This was bad, very bad.
Henry still hadn't shaken off the effects of that mind control crap. Captain Man had to take care of the teen robbers by himself, (Charlotte liked to refer to them as Bonnie and Clyde)
He'd called Charlotte and said he had the kids in custody. When she told him about Henry's condition, he demanded the teens tell him how to fix it.
However, they claimed that they'd called off the effect, and that usually it wore off by then. In other words, there was a problem.
Ray didn't want to leave it there. He wanted to pressure them for more info, surely knew something.
But Charlotte, being the ever logical of the group, knew that the teens wouldn't have wanted to cause themselves more trouble. They'd sounded too scared on the phone.
She told Captain Man that she'd have the problem solved by tomorrow. She told him to get some rest.
And hung up the phone in his face.
That simply left the problem that she didn't know how to solve it.
Henry's father had called and said that he, Piper, and Jasper were staying overnight at the hospital. She didn't ask and he didn't tell, but that was one less problem to worry about.
1 hour later, the girl had tried everything in the book. Knocking pans together, slapping him, telling him Chloe wanted to go on a date, telling him his identity had been revealed, everything.
She didn't know what else to do. He almost looked as if he were ready to drool.
Then an idea hit her.
It was a risky, stupid idea, though probably not in the way you think. Charlotte would be risking her friendship.
But she'd rather have that than have Henry brain-dead. He meant to much to her.
So, she threw caution to the wind and went through with her plan.
She kissed him.
She didn't know how long. But before she knew it, he was kissing back, his hand gripping her hair.
Once she realized that he was OK (And she remembered where she was) She pulled away.
And they stared at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Charlotte, did you-"
"Mm-mm!" She mumbled before running out of the door. This was something to be dealt with another time.
Probably sooner than she'd want.
