No POV
"Henry, are you saying what I think you're saying?" Mr. Hart wanted to clarify.
"Yes, I'm saying that I am Kid Danger." Henry clarified, nervous to how they might react.
"Prove it!" Piper demanded. Henry rolled his eyes.
"I just showed you the ManCave. Only Captain Man and Kid Danger would know where the ManCave is." Henry pointed out.
"True, but…" She was at a loss for words, until…
"I had a crush on Kid Danger, but this whole time he was YOU?! That's messed up!" Piper exclaimed.
"Yeah, try being on the receiving end of that." Henry shuddered. Before anything else could be said or done, Ray walked out of the sprocket door into the ManCave.
"Hey Henry, Henry's family." He greeted.
"Hey Ray. Henry says that he is Kid Danger, is that true?" Mrs. Hart asked. Ray sighed.
"Yes, it's true. And I'm Captain Man." He informed.
"And to prove it…" Henry picked up a bat that was conveniently just leaning up against the wall, and looked at Ray.
"May I?" He asked. Ray nodded.
"Go ahead." Henry swung the bat, breaking it over Ray's head, as he flinched in pain.
"I'm okay!" Ray shouted his famous Captain Man catch phrase.
"You are Captain Man!" Piper exclaimed.
"Yeah. You know I hired Henry almost 2 years ago now, but now you know that I hired Henry to be my sidekick because I needed some help. I needed someone who is younger, brave, and had great fighting skills, who is also reliable, trustworthy, and has a sharp eye. Henry has all of those qualifications, and he's the best sidekick I've ever had." Ray explained.
"Thanks Ray," Henry smiled at the compliments.
"But why didn't you tell us?" Mr. Hart asked Henry.
"I really wanted to tell you, a long time ago, but I took an oath. I promised never to tell anyone without Ray's permission, because if this secret got into the wrong hands, it could become dangerous for all of us." Henry explained.
"We're proud of you honey." Mr & Mrs. Hart told him, but it was the words from his sister that surprised him the most.
"I'm proud of you too Henry." She stated. Henry smiled.
"Thanks." He replied proudly. Before anything else could be said or done, they all heard screams followed by a loud thud, as the elevator door slid open. Henry's friend Charlotte walked out, while his other friend Jasper was lying on the floor.
"Why must that thing be so fast?" He breathed.
"You'll get used to it eventually." Henry assured as Jasper stood up and dusted himself off as he walked over to the couch.
"Hi Mr & Mrs. Hart, Piper." Jasper greeted, but then he stopped in his tracks, as Charlotte slowly turned around.
"Wait, Mr & Mrs. Hart?! PIPER?!" Jasper screamed.
"Henry, why is your family here?!" Charlotte panicked. Henry opened his mouth to answer her, but then Ray chimed in.
"Don't worry, I gave him permission to bring them down here and tell them everything because they deserve to know." Ray explained.
"She was asking me." Henry pointed out. Ray just shrugged.
"Oh, okay." Charlotte went back to her work. Suddenly, a short man in coveralls walked into the room, singing Taylor Swift, until he noticed everyone.
"Oh, hi guys!" He greeted.
"Hey Schwoz. You remember my family right? You know, green fingers, and you also crashed through our roof during a storm?" Henry reminded.
"Wait, that was him?" Piper asked. "Yeah. Anyway Schwoz this is my family; my mom, my dad, and my little sister Piper. Everyone, this is Schwoz, he's our repairman. He built everything here in the ManCave." Henry introduced Schwoz to his family, and his family to Schwoz, as they waved to each other. Ray already told him that Henry'd be bringing his family here, so he was already up to speed with the story.
"So who else knows about this?" Mr. Hart asked.
"Just everyone here in this room, as well as Gooch and Bork upstairs. And you can't tell anyone! We have to keep this between us!" Henry warned.
"Don't worry, we will keep it a secret." Piper assured. Despite her slight anger issues and social media obsession, she was actually good at keeping secrets, just like her brother.
"Good. Now we should try to figure out who kidnapped us." Henry reminded.
"Yes, we fear the villain(s) might have taken you because they know you are connected to Kid Danger and Captain Man, so we have to find them before they find us." Ray explained.
"Yes, we've got to find him… or her… or them! Charlotte added.
"Can you scan the warehouse and the area around it to check for any suspicious activity?" Henry asked her.
"Sure can." She replied, as she turned back to the computers.
"Okay, while Charlotte is doing that, do you want a tour of the place? Piper, I know you've already had a tour, but still, want one?" Henry asked.
"Sure." His family replied simultaneously. Henry started by showing them more around the main room first. He showed them the computers, how the couch spins, the tubes, the sprocket, and the secret door. Then he showed them the basement where they store stuff including the Molecular Densitizer that made Captain Man indestructible. It also made Kid Danger indestructible, but he had a side effect of laughing fire. Luckily, they were able to fix that before it became too problematic. Next, Henry showed them the laboratory, bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry room, which was added since Ray did live there.
"I have one question. When I won the tour of this place the first time, why did Kid Danger… you, look and sound so different?" Piper wondered.
"Oh, well that's because I had to have Schwoz disguise my face and voice so I wouldn't be recognized." Henry explained.
"Oh, makes sense." Piper replied.
"Okay, now let's…" Henry started to say something, but then he was interrupted by an alarm.
"What's that!?" Piper covered her ears.
"That's the emergency alarm! Come on!" Henry motioned for them to follow him. They went back to the main room, where Charlotte and Ray were looking at the computers. Jasper was up at Junk N' Stuff behind the counter now, and Schwoz was in the lab working on, well whatever he was working on. None of them really knew what it was yet.
"What's the situation?" Henry asked.
"There's a robbery in progress at the jewelry store on Auradon Avenue, called… Bejewelled." Charlotte informed him.
"So you know what to do Henry." Ray said as he grabbed his gumball tube.
"Yes I do. Let's blow and go!" Henry responded as he did the same. He looked at his family.
"There's one more thing I've been wanting to show you." He informed them.
"What?" They asked simultaneously.
"This." Henry replied as he and Ray stepped under the tubes. They both blew bubbles at the same time, and two seconds later, Captain Man and Kid Danger appeared in their places.
"Whoa, that was awesome!" Piper exclaimed.
"I know right?" Henry replied as the tube came down over him.
"Careful honey! Love you!" Henry's mom reminded him. Henry sighed and blushed from slight embarrassment.
"I will. Love you too!" He stated. Ray was smiling.
"Anyway, do you want to call it?" He asked.
"Sure. UP THE TUBE!" Henry called, as he and Ray disappeared up the tubes.
"I still can't believe that I had a crush on Kid Danger, but this whole time he turned out to be my brother!" Piper exclaimed.
"I tried to tell you, but I couldn't say anything more than you don't want to be saying that." Charlotte informed, as she turned back around to continue searching for their next villain.
