Anomaly had been summoned by Island to the lab about something to do with the now retired Fuma Hanzo. He wasn't sure what it was about, but he hoped it didn't have anything to do with the gear he "borrowed indefinitely" from Hanzo's gear that used to be on display in the Hall of Heroes, now that he was retired. As he walked in, he was greeted by a smile on Island's face that stretched wickedly from ear to ear.
"Frank!" Island called to Anomaly by his first name. "Frank, you won't believe this!"
"What is it?" Frank nervously asked as he approached Island.
"Frank, check this out!" Island continued, as he displayed a a clear plexiglass cube to Frank, that appeared to have a colony of honey bees inside.
"So......... You started raising bees?" asked Frank, a little perplexed but relieved this meeting had nothing to do with the missing gear from the Hall of Heroes.
"Not JUST bees, Frank!" Island exclaimed. "I used morphon particles to infuse Hanzo's DNA into these honey bees!"
"Frank took a few minutes to try and comprehend what Island had told him before responding in the most confused manner, "Wait....... What?.........."
"Don't you get it, Frank?" asked Island. "Hanzo was a shapeshifter of the highest order! By infusing his DNA into these bees, we make their potential to evolve unlimited!"
Anomaly continued to look at Island perplexed.
"Ok.......... But............" he asked, "Why????"
Island put his hands on his hips as he looked intently into Anomaly's eyes and said, "The real question, Frank, is why hasn't anyone done this before????"
"Because it's a stupid and completely insane thing to do?" suggested Anomaly.
"Insane????" exasperated Island. "This is nothing! You should have seen what I did to your pillow last night!"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PILLOW????" demanded Anomaly.
"Huh? What? Nothing." deflected Island.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PILLOW????" Anomaly screamed a second time.
"Frank, keep focused on the matter at hand." Island demanded. "This is important work!"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PILLOW????" Anomaly yelled yet again.
"I told you, Frank. Nothing." Island continued gaslighting him. "Look, forget about all that and let's get back to the bees."
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PILLOW????" demanded Anomaly a final time before he grabbed Island by his shirt collar with both hands and shook him.
Shaking him incessantly, he caused Island to drop the plexiglass box holding the genetically altered bees. As the box hit the ground, it shattered, releasing the bees from their prison.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed Anomaly as the bees buzzed in his face. "NOT THE BEES! OH GOD, NOT THE BEES!"
But being peaceful honey bees, they soon left him alone and escaped out an open window.
"OH MY GOD!" yelled Anomaly.
"What?" asked Island.
"THE BEES, YOU FOOL!" Anomaly screamed at Island. "WE RELEASED GENETICALLY ENHANCED BEES OUT INTO AN UNSUSPECTING WORLD!!!!"
"Oh, that." replied Island nonchalantly. "No big deal. I'll just make some more."
"MAKE SOME MORE????" Anomaly questioned. "You're completely bat $#!+ crazy!!!!"
" I know. Ain't it great?" responded Island.
"No! No, it isn't great!" sputtered Anomaly. "We have no idea what kind of disaster we just set loose upon the world! Who knows what they will evolve into with Hanzo's DNA! And if they get a colony foothold and start breeding........ Oh my God, I shudder to think of what you've done!"
"What I've done?" asked Island. "I didn't do anything. You broke the box. Besides, they can't breed. They're all males."
"You accelerated the evolution with Hanzo's DNA, Island!" fumed Anomaly. "What if they evolve to reproduce anyway????"
Island looked past Anomaly out the window and watched as the bees made their way to the Olympic Games Arena in the center of town.
"Do you really think they could just spontaneously evolve vaginas?" Island posited. "That would be intriguing.........."
