Ray knew that Henry was acting weird for no wonder how many weeks. He suspect that it was after the break, he asked his parent and his sister if he had been acting out lately and to his surprise, no one knew about Henry's actions.
Henry was pretty good at hiding things, Ray used to peek in Hart's house, of course, he stole Henry's mom's photo. Whatsoever, he noticed that he is gone, not sleeping on the bed. Ray was confused at first, he called Jasper and his friends to see any trace of Henry and no one knew.
No one knew where he went.
Ray drowned down his soda, wondering why he would skip his nighttime sleep and hang out somewhere in the middle of the night. Ray watching Henry and Jasper playing with a weird game.
"Schwoz! Get over here! School!" He whispered yelling, motioning to Schwoz as he grab his arm.
"What is it, Ray? I'm trying to play a game with them! It was fun!" Schwoz laughed when Jasper tripped himself. Weird game of rope ball.
"Something is going on about Henry." Ray stared at Herny's back as Schwoz looked at him and then Henry than to him.
"What about him?" Schwoz asked.
"You know the other night that I told you, right? Maybe this time I feel like Henry is skipping his night sleep and going out. His family and even his sister didn't know about it."
"Oh, well you could s-"
"I'm going to spy on him!" Ray yelled as the duo turned around.
"You stole my word!"
"Hush, Schwoz! Umm, I meant Drex. Yeah, Drex!" He laughed, moving to the control panel and taking a seat. The duo ignored him and continues to play the rope ball.
"How are gonna do that?"
"First, remember you put the camera in Henry's room, right?" Schwoz confirmed, shaking his head, "We are going to keep a good eye on him, if he is out then I'm going to follow him, and boom! That's a truth!"
"Well good luck finding him, I cannot use his tracker anymore." Schwoz went back to Henry and Jasper, all tied up on the floor.
"I will find you Kid." He muttered, punching a fist on the monitor.
"Dude, you good?" Henry questioned at his weird action.
"Oh yeah, you know I'm always feeling okay." He smiled, kissing his fist.
"Um, okay, I'm outta here."
"Where?" He asked, standing up to face Henry.
"Home," Henry turned around, picking up his backpack and he was gone.
"That's a lie, Kid!" Ray screamed, kicking Jasper's butt when Schwoz tried to cut the rope with a scissor.
Until it was windy nighttime, Ray parked his car, an unused car by the opposite of Hart's house. He looked at the mirror, admiring his perfect face. He looked at the window where Henry's room is, nothing reveal anything that he hasn't come out of. He probably knew Henry was watching his surroundings carefully.
Ray groaned as he slide down, feeling the boredom filling in the air which made him tired. He cants go to sleep and miss his investigation. Ray slapped himself and look at his window for who knows how many times. He getting exhausted but he argued that no superheroes cant go sleep or take a rest and cant take vacation days.
Ray was about to give up until Henry open the window, dressed in his superhero suit. Henry looked around his surroundings and got down, and hid the bush. Ray watched him carefully as Henry hung up from someone and avoided the streetlights. Ray was raging inside, he was mad and who wonder to call Henry during the night at 2 in the morning? He chewed his gumball aggressively and blew it. Now Henry is a little farther, Ray carefully opens the door and closes it gently to avoid the sound.
Ray pretends to patrol the town and follow him at much distance he can. Henry feel that something was weird, he turns around and nothing was there. He thoughts it was probably some scary animals looking for food. He continues to walk in his direction to the city. Ray got out of the bushes, pulling the raccoon off of him and not to worry that rabies doesn't affect him. He follows him to the city, why city?
Ray kept on following him, carefully hiding at the pole and the roads signs to keep him out of Henry's view.
Ray found the bushes and hid there for a few moments and see that Henry was taking down the ladder from the building and climbing up. Ray was curious, Henry didn't do wrong but he was going up at the building then that idea came to his mind. Ray shook his head, he is meeting someone up there.
He got out of the bushes, he climb the ladder step-by-step until he reaches the top. Ray took a peek to see that Henry was texting someone. Then a figure from the other side of Ray climbed up and kiss Henry.
"How are you doing?" Henry asked, moving her strand of braids behind her ear.
"Doing amazing, baby." She giggled, Ray gasped quietly which he knew the voice.
KID DANGER MEETING WITH DR.DARKNESS!?!?
Confused, speechless, and not knowing what to do. Ray was beyond mad, he climbed over the building and met them.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Ray screamed toward Dr.Darkness.
"Dude? This is not-" Ray cuts him off.
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to her." He growled at Charlotte who was beyond nervous and pissed.
"I was just telling a plan." She whispered evilly.
"You didn't even tell me a plan. What-" Henry was once cut off again.
"What plan are you talking about!?" Ray tried to arrest her as Henry took his arm and pushed away.
"Dude, leave it alone!" Henry wanted to say his name but he can't risk losing his identity.
"Dr.Darkness made you being with her side? Alright, fine. So, this is where you have been going on during the night? Tell me, Henry...why?"
"You will never understand, Ray. She is not a bad person and-"
"You told her my name! Look at her! She's Dr.Darkness! She's a bad guy and we're good ones, are you abandoning me, Henry?"
"I would never do that!" Henry swore, he accidentally called his name while Dr.Darkness just stood there, feeling bad about Henry.
"Then why are you here with her? No of this would happen!" Captain Man gritted, face to face with Henry.
"I don't care, Ray, Dr.Darkness is something, I can't explain to you," Henry replied, taking out his Gumball tube and taking one out and putting it in his safe pocket then handling it to Ray.
"That answered my question, you're fired. I would wish I never see your face anymore." Ray snatched the tube out of his hand.
"Nice knowing that you just fired him, I will be keeping him." She smirked as she held his hands.
"When I see you again, I will put you in jail. This isn't the right time cause of Henry. Yeah, I'm saying your name out loud!" Ray laughed manically, stepping away from them. Once he is calm, he took a step over the ladder and give his ex-sidekick a final look.
"Let me tell your best friend and your sister about this. They gotta be mad. Goodbye Henry." He explained, stepping down the ladder.
Henry sat down, unable to speak, and tried to process what was happening. Charlotte sat beside him and pat his back for confronting.
"I'm sorry for your loss, this is my fault." She stood out and walked away from him.
"Charlotte, this isn't your fault." Henry tried to confront her however she backed away.
"If we haven't met in the first place, none of this would happen!" Charlotte cried as she climbed down the ladder and ran away.
Henry got on his knee, he regret meeting her and she was his first friend and boyfriend. He can't let her down on that, he would hate himself.
Once for all, he will talk to her yet he knew that she need some time to figure it out.
Henry will talk to her tomorrow. Tomorrow.
