"We good, Dex?" Peter whispered to Dex, which snapped him back to reality. Dex looked around and took in the moment. It had just turned midnight, and no one had been around the Hall of Justice for hours. Dex and Peter were perched up in the trees maybe two hundred meters from the main doors, out of the camera's sight.
"Sure, but let's take a minute to go over the plan one more time, okay?"
Peter groaned and leaned back on the branch that he sat on. He had it between his legs so he wouldn't fall.
"Shut up and just go through it with me again, Peter. I'm only doing this crap because you wanted me to. I don't want to look stupid if we get busted. We could go to jail , and-"
"Okay Dex! Just go through it one more time," He said, mocking Dex. He shuffled around his black backpack and pulled out three different sheets of paper.
"Okay," Dex said, laying out the first sheet. "This is the layout of the building. I've remembered it, thanks to my photographic memory."
"How did you even get these?" Peter looked up at him.
"All I did was hack one of the main computers, no biggie." Dex said, his smile fueled by pride. He looked at the sleek and tight black suits that peter bought them over the Internet. After hours of wearing it in the winter weather, you would tend to get cold. Dex laid out the next sheet of paper. It was the same as the first, except black dots were in certain parts.
"Now, you've got your bow, right?" Dex questioned. Peter rolled his eyes and held it up.
"You knew I had my bow, we've already gone through the plan seven times."
"Not what I asked." Dex huffed. "Now, your job is to use the special arrows I made you to not hit the camera, but hit the rim of it. Now, the arrows-"
"Let out a special electromagnetic force that wires back to your pen pad so you can hack the camera's imagery and view. I got that. Next." Peter interrupted. Dex rolled his eyes and pulled his pen pad.
"Now, I'm always going to have my pen pad on me, because I did some special adjustments to it so it will stay on my arm." Dex said, laying out the final sheet. "Which brings us to this."
Peter raised his eyebrows and squinted at the sheet of paper.
"I've seen this paper eight times now and it still trips me out. What is it?"
"See? It does help to go over the plan eight times. Now, this isn't something you need to remember. I'm sure you couldn't even if you needed to. It's thousands of codes that might help me get into the system faster. Kind of like a study guide."
"Man, why aren't we super hero's? We're seventeen and breaking into the hall of Justice!" Peter exclaimed.
"Shut up you idiot! We aren't trying to wake all of Metropolis, especially Superman."
"Chill out Dex, there'll be no problem with Superman. There hasn't been a single sighting or a sign of anyone from the Justice League in months. We're fine. It;s security we're getting past, not the league."
Dex rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, let's do this. Let's find out what happened to the justice league."
