I also rated your story as Exciting, although it doesn't appear to be showing up... hm. Well, in any case, I believe it's exciting, and that's important also, yes? I love the idea, and I really agree that had Richie been exposed to more metagas (as he was in the finale) his powers would be much stronger.
And in response to your other reviwer, I don't think that you should alter your writing style at all. First of all, censorship is annoying. Secondly, I didn't even really notice the swearing, so it wasn't distracting at all, and that's the important part.
I like your writing style.
