"Aaaah!!! Get back here, you bastards!!!"
Up in the air, Firefly, who had been whipped by vines until his whole body had swollen a size, flew unsteadily while trailing black smoke, cursing Hugo, those idiotic gangsters, and their entire families.
Goddammit, those bastards actually ran off while I was getting beaten up, without even looking back.
We're teammates! You'll get what's coming to you for screwing over a teammate like this!
"You bastard! Come down and fight me to the death if you've got the guts! Or is buzzing around in the sky like a coward the only thing you can do?"
While Firefly cursed his teammates, Poison Ivy stood below, cursing him.
Thanks to Zuo Ci's Fertilizer, she had grown considerably stronger than she had been at the beginning, so even against Firefly, an Arsonist whose powers naturally countered hers, she felt no pressure at all.
Unfortunately, the wretched bastard wore a flight rig he had developed himself. It looked utterly unreliable, yet somehow refused to break down.
Once he realized he couldn't gain the upper hand, he simply flew up into the air and refused to come down, leaving her with no way to hit him!
"Pah! Do you think I'm an idiot? Just watch me burn you and this entire street to the ground!"
Firefly cursed even harder. Goddammit, as if my teammates ditching me wasn't enough, now you're trying this brain-dead provocation? Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?
Angry as he was, Firefly was in a difficult position himself. His flamethrower wasn't much use against Poison Ivy, and his flight rig had been damaged in the initial sneak attack. It could only lift him into the air, not move him around, which was a real headache.
The two of them were effectively stuck
