"What! What!"
Steve turned back to the screen in time to see another figure grow right in front of his eyes. Dressed in the same standard issue prison uniform as Erica the figure continued to rise until her growth ceased at the exact same height as the other giantess. This giant woman also clutched something very familiar to Steve in her hand. His shrink ray.
"Oh God Debbie. What have you done." Steve said ashamed.
"She's lost her mind Steve!" Beth screamed.
Both watched as the news channel ticker flashed an update across the screen.
A SECOND GIANT HAS APPEARED ON THE SCENE!
Steve buried his head in his hands.
"Our lives are over. Why? Why did she think this, out of all things, was the best course of action." Steve vented.
"You said it yourself. When you visited her she sounded scared Steve. I guess we know why. I'm scared too. But you and me we've both thought the past would bury us before. And yet here we are. Not all hope is lost. As long as we have each other we can find a way to get through this."
Steve appreciated the wise words of wisdom from someone who understood the trauma he was feeling right now. Hell. Sometimes he forgot Beth lost colleagues and friends during Erica's first rampage. She even lost her own father. Locked away and a shell of man after his experience. Beth often confided in Steve that she had trouble not blaming herself for how her father ended up. Still like she said. Together they had managed continue to live their lives and up until now he would say he had even gotten his joy back.
The very idea of having to go through all this again made him sick to his stomach. The fact that Debbie had orchestrated these events directly made him wonder was their even a path forward for them. Yes, they had their three beautiful children, but at what point does enough become enough. Oh God. Steve hadn't even considered the effect this would have on his kids.
Life for them hadn't been easy since Erica's first rampage concluded. Derek had become distant ever since he learned Debbie would be going to jail. In his mind his mom was a hero and no matter how many times Steve explained the law to him he couldn't convince his son anything other than she was taking the fall for him. Lisa had become much more interested in Steve's work and pushed hard to visit his new lab. However because of his growing closeness to Beth Steve kept his curious daughter at bay and she was definitely feeling rejected by her father, a man she strived to be like, because it. Nicole had become obsessed with seeing all the video clips and images of Erica's rampage. Several times he caught her watching found footage clip compilations of some of Erica's victims. Steve was getting particularly concerned that his youngest daughter was becoming desensitized to all that violence. Maybe even obsessed. What could all three of them be thinking now having seen the woman who had raised them grow ginormous and walk side by side with a killer?
With his eyes glued to the television Steve felt like he was watching some sort of monster movie rather than a breaking news report. He and Beth sat waiting to see what twist and turns the events on the screen would take. Luckily it appeared that Debbie's sudden growth had deterred many police officers from continuing the fight. The camera captured their by comparison tiny forms flee from the approaching giants. Maybe that was Debbie's intention all along. Save some lives through fear rather than by force. Steve could understand the logic. God knows Erica had no problem taking lives. He was still hopeful that power had not corrupted the woman he loved. Maybe she was still the same old Debbie who was too afraid to even crush a spider even if she was now a towering giant.
Now with some space both women moved forward. Their giant feet stomped some squad cars flat as they walked. When it was clear the cars were abandoned Steve breathed a sigh of relief. His solace was quickly shattered as the camera on screen quick cut to a group of heavily armed men piling out of black armored cars. A new update flashed down below.
