That was enough to leave him pretty much soaked from head to toe. Fortunately the omnicoms were waterproof.

Nick drew in a long, deep breath and let it out.

"Okay," he finally said, taking off his sunglasses and placing them and his omnicom down on the cooler next to his chair, his voice very calm. "I hope you realize this means war."

And with that he darted to his feet and instead of lunging at the bucket of filled water balloons, he lunged at her. Knowing that she was quick enough to hop out of his way, he created an illusion that he was coming at her from one direction as a feint, while covering himself with invisibility as he came at her from another angle. He was careful to make the illusion look as nonthreatening as possible, making sure it had the same smug grin he had on his face for real.

His goal? To grab her around the waist and toss her over his shoulder. She was small enough for him to do it.
