As the portal powers up, filling the lab with a sickening green glow and a crackling whine, Vlad finds himself utterly transfixed. He can't move, he can do nothing but gape at the incredible power that they've tapped into.
Did they really do it? Were their calculations right after all? It's--amazing, awe-inspiring, terrible--
And then it shoots an enormous beam of energy straight into Vlad's face. Terrible, indeed. The pain utterly wracks him, he can do nothing but scream until the beam subsides and even without seeing it, he can tell from the unimaginable burning sting that something is horribly wrong.
His face is absolutely covered in nasty pimples and boils, shiny and red and full of glowing pus. His hair is already streaked through with white, and it will only get worse with time.
His friends, partners, confidantes--and Maddie, the love of his life--stare at him and gasp in utter horror, clinging to each other for dear life and staring at him like he's some kind of abomination.
After whatever that energy did to him, maybe he is now. ]
