Date Night
The Night of The Explosion
After finishing his performance Nick met with his girlfriend Sarah, "That was amazing babe!" she said going in for a kiss. Nick rejected it backing away, "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Look Sarah, I didn't want to do this today but I want to break up." he explained.
"Why?" she asked.
"You've been smothering me, we've only been dating three weeks and you're the last person I see when I go to bed and the first person I see when I wake up, you came to all my play rehearsals and have seen every show. I need my space!" Nick explained.
"I'm just being a devoted girlfriend." Sarah tried to explain.
"No you're obsessed with me, and I'm done!" Nick shouted walking away.
"You'll regret this Nick I swear!" she cried running away.
Sarah ran to her parents restaurant, "Hey honey." her mother greeted her. Sarah ignored her mom and went into the freezer to get some ice cream, "He thinks he can break up with me well he'll see!" Sarah shouted out loud. At that moment the energy pulse hit the building.
Present Day
At 09:34am, Cindy was walking with Brittany to school, "Glad we're finally hanging out." Brittany commented, "I feel like we hardly see each other anymore."
"I know, I've been so busy lately." Cindy agreed.
The two girls entered the school when Nick walked passed them, Cindy looked back in wonder, "Who's that?" Cindy asked shaking her friend.
"That's Nick Dean, he's like the most popular and handsome guy in school. How could you know him." Brittany explained.
"Well I've been distracted lately." Cindy replied.
Nick walked over to the duo and both girls instantly froze.
"You're Cindy right?" he asked.
"I...ya...I am." Cindy replied stuttering.
"Do you wanna go out tonight." he asked.
Cindy was so shocked she couldn't even reply, "She would love to." Brittany answered in her place.
"Cool, I'll pick you up at eight." Nick replied walking off.
"I can't believe it the hottest, most athletic guy in school just asked you out." Brittany screamed excitedly.
Cindy was in such shock she didn't even say a word.
At another part of the school Carl was texting with the girl he met at the hospital Jasmine.
Carl: Gud luk ur test 2day
Jasmine: Thanx u were a big help
Carl: So r u doing anything 2nite
Jasmine: I dnt know wat do u hve planned
Carl: Well I was thinking dinner
Jasmine: Pick me up 8
Carl: We'll do
Carl smiled and put his phone away. He heard the bell and went to class.
At 18:45pm, the team was finishing a good afternoon of training, "Great work team see you tomorrow." Jimmy congratulated.
"Really, so early." Sheen said suprised.
"Ya, I have a meeting and those two have plans tonight." Jimmy replied pointing at Cindy and Carl.
"How did you know about my date!?" both Cindy and Carl shouted surprised.
"You have a date!" Sheen said surprised to Carl, "With who? That that Jasmine girl you've been texting."
"Ya." Carl answered.
"I'm so excited for you!" Libby said hugging Carl.
"You know I'm going out with Nick Dean." Cindy said trying to get attention.
"Ya that's great." Libby said ignoring Cindy, "What are you going to wear?" Libby asked Carl.
"I don't know this." Carl replied gesturing to what he was currently wearing.
"No, no, no. We need to fix this." Libby said to Sheen.
"You're right." Sheen agreed, "Carl what times your date?"
"I made reservations for eight at Sam's." Carl replied.
Libby looked at her watch, "That doesn't give us enough time, Sheen."
Sheen raced Libby and Carl out with his super speed.
"Well I'll be going." Jimmy said heading for his hovercraft.
"Does anyone care I'm going out with the hottest guy in school." Cindy shouted to herself.
At Carl's house Libby and Sheen wear trying to find the right look for Carl.
"No." Libby said looking at Carl's outfit. Sheen used his super speed to change Carl into another, "No." she said again, Sheen used his speed to change Carl again, "No." she said once again.
Just before Sheen could change Carl again, "Can you stop doing that! Its starting to get weird!" Carl shouted in frustration.
"Dude we're just trying to help." Sheen replied.
"I appreciate that, I really do but right now you guys are smothering me. I can handle this on my own." Carl said walking out.
"He can't handle this on his own." Libby commented.
"We better follow him." Sheen agreed.
At the military base, Jimmy and Goddard met up with General Vortex and some other important figures. "Good even James. Do you have the report for us?"
"Yes I do." Jimmy answered, "Goddard activate holographic display." Goddard's back opened up and holograms of the entire team were shown. "Subject 1." Jimmy said revealing Cindy's image, "Name Cynthia Aurora Vortex. Codename Special girl. Abilities; subject has enhanced strength capable of lifting about 100 tons. Maximum load, unknown. Enhanced speed, subject can move at speeds faster than 500 miles per hour, subject also has superhuman reflexes. Enhanced Durability, subject is extremely resistant to damage, capable of surviving, gun fire, falls from great heights and explosions."
At Cindy's date, her and Nick were at the pier playing games, "How about we go there?" Nick suggested pointing to the strength tester.
"Sure." Cindy agreed.
"Step right up, step right up. Beat the machine and win a prize! Only five dollars!" the announcer shouted. Nick picked up the hammer and slammed it on the machine, the ball went up but failed to hit the bell. "Hard luck, try again." he said.
"How about I try." Cindy suggested.
"Sure." Nick agreed handing Cindy the hammer.
Cindy hit the machine the bell went flying up and shot the bell off. The announcer looked in disbelief and handed Cindy a teddy bear, "Congratulations." he said shocked.
"Whoa, you're strong!?" Nick commented surprised.
"Is that a problem?" Cindy asked nervously.
"Nope, I like a girl that can take care of herself." Nick replied, "So want a hotdog?"
"Sure." Cindy agreed smiling.
From a distance Cindy and Nick were being watched by a cloaked figure.
Back at the base, Jimmy was still giving out his report, "Subject 2." Jimmy said showing Libby's image, "Name, Liberty Danielle Folfax, Codename The Invisible girl. Abilities; subject has the ability to camouflage with her environment with such effectiveness she appears invisible. Subject also has the ability to create violet coloured force fields in any shape that she can think of."
Carl was walking up to Jasmine's door and in the bushes hiding behind him were Libby and Sheen. "He looks like he's doing good." Libby commented.
"Ya he does...oh I just realised he forgot something!" Sheen shouted.
"What!" Libby asked.
"He forgot flowers! What are her favorite flowers!" Sheen asked.
Libby pulled out her phone and searched on Jasmine's social media, "It says here, yellow roses." Libby answered.
Sheen raced off with his superspeed.
Carl knocked on the door, "Just a second." Jasmine called out. Just as the door began to open Sheen raced in put the flowers in Carl's hands and raced off. Carl looked back to see Libby and Carl in the bushes, he gave them a look and turned around to see Jasmine wearing a beautiful dress with sneakers, "Whoa, you look amazing!" Carl said infatuated.
"Aw, thanks. Are those for me?" Jasmine asked pointing to the flowers.
"Yes!" Carl said nervously giving Jasmine the flowers.
"Yellow roses my favourite." she said with a smile, "I see you do your research." she commented.
"Ya, I do." Carl replied nervously.
Jasmine took Carl inside to meet her parents. "Just stay here for a sec, I'll be back." she said running upstairs with her mom, Carl went in to shake Jasmine's father's hand, "Nice to meet you sir, I'm Carl." he greeted.
Jasmine's father simply glared at him and went to sit down. "What are your intentions son?" he asked.
"Well...sir...I'm going to take her to Sam's for dinner and maybe some dancing and then have her home by nine." Carl explained.
"Good, because if you're even a second late I'll kill you." Jasmine's father replied.
"Nice joke sir." Carl replied nervously.
"Who's joking, I'll kill you and I know how I'll get away with it." Jasmine's father continued.
Carl began to laugh nervously until Jasmine came downstairs, "Ready." she called out.
"Ya." Carl answered walking up to her. "Have fun honey." her father said kissing his daughters cheek, "And Carl remember our talk."
The two left the house, "So what was the threat he gave you?" she asked.
"He said, if I'm even a second late bringing you home he'll kill me." Carl answered.
"Aw, he must like you. The last three guys I went out with got way worse threats." Jasmine replied.
"Lucky me." Carl laughed nervously.
At the base, Jimmy was making his next report, "Subject 3." he said revealing Carl's image, "Name, Carlton Ulysses Wheezer. Codename, Echo. Abilities, subject has the ability to manipulate sound, highest recorded sound blast about 200 decibels."
Cindy and Nick were enjoying their hotdogs, "How can something be so gross and so delicious at the same time." Cindy said eating the hotdog.
"That's Sticky Joe's for you." Nick replied. At that moment the hooded figure walked up to them, "Can I help you pal?" Nick asked.
"I can't believe you did this to me!" the hooded figure screamed.
Recognising the voice Nick said surprised, "Sarah!? What are you doing here!?"
"I came to stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life with this bitch!" Sarah shouted removing her hood.
"Excuse me!" Cindy said walking up to Sarah.
"You heard me." Sarah challenged.
"Look, Sarah. We broke up months ago, you need to get over it and leave me alone." Nick said moving Cindy out of the way.
"You still love me. Its just she's making you say these things." Sarah replied.
"Look crazy girl." Cindy said walking up to Sarah.
"Get away from us!" Sarah shouted firing a beam that froze Cindy in a block of ice.
"What the...!?" Nick shouted shocked.
Sarah's hair began to turn white and her skin became pale, "You love me Nick. You just don't know it but I'll make you." she said grabbing Nick, launching off the ground with her ice beam.
The block of ice Cindy was in began to shake, cracks began to form and in an instant she broke out of the ice, "Nick!" she shouted.
At the base, Jimmy was giving another report, "Subject 4." he said showing them Sheen's image, "Name, Sheen Juarrera Estevez. Codename, The Flash. Abilities, subjects body vibrates on a molecular level, allowing him to run at superhuman speeds. Top speed unknown."
Carl and Jasmine entered the building and met the concierge "Do you have a reservation?" he asked.
"Two for Wheezer." Carl answered.
The concierge checked and found their names, "Ah, yes this way." he replied taking them to their table. From behind them Sheen and Libby followed. "Do you have a reservation?" the concierge asked.
"Yes we do." Sheen answered, "Two for Estevez."
The concierge checked and found their names, "Ah, there it is, this way sir."
"You made a reservation?" Libby asked.
"No, I just wrote our names in there with my superspeed." Sheen answered.
"Whoa, you are fast." Libby commented surprised, "Didn't even see you move."
Carl pulled out Jasmine's chair, "Guess chivillry isn't dead." she commented.
Carl sat down and their waiter came with their menus. "I'll have a burger." Carl ordered.
"And I'll have the spaghetti." Jasmine ordered.
The waiter took their menus and went off. Carl and Jasmine stayed in silence for a while. Sheen and Libby looked on to see the awkward situation, "Dudes bombing." Sheen commented.
"He needs some help." Libby agreed, she checked Jasmine's social media and found some of her interests, she wrote something on a napkin and gave it to Sheen. "Give that to him."
Sheen used his superspeed to put the napkin in Carl's hand undetected. "What was that?" Jasmine asked feeling the breeze.
"Must be a open window." Carl replied, Carl looked at the napkin and it said, SHE REALLY LIKES SUPERHEROES. "Anyway, what do you think about that superhero team that's been saving people all over town?"
"Don't even get me started." Jasmine said excitedly, "Their just so cool I mean they can do things we can only dream of right!?"
"Ya, their pretty cool, who's your favourite?" he asked.
"Well I think all of them are great my favourite has to be the guy with sound powers." Jasmine replied.
"Why?" Carl asked beginning to smile.
"He's potentially the most powerful one. He could manipulate sound waves to allow himself to fly, modify his voice, the possibilities are endless." she said getting more excited.
"Really?" Carl said surprised.
"You must think I'm a giant nerd." Jasmine commented.
"No I don't you're just a girl who's really passionate about something she loves." Carl replied.
Jasmine smiled and the two continued their conversion laughing and beginning to loosen up.
Sheen and Libby looked on to the success and began smiling.
Sarah had flown Nick into a forest, "Now that we're alone Nick, we can find a way to rekindle our relationship."
"We only dated for three weeks, there wasn't much of an relationship." Nick protested.
"Don't worry, you'll see the truth or die trying." Sarah commented.
"Wait what!?" Nick said shocked.
"If you won't be with me, you won't get to be with anyone." Sarah explained.
At that moment Cindy supersped in and punched Sarah into a tree. "Cindy!? How did you do that!?" Nick asked shocked.
"I'll explain later. Let's just g..." Cindy tried to say before being blasted by a freeze ray freezing her again in a block of ice. Cindy instantly broke free and went in to attack Sarah, Sarah dodged by using her freeze ray to propel herself up she then blasted Cindy with ice shards pinning Cindy to the ground.
"I've had enough of you!" Cindy shouted getting up, she clapped her hands creating a powerful shockwave that sent Sarah flying into a tree knocking her out and sent Nick flying off of a ledge, "Nick!" Cindy shouted, she jumped off of the ledge and dived straight for Nick.
She caught him and as they were heading to the ground they suddenly stopped. Nick opened his eyes to see them levitating, "Whoa! We're flying!" Nick said astonished.
"We are!?" Cindy replied surprised, she looked and saw they were floating mid air, "We are!" she said again even more surprised.
"You can fly!?" Nick commented.
"Apparently." Cindy replied still shocked. Cindy flew back to Sarah but crashed to the ground while landing, "Guess I need a little practice." she commented.
"You'll get the hang of it." Nick replied dusting himself off, he then looked at Sarah, "What are we going to do with her?"
"I need to make a call." Cindy replied.
At Sam's Carl and Jasmine had finished their dinner, "So what do you want to do now?" Carl asked.
Jasmine heard music, "I want to dance!" she said excitedly.
"Did she just say dance!" Libby shouted shocked, "How are we supposed to help him now?" Libby asked.
Sheen thought for a moment, "Okay, here's what we're going to do. You use your force field power and control his arms and legs while I subtly move him with my speed."
"Got it." Libby agreed.
At that moment Carl and Jasmine rushed to the dance floor and to Sheen and Libby's astonishment Carl was an exceptionally great dancer, "I can't believe it!?" Sheen said in shock.
"I'm with you." Libby agreed.
The music began to slow down and Jasmine pulled Carl close and they began slow dancing, Jasmine leaned in close and kissed Carl. Sheen and Libby looked on while slow dancing themselves, "Our boy did it." Libby commented smiling.
"I told myself I wouldn't cry." Sheen said tearing up a bit. Libby and Sheen continued dancing ignoring what Carl was doing, "You know we make a great team." Sheen commented.
"Yes, yes we do." Libby replied smiling.
Back at the base Jimmy's superior's were speaking with him, "You're in depth report on your team was very interesting Mr Neutron but you refrained from telling us your contingencies to stop them if they ever went rogue." one of them asked.
"I didn't feel like it was necessary." Jimmy replied.
"These mutants of yours are more powerful than the ones that have been captured. This council is ordering you to make failsafes to stop them." another said.
Jimmy sighed, "Fine, I'll get right on it."
Jimmy walked out of the building with General Vortex. "I can't believe you want me to make a failsafe for your daughter!" Jimmy shouted.
"I was out voted James." the General tried to explain.
"Not good enough Vortex! We're in this mess because of you! These people have no reason to help us but they are, now you want me to betray their trust by doing this!" Jimmy shouted.
"What would you want me to do James?" the General asked.
"Try harder to make this whole situation easier. Because its all your fault." Jimmy answered walking to his hovercraft.
After the cops took Sarah away, Nick walked Cindy home, "Sorry this was a weird date." Cindy apologized nervously.
"Why are you apologizing, it was my crazy ex that attacked us." Nick replied.
"You're not gonna tell anyone about you know!?" Cindy asked.
"Your superpowers naw, if I did that I probably wouldn't be able to take you out next week." Nick replied.
Cindy smiled and they continued walking.
Carl walked Jasmine home, "Thanks for the fun night and...well...the kiss." Carl said shyly.
"Don't mention it." Jasmine said opening her door.
"Text you later." Carl commented.
"Sure." she said smiling closing the door.
Carl sighed in relief then straightened his face, "I know you're out there." he called out. Libby and Sheen jumped out of the bushes, "Thanks for the help." he said walking away.
Libby and Sheen smiled going to follow him, "Dude! I didn't know you could dance!" Sheen commented.
"I can also sing and play the drums." Carl bragged.
"When did you learn how to do all that?" Libby asked.
"We you spend most of you're adolescent years alone you pick up a few tricks." Carl explained.
The trio continued walking having a good time.
The next day at 06:45am, the team was walking to Jimmy's Lab. Libby met up with Cindy, "So how was your date with Nick?" Libby asked.
"Like you care." Cindy replied.
"Look girl, its not that I didn't care about your date, its just that Carl needed our immediate attention and I knew whatever came your way you could handle it. You're Cindy Vortex." Libby explained.
"When you say it like that. I kinda get it." Cindy agreed.
"So, you forgive me?" Libby asked.
"Sure." Cindy replied hugging her friend.
The two met up with Carl and Sheen and entered the lab. The walked in to find Jimmy and the General waiting for them. "Dad what are you doing here?" Cindy asked.
"I came here to tell you all the truth." the General answered.
"About what?" Libby asked.
"The energy pulse that hit Retroville seven months ago was caused by a machine called the Neutron Chamber exploding." the General explained.
"Wait did you say Neutron Chamber!" Libby said shocked, "Are you telling me you caused all this Jimmy!" she shouted grabbing Jimmy's collar.
"Libby, let him go, it was an accident." Cindy commented.
"Wait, you knew about this!" Sheen shouted.
"Its not like they told me. I found out from a mutant." Cindy replied.
"I just can't believe I trusted you." Libby shouted to Jimmy.
"It wasn't his fault." the General commented.
"What!?" Cindy asked.
"I said it wasn't his fault." the General repeated, "It was mine."
"No, no, no! You looked me in the eye and told me it wasn't you!" Cindy shouted.
"How?" Sheen asked the General.
"James warned me, I didn't listen." the General answered.
"You know, I thought joining this team was a good idea, guess I was wrong." Sheen commented.
"Sheen wait..." Jimmy tried to say.
Sheen ignored him and super sped off. Libby kept quiet and left the room.
"Carl..." Jimmy tried to explain. Carl kept silent and walked off.
"Cindy, honey I can explain!" the General tried to say.
"No! No more lies!" Cindy replied super speeding off.
"Why did you tell them?" Jimmy asked.
"It was the only way to keep them safe James, by telling them you won't be able to analyze their weaknesses properly, preventing you from creating failsafes for them." the General explained.
"And now we've lost our team of super powerful mutants, and by the way isn't Stone still out there. Sometimes Sam I question your ability to make a good decision." Jimmy said walking off.
"You have to trust me James." the General commented.
"Thing is I don't." Jimmy replied.
Late that day at 16:56pm, Jimmy was leaving his lab when suddenly the ground beneath him began to move. Stone revealed himself grabbing Jimmy's neck, "Hello Jimmy. You and I need to talk."
