What You Can't Find In Ivy Town...
It's a nice day out today. Nice enough that the sunshine tempts Dinadan to carry his books outside and do his homework there instead of in his bedroom or in the lab. The birds (not over his head, so they can't poop on him or his books) are singing and the breeze is rustling through the leaves of nearby bushes (which are not full of bugs that may try to crawl into his ears unexpectedly), and he is wearing a sunhat in case he falls asleep.

Life is good.

He covers a yawn with his hand and turns the page, idly scribbling away on his scratch paper.

	That's when the whole world begins to grow around Din, as if he were shrinking. And a swarm of tarantulas begin to swarm around from the other side of the tree trunk he's been leaning against. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"What the--" Dinadan shrieks in a way that might be described as "girly" if someone were feeling cruel and not being attacked by a swarm of spiders themselves. He starts running as best he can with his powers going suddenly out of whack on him, sticking his fingers in his mouth and whistling loudly for Tris. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The spiders begin pouring out of the ground. As he runs, he comes slamming directly into a thick web he hadn't seen moments before. And dangling above him... a cocoon with a single arm free, hanging limply. Din would recognize the blue and red sleeve anywhere. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"DAD!" Dinadan screams, spotting the cocoon. No way. No way that a bunch of stupid spiders had gotten his dad; not when his Dad had fought supervillains and caimans, no way. "DAD!"

He spies Tris in the distance -- no, not in the distance, she's shrunk too.

Wait. Wait, this can't be right. The spiders, the uncontrolled shrinking, his dad, Tris...it was too much. Someone was messing with him.

Dinadan ignored his father's arm and concentrated hard on changing his weight. Spider-webs might be able to hold him at this size and weight, but they couldn't hold him at his maximum.

	The webs don't give... and the spiders swarm closer, each one as large as Din himself... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan flips into Katarthan to properly express his opinions of the parentage and species of probable off-spring of whoever is responsible for this. It helps him remember that this isn't actually happening. It can't be. He's still got a leg free. It's better than nothing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert steps up to the flailing Din, who is not trapped in any web, but is merely caught in a cruel illusion. Enhancing his strength somewhat, he brings his fist down on Din's head, while in the illusion, the spiders begin to swarm over him... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan screams once more in fear and defiance before the blow connects. Then, he's out cold. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I've got the prince. (Reply to this)(Parent)
