Kiss From a Rose

[Mr. I]
"I don't know what else to say," says Ethan. "We've been good friends for a while. It won't be the same without you."
"What won't be the same? Are you leaving?"
Phoebe enters the room as Ethan puts a hand on LOBO's shoulder.
"I'm not the one who is facing extermination, am I?" he says. "The bottom line is, there are well-organized squads of Girl Scouts currently being briefed in how to kill you."
"Where are you sending him?" says Phoebe. "And will we ever see him again?"
"I've already got Max, Brighta and Vetter working on that." Ethan looks at LOBO for a long moment. "Haven't you ever seen what happens when you try to get rid of this guy? I'm sending him to another dimension, I'm not sending him to fucking Jersey for Chrissake."
"Jesus Christ," says LOBO. "I'm getting kicked out of a whole dimension again?"
Phoebe crosses to the bewildered being --the simple soul so shallow, flat and infinitely glacial no motive of evil could claw any purchase-- and kissed him goodbye.
"I'm trusting you," says LOBO to Ethan and Phoebe. "Well, I'm trusting Ethan more. I've known Phoebe has been wanting to get into my pants for a long time now."
Phoebe, with a fistful of LOBO's hair, glared menacingly.

Into The Vortex LOBO went.
"God I can't believe he fell for that," says Ethan, elated. Cutting the tip a fine cigar he says, "LOBO will be very happy where I sent him."
Phoebe, alarmed, says, "Wait a minute. Using a hyperdimensional vortex, you sent LOBO to another universe?"
"Yes," replies Ethan. "Hyperdimensional Vortexes aren't cheap you know--"
"Well, LOBO is maybe in another dimension," says Phoebe as she waves away the smoke, "But you got something back in return ..."
