As the heartbreak and the danger goes deeper, Henry, Charlotte and Jasper work to fight crime in Dystopia unaware that the true evil lies closer to home than they knew. Henry and Charlotte struggle to accept their growing feelings towards one anothe...
Henry's point of view At BlackGuard Headquarters. "So, this mystery girl, did she have a Dystopian accent to her or was her English fluent?" Charlotte asked me expectantly.
"Pretty sure she's American, had an intensely firm feminine voice and was confident. She wore a ski mask though so I couldn't see her face except she had blue eyes, which you could easily get lost in." I answered her.
"Well, NOW I'm pretty sure she's hot and sexy. You sure nothing happened between you two wild kids." Jasper asked mischievously.
"Yes! Nothing happened between us. God, you're being so IMMATURE about this, Jasper!" I said exasperatedly.
"Just saying, back in Swellview you kissed almost every girl you either saved, got into a fight with or was involved in an undercover mission. I can list them all: Veronika, Bianca, Joss Moss, Noelle..."
"ALMOST kissed Noelle, didn't do it. There's a big difference, JASPER! And why are we even talking about this dude."
"You've kissed all of them, except for Charlotte."
"Whoa,dude." Charlotte joined in on the debate.
"Look, can we just focus on my attack." I finally tried to end the debate.
I'm not a player, I know that, everyone knows that, right?
"From the girl you could have made out with," Jasper added.
"Jasper!" Charlotte shouted.
"We gotta figure out who this chick is and fast!" Charlotte said urgently.
"Ooh! Jealous." Jasper said while winking at Charlotte. I slapped my forehead, feeling generally embarrassed for him. Suddenly, Charlotte's eyes began to glow an ominous red and from her eyes came a powerful laser blast that threw Jasper across the room, completely tearing his suit.
"Unh!" he groaned. Smoke coming from his now tattered suit. He lost consciousness. I looked at Charlotte in utter disbelief.
"Well, he wouldn't shut up plus he'll be fine and I only stunned him a while in order to get some actual work done!" Charlotte said defensively. "Plus, he is the Red Dozer, so come on let him take his nap and improve his fighting skills while he sleeps!"
Well, to be honest, Jasper had it coming and Charlotte did have a point. Though she was being pretty defensive about the whole situation. I wondered if there was some truth to Jasper's words...
"Ok, so you contact Ray and ask if any criminals escaped from Swellview Prison recently and I'll run some data on the town's criminal database to see if anyone was closely matching your weird description."
"Sure." I replied. Yes! My opportunity to call Ray without making things seem so weird. I quickly headed to one of the monitors and called Ray.
"C'mon, C'mon, C'mon,Ray, answer the phone." I said eagerly. Just then, after the fifth ring or so, Ray answered, though he was dressed in his new Captain Man costume leaving the Swellview Academy for The Gifted

"Oh! Hey Henry."
"Uh, hey Ray." God, I was glad to see him.
"Sure hope Swellview isn't falling apart while I'm gone."
"What! No, I'm totally looking after your mom, I mean Swellview."
"Wait, did you just say my.."
"Look Henry, I gotta go, I'm late for a date with Miss Swellview 10 at Sotto Voce."
"Hold on, you broke up with Kim Dampers?"
"Yeah, and I gotta go so.."
"Wait, wait, wait. I need your help with something. Has anyone escaped Swellview Prison recently?"
"Well, the Ballerino Brothers escaped but me and Danger Force caught them on Wednesday, so none, none has escaped. Why do you ask?"
"Because today I was.." Just then Schwoz popped up on the chat and gleefully said,
"Hey, it's me Schwoz, from work. Wait , you don't work here anymore so Hi, it's me Schwoz, not from work."
"Schwoz, I told you to go and find Chapa and make sure that she doesn't electrify the entire water system running through this building."
"I did but Miles accidentally teleported me to India, ooh! Namastey!"
"NAMAGO and do what I told you to."
"No, why are you so mean to me?"
"I'm mean to you, you know what sometimes I just think..."
I quickly pressed the End Call button and ended the video chat. I didn't need to get weirder than it already was because once those two began, they never stopped. It was hilarious most of the time but I had what I needed so no need to listen to them, further.
"So Char, I talked to Ray." I headed over to the larger monitor where Charlotte was seated.
"So how is he and what did he tell you?"
"Well, you know, Ray is just Ray and he told me that no one's out, they're all in." "So that crosses Swellview out of the list."
"Any luck on your end."
"Nope, no one. All I see are queer men with tattoos all over but no one being a pretty girl. You're sure your so called girl just wasn't using a voice altering device."
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a girl, unless the guy planted fake boobs as well."
Charlotte rolled her eyes and scanned her eyes at the monitor again.
Just then, the monitors began to flash and a robotic female voice said over the speakers.
Alert !Alert !Incoming Video Call from the Grand Chancellor of Dystopia.
"Well, that's just great." I said sarcastically. Wonder what the guy wanted with us. Charlotte and I quickly blew our gum bubbles and changed into our regular superhero outfits. Charlotte then pushed a big black button on the control panel. Who would have thought that that one simple video call would lead to the deaths of many people across Dystopia and in America. Who would have thought that we would end up losing our base thanks to that phone call. Who would have thought that I would lose my best friend thanks to that video call and the meeting that would come after it. I really didn't think things would have gone that far but they eventually did.
