Substitute Teacher
Brianna's POV
I was playing my guitar and writing a couple of songs for my Talent Show at school. Then as I am wrapping up my song, Dad comes in with Ari on his tail.
"Bri! Bri!". Dad said frantically. I was a little busy singing and playing my guitar can't you tell.
"Come on!". Ari said pulling my arm, and dragging me out of my room.
"If you keep pulling on my arm, I won't have one!" I snapped at her, and she backed away towards Dad.
"Gooch! What happened?! I was busy for the Talent Show at school." I exclaimed getting annoyed.
"Why did you send us an emergency signal?" Dad asked Gooch.
"Look. That is a garbage juicer!" Gooch grins and we look at the large juicer in front of us.
"A garbage juicer really?" I ask in annoyance.
"It juices garbage." Gooch adds.
"No really?" I sarcastically question.
"Gooch I was busy downstairs researching criminals." Dad informs Gooch and me and Ari raise our eyebrows.
"I thought you were-Mmmmm." Dad covers my mouth and I frown.
"Shush R." Dad removes his hand and I huff.
"Watch." Gooch tells us and opens the juicer. He lifts up a garbage bin and dumps all the trash in the juicer. I scrunch my nose in disgust. "I dump the garbage into the thingy!"
"Gooch." I complain. Me and Ari put our hands over our mouths.
"Now observe." Gooch tells us and turns on the juicer. I watch in disgust as green liquid pours into a cup and me and Ari mentally gag at the sight.
"You see? The garbage is gone." Gooch points out.
"So its my appetite." Me and Ari say and look away.
"It's all in the juice." Gooch says and I look back to see him holding the juice.
"Can we go back downstairs now?" I ask and Gooch looks away.
"Ray! Aria! Brinnie! We gotta talk to you!" We turn to see Henry and Charlotte entering the shop. "This is important. There is a creepy kid at our school."
Dad groans. "Ugh, can we talk about it downstairs? Gooch's juice smells."
"Okay." Henry agrees and we head toward the elevator.
"I'm coming too." Charlotte says and follows us.
Henry explained who the kid was and that they think he's up to something.
"Why do you think this Ortho kids up to something?" I ask them as the elevator doors shut.
"Well, he was asking about the schools water supply." Henry begins.
"And he wanted to know about the security cameras and-"
Charlotte was interrupted by dad pressing the button and we got shut down the elevator. Henry and Charlotte, freak out and yell while Dad and me and Ari stand perfectly still.
"I was wondering why he was asking about those things!" Ari yells over their screams and the elevator.
"Guys? Oh stop screaming." Dad says and he elevator reached the bottom and they land on the ground roughly.
"Can't the elevator be adjusted?" Charlotte suggests.
"Why do you say this Ortho kid is creepy?" Dad repeats.
"Because he says weird stuff. And he's got this crazy psycho look in his eye." Henry explains as we leave the elevator and I fix my hair, and Ari fixes her braids.
"You got a picture?" I ask.
"Uh." Henry and Charlotte think before Charlotte speaks. "Jasper Twitflash."
"Oh yeah Jasper posted a pic of him and Ortho on his Twitflash." Henry mentions.
"Then I say we look at Jasper's Twitflash." Ari declares, looking into the distance. "Henry, Charlotte, dad share a weird look before looking at Jasper's Twitflash.
"Bucket. Bucket. Selfie with Bucket. Bucket. Bucket." Henry sighs.
I am bored. Can I go now.
"Ah. That's Ortho right there." Henry finally said and we all walk to him.
Henry points to the screen and we see Jasper and a kid with glasses, and red, puffy hair.
"Hmm. He's a boy alright." Dad wonders, out loud.
"A boy that's up to no good." Charlotte remarks.
Me and Ari scoff at this. Before saying, "Oh, give him a break!"
"What?" Henry and Charlotte asks.
"The kids new to your school he's probably just a little awkward." Dad agrees with me and Ari. "Let's not make mumps of marshmallows."
"Huh?" I question.
"He also threatened you and Bri." Henry points out and I jump out of my seat.
"Me?!" Dad gasps. "What did that little brat say?"
"That his father was gonna take care of you." Charlotte summarizes using quotation marks.
"What about me?" I ask a little nervously.
"That he was to marry you whether you like it or not!" Henry remarks.
"Ew no. I don't even want a boyfriend. And tell him no, thanks." I corrected him.
"Wait he said his father was gonna take care of me?" Dad pauses before thinking.
"Yep." Henry responded.
"Sure did." Charlotte says.
Dad snaps and points to the screen.
"Put that kids pic back up on the monitor and zoom in." I said, and Dad nods his head.
Henry puts the picture back up and zooms in on Ortho's face.
"Daddy, his hair, you don't think that's..." I said getting nervous and my hair slowly gets wet and my eyes turn a light blue.
Dad looks at me. Then he grabs a towel before saying, "You guys ever heard of Drill Finger?"
The tosses me the towel and I catch it, and I ring out my hair.
"Those little pickles?" Charlotte asks.
"I love Dill Fingers!" Ari beams.
"What's with y'all and pickles they are nasty, and slimy!" I exclaimed and I finish ring out the water out of my hair.
"This is not about pickles." Dad snaps and they stop talking. "We are talking about a dentist."
"Named Drill Finger?" Henry continues.
"Yeah. He us to be dentist until he turned to a life of crime." I explain.
"Three years ago, he kidnapped the mayor of Swellview and removed all his teeth." I informed Henry and Charlotte gesturing to my teeth. "Which left him toothless."
"That's why he only eats soup!" Henry chips in.
"Exactly." Dad nods.
"And what happened to Drill Finger?" Charlotte asks.
"Me and Dad captured and took him to jail." Ari explained. "But he was released three weeks ago."
Dad pulled up a picture of Drill Finger. He had hair similar to Ortho's except he had on a purple mask.
"That's Drill Finger." Dad points out.
Stella comes towards us and Charlotte picks up her and pets her.
"She likes when you let her behind her ears." I told Charlotte and she nodded her head.
"Does he always wear a mask?" Henry asks.
"Yeah but look at his hair?" Dad said gestured to both Ortho and Drill Finger.
"Just like Ortho's." Charlotte mentions, and Stella purrs in Charlotte's arms.
"Gooch." I called.
"Hey Brinnie! I can't talk right now." Gooch dismisses. "I'm on the phone with my nephew, Benji. He has the Chicken Pox."
"Do you remember when me and Dad put Drill Finger in jail?" Dad asks him and Gooch nods.
"Of course."
"What were his exact words as they took him away?" Dad questioned rubbing my back because of how tense I was getting.
"He said, 'As soon as I get out of here, I'm going to take care of Captain Man and Girl Danger." Gooch rephrases and Dad had a frown on his face. Ari groans quietly.
"That's what I thought."
"Great. I got to go." Gooch mutters before I ended the call.
"So Ortho is the son of Drill Finger." Henry confirms and I walked out of my seat.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew that boy was evil! I knew it!" Charlotte exclaimed.
"Yeah, but did you know it?" I questioned her.
"I did."
"But what are they up to?" Dad questions, as him and Ari are stroking their chins, as they both sigh. "Well, I guess I'm not going to figure it out but wearing a loud shirt and stroking my chin."
"What do we do?" I ask Dad sitting on the back of the couch.
"I'm going to do a little spying on your classmate, Ortho." Dad begins. "I'm going to have to figure out a way into your school. Maybe as a substitute teacher."
"Well you can't wait until one of our teachers get sick." Charlotte point out.
"Hmm. Good point." Dad says. "I'll have to think of a plan." He seemed brain dead and blew his lips out.
"Try stroking your chin." Henry suggests and Dad started stroking his chin, looking into the distance.
Seconds later the four of us joined in on the stroking of the chin.
Oddly enough this works.

Ari's POV
The two days had passed and Dad had a plan. Henry and Charlotte don't know about the plan but he told me and Bri. Dad got Henry and Charlotte's teacher sick and gave her the chicken pox from Gooch's nephew, so Dad oils spy on Ortho.
Another day had passed and Dad, Henry and Charlotte kidnapped Ortho and his father. They had knocked them out with their Whiz Watches and chained them up in the middle of the Man Cave. Dad and Henry changed into their Captain man and Kid Danger forms before we walked into the Man Cave.
"Well."
"Well."
"Well."
"Well."
"We only do three 'wells'." Dad tells Henry as we walked out.
"So, mister." I begin. "Are you ready to admit that you're Drill Finger."
"What?" Ortho asks.
"Who's Drill Finger?" The father asks.
"You know you're Drill Finger!" Charlotte scolds.
"You're a psychotic evil dentist!" Bri exclaimed.
"And now it's your turn to drilled!" I threatened.
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know man." I sighed at Henry.
"I'm not a dentist. I don't even floss." The father protests and just then the ember signal blared.
"Just a second." I tell them.
"Okay honey." Ortho said and I went back up towards them and smacked him in the face.
We rush over to the monitor and Dad answers Gooch's call.
"What Gooch? We're busy with Drill Finger." I exclaimed.
"No you're not." Gooch denies.
"Huh?"
"Drill Finger was just spotted in Nebraska." Gooch informs and I twiddle with my fingers. Something I do when I'm nervous or anxious.
"Nebraska?" Henry asks.
"Affirmative." Gooch nods. "He put four megatons of sugar into the water supply."
"Situation." Me and Dad ask, at the same time.
"Water very sweet." Gooch answers. "Teeth in danger."
"Understood." I day before ending the call.
"What do we do?" Henry asks.
"Nothing, we only protect Swellview. Nebraska, not our problem." I said and Bri nods her head.
"Right." Henry nods.
"But you guys if the real Drill Finger is in Nebraska, who's that guy?" Charlotte asks, gesturing to Ortho's father.
"He's my dad, you dip twists!" Ortho snaps angrily.
"But..." Henry trails off before we march up to them. "Why'd you want to know where our schools water supply was?"
"Because my uncle sells water filters for schools and small businesses." Ortho reasons.
"Oh." The five of us say.
"Okay but why did you ask about our schools security cameras?" Charlotte questions.
"Because at Ortho's last school, the security cameras caught him picking his nose." Ortho's dad replies and me and Bri wrinkle our noses in disgust.
"Oh."
"Ew."
"After that some of the kids called me Booger Boy."
I laughed and making the rest of them glare at me making me stop.
"Kids can be cruel."
"Okay wait!" I protest. "Then why did you say that your dad was gonna 'take care' of Captain Man Girl Danger?"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Because my Dad owns a chain of retirement homes for old people." Ortho reasons.
"And I'm building a new one in Swellview." His father continued.
"It's still in the planning phase!" Ortho finishes.
"And when Captain Man and Girl Danger get old, I hoped I could take care of them." His father adds on and glares at me and Dad. "To thank them for being such wonderful superhero's."
Me and Henry share a sheepish look and I nervously twiddle with my thumbs as Dad chuckles. "Will you excuse us for just one second? We'll be right back."
"Okay we screwed up bad!" Dad admits with regret.
"Ya think!" I exclaimed.
"I better not get into trouble." Bri said sighed.
"Let's just calm down." Dad assures.
"Hey just know. I am not going to jail for the two of you!" Charlotte exclaims.
"What about Bri?" Henry asks and she whacked his arm.
"I'm an innocent bystander in all this." I remark and Dad and Henry shush me.
We casually approach the father and son duo with a smile.
"Hey!" Dad greets. "So good news."
"What?" Ortho snaps.
"We've clearly made a mistake here." Dad admits.
"No really!" Me and Bri exclaimed earning a glare from Dad and Henry.
"So we are going to let you go." Henry informs them.
"As long as you promise not to mention all this to anyone." Dad mentioned.
"Are you nuts?!" Ortho scolds.
"We ask him that every day." Ri said, earning another glare from Dad and Henry.
"As soon as we get out here, we re going right to the police!" Ortho's father declares.
"Well, in that case." Dad shoots both of them with his laser and they pass out.
"What'd you do that for?" Henry asks.
"Just help me get them down." Dad sighs and the rest of us sigh.
"Aw, man." Charlotte and I complain as we start to get Ortho and his dad free.

Bri's POV
We unchained Ortho and his father and took them to empty alleyway.
Charlotte and I stood in the alleyway and waited for Dad and Henry to drop them off.
"Will you guys hurry up?" I rush them. "It's cold."
"What about when they wake up?" Henry asks Dad. "They're going to get us in trouble."
"Not if they don't remember anything that happened." Dad remarks as he pulls out his memory wiper.
He used it on Ortho and his father.
"There."
"Now they won't remember anything?" Henry questions.
"Not even where they live." I smirk and Henry and Charlotte chuckle.
"Awesome." Henry smiles.
"They're waking up!" Charlotte warms us and I optic everywhere them move around a little.
"Run!" Dad warns us and we rush to the car. We get inside and Dad drives us away.

Still Bri's POV
"I have a question Henry?" I ask, him. He turns around and faces me.
"Yeah what's up?" He asks.
"Is your friend Jasper cute?" I ask and he looks at me like I'm crazy.
"Yeah. Sure is why? No one has ever said that about him before, literally no one." Henry replies.
"Okay." I replied and we gave each other a quick hug and then I walk towards the car.
