Merry Christmas y'all 

Hope you have an amazing day 

(...)

Charlotte and Schwoz were walking around the Man Cave like crazy, while I was looking at everything that was on the computer. It was the same logo that I had left on the Cactus Con card "Thanks for the Cactus, GAME ON", that was where I remembered it, a red circle, with black details and it was on all the missions that Ray and Henry had done in the last few months.

Starting with the time they went through the interdimensional portal on Halloween, when we dressed up as an old movie, the can of Flabber Gas when Henry and Ray couldn't move, inside the 10 leches ice cream cake, the box where Whistling Susie came in, and finally the Cactus Con card, all those events had the red logo, and next to the logo image, there was the image of Rick Twitler, the CEO of Twittlfash.

Now I understand why they said it's a trap!

I sat down on the monitor chair watching the images, when Charlotte came to my side with Schwoz, who had Katelyn in his arms.

"Why does the CEO of Twittlfash want to destroy Captain Man and Kid Danger?" asked Char.

"Yeah, I don't get it" I had barely understood everything, but I had an idea "what does he want with them?".

"Mmmm, maybe he doesn't want to destroy them" said Schwoz with his thoughtful face, until he opened his eyes and gasped "he wants to steal Ray and Henry's superpowers!".

I looked at him confused "and how does he plan to do that?".

Schwoz rolled his eyes "oh God! this is so complicated; I'll explain it to you with my American accent".

"Okay" my friend and I said in unison.

"But I can only do it for a certain time before I pass out".

"Then hurry up" I said taking Katelyn.

I moved away from where I was and stepped aside with Charlotte, so Schwoz could explain to us what the hell was going on. Schwoz took a deep breath and started talking.

"Ray and Henry were sprayed with Flabber Gas" it was funny to hear him speak with his American accent "now you can't counteract its effects, but Flabber Gas never really leaves your body. And on Halloween, when Ray and Henry went through the Evil Science Corp portal, they were covered in interdimensional bio-waste, which takes years to leave your body. Then Whistlin' Susie, the old atomic bomb that was delivered to Man Cave, filled Ray and Henry with gamma radiation. And finally..." he pressed a button "the 10 leches ice cream cake, the 10th milk and final milk, that's what brings it all together" he pressed another button again "that's A.M.O.R.E".

I opened my mouth confused "love?".

"No!" said Schwoz "Anti-Macro OxyRibonucleic Enzymes".

"A-M-O-R-E" Charlotte continued, catching what he was saying "oh yeah! That is A.M.O.R.E".

"Sure it is, Charlotte... sure... it... is...".

And as if he were a dry trunk, Schwoz fell to the ground exhausted, said and done, as he said, he fell to the ground fainted from speaking with his American accent.

"Wait! Schwoz!" I shouted.

I turned to Charlotte, who had the same look as me, we had to do something, we couldn't stay here without doing anything. If Rick Twitler managed to steal Ray and Henry's powers we'd be lost, they couldn't be superheroes anymore, and that was clear to us from the time Ray lost his indestructibility when they traveled to the past.

"Kai" Char called "we've got to go; we can't let anything happen to them".

I nodded "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, we can take the emergency weapons that Schwoz has".

"Great, I'll go get them".

"Come on, I'll go with you" I left Katelyn in her bed "we'll have to bring many, many reinforcements".

(...)

After going for Schwoz's weapons, when we returned to the Man Cave, Jasper was already there, Katelyn was not in her bed, Schwoz had woken up from his untimely faint, and the two of them were on the stairs of the tubes forming a circle between them.

"Captain Man! Swellview is in danger!" Jasper shouted.

Captain Man?

"You are the only one who can help us!" Schwoz continued.

"Time is running out! You have to act now!".

I walked over to where the two were saying nonsense, since Ray was not here, I found Katelyn dressed as Captain Man, awwwww, that's adorable.

Schwoz carried her in the air "Up the tube!".

"Weeee!".

Then, the two of them started making baby faces at her while talking to her as if she were a baby, she was so adorable, but this was not the time for my friends' nonesense, we had to go save Ray and Henry.

"Guys!" Charlotte shouted at them "Kai and I are going to try to go save Ray and Henry" she had her 'Charlotte' tone "now do you want to help us? Or do you want to stay here playing Super Pooch, with Captain Katelyn".

"Wow" Jasper continued "difficult decision".

"Ray is very mean to me so..." the foreigner finished.

"Really?" I asked in disbelief, I took a gun "whatever, let's go Char".

"Yep".

We were ready to leave, when suddenly the sound of the tubes coming down was present, seconds later it went down, revealing Ray and Henry in their suits, with a worried expression on their faces.

"Oh! Thank God!" Charlotte dropped the weapons.

Henry staggered a little and almost fell to the ground, if it hadn't been for Ray who stopped him. He had a lost look and looked pale, as if he had just come out of some surgery, it can't be, no.

"I got you, Kid" said Ray holding him, as they went down the steps "everything is going to be okay... oh my God, that's adorable".

Ray ran to where Katelyn was dressed like him, dropping Henry to the ground, I quickly ran to him and tried to help him up as best I could. He looked extremely bad, he had Henry's face, obviously, but his face gave the impression that he was not feeling good, physically and emotionally. Between Jasper and I we lifted him up and sat him on the swivel couch.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly as I took his face in my hands, to look him straight in the eyes.

"No" he answered breathlessly "no... no, I'm not okay" Henry grabbed one of my hands that was on his face "I'm not okay".

Poor Henry, in all my years here I had never seen him like this, it was just too worrying.

"Forget the disguise!" Charlotte shouted to Ray "how did you get out of Rick Twitler's trap?".

"Woah, woah, woah, woah..." Henry said "woah, woah, woah, woah, did you know we were going into a trap?".

"Yes".

"And you didn't think about telling us?" Ray reproached.

"We tried to call you many times!" I yelled "and you never answered!".

Charlotte nodded "I left you voicemails!".

"Voicemails? Who leaves voicemails?" Henry asked confused "why didn't you just text him?".

"He's old".

"I'm not old!".

Without anyone noticing, I laughed a little under my breath, it was so funny when we mocked Ray about how old he was, or when someone mentioned his age, those were things that happened to people who didn't want to grow up and refused; and it made me laugh so much.

"Who cares how old Ray is!" this time Jasper shouted.

"36" he said whispering.

I let out a little laugh, yeah, that wasn't true at all.

"Did you really fall into a trap? Is Rick Twitler in jail? Did you bring us some honey?" Jasper.

"Yes, no and... no" Henry answered.

"Twitler escaped" Ray continued.

I looked at him strangely "what?".

"And he managed to steal Kid Danger's superpowers".

"WHAT?!" we all shouted.

"Yep, look at this".

Ray walked over to a drawer and picked up a rock that was there, then walked over to Henry sneakily.

"Testing rock!" he threw the rock at my friend.

"What?... Ow!".

The rock landed on his face. Before, normally, he would've moved to the side letting the rock fall somewhere else, but this time it hit him in the face, specifically on his perfect nose that looked like... I mean, yeah, yeah, on his nose, it hit his nose.

And just to think that just a few hours ago, we used those same superpowers to finish a 10,001-piece puzzle. How ironic.

"See?" Ray gave a half smile.

"Aw, that was where my rock was" Schwoz crouched down for it "where have you been hiding, Dwayne?".

I shook my head trying to play it down, and crossed my arms, standing next to Henry.

"Tell us what happened" the curled hair girl asked.

Henry tilted his head "Okay" and started telling his story ": so I got to the Swellview Honey Factory, and then I fall from the roof like bam! And I landed on Rick Twitler and he was like 'owie!' and I was like 'sorry to drop in like that' and everyone was like 'that was a cool entrance, dude' and I was like 'I know' ".

I looked at Henry with a 'seriously' face, knowing him I knew that all that had happened, but I repeat, I know Henry, and when it comes to drama and putting his little twist on the story, he was the king.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Ray interrupted "nobody said anything like that".

"Well, they almost said it so...".

"Just skip to the part where your superpowers are stolen".

"Okay, skip, skip, skip, skip" he said "so I'm caught in Rick Twitler's trap, and I look super cool" I raised my eyebrows "and Rick Twitler was like 'Miiiii, I'm gonna steal your superpowers and put it in this virus, and infect all the computers forever because I'm an idiot' and then he used a machine to start taking my powers right through my mouth and Captain Man was like 'NOOOO!' and I was like 'you're gonna pay for this Twitler' And also, there was a bee flying around my head and Rick Twitler kept making his stupid 'Ñeñeñeñeñeñeñeeee' face" I rolled my eyes and shook my head "and I was like...".

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" this time Schwoz interrupted.

"What? What? What?".

"What was the last thing you said?".

Henry shrugged his shoulders "About Rick Twitler making stupid face like: ÑEÑEÑEÑE?".

The worst thing was that I imagined Rick Twitler as Henry said, dumb, and Henry super heroic, when I don't think it was true.

"No!" Schwoz answered "the bee thing! You said that a bee flew near you, then the machine started to take away your powers from your mouth".

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Henry continued "that bee flew right by my face when Twitler stole my powers" he let out a mocking laugh "in fact it glowed for a few seconds and then flew away super-fast".

"Ayyyyyyeeeeee!" Schwoz exclaimed, his shout made me jump "I know what we have to do!".

Ray narrowed his eyes "Me too, we have to find that bee..." he paused "and kill it".

"NO!".

He made a face "well then I'm out of ideas".

I think I got Schwoz's idea a bit, and apparently Charlotte did too, she got up from the swivel chair and put on her 'thinking' face, I loved when she made that face, it was always good news.

"Yeah, I understand what you're sayin'" she said, "maybe some of the superpowers were transferred to the bee when it flew over Henry's face".

"Exactly, and so we can bring the bee here to the Man Cave...".

"And kill it?" Jasper asked.

"Yes!" Ray pointed at Jasper agreeing with him.

"No!" we all three shouted at the same time.

"Uuuuuuggghhhhhh" Ray complained as he sat on the couch, how stupid he was, and stubborn.

"If we bring the bee here, we can find a way to transfer Henry's powers back to his body".

I nodded with a big smile, I must admit that it was a good plan, so we could give Henry's powers back, and try to stop Rick Twitler again.

"Okay" I said nodding "go and bring it back to Man Cave".

Henry approached Ray with his hand raised, so he could do his salute that they did.

"Dead or alive" he smiled maliciously.

"NO!" we had shouted a lot today, but when you have Ray as a friend, it was never enough.

"Alive!".

I looked at him badly "what's wrong with you?".

"Okay, okay" Ray defended himself "come on Kid, let's go to the...".

At that moment the monitor started ringing preventing Ray from finishing what he was going to say, it wasn't an emergency call because it didn't sound like that, it wasn't a video call either, it was more like a beep*beep*, but not loud, but in a higher tone.

"It's a video message!" Schwoz shouted as he ran to answer.

"Ah, it's probably Charlotte" Ray said nonchalantly, I looked at him with a blank face, I can't believe he said that "send her to voicemail".

"I'm right here!".

Ray pursed his lips "good point, let's listen".

We all looked at Ray a bit surprised, not by what he said, but by how his clumsiness could reach such extremes, and that was saying a lot. Schwoz turned his gaze to the monitor and played the video message that had come to us.

"Hey! Hi! It's me! Rick Twitler!".

Ah heck no.
