Meanwhile, Rico surprises the hell out of B6, and after the inhibitor is yanked off his head he flails backward and tumbles right off the arm of the throne to the floor. For a moment, his eyes go wide due to the now-alien neurochemical rush in his head, one he hasn't felt since shortly after he was born, and in that frozen moment it almost seems like maybe he has no emotions at all, even without the inhibitor.

Then tears start to pour from his eyes like a spigot has suddenly been turned on. He screams a scream of rage and misery, and starts flailing in a towering tantrum on the floor.

"I hate you I hate you I hate you! I'll kill you all! You - you meanies!"

Despite his words, he sounds like any other two-year-old, shrieking at the top of their lungs because mommy and daddy won't let them have a candy bar.

Where he sits in his throne, watching the chaos unfold, Brainy is still silent and unmoving, but he can still be heard making the subtlest little snort of amusement at the absolute blistering insanity that has suddenly filled the room.

Bees. Bees.
