Hello everyone! Here's the next chapter. Just a quick reminder: My exams fall between June 12 to June 29. In the worst case, you'll get the next chapter in July - if not, then it'll be mid or end June. So you'll have to wait a bit longer this time around. But before we go there, here ar my replies to your reviews:

Anomaly90: Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, they're no fun for the readers, I know (but they're incredibly fun to write). Hey, at least it's not as bad as the Mark of Athena cliffhanger. (I don't consider it as bad as that one, anyway)

Emc Superbionics: I know, right? I totally love the side characters and I feel like Brad's story just... I'll just be really glad if he reappears again, even if it's just for one episode. There's so much you can do with an invisible man who just so happens to know their secret identities. (I may even write a Brad one-shot soon) Thanks for reviewing!

CaptainMansBabyGirl: That's June Belcher, my OC, who's been here from the very beginning. Go take a look at chapter 1, she's already there. Haven't you noticed?

sarah: Here's not just the next chapter, but the climax. Thanks for reviewing!

Enjoy!

Henry stared at the screen, perplexed, looking at one particular line in June's criminal record: her family. Brad Belcher (brother) was listed as 'dead', referring to the empty grave in the graveyard after successfully faking his own death. He leaned back again.

"Invisible Brad has a sister?" he asked, as if he couldn't wrap his head around the idea that another Belcher, just as dangerous, was walking around freely and had effectively wrapped Ray around her finger.

James nodded in response. "He sure does."

Henry turned his head away from the screen and looked at James. "Did you know this?" He needed to know whether James could have been able to make the connection earlier. If so, why didn't he? It really was hard and kind of annoying to argue about it with someone who's memory wasn't working as well as it should.

James shrugged. "Brad mentioned it once or twice, but I've never really had the chance to meet her." To Henry's big surprise, James was talking about Brad as if he actually knows him. He was about to ask the time traveler, but he added one last line, shrugging. "Either way, we've got to be really careful."

"Yeah," Henry said, nodding in agreement, "Brad's dangerous." He couldn't help but to think about the days that Brad tried to bully him into quitting and to the time he locked him into a grave. His encounter with the invisible man had not been pleasant at all.

James turned his head to Henry, looking at him in confusion. "I was talking about June," James said, "Have you seen her crimes? She's a freakin' murderer!"

Henry then took a look at the list of June's crimes. Even though she appeared to be young, she nevertheless has a lot of crimes on her name. Even though she too was responsible for some thefts and minor offences, she was mostly associated with the murders of some rich men. She had married them for their money and effectively inherited it when they passed away. She had gotten away with it for a couple of times, pinning the murders on other people. She never expected her latest victim to survive her attack. with him as a witness, she was sent to prison, until she escaped. The file said nobody knew what was going on. One guard described the break-out as if she had suddenly developed telekinetic powers. A floating set of keys, comically flying through the air, was caught on camera, helped her get out.

"Char, can you track him?" James asked her while Henry was quickly reading through the details.

"Already on it," she replied. Within seconds, June's criminal record disappeared from the screen and was replaced with the tracking software on the computer. When James turned his head to Henry again, the boy was perplexed again.

"I put a tracker on Ray's gum tube," he explained. Henry still stared at him, as if to say 'why?', so James continued talking. "You can never be too sure of something, right? You should be glad I did it, because how else would we know where Ray is?"

"Found him!" Charlotte exclaimed, drawing the attention of the two men. "He's at 64 Sondheim Avenue." The two looked at the screen and confirmed that that was the exact address where Ray was supposed to be: in the eastern part of town. Or where he left his gum. Let's hope he still has it with him.

Then, in near-perfect synchronization, Henry and James turned around and went straight to the tubes. Henry raised an eyebrow when he noticed James' reaction. "You're coming?" he asked.

James sighed loudly. "Yes, I'm coming, too, Henry," he said, "I'm capable of defending myself, y' know. Also, I have this." James took a taser from out of his pocket, switching it on for a brief second to let Henry know it was fully functional. "You have your toys, I have mine."

Henry nodded. He wasn't doubting James at all – he was just commenting on something he already thought would happen. Him nodding was already enough for James.

"Let's go," James said, placing himself in one of the tubes to leave. He grew a bit impatient, though, since Henry first had to blow a bubble to transform into Kid Danger. At long last, they were ready to leave.

"Be careful!" Charlotte said, as a way of wishing them good luck, looking at them.

"Sure things," James replied, flashing her a big smile. Of course she was talking to him. Henry's done this countless of times before, but this was the first and only time she would see the future Jasper engage in a fight. She had nothing to worry about, though – his taser has saved lives before.

"Up the tube!"

When they finally found the apartment where June had taken Ray hostage, and kicked the door in. they rushed in through the small hallway and soon stood in the living room. June jumped up from her position and Ray was lying on the couch, hopefully not dead yet, though suspiciously non-moving and unconscious.

"Step away from him!" Henry yelled at her and June obeyed, taking a few steps back. James immediately went up to Ray t check his pulse.

"Kid Danger!" June said, looking confused, "What's going on?" She seemed genuinely worried about the situation, but Henry was not taking any chances with her. He placed himself strategically between June and Ray, so she couldn't try anything funny with him without passing him first. He quickly glanced over to James and Ray, only allowing him to take a look away from June for one moment.

James sighed in relief. "He's breathing." Henry released the breath he'd been holding and now focused all of his attention to June. Knowing how dangerous she was and still is, he did not want to take his eyes off of her for even a second.

"What did you do to him?" He asked her, furious with her yet trying to restrain himself – it wouldn't help if he crossed a line. She didn't answer the question and tried to keep up her act. However, before Henry could repeat the question, he heard a loud thud from behind him. He turned his head to the source of the noise. He was just in time to watch James fall to the ground. The very next seconds, the floating baseball bat that seemed to have knocked James out stopped floating and hit the floor next to the unfortunate victim.

Henry's eyes widened. Brad's here. Stupid! Why hadn't they thought of the possibility of him actually being with her before? he should have noticed, though, he should have made the connection. After reading June's file, he should've known she wouldn't just pick a simple store owner as her next target if she didn't have a motive.

Before Henry could do anything, June grabbed his arm and didn't let go. He then took her arm and tried to squeeze himself out of it, but she held him so tightly it was impossible to escape. He was pulling, trying to free himself, expecting a second pair of hands to grab him at any given moment, though he focused more on escaping from June than finding out where Brad was.

Then, she let go. Henry stumbled backwards but he stood firmly on his feet. For one distracting moment, Henry was confused and tried to understand her reasoning. During that moment, a rope seemingly had come to life and decided to tie him up, tying his arms around his waist. June wasn't telekinetic, as the prison guards had wrongly assumed, but Brad was in the room and now was doing something he probably would have wanted to do for a very long time.

Henry took a few steps away, in an attempt to get away and break free. But the rope pulled him back. "No, no!" the disembodied voice said as Henry stumbled back towards it, "You are staying right where you are."

"Brad," Henry finally grumbled his name. He did not like to be at the mercy of this old bully at all.

"Henry," the invisible man replied, "I'd say it's nice to see you again, but I don't like you." With those last words, he pulled the rope a bit tighter, hurting Henry a bit.

In the meantime, June had brought a chair from the kitchen to the living room, which she placed on the ground. Brad pushed Henry to the chair and forced him to sit in it. He then proceeded to tie Henry to the chair as well, so the sidekick really had little to no chance of escaping.

June took a step back and admired the work she and her brother had done. Brad was still standing behind Henry, leaning heavily upon the chair – Henry could feel his breath in his neck, which was very unpleasant.

"Okay," Brad said from behind him, "What do we do now?"

"We continue as planned," June said, folding her arms.

"I was talking about the kid," Brad said in a monotone voice. Henry thought Brad was glaring at him, as he felt like he was staring down at him.

June rolled her eyes. "One problem at a time, Brad." She sounded annoyed.

"So, what are you going to do?" Henry said, in a bold move to figure out their motives – because what else was there to do for him in this sticky situation?

"To you, you little brat? Nothing… yet" Brad said. his disembodied voice moved while he spoke, going from behind to right in front of Henry. He'd rather not imagine how close Brad's face was to his own.

"Don't," June said in a demanding tone. She was looking at Brad, no doubt, even if she only could guess where he was when she said it.

"I wasn't going to do anything," Brad said in response, finally moving away from Henry a little. "Geez, calm down, June. I know what I'm doing."

"Really?" June raised an eyebrow and looked at him, for as far as that was possible.

"Yes!" Brad exclaimed almost immediately, almost in a childish way, "Yes, I know what I'm doing." The voice moved further away from Henry, closer to June. "I mean, who irritated the brat? Who stole those drugs from Drill Finger, huh? And who—"

If there was anything else Brad had wanted to confess, Henry would never know about it. June had decided to interrupt him by slapping him in his face. Though she could have had no idea how close he was to her, it was effective. The impact of the hand on his face could be heard, and his groaning afterwards further proved she managed to do it.

"And now you are going to behave like the adult you are," she told him in a stern way.

"Fine," Brad said in response, sounding a bit irritated by this situation. It had to be a long time someone hit him like that.

"Are you going to kill me?" Henry then asked the two. The longer they talked, the longer he had to come up with a plan to get out of this situation. So far, he didn't have any plan, so extra time would be nice.

"No." June shook her head before pointing at Ray, "I'm going to kill him. then I'm going to kill your friend. And you have the privilege to watch and suffer."

"And I will laugh my butt off and hope it won't end too soon," Brad added. Henry, for a good reason, could imagine him looking at Henry, arms folded and a grin on his face.

"Well, joke's on you," Henry said, "You can't kill him. He's indestructible, remember?" Had they really not learned anything from the news? Did they really not think this through? As long as he doesn't get into contact with tears from the jolly beetle, he is indestructible. Or maybe they already given him some tears and were waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Oh, yes we can," June said. Henry's heart skipped a beat, his thoughts immediately going to the tears. June walked over to the couch, on which Ray was still sleeping, and grabbed one of the pillows. Only then, Henry stepped away from jolly beetles and finally thought of an easier way to get rid of a superhero. He hoped, wished that Ray would get up now and stop her. unfortunately, he still did not move.

June smiled at Ray and stroked his face one last time. "Goodnight, Captain Man," she said with a sweet voice and then, the pushed the pillow in Ray's face.

Henry yelled "No!" as loudly as he could, unable to turn his head away from the scene. This prompted him to try and escape from the rope and the chair, but it wouldn't budge. As he was too caught up trying to escape, he almost missed the action in front of him.

James, having woken up, hit June in the back of her head with the baseball bat Brad had used to knock him out. June fall to the ground and relieved pressure from the pillow. It remained on Ray's face, but nobody was cutting of his air supply now.

Rather quickly, Brad stepped into action, grabbing the bat and easily pulling it out of James' hands. He pointed it at the man in the trench coat.

"You make one move, you're gonna get it again," Brad said, and the pillow was pushed down on Ray's face again.

"I'm this close to getting what I want!" Brad exclaimed, "I'm not going to let you ruin my chance to—"

James took his taser while Brad ranted and shot the invisible man. Because he was still talking, he could easily be targeted and the taser hit its target. Brad fell on the ground and didn't immediately get up; neither did June.

As soon as Brad hit the ground, James let go of his weapon, looking at the results with shock. Henry suspected James never had to use that taser before. James did seem to shrug it off quite easily, as he then proceeded to walk towards Henry. In silence, he began untying the sidekick.

"James…"

"I'm fine," he said, almost automatically, never looking up at him. Within a short amount of time, Henry was free once again. Henry rubbed his arms where the ropes bound him to the chair. This time, it'd been tighter than any other time he'd been captured.

"Thanks for helping out," Henry eventually said, extending his hand to shake James'. The time traveler did not accept it, but he did give Henry the ropes he'd been tied up with and smiled softly at the sidekick – it was a forced smile, he noticed.

"Would you like to do the honors?" James glanced at June and the electrodes still attached to Brad's invisible body. Henry nodded and walked to Brad, tying him up to his sister with the rope. James only helped minimally, helping Henry place the siblings back-to-back so they could be tied together.

Though, when Henry was almost done tying them up, he heard a door shut and when he looked around the room, he saw that James had left.

He secured the rope and once he was certain they could not get away, he went after James.
