With the hose stuck in the Obstagoon's maw, and the helium flowing, Wick makes his intent clear with a flick of his claw sending the air tanks's valve flying. Nell's once slim frame balloons into a sphere so nicely that even her nemesis can't help but appreciate how much of a natural she seems to be at this. Sending her skyward is one thing, but the absolute cheek of how much Upsurge enjoys this was the step too far. That teasing squeeze and hug snaps her out of her panic and brings her welcome clarity of how she can turn this all around.

While Nell absolutely crumbles when at a size disadvantage, her natural abilities shine bright when she towers over her foes - and little does the villain know that his trademark maneouver may be about to turn this whole thing around. All she needs to do is to fight against all logical instinct and let that air fill her up just a little longer until her size exceeds his. The sound of her creaking frame no longer showing resistance should be clear enough warning that Wick needs to be wary that things are changing - but as all too often happens, he's gone into marketing mode and is oblivious to what sight awaits just behind him.

This is page six of a comic commission for VDO featuring their Obstagoon character Nell, and my character Wick.
