We Have A Problem (Open)

[Deleted]

Maleficent raised an eyebrow at Pepper’s phrasing, but agreed nonetheless. Even if she was no longer able to use her magic powers, there were others who still could. The dark fairy doubted that they would let them stay this way any longer than was necessary.

“I’m sure we’ll be back to our normal selves soon enough,” she said, trying not to sound too optimistic.

Maleficent watched Pepper and nodded in approval. It was just as she had predicted it would be.

“You see? You’ve already improved.”

Living Room:

Diablo smiled at her as she said it would be fine.

"Thank you. I hope I can be a bird again but at least this way I can stay with you if we can't reverse it." said Diablo.

He smiled glancing at Pepper seeing Maleficent's lessons were already working.

XXXX

Freckles grinned watching her sister walk.

"I think we're gettnig better at this. Maleficent's a great teacher." said Freckles.

She paused glancing at some of the others and sighed. This would be a big adjustment. She just hoped they could reverse this soon.

XXXX

Elisa grinned.

"I guess so." said Elisa.

She nodded in agreement.

"I'm just glad you're here. Lion, vampire, human, whatever. At least we're together. And I hope there isn't a next time. Because as much as being a vampire would be fun I wouldn't want to put anyone else through this again." said Elisa.

XXXX

Wille shrugged.

"Well at least it can't get any-"

He stopped seeing Chick glare at him and smiled sheepishly.

XXXX

Chick's eyes widened at Willie's words.

"Don't finish that sentence. You never say that because it can always get well you know." said Chick.

Chick turned to Chick and smiled at him.

"Well at least the bright side is none of us are dead or imprisoned. These transformations are annoying but at least none of us are separated." said Chick.

She smiled as he said he wouldn't let Dark Nella touch him.

"I appreciate that but right now neither of us are able to do much fighting." said Chick.

She laughed as he fell covering her mouth hoping he hadn't heard her. She nodded.

"I guess we're stuck like this so we need to make the best of it. Being angry or sad about this isn't going to change anything. Hopefully the other will find a cure soon." said Chick.

XXXX

Bruce nodded.

"I guess there's no point to dwell on the past. I'd rather have a dog Tony than a dead one. I just hope we get this fixed soon." said Bruce.

He nodded in agreement.

"We'll find a way to fix this. I normally put my faith in science but if magic fixes this I won't complain." said Bruce.

Bruce chuckled.

"I guess I do. You wouldn't be you without your stubbornness." said Bruce.

Bruce shook his head.

"Squirrels can be tricky. And even if they don't hurt you could get hurt just by chasing them. Accidents can happen Tony." said Bruce.

He sighed turning to Jane.

"I guess we should be grateful they're alive. Human, animal, object, or whatever else they were turned into." said Bruce.

XXXX

Thor shrugged.

"I hope we reverse this soon. I don't like being this small." said Thor.

He smiled as she still called him brave even though he knows she was just trying to cheer him up.

XXXX

Kim sighed.

"They might have seen what we turned into though so maybe it wouldn't be a good idea after all." said Kim.

XXXX

Harvey smiled at Lottie.

"It's alright Lottie. There's no point in working yourself up over this. Until we find an antidote we're all stuck like this. I just hope it's not something i have to put in my body. Since I don't have one anymore." said Harvey.

He paused seeing Linkara leave and now he felt guilty. Linkara was one of his best friends and someone he viewed like a son an a good friend. He'd apologize later. Right now he wanted to spend time with Lottie.

"I want to believe that. But what if I'm stuck like this? You deserve better than a man stuck as a microphone." said Harvey.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts looked up as Linkara joined her.

"I think so yes. Some of them were hurt pretty bad though. It will take them time to recover and these new forms are just making them more nevous." said Mrs. Potts.

She smiled as Marzgurl arrived. She then saw a horse arrive and knock over a lamp. She walked over to the horse hoping she wasn't frightening her.

"It's alright. Who are you? Can you speak?" asked Mrs. Potts.

Ma-Ti coudln't speak as a horse but that was a different spell. So perhaps this horse could speak like the other transformed animals. That's assuming this horse was a transformed animal and not just a regular horse.

XXXX

Marzgurl walked out next hearing Linkara's voice but seeing a dog talking to Mrs. Potts. She walked over to him in surprise.

"Linkara? What's going on?" asked Marzgurl.

She then recognized several other voices and realized Harvey was a microphone. Tony, Kim, and Thor were now animals. And many of the others had changed as well.

"This is not good." said Marzgurl.

XXXX

Michelangelo smiled weakly at his brother but he didn't really believe him. He nodded.

"Sure. You can have some." said Michelangelo.

He shrugged at that. He was human now and he felt more different from his family than ever now. He knew his family was trying to make him feel better especially Splinter. But now that he was no longer a turtle it just sunk in even further.

"Maybe I should just stay like this. I wasn't a very good turtle. Maybe I'll be better as a human." said Michelangelo.

He nodded listening to his brother. He knew Donatello and the others
would try to find a way to reverse this. If there was a way. He sighed and shook his head.

"I don't see how it can." said Michelangelo.

He munched on his slice of pizza while looking out the window.

XXXX

Carly paused hearnig the problem.

"This isn't good. Come on. Let's go talk with the others." said Carly.

She walked out with Steve rejoinin the others seeing many of the others had transformed.

"This is worse than I thought. You know this reminds me of the curse from Beauty and the Beast. When the prince was cursed he had to find someone to love him in return to turn him and the servants human again. But I don't think Facilier and the others would give us a way out like that. At least if they did they weren't aware of it." said Carly.

She paused walking over to Jane and Bruce. She smiled glancing down at Thor and then at Tony with a grin.

"Only you could stay cute even as a dog." said Carly.

She turned back to Jane and Bruce.

"Any theories on how to proceed?" asked Carly.

She paused seeing Broadcast grab Starscream and Belle walk in and knock a lamp over.

"Okay I think we need to put our members who were turned into animals somewhere where they can't hurt someone or each other. This could take days or weeks even. And it will take time to adjust to working on four or two legs depending on the change." said Carly.

She paused turning to Broadcast.

"You know you're holding Starscream right. Your boss. When he returns to normal he may no be happy that you treated him like a toy." said Carly.

Medical bay:

Dean sighed as Ma-Ti finished patching him up. He knew he was talknig with Linksano and Magnus but all he could hear was neighing. He felt bad for the boy. He was a teenager again but at least he could talk. Poor Ma-Ti. He smiled hugging the boy.

"Thank you Ma-Ti. I'm not good about talking about feelings especially my own. But I'm a good listener. If you need anything even just to vent let me know." said Dean.

Dean smiled seeing Ma-Ti write back.

"Your welcome." said Dean.

XXXx

Ma-Ti was shocked as Dean hugged him and he smiled. He grabbed the dry erase board that he always kept with him.

"Thank you."

He turned to Magnus and Linksano who were both praising him and he blushed.

"Thank you both. You're really good friends. I'm glad I have you two to talk to." said Ma-Ti.

He smiled hugging both horses as Magnus nuzzled him.

"If you get stuck as horses for good I'll take care of you. Just like I do Uncle Spirit." said Ma-Ti.

XXXX

Linksano smiled as Ma-Ti thanked them. And said if they were stuck lke this he'd take care of them.

"It would be an honor to be taken care of by you Ma-Ti. I hope to one day be human again. I can't exactly invent things as a horse after all. But if this is my fate at least I still have you and Magnus and Spirit." said Linksano.

He turned to Magnus and was shocked at Magnus's faith in him. He was blushing at the praise and Magnus's words before he spoke.

"You barely know me and now you're defending me? It took Linkara and the others time to warm up to me. Granted I tried to kill them but no one's really tried to stand up for me like that. To try to make me feel like I matter. Thank you." said Linksano.

XXXX

Mike grinned at Spoony.

"Well you should." said Mike.

He paused and shrugged.

"Well didn't you guys appoint generals like Linkara and Marzgurl? I mean even if they both got transformed you can still delegate. Appoint some people to help you until we fix this. It's one of the reasons we started the reviewer council to share the workload." said Mike.

Mike shrugged.

"They're around somewhere. Hopefully still human. We need all the humans available to reverse this." said Mike.

Mike turned to Sherlock with a grin.

"Well it's the truth." said Mike.

Mike grinned as Sherlock blushed.

"Even as an animal you're cute when you blush." said Mike.

He smiled as Sherlock nuzzled up to him as his own nerves faded away He nuzzled back just glad they were still together.

Living Room

Pepper meanwhile was with Diablo and Freckles along with maleficent. She continued walking and realized the more, the better. The new girl grinned at Freckles and maleficent and replied "This is great! I'm doing it!" She continued and beamed. She was so glad she was doing well. The human form may be good after all.
XXXXX

"I too hope there isn't a next time. This is a very unfortunate case" Hal said after everything was said and done. He then beamed, relieved by the fact they were together as the same species. "It is good however that we're together as the same species. I must say, I do like this form and not some other one" He then nuzzled against Elisa once again.
XXXXX

"Don't either you say it! We all know it and that's what matters!" Critic replied as his little head popped from the tub again. He was glad he didn't get hurt but decided to stay right in the tub. He then turned to Chick and nodded in complete agreement "Anything is better than death. This is bad but it's way better than being gone" He then mumbled disappointedly as Chick pointed out rightfully that as they were, they couldn't do well fighting. She a mermaid and he a small otter.

He then saw her try not to laugh from his fall and he too ignored it. He did however wipe his face in embarrassment. "Yeah and let's not be ashamed of it either. For the record, that fall was on purpose"
XXXX

"I'm glad I'm not dead either thanks" Tony responded sarcastically, panting in some sort of delight. He then nodded "Magic, science, voodoo, bullshit, I don't care. As long as it's fixed. As long as I get back to normal. As cute as I may be, I have a job to do!" He then scratched his ear instinctively, and chuckled despite himself. He really was getting into the role of a dog apparently. It seemed, despite himself, it didn't faze him too bad.

Tony beamed as Bruce said his stubbornness was a part of Tony and that it wouldn't be the same without it. He loved Bruce's honesty and did love the fact that despite the grimace of the situation, Bruce still loved him. He then pouted in disappointment as Bruce strictly told him to be careful regardless and no hunting small animals "Gosh, try to kill the fun in it, bruce. Alright. I'll chill. For you" He then beamed as Steve and Tease came and he raised his head as Tease said he was cute. "Aw shucks Dr. Tease. Stop you'll make me wag my tail"
XXX

"We'll reverse this thor" Jane assured. She then nodded at Bruce's comments "I'd rather have my boyfriend be a fluff-ball than a dead man" She turned to him and winced "No offense" She then nodded to kim in agreement. She then shrugged "Any option is a option. I know I'm supposed to not approve of magic but in this case I'll make a exception"

"Tease!" She greeted the woman as she and steve quickly came back. She then nodded "He probably didn't. This is way worse than beauty and the beast Tease. Way worse. We have a theory to use every option so far. Science and magic" She shrugged
XXXX

"Yes. It's not good" Steve responded as she and himself went downstairs. He then turned and chuckled to Tony as he responded to Tease's comment "Down, tony. Down" He then listened as Bruce, Jane and Tease all discussed what they could do. "I'm just glad nobody got hurt entirely. Or gone. That could make this situation far, far worse than anything else"
XXXXX

"We don't know yet dear. Best we keep our heads up still" Lottie responded. She then noticed Linkara retreat but didn't bother, seeing Harvey still talk to her. The blond woman shook her head at him "Nonsense. You stop this talk now, ya hear? There's a cure and we'll find it. I don't care how long it takes. Don't you worry about the future, Harvey" She then giggled "I mean, what better teacher of karaoke than a microphone?" She did this to cheer the crooner up. She wanted Harvey to stop worrying and be more positive. It was all they could do to have hope.
XXXXX

Linkara was glad Mrs. Potts took him seriously and told him about the injured "You're right. Some of us are nervous thanks to our forms. Thankfully I have a level head other than some itchiness, the need to chase my tail and the need to chase a cat" He chuckled despite himself. The dog then turned and went over to marzgurl, wagging his tail happily. "Marzgurl! I'm so glad you're not affected!" When asked what was wrong, Linkara turned to see her express negativity about the situation.

"Facilier had a spell that made all of us into whatever the heck it wanted. Many are animals, some are household appliances, but a lot of us are changed one way or another" He explained to Marzgurl. He scratched his own ear before raising himself up to try and comfort her. "Obviously I'm affected"
XXXX

Donny nodded his thanks and took some. He then frowned sadly as Mikey seemed to lost hope. This war affected the youngest of them the most. He wished Mikey would just be his annoyingly jokeful self again. It was horrible to see mikey so unhappy. "Now you stop that. You're a turtle through and through and you're a good one. Stop that right now. You better not lose yourself just because this happened"

"It will mikey" Donny said hopefully "If you give up, Facilier wins" Donny then saw Mikey look out the window. He then sighed. Mikey could be pretty stubborn sometimes. Then again all of the turtles were one way or another. It would take time.

Medical Bay

"No problem kid. We're glad you're glad. You deserve to talk to people" Magnus said to the boy. The horse then smiled as the boy promised to care for them if they never changed back to normal "I'd like that, thank you ma-ti" He then turned as Linksano was responding that at least he had ma-ti, spirit and himself. That made magnus happier about his situation that much more.

"It doesn't matter how long we've known each other Linksano. You're my friend and I always, always stick up for my friends. You do matter, Linksano. I need you just as much as anyone here does. I don't care what you did in the past, you're on my side and that's important" Magnus responded as Linksano brought up the fact he was defending him. The horse then came closer to Linksano but kept it at a good distance. He wanted linksano to know he was here
XXXX

Spoony smiled at Mike, then answered his questions about generals "We have general replacements. Snob and roses may take places or joe will. We have some preparements, just not large ones. Yeah we did do this to share responsibility in case something like this would happen" He then saw Sherlock and Mike interact and smiled. He felt this way with goggles and was glad these two were so close.
XXXX

"Every human has counted before but they are more important now" Sherlock commented also about the problem. He then beamed as Mike insisted that his praise is true. Sherlock then smiled as Mike called him cute when blushing in any form. He didn't know what to say anymore. He felt flattered by Mike, then again he loved the man turned animal. Sherlock allowed Mike to continue nuzzling him and enjoyed the feeling of his love with him. At least we're together, Sherlock thought to himself. Yes at least they were together.

[Deleted]

Maleficent watched Pepper’s growing excitement with mounting amusement. The faintest of smiles was making its way across her face.

“So I see.”

“I think we're getting better at this. Maleficent's a great teacher.”

The ever-widening smile faltered when a soft sigh was heard next. Gold eyes flitted from Freckles’ face to Diablo’s. Maleficent’s expression changed, shifting itself into something more comforting.

“Of course we’ll be able to reverse the spell,” she remarked. “I doubt any of our comrades want to remain stuck in their current bodies any longer than they need to be. But until then, everything will be all right.”
