Henry's POV
When we get into Schwoz's car, I look into the back seat remembering last night. I look back forward towards the road and start screaming seeing that we are about to hit an old lady. The car jerks to a stop with the furious old lady standing in front of it. The old lady took her purse and wacked off one of Schwoz's wind shield wipers and walked away.
"Hey!I just got those fixed!" Schwoz yells and mumbles in a different language.
"Do you not know how to drive?" I ask loudly.
"Yes I know how to drive I just can't really drive without my glasses. Well at least that's what Charlotte says" Schwoz says as he puts his scar in reverse. I shake my head hopelessly. I'm not going to make it there alive. After hitting not one but four trash cans, a lamp post , and a dumpster we finally made it to the Toddler's headquarters which we have been coming alot to lately. I look at my watch. It's 1 o'clock sort of a weird time to be doing something like this but whatever.
"Okay so you stay here, and I will go get Ray. Just be ready to drive away and if I'm not back within an hour call the police" I say. Schwoz looks at me with a worried face.
"Come on just trust me" I say.
"Alright just be careful" he says.
" I will" I say and run into the alley. When I find my way to the center room of the Toddler's headquarters, I make sure to be extra quiet. I don't see Ray anywhere. All I see is the Toddler oddly without his weapon for once. He sitting in a chair , using one of his henchmen as his footstool. I quickly rummage through the bag I put together.
I totally forgot that I packed the covert weiner. I grab it and sling the bag of weapons into a hidden corner conveniently behind the wall. I bust through the door.
" Alright nobody move" I yell. The Toddler looks at me and laughs.
" What are you going to do with that? Make a picnic?" He laughs. I aim at a tower of blocks and shoot to show him what it really was. The tower explodes and comes down leaving the Toddler speechless.
" Ugh I should have known that you would have come back for your boss. Well guess what? He is one of me now and there is nothing you can do about it" He says. Fear overwhelms me for some reason when he says that.
" What do you mean?" I say curiously.
" Oh that's right you don''t know about my new sidekick. Meet my new sidekick , Toddler Tantrum get in here!" the Toddler screams. I watch as a door opens and Ray , who I can tell has been changed back into a kid, walks out in a black onesy and it looks like his regular Captain Man mask just painted black also. He still has a tracker around his neck just smaller. He looks at me in surprise and fear and points towards the door telling me to run. I shake my head and look at the Toddler.
"Now Toddler Tantrum take care of Kid Danger for me" he says. Ray's eyes open in surprise and pulls the Toddler aside to talk to him. It looks like a really weird coversation but after a few minutes of talking the Toddler pushes him up to me. Now that he is much closer ,I see that the Toddler has actually turned him closer to my age. So now Ray is fourteen and is about to fight me. Wow this is a very strange day.
Ray's POV
I walk into a room to change into my new costume. I look at it and almost puke. I don't even think this is how my mom dressed me when I was a toddler. I start to put it on. and look into the mirror after I have put it on. I quickly take of my mask and to my surprise I realize that the Toddler turned me older then he did last time.I think back to last night when the Toddler asighned me my new sidekick name and painted my mask as though to say my new old life is covered up now I guess.
I'm probably Henry's age now. No stop that Ray. You can't keep thinking about Henry. The only way to keep him safe is to forget about him and move on. I know that I'm never going to actually be able to do this ,but I still tell myself this anyways.
"Toddler Tantrum get in here!" The Toddler screams. Well I guess that's my cue. I put my mask back on and walk outside. Surprise and a little bit of anger,fear, and joy shoot up inside of me all at once when I see Henry . Anger because I told Schwoz to take him to the mancave. Fear because I'm scared that he's going to get caught and joy because I'm glad to see him. Why is he here? He is going to get caught. I point towards the door and mouthing 'run'. He just shakes his head. I roll my eyes and sigh. gosh he's is so stubborn sometimes.
"Now Toddler Tantrum take care of Kid Danger for me" the Toddler says. Even more fear shoots up inside of me. I quickly pull the Toddler away.
" What?!" I say surprisingly.
" I said to take care of him. You are my sidekick and you have to do what I say. Now do it" he says clenching his teeth together angrily. He can't make me do this.
"You can't make me fight my own sidekick. I never agreed to this" I say.
" You agreed to be my sidekick and sidekicks are suppose to listen and do what there heroes say. Now go beat him up!" he screams.
" And what if I don't?" I ask. The Toddler looks at me with a creepy smile.
" I'm glad you asked. Yo
u see ,that tracker around your neck there is not only a tracker-" he pulls out a remote and pushes a button. I feel electricity go up and down my body as I scream and fall to the floor." It's also a shocker" the Toddler says. I crawl to get up.
" And that's not even the highest level of electricity I can go. Now get out there" the Toddler says and pushes me out towards Henry who looks very confused which I don't blame him for being.
