Henry Danger Reader Insert | Captain Man x Reader: SEASON 3
Episode 2: Love Muffin
~The Man Cave~
Something was up, something big. Ray had called Henry and Charlotte to the Man Cave way past their bedtimes and now, they were pacing around the main room with (y/n). She knew as much as they did, absolutely jack all and was just as worried for whatever emergency was going on as they were.
"Why would he want want us here after midnight on a Thursday?" Henry asked as they all paced around, but no one could give him an answer. Charlotte and (y/n) were still in their pyjamas and extremely sleepy, but their worried minds wouldn't let them get any sleep until they knew what was going on.
"I don't know, but if it's because he had a bad dream again, I am not gonna sing him a lullaby this time. That's your job." Charlotte looked at (y/n) who rolled her eyes and went back to her panicking.
"No, he's not been around all evening, I don't know where he is. God...I'm so worried." She breathed out and rubbed her eyes with the palm of her heels as she tried not to get into a state. He was indestructible and more than capable of looking after himself. It just concerned her that he'd not sent a text or left a note about where he was going.
"I'm here!" Jasper panted as he came bumbling down in the elevator. He had an odd choice of pyjamas; an all American flag onesie, but the weirdest thing about him was the fact that he had his hair done up in rollers.
"That's an emergency." Henry deadpanned. He couldn't see Jasper like that and not poke fun at him. It was just too good of an opportunity to miss.
"Are you...why would...curlers?" Charlotte stuttered as she struggled to put her shock into words. Why would he put them in his hair? Did he do it every night? So many questions.
"What, you thought my hair was naturally curly?" He asked the girls as he smirked at their open mouths. He just did it to spice up his look and he'd been doing it for years.
"I feel lied to." (y/n) commented, but her joking stopped as the tube alarm beeped and Ray came down, with a stupid look on his face.
"Heyyyyyy. Hello, friends. Welcome, welcome!" He breathed out dreamily, confusing the woman and teens as he greeted them. Why did he seem so out of it?
"Hey..." The kids said as (y/n) put her hands on her hips and gave him a pointed stare. She wanted to know why she had been waiting up, worried sick all night for him to come home.
"Ray Manchester, where have you been? I've been---" She was cut off as Ray smushed his finger against her lips to shut her up. Seriously, what was up with him? He'd never stop (y/n) from speaking normally, but this wasn't normal.
"And now...I want to introduce you guys to someone very special..." Ray told his friends and (y/n) felt her heart clench as she got the feeling that he was about to do something dreadful. The alarm for the other tube sounded and down came a very beautiful woman, wearing dark makeup and dark clothes. Holy shit.
"Who's that?" Charlotte whispered to the woman but she was shutting down, both mentally and physically as she sensed the worst. Her nightmare come to life, right in front of her and she couldn't move.
"I don't know. Looks like a woman." Henry whispered back, seeing that (y/n) was pale and shaking, worrying him beyond belief. It took a lot to get her like this and he didn't like how she was reacting.
Ray brought the woman into his arms and gave her a soft kiss on the lips, making (y/n) choke up as tears sprung to her eyes. Was he doing this deliberately as some sort of cruel prank? To bring this into the Man Cave at such a late hour seemed so unkind like he was rubbing it in her face and Charlotte put a hand on her shoulder as she trembled.
"Everyone...this is Gwen," Ray said her name and (y/n) immediately hated it. It could've been anything and she'd hate it, but the way the woman smirked at her sickened reaction made her heart ache more. Sure, he'd had girlfriends in the past and they stung, like she'd had boyfriends and stung him, but this felt different, more intense and like he genuinely wanted it to work. And that made her heart throb.
"Hi, guys." Gwen smiled sinisterly to the kids, who also instantly disliked her. What was Ray thinking? Bringing her down into his secret hideout and flaunting his new relationship in front of the woman he really loved, was he insane?
"Ray, can I talk to you for a second?" Henry grabbed onto his boss's elbow and dragged him away from Gwen's arms, which didn't go down very well with Ray. (y/n) hated the way he whined when he had to let go of the dark-haired woman and she had to turn away to stop her mind from keeping the image forever.
"Hold on, I'd really rather--" The large man made grabby hands at his new woman, but Henry was on a mission and he wasn't gonna let this go without an answer. He had way too much loyalty to (y/n) and the hope of her and Ray getting together.
"Just a sec, so sorry." He said as he yanked him away, even though he wasn't sorry at all. In fact, he was rather proud of himself for getting him to stop slathering all over her.
"Are you crazy!!" Henry hissed at him as he made sure that Charlotte was comforting the heartbroken young woman behind him. Good, he needed her distracted so he could give his boss a good talking to.
"What?" Ray looked at him innocently, not being able to pick up on anyone else's feelings through the haze of love he felt for Gwen. It was like his mind wasn't his own.
"You can't just bring some stranger down here into the Man Cave!" Henry hissed, deciding to use (y/n) as his main argument in a few moments. He wanted to shock Ray into sense and if he had to pull out the big guns, he would.
"Oh, Gwen's not a stranger." Ray scoffed, looking over at the bewitching woman with heart eyes. He couldn't even hear the way (y/n) was sniffing into Charlotte's shoulder.
"Well, how long have you known her?," Henry asked as he saw how broken the young woman was. This Gwen girl better be good, but then again, the boy was sure that no one would ever suit Ray more than (y/n) did. They were soulmates.
"Almost three hours." Ray cooed and rested his head on Henry's shoulder, but the boy was disgusted with his behaviour. So many years of loving (y/n) and he was throwing it all away for an actual stranger?
"What?! Three hours?! Dude, what about (y/n)?" He said the woman's name quietly, but she was so distraught that she could only hear the words 'I've lost him' bouncing around in her head. She knew this day would come when he found a nice girl and settled down with her properly, but she didn't think it would be tonight or without her. That last shred of hope that he might turn around and say that she was the one he wanted, died when she saw his loving gaze at Gwen. He wasn't hers to love anymore.
"What about her? I love Gwen...Ooo, that reminds me. I gotta tell her she's Miss Danger and you're Kid Danger." Ray suddenly perked up and Henry scrambled to stop him, but he was too strong and too fast to hold back.
"What? No, no, no--" Henry panicked, but Ray wasn't thinking straight.
"Hey, honey?" He smiled at Gwen, making (y/n) lookup from Charlotte's shoulder with red, puffy eyes. Bless her, she'd tried everything to make (y/n) feel better, but everything Charlotte tried wouldn't work and Ray was making it worse.
"Yes?" Gwen's sweet voice turned away from her conversation with Jasper to look at her new man.
"I bet you'll never guess who this loveable knucklehead really is." Ray put his arm around Henry, who was trying to escape his hold and shut him up, but he couldn't wriggle free.
"Not a good idea." Charlotte, Henry and Jasper shook their heads frantically and tried to make him zip his lip. (y/n) was still staying silent as her voice would just be small and quiet because she had taken in everything aspect of Gwen and had come to one conclusion. She was gorgeous, her figure was flawless and she obviously had something that Ray saw that she didn't have.
"Kid Danger! Haha!" Ray giggled as Gwen smirked at the new information. She was working her way into the centre of the Man Cave and it was easier than she could ever have imagined. She'd heard the rumours about Captain Man and Miss Danger being a couple, but when she learnt that, in reality, they were so careful and insecure about their love, it made Ray an easy target.
"Dude!" Henry shrieked in horror, but Ray giggled dreamily. His head was spinning and his lips moved before he could stop them. All he could see, hear and feel was Gwen.
"It's okay, Gwen even knows that I'm Captain Man. Oh, and (y/n)'s Miss Danger." He brushed off their concern as they all gasped and voiced their disgust with him. Was he trying to get them all captured or killed?
"Ray! That wasn't your secret to tell!" (y/n) finally found her voice at the mention of her name. She was certain that she was having a heart attack, but she didn't want her secrets being told to everyone that Ray fancied. That was her business and the fact that he was telling every girl that walked through his life pissed her off.
"It's fine...and guess what else." Ray shook off her anger and took Gwen's hand again as she smiled evilly at him. Surely things couldn't get worse, but the young woman felt her bravery take a back seat as they started to snuggle up again. Just last night they were the closest of friends and her love had never been brighter, but now, it was like she was the stranger and Gwen had stolen the prize right from under her nose.
"Gwen and I...we're getting married." Ray smiled and that was when the dam broke. Every tear in her body came flooding to her eyes as the news broke (y/n). Literally broke her, like Ray had taken a knife, carved out her heart and crushed it with his bare hand. She bit back her sob as she turned around quickly and sat by herself on the couch, needing to look away from whatever had happened to her best friend. The teens couldn't believe it, Ray getting married to that floozy? What?
Henry felt his own heart hurt as he watched the woman isolate herself from the group and he was taken aback by how small she seemed. Without Ray by her side, she was so lonely and fragile, like the slightest touch would break her if anyone tried to reach out and comfort her. She was on her own with her broken love.
"Heyyyy. What's the...happening?" Schwoz came in, full of beans despite the late hour, but his smile died when he saw (y/n) shaking and trying to muffle her sobs on the sofa and the shock written all over Henry, Jasper's and Charlotte's faces.
"Ray's getting married to a woman he met three hours ago!" Henry told him and Schwoz blanched at the news, his head snapping from Ray to (y/n) and then back to Ray.
"Whaaaaaaaat?!" He gasped in horror and his nose screwed up in disgust when Ray fawned over Gwen. That should've been his best friend in his arms, not this floozy.
"And--why does Jasper have those things on his head?" Schwoz asked although he should've focused on the larger problem at hand. Screw Jasper's hair, the family that Ray had built for himself was at threat and everyone needed to pull together to find out why.
~The next morning, in Junk-N-Stuff~
(y/n) hadn't slept a wink. She'd just collapsed onto her bed and sobbed into her quilt to let out nine years of broken love. Where had she gone wrong? All those times she could have said something and she hadn't, now, she felt so foolish. She'd known all along that there had always been a chance that he'd find someone else and settle down with them, but she hadn't expected it that night and she hadn't been prepared for how much it hurt.
Henry had managed to drag her from her moping around noonish and she had moodily trudged upstairs with him so she could cry in Junk-N-Stuff. It was bad for business, but the boy knew she had to get away from Ray and Gwen's kissing. Not to mention all the...other stuff that she'd heard, which made her cry harder and hurt deeper.
"Henry..." Jasper looked to his best friend as he tried to water Omar. The plant needed care, but it was fussy about who got to give that care. Normally, it was (y/n), who was no longer afraid of the flytrap's snappy attitude, but she was currently slumped on the floor with her face pressed into her knees. Let's just say that she needed some space.
"Yeah?" The boy broke out of his deep pondering and looked at his two friends, both of whom had a problem on very different levels.
"This plant's intimidating me." Jasper pouted, but his friend didn't care. His job was on the line and everything he'd been pushing (y/n) and Ray towards for nearly two years was in tatters. He needed to think, not worry about plants.
"Dude, we got way bigger problems right now than...plant thirst." He stressed, making the young woman look up at him as he stopped in front of her and gestured his arm to her depressed state. She looked terrible, with bags under her red eyes and crumpled pyjamas, anyone would be able to tell she was mourning something or someone dear to her.
"I mean, why would Ray wanna marry a lady he's only known for three hours?" Henry asked Jasper, and a stab of pain went through the woman's heart at the reminder.
"Rub it in, why don't you?" She sniffed and got to her feet. She was still miserable, but the floor was cold and it just made her look desperate. She was allowed to be a little desperate though, she was hurting bad.
"Maybe she has a trampoline," Jasper suggested, making Henry and (y/n) look at him with annoyed expressions. That wasn't very helpful. Even Omar wasn't impressed, but then again, he rarely was.
~In the Man Cave~
"No, I love you more. I do too. No, I love you more than you love me. Oh, I think I do." Ray smiled as he told Gwen the sickly sweet words over the phone and shuffled along the couch. Everything she did, even if it was nothing made his heart race and his brain turn to mush, which was hard for Charlotte and Schwoz to watch as they tinkered with a machine.
"All right, he's about to make me puke," Charlotte grumbled to Schwoz as she listened to his ridiculous drivel. She took back every gag and eye roll she ever made at how lovey-dovey Ray and (y/n) were together since they were meant to be. This was just revolting, over-the-top trash talk.
"No, I love you more." Ray continued to giggle and coo down the phone and Schwoz knew he needed to get to the bottom of this fast before (y/n) walked out and Ray made the biggest mistake of his life.
"What's that?" Charlotte asked as she saw him charge up a gun-like gadget that she'd never seen before.
"We can use this to find out why Ray fell in love with that woman so quickly. I will die before I see Ray lose (y/n)." Schwoz told the young girl gravely and she got the sentiment. She'd known them for only a small fraction of their friendship, but Schwoz? He'd seen it all; from their first meeting to their first fight and make-up, he'd watched them fall in love and he was going to see them together, even if it killed him.
"But how can--" Charlotte was confused as to how it worked, but there was time for questions later. Schwoz shushed her as Ray left himself open for the small man to blast him.
"Ray! Ray, come quick to me!" Schwoz called him in a sing-song voice, and even though he didn't want to, Ray said goodbye to his "lovely" Gwen.
"Yeah, I'll see you in a few minutes. I love you. Muah!" He made kissy noises down the phone. and drunkenly stood up from the supercomputer chair where he'd been rambling on the phone for the past few minutes.
"Okay, Schwoz, what was it that you wanted me--" Ray never finished his sentence. As soon as he had tucked his phone back into his back pocket, Schwoz shot his device thing at his face, making him go all wobbly and woozy.
"Charlotte, catch him!" Schwoz told the girl, but she could barely hold up a person of her own weight, let alone Ray, who was all muscle and bulk.
"Me? Ah!" The girl screamed as Ray collapsed on top of her. At least she broke his fall.
"Good job! Now, bring him over to the sofa." Schwoz instructed her and walked off. She couldn't move, she had a huge man crushing her spleen and pinning down her arms. Her job was never easy.
~Upstairs~
"Come on, smile for me..." Jasper encouraged Omar and tried to stroke his foliage, but he just received a face full of goop. Yeah, it was never a good idea to disturb the plant, not that Henry or (y/n) cared. They were still panicking and pacing around as they thought about Ray.
"He globbered me!" Jasper whined, making (y/n) sigh as she and Henry dashed over to help him wipe away the sticky gunk. It was never nice to get it in your eyes and they couldn't leave him to blindly stumble around the store.
"All right, all right, it's not that bad," Henry reassured him as the young woman grabbed some tissues.
"Don't touch your eyes, you'll just rub it in and then it gets really bad." She told Jasper, who swiftly dropped his hands to his side. (y/n) began to clear the goo from each eye and it gave Henry a chance to check up on her. He hadn't done that yet and he felt like she deserved all the support in the world.
"Hey, are you all right?" He asked her softly, taking note of the way she was so gentle and kind to Jasper even though her heart was missing. Even without her love, she still had enough to go around and would never dream of hoarding it to keep herself happy. It reminded Henry that she always took care of everyone else and now, it was their turn to take care of her in her hour of need.
"No, not really." She whispered back, trying not to cry. She was certain that if she started again, she'd never stop and she had to put on her brave face even though she wasn't feeling brave at all.
"What you feelin'?" Jasper asked carefully, making sure to choose his words with meaning. It wasn't a casual "what's up?" or "what's wrong?", it got to the centre of her and what was going on in her mind.
"Oh, you know. I'm feeling depressed because the man I've loved for nearly all of the nine years I've known him has promised himself to a stranger. I'm angry because she's everything I could never be and...I'm scared." She muttered the last part as she finished cleaning the last of Omar's puke from Jasper's face and the boys exchanged a worried glance with each other.
"Why?" Henry asked, hating to see such a usually bubbly and cheery woman reduced to a shell of her former self.
"Because where does this leave me? If they do...get married, I can't live here. I'll have to give all this up and move out, 'cause I can't watch Ray build a life with someone who isn't me. And I guarantee I won't be wanted anymore. He's gonna have a wife, why would he want me?" She confessed and gulped as she imagined saying goodbye to Ray for the last time. Surely, this wasn't how it was meant to be.
"We're gonna find out what's wrong with him and then Gwen--" Henry's determined speech was cut off as the devil herself came strolling through the door. Ugh, what did she want?
"Henry. Jasper. Poor little (y/n)..." She smirked as she walked into the store, a box in her freshly manicured hands. God, she was so smug and (y/n) knew that her cocky stare was her way of telling her that she'd won and there was nothing she could do to stop her.
"Hey, Gwen..." Jasper greeted her cautiously, very aware of the thick tension between the two women. Of course, he and Henry were loyal to (y/n), but they didn't want to appear too hostile until they sussed out what she was doing with Ray.
"Uh, Jasper, why don't you go take (y/n) to the bathroom?" Henry suggested to his friend as he eyed Gwen's suspicious movements. He needed some alone time with her to assess what she was up to.
"Because I'm a grown woman and I can go by myself?" (y/n) replied for Jasper, thinking that Henry was completely crazy. Like she needed an escort to go pee, she wasn't that sad.
"Then go into the bathroom and show him your Celine Dion playlist," Henry told her tightly and she got the message that he wanted them gone for a moment.
"All right, but first..." She agreed, but she had one thing to say to this emo barbie bitch before she went.
"I don't know what your game is, Gwen, but you won't win." She told the smirking woman, who puffed out her chest and looked at her like she was a child in need of a good scolding. Still, (y/n) stood her ground and kept hold of her courage, even though she was still feeling weak with sadness.
"Oh, sweet, sweet girl. I've already won." Gwen hissed at her sharply, making the helper growl at the use of Ray's nickname for her. If she wanted a war, she could have one. (y/n) had nothing left to lose and she was too broken to care what anyone thought about her.
"I don't know how much Ray has told you, but...you can't hurt me. Not anymore, no one can." She told her rival in a low, serious voice before turning around and marching to the back room with Jasper in tow. It was true, no one could hurt her, she had moved past being a jumpy, mousy girl who was scared of her own shadow and was now a superhero of all things. However, there was one man who still had a grip on her heart and he was the one holding her together. But, his grip was loosening and she was at the point of falling if someone didn't wake him up soon.
"Y'know...Henry. I got the feeling last night that you don't want me to marry your friend, Ray." Gwen started as soon as (y/n) and Jasper were out of earshot. She didn't want that good-for-nothing superhero bitch coming in with her superpowers and ruining her plans.
"Well, I'm glad that you got that feeling, 'cause the feeling is exactly what I want your feeling to be. Ya feelin' me?" Henry sassed her in an agitated tone, wishing to communicate all of his hate for the woman to her.
"I'm sorry, one more time?" She smirked, wanting to keep control of the situation by making Henry unsure of himself and what he was saying. She was sneaky that way.
"No, I'm sorry, 'cause I don't repeat stuff." Henry snapped back. He wasn't going to let her have the upper hand, no way. He wasn't afraid of her or how she was using Ray to get her own way, in fact, he was sure he could beat her.
~Back in the Man Cave~
After a lot of pain and struggling, Charlotte had finally managed to get Ray on the couch so he could sleep through his unconsciousness.
"What are you doing?" She asked Schwoz in an exhausted voice, who had rapidly jogged over with some weird helmet scanner thing so he could slide it onto Ray's head. Yeah, he got the easy job.
"I am connecting this device to Ray's brain, and converting his cerebral memory impulses into audio and video images, so we can see his memories from yesterday when he first met the lady," Schwoz explained, his mouth turning into a nauseated sneer at the thought of Gwen.
"When he first met the lady." Charlotte mimicked his funny voice, but she too had a sickened expression. Everyone hated Gwen and everyone was going to make sure she left. The girl looked at the screen with Schwoz and he pulled a lever, making his brain scanner flicker to life as it began to read Ray's mind. It was all a bit too complicated for Charlotte, but she tried to keep up where she could and soon, they'd found the right memory.
"Hey, you there!"
"Me?"
"What are you doing with that glowing blob?"
"Uh, nothing."
"That's a lie, I think you're a criminal."
"Are you...hungry?"
"Uhhh..." Schwoz and Charlotte watched in horror as they saw what had unfolded the previous night. Gwen must have tricked Ray or hypnotised him or something because he'd never give up his secrets and love for her and they weren't the only ones who knew that.
~Meanwhile, upstairs~
In the store, Henry was giving the woman a piece of his mind. He didn't trust her and for good reason, she was evil and up to no good, not that he knew the extent of it.
"I know Ray and there's no way that he'd meet you, and then ask you to marry him on the same day, unless you--unless you did something. Because I know and everyone else knows that Ray loves (y/n) and belongs with her." Henry hissed at her and that's when Gwen opened her Tupperware box. She knew that Captain Man and Kid Danger were too resilient to her charms in their own minds, so she had to unleash her secret weapon.
"Y'know Henry...I was hoping that we could be friends. But now...I'm sorry that I made you these muffins." Gwen showed him the baked goods and the sickly sweet smell rising from them tickled Henry's nose.
"M-Muffins?!" He looked at her in confusion. He didn't trust this woman or anything she gave him, but those muffins sure looked good...
~Back in the Man Cave~
"Mmmm, yeah, that's really good. That's a really good muffin..." Charlotte and Schwoz continued to watch what had happened to Ray and they learnt that everything was fine until Gwen gave him a muffin. Wait a second...
"Captain Man?"
"Yeah?
"May I kiss you?" The sneaky woman. Ray never turned down a kiss from a pretty female begging for his attention. He had always told himself that one day, he might find someone who could distract his heart from the pain of not having (y/n) and Gwen was just another chick in line. Her kiss was nothing compared to the one he'd shared with his sweet girl, nothing ever was, but little did he know, this poison touch was about to steal him away from his love, possibly forever.
"Uhhhh...wuhhh...I like someone elseee...." Ray was powerless to stop her and his protests died where they stood when Gwen planted a gentle yet revolting kiss on the hero's lips. Schwoz didn't want Charlotte to see that so he put his hand over her eyes, which annoyed the girl. She didn't want to miss a thing; any detail could be crucial in helping their friend get back to normal.
"Now, Captain Man, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Y-Yeah, I...I love you." What? Schwoz and Charlotte were flabbergasted at this revelation.
"That's right and you always will, so forget that silly girl in your head and love me." Schwoz puffed out his cheeks and ended the simulation as he and the teen girl reeled from the revelation.
"The muffin!" Charlotte cried as she realised what had happened. Ray was perfectly fine until he ate the muffin!
"Yes!...What?" Schwoz wasn't following. He hadn't been paying as much attention as Charlotte and he couldn't make the connection between Ray and Gwen's muffin.
"Gwen did something to the muffin! Like...she must've added some sort of chemical or something and it made Ray fall in love with her when she kissed him!" Charlotte theorised, knowing that she was along the right lines. Gwen was evil and they had to stop her.
Suddenly, the secret door opened and out came (y/n) and Jasper, both singing to Celine Dion. The boy had taken the long way around to the Man Cave and had used every trick in his goofy body to cheer her up, which it had worked to an extent.
"Nearrrrrr, farrrrrr, whereeverrrr youuu are, I believeeee that the heart doessss go onnnn!" (y/n) sang with Jasper, not caring if she was off-key or offbeat. She was playing her sad playlist and she needed to rock out. Plus, if Celine was right, she'd come back from her heartache, yeah right.
"Jasper? (y/n)?" Charlotte walked towards them in confusion as the young woman muted the blaring music coming from her phone.
"Hey, what's up?" Jasper greeted her as (y/n) brushed some of her messy hair away from her face. Maybe getting a shower and getting dressed would be a good idea.
"Are you feeling better, (y/n)?" Schwoz looked conflicted. He was glad she wasn't sobbing uncontrollably anymore, but he also didn't want her to leave prematurely. If only he knew how cut up she was inside.
"Eh. I still feel like shit and I'm eighty-seven per cent sure I'm going to be homeless soon, but at least I've got Celine." She offered him a sad smile and it told him everything he needed to know. She wasn't feeling better, if anything she was feeling worse after having all night to think about what Ray "getting married" meant for her.
"I thought you guys were upstairs in Junk-N-Stuff with Henry," Charlotte told them, sensing that something was off.
"Oh, we were, but Henry wanted to talk to Gwen, so we went to the--" Jasper tried to explain, but the moment he mentioned that cursed name, Charlotte and Schwoz started to panic.
"Gwen??" The teen girl cried, feeling like Henry could be in a lot of danger.
"Oh, geez." Schwoz gasped, also getting the sense that something nasty was going on upstairs.
"Come on!" The small man and girl ran to the elevator and, not wanting to be left behind, Jasper and (y/n) were hot on their heels.
"Wait for us!" The young woman exclaimed as she and Jasper slid across the cold floor. She knew Gwen was a thieving, bitchy skank, but why were they so concerned about Henry? What was going on?
~In Junk-N-Stuff~
Henry couldn't resist the temptation of a freshly-baked muffin, even if it had been made by a woman who was now considered to be an enemy.
"Oh man, what is this, banana nut? This a banana nut muffin?" He asked the smirking woman as the spongy cake tingled his tastebuds. Little did he know that the muffin wasn't a baked good, it was a baked bad.
"Henry, don't swallow that muffin!" Charlotte burst onto the shop floor with an exuberant worry in her voice and Schwoz, Jasper and (y/n) weren't far behind her.
"W-What--stop--ah!" Henry protested as Charlotte reached into his mouth and began to pick the crumbs out of his mouth. Yeah, it was gross to remove the gooey, half-chewed muffin but needs must and Henry couldn't be allowed to eat it.
"Henry, it's dangerous!" She tried to tell him, but Henry was instinctively fighting against the attack. Desperate time called for desperate measures.
"Use my handheld vacuum cleaner!" (y/n) passed her small device to Charlotte as she glared at Gwen. She didn't understand the full picture but she was getting the idea that this was her doing.
"Okay, out of your mouth! Henry!" Charlotte begged her friend as she sucked the muffin out, but Gwen wasn't going to let a child ruin her plans.
"Hey! Let him eat the muffin!" She yelled at Charlotte and it awoke (y/n)'s fury. This woman had come in and wrecked her life, she wasn't going to let her bully her friends.
"Back off, bitch!" She hissed back and Gwen and Charlotte engaged in a tug of war with Henry's body. They yanked him back and forth, back and forth until Henry pulled himself free of their grasps and staggered back. He tripped into a display and a large bust toppled over and onto his head, knocking the boy out.
"Oh my god!" Charlotte gasped as her friend collapsed on the floor and before (y/n) could dish out her first-aid expertise, Jasper thrusted himself forward and offered his knowledge instead.
"I know mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!" He announced and swiftly shrugged off his jacket as he rushed to Henry's side, even though the kiss of life wouldn't help him. He was unconscious, not suffocating.
"I need to kiss him!" Gwen grabbed his shoulders and tried to force him away, but Jasper was stronger than he looked and (y/n) was ready to kick her ass.
"He's my best friend!" Jasper hissed to her and prised her fingers off of him just as (y/n) stepped forward to sort her out. Drawing her fist back, she sent a sharp punch to Gwen's jaw, sending the woman stumbling back in a painful daze.
"Sit down, shut up!" She hissed to her, ignoring the throbbing in her knuckles. It soothed quickly as the swelling disappeared instantly and if Gwen dared make a noise, she was more than happy to give her some more.
Taking a deep breath, Jasper pressed his lips to Henry's and blew all the air in his lungs into his mouth. Henry gasped into consciousness and slowly lifted his head to see his friends looking at him in concern.
"Quick, help him up!" (y/n) told Jasper and Schwoz stepped forward to help the couching boy to his feet. The world was spinning and his brain was fuzzy as the boys helped to keep him steady.
"Hen, Hen, are you okay?"Jasper asked him in concern and he was taken aback by the loving gaze his best friend sent his way.
"I...I love you." Henry smiled at his newfound love, but Jasper didn't think he meant it in anything but a platonic way.
"Oh shit." (y/n) breathed out as Jasper realised that Henry wasn't joking. Okay, seeing Henry in love with him was weird and made him uncomfortable, especially when Henry latched onto him in a tight embrace.
"Hey, quit it! No, Henry--This is not a good time to hug." Jasper struggled to get him off. When Henry wanted to hug he was like an octopus, hands everywhere.
"Henry, leave Curly alone." (y/n) tried to get him off, but no one could make him let go of Jasper. He loved him.
"Aw, you have pretty hair." The mention of Jasper's nickname switched Henry's attention and the blond boy started to pet Jasper's curls affectionately, much like how he had seen Ray do it to (y/n) when they were cuddling.
"Henry!" Charlotte shouted at her friend, but she had to face Gwen's wrath first.
"Great, see what you did?" She hissed at the girl, making (y/n) step in front of Charlotte protectively, even though she was more than happy to yell back.
"What I did?!" Charlotte reiterated in anger, not believing the nerve of the woman. She was the evil one, not her.
"Yeah!" Gwen growled, standing against the two girls, who were not afraid of a fight. They knew that they were in the right and she was in the wrong.
"We're not the ones who's been boppin' round here with a box of mystical muffins!" Charlotte argued, keeping a hand on (y/n)'s arm so she didn't lunge for Gwen. She hated her too and she would love nothing more than to see her friend give her what she deserved, but this wasn't the time for that.
"You little bitch, watch your step..." Gwen sneered and Charlotte had to take a step back to calm her nerves. She didn't want to fight either because she'd never win against a grown woman. However, luckily for her, she had a superhero on her side.
"Do you want another one? 'Cause I'll gladly beat your ass--" (y/n)'s threat was interrupted as her best friend appeared from the back, stopping her fist in the air. Dammit, why did he have to show up now?
"Gwen! I was just dreaming about the first time we met!" Ray cooed as he floated across the store and joined hands with Gwen, who was smirking at (y/n). The young woman instantly dropped her anger and reverted to her sad, reclusive self as she saw Ray go to her with a lovestruck smile.
"Hello, my sweet man." The criminal brushed his hair away from his eyes and looked at the Man Cave team with a smug smirk. She wanted them to know that she had their leader wrapped around her finger, especially since it rendered Miss Danger depressed and non-dangerous.
"Ray, no!" Charlotte tried to stop him as she and Schwoz saw the way (y/n) lost all her confidence at the sight of Ray loving another.
"Quit--quit it!" Jasper slapped away Henry's hands as he had a different problem with love. Mainly that his best friend was acting crazy and wouldn't leave him alone.
"I can't quit you!" Henry replied in a cute baby voice and wrapped Jasper in another unwanted hug.
"Ray, you don't really love her!" Charlotte tried again to get her boss away from that witch, but he was under her spell and couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Ray, she gave you a bad muffin that--" Even Schwoz couldn't get through to him and when he stood in between the couple, Ray just kept him sandwiched between them as he leaned over his head.
"She tricked you!" Charlotte yelled as (y/n) watched the scene with sad eyes. What had she done to deserve pain like this? If this was love, why did it hurt so much?
"Yah and she tried to do it to Henry too!" Schwoz gasped as he freed himself from the Ray-Gwen sandwich.
"Except Henry fell in love with Jasper by mistake!" The teen girl pointed to the best friends, where Jasper was still fighting off Henry's advances.
"Aw, my sweet girl's so smart!" Ray cooed, shattering the few remains of (y/n)'s heart that had somehow managed to keep beating. That was his name for her, no one else's and to hear it be used on someone else, someone who didn't deserve his love, was agonising.
"Can you please make all of these people leave so we can be alone?" Gwen trailed her finger up Ray's chest as Schowz and Charlotte frowned at her. She knew what she was doing, using Ray against them and it made them furious.
"All right, everybody out!" He shouted at all his friends, who still couldn't believe that he was following her every order. Still, the muffins made people do anything and they realised that this wasn't his fault. Gwen was the one to blame.
"Come on, let's go!" He started to push them away as they protested, but he wasn't taking no for an answer. What Gwen wanted, Gwen would get.
"Ray, we live here, you have no right to force us out!" (y/n) tried to fight him off, but he just kept pushing her, Charlotte, Schwoz, Henry and jasper out of the door.
"I don't want you here," Ray told her in a cold voice and suddenly, she stopped fighting. Those were the words she'd never wanted to hear coming from him and they'd only appeared in her worst nightmares. Now, they'd come to life.
"Hate to see ya go, but go! Bye-bye!" Gwen smirked at them as the last of her problems were forced out of the store. Good, with (y/n) out of the way, Ray had no hope of regaining his mind, meaning he was all hers.
~Henry's house~
The gang trudged up to Henry's porch, feeling defeated. (y/n) didn't have the energy left to cry or care about the weird looks she had received for wearing pyjamas in the middle of the afternoon on the street, she just felt numb. If she didn't belong in the Man Cave anymore, where did she belong?
"No--no--nope, stop it!" Jasper told Henry squished him against the front door when he tried to open it. All the way from the shop, he'd been snuggling and squeezing him and he'd had enough.
"I love you." He slurred and Jasper opened the door as quickly as possible. They all tumbled in, well, everyone apart from Schwoz did, who was barred from entry by Charlotte.
"Whoa, you can't come in." She told him and was met by a grumpy Schwoz.
"Why can't I go in there?" he. grumbled, wanting to sit with his friends and help the young woman through her grief. He also didn't want to stand out in the cold like a weirdo loitering on someone's porch.
"'Cause, what if Henry's parents are home?" Charlotte suggested, knowing that they'd be horrified to find a weird little foreign man in their house, even if he did work with their son.
"(y/n) is allowed in there!" He pointed to the young woman, who was trudging behind Jasper and a dumb-in-love Henry.
"That's because Henry's parents know her and are cool with her," Charlotte explained, which made Schwoz pout even more.
"But I can't stay out of here by myself!" He whined, but the young girl knew he'd be fine. No one was gonna want to kidnap him and take him home, it was Schwoz.
"Sure you can." She replied.
"No! What if someone tries to take me?" He suggested, but it just made the girl roll her eyes.
"Who would want you?" She sassed, leaving Schwoz speechless. Taking advantage of his silence, she slammed the door in his face and went over to her friends. Jasper was trying to comfort (y/n) as she curled up on the sofa and buried her face into a cushion, but there was little he could do.
"Tell me why Gwen would use tainted muffins to make Ray fall in love with her." The curly-haired boy said to his friend as he put a hand on (y/n)'s shoulder and Henry was walking around the kitchen in love haze.
"'Cause think about it. If Captain Man and Kid Danger are so in love that they can't fight crime, then they can't stop Gwen from doing whatever evil things she wants to do!" Charlotte explained, making (y/n) look up as she pondered the idea.
"What about (y/n)? She's a superhero." Jasper noted, gesturing to the pyjama-clad girl.
"Gwen probably knows that Ray means a lot to her! So she's just going off the hope that (y/n) will be too sad to stop her from doing the evil things!" Charlotte added and the woman sat up with fire in her eyes.
"You got to admit, that bitch is clever." She sighed, snapping herself out of her sadness. She was still shaken, but she wasn't going to let Gwen beat her so easily. Ray needed her help and she was going to fight until her last breath to give it to him.
Okay then, I think we need to figure out how--how--ooo..." Jasper trailed off as Henry sat on the back of the couch and rubbed his shoulders lovingly. Even Jasper couldn't resist the pull of the gorgeous massage Henry was giving him, even though he hated how he was in love with him.
"JASPERRRR!" A loud, obnoxious voice came from the stairs and suddenly, Piper was trotting down the stairs in a foul mood.
"Oh, hey, Piper." He greeted the girl nervously, hoping that she wasn't angry about what he thought she was angry about.
"Did you go into my bathroom and take my curling iron?!" She snapped at the boy, who paled at her fury. He just wanted beautiful, curly locks, was that too much to ask for?
"Yeah, but I---" Jasper didn't need to defend himself, he had a best friend who was deeply in love with him and more than happy to bite back.
"Hey! Don't you yell at my Jasper!" Henry seethed at his sister, making his friends cringe at his odd choice of words.
"He jacked my girly-curly!" Piper hissed back. She was always ready for an argument, especially if she felt that she'd been wronged in some way. Stepping forward, she plucked two clumps of Jasper's eyelashes from his face as punishment for stealing her curling wand.
"Ow! She yanked off my eyelashes!" Jasper whined and turned to (y/n) so she could assess the damage. There wasn't much she could do, it would just sting for a few minutes, but Henry, well, he was seeing red.
"Piper! You just hurt someone I love!" The boy told her in a heartbroken, disgusted voice, but Piper wasn't done.
"Yeah, and I'm just getting started!" She growled and began to flick Jasper in the eyes as he groaned and moaned in pain.
"No, stop!" He begged, but she was too angry. She wanted him to feel pain.
"Piper, stop!" Henry yelled at her, feeling his fury grow and the lovey-dovey haze in his eyes was descending from a sweet pink colour into a deadly scarlet.
"Piper, quit that! No! No! Nooooo!" Henry reached his tipping point as his sister used her surprising strength to launch Jasper over the couch, which left him groaning in pain.
"Henry, oh my god! Are you okay?" (y/n) asked the teen as she noticed him convulsing and straining until he fell on the floor. Okay, what was going on?
"You okay?" Charlotte asked him too as Piper made herself scarce. Her work here was done, Jasper would never touch her stuff again. The girl and woman helped Henry to his feet and he blinked in confusion as his mind cleared.
"Ah, yeah. Yeah, I think so." He said in a tired voice and Jasper approached him cautiously when his best friend looked at him.
"No more hugging me, please." He begged Henry, whose face crumpled in disgust. Why would he want to do that?
"Hugging you? Ew." He gagged and his friends looked at each other in shock. The expression on Henry's face told them that he'd rather eat his own hand than give his friend a hug and that spoke volumes to them.
"Ewwww? Wait! Aren't you in love with Jasper?" Charlotte asked Henry as he rubbed his eyes and she waited for the response she was hoping for.
"In love with--what?! No, no!" The boy quickly denied it, much to the amazement of (y/n), Jasper and Charlotte.
"Holy shit, this is awesome!" The young woman breathed out as she smiled at Henry, even though he was still feeling pretty groggy.
"What is? How come Henry doesn't love me anymore?" Jasper whined. Sure, it was weird as hell to see his best friend look at him like that, but those shoulder rubs were nice.
"I think 'cause Piper when was harassing you, it made Henry feel really angry." Charlotte prompted and (y/n) suddenly knew what she was getting at.
"So?" Henry asked, still feeling puzzled after losing the effects from the muffin.
"So, when you feel strong emotions, your body releases chemicals into your brain." (y/n) explained and Jasper used her knowledge to piece everything together.
"Ohhh, so like, when Henry felt anger, it drove out his feelings of love?" Jasper theorised and he was bang on with his idea. The anger took over the love and then pushed it away, simple.
"Yeah, we think that's what happened.' Charlotte looked to (y/n) and she nodded in confirmation. It sounded plausible, now, they just needed to try it out on Ray.
"Okay, okay, so now, all we gotta do is make Ray like, insanely mad, so he'll fall out of love with Gwen," Henry said and they all knew that it was easier said than done.
"Well, but, how are we gonna get him mad enough?" Charlotte asked, but then the perfect person for the job popped into her mind and Henry's and Jasper's, as it happened.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" (y/n) asked as she saw three pairs of eyes on her and it made her skin prickle. Yeah, she knew how to make Ray tick but she didn't know if she wanted to see him like that, especially when it was directed at her.
"'Cause you know Ray better than anyone, you can get him mad," Henry told her. She knew everything about Ray, every wrinkle that made him seethe and scream, surely, she could think of something that could rile him up.
"Okay, but how should I do it? I can't just strike up a conversation with him, he can't hear me through his love dream thing, otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation." (y/n) pointed out and they all took a minute to think. If a conversation wouldn't work, then they needed to up the ante.
"Ooo, you could pick a fight with him," Jasper suggested and everyone liked that idea.
"Yes." Henry nodded at his best friend as (y/n) started to plan what she'd say to her best friend. Of course, some obvious topics always upset him, but she had some other ideas too bouncing around her mind that could throw a spanner in the works. She hated to see him sad, but it was worth it because it was for his own good.
"Okay, I go in there, I start an argument and get him mad. Easy." (y/n) smiled at the boys, ready to get her friend and heart back, but Charlotte had some apprehension towards the plan.
"Oh, come on! Ray could kill you! You can't pick a fight with Ray!" The young girl reminded her of Ray's brutal strength and the worry in her eyes melted (y/n)'s heart. It was nice to have her friend's care and concern, but this was the only way.
"Char, one of us has to do it and I've got my super-regeneration so--" She tried to calm the girl, but she wasn't done.
"It might not be enough...If Ray loses his temper, there's no knowing what he'll do to you." She said softly and the woman knew she was right. Captain Man's strength was legendary and if unleashed against her small body, her power might not be able to keep up with a vicious attack.
"We don't have a choice. If it's not me, then it's got to be one of you three." She looked at the kids and Charlotte and Jasper immediately put their hands up.
"Not it!" They said together, effectively naming Henry as the backup option.
"Well, if I die, you're up next, Hen." (y/n) giggled at the young boy, but he was ready to step up if he had to. He'd probably survive slightly longer than Jasper and Charlotte if Ray started to throw him around the room.
"Then, let's go." Charlotte accepted their fates and they walked to the door. Poor Schwoz had been jumped by a group of mean kids and was being beaten on the ground when they opened the door. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave him alone.
"Hey, hey, hey! Get outta here!"
"Leave him alone!"
"Pick on someone your own size!"
"Delinquents!" The four yelled at the kids and they quickly scarpered when the group appeared. They were smart enough to know when they were outnumbered, but clearly not smart enough to know that bullying people wasn't cool.
"Jerks!" Schwoz yelled after them with a grouchy face and threw a twig at the kids' retreating bodies. He missed by a mile, but it made him feel better; he couldn't help it if he was an easy target for a pack of bullies.
"Come on, let's get to the Man Cave!" Henry said to his friends and they all briskly walked off the porch as Schwoz collected his shoes that the children had removed. Poor guy, he always got the short end of the stick.
~In the Man Cave~
So listening to Ray and Gwen makeout was one of the hardest things (y/n) ever had to do. She and Henry were hiding behind a machine at the back of the room as they waited for Ray to be alone and with the noise of smacking lips in her ears, it felt like forever.
"Ugh, this is revolting." She grumbled to the boy as they kneeled in the corner. Her voice was low and her knees were cold, but they couldn't risk being spotted by that evil witch. That would ruin the plan and then they'd be back at square one.
"Shhh, it's all right. You know, he doesn't mean it." Henry reminded her that Ray wasn't in his right mind and (y/n) nodded with a sigh. Right, he didn't know what he was doing, but she was still stuck in the friendzone either way. She was his friend, nothing more.
"I know, I know, but it's still gross. All she uses is tongue." (y/n) shuddered, but suddenly, Henry grabbed her shoulder and peeked around the corner of the machinery.
"Look! She's leaving!" He told her and he was right. Gwen said something about robbing the Swellview Bank and then she was off through the sprocket, probably going to freshen up in Ray's room or leave a mousetrap in (y/n)'s bed. Either way, she was up to no good, but it gave them the opportunity they needed.
"Oh god, oh god, wish me luck." She breathed to the kid and stepped out from their hiding place. It was now or never with all her courage mustered.
"Soooo...Charlotte?" She started, following the plan they had come up with and upon hearing her cue, the girl sprung from behind the cabinet next to the elevator.
"Yeah, (y/n/n)?" The girl asked politely and innocently as she walked down from the tubes. Ray looked at them like they were insane but they kept going as per the plan.
"Who do you think should win the "Most Attractive Guy in Swellview"?" (y/n) asked the girl, starting off with a small irritating thing that would no doubt get under Ray's skin.
""Most Attractive guy in Swellview"?" She reiterated, making sure that Ray heard what they were talking about. This was sure to make him mad, even if it was just a starting point.
"Yeah, who do you think should win it?" (y/n) asked again, keeping her focus on her young friend so she wouldn't falter.
"Uh...." Charlotte held off for a minute and that's when Jasper stood up from behind the couch to say his line.
"Hey, what about Henry's dad?" He prompted, irritating Ray a bit. He had the worst hiding place and had nearly puked when he heard the couple kissing and slobbering over each other. Next, came Henry, who trotted down from the same place (y/n) did, with an innocent look on his face.
"Oh, yeah, my dad." He agreed and he and Jasper walked over to the girls. So far, so good.
"Yah, your dad is so hot," Schwoz added, springing up from the supercomputer. Okay, they were all assembled and now, they just had to set (y/n) up for the kill.
"Uh-huh, very true, I think he's gorgeous, a very attractive man." The young woman lied to her friends and they all heartily agreed, which struck a chord with Ray. Wait, why did his best friend liking another guy get to him so much? Through his Gwen mindset, the notion pierced his heart and was like the first droplet that would start the tsunami of rage and free him.
"Wait, wait, wait a second, you guys." He interrupted their happy chatter as he tried to make sense of his jealousy. Gwen, Gwen, Gwen, was all his brain was supposed to be loving so why was (y/n) suddenly creeping into his thoughts?
"Yeah?"
"What's up, buddy?" They all looked at him with friendly faces, but they could all see the first signs of exasperation on his face. Oh good, they were getting to him.
"Just a friendly reminder, I've won "Most Attractive Guy in Swellview" for the past twelve years, sooo...it's kinda in the bag." Ray bragged, not knowing that he was falling right into their trap. This was exactly what (y/n) had predicted and with a nod from the teens, she moved into phase two.
"Well, yeah, but...you're kinda old now, so...not much point in hoping." (y/n) smiled at him, gulping when she said the "o-word" and saw how his face dropped. Ray's age was a touchy subject; he hated that despite all his power and fame, even he couldn't escape time. He was slowly getting older and older with each passing day.
"I'm old?" He repeated, thinking he'd misheard her. Schwoz, Henry, Charlotte and Jasper were tight-lipped as they watched the couple go toe-to-toe. They were nervous, but they trusted her to get the job done and hopefully, Ray would remember how much he loved her before he started throwing fists.
"Yeah, I mean, you're so much older than me. What are you, like, over fifty?" She asked, deliberately exaggerating her estimation for maximum anger. She knew Ray's exact age like she knew her own, but she had to be cruel to be kind.
"Fif--did you just use the f-word?" Ray gawped at her in shock, thinking that his best friend was way out of order, but she just smirked and laughed in his face. 'Gwen, no, (y/n), Gwen, but (y/n)'s so pretty, no, I...love Gwen?' His mind was at war and the young woman was making it worse.
"Hey, look, I'm just saying that--" She laughed it off, but Ray was in arguing mode now.
"I'm thirty-five, (y/n). You know that." He said and patted her bare arms. She was so getting dressed after this was done. Not knowing how to carry on after that, she turned around and saw Jasper, Henry and Charlotte pointing to their hair and she got the message. Good idea.
"Well, I mean, I've noticed that you're starting to lose your hair a bit..." She told him and Ray whipped around with an angry face. 'Don't be scared, don't be scared.' She told herself and kept her expression light-hearted and disparaging.
"What did you just say to me?" He growled at her and seeing that he was sufficiently angry, she moved onto phase three.
"Oh hey, where's Gwen?" She asked innocently, but also like she was hiding something. She played off her mocking tone by looking around the room for the evil woman and Ray glared daggers at her back.
"Gwen happens to be getting ready to go rob a bank." He informed her and she nodded in understanding. This one would really get to him.
"Or...maybe she's not going to rob a bank. Maybe, and I'm just throwing this out there, she's going to meet some other guy." She suggested and sat down on the computer chair with her arms folded and one leg crossed over the other. It was a horrible thing to suggest, but it didn't matter, it wasn't real love anyway.
"She's going to rob a bank," Ray hissed in a childish voice, but the young woman had planted the seed of doubt in his mind and it was festering into a furious rampage. Much like what Henry had experienced, the pink love dream was fading into red as Ray succumbed to his anger.
"Or maybe...she's going to meet some guy named Rob...Banks." (y/n) hinted, a look of amusement on her face just so she could watch Ray get angry at her bemused attitude.
"That's stupid. That's not a guy's name." He frowned, saying it more to himself than anyone else. Hey, since when was (y/n) so beautiful with grubby pyjamas and messy hair?
"Uh, yeah it is. Get real, doofus. Gwen doesn't want you, she wants Robert J. Banks." She taunted him, following closely behind him as he stomped away from the computer. She wasn't going to let him escape and neither were the kids or Schwoz. They had the exits covered, Ray couldn't go anywhere. It was just him, (y/n) and their argument.
"Y'know why? I bet he's way better-looking than you." She hissed in his ear, standing her tiptoes so she could say it in a malicious whisper. Ray was tensed in anger and his skin shivered at the feeling of her breath on his ear; why was she so alluring all of sudden? Gwen...
"Not possible." He shouted in response as the love chemical fought to keep control of his brain. However, his real love was stronger and it was a battle that would surely be won by his heart.
"Yep. He's probably in his early thirties, y'know, young and handsome." She snapped back in a strong voice, daring him to get even angrier.
"That's enough, (y/l/n)," Ray ordered her, not liking this new insubordination from his best friend. How dare she question Gwen's love for him? But damn, she was hot when she was angry...
"Yeah, he's gonna kiss her so good, because why would she want you? A middle-aged, unattractive nobody who sucks at kissing! And trust me, I know! I've had experience and it was terrible, why would anybody want you?" She ranted, spewing cruel lies left, right and centre and the small part of his brain that was free turned furious at the thought of losing his soulmate over being a bad kisser, the girl he'd dreamed of kissing ever since they shared one and it was the final straw for Ray.
"Ahhhhh!" He yelled and lunged for her, grabbing her by the shoulders and the thin straps of her pyjama vest.
"Oh shit!" She squealed as Ray used his brute strength to throw her across the room, making her land harshly by the elevator. Her friends cringed as her ankles collided with a cabinet and she had to admit, that hurt. She took a few seconds to give her body the chance to repair her sprained ankle and numerous cuts, bruises and lumps. Okay, she had to keep going.
"Look, Ray, it's not my fault she likes younger guys." She panted and scrambled to her feet as Ray stormed towards her again. Ray seized her by the throat and she gulped at the fury in his eyes. Fury was good but it also was cutting off her air supply and crushing her windpipe.
"Oh, wow, look at that! A grey hair! Wow, there's loads, you're going grey, Raymond!" She smirked and ran her fingers through his hair even though movement made the burning of her lungs worse.
Not wanting to be mocked anymore, she was thrown to the floor again as Ray growled in rage. At least this time, all she had to heal was some bruised palms and a cracked larynx. She groaned as she laid at the teens' feet, but she couldn't say down for long.
"Keep going, you gotta make him madder!" Charlotte knelt beside her head and Henry agreed. Ray was mad, but he wasn't mad enough.
"Don't you think I'm working on that?---Whoaaa!" She was dragged away by her ankles as Ray continued to beat her up. The irritation of the tiles on her belly made small friction burns appear where her tank-top rode up, but that was the least of her worries. Dragging her to her feet again by her hair, Ray forced her to the ground again, so her battered body slid across the room. Okay, she really wanted this to stop now. Time to get clever.
"Come on, hard man, you ain't so bad! Come get me, dickhead!" She jeered at him and this time when he went to grab her throat, she ducked out the way and went to jump on his back. Ray was too experienced for that rookie move though and threw his torso back so she was bashed against the couch.
"This is so cool to watch!" Jasper told her as she bent over the back of the sofa and caught her breath. She'd never put her regeneration through this much suffering and she was starting to get the idea that too much usage could really wear her down.
"Oh, I'm glad you're enjoying my pain." She smiled sarcastically at the boy and patted his shoulder, but Jasper recoiled quickly when Ray came back. He grabbed her shoulders again and pushed her harshly against the steps at the back of the Man Cave, making the young woman wince.
"Oh, that's definitely a broken rib." She yelped, clutching her side in pain, but she had very little time to feel it pop back into shape as Ray charged at her. Raising her leg, she stopped him in his tracks before he could swipe at her and she pushed him back.
"She probably makes muffins for all the guys." She gasped at Ray and got back on her feet even though her body was begging her to do the smart thing and stay down.
"She only makes muffins for me!" Ray screamed at her with a snarling face, but she just gave him the finger and smirked.
"Well, that's not what I heard!" She shrieked back and that's when he lunged at her for the millionth time.
"Oh, god!" She squealed as Ray flipped her over in a somersault and her back flopped roughly on the tiles. Oh good, a slipped disk, how lovely. Yet another injury that her genes rushed to repair as she lay paralysed on the floor.
"(y/n)!" Henry ran to her side with Jasper and Charlotte close behind him. They helped her up when she told them to do so and she panted at the exertion. Blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth and for a brief second, she wondered if it would be better to give up before he killed her. No. She was going to snap him out of Gwen's control or she was going to die trying.
"Uh-oh..." Schwoz's fearful voice made her look to her best friend and her eyes widened as she watched him grab a blaster from a drawer. Shit, she was too close to the others.
"Ray, don't!" Charlotte begged him, but he couldn't stop his rage. Shoving herself away from her friends, (y/n) stood in front of them protectively and stared down the barrel of Ray's gun. She never thought she'd see him point one at her, but it would always be her before her friends, especially the kids.
"You know, Ray, I never thought I'd feel this way about you but I do. I can't help it, it's just been on my mind for a while now..." She started, giving Ray her best glare as she shrugged off the flinch from him cocking the blaster.
"(y/n), don't!" Jasper begged her, not believing she was being so reckless when her best friend had a gun in his hand. Yes, they had to make him angry, but this was too extreme, even for a super-regenerating heroine.
"I'm sorry, Ray, but I hate you!" She told him in an insulting tone and she kept her cool despite her thumping heart. She saw his eyes twinge in recognition as his finger stilled on the trigger and then...he groaned and started to shake.
"I think you did it! It's working!" Charlotte gasped as the young woman trembled and watched her best friend fall to the floor. Thank god, it was over.
"Ray?! Ray?!" Henry, Schwoz, Jasper and Charlotte scrambled to the man's side as she stayed leaning against the couch. She needed a minute.
"Can you hear us?" Charlotte asked him as he was led over to the supercomputer chair. (y/n) stumbled behind the group, trying to keep her nausea down as she tasted the metallic tang of blood on her tongue. She felt exhausted, but her hope was burning bright and that was what was keeping her going.
"Ray, are you okay?" Henry reiterated as his boss puffed in the chair and shook his head from side to side. He felt so groggy and confused, but at the same time, like he'd been set free.
"Ah, what happened?..." He asked his friends as he tried to remember what he'd been doing for the past twenty-four hours. All he could see was his friends crowding around him, well, not all of them, one was holding back.
"...I was in love with a woman, uh...Gwen!" Ray gasped as the woman's evil smirk flashed into his mind. He couldn't describe how it had felt to be controlled, it was like he wanted to stop his actions, but he couldn't. Everything that was him had been shoved aside for the mind-control to take over and he couldn't stop it.
"She gave you a love muffin," Schwoz explained and Ray looked confused. He remembered something about muffins, but things seemed so blurry, he wasn't thinking straight.
"Yeah and then, (y/n) had to make you really mad so your feelings of rage and anger would overpower your muffin-induced feelings of love," Henry recalled and Ray snapped his head to the boy at the mention of his girl. She wasn't with them so...
"(y/n)...where is she?" He demanded to know and Henry and Charlotte looked at each other nervously before parting ways. (y/n) was still stood against the couch, listening to every word. Ray's eyes grew wide from horror as he took in her appearance; her pyjamas were torn and grubby, blood-stained in some areas where she'd suffered a scrape and she still had dark circles under her eyes and dried blood in the corner of her mouth. He stood up rapidly and she offered him a small smile to make him calm down, but he couldn't stop his heart from breaking.
"What...happened?" He asked her as he cautiously stepped towards her and she loosely folded her arms across her tummy. She was still hurting badly from what had happened to her that day. The beating, the sobbing, the prospect of losing her home, but most of all, the fact that she was still just his friend, nothing more, even after everything she'd been through.
"I made you mad and, uh...you, well, got mad." She told him nervously and he choked up. He did this? The blood, the torn clothing, the bags under her eyes, he hurt her?
"I--I did this?" He stuttered, tears springing in his eyes as she sighed kindly. It wasn't his fault, he didn't know what he was doing. She wanted him to get angry and she knew that she'd be hurt. And it wasn't like her physical injuries were permanent, no, they had healed just fine, all that was left was her bleeding heart.
"I'm fine, honestly. Y'know, super-regeneration and stuff. I'll live." She giggled, even though she was feeling anything but humourous.
"Sweet girl, I--" Ray started and his fingers twitched to reach for her cheek, but before he could say something, anything, the sprocket opened and the witch stepped out.
"Quick, guys, go hide! Take care of (y/n)!" Ray turned to his friends and gently guided the young woman into Henry's arms so he could take her to behind the couch. His touch was so tender to what it had been five minutes ago.
"Okay, Ray, I'm about to leave. It should take me about, hmmm...twenty minutes to rob the bank." Gwen told the superhero as she sauntered down the steps. She didn't see any other movement in the room, thankfully and the team tucked themselves into their hiding places.
"Aw, that sounds great." Ray smiled at her, even though the mere sight of her made his stomach churn. God, that must've been a strong muffin to distract his heart from the love he felt for his best friend. She was perfect and Gwen was so...blergh.
"Oh hey, how do you like my ponytail?" The criminal asked him, ruffling her hair up seductively and fluttering her eyelashes at the superhero. There was only one person he wanted to see do that, he was sure of that now.
"Oh...I love it. I mean it's really cute and just so--" Ray brought his hand up to her head with a charming smile on his face. Gwen accepted his touch, but the moment his fingertips got to her hair, he yanked the ponytail clean off.
"You just ripped my ponytail off my head!" Gwen glared at him, but her sneer dropped when she saw how Ray wasn't looking at her with love, he was looking at her with hate.
"You're not in love with me anymore." She gasped and suddenly felt like she was trapped.
"Nope, not anymore, bitch." (y/n) stood up from her hiding place with Henry and Jasper and Gwen gulped when she realised that she was outnumbered. She wasn't in charge anymore.
"Sorry, Gwen," Charlotte smirked as the woman backed up and scanned the room for an escape room. Oh, she was definitely panicking now.
"How'd you like dem muffins?" Jasper quipped, making his friends smirk. Oh, Jasper, he was goofy but loveable.
"And now, Gwen, I'd be honoured to escort you to prison," Ray told her, but she'd planned for this. The first rule of being a criminal: have a backup plan and Gwen's was particularly sneaky. She held up her phone in Ray's face, making everyone step back. What was she planning?
"Look out!"
"She's got a phone!" Jasper cried, holding his hands up like a karate master. Yeah, like he could chop his way out of trouble.
"So, who cares?" (y/n) seethed as she kept her glare fixed on her rival. She would be her greatest enemy for a long time.
"You better care, bitch. Because if I tap right here, it's gonna send a post out telling the whole world that Ray Manchester is Captain Man, Henry Hart is Kid Danger and silly little (y/n) (y/l/n) is Miss Danger." Gwen threatened the three supers as she stepped up to the tubes. Oh, that was evil, the perfect escape plan.
"Anything about me?" Jasper raised his hand and asked. He was curious to see if she had thought of him too, but she didn't care about a stupid teenage boy.
"You let me go, and I'll keep your secret. Deal?" Gwen offered the three and they descended into whispers as they thought about what to do.
"Do we have a deal or don't we?" Gwen demanded harshly, leaving them almost no time to think about their situation. It wasn't really a deal, more of a forced ceasefire.
"Yeah, we've got a deal...for now." Ray hissed at her, seeing no other way to keep himself and his Man Cave family safe.
"But someday, you're going to jail," Henry promised her. He wouldn't rest until he saw that cruel face behind bars for what she had done to his friends.
"I doubt it," Gwen smirked as a tube came down around her. She had the upper hand and she knew it.
"Buh-bye, boys and girls!" She said, expecting to blast off, but of course, the tube wouldn't work unless you said the magic words, which she didn't know.
"Off I go!... Okay, what words do I have to say to activate the tube suckage?" She asked the giggling group, feeling pretty annoyed at how foolish she was appearing.
"Oh yeah...it's uh, diamonds, rubies, lift me...tubies." (y/n) joked, struggling to keep a straight face. She wouldn't believe that, would she?
"Thank you, maybe you're not as stupid and useless as I first thought...Diamonds, rubies, lift me, tubies!" Gwen yelled and everyone burst out laughing as she stayed on her spot. Oh god, that was a good one.
"Oh dear, Gwen. Looks like you're definitely as stupid and useless as I first thought." (y/n) mocked her through her giggles, loving that she was able to get one up on the woman one last time.
"I will tap this button, I swear I will tap it!" Gwen hissed and everyone straightened themselves out. No more joking around, it wasn't worth the risk.
"Uh, just say, up the tube," Charlotte told her reluctantly and Gwen followed her advice. She was gone in a flash and they could only hope that she'd keep her word.
"Whew. This whole thing was insane." Charlotte sighed as they relaxed, although no one noticed how (y/n) had gone quiet. Really quiet.
"Yeah, no kidding." Henry breathed out, glad that it was finally over, even though it wasn't.
"Well, at least we all learned something valuable," Schwoz told them, making them look at him in confusion.
"What'd we learn?" Jasper asked, thinking that they'd learnt nothing.
"We all learned that no matter how strong love is...anger is stronger." He told them and he didn't realise that it made the young woman behind the group hyperventilate more.
"Good point," Henry said, thinking that it was fair play. That's technically what they had learned, but it wasn't very comforting for a woman who had nearly lost everything.
"Hey, (y/n/n), what do you--oh my god, are you okay?" Charlotte turned to joke around with her, but her happy mood soon died when she saw how pale her friend was. Everyone else turned around to see their friend panicking and shaking and they realised that a night's worth of no sleep, just worry was catching up to her.
"(y/n), are you okay?" Ray asked her again and reached out to touch her, but she was already walking backwards away from his reach and the gang.
"Uh, no---uh, I...don't know. I just...need to be alone for a while," She stuttered, holding her hand to her forehead as she stumbled up the steps to a tubepad.
"Sweet girl, let me come with--" Ray tried to follow her, but she looked at him in terror and it glued him to the floor. She'd never looked at him like that, not once. Was their friendship not strong enough to survive this?
"--No, I just, ugh...up the tube!" She cried out before she had to explain herself and she left them all standing there in confusion. She rode higher and higher and higher until she reached her little slice of heaven, her happy place.
"Guys, what do we do? We gotta help her!" Jasper exclaimed, looking to Henry and Charlotte for answers since they had known her longer than he had. But just because he'd only been working at Junk-N-Stuff for like, two weeks, it didn't mean he cared any less.
"Guys, she wants to be alone," Ray told them in a defeated voice and sloped off to go slouch on the sofa. He was her best friend and she didn't want him, so how could they hope to help? He'd lost her, he'd finally fucked up enough to push her away and that broke him.
"Wait, there is one thing we can do..." Henry speculated, looking to Charlotte with a spark in his eyes. It was risky and possibly dangerous, something they'd only drafted together for dire emergencies, which made it perfect for now. Maybe it would work.
"You don't mean..." Charlotte gawped at him, not believing he was willing to go for it. They'd only planned it on a boring homework night, like, two years ago, it was daring and precarious. Was he sure?
"Charlotte...lobsters." Henry confirmed, making Schwoz and Jasper look at him like he was an alien. Lobsters?
"Henry, just leave it, she said she wants--" Ray's gruff grumbling was cut off by Henry, who was determined to do something, once and for all.
"Ray. I know what I'm doing, trust me. I'm gonna go talk to her." Henry told his boss firmly, his tone leaving no room for arguing. He'd thought about this plan long and hard. He wasn't going to let this ship sink, not on his watch.
"Charlotte, five minutes." He murmured to the girl as he walked past but she knew what to do. If they were doing this, then she was ready. Henry jumped up to the tubepad and waited for it to come down. He knew where (y/n) would be, she always went there when she was sad.
"Up the tube!" He yelled like she had done minutes before and with a whoosh of air, he was on his way. The clock was ticking.
~On the roof~
Project Lobster was a tricky thing and the brainchild of Charlotte and Henry for when they reached the point of crisis. Two years of watching Ray pine for (y/n) and (y/n) pine for Ray had led them to this, extreme measures. They just hoped it worked.
Henry stepped out onto the roof and sure enough, there was (y/n). She was leaning on the ledge, looking out at the city with soft, teary eyes and she sensed that she wasn't alone. This was her spot, she knew when something was up.
"Y'know, Ray showed me this. Valentine's Night, almost two years ago." She called out to the boy, not even having to turn around to know it was him. She could recognise Henry's footsteps easily, even if he was treading carefully.
"The roof?" He asked tentatively after shaking off his shock, confused as to why she liked it up here so much. It was windy and baren, but he hadn't seen the best bit yet.
"No, dummy. This." She gestured to the cityscape before her and she wondered if she had the same look of amazement that Henry had on his face when she first saw the view. His mouth was open like a goldfish as he took in the golden sky, streaked with burnt orange as the sun sank on the horizon. The city didn't seem to be so noisy all the way up here and the park was tranquil, no blaring, teenage music or fights from angry adults, just calm.
"I never knew Swellview could look like this." Henry breathed out, making her chuckle sadly. It had that effect on everyone.
"Yeah, that was my reaction." She whispered, keeping her melancholy gaze on her fingers as they rested on the wall.
"Hey...are you okay?" Henry asked, wanting to be gentle even though he was aware that he couldn't stay up here forever. Charlotte was keeping Ray busy downstairs and he had to stick to the plan.
"I wish people would stop asking, 'cause I...don't know." She told the boy, letting out a sigh and watching a flock of birds fly over their heads. Life become so complicated that she couldn't make heads or tails of it anymore.
"Tell me," Henry instructed her, although it wasn't a command, more of a request from a concerned friend.
"Henry...it's stupid." She exhaled, not wanting to burden a young boy with what was bringing her down. She had been holding it in for nearly six years, she could hold it a bit longer.
"No, it's not. Say it, it's okay." The teen grabbed her hand and squeezed it, more than happy to be the one supporting her for a change. She had been there for him, now he was there for her.
"It's just...today, hearing Ray talk about marriage and kissing her and loving her...it got to me," she said it in the simplest way she could. Emotions are difficult things and they're often so complex, they can't be put into words.
"It was the love muffin." Henry reminded her, even though she knew that already. She'd had more than enough of damn love muffins for an entire lifetime.
"Yeah, I know, but it made me realise that one day, I'm actually going to have to watch him walk down the aisle and it won't be me on his arm." She choked up, thinking about how she'd always been the friend, always been the shoulder for him to cry on, always there to pick up the pieces...but never the girlfriend, the one he wanted like that.
"Henry, I can't stand by and watch him marry someone else—I'm not strong enough. I know I pretend like I don't care but I do. I really, fucking do and it's killing me that he'll never see how much I love him. I want him so much and I can't keep lying, not anymore. " She confessed, letting a tear slip down her cheek. She was so fed up with crying, it was surprising that she had any tears left after sobbing for nearly two days straight.
It was true though, she had been through so much with him: meeting Henry, then Charlotte, breaking into their school as fake teachers, nearly getting eaten by a space bug, meeting Schwoz again, watching Henry become a man-beast, battling Invisible Brad, twice, giving Ray his childhood back, nearly dying from letting a psycho into the Man Cave on a tour, defeating the Wall Dogs, being hypnotised by Dr Minyak, defeating the Time Jerker, the Christmas Kiss, superpowers, an opposite universe, Ox Pox, the return of The Toddler and Jasper's arrival. No one else had stuck with him through all of that, did it mean nothing to him that she had?
"So don't." Henry's words broke through her memories and she looked up at him in bewilderment. What was he going on about?
"What do you mean?" (y/n) asked him, looking at him in suspicion, but he wouldn't give anything away.
"Look, just come back down to the Man Cave in...three minutes and I'll explain everything then." He told her quickly after glancing at his watch and ignored the way her eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
"Why?" She looked him up and down, but couldn't pick anything up except that he was nervous or excited about something. Weird.
"It doesn't matter, but you have to come down in three minutes exactly, promise?" He gave her his best begging look and the offer of a promise was too good for her to resist.
"Okay, I promise." She nodded, seeing that this was important to him. She could do as she was told, it wasn't like she had anything better to do.
"Good. Three minutes." Henry repeated the time again and then turned to leave her alone. He stepped on the tubepad and braced himself for the journey down. He just hoped this would play out perfectly.
~Back in the Man Cave~
"And that's why an octopus has three hearts." Charlotte finished recounting her story to Ray, Jasper and Schwoz, the latter of whom were very interested in what she had to say. Ray, on the other hand, was too depressed to care about octopi and their hearts, he only had one and it was broken.
"Fascinating." He grumbled, his head resting on his palm as he slumped over on the couch. As per Project Lobster's details, Charlotte had made him shuffle around the half-moon shape until he had his back to the tubes and now, he was in position for the big finale.
"Sup, people?" Henry greeted his friends as he came down the tube on time, landing with his heart racing. This was happening and it wasn't a drill, he just had to stay calm and work with Charlotte.
"Hey, how'd it go?" The young girl asked him, Ray not even bothering to turn around. Well, that was good, that's what they wanted.
"Oh, you know, she's still not ready to come down yet," Henry replied loudly but held up three fingers to indicate to Charlotte the time they had to play with. Three minutes on the clock and they were counting down fast.
"Is she finished with me? Does she want to leave?" Ray asked his sidekick in a monotone voice as his heart clenched in pain from the thought of losing her. He didn't want her to go, not like this.
"Uhhh, she didn't say, why?" The boy replied, signalling to Charlotte for her to take over as he silenced the tube alarm. He couldn't make it completely silent, but he was sure that without the loud beeping, Ray wouldn't notice a thing.
"'Cause I've screwed up the one good thing I have and now my best friend hates me." Ray gulped down the lump in his throat and rubbed his eyes to stop the tears from flowing. He loved her so much, more than life itself and now she was gonna leave... Two minutes to go.
"Hey, Ray, what makes you love (y/n) so much? I mean, she's just a girl and you've gone out with hundreds of those." Charlotte prompted him, leaving it open for him to ramble to his heart's content. Schwoz and Jasper were very confused and wanted to say something, but a stern look from Henry and a finger on his lips told them that any interruption could spell disaster, so they buttoned it.
"She's not just a girl, she's perfect and cute and smart. She knows how to make me laugh and she's not boring or big-headed. All the other girls are just dumb or blinded by Captain Man, but not my (y/n). She sees me, she sees Ray..." Ray argued, hating that Charlotte had called (y/n) just a girl. She was so much more than that.
"How did you meet?" The teen girl moved on to her next question, keeping the time in the back of her mind.
"In a coffee shop. Some jerk had broken in and held her captive, but by the time I'd gotten there, she'd already hit him over the head with a chair and dealt with everything. She was so shy and small but...beautiful. I asked her to come work for me." Ray explained, a soft smile on his face. That was the day his life became brighter, when a twenty-year-old college student beat some petty criminal up for spilling coffee down her shirt.
"Right, that's cute. So, she's special to you?" Henry asked the question this time and he came to stand with Charlotte, Jasper and Schwoz at the couch. There was nothing left for them to do now. One minute on the clock and it was all up to Ray.
"Yeah, of course, she's special. She's stuck around through everything I've made her do and she's never complained. I make her fix my crap and wait up and do my laundry and now I take her into dangerous fights, for god's sake. What kind of a job is that for someone like her? A gorgeous, sexy, intelligent, young woman. She's so outta my league and I know she deserves someone better who can give her a good life, but I can't help it...I'm in love with (y/n)."
"What?" Zero seconds on the clock.
Ray had shut out the world and all the noises it forced onto him, including the whoosh of a tube coming down with a weary young woman inside. She had stepped out of the glass casing just in time for her to hear the last bit and it was her gobsmacked utterance that cut through his daydream.
"What?" Ray gasped, shooting up like he'd been burnt by the couch and whipped around to see (y/n) looking at him with a wonderstruck expression. Henry, Charlotte, Schwoz and Jasper were frozen with excited trepidation; no one dared to move a muscle. Ray looked at his best friend with absolute fear from his loose-lipped admittance and felt his heart explode in panic.
"You love me?" She asked softly like she couldn't believe it herself. And she couldn't.
She hadn't misheard and a pinch on the inside of her arm told her she wasn't dreaming, he'd actually said it. He'd actually said the words she'd only ever imagined in her wildest fantasies.
"Wha..how--how much of that did you h-hear?" He asked her, feeling the most scared he had ever been in his life. He'd rather fight all his enemies at once than face her like this. He could practically feel the rejection coming.
"Enough..." she answered carefully, treating the situation with the utmost care like if she clung to this moment too hard, it would break.
"Listen, (y/n), it was a mis--" She couldn't bear to let him finish, not this time. No more bouncing around the truth, not anymore.
"No, you listen to me, Raymond Manchester. No more lies. I want the truth because I think that we aren't honest enough with each other and...we both deserve clarity after so much confusion." She told him calmly and clearly, even though she was feeling anything but calm. Absolutely fucking terrified was the correct way to describe how she was feeling or the closest she could get.
"The truth?" He repeated, looking her straight in the eyes. He'd known the truth for a long time and it had been his closely guarded secret, but not anymore.
"It's all I want." She nodded, leaving him to make the next move. The move that would change everything.
"The truth is (y/n) (y/l/n)...I love you, so much it hurts." Ray whispered and the world stopped. His heart was thumping and bracing itself for loneliness and a life without its soulmate, whilst hers was soaring and reaching out to grab on and never let go. This was real and it was everything she'd ever asked for.
"Oh..." She gasped quietly, not knowing how else to react at first. Her mind took a second to let the confession settle in and for Ray, he took it as her being disappointed.
His face broke away as he bit back tears again. So this was what they meant by heartbreak, it wasn't seeing her with other guys or missing her when she wasn't around, it was knowing that he'd made an error of judgement and it cut deep.
Snapping out of her shock, (y/n) stepped forwards and looked at his crumpled face. He needn't worry so much, she was right next to him, where she knew she belonged.
"Don't look so sad, it's a good thing because...I love you too." Her face erupted into a smile when Ray's gaze shot to her face with so much shock, he looked comical. He couldn't think of anything to say that could triumph over what she had just told him so he just wrapped his arms around her shoulders and brought her into a warm embrace. The first of many that told them that they were home in each other's arms.
It was then that they both realised that their friends were shouting, clapping, whistling and dancing in celebration as they congratulated the couple and themselves for getting together at last.
"Finally!" Henry told Ray and clapped him on the back as (y/n) briefly let go of her doofus to hug Charlotte, Jasper and even Schwoz. This was their victory as much as hers and Ray's and it felt so unbelievably good to not keep their secrets anymore.
"Wait, how long have you lot known about him loving me?" (y/n) asked the group, who smirked at the baffled couple. They had drifted into each other's arms again and for the first time in forever, neither one was shy or embarrassed about needing the other's touch.
"Uh, since the moment I met you." Henry and Charlotte said together, making the couple chuckle. That was, like, two years ago, how long had this been going on?
"I've watched you two pretend not to love each other for eight years or more. You are both very blind." Schwoz shrugged nonchalantly, acting like it was no big deal, but it was.
"Eig--you never said anything, doofus!" (y/n) slapped Ray's shoulder playfully as she leaned her head against his chest. She could hear his heart beating and now she knew—it was beating for her.
"Neither did you!" He argued back and pressed his lips to the top of her head. God, the girl of his dreams loved him as he loved her, he hadn't been chasing a hopeless fantasy for all these years, it was real. He didn't know who he had pleased to deserve this, but he wasn't going to let her go again.
"Sorry...I thought you loved all those girls you dated, you never seemed to notice me. I just assumed that everything I feel for you was one-sided." She confessed, absentmindedly drawing patterns on his white shirt with her finger. Finally, she could enjoy having those massive arms around her and not feel weird for thinking her best friend was hot.
"They meant nothing to me, I promise. I tried to distract myself, 'cause I... I thought you were out of my league since you're so damn gorgeous." His baritone voice made chills go down her spine, and she gasped at his words. Coming from him, they made desire pool in her lower stomach and she decided that she wouldn't mind hearing them for the rest of her life.
"Ray, I look like shit." She chuckled bashfully and gestured to the pyjamas that still covered her body. They were wrecked, bloody, torn and dirty and they made her feel anything but gorgeous.
"Nah, you look beautiful." He smiled down at her and loved the way her cheeks flared up with a pink blush. So cute and all his.
"Well, Project Lobster was a success." Henry shook hands with Charlotte, who definitely agreed. If they had known that it would work this well, they'd have done it a lot sooner.
"What the hell is Project Lobster?" Ray asked the teens as he cradled his girl to his chest. His girl, he'd been saying that for a while now, but he hadn't realised how right he'd been. It felt right, so very right and he knew that he'd say it for the rest of his life if she'd let him.
"Henry and I came up with a plan, nearly two years ago, to get you two to say I love you." Charlotte began to explain and the couple listened eagerly.
"We would get you both alone and then you walk in on the other person saying it and then you'd be all gross and stuff." Henry brushed over the basics of the plan, which made it seem a lot more simple than it had been. It was like a Mission Impossible task and they were still reeling from the fact that they had managed to pull it off.
"But, you both swore us to secrecy and threatened to kill us if we revealed how you felt, so we just saved it for an emergency..." Charlotte trailed off, having said everything that made up their devious plan and Ray and (y/n) nodded with smiles on their faces.
"We're very grateful but, I have one question." (y/n) said, a small, puzzled frown on her face. It wasn't a big thing, but she'd never live it down if she didn't find an answer.
"Sure, what is it?" Henry asked, curious as to what she wanted to know.
"Why did you call it Project Lobster?" The young woman asked and everyone nodded at her question. It was a weird name.
"Yeah, why didn't you call it Project Get (y/n) and Ray Get Together?" Jasper suggested, even though the name was far too long and complicated for a top-secret mission.
"Because he's her lobster!" Charlotte exclaimed and everyone laughed at their silliness. It was true, he was her lobster and she was his. Cute.
"Well, I'm glad that I don't have to watch you two be all pouty anymore." Schwoz rolled his eyes and high-fived Jasper. He'd worked for Captain Man for two weeks and he was sick of it too.
"Yeah, it's over." (y/n) smiled up at Ray and he smiled down at her in return. No more secrets, no more hiding, just their love for each other. Only, it wasn't quite over just yet.
"Um, Ray, this is the part where you put us out of our misery and kiss her." Henry hissed in his boss's ear and the man blushed at the four smirks being sent his way. Oh yeah, he forgot about that part. Ray looked at (y/n), who had pink dusted all over her cheeks, but there wasn't a sign of disgust or rejection on her features, just happiness and love.
"Can I?" He breathed out, wanting to make sure that she was okay with this even though she was already on her tiptoes and leaning in.
"Of course." She told him and her eyes flickered closed as their lips met.
It was different to their first one, it wasn't about boundaries or trying to keep themselves under control, it was just them and they were free to show their love. Her hands tangled in his hair as he cupped her face to tilt her jaw open. Free to explore, Ray ran his tongue across her bottom lip and at last, he truly knew that she tasted like honey, just like he'd guessed. Before, he'd barely gotten a chance to confirm it or not and it had been so many months, the sweet taste had almost left his mind. Now, he'd never forget again.
His lips were still perfectly soft, just like she remembered and they made a shiver go down her spine as he went further than they did last time. Mint and bubble gum burst into her mouth for the second time in her life and she practically purred in pleasure, willing to him all of her and more.
Sadly though, the burning of their lungs said otherwise and that pesky instinct that told them they needed to breathe forced them apart. Reluctantly, Ray retreated from the kiss and pulled back to rest his forehead against hers as they panted.
"Wow," he chuckled breathlessly as he thought of what to say. Henry, Jasper, Schwoz and Charlotte had seen enough of the kiss to realise that they needed some privacy now and they all tiptoed away whilst they were still wrapped up in each other. Not that they minded, they didn't need anyone else anymore.
"I know." She giggled back, feeling drunk from the lack of oxygen and all the love lifting her heart.
"You've no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He confessed, stroking his thumbs over her cheekbones and down to her lips. So soft, he just wanted to have her again and again and he knew he'd never get tired.
"Well, I've wanted to kiss you again since last Christmas." She told him, trailing a hand down his chest, igniting his skin through his shirt as she felt his muscles. God, he had been pining just as much as her and he felt so stupid as he realised that every time he'd wanted to tell her everything, she would've accepted him with open arms, not rejected him like he'd feared.
"I love you so much." He told her again, wishing that he had said it sooner since they could have been so happy already if he had. Still, he now had the rest of his life to make up for it and he promised himself that he'd tell her every day. He had always told himself that she deserved the perfect guy, who would treat her like a queen and now, that was him.
"I love you too. With all of my heart." She mumbled and brushed her lips against his in a gentle kiss. It was meant to tease him, meaning she giggled when he tried to chase her touch as she pulled away.
"Tease." He murmured in her ear as she smiled, although she was soon whimpering when he trailed his hot lips down the side of her throat and his hands ran down her curves to her hips. Five years of unspoken desire was surging to the surface, leaving them at the mercy of their lust. Now, she was actually glad that she was wearing such thin pyjamas. They allowed him to dip under her flimsy tank top and feel the soft skin of her stomach. God, she was burning up from the inside, out.
"Only for you, boyfriend." She teased further and bit her lip when she felt his hold on her tighten. A label, finally, something that could sum up what they had with two simple names.
"My girlfriend, mine," Ray whispered into the spot just under her ear and knew that it was the thing he'd wanted to hear all his life.
Boyfriend and girlfriend. That would suit them just fine.

『 Thorn & Roses 』 - Chapter 8
Echoes of Midnight
In the embrace of the night, [Y/N] found herself grappling with the restless tendrils of insomnia. As the world around her succumbed to slumber, she lay upon her bed, her eyes fixed upon the shadows on the walls. The moon, a silent witness, bestowed its ethereal glow upon the room, casting a sombre ambiance that mirrored the turmoil within her heart.
Tossing and turning, she sought a comfortable position to usher her into the realm of dreams, yet each shift only intensified her restlessness.
The subtle creaks of the floorboards and the gentle whispers of the wind outside served as haunting reminders of the passing time. Tick-tock, the hands of the clock moved relentlessly forward, marking minutes felt like eternal hours. As she closed her eyes, the sweetness of slumber teased her senses, but remained just out of reach, an elusive delicacy.
Desperate for relief from the waking world, she tried various tactics to calm her mind. She took deep breaths, seeking refuge in the calming rhythm of her own breath. She counted sheep, hoping the simple act would usher in a state of tranquillity. [Y/N] even whispered soft lullabies, as if her own voice could weave a tapestry of dreams, but nothing worked.
In the depths of frustration, she reached under her pillow and retrieved her most cherished possession—an elegant emerald necklace. The delicate chain adorned with a mesmerizing emerald gemstone, shimmering with a captivating delight, it captured the essence of simplicity and sophistication.
The emerald, a stunning centrepiece, held within its depths a mesmerizing hue that seemed to hold secrets of forgotten forests and enigmatic depths. Bathed in a soft light, it exuded an aura of mystery and allure, much like the enigmatic eyes of the one and only Malleus Draconia.
This necklace, a token of significance, held sentimental value beyond measure. It was more than just a piece of jewellery; it was a precious link to memories and emotions that made it an irreplaceable part of her life.
Clutching the emerald necklace close to her heart, she made an effort to push away the familiar worries that often plagued her mind, as she did so her tears fell silently, a testament to the struggles she couldn't escape. Exhaustion eventually embraced her, pulling her closer to slumber.
But in the depths of her newly acquired sleep, a sharp, horrifying voice pierced through the tranquillity.
"Find me"
Her eyes flew open in terror, her heart pounding fiercely in her chest. The voice had felt all too real, too close for comfort. Slowly, she rose from her bed, trembling with fear, her senses alert, searching for the source of the sinister whisper.
As she turned her gaze towards the bedroom mirror, her heart sank. It stood there, completely shattered, like a reflection of her own fragile state of mind. A cold chill raced down her spine, freezing her in place. The room seemed to close in around her, as if unseen eyes were watching from the darkness.
With the first light of dawn casting a pale glow, the once comforting room now bore an eerie aura.
____________________________________________________________
Spending lunchtime with Ace, Deuce, and Grim was always a blast, but ever since the class reshuffling, their friend group had grown exponentially. Deuce found himself in the same class as Jack, through Deuce's past delinquent phase and Jack's disciplined nature, they found common ground into working to bettering themselves and grew closer.
Meanwhile, Ace ended up in the same class as Ortho, which made for an amusing and endearing combination. On one hand, you had Ace, always attempting to skip class, not paying attention, or dozing off. On the other hand, Ortho, like a responsible younger brother, kept pushing Ace to fulfil his duties and complete his tasks.
It was heart-warming to see how acquaintances were transforming into close friends, little by little.
"You seem exhausted, [Y/N]. Did you roll out of bed or something?" Ace mockingly remarked to the weary girl seated in front of him. "She might as well have, considering the amount of noise she was making last night!" Grim interjected, clearly not amused by the lack of sleep either.
"I had trouble sleeping, not sure why," [Y/N] replied wearily, her tone reflecting the weariness that had plagued her night.
"Is something bothering you, [Y/N]?" Jack asked, his voice tinged with concern as he joined the conversation." Yeah, if there's anything we can help you with, don't hesitate to let us know!" Epel added, offering his support.
A warm smile spread across [Y/N]'s face as she felt the happiness of having so many supportive people by her side. She took a moment to contemplate if now was the right time to discuss her sporadic hearings. In the past, she hadn't been the most forthcoming about the strange glimpses of Mickey in the mirror. However, with her friends gathered around, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to aproach the subject.
"Well…" the girl with [color] hair spoke softly, "Last night, I was feeling exhausted and frustrated because I couldn't fall asleep, but… something else bothered me even more." She paused, carefully choosing her words, and then continued, "I heard a voice whispering in my ear, 'Find me,' in a really eerie manner." Her unease was evident as she shared the unsettling experience.
All her friends glanced at each other briefly, trying to make sense of the experience. "So, like, a ghost?" Deuce broke the silence, sounding concerned. "Seriously, Deuce? She lives with ghosts already. You're a real genius," Ace chimed in, poking fun at Deuce's response.
"Oh, wait, you are right, I meant a monster or something," Deuce corrected himself, realizing his mistake. "SHUT UP!! Don’t say those things!" [Y/N] exclaimed, clearly worried about the implications of Deuce's suggestion. The atmosphere seemed tense, and everyone except Ortho appeared to be frightened by the notion.
"FUNYAAA!!! Are we living in a haunted house, [Y/N]?!" Grim exclaimed, clearly frightened by the recent events. "I've been telling you, Grim, you two do live in a haunted house!" Ace affirmed once again. "And also YOU ARE a monster!" he added with a touch of annoyance.
"Haha. I often forget about it" [Y/N] expressed, "The ghosts are actually wonderful roommates, and I genuinely like them a lot." she said warmly "They become very respectful once you ask them kindly for something," Grim added. "If someone is playing pranks on [Y/N], it probably wasn't the ghosts," Grim pondered. Epel chimed in, wondering, "If the ghosts aren't behind [Y/N]'s nighttime experiences, then who could it be?"
[Y/N] pondered, "Now I'm not sure what to think of the incident." Ortho interrupted, saying, "Well, it's quite simple. Was it the first time you heard the voice, or have you heard it before, especially while you were awake?" Everyone gazed intently at [Y/N], waiting for a response.
Although she was aware of the answer, she found herself attempting to deny her experiences. The truth, however, continued to weigh heavily on her heart. Eventually, she chose to live in denial, saying, "No, it was the only time." Her friends visibly relaxed upon hearing this response.
"Well, then it was probably sleep paralysis," Ortho cheerfully suggested, trying to alleviate any concerns. "So there's nothing to worry about!" Deuce added, trying to reassure her further, [Y/N] attempted to put on a relieved expression, saying, 'Yay!'.
Ace interjected with the following, "Those things are definitely terrible!" Suddenly, an idea seemed to strike Ace as he mischievously exclaimed, "HEY! I've got an idea! What if… we have a Slumber Party at Ramshackle Dorm!" He eagerly presented his suggestion, extending his arms with enthusiasm.
"You still seem quite down, [Y/N]," Ace remarked, trying to lift the mood. "A slumber party could definitely brighten things up and chase away those night terrors, he-he~" he added cheerfully.
"That would be fucking awesome!" Epel said, knowing that a day away from Pomefiore Dorm meant a break from Vil's constant presence. "I can bring some games from my older brother," Ortho offered to the newly formed group. "And if we plan it right, we can ask Trey for some treats!" Deuce suggested, contributing to the conversation.
"I'm sorry, but I usually sleep early and wake up early for training, so I can't really stay at sleepovers," Jack explained. "At this point, we're not asking, Jack! We're dragging you in!" Ace interrupted playfully, undeterred by Jack's annoyed expression. "And you all better bring some offerings to the great and mighty ME!!" Grim chimed in mischievously. "Two tuna cans per person, NYAHAHAHAHAHA!!".
As the newly proposed plan was laid out, everyone turned their hopeful gazes toward [Y/N], brimming with excitement for the hangout. "Seeing all of you so thrilled about it, I can't possibly say no," [Y/N] replied with an excited smile.

perfectionist, not. sae itoshi
chapter four - oblivious redhead
"um... wanna do something else?" i questioned, the fact that it was embarrassing for the both of us was... um... awkward.
"...sure." he was literally agreeing to everything i suggest, say, comment, maybe he just found me annoying... i dropped myself onto the bed, my arms spread. "like what?" i mumbled, finding my eyelids heavier and heavier.
"just go sleep." he replied, glancing at me over the shoulder. "mhm." i crawled to the pillow, but my arms were weak, sore, i just dipped down into the bed, not even caring about the blankets keeping me warm.
that night, the lights went dim, a blanket right cover my small body, an arm snaked around my waist and the scent of sweetness filled the room.
゜
a thing i wanted to do back in Japan, is to shop. so this morning, i forced Sae to come shopping with me, of course, he declined but with the power of my puppy eyes, he finally said yes with a grumpy groan and massaging his temples.
i wore a white tank top with light blue jeans, topping it off with air jordans and a white jacket. Sae wore a creamy striped button up, regular jeans, IV shades to hide from fans and Adidas og superstars.
"let's goooo!" i pointed a finger towards the azure sky, eyes closed with a smile and grabbing his wrists. he could only sigh like a mother, facepalming himself. we entered a shopping mall, with loads of fans recognising the both of us, of course, his redhead is always easy to identify.
we continued to shop and i couldn't help but to glance or stare at him from time to time, my heart started to beat faster whenever i see his side profile, when he chuckled at my careless mistakes, his laughter ringed in my ears like a melody while butterflies started flying around my stomach.
i'm sure i'm just sick. "you okay?" he stopped, giving a glance, "y-yeah." i stared at my shoes, maybe i was too carried away from the thoughts... "you're red." he placed a hand over my forehead, catching me off guard. why was he like this...?
he surely wasn't like this before.
"c'mon, let's go to the restroom, you can wash your face." he guided me, walking to the nearest restroom that was not too far away. i wanted to decline the offer so bad but, nothing came out of my mouth, it was like i was taped over, it was like i had a disability.
he grabbed the shopping bags from me, pushing me in the restroom while waiting outside without a word.
i fiddled with my fingers, staring at myself in the mirror. he was right... i was red. like red red. what the hell? i traced my cheek, drawing circles on them, what happened?
it didn't look like i was sick or i had a fever... no, not that kind of red. it looked like i was blushing...
too hard.
no.
no way.
no fucking way.
i swear to god, he's a pain in the ass!
how on earth could i fall for him?
especially now?
゜
we headed back to the hotel, but i could stop thinking about that. just what is wrong with me? that redhead has literally the worst hairstyle anyone could have, and yet, he looked like a red flag for being an annoyance.
and yet, now i've fallen for him? now i was siting on the chair, resting my chin on the centre of my palms and he was covering my mind.
after he took his time in the shower, it was my time. like every other night, i did my routine. until i came out, seeing Sae with his legs crossed, perhaps waiting for me?
"come sit here." he patted the space that was in front of him, i obeyed and found my eyes anywhere but on his pretty face.
"is there something going on?" he predicted, i felt like my feelings were just too complex now, i couldn't even put it in words.
"i-i..." i stuttered, finding words for my sentence, it felt like digging a dictionary out of my mind. if i just tell him, but don't tell him that it's him, will it be okay?
"i-i think... i like someone..." i blushed, scratching my scalp, i stole a glance at him.
for him, it looked like his world shattered, but his facial expressions said nothing, barely anything actually. "you've been thinking about him...?" he spoke up, his head was down but his fist was supporting his chin. "y-yeah."
i was thinking about you the whole day, dumbass.
"do i know him?" his tone was kept calm, "i-i guess so..." i found myself staring into his hues, lost in the abyss. "hm. i guess you better confess, he'll be lucky to have you." he looked away.
no way...
was he jealous...?!

"Show me then," I dared him as my arms wrapped around his neck. Any sort of restraint he had snapped. I was completely at his mercy. It was always strange how Dumbledore knew everything, right? What was failed to mention in the story was that Dumbledore didn't necessarily act alone. A name was erased from history. For Katerina Aydin the only magic that ever existed was the one in books. Yet, after being brutally murdered she is transported into the world of Harry Potter. Not only was she given a second chance at life, but this time with magic. She was tasked with turning the tide in the war against Voldemort. With her abilities to foresee the undeniable future she became a spy for Dumbledore, a Death Eater. She was Dumbledore's secret weapon. Everything she did, had a purpose and that purpose was to make sure Harry Potter could one day triumph against Voldemort. And when a certain platinum-blonde git, Draco Malfoy, enters her life, duty and destiny becomes tangled with her lust and salacity, and she didn't know if she wanted to kiss him or kill him.
I am writing a Draco Malfoy x reader fan fiction!! Give her some love, I would love to hear some feedback!!

Henry Danger Reader Insert | Captain Man x Reader: SEASON 2
Episode 1: The Beat Goes On
~The Man Cave~
The elevator dinged and Schwoz stepped out, looking for his friends and carrying a sack full of mail.
"Hey, here's another sack." He said to Charlotte and (y/n), who looked at the bag with wide eyes. Captain Man had been receiving endless amounts of fan letters and gifts recently and the Man Cave was starting to fill up.
"No way, more fan mail?" Charlotte gasped, having already gone through about a hundred letters that morning.
"I get that Captain Man and Kid Danger are popular, but can't they just send an email or something? They keep sending us junk!" The young woman stated, pushing away one of the meaningful, but useless gifts someone had sent them. At least Ray gave her all the female stuff he was sent, like perfume and jewellery. Speaking of Ray, the man came down from the sprocket, wearing one of his signature brightly patterned shirts.
"Schwoz, I found another one of your diseased eggs in my tanning bed." Ray scolded the genius, holding up a pale pink, oddly-shaped egg. Schwoz loved to create mutants and monster creatures, but he always put them around the Man Cave to incubate and it freaked everyone out.
"It's not diseased...yet." The small man said carefully, as Ray studied and sniffed the egg.
"I know you're indestructible, but those tanning beds are lethal." (y/n) mentioned from behind her pile of mail. She hated that he used them, knowing that they were unbelievably bad for your skin.
"But how else am I supposed to get this sweet tan?" He winked at his friend, showing off his fake sun-kissed skin. In recent months, they had grown more and more attracted to each other and at this point, their romantic tension was bubbling over.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Charlotte asked. She had never encountered any mutant eggs in the Man Cave and now she was worried that they were lurking around.
"Schwoz gets his jollies by blasting eggs with all kinds of weird radiation so he can see what happens when they hatch," Ray explained, giving Schwoz a knowing look.
"And yet you're still holding that egg." (y/n) smiled at him, making the large man hold the egg away from his body.
"It's fun to create mutants." Schwoz protested, even though his claims didn't carry much water.
"Yeah, must've been real fun for your mom, oooh!" Ray joked, sending his best friend into peels of laughter as Schwoz scowled.
"Hey!" He snapped as Charlotte held in her giggles unlike the woman next to her. Ray threw the egg back to Schwoz, the sound it made as he caught it hinting that it was mysteriously dense.
"I want that egg off this property." He told him, making (y/n) gulp as he took control of the situation. Boss Ray was hot Ray. Whilst Schwoz stroked his weird egg, Henry came from behind the secret door with a can of whipped cream in his hand. Weird.
"Hey guys, someone left this can of whipped cream in the weapons room." He said, making (y/n) and Schwoz titter as he carried it so casually. That was no can of whipped cream, that was a deadly weapon.
"No, no, no, be careful with that!!" The young woman cried as Schwoz dashed over to take it from the boy's hands.
"Why?" Henry looked puzzled. It looked like a perfectly normal, safe can of squirty goodness to him.
"Show him, Schwoz." (y/n) instructed, but she didn't expect him to test it on her best friend.
"Hey, Ray..." Schwoz smiled at his boss, who looked at him happily, not anticipating what was coming.
"Yeah, what's up?" He looked up from a fan's letter.
"Hey, I didn't mean—" (y/n) was cut off as Schwoz fired the can at him, causing him to shout in pain as his shirt burnt away. Henry and Charlotte laughed as he smouldered, but at least (y/n) felt bad for him.
"Dang dangit, Schwoz!" He yelled as the pain faded away.
"Relax, you're indestructible." Charlotte reminded him, but it didn't really help.
"Yeah, well, my shirt wasn't." He snapped and (y/n) mourned the loss of his shirt since it had been one of her favourites. It always framed his shoulders so well. Her inner thoughts of adoration were interrupted as Henry got a text and pulled his PearPhone out of his pocket to check it.
"Oh man, I'm late for dinner, I better get home." He said, dashing to the elevator after quickly skimming through the message.
"Wait, Henry. Do me a favour. Take this egg to your house." Schwoz whispered to him, the mutant egg rumbling and bubbling from the inside.
"This egg makes me nervous," Henry said, not trusting something that the mischievous man would give him, especially if it was one of his mutant creations.
"Just take it to your backyard and lay it in a boosh." He instructed the boy, quickly checking that Ray was still fawning over the letter in (y/n)'s hands. Well, fawning over that and her.
"Okay, I'll take it home and put it in a boosh." Henry conceded, turning to enter the elevator, but was stopped once again as Charlotte opened a box.
"Hey, guys, look! One of your fans sent you both a birthday cake." She smiled and turned the box to show (y/n), revealing a cake complete with candles and blue frosting.
"But it's not their birthdays." The woman frowned as she looked at the cake. It was one of her quirks that she remembered everyone's birthday so she could get them a great gift and sometimes, it was useful for other things too. Like when her friends got sent a mysterious cake.
"CHARLOTTE, (Y/N), MOVE!" Henry shouted at both of them as he noticed something moving on top of the cake. Charlotte dived to the side and Ray pulled (y/n) over the couch as Henry punched Schwoz out of the way. The kid grabbed the whipped cream can from the genius's hands whilst he groaned in pain. He fired the strong laser beam at the cake, destroying it completely, making Ray look at his sidekick in confusion as he protected the woman in his arms. What was wrong with him?
"Ow!" Schwoz yelled as he held his nose, very confused as to why Henry would punch him.
"Aw, I wanted a slice." (y/n) whined, her arms still around Ray's neck. Just because the danger was over didn't mean she had to let go, right?
"That cake was for both of us. You had no right!" Ray hissed at Henry, also reluctant to let his friend go. He could enjoy her embrace for just a few more minutes...
"I...I saw something on it." Henry told them, putting the can of whipped cream down and going over to inspect the remnants of the smoking cake.
"Why was I punched in the face?" Schwoz whined, his nose still aching.
"You just have one of those faces." (y/n) quipped, but everyone stopped laughing as Henry pulled some sparking circuitry from inside the sponge. There had been some foul play going on here.
"This was inside that cake," Henry said, passing it to (y/n) who looked at in shock with Ray.
"It's a wireless video camera. You know what that means?" The superhero breathed out and he took the small device from the girl's trembling hands. The explosion and now the fact that someone had sent them a camera made her nerves stand on end.
"That it doesn't require wires," Henry replied, misinterpreting what Ray had asked.
"No, it means that some asshole is trying to spy on us, here in the Man Cave." (y/n) clarified, shaking her head at the daft boy.
"I wonder who," Henry asked, him and Charlotte feeling uncomfortable at the thought of someone watching them. Ray was lost in thought and so was his best friend, meaning they were unknowingly drifting towards each other until they pressed their bodies together, her back to his front.
"I wonder why you punched me in the face," Schwoz shouted at Henry, breaking the couple's train of thought.
"Guys! We need to figure out who sent that cake with this video camera inside." Ray snapped at them. He was on edge. He lived in the Man Cave, his livelihood was in the Man Cave, she was in the Man Cave, and that meant that she could be in danger. He just needed to know which villain sent the cake...
~Lil Biker's Shop~
"Doctor Minyak! I was able to save a short video image from before the camera stopped transmitting." Nurse Cohort showed her boss. So they were the criminals behind this plot. They had made their base in a biker shop for little kids in downtown Swellview and had even tied up the owner and shoved him in a closet. Meanies.
"Good, show it to me." The villain said, peering at Nurse Cohort's PearBook. After his last showdown with Captain Man, he was more than ready to face the superhero again. And this time, he hoped to beat him, starting with the people he worked with.
"Hey, guys, look! One of your fans sent you both a birthday cake." Charlotte said onscreen, her face clearly displayed for the villains to see. The camera was turned around and then they saw a pretty girl swamped by fan mail, (y/n). Ah, geez.
"These girls must somehow be connected with Captain Man and Kid Danger. So, all we need to do now is find them!" The crazy man said enthusiastically like it was no big task.
"That's all we have to do?" Nurse Cohort asked dumbly, thinking that their plan seemed a bit short.
"No! First, we find them, then, we use them to destroy Captain Man and Kid Danger!!" Minyak revealed his evil schemes. Yes, Charlotte and (y/n) would be his minions, all he had to do first was capture them.
~The next day, Swellview Park~
Charlotte had met up with (y/n) after school as she made her way to work. The young woman had been tasked with getting ice cream for her and Ray and since she bumped into the girl, it made sense that they'd walk together. Taking a shortcut through the park, they were trying to dash back to the Man Cave before the frozen treat melted.
"Can't believe all I'm good for is fetching ice cream." She grumbled to Charlotte, who giggled at her. She knew her friend loved ice cream and Ray, so the job didn't irritate her as much as she let on.
"Gather around! Gather around, citizens of Swellview!" A magician called to the crowd in a small seating area, making it hard for them to get through. Having never seen the criminals in person before, Charlotte and (y/n) couldn't recognise the magician and his assistant, who were really Doctor Minyak and Nurse Cohort.
"Come experience the magical magic of Doctor Magico!" The nurse yelled, their act merely a ruse so they could kidnap the girls they had tracked to the park.
"And my assistant, Miss Direction!" Minyak added as the girls slowed down to briefly look at their act. A small show wouldn't hurt the ice cream, right?
"And now for my first trick, I shall need two volunteers!" He addressed the crowd of both kids and adults.
"Pick me! Pick me! I love magic!" A little boy squealed from the crowd, but Minyak already had his sights set on the two girls who were about to leave.
"We only need two volunteers!" He yelled again, ignoring the kid in front.
"I'm one volunteer!" He said back, not getting why he couldn't be part of the act.
"Uh, perhaps, these young ladies can help us?" Nurse Cohort rounded up the pair as they walked past the group, startled at how they'd been dragged in.
"Whoa, us?" Charlotte stuttered as she shoved her phone in her pocket.
"Yeah, we're kind of in a hurry." (y/n) laughed nervously, eyeing the softening ice cream. She really didn't want to be in some amateur magic act, preferring the thought of going home and eating ice on the couch with her best friend.
"Miss, ma'am, pick a card. Any card." He shoved a deck of cards in their faces, some of them falling from his hands.
"Uh, like she said, we really gotta get to work." Charlotte tried to give them an excuse, but Minyak ignored it all the same.
"Pick a card!" He reiterated, fanning the deck out so they could choose one.
"Fine, dude." (y/n) sighed, taking a card from the deck and showing it to Charlotte.
"And now that they've chosen their card, we place the girls into the magical cans of trash!" Minyak smiled at the crowd, who all thought this was part of the show. (y/n) and Charlotte struggled against their captors, but Minyak had a firm grip on the woman's arms and even though she was a petite lady, Nurse Cohort was able to lift Charlotte into a blue trash can.
"What are you doing?" Charlotte gasped as the nurse slammed the lid shut and locked it. (y/n) panicked as Minyak pulled a small needle from his pocket. Of course, a child was easy to incapacitate, but a grown woman was different; he'd need a little bit of help. Dropping the ice cream in fear, she could hear the thumping of her friend on the sides of the trash can as the blood rushed through her head, and the doctor used her shock against her when he pricked her skin with the sleeping drug.
"Who the fuck are you--" (y/n) slurred as her eyes became unbearably heavy, the drug working alarmingly fast as she collapsed into Minyak's arms. With his assistant's help, he managed to shove her body into a green trash can, which they then wheeled into their van. They grinned cheerfully at the crowd, acting as though it was some sort of disappearing trick.
"(y/n)! (y/n)? Help!" Charlotte screamed as she felt her prison move and be roughly pushed into the van.
"And now, close your eyes..." Minyak instructed the crowd mysteriously, and with no one looking or suspecting something was wrong, he and Cohort scrambled into the van and made their escape with the terrified girls in the back.
~Back in the Man Cave~
No one suspected anything was wrong, after all, Charlotte regularly made that walk back from school to Junk-N-Stuff and (y/n) often went out for ice cream, so there was no panic amongst Ray, Schwoz or Henry.
"And here's my special guacamole." Schwoz smiled at Henry, who was just sat at the couch drinking some bubblegum Kool-aid and scrolling through his phone. Schwoz and Ray had gotten into another one of their silly competitions and with no (y/n) there to be the referee, it was getting pretty intense.
"Yeah, and here's my super-duper special guacamole." Ray ran over to the couch, being careful not to drop his bowl of the avocado dip.
"Now, which was one's better?" Ray asked the boy, who took a chip from the blue bowl in front of him and dunked it into Schwoz's guac first.
"Alright, now I'll try yours." He nodded at Ray after getting a good taste of the smaller man's dip. He took another chip and tested Ray's, instantly knowing which one he preferred.
"Okay, think about the way the flavour blends and y'know, the mouthfeel, the way it hits--" Ray tried to sway his opinion but Henry had already made up his mind.
"Schwoz wins." He deadpanned, ignoring any comments the large man used to influence him. Yeah, Ray's was nice, but Schwoz's had that little kick at the end that Henry really enjoyed.
"What?" The superhero spluttered, thinking for sure he had the better recipe.
"I win! I do better things to avocados!" Schwoz gloated, winding his boss up. They really needed (y/n) on standby to calm any of their childish arguments.
"No! This whole contest was...a--a...a avomockery! I want a second opinion, where's (y/n)?" Ray whined, realising that his beloved helper wasn't with them.
"You sent her to get ice cream, remember?" Schwoz told him, seeing how Ray was looking everywhere for the girl. He hated being apart from her, but at least he'd be able to enjoy some ice cream when she got back.
"All right, where's Charlotte?" He moved on to the next reasonable person he could ask for an unbiased opinion.
"Oh, she's not here either," Henry reported, dunking another chip in Schwoz's guacamole.
"She's late for work? Great! The one time we're doing something important." He growled, feeling tetchy at how he'd lost and how (y/n) wasn't here to tell him he made great guac. He grabbed a handful of chips and crunched them in his fist before throwing the crumbs on the table. He always was a sore loser.
~Lil' Bikers Shop~
(y/n) had stirred from her unconsciousness, blinking in confusion when she saw that she and Charlotte were in some weird tanks of liquid, in some weird shop. She couldn't remember how she'd got there, only that she'd been getting ice cream for Ray and there had been a magic act in the park and...hey!
"Hey! Hey!" Charlotte shouted at Doctor Minyak as he set up his experiment around them. With the girls captured, all he had to do was brainwash them so they would obey his every command.
"Yes, you have a question?" He asked in a slow tone, focusing on tweaking the machine's controls.
"We have a lot of questions, dickhead!" The older woman growled as she flailed her arms and legs in the purple water. Normally, she'd limit her cursing in front of kids, but she was beyond angry at the situation she found herself in.
"Starting with, who are you, people?" Charlotte added, equally baffled and pissed off.
"And why have you stuck us in these huge tanks of fruit punch?" (y/n) finished, glaring at the man and woman.
"You know who I am and I know that you know that I'm Doctor Minyak because I know that you know Captain Man and Kid Danger. This video proves it!" The doctor rambled on, flicking his video of them in the Man Cave together on the screen.
"Okay, so what do you want from us?" Charlotte asked, knowing that there was no use in denying it since the video showed the Captain Man logo in the Man Cave.
"I want you to destroy Captain Man and Kid Danger." He seethed, clenching his fist at the thought of the heroes that screwed him over last time.
"Oh, yeah, let us out of these fruit boxes and we'll do it right after we get home." (y/n) snarked, trying to give Minyak as much attitude as she could muster.
"What a feisty little thing you are. Oh, I'll release you soon, after I take control of your minds through the use of musical brain-warping." He told them, which amused Charlotte and concerned (y/n).
"Musical brain-warping? That's not a thing." The teen scoffed, thinking the villain was bluffing.
"Yes, it is, which is very bad news for us." (y/n) whispered to her, struggling to get free from the box.
"You see, by playing the right combination of musical chords, combining the keys of F minor and D Flat, backed with the right funky beat, the human mind opens up like a thirsty sponge, into which I can place instructions through clever rap lyrics which I have written myself," Minyak explained, smirking at Nurse Cohort as he bragged about writing a rap song.
"So, you're gonna take control of our brains by rapping?" Charlotte asked, not taking the guy seriously.
"Oh, I won't be rapping, but I've hired the unknown hip-hop artist, Lil Biggie." He snapped his fingers and a little boy came out from the back of the shop. Well, he definitely looked like a rapper.
"Earplugs!" The doctor ordered, so he, his assistant and the boy all plugged up their ears so they wouldn't be affected by the music.
"Now, Lil Biggie. Rap! Let my lyrics flow!" Minyak directed the little boy as he played the musical combination again.
"Get up, go on, get outta this place, go find Captain Man and bust his face. Then take a little walk, don't talk to strangers, then pick up and club and whack Kid Danger. Yeah, little girls, you know the plan. Go smash Kid Danger and Captain Man. Destroy 'em both, then come on back to the songwriter, doctor-doctor Minyak, hee hee!" The boy sang, making (y/n) and Charlotte twitch and convulse as their brains were overtaken. He finished with a little spin, his work complete as the girls were motionless and ready to follow Minyak's every command.
"Where's my 75 bucks?" Lil Biggie asked the doctor, who made Nurse Cohort pay the kid his money.
"So, now that you have taken control of their minds, they're going to go and destroy Kid Danger and Captain Man?" The woman asked her boss as he fiddled with the machinery next to the fruit punch tanks.
"Not yet. First, I must amplify their physical strength." He replied, and switched on the machine, making the purple liquid glow.
"Now, my young friends, I give you both 4.9 million nuclear gigavolts of girl power!" The man chuckled in excitement as the punch started to fizz and bubble. The process made the girls grimace and jerk, but Minyak was too happy to care. His plans had never gotten to this stage successfully and now he was ready to end his enemies once and for all.
~Back in the Man Cave~
With still no sign of (y/n) or Charlotte, Henry, Ray and Schwoz were lounging around the couch, still eating the guacamole.
"Mmm, so good." The boy complimented Schwoz's dip, loving how its zesty flavour worked so well with the chip.
"You see, I mush up the avocado, then I add onions, cilantro, the garlic, and then my secret juices..." Schwoz smiled at Henry, but he had no time to reveal his secret ingredient because the elevator doors opened and the two brainwashed girls stepped out. To give them a more menacing look, Minyak had dressed them in black t-shirts and jeans, a leather jacket each and dark sunglasses.
They walked out silently, their faces void of emotion.
"Charlotte, (y/n)! Glad you're both here! Now, Charlotte, I don't know if you're a guacamole fan and I know (y/n) is, but I made this pretty awesome bowl of my own--" Ray sauntered up the girls so they could try his food. All they could see though was Captain Man walking up to them in a red haze, and their minds were telling them to kill him. Taking the bowl of guacamole from his hands, Charlotte threw it to the side, causing the green dip to smash all over the floor, much to Ray's horror.
"Hey! You don't want to try my guacam--" He was cut off again as (y/n) kneed him in the crotch, making her friend scream from the excruciating pain. If she kept that up, they'd never have any kids. Henry and Schwoz winced at the sight, knowing the agony he was going through. With the superhero not moving, Charlotte grabbed him by the shoulders and used her new super-strength to fling him upwards so he hit the ceiling and then fell back down with a thump.
Ray scrambled to his feet, feeling dizzy from the unexpected attack from his friends of all people.
"I'm okay." He reassured Henry and Schwoz in a strained voice, feeling more hurt by the fact that the woman he loved had attacked him so cruelly than the injuries themselves.
"Uh, guys. Little help here." He walked backwards as the girls stalked towards them, (y/n) going for him and Charlotte aiming for Henry.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Charlotte, what's wrong with you? How come your--" Henry was cut off as the dark-haired girl easily picked him up and threw him across the room. Henry cowered next to the elevator door as he shivered from the fall.
"Okay, Schwoz, you talk to them." He said, not wanting to be hurt again. (y/n) kept walking towards them and her only thought was that she had to destroy Captain Man and Kid Danger. Seeing her approaching, Schwoz yelped and got on the floor, his hands and feet in the air like a dead animal.
"What are you doing?" Ray panicked as (y/n) kept moving. She was his best friend, why would she have any reason to hurt him?
"Shhhh! I want them to think I'm dead." He whispered, but he wasn't their target. The woman walked past his body and cornered Ray.
"Whoa now, (y/n/n), no need to walk toward me." He stammered as he backed into the supercomputer. With nowhere to go, (y/n) grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air with her new strength, his toes dangling as he choked for air.
"(y/n), please, what are you doing?" He groaned hoarsely, wanting to fight back, but he couldn't since he would never be able to bring himself to hurt a single hair on her head.
"Hey, Charlotte, (y/n), you wanna fight someone, come and get me!" Henry opened the door to the elevator with a plan in his head. Seeing their other target on the other side of the room, the girls switched heroes and started to creep towards the teen. Ray gasped for air as his throat was released from her iron grip, but his concern switched to his sidekick since the kid now had both brainwashed girls moving towards him.
"Henry..." He warned him hoarsely, his eyes widening at the danger the boy was in.
"I got it. Come on, come on, yeah.." Charlotte and (y/n) reached out their arms to choke him too, but he was too quick for them and he grabbed their arms and shoved them into the elevator. With the door sliding shut, he turned to Ray and Schwoz, who had only just gotten up from the floor. Coward.
"Hurry. Kill the power to the elevator." He instructed his boss, who swiftly jumped into action and pressed a few buttons on the computer's control panel, trapping the females in the elevator.
"They're in a really bad mood." Henry whimpered as they had a moment to breathe.
"It's worse than that. (y/n) would never hurt us, neither would Charlotte. Something's happened to them. And it's not good." Ray swallowed, his heart aching at the idea of someone torturing or twisting his girl into something she wasn't. His darling (y/n), she would never hurt him, and he swore revenge on the person who had taken her sweetness away from him.
"Well, at least we're safe for a--" Schwoz tried to catch his breath, but the elevator door was suddenly ripped from the wall as Charlotte and (y/n) punched through it. The boys jumped onto the sofa in fear; the assassins were free again. Ray tried throwing some chips to ward them off, but it did nothing.
Being indestructible and completely in love with her, Ray decided he'd be the one to talk to (y/n) as she walked towards the group.
"Now, (y/n), sweetheart---" His honeyed words were lost on her controlled mind. She grabbed the wrist of the hand that he tentatively placed on her cheek and bent in downwards, the funny angle causing him great pain.
"Ow, ow, ow!" He yelled as she squeezed even harder. Charlotte walked forward to grab him, but Henry stopped her before she could kick him down.
"Charlotte, what's happened to you..." Henry's words ran out as he turned her around and yanked off her dark glasses. Her eyes were ruby red, freaking the boy out as they seemed to pierce his soul.
"Ah, geez." He whimpered, so Ray overcame the pain in his arm and took off (y/n)'s aviators, her usually (y/e/c) orbs glowing scarlet. His stomach dropped when she glared at him, making him long to see the radiant smile that she so often gave him.
"Oh, sweetheart, what have they done to you?" He breathed out, feeling guilt sit in his stomach as he got the feeling that this was meant for him. Using his best friend to kill him, how cruel.
"Okay, don't be mad. Do you wanna go get some ice cream or--" Henry tried to calm his friend down, hoping a bribe would work, but his offer went down like a lead balloon. Charlotte grabbed his shirt collar and forced his head into hers, stunning the boy as a dull pain erupted behind his skull. Seeing that Henry needed help, Ray used his superhero strength and prised (y/n)'s fingers from his wrist, trying to avoid blemishing her skin with any bruises.
"Charlotte! Now, you listen to me, right now!" He snapped at the girl, who turned around and gave him her evil stare. Gaining (y/n)'s and Charlotte's attention made Ray back off, his confidence suddenly gone as they switched targets again.
"Or you know what, I'll send you a text!" He screamed as he ran away from them, leading them into the backroom and then into the main one again.
"Schwoz, drop the tubes!!" He cried out as he dashed down the steps, two murderous ladies on his tail.
With (y/n) and Charlotte stood in the perfect spot, Schwoz followed Ray's instructions and lowered the tubes, trapping the girl's in their places. Sprinting over to the tube controls, Schwoz filtered energy into them, causing a blue force field to surround the girls.
"Uh, w--w-what'd you do?" Ray stuttered, still feeling his adrenaline running high.
"I flooded the tubes with neurone neutralising particles." He explained as Henry struggled to overcome his head injury. He'd have a nasty bump in the morning for sure.
"So, they can't move?" Ray asked, hoping his best friend was all right.
"No." Schwoz replied, breathing a sigh of relief.'
"Kid, you okay?" Ray looked at his sidekick, who was still swaying.
"Yeah, I just think I need a--nope." He tried to get steady on his feet, but the room was spinning and his head was throbbing, and he fell over. He groaned in pain on the floor as Schwoz picked up one of (y/n)'s scanners from her toolbox and ran it over the tubes so he could read their vital signs.
He looked at the data on a screen that was showing both of their brain waves, as Ray stood around nervously. Henry finally got to his feet and joined his boss in waiting for the results. Ray couldn't live without (y/n) by his side, so if Schwoz couldn't help them, he wasn't sure what he'd do. A gasp from the little man told him he'd found something, making Ray pale in worry.
"Their brains have been warped!" The genius exclaimed, confusing Henry who had never heard of such a phenomenon. The large man next to him looked at his girl in her tube, his heart breaking as she glared at him. He should've never let her go out alone.
"Warped? How?" Henry asked.
"With music," Schwoz told them, making Ray put a hand over his chest as if the action would make his heart hurt any less.
"You mean, musical brain-warping?" He questioned, even though the answer was pretty self-explanatory.
"I said their brains had been warped by music, what else would I mean other than musical brain-warping?!" He shouted at Ray, who backed off. He was too distressed to fight back, choosing to keep his heartache to himself and wishing that he could just hold (y/n) to his chest so he could protect her from the world and all its evil. If he could just think of a way to help them...
"So, you're saying that there's a song stuck in their brains that's making them wanna hurt me and Ray?" Henry frowned at the thought. To see (y/n) filled with so much hate towards him, Henry knew that Ray must be feeling completely wretched.
"Exactly." Schwoz nodded as an idea popped into his boss's head.
"Hey, is there a way you could extract the song from (y/n) and Charlotte's brains?" He asked the little guy, knowing that he was the only one smart enough to save his helper and the girl.
"Yeah, sure, why?" Something like that was easy-peasy for a genius like Schwoz.
"'Cause if we have the song she heard, we could play it backwards...this is my idea," Ray explained, stopping Henry from saying it at the same time as him. He needed to tell (y/n) that he had been the one to save her and Charlotte, that way she'd be all cute around him and he'd feel like her knight in shining armour.
"I said it first," Henry smirked.
"No, you did not! Who said it first?" The superhero snapped back, looking at Schwoz to back him up.
"Henry." He answered simply, making the boys fall into a fight as Ray tried to grab Schwoz.
"You just want to rescue your girlfriend." Henry giggled as he pulled Ray back, making the man calm down and back off with a red face.
"She's not my girlfriend." He mumbled bitterly. He had moved past the denial stage by now and was certain that he loved her completely. He was also sure that she'd never go for a guy like him, so as always, he repressed his love for her and waited with dread for the day she fell into another man's arms and promised her love to someone else.
"Tell her how you feel and she will be," Schwoz stated in a sing-song voice as he started to search Charlotte and (y/n)'s brains for the song. So many memories.
"Just look for the damn song!" Ray hissed as he grew flustered from their teasing. Tell her? Not a chance.
"Wait, where's the blob?"
"Raymond!"
"Give me a job here!"
"Jerk never showed up."
"Can you find the song in their brains?" Henry asked Schwoz as he flicked through their memories from the past year. So much had happened since then, meaning there was a lot to sort through.
"I'm getting close." The small man said as he zoomed in on a newer memory. Selecting it and playing it louder, the brainwash song began to play in the Man Cave, making the girls' eyes glow an even brighter red.
"Got it." He reported, keeping the song on his PearPad.
"Put it on hologram," Ray instructed him, ready to see what the girls had gone through. A hologram of Lil Biggie appeared in front of the guys, as they stepped back to see what would happen.
"Now, play it backwards." Ray and Henry said together, irritating the other by stepping on each other's words.
Charlotte and (y/n) twitched and convulsed like they had done back in Minyak's hideout out and Lil Biggie rapped in reverse, his words sounding like gibberish.
"Okay, Henry, raise the tubes," Ray told the boy, who took out his remote and said the command. They all leaned back in fear as the backwards rap took effect, they couldn't be sure if this would work or not. Schwoz turned off the track as the lyrics played out, Ray and Henry walking up to the girls as they shook their heads and blinked.
"Charlotte, (y/n), y'all right?" Henry asked them carefully as he and Ray each supported a girl.
"Yeah..." Charlotte slurred, her eyelids still feeling heavy as she tried to walk.
"I don't feel so good--" (y/n) trailed off as the two of them collapsed, their super strength disappearing along with the mind control. They were free but their strength had been sapped by the process, leaving them feeling floppy.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy." Ray quickly scooped his girl into his arms, carrying her bridal style as Henry put Charlotte's arm around his shoulder and helped her to the couch. He had never been so happy to have her with him, her body feeling weightless as he carried her across the room. He sat her down on the couch's back, next to Charlotte as he kept one hand on her shoulder and the other on her cheek so she would look at him in the eye.
"Now, tell us what happened," Ray said to her and Charlotte, making them squint as they tried to remember.
"Well, we were over there, then you guys helped us walk over here..." Charlotte garbled, her brain feeling sluggish.
"To this couch." (y/n) smiled at Ray like she was drunk, thinking that she'd given him the answer he was looking for. She giggled as he gave her a sympathetic look, her dreamy eyes looking at him like he was an angel in front of her.
"No!" Henry groaned, hating how slow the usually intelligent girls were being.
"Sweet girl, before that," Ray whispered, stroking the rough pad of his thumb over her cheekbone, which seemed to ground her as his sweet nickname sunk in. He had never called her that before and it was like a bucket of cold water over her head.
"Oh, it was...what was his name, (y/n)?" Charlotte rubbed her temple as she struggled to get her brain up to its normal speed.
"Oh, uh...Doctor Minyak!!" The woman snapped her fingers as the name illuminated her mind, causing Ray to gaze at her in shock and guilt.
"Yeah, he musically brain-warped us," Charlotte confirmed, as Ray looked away from his friend in shame. His nemesis had done this to her? Because of his hatred of him?
"Doctor Minyak?" Henry gasped.
"And his sidekick Nurse Cohort?" Ray growled as (y/n) put her hand over his, leaning her cheek into his touch. She wasn't used to such tenderness, not from him and she was relishing it.
"Yeah, they, uh, were in a shop." Charlotte shook her head as the details escaped her grasp.
" I think it was some motorcycle shop for kids." The young woman patted her hand from her place on the back of the couch, not wanting the teen to push herself too far.
"Lil Bikers?" Schwoz asked them, lighting up Charlotte's face as she remembered.
"That's it!" She confirmed, making Ray let go of (y/n) and fumble for his gum tube. He was ready to kick Minyak's ass for what he had done.
"Well then. Henry, I think you know what to chew and blow." He told his sidekick who started to chew a piece of gum too.
"I think I do. You mean the gum, right?" The kid asked, just to make sure they were on the same page.
"Yeah, I mean the gum." Ray looked at him like he was crazy.
"Well, I was just checking." The boy quickly said before they transformed into Captain Man and Kid Danger. Schwoz and Charlotte nodded in approval, but (y/n) seemed to be a bit lost in thought.
"Let's go," Ray said to Henry and they ran to the tube area and slapped their belts.
"Wait, wait, wait!" (y/n) suddenly yelled, looking like she'd seen a ghost.
"What?" Ray breathed out, believing she'd remembered something horrific about her experience.
"I dropped the ice cream." She whimpered, recalling how Minyak made her drop their dessert when he grabbed her. Ray chuckled breathlessly at her panic; only she would think she could get into trouble after being kidnapped.
"Sweet girl..." He laughed, making Henry roll his eyes at their interaction.
"Up the tube!" He called out, sending them out of the building before they could be gross again. Left with the girls, Schwoz turned to them so he could spark up a conversation.
"So, you like Taylor Schwift?" He asked them in his thick accent, confusing Charlotte and (y/n).
"Uh, sure," Charlotte said, not really knowing how to respond.
"Schwoz, you know she's my favourite singer." (y/n) knitted her eyebrows together wondering where he was going with this.
"Yeah, lot of catchy songs." He noted, making them nod awkwardly.
"Maybe you could have one of her love songs at your wedding with Ray, sweet girl." Schwoz teased (y/n), him and Charlotte laughing as the woman's mouth dropped open and she fell backwards onto the couch's cushions so she could hide her face. Their teasing was mortifying, yet she couldn't help but let their words spark a fantasy in her head. They continued to giggle and fall into more conversation as she imagined their vows, their first dance, their honeymoon and their promise to love each other forever.
~Lil Bikers shop~
Having forced their way into the motorcycle shop, it was fairly easy for Ray and Henry to subdue Doctor Minyak and Nurse Cohort. Ray was fuelled with rage and let out his anger as he roughly tied the criminals together.
"This is for hurting the woman I love, Minyak." He growled ferociously as he grabbed the doctor's pale face, his fury threatening to break free. He squeezed the villain's jaw with a fierce grip, Henry being too busy with his microphone and the setting up of the music to notice. Minyak let out a small squeak of pain as Ray released his head, the velocity from his hold making his skull go back in Nurse Cohort's. The pair winced in pain, but Captain Man didn't care. In his mind, they were getting everything they deserved.
Stepping up the DJ booth, Ray put in some earplugs with Henry and turned the music up loud. Sauntering up to Minyak and Cohort, Henry held the microphone up to his lips. This was for Charlotte and (y/n).
"Hey, yo, listen up, you're stuck in this place while Kid Danger raps and Captain Man pumps the bass." Henry spat out the lyrics, getting up in their faces as he rapped.
"Yeah, p-p-p-pumping up the bass!" Ray added in the background as he scratched the records.
"We'll turn you loose, here's the plan, whack yourself in the head with a frying pan!" Henry jumped as Ray tried to sound as cool as he did.
"Yeah, frying pan, yeah." He said, missing the beat a little.
"You better listen to what I'm saying and respect my rhymes as whack yourselves in the head, ninety-five times." Henry finished with a high-five from Ray as the music died out.
"Okay, I'll untie them." He told his sidekick as he threw down his headphones and earplugs.
"I'll get the frying pans," Henry added, handing Minyak a red frying pan and Nurse Cohort a black one once they were free from their bonds.
"I wonder if it worked," Ray commented, hoping he could teach them a lesson for messing with his closest friends.
"Yeah, I guess it depends on whether or not the music--" Henry was cut off as they got their answer. The doctor smack the frying pan into his forehead and his assistant did the same, causing the metal to ring loudly after it collided with their skulls.
"See, that's nice." Ray smiled, glad that their plan had succeeded.
"It, really is." Henry sighed with happiness too.
"Y'know, at some point we're gonna have to wipe their brains, so they have no memory of Charlotte or (y/n)." Ray said after they had taken a moment to admire their work as the criminals walked around and whacked themselves with the pans.
"Yeah, then, we should probably take them to jail." Henry agreed, knowing that it was their duty to hand them over to the police.
"You wanna do that now or...?" Ray seemed a bit reluctant to end their fun so quickly.
"Nah, I think we should let them do this for a while." Kid Danger couldn't see any harm in letting them carry on for a bit. Ray agreed, enjoying the sight of Minyak and Cohort too much to let it go so easily.
"So, you've got a new name for (y/n)." Henry introduced the new topic as the villains started to hit each other.
"Wha-so?" Ray spluttered, hoping no one had noticed his pet name for his best friend. He couldn't help but call her that, it was everything he felt for her in two simple words. She was sweet, like honey and sugar, and he craved the rush she always caused in his veins; and she was his girl, the one he wanted with every fibre of his being, but couldn't hold onto for fear of being selfish. She was wonderful and he was...just Ray. The guy who stayed back when she went looking for a boyfriend, the guy who looked for the same kind of feeling with other girls but could never find it. Being Captain Man had never dazzled her as it had with everyone else, so he was just left to be himself around her. A normal guy.
"Earth to Ray. Dude, snap out of it!" Henry waved in his hand in front of the man's face as he spaced out. Must've been dreaming about (y/n) again.
"What?" Ray looked at him in confusion as Minyak and Cohort kept hitting themselves.
"If you think about her that much, ask her out! You never know, she might say yes." Henry almost begged him, tired of seeing his boss and his friend constantly mull over their feelings.
"Just go get the memory-wiper from the Man Van!" Ray instructed him, pushing the suggestion to the back of his mind. Henry groaned in annoyance, but complied, knowing they had to shift the criminals before they went home. Still, he had set a niggling question off in the back of Ray's mind, that had started to slowly work its way to the front of his consciousness.
If he asked, would she be his forever?

『 Thorn & Roses 』 - Chapter 6
Berry Bliss and Business Brilliance
Several days had elapsed, and [Y/N] was now in her second day as the Manager of Mostro Lounge. It was her first time holding such a position, but with Azul's keen intelligence and [Y/N]'s unwavering determination, she was quickly grasping the ins and outs of running the business much faster than anyone had anticipated.
"Here you go, Azul." [Y/N] handed him the meticulously prepared menu for the next two weeks, taking into account the season's weather and focusing on the delightful theme of "Berry Bliss" for the drinks. "And I've also completed the Inventory and Supply Chain Management for this month," [Y/N] continued, displaying her dedication. "After reviewing the past inventory, I noticed that we can optimize the purchasing of certain cleaning supplies by buying in bulk. I reached out to Sam, and he's willing to offer us a discount as well."
While [Y/N] continued her presentation, she brought up another proposal. "I would like to suggest organizing community events for Mostro Lounge and establishing a stronger presence on social media," [Y/N] expressed, presenting her well-organized papers justifying the project. "I spoke with Cater, who has extensive experience as an active social media user, and I've compiled his insights in these documents." Azul couldn't help but be amazed. He already knew that [Y/N] was an exceptional worker, but her remarkable performance in this role exceeded his expectations.
He couldn't help but develop stronger feelings for [Y/N] with each passing moment. "Excellent," Azul said, attempting to conceal his amazement. "I'll examine your proposal and see how we can accommodate your events." In a moment of shyness and in a barely audible tone, he added, "… Sunshine."while trying to maintain his composure. "Would you assist me in studying this year's strategic planning? It would greatly help me if you familiarize yourself with the plan." Azul handed her the paperwork, "Of course! Let me take a look” [Y/N] eagerly grabbed the paperwork to read.
The business was experiencing a slow day, allowing Azul and [Y/N] to have ample space to work together on the Monster Lounge sofa. With a drink in hand and equipped with calculators, paper, and pens, the two of them savoured their time collaborating on their tasks. At moments like this, Azul could not help but to be captivated by [Y/N]'s enchanting features; to him, she embodied perfection in motion. There was a distinct way her eyes radiated with brightness, leaving him mesmerized as he gazed into them. He genuinely admired how her hair always appeared flawless, even on days when she didn't have the chance to style it. The texture of her hair was simply stunning, framing her adorable face in the most beautiful way.
Among all the captivating qualities [Y/N] possessed, the one that truly mesmerized Azul was the radiant glow of her smile. There was a perfect curvature to her lips that made him feel reassured and safe, as if everything would always be okay in her presence.
Caught in [Y/N]'s adorable expression, Azul was momentarily distracted and failed to realize that she had been trying to get his attention. "Oh! Sorry! Can you repeat that?" he quickly responded. [Y/N] chuckled, "Hahahaha~ You were quite distracted there, Azul. I was just asking about this particular point," she said, pointing to the relevant section in the paper.
While Azul was in the middle of explaining the requested point, Jade unexpectedly interrupted, breaking Azul's perfect scene. "Azul," he calmly stated, "the constructors for the Mostro Lounge renovations are already here." Azul paused for a moment, considering the importance of the situation, and made the decision to join the constructors. "I'll join you back in a second, [Y/N]," he said, leaving [Y/N] alone at a separate table, far away from the rest of the staff and clients.
Engrossed in her work, [Y/N] diligently read through the papers and made detailed notes about the task at hand. She kept her mind focused on the important matters that required her attention. Taking a sip from her drink, she felt a momentary pause as her thoughts drifted towards recent events. It had been a few days since she last heard the cryptic message, "please acknowledge me." The lingering question of what these occurrences meant and why they were happening began to weigh on her mind.
There was always the possibility of dismissing these strange auditory experiences as mere exhaustion or anxiety-related symptoms from her involvement in numerous overblot incidents. Or … someone could genuinely be trying to communicate with her. Contemplating these possibilities, she turned around to survey her surroundings, searching for any signs of people nearby. Finding no one in proximity, she made a decision. "If someone is truly trying to reach me," she murmured, "give me a sign." With bated breath, she sat there, enveloped in anticipation, waiting for any indication.
Seconds stretched into what felt like hours as she fixed her gaze on the table, waiting for something to move or provide a sign. Every fiber of her being was attuned to the slightest movement or change. Just as she began to expect a headache, a hand gently rested on her shoulder, causing her to jump in surprise. Startled, she looked up to find Floyd standing beside her, wearing an amused expression. "Shrimpy~ Did I startle you? " He mockingly expressed.
With a nervous laugh, [Y/N] responded, "Ahahahaha, Floyd, I was just contemplating this document on Sustainability and Responsible Practices, so yes, I did get surprised". Floyd gazed at her with an indifferent expression, showing no interest in the document's content. "Well," he began, "the construction crew will be occupied for a while, Azul said you could leave for the remainder of the shift." As he ran his hand through his hair, Floyd casually delivered the message.
[Y/N] briefly locked eyes with Floyd and expressed gratitude for the information, acknowledging her appreciation for leaving work a few hours earlier. "Let me escort you home, Shrimpy~" Floyd declared, offering assistance with [Y/N]'s belongings. Unbeknownst to [Y/N], as they set off on their journey towards the Ramshackle dormitory, they failed to notice the formation of water droplets from their chilled beverage, spelling out the word "Here."
_______________________________________________
Certainly a brief chapter, but allow me to convey that this marks the beggining of the Azul Ashengrotto x reader narrative tag in this ongoing project 🐙
Another romance involving [Y/N] will be introduced as the story unfolds, but details about that will be revealed later, hehe~

perfectionist, not. sae itoshi
chapter six - sparkly small things
it has been official, three months of solid dating, we decided to stay in Japan, our hometown. and of course, he just played against Blue Lock. although his team lost, i was proud of him, but because Bachira was there too, i had to support my bestie!
we now lived in a small apartment around Tokyo, it does seem strange, for two famous footballers to live in something like that and not a fancy mansion, but, it was enough, it was filled with plushies and comfort.
since i promised him some cup noodles and snacks after the match, we found ourselves sitting by the sea side, listening to each other's melodies.
"hey, Sae! look!" i pointed up at the puffy clouds, which looked like a heart, he hummed in response, munching on his mochi with puffed cheeks.
"look at that one." he pointed, saying between bites. that cotton candy looked like a smiley face, "want some?" he asked, handing me the packet of matcha and red bean mochi. "yay!" i smiled and thank him, chewing on the sweet.
"yummmm!" kicking my legs and smiled, seeing me like this, he couldn't help but to return the smile, glancing at her side profile.
"i love you." he said out of a sudden, his warm hands placed on top of mines. "i lub you more!" i argued, the mochi was still in my mouth.
"i love you the most." he fought back, chuckling while wiping some flour off the corner of my lips. "i lub you over the mooon and back and to the suunn and then to the... uhmmm..." i pout in thought, to win over him, i pecked his lips but he held the back of my neck, staying in the position.
his mouth was filled with sweetness, the red bean paste with the matcha filling was still lingering in his lips.
we parted when i giggled, swallowing the last bits of mochi. enjoying each other's company in silence, watching the yellow orb slowly disappearing in everyone's view.
゜
as promised, tonight will be a movie night to make it a rememberable one. we had our sanrio character soft plushies surrounding us with a warm, comfy blanket.
what did we watch? The Little Mermaid.
the point was just to compare him with Ariel, they both had red hair and greenish turquoise orbs, what could be different? except for their gender...
then, he literally switched the movie to smurf to compare them with my azure hair... MEANIE! we continued to chit chat about random things.
oh, how small things can light humans up.
interesting, isn't it?
now, i just realised, no one is a perfectionist, no one is built perfect.
not even Itoshi Sae, deep inside, he is just a small child, he was just someone who happens to have skill and talent in football, even he was a clumsy dummy.
so this story wasn't about a perfectionist falling for a klutz.
it's a klutz falling for another more idiotic klutz.
even Itoshi Sae, is a perfectionist, not really, nah.
just like the lover of his life.
'oh, stop calling us klutz already!'
alright then, bluehead and redhead.
𝐟𝐢𝐧.
