A man hunched over his desk, thinking of ways to murder his ex-wife.
To be honest, Gray had no idea what happened to Hazel after The Challenge. Before this, she used to be kind, and would never lay a finger on their children unless necessary. Nowadays, she'd beat them religiously on a daily basis. Adam took the most damage compared to his younger siblings, Hazel being smart enough to avoid hitting places that would look obvious in a T-shirt or shorts, meaning that Adam's back is covered in bruises. No one at the school suspected a thing. Even Gray knew about it months after the beating started. He wanted to report her, to do something, but his parents-in-law is too deep in her lies and claims that she is 'a nice, loving mother, just as she always had been'. He's pretty sure she even triggered Zach and Kat's powers. God, who knew that Kat wasn't mute after all? He was lucky enough to get a divorce a few weeks ago, and now he gets to murder her? Jackpot.
He thought about turning into a bear and maul her. That would be nice, but Hazel's too much of a pretentious shit to even take a walk at the lawn, so why the fuck would she end up in a forest? Scrap that. How about... a lion? Wait, what's a lion doing in the middle of a city? That's dumb. Shark? Hazel lives in the middle of the city now, and the nearest shore is a 100 kilometres away. Even dumber. He can't transform into the same animal that killed the other teammates, so a dog, snake and bird is out of the question. Why didn't he plan this earlier? He really did want to get this over with. He began mentally listing down Hazel's dislikes and allergies. She hates uncooperative people, pineapples, olives... this isn't working. What about allergies? She's allergic to dust, lazy people... bees. She's allergic to bees. Fatally allergic to bees.
Also sort of dumb, but it causes a slow, painful death, so why not? Surely he can do better than just a bee. Wasps? Is there anything more venomous than a wasp? His remaining braincell says no. Alright then. One big wasp coming up.
It took him a while to find her exact address (she obviously didn't tell him, why would she do that?). He stood in front of the many apartments localized in the eastern side of the city at night, looking for Hazel's window. As always, the window is open. When they were married, they agreed on closing and opening the window every other night. Now that he thought about it, it's a miracle how they even managed to have an agreement. Hazel is a notoriously hard negotiator. He hid behind a pillar to avoid people passing by seeing a man magically turn into a wasp. He flew up to her window and landed on the windowsill, looking for any hint that she's home. Hazel enters his sight, going into the kitchen to grab some chips for a late night snack. By the gods, her entire room is messy. He expected her to be happier without him and the kids. Who knew that she herself was a slob? He silently flew into the room, following Hazel as she slumped on her couch, a romcom movie playing on the TV. He was never really into her romcom movies, so he didn't know what it is. Not that he cared anyways.
He immediately dived down and stung her arm, causing her to scream in pain and wildly beat the air around her. Gray escaped swiftly as she struggled on the couch. Minutes later, she laid still on her couch, motionless with no signs of life. That was surprisingly quick. He returned home, glad that his last duty as Teal 1 is over. Now, all he has to do is wait for about 13 more years for his inevitable death in the hands of the next Teal 1.
