Weather Reporter: Police and Emergency services are urging residents to stay off the roads and in their homes as the severe winter storm continues to get worse. Businesses, schools and many more will remain closed down until the storm is over. Till then stay safe in your homes.

Alex closed the news report and began walking towards the kitchen as he got the stove ready and began cooking a meal for himself as he looked outside the window and saw lightning flashing in the sky.

Soon he was done cooking and got the plate of food ready as he placed it on the table and sat down on the chair.

Alex tapped on the table and saw Lizzie making her way towards the table as Ambrose gave her a small bowl of chicken and the kitten began eating it.

Alex took the first bite of his meal and was in deep thoughts about something as he didn't take another bite of his meal and continued staring at the ground in silence.

He continued sitting in silence for a few minutes until Alex noticed Lizzie tapping on his hand as the kitten looked at him as she was worried about him. The kitten knew Alex way too well and she noticed for the last few days how silent he was and that he barely eats anything.

Alex looked at Lizzie and patted her head before he gave the bowl of chicken back to her as she began eating it while Ambrose began eating the food.

????: [Smiles] Pretty tasty meal you made there, Alex.

Alex saw his uncle William smiling at him as Ambrose continued eating his meal until he felt someone holding his hand as he saw who it was.

???: You better eat good Alex and get some rest too. You look tired.

Alex looked at his girlfriend Anna Jay who was smiling at him and continued holding his hand as William smiled at them.

Anna: [Smiles] You should shave that beard off.

William: [Smiles] Definitely you should, Alex.

Alex was gonna take another bite until he saw Anna and William were gone as he was alone and there was nobody there. He sighed to himself as Alex didn't felt like eating and got up from his seat, took the plate and placed it back on the kitchen.

He began making his way towards the living room and sat down on the couch as Alex took the remote and turned the television on as he tapped on the table and saw Lizzie making her way towards the couch.

Alex picked up the kitten and placed her on the couch as they began watching a movie.

Alex was staring at the movie until he felt someone holding his arm as Ambrose looked to the left and saw Anna who was staring at him until she said something to him.

Anna: You wanna talk about it? You can tell me anything. I'm always here for you.

Alex was silent as he looked back and saw Anna was gone as he stared at the wall and then he placed his hands on his face and began thinking about everything that has happened as he put his hands down and sighed to himself.

Alex continued staring at the ground until he fixed his hair and looked back at the television as he noticed Lizzie patting his hand andhe patted the kitten's head and both of them continued watching the movie.

Meanwhile there was a house as Lexi and Jennifer played a song while dancing and singing the lyrics of the song.

Lexi: Stand up, shut up, and fight me!

Jennifer: Stand up, shut up, and fight me!

Lexi: Shape up, square up, fight me, I'm breaking free.

Jennifer: I see your eyes, I know you're watching me.

Lexi: You're mad you can't control someone like me.

Jennifer: You get so weak when you let me be.

Lexi: You get smaller till you fade.

Jennifer: It's not my fault what you became.

Lexi: I'm something twisted, but you're insane, sane, sane.

Jennifer and Lexi screamed in happiness as they continued singing the song.

Lexi: Stand up, shut up, and fight me!

Jennifer: Stand up, shut up, and fight me!

Lexi: I rock, I rule, I rage!

Jennifer: About to flip the switch and detonate!

Lexi/Jennifer: Stand up, shut up, and fight me!

They continued singing the lyrics of the song until the song is over as both of them were smiling at each other and spoke to each other.

Jennifer: That song was amazing sis!

Lexi: Thanks sis. It took me a few days to think of the lyrics for this song but in the end, it was awesome!

Jennifer: I agree on that. Why didn't you try becoming a singer sis?

Lexi: I planned on it but I choose business instead.

Jennifer: But you can still try singing. My friend knows people in Panessa Studios that can elevate your music career.

Lexi: [Chuckles] I'll think about it sis.

Both of them smiled at each other as they sat down on the couch and continued talking to each other until Jennifer asked Lexi a question.

Jennifer: So sis. . . . . . Are you dating anyone?

Lexi: Yes, I'm happily dating the television.

Both of them began laughing as they continued speaking to each other.

Jennifer: [Laughs] Okay that was funny.

Lexi: Yeah. . . . But in all seriousness I'm just focusing on the business only.

Jennifer: Hey sis. I'm sure you'll find the right one for you.

Lexi smiled at her and nodded as Jennifer smiled at her. They were gonna continue the conversation until they heard the door bell which confused them and began making their way towards the door and opened it as they saw who it was.

Her name is Sabrina Carpenter, She is seventeen years old and is a student at Gotham High School and is Jennifer's best friend and she is also a singer.

Jennifer and Sabrina screamed in happiness and immediately hugged each other as Carpenter entered the house while Lexi closed the door.

Sabrina: [Smiles] Are you ready for movie night!?

Jennifer: [Smiles] Hell yeah!

Lexi: Sabrina. You should have stayed at your home. The storm was getting worse and the visibility is very low too.

Sabrina: [Smiles] Don't worry, I've planned to stay here till the storm is over.

Jennifer: Yeah sis. So are you ready for movie night?

Lexi: [Smiles] Yeah I'm excited.

They all smiled at each other and sat down on the couch as they got a movie ready and began watching it as they were enjoying the movie while eating some popcorn.

Meanwhile there was a abandoned apartment complex as there was a SWAT team moving through the floor. Anne along with Caleb, Benjamin and Daikon had their weapons ready and began moving through the floor slowly as the SWAT team was following them.

They received an anonymous tip from someone that some mutants were hiding in this abandoned complex and were using this complex to create some drugs to sell on the streets.

The team immediately kicked down the apartment door and saw the mutants as they all shouted at them to get down on the ground and the hostiles immediately surrendered and dropped on their knees.

Soon they began arresting and handcuffed the mutants as they all spoke to each other.

Benjamin: This situation is getting even worse as the months go by.

Anne: The worst part is they're not afraid of the police. They think Gotham is their territory and they want to do whatever they want.

Caleb: And no matter how many we arrest. Their leader attacks the prison and frees them.

As they were talking, Daikon noticed one mutant smiling at the team which made him annoy and immediately hit the hostile in the head with a baton as he was gonna attack him again until the others stopped him.

Benjamin: Daikon! No!

Anne: Daikon! What are you doing!?

Daikon: These monsters need to be killed. They don't deserve to live.

Caleb: The system decides who lives or dies. We have to follow the law.

Benjamin: What you did is understandable. Even I hate them but we have to follow the law.

Anne: That's right. We have no choice.

The group were silent and looked at each other as they continued thinking about everything that has happened. For eleven years crime in Gotham has risen and civilians were living in fear due to the rise in crime. The mutants who are a new gang and has been having instilling fear in the city for three years made a threat that they will takeover the city and rule it.

Despite everything that has happened. The team were determined to take down the mutants and restore order back in the city.

Caleb: We have to remain strong. We will win this fight.

Benjamin: That's right. We have to stay strong and hope it will all end soon.

Anne: Indeed. We can do this. We can take down the mutants once and for all.

Daikon: And after that, the city will no longer need to live in fear anymore.

Soon the team exited the apartment and got inside the truck as they began driving away and the team saw lightning flashing in the sky as the storm continued to get even more worse.
