the secret gets out

Ari's POV

I was sitting on the couch listening to music with my headphones on. It is my favorite song, 'Stitches' by Shawn Mendes.

While dad was rewatching his interview with the news. He was super upset that he couldn't find the Phone Shark and it bothered him....like a lot.

Whenever me and Bri will try to comfort him he would lash out at us. Not on purpose though, he doesn't mean it, obviously. Unless we deserved it.

Bri is with Charlotte, shopping. Because Bri doesn't really leave the Man Cave. Unless its for school, or like picking up our food.

The elevator door opened and I saw a nervous Henry. I smiled at him, setting down my headphones.

"Hey Hen." I said using my nickname for him, he gave me a small smile.

"Hey Ari." He cleared his throat. "Ray?"

"Henry." I didn't know you were working today. Did Ari or I butt beep you?"

"Mines in my room so it must've been you." I tell him and he rose an eyebrow in confusion.

I put Stella down and grab her food, and grab my water bottle and take the cap off and I gently pour some water into the dish.

"No." Henry denies. "Can I talk to you both about something?"

"Babies come from the baby store and Ari isn't interested in it!" Dad answered and covering his ears.

"What?!" I explain. "We haven't started dating yet and no, and gross."

"What's up?" Dad says picking up Stella.

"You know my friend Charlotte." Henry begins and I smirk at this.

"Yeah because of B. She seems cool." I add.

"Yeah well, she's like really smart." Henry continues. "And she...kind of figured out..."

"Figured out what?" I said getting angry, and Henry flinches a little.

"That...I'm Kid Danger."

"WHAT!" I boomed ready to break something or someone.

"Isn't that kooky?" Henry said sheepishly.

"Definitely." Dad says with a terrified look on his face. He hasn't really seen me this mad before, and doesn't know what to do. Dad put down Stella and she ran to hide from me.

"Yeah! What did you tell her?" I ask getting closer to Henry who takes a couple steps back.

I didn't know this but my eyes were glowing a super bright red and my hair was on fire, and I look down at my hands they have fire balls.

"That I am...Kid Danger." Henry admits and now my hair is engulfed in flames.

"Ooooooooooo." Dad nods. "Interesting."

"You're not mad right, but she is?" Henry asks.

"What was your first clue?" I spat at him.

Next thing I knew is that I'm being dumped by water, and I look behind me and see dad with a cooler filled with water.

"Thanks." I muttered to dad and he slowly nodded his head as a response.

"You're fired." Dad said and he looked at me and grabs a towel and tosses it to me.

"Fired?" Henry questions. Making sure that he heard dad right.

"That's right. You can leave your watch on the table there " I suggest to Henry.

"But I swear I didn't want to tell her!" Henry pleads. "She figured it out!"

"Henry...you took an oath." I said getting a little mad, that he isn't listening. Henry looks down sorrowfully.

"I know, but..." Henry sighs.

"No buts." Dad said.

"You promised me and my sister, and dad that you wouldn't tell anyone." I tell him. "And we trusted you to keep that promise. When trust is broken, it can never be fixed."

"Yes it can!" Henry defends.

I got out a fortune cookie and handed it to Henry.

"Open this cookie and read the fortune." I tell him.

Henry opens the cookie and reads the fortune. "When trust is broken it can never be fixed."

"Let's not argue with the Chinese." I conclude and walkex towards the socket. "Goodbye Henry."

The next day

~~

Dad is overreacting and has to know that Henry didn't mean to tell Charlotte he's Kid Danger.

Dad was taking a shower and I was sitting at the monitor watching Avengers. It's my favorite movie.

The elevator opened and I assumed it was Bri, coming back from the sleepover with Charlotte.

"Hey Bri." I said not looking away from the movie on the screen.

"It's not Bri."

I turned and saw Henry.

"Henry!" I beamed  and ran towards him. We hug and I smile brightly at him. "What are you here?"

"I need your help. Come on." He grabs ny hand, and I press a buttom on my boots and my suit comes on me.

"Whoa! That is awesome." Henry says when he sees me in my suit.

"Thank you!" I said and pressed the button.

--

"So whats the plan?" I ask Henry. Whonwas texting dad, for whatever reason.

"Uh...yeah.." Henry stuttered.

"Okay. What is it?" I said.

"Charlotte found the Phone Shark, and she wants me to catch him, so youe dad will hire me again." Henry told me, and my face mask thing, retracted so my face so I am looking at Henry.

I pressed a button and my suit retracted.

Henry and I went to Swellview Park, and we saw Charlotte hiding behind a bench.

"What's going on?" Henry asks her and she pulls him down

"Check the guy standing by the groom." Charlotte suggest, and looks through her binoculars.

"Are you Arianna, the girl who Brianna talks about?" Charlotte asks, and I nod my head.

"She's my sister." I said in a hushed voice.

"You girls done?" Henry said.

"So...what's happening?"

"There's a guy with crazy teeth." Henry tells us and hands me the binoculars.

"Yeah he's the Phone Shark." Charlotte informs us.

"Now do dad a favor and catch the Phone Shark." I told him and he nodded his hea

"Anybody watching?" He asks and I shake my head.

"You're good."

"Why?" Charlotte ssks Henry as he blows the bubble and pops it. He turns into Kid Danger.

"Woah. How does that whole costume fit inside one little gumball?" Charlotte asks.

I didn't pay attention to the wedding itself, it was quite boring to me. I sae Henry/Kid Danger approach the wedding.

"Hey congratulations!" Henry shouts, and all the people gasp in shock and mutter silently.

"Young man...this wedding isn't over." The marriage officiant informs him.

I use my blaster on my hand and I blast him. Making him fall backwards on to the ground.

"I know, I just want to show that hairless guy my brand new phone!" Henry whips out his phone. "Thats never been bitten!" The Phone Shark licked his lips. "Come on! Yeah! You know you want to bit it!" Henry smells the phone and the Shark comes closer. "Gotta love the new phone smell!" Henry continued to bribe the Shark until he gave in.

"Give it to me!" The Phone Shark yelled at Henry.

"Catch it!" Henry threw it in the air and the Shark looked up, but Henry tackled him to the ground.

I used my telekinesis to bring the phone back over to me and Charlotte.

"Whoa!" Charlotte exclaimed.

Everyone started to freak out and panic as the Shark got uo and spun Henry around. I cringed when the wife.got knocked down but Henry was able to get the Shark down and people surrounded them.

The Shark ran to ran to tackle Henry, but he moved away, and the Shark landed on the present table.

"Phone Shark down!" A person yelled and everyone cheered.

--

"Kid Danger, how were you able to locate and finally apprehended the Phone Shark?"

"Well I'd love to take all the credit, but it was really my boss Captain Man, who made it all happen." Kid Danger/Henry informed the interviewer.

"Interesting. Can you tell us more?" She ask him.

"No."

Dad muted the and turned to Henry with shocked.

"You gave me all the credit?" He asks as he grabs Stella and  pets her.

"Well everyone's been  giving you and Ari a hard time about not catching the Phone Shark." Henry explains. "I figured I help you guys out."

"Excuse me." We all  looked at Charlotte who was sitting in a chair near a mechanical cart. "I'm the one who found the Phone Shark."

"It's true she did." I agree with a grin and my dad groaned loudly.

Bri's POV

"Ugh! Charlotte, Charlotte." Dad got up and walked closer to Charlotte with a sleeping Stella in his arms. "What am I going to do with you?"

"I think it's pretty obvious." Charlotte says.

"What's that?"

"Give me a job here."

"You guys need me." Charlotte continues and dad was unsure.

"First I want know how two found the Phone Shark." Dad says to Charlotte and me.

"Well we figured no guy with normal teeth could bite through a phone right?" Charlotte asks and I nodded in agreement.

Dad and Henry seemed smug about it. "Okay." Dad replied.

"So, we started calling every dentist in Swellview until I found one who told me he had a patient who asked for a whole mouthful of titanium teeth." I explained.

"We should've called some dentists." Dad snarls.

"Totally should've!" Henry agrees.

"Then I hacked into the dentists computer files, got the guys name and searched him online." Charlotte finished talking about the Phone Shark.

"Oh, we should've gone online!" Dad exclaims.

"What's wrong with us?" Henry asks.

"Oh, his last update said." I showed them my phone before reading. "Off to my brother's wedding in Swellview Park. Hope they serve phones for dessert. Lol."

"Then she called me and I picked up Ari." Henry finishes.

"She's good."

"She is." Henry agrees.

"Also, she could really help us out around here.l

"Us?" Dad asks, gesturing to Henry and my eyes shift away.

Crap, I totally forgot about that.

"Oh right." Henry sighs. "You fired me."

"Come on Ray hire me back." Henry pleads, and Ari rolls her her eyes.

"Henry you broke the oath." Ari tries to reasoned with Henry.

"All right, you're rehired." Dad said, and my mouth dropped at him.

"Charlotte clears her throat. "Cough, cough, cough."

"Oh right! What are you gonna do about Charlotte?" Ari asked Dad and Henry smiled with hope.

Dad groaned for a bit before speaking. "Well she knows you're Kid Danger, she knows who I am, and she know where the Man Cave is because you two brought her down here!"

"So what does that mean?" Charlotte asks Dad.

"That we either have to kill her, erase her brain or give you a job." Dad informs her and mine and Ari's eyes grew for a second.

"I vote." Charlotte says with slight fear.

"We can really erase her brain?" Henry asks and Ari slightly punched his arm.

"Guys!" Charlotte complains.

"Al right, she can have a no here." Dad gave in.

"Awesome!" Henry, Ari and I smile and Charlotte giggles.

"If! She can pass the pickle test?" Dad exclaimed making us jump.

Henry and Charlotte share a look at each other.

Bork is a friend of ours, was called out and screwed shut a pickle jar. 

"Thanks Bork. Now grunt and exit!" Dad orders.

"Charlotte you must prove you're clever enough to work for Captain Man and Girl Danger." Dad begins.

"I found the Phone Shark." Charlotte replies.

"Well anyone can do that." Dad mocks.

"Not you two." I fire back.

Dad pulls Charlotte in front of the pickle jar. "Now to prove your worthiness you must get that pickle out of that jar that Bork just power-screwed shut."

"How much time does she have?" Henry asks.

"Can't I just smash it?" She whispers to Ari who nods.

"Yeah."

"Exactly five min-"

Dad got cut odd by Charlotte sting the jar on the cart.

"Here's your pickle."  Charlotte hands dad the pickle.

Dad seemed sad as he looked at the pickle. "That was Bork's favorite jar."

"Wait is Charlotte hired?" Henry asks.

"Yeah, yeah, she's hired." Dad agrees, not paying attention.

"Yeah!" The four of us high five happily.
