Beep. Beep. Beep. Charlotte groaned. Why did her alarm have to interrupt what was honestly the best sleep of Charlotte's life? She was warm but not too warm, and she oddly felt safe and comforted. She swore that she turned off her alarm earlier that week, so why was it going off? She sleepily attempted to roll over to grab her phone, but she found that she couldn't move. At first, she panicked, her over active mind going through the worst possible things as she quickly opened her eyes. As she did, she saw that she wasn't sleeping on a pillow like she originally thought, but she was laying on a hard chest covered by a gray and blue plaid shirt. Heat rushed to Charlotte's cheeks as she realized whose chest she was lying on. She would know this chest anywhere. It was the one that she secretly pretended that she was sleeping on every night. Her blush deepened as the memory of falling asleep on Henry's chest washed over her like a tidal wave. She looked up at him from her positon on his chest to see him sleeping soundly. His face was the most relaxed that she had ever seen it. He almost looked angelic besides his mouth that was slightly open. She looked down at their entangled bodies. Somehow, their legs had intertwined together, her arms were wrapped around his chest, his arms were wrapped around her middle, and Henry had her in tight hold as if trying to keep her from leaving. She smiled wishing that she could wake up like this every day, and then she heard that insufferable noise once again.

Beep. Beep. Beep. She had somehow forgotten about it, but once she heard it, she realized that it was pretty familiar. It sounded exactly like… Henry's watch. As the thought occurred, Charlotte gasped. That was Henry's watch, and it was a triple beep which meant that there was an emergency in Swellview. Knowing Ray, he probably wasn't paying attention, so Henry was the only one that could actually help. Charlotte panicked and sat up a little bit. She started shaking Henry in a vain attempt to wake him up, so he could go deal with the emergency. He just smiled in his sleep and pulled her closer against him which Charlotte thought was kind of adorable, but she didn't have time to admire him there could be lives at stake! Charlotte muttered an apology to the sleeping Henry before slapping his cheek knowing that the pain would wake him up quickly. His awoke with a start; his arms loosening around Charlotte's middle to clutch his reddened cheek. In that moment, he looked a lot like a goldfish with his brown eyes bugging out of his head, his mouth slightly open, his golden hair stuck up on the sides, and an expression that was both hurt and shocked. Charlotte would have commented on how comical he looked, but she was interrupted by an incredulous Henry.

"Did you just… slap me?!" Henry said. Charlotte ignored the question and jumped out of Henry's bed.

"Come on. There's an emergency! You have to leave!" Charlotte urged him grabbing his hand and pulling him off the messy bed. Henry looked at Charlotte not yet awake before the reality of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks. He immediately rushed to his window, climbed down the tree in his backyard, and ran down the street towards Junk–N–Stuff with Charlotte following close behind. Charlotte sprinted at top speed, but she managed to lag behind Henry who seemed to be running as fast as lightning. Charlotte swore that his super powers made him run like an Olympic champion as she quickly lost sight of Henry.

After a few minutes of sprinting, Charlotte ran up to the entrance of Junk-N-Stuff which was currently closed as it was later in the evening. Charlotte looked for her keys in her pocket before cursing as she realized that she left them at Henry's house. She banged on the door hoping that either Henry was close enough to hear, or Ray was upstairs. Lucky for her, Ray or rather Captain Man as he was fully dressed in his disguise, was upstairs. He opened the door quickly ushering her inside and looking around the street to make sure that no one saw their exchange.

"Charlotte! What are you doing here?" Ray said closing the door and locking it before smiling at her.

"Yeah, I just got in today. I'm surprised Henry didn't tell you. I swear he told everyone." Charlotte said rolling her eyes a little bit before giving Ray a hug.

"Ohhh, yeah! He did say something about you coming back I think, but I don't always listen to him when he starts talking about you. He babbles on and on all the time." Ray said as they walked towards the back elevator. Charlotte blushed as the intensity of his words really set in. Henry talks about me all the time when I'm not here? Charlotte thought to herself as she prepared for the long drop down to the Man Cave, flattered. She talked about him all the time too. Her friends at Stanford were convinced that Henry was Charlotte's boyfriend, but she always protested telling them they were just friends. Henry didn't think of her that way. She brushed the thoughts out of her mind. There were more important things going on. She didn't have time to overthink what Ray said, and wonder if Henry felt the same way about her that she felt about him.

"What was the emergency? Was it really serious?" Charlotte asked before pressing the down button on the elevator. The drop was steep, and Charlotte had to restrain herself from barfing up the chili cheeseburger that she had had hours earlier. Ray looked completely unaffected, and he answered her question succinctly.

"It was pretty serious. There was a robbery with two hostages. Henry went to go take care of it. I was writing down some new ideas for our podcast: Deep in the Man Cave, and I didn't see the crime alarm. I decided to meet him there, but then I saw you." Ray said as the elevators opened up. Ray and Charlotte both walked out quickly. Charlotte walked over to her spot at the computer, and Ray got in the tube to go help Henry. Charlotte immediately pulled up the news feed on the computer.

"We're just getting news from police on the scene, that Kid Danger just arrived at the bank. The bank robbers do not seem to be responding to any of the local police threats, and they have yet to ask for ransom. Apparently, there was a gun shot heard from outside the bank." The brunette male reporter said with a grim look on his face holding on to his ear piece. Charlotte bounced one of her legs in anxiety as she heard the news. This was the terrible thing about being back home in Swellview. She had to sit around and wait to see that Henry and Ray were okay.

"Please let Henry be okay…" Charlotte said hoping that Henry would take care of this quickly and come back to her safely. After what felt like an eternity but in reality was only a few minutes, the news reporter finally said that everyone seemed to be okay.

"According to our witness on the scene, Kid Danger is bringing a limping hostage outside while Captain Man brings the other to the EMT. The police are apprehending the two robbers." A bright smile erupted on Charlotte's face, and she sighed heavily in relief. Henry was okay. She continued to watch the news as they moved to show an interview of Kid Danger and Captain Man.

"Kid Danger, what exactly happened in there? How did one of the hostages get hurt?" A tall dark skinned reporter asked shoving a microphone in Henry's face. Henry pushed the microphone back a little bit before looking at the reporter and recapping what happened.

"Well, when I arrived at the bank, the two robbers didn't seem to be taking anything, just seemed to be waiting. The hostage who got shot tried to fight back and escape, but one of the robbers saw him. Unfortunately, before I could get there, the robber shot him in the foot. I then apprehended one of the perpetrators and got the bleeding hostage some medical help." Kid Danger said extremely seriously. The reporter nods before looking to Captain Man who was standing next to Henry.

"Captain Man, when did you arrive, and what was your take on this situation?" Captain Man leaned forward before giving his signature smile.

"Well, the hero always arrives late, so needless to say, I was a little bit late. When I arrived, Kid Danger was fighting off the criminal with the gun, so I decided to take out the other one. After a few minutes, both of the criminals were unconscious, and we took the hostages outside to make sure that they were okay." The reporter smiled then looked back at the camera.

"Well, there you have it. It looks like we have Kid Danger and Captain Man to thank once again for keeping our citizens safe." The dark haired reporter said dramatically. Then, the image on the news feed screen went back to the two reporters at the studio.

"Thank you, Ruby. Now, in other news, the school board has voted on whether or not it should allow individual merit awards at elementary school graduation." The reporter said, but Charlotte lost interest. She turned off the news feed and started scrolling through pictures of the crime scene. Something about this robbery didn't make sense to Charlotte. The robbers shot someone in the leg without hesitation for just trying to leave, but they didn't take anything? Even Jeff, the stupidest criminal alive was always trying to get something. If the two criminals weren't trying to get anything from the bank, what did they want? Charlotte thought just as Henry and Ray came down the twin tubes.

Henry looked somewhat tired and frustrated as he came down the tube, but his expression softened as he saw Charlotte sitting in the computer chair. He had missed the little things while she was gone. Her being there right after he fought crime was one of them. As he walked out of the tube, Charlotte walked over to him and gave him a tight hug. He hugged her back instinctively. Even though he had been gone for less than an hour, he had missed her. He was thinking about how nice she felt in his arms when he felt her body tremble slightly.

"I was really worried about you…" Charlotte whispered. Henry felt his heart break and a frown break out on his face, and he hugged her just a little bit tighter. It hurt him when Charlotte was upset.

"I was really worried about you … after you slapped me. What was that about?" Henry said trying to lighten the mood a little bit. He felt her body shake again, but this time it was accompanied by a small giggle. Henry smiled in relief as he heard her cute laugh. He understood why she was so worried, as he was fully aware of the fact that he could have been shot by one of those robbers tonight. Just thinking about it, made Henry pull Charlotte as close to him as possible. If he could, he would spend the rest of his life like this, holding his best friends in his arms.

"Well, I tried shaking you, but you sleep like the dead." Henry snorted at her comment.

"So your solution was to slap me awake? I was sleeping so good…" Henry groaned. His soft lips brushed over her ear as he groaned causing shivers to travel down Charlotte's spine. She blushed a whole new shade of red and pushed herself away from him. If she stayed too close to Henry, her brain would cease to function, and she needed to focus and ask him about the 'robbery.' Henry was slightly disappointed when she pulled away, but he reluctantly let go.

"I watched your interview on the news. The robbers really didn't try to steal anything?" Charlotte said walking back towards the computer to go back to analyzing photos. As Henry followed behind her towards the computer, he agreed, affirming what Charlotte already knew.

Ray stood next to the tube watching the pair. He honestly didn't know why they weren't together. They were obviously in love with each other, and they practically did everything together when they were both around. It wasn't exactly uncommon for them to ignore everyone else in the room to pay attention to each other. As they were doing this to him at thisexact moment. Ray pulled a gumball out of his pocket and headed towards the showers knowing they wouldn't notice that he had left, and they didn't as they were too engrossed on the computer screen to pay attention.

"I just don't get why they would rob something without actually robbing anything, you know?" Charlotte said trying to put a hand through her curly hair and remembering she put it into a bun. Henry watched her and chuckled. He leaned over her chair using her head as a chin rest to look at the computer screen.

"The thing is… This isn't the first time that we've had a crime like this. In fact, the robbers today looked pretty similar to the robbers that I encountered a few weeks ago. They were wearing similar outfits, and they both had this weird marking on their face." Henry said before guiding her hand that controlled the computer to find a close up photograph of a one of the robbers. The robber was a regular looking man with a simple suit and tie, but he had on a ski mask and dark shades. There was a picture of the middle age culprit without the ski mask, and he had a large purple snake insignia above his eyebrow. Strangely, the guy's eyes seemed to glow a faint purple where they were supposed to be white in the photo. Charlotte grimaced.

"Is that seriously what his eyes looked like?" Charlotte asked both grossed out and intrigued.

"Yeah, it is. The other guy had purple eyes too. The fight was really off too." Henry said using her hand again to do a quick search online for a criminal he caught two weeks ago. Charlotte blushed as he almost intertwined their fingers while he was doing the search. Henry brought her back to reality as he told her about a previous criminal.

"The guy wasn't even fighting. He didn't try to shoot me or anything. He dropped his gun, pushed me, and then he just stopped. The other guy stopped too. The same thing happened to me the week before finals, but I don't know if they have the same purple eyes." Charlotte scrunched her eyebrows.

"Do you think that someone could be plotting something?" Charlotte asked worried. Things just didn't add up. There was something going on here, and she hoped that she could figure it out before something bad happened. She couldn't let anything happen to Henry. She loved him, and she didn't know what she would do if he ever got seriously hurt.
