Return of the Kid and the Daughter
-12 Hours Earlier-
"Henry! You're overreacting!" Bella exclaimed to her fiancé, who was packing his bags. "What are you doing?"
"I need a break," he told her and shoved past her to grab some clothes. "And I'm not overreacting. You should know what that means, considering you're nine months pregnant."
Bella let out a light laugh and folded her arms, "a break?"
"Not from you," Henry sighed. "From this. Having Blackout after the both of us, you being pregnant, and what happened between you and..."
"I totally understand Blackout and me being pregnant, but that other thing was just a minor mistake," Bella reasoned and took his arm, stopping him. "It wasn't Jasper's fault. He feels so bad, he hasn't left his room for a week. He thinks you hate him."
"He's correct, I do," Henry agreed and put the rest of his clothes in his bag, before zipping it up. "Why- why would he do that?"
"Emotions!" Bella shrugged and sat down on their bed, "it was in the moment and it just happened."
"Someone doesn't just kiss their best friend's fiancé unless they like them," Henry confessed and Bella rubbed her face, shaking her head. "It wasn't just 'a moment' he wanted to do that, he likes you!"
Bella gave him a look, "Henry, you need to calm down-"
"No, you're denying Jasper's feelings for you," Henry protested and sat down next to Bella. "He's liked you since he met you basically. He told me he did, but he backed off because I liked you."
"What?" Bella asked with disbelief, "why didn't he tell me?"
"Because I really liked you and he wanted me to be happy," Henry confessed and Bella sighed, feeling horrible for Jasper. "So, he hid his feelings very well. He was the one who suggested I take you on a date for Valentine's Day when we were kids."
"Really?" Bella asked and Henry nodded, which made her groan and lean back onto the bed. "See! This is why you can't be mad at Jasper, he hid his feelings for five years and let it all out with one kiss. He hid his feelings so we could be happy. He sacrificed his happiness so we could be happy! If that's not a best friend then I don't know what is."
Henry rubbed his head and stood up, picking up his bag.
"I'm still mad at him," Henry remarked. "But I also need a break, so I'm gonna go back to Swellview for a little."
Bella sat up with wide eyes, "seriously? Let me go-"
"No," Henry denied her. "I can't risk you getting hurt or the twins. If Blackout somehow finds me, it would be better for you to stay here with Charlotte and be safe."
"And Jasper-"
"Yeah, whatever," Henry quickly dismissed. "I need you to be safe, okay? Please don't follow me."
"Henry, if anything, I'll be safer there," Bella reasoned, standing up next to him. "Got my dad, my mom, and the new team. Seems safer there if anything."
"Bella, don't try to argue with me, you're staying," Henry said, before kissing her cheek and leaving the room.
Bella quickly followed him, "I'm a superhero now, Hart! You can't tell me what to do!"
"If you can, I can!" Henry argued.
"Hey, that's different!" Bella called back, but she stopped when Henry stood under the tube to leave. Bella wasn't allowed to use the tube, because of the pregnancy. "Henry, don't do this..."
"I'll see ya when I get back, I love you," Henry told her.
"Don't play the "I love you" card. You can't run away from your problems," Bella retorted.
"And here I am," Henry chuckled and the tube encased him. "Up the tube!"
"Henry!" Bella exclaimed but Henry was already gone up the tube. "You stupid idiot!"
Bella quickly went into their bedroom and pulled out her duffel bag, before stuffing it with clothes and other stuff she'll need.
Charlotte ran into the room with alarm, "where did Henry go?"
"Back to Swellview," Bella told her with a heavy breath.
"What?!" She exclaimed, "we need to get him-"
"No! I'm going," Bella stopped her and grabbed Charlotte's arm. "He's stressed about Blackout, the twins, and the thing with Jasper-"
"He's still on that?" Charlotte asked.
"Yes!" Bella expressed with stress and sat down, holding her belly. "Now I'm stressed!"
"Breathe," Charlotte told her, sitting next to her. "This isn't good for you or the babies. They're due any day now, can't have any of this."
Bella nodded, trying to take longer breaths as Charlotte rubbed her back.
"What if the babies come when he's gone?" Bella asked her in a soft voice, "he'll miss the birth of our children."
"Henry wouldn't," Charlotte told her. "I'll murder him if he does."
Bella chuckled and leaned her head against Charlotte's shoulder, "thanks, Char."
"Anything for you," she told her. "Now, thinking about it, you should go follow Henry. I'll try to get Jasper to leave his room."
"Henry won't like me going," Bella reasoned.
"And yet he still loves you," Charlotte remarked. "You don't listen to a word any of us say and we still love you. Because we wouldn't be the team we are today without you."
Bella smiled and sighed, waving her tears away. "I hate hormones!"
Charlotte chuckled and squeezed her a little, "now, go get a move on and yell at Henry."
"As I always do," Bella smiled and stood up with Charlotte. "Also, please don't tell Henry I told you where he went. Act like you don't know where he went."
"Was already planning on it," Charlotte remarked. "I'll send him occasional spam texts to stress him out."
Bella giggled before Charlotte gave her a soft smile and walked out of the room. Bella let out a long exhale and continued to pack her bag.
"I'm coming home."
——
-Present Time; SWAG-
Bella peered her head over the corner of the wall and saw the doors leading to the doors of the school her father and mother created for the kids. she walked out from behind the wall and let out an exhausted exhale, bending over.
"I knew walking was exhausting, but now it feels like I dropped my lung," Bella heaved out and turned around. "Did I drop it anywhere?"
She put her hands on my hips and she looked down at her pregnant belly, "you're a lot of work. How did my mom do this?"
She stumbled when she felt both babies kick and she groaned, "okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Bella regained energy and walked to the doors with hesitation, before putting her ear on the door and knocking.
"Hello?" she called and got no answer, but she tried again. "hello?"
She stepped back and made a sour look, "usually someone answers when you knock. this is just impolite."
It was quiet for a while and Bella sighed.
"I'm talking to a door now," she said and shifted her weight. "This is why you don't leave me alone."
"No one's in there."
Bella stumbled back with a yelp and turned with her hand on her chest to see a smaller blonde girl standing there.
"Don't scare a pregnant woman. you don't know when I'll pop," Bella chuckled, breathless, before getting a better look at the girl.
"Terra?"
Terra gave her a faint smile in return with a nod, "in the flesh."
"It's nice to see you again," Bella smiled.
"I would say the same if I could see you," Terra remarked. "How are the twins?"
"Who told you about my babies?" Bella asked her.
"Ray doesn't shut up about being a grandfather and how he's getting old," Terra sighed. "It's annoying. I'm so glad I can't see him cry, but i can sure hear it."
Bella chuckled as Terra grinned with amusement.
"Well, I'm gonna go," Terra said, before turning to leave, but Bella stopped her.
"Wait, can you show me where the Man's Nest is?" Bella asked Terra, who shook off her hand and blew a piece of her hair out of her face.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to ask why you're here."
"Well-"
"I don't care," Terra cut her off, before taking her hand and pulling her away to the Man's Nest.
"You have quite an attitude," Bella told her and Terra laughed.
"Tell me something I don't know, sugar queen."
——
~Man's Nest~
"Woah!" Bella smiled as Terra led her through the Man's Nest, "this is so much cooler than the Man Cave."
"Hey!" Terra yelled as she pulled Bella into the main area of the Man's Nest. Inside, Ray was hugging Henry like his life depended on it and the four kids and Mary were trying to get him off. "Someone else is here!"
"Hello!" Bella waved and Mary gasped at the sight of her daughter, letting go of Ray and Henry. "BELLA!"
Mary ran over and hugged her daughter, watching out for her baby bump.
"Oh my gosh," Henry sighed when he saw his fiancé standing.
"BELLA? MY DAUGHTER?!" Ray yelled, pushing Henry away and turned to see his daughter standing there. "COOKIE!"
He rushed over and hugged her, picking her up off the ground.
"Careful!" Bella yelped with a giggle, "I'm pregnant and could puke at any moment."
Henry put his hands in his pockets, shaking his head at Bella. He knew she wouldn't listen to him, what else would he expect?
"I've missed my little girl so much!" he beamed and squeezed her tighter, which made her yell.
"Hey! Not so tight!" Mary exclaimed, "she's pregnant!"
Ray let her daughter down and Bella moved away, smiling at her father.
"I've missed you too!" Bella laughed, "where's Violet?"
Everyone, besides Henry, began to laugh awkwardly and the couple was left confused.
"What?" Bella asked.
"Yeah, she's invisible," Ray chuckled.
"She's what?" Henry asked.
"We discovered that Violet has superpowers. At first, she had cute little bubble powers," Mika chuckled.
"Then, she shot fire out of her mouth every time she laughed," Bose laughed. "It was so cool."
"And now she can turn invisible," Miles added.
"We haven't seen her for two days," Chapa said and Bella made a face of shock, staring at her parents.
"And you haven't done anything?" Bella asked them.
"We tried throwing paint on her, but it backfired and now she's invisible," Mary reasoned. "We know she's around."
"Somewhere... hopefully," Ray said with a sheepish smile and Bella gave him a look.
Bella shook her head, unable to comprehend what was happening and Henry approached her.
"You don't listen to a word I say, do you?" He asked her and Bella chuckled, patting his chest.
"I thought that was established, sweetheart?" She winked and he rolled his eyes, shaking his head.
"I'm so glad you two are here," Ray smiled, putting his arms around them. "My favorite people in the world are here!"
"Ahem!" Mary cleared her throat.
"Quiet! I'm talking to Henry and Bella," he told his wife, who moved away to sit on the couch with the danger force kids.
"I've been so lonely," Ray sighed and this time the kids cleared their throat.
"Quiet!" he scolded them, before looking at the two. "So, what are you two doing back in Swellview?"
"I can answer that-"
"Hey, Airy, can you shut up?" Henry asked Bella, who raised an eyebrow at him. "My dad is graduating from Juilliard.com."
Bella snickered and Henry elbowed her side.
"No way," Ray grinned. "You're dad's a moron. He couldn't graduate from online Harberd."
Henry laughed, "he's so dumb! Yeah, no, Bella and I are actually here to see you!"
Ray smiled, "aw! Little birdies flew right back to the nest."
"Sort of," Bella chuckled before Ray got giddy and hugged the two.
"Come here!" Ray laughed, ignoring their protests.
"Hey! Still pregnant here!" Bella called.
"No! No!" Henry protested and looked at the kids, "so, how's my old job? You guys go on any sick missions?"
"Oh, tons of missions!" Chapa smiled.
"So many!" Mika said as Bella was trying to get Ray off her.
"Mom!" Bella called and Mary walked over to help her Ray off.
"Cool! Like what, anything dangerous?" Henry asked the kids.
"We once caught a guy that was stealing books from the library!" Mika said and Miles laughed.
Terra laughed with sarcasm, "I loved it! Cause I can't read!"
"Okay! But I was kind of hoping for some sick fights though," Henry remarked.
"This man has a death grip," Mary grunted, trying to pull her husband off Henry and Bella.
"Oh! We once battled every bad guy in Swellview at the same time!" Mile exclaimed.
"Noice! What happened?!" Bella smiled.
"Mika let them out of prison," Terra pointed, "and then I gave Frankini a wedgie! It was sick!"
"Ah, kind of spent my whole childhood locking those guys up so I can't wait to hear how you all caught them," Henry explained, hoping the kids caught the villains.
"We didn't!" Miles announced and Terra clapped.
"Celebration!" Terra cheered, "for failing!"
"Sick twist! They're all still out there," Bose mentioned.
"I love their enthusiasm! It gets me so excited," Bella chuckled.
"I've got to imagine they're all still out there committing crimes! Right now!" Chapa exclaimed.
"More than likely," Bose nodded as the other kids began to bicker and chatter about their exciting fail.
"Finally!" Mary yelled as she got Ray off the two and groaned, "that was harder than giving birth!"
"Hey, that ends your visit with Henry and Bella, they're mine now," Ray told the kids.
"I enjoyed our time together," Bose smiled.
"I didn't," Terra said, which got an elbow nudge from Mika.
"Hey, so, uh, how's Dystopia?" Ray asked Henry and Bella, "do you need me to come help you? Because I will burn this whole thing to the ground and leave right now!"
The kids cleared their throats and Mary sent a glare at him.
"Excuse me?" Mary asked and Ray covered her mouth, waving the kids off.
"Keep it down!" he yelled and looked at the two, lowering his hand off Mary's mouth. "God, they're always here!"
"I live here," Mary told him, "and you're sleeping on the couch tonight."
"Okay, sweetheart," he shrugged, not paying attention to her and Mary rolled his eyes as Bella chuckled.
"You're no longer the star of the show, huh?" Bella asked her mom.
She sighed with a head shake, "I'm now the concession stand in the hall that no one cares about."
Suddenly, the emergency alarm blasted and Mika rushed over to check it out.
"Emergency call!" Mika yelled as Chapa and Terra followed her lead.
Ray beamed, "this is perfect! We can go on a mission! My first mission with my daughter, how fun! Ah, let's pop some gum and have some fun!"
Ray playfully hit Bella and Henry, who were hesitant and moved away with a laugh.
"Ah, you know, I'm all about that fun, big dog," Henry chuckled. "But, uh, everyone thinks Kid Danger is kind of-
"Hot."
"Dead."
"Both of those are true," Bella mentioned.
"Exactly," Henry agreed. "And Bella isn't allowed to go on missions because she's due any day now."
"Don't tell me what to do," Bella told Henry, hitting his arm. "I'm fine."
"You were out of breath the first ten steps of walking here," Terra remarked to Bella.
"That's normal," Bella scoffed. "Being pregnant has nothing to do with my stamina."
"What's the emergency?" Chapa asked Mika.
"It looks like there's a brawl at the nail salon," Mika explained.
"Oh, we could fight crime and get our nails done," Ray beamed. "Just like old times!"
"You got your nails done?" Bella asked, "and didn't invite me?! The audacity!"
Henry shook his head, moving back as Ray tried to encourage him. "Come on. I'll let you pick my color!"
"You know, I'd love to pick your color, man, but Airy and I have been dropping so many fools in Dystopia we were thinking we could, you know, kick it here for a while," Henry explained.
"That doesn't mean we can't go get our nails done," Bella shrugged.
"You can't even see your toes," Henry protested.
"So? Other people can," Bella remarked and Henry rolled his eyes, annoyed with his fiancé.
"Yeah, yeah, cool, cool, just kick it here!" Ray agreed, "I was thinking the same thing!"
Bella looked at Mary, who shrugged.
"Alright guys, handle this one yourselves," Ray told the guys, who cheered.
"Yay!" Mika giggled.
"Can I pee first?" Bose asked.
"No," Terra said.
"Why don't you just pee on the way?" Ray suggested and Terra made a face of disgust.
"Remember what happened last time he did that?!" Terra called as Ray shoved the kids toward the elevator.
"Here you go!" Ray gave Bose a bottle, "all right everybody! don't end anybody!"
"Be careful!" Mary told the kids as they chewed their gum, "stay safe!"
"and, uh, try not to let anybody end you, okay?!" Ray added as Henry got a text from Charlotte "Down the tube!"
Ray hit the button and the kids got shot down the tube together.
Ray sighed, turning to the other three.
"That nail salon is going up into flames."
Mary hit his head, "Ray!"
Ray hit Henry's chest with excitement, "come on! I'll give you two a tour of the Man's Nest!"
Ray rushed out the door with Henry and Bella staying behind and Mary walked away.
"Right behind you, dad!" Bella called.
"Be right there!" Henry said and Bella turned to her fiancé.
"Charlotte, isn't it?" She smirked and Henry nodded, checking his phone.
"Yeah," he said and deleted the messages. "But it doesn't matter, but what does matter is you being here. You need to go home."
"Excuse me!" She exclaimed, "we're a team and teams stick together! And I don't want to give birth without my fiancé being there. I'm here and I'm not leaving."
Henry sighed and rolled his eyes, "you're so stubborn."
"And that's why you love me," Bella remarked. "And I'm seeing my family again after a while. Missing my sisters, but it's better than nothing."
"But if Ray makes us go on any missions, you're staying here," Henry ordered.
"No," she protested.
"Bella!" He exclaimed before the door opened and Ray ran out with excitement.
"Kids, don't you want to see my ax-throwing room?!"
"Mm?" The couple said.
"Kids, don't you want to see my ax-throwing room?!" Ray repeated.
"Do you even have to axe?" Henry grinned and Bella rolled her eyes.
"And I'm walking away!" She said as the guys cheered and ran off together.
——
~The Next Day~
Bella and Mary walked into the Man's Nest, laughing and enjoying their time together. They just spent most of the day out together and Bella really missed having her mom around.
The girls stopped they're laughing when they saw Ray and Henry doing the tango together to Prance Prance Revolution. They stood there watching for a moment and Bella scratched her head.
"I'm starting to question who's in what relationship here," Bella chuckled and Mary smiled in amusement.
"Hello, ladies!" Henry greeted with a smile at Bella.
"Don't mind us! Just dancing," Ray smiled.
"Where are the kids?" Mary asked, "and has anyone seen Violet?"
"Momma!"
Mary yelped when Violet appeared in front of her with a tiny wave.
"Violet!" Bella gasped and picked up her little sister, "you've grown so much."
"Bea!" Violet giggled, hugging her sister.
"She talks!" Bella beamed, "can't pronounce her L's but it's cute."
"And she disappears," Mary exhaled.
"You found Violet!" Ray smiled, "good job!"
"Thanks, honey," Mary said with no amusement and rolled her eyes.
The tube alarm blared and the Danger Force kids got shot down the tube. Bella's eyes grew when she saw them covered in paint and their hair was a mess.
"Oh my gosh," Mary gasped as she went up to check on them.
"How'd it go?" Ray asked the kids.
"It went great!" Chapa groaned.
"Are you guys okay?" Mary asked, checking Terra's face for any scratches.
"We broke up the fight!" Mika called as Bella approached them with Violet.
"With our faces," Miles added on as he sat down on the steps.
"Wasn't all bad, got my nails done!" Bose mentioned sitting down with the others, "even had time to squeeze in a pedi."
Bella looked down at Bose's toes and smiled, "nice!"
"Great!"
"Nice!"
Ray and Henry continued to dance, only looking over occasionally.
"But no one got hurt?" Mary asked and Mika nodded.
"We're okay," Mika told her. "Just sore."
"That call wrecked me. I'm gonna go throw up and lay down," Chapa said, before collapsing.
"I'll join you," Terra agreed and fell next to her.
"Dry my toes," Bose told them and Terra slapped his ankle.
"Do it yourself," Terra groaned.
"No, no, no, no! Another call came in while you were out," Ray objected to the kids, who groaned. "A bunch of fire bees is attacking a honey store."
The kids complained about the calls and Mary and Bella sent a glare toward Ray.
"Yeah, caller said some murder bears were headed up there too," Ray added on. "So, hustle up!"
"Ray, that's a little dangerous," Mary protested. "They're exhausted!"
"Yeah, we just got ourselves stained," Mika agreed. "Can't you or Mary settle a honey fight between fire bees and murder bears?"
"Gladly," Mary said and looked toward Ray, "Ray?"
"Well, what do you say, partner?" Ray asked Henry, ignoring his wife.
"Hard pass my guy, we've got a big lift coming up," Henry reasoned moving away from Ray to do the lift.
"Sorry kids, buzz off! Mary will help you!" Ray told the kids, getting ready for the lift with Henry.
Mary shook her head, before taking out her gum and headed toward the tube with a bunch of groaning and complaining kids.
"Let's go!" Mary sighed, popping the gum in her mouth. She blew a bubble and it popped turning her into Speedstress.
Bella was taken back by her mom and whistled.
"Dang, mom," Bella said. "My mom looks good."
Mary gave her daughter a smile, before kissing Violet's head and walking over to the kids.
The tango music intensified and Ray ran into Henry's arm. Henry lifted Ray into the air and Bella watched in shock with her mouth falling agape.
"Okay, now that the lift is over, you sure you guys don't want to come help us?" Mika asked the boys.
"You have Mary! And you're superheroes, quit your bellyaching!" Ray scolded.
"It's what you get paid for!" Henry called.
"You got paid!?" The kids asked with shock.
"Down the tube!" Ray quickly said and the tube encased the kids and Mary, before shooting them down.
"How long are you gonna stay up there?" Henry groaned.
"Long as I can kid, long as I can," Ray smiled.
"So you can lift him but not me?" Bella asked her fiancé.
"He's not carrying two people inside him!" Henry groaned. "Get him down!"
"Arabella, don't you dare!" Ray told his daughter.
"You're not the boss of me anymore," Bella scoffed before she used her chaos manipulation on her dad. Ray yelped as he was lifted in the air and Henry sighed with relief, holding his arms.
"Thanks, princess," Henry smiled and Bella grinned.
"You're welcome," she said. "also, here's for being stupid."
"What?" Henry asked before Bella dropped Ray and he landed right on Henry. The boys groaned in pain and Bella laughed, folding her arms.
"I love my power," Bella grinned, before walking off.
"Bella!" The boys groaned but she was already gone.
——
-A few days later-
Bella and Mary walked into the main area of the Man's Nest together to see Ray and Henry eating Nacho Ball.
"Nacho Ball!" Bella gasped, rushing over and shoving Henry away.
"Bella!" Henry complained and Bella looked at him with confusion.
"Yes?"
Henry rolled his eyes and sat up, sitting next to her.
"Where are the kids?" Mary asked, walking over to them and giving Ray, Violet.
Right then, the Danger Force kids arrived back at the Man's Nest and angrily marched over to the adults.
"Hey!" Mika snapped.
"What! WHAT?! I don't have grey hairs here!" Ray panicked.
"You have three," Bella pointed to her father's head and Ray gasped, holding his hair.
"We all have something to say to you!" Mika continued in her stern voice.
"Yeah!" The other kids agreed.
"Terra, Chapa, one of you tell him," Mika offered, stepping back and pushing the two forward.
"We've been taking all the calls for, like, three or four days now!" Chapa began.
"Yeah!" The others nodded.
"We think you guys should take the next call!" Terra exclaimed.
"Yeah!" The other agreed.
"We also think we should be able to vaporize one person a year for no reason at all!" Chapa screamed and Terra cheered.
"Yeah!"
"No, no, no!" Mika, Miles, and Bose objected.
"Sure, we'll take the next call," Ray agreed and the kids were satisfied. "It's been a hot minute. My fists are getting thirsty and crime is a tall glass of water."
"I did not miss those quips," Bella sighed, shaking her head.
"Please don't punch my glass-"
"YEAH!" Ray yelled, punching Henry's cup, before standing up and giving Violet back to Mary. "Next call that comes in is going home in a body bag."
"Calm down," Mary told her husband. "We don't kill."
"Not yet," Ray grinned and Bella raised her eyebrow at him.
"Easy bro, who even knows when the next call is gonna come in?" Henry asked him and right then the emergency call went off.
"Our timing is always so predictable," Bella chuckled to herself.
"Oh," Terra laughed, "would you look at that. An emergency call."
"How convenient," Ray smiled at Henry and Bella.
"Exactly, someone's trying to rob that corner store. How Convenient," Mika informed everyone, checking the tablets.
"Oh, looks like the three of us are going to pound town, kids," Ray chuckled.
"Bella's not leaving, she can barely walk," Mary mentioned.
"I'd usually argue, but she's right," Bella groaned and sat down, holding her stomach. "I'm in pain."
"Pound town is nice this time of year, but, uh, I need to make sure Bella is okay," Henry told Ray, who had popped a gumball into his mouth. "And finish my nacho ball."
Henry looked over to see Bose had already eaten the nacho ball. Bose pointed to Chapa.
"Chapa ate it," he blamed.
"Come on, man, Mary can take care of Bella, she'll be fine," Ray assured Henry. "So, pop one of those Dystopian gumballs, I wanna see that sweat stew."
"I didn't bring any," Henry lied, feeling his pockets.
"Yes, you did," Terra quickly replied and walked up to Henry, pulling out his gum." Never lie around a blind girl, who can control the earth."
"Never," the kids, Ray, and Mary all said together.
"Guess I did bring some," Henry nervous chucked, taking the gum from her. "Thanks... buddy."
Terra grinned at him and moved away.
"Come on, it's right down the street, we'll be back in like five minutes," Ray encouraged Henry.
"Five minutes?" Henry asked.
"Yeah, have I ever lied to you?" Ray asked him.
"You once told me you were born in 1998," Henry remarked.
"I was. I was!" Ray exclaimed and Bella and Mary gave him a look.
"Then I guess I was adopted by a nine-year-old," Bella mentioned. "How strange is that."
"I don't need the sass," Ray told his daughter.
"Then don't lie," Bella shrugged.
Henry cleared his throat, pushing the tension away. "All right, let's blow and go."
Ray and Henry blew bubbles until they popped turning them into Captain Man and Henry's Dystopian Uniform.
Ray's uniform looked slightly different, had a few alters, but still similar to his previous uniform. Henry had on his usual uniform from Dystopia, but Ray noticed something.
"Alright," Ray smiled and spotted a mistake. "Oh, dude, where's your mask?"
"Oh, we actually don't wear masks in Dystopia," Henry remarked.
"I suggested we should, but no one listens to me," Bella pointed out.
"What?" Ray asked.
"Yeah, I just think we're beyond that point," Henry scoffed. "Bella's delusional right now."
"Excuse me?" Bella gasped, "masks are important!"
The kids began to protest and agree with Bella.
"See, even the kids know what I'm talking about," Bella said. "I'm smart... sometimes."
"Well, you're in Swellview now so you're putting something on your face," Ray told Henry and pulled out a pair of sunglasses.
"No, no, no, come on," Henry tried to protest, but Ray was already forcing him to wear the sunglasses. The two argued and fought for a few moments before Ray shoved them into his face and Henry complied to it.
The Danger Force kids rushed Henry and Ray to the tube, saying their goodbyes.
Ray hit his belt buckle and the tube encased the two boys.
"You want to call it?" Ray asked Henry.
"Up the tube!" Henry called and the system beeped as the kids, Ray, and Mary all shook their heads with embarrassment.
"What?" Bella asked with confusion.
"It's down the tube now," Mary told her daughter, who nodded.
"We go down the tube down," Ray grinned at Henry, who awkwardly stood there for a moment before he spoke again.
"Down the tube!" Henry called and the two got shot down the tube.
"Okay, I'm eating Captain Man's nacho ball!" Miles mentioned before he turned and saw Bose had eaten it.
"Terra ate it," Bose blamed and said girl whacked his head.
——
The Danger Force kids went to Miles and Mika's house for the night while Mary and Bella stayed at the Man Nest's. Violet and Schwoz were asleep, so it was just the two of them.
"Henry and Ray have been gone a long time," Mary mentioned with worry. "I hope they're okay."
"Me too," Bella muttered, tapping her nails on the table. "They would've called if they were in trouble."
"Yeah, yeah," Mary agreed. "Can I ask... why did you and Henry come back to Swellview? Like no call, no warning or anything."
Bella shifted nervously and let out a exhale, "it's a lot honestly..."
Mary took her daughter's hands, stopping them from tapping. "Bella, what's going on in Dystopia?"
Bella let out shaky breathe, "Dystopia is a scary place, it's messed up. Henry and I got into some trouble and there's this bounty hunter after us named Blackout. He literally eats people's souls and he's after mine, Henry's, and our babies."
Mary's eyes grew and she squeezed her hands, "why didn't you say anything?"
"I wanted to come here to forget it all and just be with my family," Bella admitted. "Henry was the same way, it was stressing him out and now that I think about it, it's stressing me out a lot too."
"Calm down, sweetheart," Mary told Bella. "Whoever this Blackout person is, he isn't gone hurt you or Henry or your babies. We won't let that happen."
Bella nodded, still fearing for her life and the ones she loved the most.
"If I put anyone here in any sort of danger, I'm so sorry," Bella apologized.
"Don't apologize," Mary told her. "It's our job, remember?"
Suddenly, the Danger Force kids all appeared in the Man's Nest in their uniforms.
"Ray and Henry are in danger!" Terra yelled, getting their attention and the two women stood up with alarm.
"What?!" They yelled and the kids ran over, grabbing them.
"We gotta go!" Mika yelled, "get dressed and let's go!"
Mary and Bella both shared a look, before they took out their gum containers and popped a gumball into their mouths. They stepped away from the kids and blew a bubble until it popped and transformed them into Speedstress and Bella's Dystopian Uniform.
"Dang!" The Danger Force kids all said together.
"Hot," Terra grinned and Mary and Bella looked at each other, nodding at one another.
"Even pregnant you can still rock a crop top and leather pants," Mary told her daughter.
"I feel like I'm being compressed by a garbage truck," Bella groaned, adjusting her top.
"Let's go," Miles rushed and everyone grabbed him before he teleported away to the store.
——
-How Convenient-
Inside the store, How Convenient, Henry was tied to the wall as a figure in a black cloak and helmet named Blackout was about to attack him. Captain Man got punched through the wall, leaving him laying on the ground with rumble on his body.
"Look, I'm the one you want, okay? Eat my soul, do whatever you want to the body, just leave my fiancé and future kids alone, and don't hurt my friend!"
Right before Blackout could attack Henry, the Danger Force kids, Bella, and Speedstress all appeared and landed on top of him. Blackout fell down. All seven of them groaned as they landed and slowly got up and complained about the awful trip.
"Why did I do that?!" Bella groaned, holding her belly. "I might puke, hold on."
"How did you miss the floor, AWOL?" Volt scolded AWOL.
"You need to work on your landing," Blind Quake snarled at him.
(Blind Quake is Terra)
"At least we're here, we could've been in another country!" AWOL argued back to them as ShoutOut, Bella, and Speedstress all went up to get Henry. "Ungratefuls!"
"Alright," Brainstorm said, breaking them up and helping untie Henry.
"Are you okay?" Bella asked Henry, checking him for any injuries.
"I'm okay," Henry answered. "Why are you here?"
"To help, duh," Bella told him.
"You could get hurt or hurt the babies," Henry remarked.
"I'm fine and the babies are fine, now shut up and let me help you," Bella told him and Henry rolled his eyes.
"Why are the lights out?" Volt asked, noticing the darkness.
"It's Blackout," Henry said and Bella froze at his name. "He's a bounty hunter from Dys-
"I already stopped listening," Volt waved him off, looking for a way to turn the lights on.
Captain Man popped in from the side with a piece of the wall tied to him.
"Honey!" Speedstress gasped and rushed over to him.
"Nice to see you, sweetheart," Captain Man smiled at his wife.
Volt found the electric box and used her electricity to turn the lights back on.
Blackout found his way to his feet and Captain Man approached him like the idiot he is. Blackout turned to Captain Man and Speedstress shook her head at this.
"I wasn't done with my quip," Captain Man said. "I said, knock-knock-"
Blackout hit him with his weapon and Captain Man flew back, landing on the floor. The kids and Bella got Henry free from his restraints and he smiled.
"Thanks, I owe you one, bye!" Henry waved and grabbed Bella, pulling her to the door.
Bella stopped him from moving and the kids and Speedstress blocked him from leaving.
"Hey! Hey!"
"Scary guy is that way!" ShoutOut called and Bella ripped her arm from Henry's.
"We're staying," Bella told Henry.
"Looks like Captain Man's taking care of him," Henry grinned, gesturing to Blackout repeatedly hitting him with his weapon.
"Wait, wait!" Captain Man called, "after I say knock knock, you say, who's there?, and I say my fist and before you say my fist, who? that's when I say-"
Blackout hit him again and Captain Man yelled, making Speedstress jump back with worry.
"Alright, I'll see you guys later, tell Schwoz he can keep my dirty laundry," Henry said, before walking away, but Bella pulled him back and slapped his face as the kids protested.
"Bella!" Henry cried, "what the heck?!"
"We are staying and helping!" Bella exclaimed, "stop running from your problems and face them!"
"Bella-"
"I thought you were a superhero, not a chicken," Bella remarked and Henry sighed.
"Stay here and help us fight this guy," ShoutOut told Henry and Bella.
"Yeah, Captain Man says you're the best superhero he's ever seen," AWOL told Henry.
"That does not sound like him," Henry objected.
"He wouldn't say that," Bella added.
"He also said Bella has a beautiful singing voice," Brainstorm mentioned and Bella chuckled, brushing her hair back.
"That's true," she sang but got cut off by hearing her dad's yell as Blackout hit him.
"Captain Man says that we're garbage and the five of us will never measure up to one of you," Blind Quake told them and Bella made a face.
"That's rude," she said. "I'm obviously better than Henry."
Henry elbowed her and she grinned.
"You guys are amazing, don't listen to him," Speedstress told the kids.
"Then why don't Henry and Bella stay here and we can show them," ShoutOut said.
"Yeah, let's take this guy down together," AWOL smiled and everyone cringed at his cheesy line.
"Was that cheesy? That felt very cheesy," AWOL said and everyone agreed.
"Yeah."
"Just a little bit."
"I hate cheese," Blind Quake said.
"No," ShoutOut said and changed her mind. "Just a little bit."
"Why won't you die?" Blackout asked out of breath to Captain Man
"You ready?" AWOL asked Henry.
"Let's ride this fool," Henry smiled.
"Speedstress make him dizzy!" Bella called and Speedstress used her super-speed to run around Blackout making him dizzy and stumble around. AWOL teleported to him and kicked his weapon to the side. Volt let out a battle cry and rolled in and did a cartwheel as Henry ran in and punched Blackouts face. Volt used her electricity to shock him and Henry hit his face once again before ShoutOut stepped in.
"Move!"
ShoutOut used her Sonic Scream to knock him down and Bella ran in using her chaos manipulation to lift him into the air and spin him in a circle.
"Take over Brainstorm," Bella said and Brainstorm used his telekinesis to keep him in the air. Bella used her vines to tie Blackout up and Brainstorm threw him towards Henry, who used his forcefield and Blackout fell to the ground.
Everyone cheered at their win and Bella and Speedstress hi-fived. BlindQuake and Volt fist-bumped and Henry and Brainstorm hi-fived
"That felt good!" Bella chuckled and looked at Henry, "see, I'm fine."
"You're always fine," Henry grinned and gave her a side hug.
Speedstress ran over and took the restraints off Captain Man. He stood up with Speedstress's help and approached Blackout.
"Hey, Blackout, what do you get when you cross a duck and Shih Tzu?" Captain Man asked and Speedstress rolled her eyes.
"Oh my gosh..."
"Blackout?" Captain Man repeated when he didn't get a response and just kicked him. "Blackout!"
He kicked Blackout again and Speedstress stopped him.
"Let the kids have this," she said and Captain Man gave in.
"Okay, that's your one for the year," Captain Man told the kids before he ran over and took the weapon.

-Man's Nest-
The next day Henry and Bella were gonna head back to Dystopia. Bella enjoyed being back at Swellview and seeing her family, well most of them, Eden isn't here and Violet keeps disappearing.
Bella is worried that she hasn't given birth yet, she knows it's any second now that the babies will come.
Bella walked into the man area and saw Schwoz walking away.
"Bye Schwoz!" Bella smiled and hugged him.
"Bye, Bella! Enjoy your present that's alive!" He smiled as he pulled away and walked into the back.
"My what?!" Bella called back, but he was gone and she turned to Henry, who was smiling.
"What present?" She asked as she went up to him and Henry shrugged.
"I'm just as clueless as you are," he chuckled and Bella laughed, checking herself. "Hey... I wanted to apologize."
"For what?" Bella asked him.
"For snapping at you and for being so overprotective I guess," Henry told her. "Just with Blackout and your babies it's just a lot and I don't need you getting hurt or our babies."
"I get it, it's just after all this time, I can handle myself and our babies, I mean I spent nine months like this fighting dangerous stuff in Dystopia and didn't get hurt once," Bella remarked. "After I have the twins, I'm gonna be better than ever."
"You're the strongest woman I know," Henry told her, taking her hands. "Our twins will have the most amazing mother ever."
"And the most amazing father," Bella added before the couple shared a sweet kiss. "Oh. And I expect you to talk to Jasper.
"You had to ruin the moment," Henry groaned, moving away from her.
"I'm serious," Bella told him. "Talk to him. He's your best friend, you can't let everything go cause of one silly little kiss."
Henry thought for a second before groaning again.
"Fine!"
Bella smiled with satisfaction and kissed his cheek.
"Thanks, baby!"
Henry chuckled with a blush as she kissed him.
"Whatever..."
Ray and Mary walked in with Violet in Mary's arms and the couple turned to them.
"Violet," Bella gasped at her sister and took her in her arms.
"Bea!" Violet giggled happily.
"Don't forget your nacho ball," Ray told the two, handing them a bag.
"Whoever sits next to us on the bus is going to hate us," Henry chuckled.
"No one likes sitting next to a pregnant woman," Bella added.
"Because of the farts and puking?" Ray asked and Bella nodded.
"Yeah, and Henry can't do dairy," Bella added.
"Right," Mary said.
It got a little quiet between the four and Mary gave them a smile, before walking away with Violet. Ray, Bella, and Henry stood there not knowing what to say next.
The last time the three of them were together was at Kid Danger's funeral and it was very difficult. Bella had to say goodbye to her father, her childhood, the person who gave her a home. All the memories she made were right here in Swellview and she remembers every single one she had, whether it was good or bad, she remembers them. She cherishes those moments and will never forget them.
Not a day goes by that she doesn't think about home and how much she misses it.
"You know, you don't have to go back to Dystopia." Ray began to them.
"We do," Bella sighed.
"Running to Swellview just put you guys in danger," Henry added.
"But they took care of it, right?" Ray reasoned, gesturing to the Danger Force kids and Bella looked back at them.
The group of kids was really something, they may be young and only kids, but they know how to step up to the challenge. Swellview is in good hands.
"They sure did," Bella smiled at them.
"Tough group of kids you got there," Henry remarked.
"Yeah," Ray nodded. "Always surprises me how much grit and determination each one of them has. Oh my god, they are baby talking to Violet and puppies."
The three looked to see the kids playing and talking to the puppies Henry and Bella got them along with Violet was with them. Mary waved at them, laughing and smiling as she held Violet and puppy.
"This was so worth it!" Miles smiled, petting his puppy.
"Later Dangers and Mary and Violet!" Henry called and the kids turned to Henry and Bella with their puppies.
"Bye Bye Henry and Bella!" Mika said in a high voice, making her puppy wave.
All of them waved with their puppies, speaking in high voices. Terra was smiling for once, which not a lot of people see, so this made Bella smile more. Terra is a tough cookie to make smile, so knowing something she did made her happy made Bella feel accomplished.
"Bye-bye!" Mary smiled and Violet waved.
"Bye Bea and Heny!" Violet giggled.
"Wanna hug it out?" Henry asked Ray.
"Not me, I'll pop," Bella backed away.
"Nah," Ray denied and Henry stood there looking away.
"Maybe just one," Ray stopped and hugged Henry, who hugged back.
Bella smiled at the duo sweetly.
They pulled away and Ray turned to his daughter.
"Come here," Bella chuckled and the father-daughter duo shared a side hug, not crushing the babies. "I love you, Cookie."
"I love you too, Dad," Bella sighed, smiling at her nickname she hasn't heard for such a long time.
They pulled away and Bella was very close to crying but kept it together.
Henry's phone beeped, meaning their Guber was here.
"That's our Guber," Bella said and pulled away from their hug.
"Take care," Ray told the kids, blinking away his tears, "get that Guber!"
Bella and Henry chuckled as they began to head toward the door. They cant take the tube because of Bella.
Henry went to take out his phone but was bitten by the present Schwoz put in his pocket.
"AH!"
Henry pulled his hand out and a turtle was on his finger, which made Bella laugh.
"Wait!" Bella realized, "do I have one!?"
Bella began to check her clothes for a turtle as Schwoz popped in from behind the back door.
"Hehe! Gotcha!" Schwoz laughed and the couple looked at Schwoz with confusion as the door closed on him.
Bella shook her head at this and the couple walked out the door of the Man's Nest.
Bella knows she'll be back, this isn't the end. The story isn't over just yet.
