Chapter 48: My Boy
We arrived at the Man Cave, I can't say that the journey was easy, because it really wasn't, and I say it wasn't BECAUSE IT WASN'T! Jasper wouldn't stop complaining, even if he didn't talk, you could hear all his moans and muffled screams, then I had to walk with my hand over his mouth so that the fool wouldn't open it, and Charlotte was like my visibility, since because of Jasper I couldn't see anything.
IT WASN'T EASY!
Henryway, upon arriving at the Man Cave I hugged Jasper by the neck, without taking my hand off his mouth.
"I'll go find Schwoz, the machine should be finished by now" said Charlotte as she walked out the door behind the monitor "; try to call Henry".
"Okay! Jasper I'm serious stop moving" I ordered him, but I only received 'mhmhmmhm' from him.
As I could I took out my phone and tapped Henry's number, hoping he would answer, because after all the times I had tried earlier, I no longer had much hope.
One ring... two rings... three rings... he answered.
"Hello?".
"We found the bee!" I shouted without saying anything else "Get back to the Man Cave now, like right now".
"You're awesome, Kai!" I smiled internally "see'ya later, love you, click".
"Click".
He hung up the phone.
To be honest I didn't know how to answer that, I mean, I did love him, and I've told him that many times, only this time it was different, just like the hug earlier, I didn't want to be paranoid but I was starting to worry a little, just a little, as long as it's not what I think it is... mhm.
Jasper and I stood in the Man Cave waiting for Charlotte to return with Schwoz, and for Ray and Henry to return, which from the tone of his voice seemed like everything had gone well, excellent. Jasper had stopped moving just a little, but he kept flinching and closing his eyes, giving a moan of pain, jeez.
(...)
Schwoz and Charlotte came back, and together they put together some sort of machine in the middle of the Man Cave, it was some sort of capsule, with a mini capsule on one side, it had several tubes connected to the large capsule, and some sort of laboratory machine on the other side, it was more like a chamber... never mind, I didn't even know what it was, I just knew that it was going to give Henry his superpowers back, which was the important thing.
"Okay, Jasper" Schwoz said ", get into the capsule, open your mouth, and when I say so, get out of there, okay?" he nodded "Kai, I think you'll have to go in with him, so he doesn't screw it up".
I tilted my head and sighed "Okay, let's go Jasper".
Still with my hand over his mouth, Jasper and I went inside the large capsule, it was a bit small for two people to be at the same time, so we had to squeeze in just a little, plus it's Jasper, the kid was like the brother I never had and... forget it, I have 4 idiots at home, I take back what I said, but there was nothing awkward about this.
"Kai, take your hand off his mouth" Schwoz ordered "Jasper, open your mouth" the little bee shot out of it, allowing Jasper to breathe normally.
The bee flew and flew everywhere, until it entered the mini capsule that was connected to the big one, from the outside Charlotte closed it with a lever.
"You can get out now".
We both got out of the capsule catching our breath, when we finished, we got back up. I looked up at Jasper who had his tongue out and... God, how disgusting! I made a face at what I was seeing... argh, I don't think I'll sleep for days.
"What's wrong?" he asked with his tongue still hanging out.
I took him by the shoulders and turned him towards Charlotte, who had the exact same expression as me when I saw his tongue.
"What?" he asked again.
Charlotte took out a lamp that was in one of the drawers, and took Jasper near the elevator so she could fix his situation or... at least see if it could be fixed... now I couldn't get that image out of my head.
Anyway, the sound of the tubes began to sound, indicating that Henry and Ray were about to arrive, seconds later as expected the two of them appeared there.
"Where's the bee?" Henry asked as he walked down the stairs.
"Right there" I pointed at the mini capsule with my eyes.
Henry smiled "thanks for bringing it" and I returned the gesture.
"Hey!" oh Jasper "give me the (unintelligible) my mouth!".
Although I must admit that it was fun and very funny to hear him talk like that.
"Why are you talking like that?" Ray asked confused.
Jasper slowly turned to them, revealing his disgusting, disgusting, repulsive tongue that had been attacked by the bee, it had some kind of stings that weren't stings, nor could you tell what they were, but it was disgusting, even more than Ray's video when he wanted to do the 6-second challenge.
"Ohhhh! Aaaay!" Ray and Henry exclaimed at the same time.
"But wait" Henry said confused "I thought bees only had one stinger, and it falls off when it stings you".
"Henry this is not the time for 'true facts about bees'" Ray continued.
"Yeah, you're right" he took a pair of tweezers that were in one of the drawers and gave them to Jasper "here, use these Man Tweezers to remove whatever you have there".
"Thank you, I'll give them back to you in no time".
Ray made a disgusted face "Yeah, you can just keep those".
"Od! Thank you".
Jasper walked out the monitor door to the bathroom, leaving us a little uncomfortable with the image of his tongue, but it was something that should be overcome... at least I hope it can be overcome.
Anyway, Henry walked up to me a little nervous, playing with his hands.
"How did it go?".
"Good" I answered tired "coming back was somewhat intense because you know, we used Jasper as a jar" we both laughed "but everything was fine, and you? How was it?".
He scratched the back of his neck "Well, we managed to get all the thugs out of the house".
"Wow, really?" I opened my eyes in surprise "That's great, what a relief".
"I guess so".
Henry's expressions looked sad and worried, I didn't blame him, my boy... AH! It's the second time, Henry, Henry, lost his superpowers, in fact when I found out the secret he had just got them, I'd been in the Man Cave the same as him with his superpowers, and now he lost them.
I approached him and hugged him again, at least I could do something with that hug, I didn't know what, but it was something. He hugged me back, and hid his face in my neck, I felt him let out a sigh. I'm not going to lie this broke my heart.
"Ah, hello?" Ray said "I don't want to interrupt your cheesy moment but, Kid, we got to get your powers back".
Henry separated from me and nodded, then walked to where Schwoz was fixing some things on the machine.
"Schwoz, am I getting my powers back?".
"Yes, yes, yes, you get in the capsule" he began to say, "I press a button, your powers will be transferred from the bee to your body".
He smiled "great".
"Come on, get in the capsule, get in the capsule".
Henry got in the capsule, Ray closed the door, I walked to stand next to Charlotte, who gave me a kind of blue remote with buttons, then stood next to the capsule.
"Hen, can you hear us?" my friend asked while pressing a button that was a microphone.
"Loud and clear" he answered, "let's do this".
"Okay, I'm going to release the bee into the capsule" said Schwoz "then you have to make it really angry for it to sting you".
Henry looked at him surprised "What?".
"Yes, then I'm going to have to move something to activate the ribonucleic gas, at the precise moment that it stings you..." why do I have a bad feeling? "... which is going to make the sting hurt even more".
There it is, poor boy.
"You never said anything about that before I entered the capsule" exclaimed Henry with a scared tone.
Schwoz laughed maliciously "Yes, I know" I looked at him badly, but it made sense to a certain point "Charlotte, release the bee".
"What?! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! Wait a second!" Charlotte released the bee "Why... why does it have to sting me?! Why can't you just move something?! Something else! Something more scientific that doesn't hurt so much!" the bee was already inside the capsule.
I made a face with my mouth and crossed my arms, watching poor Henry fight with the bee.
"I... I don't like bees guys! This is going to hurt!"
"This is really sad to hear" said Ray putting on a sad face "can you mute him?".
Char nodded "Kai, that's what the remote is for".
I took out the remote Charlotte had given me and pressed a button pointing at Henry.
"No me gustan las abejas, chicos, en serio, en verdad odio las abejas, no quiero que me pique!", he was speaking Spanish, I think I pressed one that wasn't it "Realmente no quiero estar aquí, sáquenme de aquí, en verdad estoy odiando esto".
"Sorry" I smiled innocently "that was the Spanish button".
I pressed another button, aiming at him again, and his screams stopped in a moment, funny thing, it felt better than listening to him complain and yell that he hated bees in Spanish, huh.
Henry started to move even more, no idea what he was saying, but he was already in what seemed like a war with the bee. He moved his hand to one side, moved his hand to the other side, when suddenly, the little insect had stopped on Henry's cheek, looking a little angry.
"Is it gonna sting him?" Charlotte asked.
"He's thinking about it," Ray answered.
And as expected, the bee stung Henry on the cheek, making him make a whiny face.
"There we go."
As soon as it stung him, Schwoz released the ribonucleic gas, which was entering through the tubes that were connected to the capsule. This was like a movie, the gas was coming in from the bottom, it was yellow and green in color, and it was coming in through Henry's nose and mouth.
I gulped, waiting for this to really work. When the gas stopped coming out, Schwoz moved some buttons, and Henry started banging on the glass door to let him out. I quickly went to it, unlocked it, and let him out.
"Did it work?" I asked worriedly. "Do you feel fast?"
"I don't know," he answered.
"TESTING ROCK!".
Ray threw the rock, which Henry agilely dodged, hitting Schwoz in the forehead, causing him to fall.
"Great!" I shouted while hugging him.
"Yes!".
"Wow!".
Henry received my hug and his attitude changed too quickly, according to the one he had a while ago.
"Quick!" he exclaimed happily "someone throw more things at me".
"I'm going to throw something to you" said Schwoz getting up from the ground "now you can fly too".
The boy opened his mouth surprised trying to articulate some word.
"Really?" he asked incredulously.
Schwoz nodded "Yes! Now you have all the powers of that bee, you can fly, just... jump and believe!".
"What?! It's not fair, I wanna fly!" Ray complained.
"Get out of the way old man, I'm gonna fly".
Henry climbed onto the swivel chair and positioned himself in a corner of it... something told me it would end badly.
"See you in the clouds! Earthwalkers!".
He threw himself off the chair, falling to the floor, making us all burst out laughing, well at least Schwoz, Charlotte and I, I felt bad for doing it, but I must admit that it had been way too funny.
"I can't believe you actually thought you could fly" Schwoz.
"You literally fell for that" Charlotte emphasized the word 'fell'.
We laughed a lot more, I repeat I felt bad, but it was so funny.
"Not cool Schwoz!".
Ray held out a hand to Henry to help him up, when he was already getting up, he stuck his tongue out at me like a child for having made fun of him, I just returned the funny sign, receiving a smile from him.
Everything seemed normal, it was back to normal, Henry with his powers, they just had to find Rick Twitler and take him to jail.
But if life was that easy, everyone would do it, the computers began to distort, the images of the Man Cave were no longer there, and in them appeared the person who now I hated more than all my life.
"What's up Man Cave?" he greeted smiling.
Speaking of the King of Rome, Rick Twitler.
