Chapter 19: Batter
Two weeks later...
Connor: "Quadratic functions are..."
Jeremy: "... to complicated for you."
Connor: "Hey!"
Connor, Jeremy, and Ashley are currently heading towards Matt's.
Jeremy: "You clearly bombed the test."
Connor: "Yeah, but you don't need to remind me!"
Ashley: "(sighing) Are you guys going to do this every time?"
Jeremy: "Yes."
They've just passed by some construction outside the mall.
Ashley: "I think that was from that Focus Wave you missed."
They step through the glass doors.
Jeremy: "Probably."
They stroll through the 1st floor, seeing the accidental damage they caused.
Connor: "Yeah that one might've been me."
Jeremy: "We really have to try and keep damage to a minimum."
They arrive at Matt's.
Ashley: "I can't cause damage like that. It's you two dweebs."
They step inside.
Connor: "Of course."
Dominic and Dawn are sitting in a booth while Matt is at the counter, covered in bandages.
Dawn: "Hey."
Matt: "You're a little late."
Jeremy uses his Heal Wave to speed up the healing on Matt's injuries.
Jeremy: "A little detour."
Jeremy stops to preserve his energy.
Connor: "Classes too forever to get out today."
Dominic: "At least Beacon has been quiet lately."
Dawn pulls out a handheld device.
Dawn: "Any idea on when we're going to kick some ass?"
Jeremy's phone begins to ring.
Connor: "I guess we can go whenever if-"
Jeremy answers the phone.
Jeremy: "Jeremy speaking."
Phone: "Where are you ya nerd?"
A spark flashes in his eyes.
Jeremy: "Old fart?"
Dawn: "Huh?"
Connor: "Your dad?"
Ashley: "Say what now?"
Jeremy: "I'm with my friends at the mall."
Jeremy's Dad: "You sure you didn't accidentally use the plural?"
Jeremy counts everyone.
Jeremy: "No I didn't mess up."
Dominic: "You know his dad?"
Connor: "He's the star batter for our state baseball team."
Dawn: "(focusing) Cool."
Jeremy's Dad: "Huh, I guess coach knew you had a few."
Fear enters their hearts.
Jeremy: "Knew?"
Jeremy's Dad: "He says that he wanted all of you to check out the stadium before the last game of the season."
Jeremy: "When do you want us over?"
Jeremy's Dad: "Some point today."
Jeremy: "G-Good thing we were about to leave."
Jeremy's Dad: "See you soon then!"
He hangs up.
Connor: "Beacon 100%."
Jeremy pockets his phone.
Dominic: "Yeah, but Jeremy's dad is in danger."
Dawn: "Scratch that, our baseball team."
Jeremy picks up a new aluminum bat from the corner.
Jeremy: "Then we just save them."
Connor grabs a cheap driver club as Ashley puts on new arm wraps and Dawn with a decent quality slingshot.
Ashley: "(sighing) At least we could catch a break."
Everyone has updated Relay Gear.
Dominic: "Then grab a coffee and let's go!"
Dawn puts down enough money for four small coffees.
Matt: "(smirking) I'm on it."
Matt begins preparing drinks.
Dawn: "Then it's time to kick some ass!"
