Chapter 5: Joseph's Concern.

Joseph sat in the living room, waiting for his mom to come back from crime fighting so they could play video games.

"Man, she should've been back by now." Joseph said before he heard the front door open. He looked in excitement, only for it to turn to horror when he saw Smoky Wolf had a couple of tears in her costume, each one showing a bleeding cut, especially in both of her arms, which were badly torn and showed blood running down her arms from a cut at the top of each one.

"Hey, Joseph." Sarah said cheerfully before she winced in pain.

"Mom! What happened to you?!" Joseph asked as he rushed over.

"I had a tough fight. That gangster was more decked out with weapons than I thought he was." Smoky Wolf said before she limped to her bed and took off her mask as she laid down.

"Is there anyway I can help you?" Joseph asked.

"No, I'll be fine. I think I need to just lie down for a bit, then get some medicine to treat my wounds." Sarah said before she fell asleep. Joseph frowned before he went to go get the peroxide and cotton swabs and bandages. He put them beside her bed and went to go play video games.

"Man, I can't believe Mom got hurt that bad. Imagine if I was with her. It might've been a lot different. Man, I wish there was a way to become Howler again!" Joseph said, banging his fist on the floor in frustration.

Suddenly, he got an idea.

"That's it!" Joseph said before he wrote a note and headed to the Parr House.
