*Days After (Issue #6)*

*Morning*
*Phoenix Pact's Living Room*

*Arctic stood over Sparky, Gyro and Heat as the three appeared exhausted, slumped on the living room couch. Arctic folded his arms as he quickly pondered to himself*

Sparky: All right man...we're up...so what's going on?
Arctic: Okay, so you guys know how I usually spend my early mornings on super hero neighborhood watch mode?

*They all nodded with Heat almost nodding off*

Gyro: Ya, I saw you out like five times already this week.
Heat: Did you see that smoke dude again?
Arctic: Worse...

*They all looked bewildered while Arctic got out the remote for their TV*

Arctic: Well first I was doing the patrol when suddenly this middle age woman came up to me talking about "Oh, I love how your group is busting those drug users." And I'm like what? And she was like "Ya, I saw the video of you and you four friends take out that druggy Smoke Screen to get weed finally out of our neighborhood".
Sparky: Wait...video?
Arctic: Ya, so uh...

*Arctic turned the TV on with it showing a news video on pause*

Arctic: Get ready to be called hypocrites.

*Arctic played the news video with them all watching in fascination*

[Female News Anchor (On TV): Alright, so he may have called them the foolish four, but a lot of them are calling them heroes. Here is our new reporter Tonya Fondozzi for more details.]

*Video of the Phoenix Pact facing off against Smoke Screen played*

[Tonya Fondozzi (On TV): These heroes call themselves...]
[Heat (On TV): "We're the Phoenix Pact!"]
[Tonya Fondozzi (On TV): Yes, the Phoenix Pact...and even though they seem to have many enemies. They also are garnering some friends.]

*Video showed of a room filled with middle age women in a community center. the camera panned to a sign saying "Mom's Against Marijuana" and "M.A.M" then abruptly to a middle aged woman*

[Middle Age Woman (On TV): It's good to see heroes standing up against drug dealers and pot heads. Why can't these druggies get drunk like the rest of us.]

Gyro: Is this actually real?

*Arctic looked at her as he nodded*

Arctic: Yep, we're apparently role models now.

*Sparky sighed in disbelief*

Sparky: Role Models? Us?
Gyro: Exactly, we're random and raunchy-

*Video showed a little boy as he smiled*

[Little Young Boy (On TV): I like the one with the helmet; he was really cool.]

*It then cut to two twin little girls with red hair*

[Tonya Fondozzi (On TV): And what did you think?]
[Twin Girl (On TV): I liked the fire one, she was tough.]
[Twin Girl (2) (On TV): Well I really liked the one with red hair cause, I have red hair and we're just alike...and her powers were cool too.]

*Gyro was utterly speechless as she quietly stroked her red hair*

[Tonya Fondozzi (On TV): So let's look forward to these new heroes on the block as they inspire our youngest, now back to you Jesse.]

*The video ended as Gyro contemplated to herself*

Gyro: Little red heads across the world look up to me? What have I got myself into...
Arctic: Well, guys, we're the local sensation, like a popstar who visits their home town. Except the town doesn't know our druggy hazy past. So what do we do? How do we go about this?
Heat: I don't think there's much of a discussion. I mean we're done with that stuff.

*Heat scanned each of them as Arctic shook his head*

Arctic: Well, I meant as far as the whole debate.
Heat: Debate?
Arctic: That group "Moms Against Marijuana" thinks drugs are bad-
Heat: And they probably are.

*Gyro glared at Heat in disbelief*

Gyro: What are you talking about? Bad for who? They're just prissy older hags who hate us young folks for having fun.

*Heat gave Gyro a stern look*

Heat: And I bet you have a stash on you right now.

*Heat quickly turned to Sparky*

Heat: Does she have a stash on her Sparks?
Gyro: Why don't you ask me instead of getting Sparky in this?
Sparky: I kind of have to agree. I don't want to be burned or blasted.

*Heat then glared at Gyro*

Heat: Oh, why would I waste my time, with a person who would lie to me either way!?!?
Arctic: Alright! Let's be civil! I just want to know if-

*Gyro scoffs as she turns to Arctic*

Gyro: How can I be civil? When miss weenie wants to take away my right to be free and smoke up.
Heat: Weenie? Why because you can't do one thing?
Gyro: It's a ridiculous law and you're acting like there's some sort of logical reason behind it.
Heat: Of course, there is...what do you think that they would make it illegal just to make it illegal?
Gyro: With all these super powered idiots flying around; I wouldn't put it pass these humans to have a whole slew of laws that are dumb as sh*t to feel like they have some semblance of control.
Sparky: Wait, we're really having this debate?
Arctic: I...I guess, if you want to call this a debate.
Sparky: Wait before the rebuttal let me just-

*Sparky got off of the couch as he sat ahead of them while Gyro and Heat went to the edges of the couch*

*The lights dimmed as Sparky shined a ceiling light on himself*

Sparky: Arctic and I will be the moderators of tonight's debate while Heat is-

*Heat made a long sighed as she slowly shook her head at Sparky*

Heat: Sparky, just get the light back on, it's not that serious.

*The lights went back to normal as Sparky looked disappointed*

Sparky: Whatever, go ahead.
Heat: Well, what I was getting at is that I heard it's addictive, gets you into other drugs and fuels criminal empires.
Gyro: Well, maybe if it was legal it wouldn't be doing that. Those older house wives don't even do drugs so what do they care if it's illegal...what do they care if someone goes to jail for something this stupid.
Heat: You don't know anything about these mothers, ya they're not us...some of them may or probably haven't seen drugs or experience them but it's obvious that they are affected by it, because if they weren't they wouldn't be giving a single thought about this issue.

*Sparky glanced at a clock as he looked back at Gyro*

Sparky: Oh, uh it's almost nine.
Gyro / Heat: Oh, sh*t!

*Gyro and Heat shot up from the couch and raced to their rooms*

Gyro: Heat do you have an extra shirt I can borrow? I accidentally spilled meatball sauce on mine.
Heat: Yeah, just borrow mine; I have another shirt that looks like our work shirt.

*They both rushed to the back as Arctic and Sparky looked at each other*

Arctic: So anyway, is our group over all pro or anti marijuana?
Sparky: Just mark us undecided.
Arctic: Sounds about right.

--------------------------------------(Scene#1)---------------------------------------

*A man with drugs in his back pocket held his hand out in fright backing himself onto a brick wall in an alleyway*

Man with Drugs in his Pocket: Man, I don't want any trouble-

*Smoke Screen was in front of him as he snapped his fingers with two strong muscle men grabbing the guy*

Man with Drugs in his Pocket: No I'll pay ball, I swear!
Smoke Screen: Oh don't worry, I know you will.

*The buff men started to punch the man multiple times. The men then grabbed his drugs from him and wallet as they gave the drugs and money, from the wallet, to Smoke Screen*

Smoke Screen: Think of this as an exit fee! Hahahahaa! Let's do this again!

*In a public bathroom*
*Smoke Screen snapped his fingers as his muscle men swirly a man in a toilet with the buff men giving him money and drugs*

Smoke Screen: Hahaha Nerd!

*In an empty baseball field*
*Smoke Screen watched as his henchman beat up another dealer*

Smoke Screen: Looks like someone struck out, Hahaha! Or- or my dealers are hitting a homerun on your face, hahaha! Or-or....

*His henchman stopped and stared at him as the person being beat up stared at him as well*

Smoke Screen: Okay, I'll stop. Was just trying to liven up the mood.

*In a parking garage*
*Smoke Screen stepped towards a slim curly haired young woman as she backed herself into a car*

Curly Haired Young Woman: Back off, bro! I know a person, that knows those heroes that kicked your ass!

*She got out her phone as Smoke Screen and his  looming henchman stopped*

Curly Haired Young Woman: Ya, that's right! They're going to kick your ass if you touch me!
Smoke Screen: Actually, in that case, I have a better idea.
Curly Haired Young Woman: Ugh, wait what do you mean?

*The curly haired young woman looked at them in pure confusion as her phone began to ring*

--------------------------------------(Scene#2)---------------------------------------

*Early Evening*
*Casey appeared worried while she was pacing behind the sub shop, gripping her phone intensely to her ear. Her pacing grew more intense as she at first pondered to herself then sat along the nearby dumpster. She gloomily stared at her phone's missed call screen. She calls the number again with her head slowing arching downward*

Casey: Chelsey, come on pick up...this isn't you.

*Casey then slowly stood up wrapping her hand around her stomach*
*Beep*

Casey: Hey, this is Casey, just uh text me or...something, bye.

*Casey ended the call, reluctantly putting the phone in her pocket. She lumbered to the back door of the sub shop. She opened the door to see Gyro leaning on the wall peering over to her inquisitively*

Casey: Gyro?
Gyro: Are you back from your break yet? It feels like it's been longer than thirty minutes.
Casey: Ya, sure...just uh...ya, go for it.

*Casey, still distraught, loomed passed Gyro.Gyro concernedly looked at her then walked along with her*

Gyro: Is everything all right?
Casey: I uh...uhm I-...sorry, it's nothing.

*Casey suddenly stopped at the register area to look at Heat preparing a sub for a customer*

Casey: You guys wouldn't understand...

*Gyro then glanced at Heat as she then looked back at Casey*

Gyro: We're not all alike you know, we're all from different types of struggles.
Casey: I've seen the news cast though...you heroes wouldn't understand.

*Gyro scoffed as she seemed irritated*

Gyro: Oh f*ck that video! Did you see that part about the mom's against pot thing, that was so lame.

*Casey seemed confused as she then folded her arms*

Casey: Lame?
Gyro: Oh, come on, a bunch of lame elderly farts with nothing to do, telling us what we can and cannot smoke.

*Casey seemed beside herself as she then pulled Gyro to the side*

Gyro: Hey, what now?
Casey: I have a friend...who uhm...look maybe they're not doing everything legally but they still deserve someone to look after them without them getting into further trouble.
Gyro: And who does your friend need protection from?
Casey: So, uhm...I know a certain bad guy you all crushed is now crushing all his competitors and...my friend was one of them. She was afraid he would come after her...and now she's not answering her phone. She usually never shuts up but she hasn't been talking for hours.

*Gyro nodded as she folded her arms*

Gyro: Alright, we'll help and we won't ask any more questions.

*Casey nodded as she sighed in relief*

Casey: Thanks.

--------------------------------------(Scene#3)---------------------------------------

*Late Evening*
*Heat and Gyro were in a parking garage as Casey was leading them. Casey peered around the very few cars that were there as Gyro and Heat thoroughly scanned the area*

Heat: I don't see anyone.
Casey: I know she usually is here but-

*RewRewRewRewRew*
*A car alarm went off a floor above them as they raced toward the sound. They eventually got to the car that went off as they found the curly haired drug dealer from before beaten up and trying to get up*

Casey: Chelsey!
Chelsey: Casey?

*Casey helped her up as they went away from the car while its alarm was still going off. Chelsey glanced to Gyro and then to Heat as she then quickly looked to Casey*

Chelsey: You got those heroes to help? Do you not know what I'm doing here?
Casey: They're cool.
Chelsey: Cool? Did you not hear about them?
Heat: Look, I don't know what you do and I will not ask.
Gyro: And who cares anyway, I say you should be free to be able to do what you want.
Heat: Either way, you got hurt and I just want to know who did it.
Chelsey: That a**hole Smoke Screen. He and some thugs came and...knocked me out, all because I wouldn't bow down to him.
Heat: Damn, he must have become a bigger threat since we last fought him.
Gyro: Guess that means we need to bust his ass.
Heat: Well, before that let's get you to a hospital.
Chelsey: Wait, I think he was planning something else though.

*Something quickly flew around the parking garage as Heat and Gyro caught a glimpse of it*

Heat: Whoa, what was that?

*Something was heard landing above them on the top floor as Heat and Gyro looked at each other*

Gyro: So you're going to check that out right?
Heat: No, I should protect Casey and her friend. You're the strongest out of both of us, you go check it out.
Gyro: You're far more heroic-
Casey: What the hell!?

*Heat and Gyro both gawked at her*

Heat/Gyro: Hell? The f*ck does that mean!?

*Casey pointed to Vulture [An old man with a simple dream] as he was soaring toward the parking garage*

Heat: Is that an old man?

*Gyro chuckled as she glanced at him then looked at Heat*

Gyro: I don't know if I should laugh or call a nursing home?

*When Vulture got close he threw two sleeping grenades as Gyro quickly contained them in a blue energy field*

Gyro: What's wrong with all these old people, they're all crazy.
Heat: Casey, let's go...Gyro handle him!

*Vulture flew up above the parking garage as Gyro seemed baffled with her turning to Heat*

Gyro: What!? You better back me up!

*Heat, Casey and Chelsey started to go toward the Elevator as the Elevator door opened revealing Shocker and Black Cat*

Heat: Oh, son of a b*tch!

*Shocker was about to make a shock wave toward her as Heat quickly balled her fist and punched forward making a huge heat wave sending Shocker [Generic Spider-Man Villain with boom vroom gauntlets] and Black Cat [A Slightly Incompetent Cat Burglar] back. Heat started to back away from the elevator as she suddenly turned to Casey*

Heat: We'll hold these people off, just get her out of here!
Casey: Alright, don't die, cause I wanted you to take my shift tomorrow.
Heat: Uh....

*Shocker and Black cat got up as they seemed ready to fight as Heat's arms burst into flames*

Heat: Actually, I'm about to end up using  all my sick days.

*Gyro was floating in the air, outside of the parking garage, charging her blue energy in her hands. She looked at Vulture who was circling around her in the air. Gyro glanced then gawked at an incoming car that was being chucked to her. She quickly dodged out the way as she saw Titania [A Strong female villain but a weak ass personality]*

Gyro: That was about to hit me! What's all this sh*t about!?

--------------------------------------(Scene#4)---------------------------------------

*Inside A Convenient Store*

*Arctic was behind a register in a convenient store, starring  at Sparky who meandered around the isles. Sparky grabbed a few snacks, from the isles, as he continued to loom around *

Arctic: You know, you don't have to be here with me.
Sparky: And do what at the house besides being bored out of my mind?
Arctic: I'm sure Gyro and Heat are back.
Sparky: And I'm sure they both still have choice words for each other...or maybe they got over it...I doubt that.

*Sparky grabbed some candy as he went to the counter*

Sparky: So I'm hungry, hungry for junk food.

*Outside the Convenient Store*

*An Uber car slowly drove into the gas station and stopped next to the convenient store. Deadpool [Heals Fast, Memes Faster] pushed himself out of an Uber car as he tossed a crayon away. The car pulled off as Deadpool checked his guns. He quickly jumped up looking at the viewpoint of the audience which was back facing the nearby road away from the entrance of the gas station. Deadpool gotten out a picture of him shooting down all the Phoenix Pact members in crayon*

Deadpool: Oh, hey!

*Deadpool looks at the picture as he smiled through his mask*

Deadpool: It's one of my treasured art pieces.

*Sparky opened the door and stared at Deadpool from behind as he froze in place from seeing his twin Katanas*

Deadpool: I'd hate to kill them too, I mean it was a good run...well not really, especially when they went overboard on their political message and the dumb debate scene. Either way, Smoke Screen is paying a lot of money to kill them and between you and me...

*Sparky seemed perplexed as Deadpool throws his drawing behind him. Sparky stared at the picture in frozen terror as Deadpool leaned in closer to the viewpoint of the audience*

Deadpool: He's offering a lot of weed for it too, what a cool guy right. He offered me a sample and I was-

*Deadpool peered into the viewpoint of the camera as a sudden look of surprise could be seen coming through his mask. He then pointed behind himself to Sparky as Sparky sporadically fled back into the store. Deadpool glanced back as no one was there. Deadpool then got out his pistol as he made a "quiet" motion with his fingers as he crouched along the side of the store*

Deadpool (Whispering): Think of it this way, once I kill them we get to focus on that weird sub-plot this story has.
