Steve couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as his once cheery lab assistant drove down the abandoned city streets in silence. Her bright blue eyes were now cold as ice and the warm and inviting smile he'd come to know had been replaced by a resting scowl.
Even Debbie took notice of the blondes change in attitude. It was already apparent she was at the end of her rope and her leaving two people to suffocate in a small mountain of shit was just the cherry on top of her bad mood. She was ready to be done with all of this.
"Uh... Beth." Steve tried.
"Yes." She replied shortly.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
He mentally kicked himself. Obviously, she wasn't alright. She watched her friends die, the project she invested so much time in turn into a nightmare and almost lost her precious car to a couple of desperate car thieves. So yeah, it was safe to say that she wasn't alright.
"I'm just peachy." She answered sarcastically which really caught Steve off guard. "My friends are all dead, I'll probably be blacklisted from the science community, I'm going to need a shit ton of therapy, and I almost lost my car. I feel fantastic!"
Steve winced and so too did Debbie. The older woman still hadn't informed Beth that she was actually the one responsible for this whole mess and given her mental state it was probably for the best that she keeps that information to herself.
She checked her phone instead. "Erica has been spotted in Nancy Archer Park."
"Got it!" Beth said hotly as she performed an illegal U-turn.
"Debbie." Steve whispered. "I'm scared."
"Mee too." She agreed. "Me too."
The trio eventually stopped a few blocks away from the giantess came into view. She was seated crisscrossed just staring at the park itself. This surprised Steve as he would've bet Erica would've stepped through and destroyed the place.
"That's odd." Steve commented.
"What is?" Debbie asked.
"Don't you find it strange that's she's just sitting there and not moving?"
Before she could answer the blonde decided to cut. "She probably has indigestion from all the red meat she's been eating. Let's just shrink her down and then we can all go get drinks, my treat!"
The blonde finished her annoyed speech by thrusting her door open and slamming it shut.
Steve sighed. He swore he would find some way to make it up to the girl. He then turned his attention towards his wife. "Alright honey, I need you to follow my instructions carefully."
Debbie nodded. The pressure was on.
