Henry hotline x reader headcanons (but this time there’s a WHOLE BUNCH)
So I feel like the last Henry headcanons have been too short, I want to feed y’all (and myself) a three course meal, so, I’m just gonna be putting anything about Henry hotline I can think of here and hope for the best!! Enjoy my cringe slop
☎️- Alright, first off, he LOVES giving you any sort of affection, and will constantly hold your hand whenever he’s with you. When sitting next to each other, he’ll put his arm behind you on your chair. Any sort of touch or affection he can get.
☎️- Will tease you sometimes, but never actually be mean to you, he’ll just poke some fun at you, like if your short he’ll say “How’s the weather down there” or something.
☎️- Speaking of being short, if you were, he’d lean on you with his arm, like putting it on your head or shoulder. Unless you don’t want him too, though. Otherwise your permanently his wall to lean on.
☎️- SHOWERS you in gifts, I under exaggerated how much he gives you gifts in my first post. Anywhere he goes, he’s getting you a gift. It’s honestly insane just how much stuff you have from this guy, and most of it is pretty fancy.
☎️- He’s definitely rich as fuck. No doubt. If you want something, your getting it. A necklace? It’s already on your neck. A new phone? Of course, just don’t call him too often with it. Even if you feel bad about spending so much of his money, he’ll just reassure you that he’s got plenty. More than plenty, actually.
☎️- He’d get jealous often, not like super annoyingly often where if you talk to someone other than him he’d be mad, he’ll just get a little jealous often when your talking to Frankie or deputy duck-actually, HUGE emphasis on deputy duck. He hates that bitch, if he sees you talking to him he’s immediately coming up and joining the conversation, while giving deputy duck a VERY obvious glare.
☎️- Cuddles you all the time. He loves having your head on his chest while you two watch some corny movie together, or just having you in his arms. He never wants to let go once he’s got you cuddled up in a bunch of warm blankets together.
☎️- Brags about you 24/7, will not shut the fuck up about you when your not around, he’s practically driving Frankie insane.
☎️- Never ever in a million years will he ever want kids, but, he’ll happily marry you without a second thought! Just. . No kids. His headaches are already terrible enough, he doesn’t need anymore screaming kids around him, he’s got enough of them to deal with at the park. And they CONSTANTLY call him!
☎️- Loves to take you out on fancy dates, if you couldn’t tell already, he absolutely loves spoiling you.
☎️- Someone’s making you uncomfortable? He is absolutely livid. He’s immediately coming over and putting an arm around your waist before they can try anything else, and gives them the most passive aggressive smile you’ve seen from him, and you’ve seen those smiles before from his bad temper.
☎️- Speaking of his temper, sometimes he’ll snap at you thinking your someone working on his show or something, but as soon as he realizes it’s you, he apologizes profusely. He feels so bad about it, he didn’t mean to upset you, he’d never want to.
☎️- He’s both a cat and a dog person, he just can’t really choose. Cats are nice, calm and cuddly, but he also loves the energy from dogs and playing with them. If you want to get a cat or a dog, he’s all for it, he doesn’t care which one you want either. If your happy, he’s happy.
☎️- He can start arguments pretty easily with his constant headache, but each time he feels really bad about it, muttering apologies and finding a really nice gift to make you feel better. He’s usually a really good with words and an absolute flirt, but after an argument, he can’t even say a single sentence correctly.
☎️- Speaking of flirting, he does it constantly. Flirts, loving teases, the whole nine yards. His ultimate goal is to make you blush like a tomato. Of course, if your mad or being serious he won’t, but otherwise, he’s cooking tomatoes.
I was in a online class Making This and the teacher randomly called my name and I panicked and scared my cat, hope you guys I was giggling and kicking my feet making this hes LITERALLY my husband Im literally Henry hotlines number 1 fan (btw, if anyone’s been looking for some Henry hotline bots on character ai, I can give y’all my account name so y’all can check out mine, there’s like NO finding Frankie bots and I wanna change that)

Alright, I'm fueling the fire, ya freaky weirdos
Henry Hotline SFW alphabet headcanons
Henry Hotline x reader
☎️Affection-
This man sezies every opportunity to show you that he loves you. Even if you're doing nothing. He'll compliment you, hug you, kiss you
Even if he is around Frankie or Deputy Duck, he doesn't care. Expect the best hugs you can get out of a cartoon character.
His go-to form of affection is definitely compliments and physical affection
☎️Best friend-
If he's just your best friend, he'll always have your back. Need someone to vent to? Oh wow, he just so magically appeared next to you! Or you just want a buddy to hang out with? Well, good thing his show is just so happens to be canceled. He'll do anything for his closest friend
☎️Cuddles-
This man LOVES to give cuddles. Even if he's busy with something like planning out his show or spending time with the contestants. He'll drop everything for you.
And let me tell you, when he hugs or cuddles you, he does not let go for hours. You could always ask him to let go whenever you want to, but we all know he doesn't want to lose you.
☎️Domestic-
The truth is, he'd only do stuff if HE wanted to do it. If you ask him to mop the blood off of the floor or something, he'll look at you like you just lost your mind. Maybe if you give him a kiss or two, his might do what you ask him
But we all know he's a sucker for making you happy. So he'll do some chores only when you're not looking.
☎️Ending-
Over the phone. Yes, that is a stupid way to break up with someone, but he doesn't know any other way that feels right! But don't worry, he'll never break up with you, he loves you too much! But he still has a plan, just in case
☎️Fiance(e)-
Y'all really wanna marry a cartoon character? Same
He's not too big on the whole "Settling down, getting married, and starting a family" trope. He's fine if you REALLY wanna marry him. As long as it won't hinder his work and he still gets to talk in his talk show, then by all mean, slap that ring on his finger pronto! He doesn't have all day! or if you ever want him to give you a ring, just let him know
☎️Gentle-
This phone guy wannabe loves you too much to hurt you. If there is ever a time when his headaches just get to him and he needs to let out some anger. He's leaving the room, and you won't see him until he's fully calmed down
But in normal situations where he's chill, he's so gentle around you. Kisses so light that you'll think you're touching a feather. Hugs so gentle it feels like you're hugging a teddy bear.
☎️Hugs-
Like mentioned earlier, he gives the best hugs. It'll literally leave you craving more like some sort of sweet candy.
If you ever need a hug, you know he'll always give you one
☎️I love you-
That's how he confessed, goofy! He was so nervous about asking you out that he just blurted out his feelings!
And don't you worry, he always reminds you anytime you need it. But when you don't, he still says he loves you! He loves you so much!
☎️Jealousy-
Due to his massive ego, he tends to get quite jealous. Mainly around Deputy Duck and Frankie. Especially Deputy Duck. He can't help it! He just wants everyone to know that he's the one who loves you the most
☎️Kisses-
Very very soft and passionate! Almost as if he's afraid to scare you. He knows how easily angered he gets due to his headaches, so he's just trying to make both of you happy.
He's angry? Give him one small smooch and he's floored
☎️Little one-
Surprisingly, he secretly hates kids. Especially if they try to call him. Over and over again he has been called. He can't even look at a child without getting a headache.
☎️Morning-
He does the most goofy lovey-dovey shit every morning. If you guys share a bed, he is kissing your face every morning. And if you don't share a bed, he always wakes you up with a kiss on the forehead and a soft "good morning, my dear"
I'm sorry but him saying "My dear" sends me
☎️Night-
He has the most elaborate bedtime routine ever. Skin care and all. And he'd obviously sleep in one of those fancy pink night robes, also with a face mask.
Also, he sleeps like a rock. Nothing can wake him up. Not even a train horn. Except maybe a kiss or two
☎️Open-
It'll take him a while to open up to you. Not because he's scared, it's because he's too flustered to say anything. But once he finally gets used to dating you, he starts talking to you about everything. His talk-show, his rivalry with Deputy Duck, his splitting headaches, and the list goes on and on
☎️Patience-
Due to his constant headaches, he gets angered quite easily. And it can lead to some arguments here and there. Nothing too bad, just some petty words thrown. All you have to do is let him calm down with some time by himself. Once he's back to normal, he'll mumble about how he's sorry for being so rude to you and how you didn't deserve it. He'll never hurt you :)
☎️Quizzes-
This guy remembers nearly everything about you. Your favorite restaurant, color, song, book. Anything! It'll honestly leave you speechless. Like, if you mention something you like a month ago, he still remembers it to this day. He really does love you.
☎️Security-
If someone is bothering you, his hand is immediately on your waist or back. This man has to let everyone know that you're both dating. Not a single soul can split you two apart.
But normally, he's chill when it comes to being protective. He's not too overbearing about it
☎️Try-
He goes all out when it comes to birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.
On anniversaries, he lays flower petals all over, lights candles, and treats you to a well-deserved meal.
With holidays, he would help you set up anything. Need help putting lights up? He's tall. He's got it! Need help making food? Well, he'll give it a shot!
☎️Ugly-
His ego. Sometimes you two get into petty arguments and he can't see past himself. It's what HE wants. It's all about HIM. But like I said before, he'll apologize for any negative things he's said to you.
☎️-Vanity
This man spends HOURS in the morning just making sure he looks good. Even if you tell him he's perfect the way he is, he'll be flattered but he won't stop. Sometimes, he might even put on black lipstick or eyeshadow. He likes it when you kiss him and he has to redo his lipstick over and over again.
☎️-Whole
He gets so lonely when you're not around. Yeah, he'll still go on with his day, but he'll be a lot less talkative and sassy. But once you come back, it's like a child receiving a puppy for Christmas
"My love! Where have you been?!"
"I was in the bathroom. . ."
☎️Xtra-
Dance with him! He loves it! You could put on some swingy jazz or a soft romantic, he doesn't care! He just loves having you in his arms and spinning around with you!
☎️You-
He talks about you all the time. With Frankie, with Deputy Duck, and in his talk show. He loves babbling on and on about his beloved! Everyone knows he's one for showing off, especially things he likes!
"They're so cool, amazing, glorious, funny, outstanding, and-"
"GET OU-"
☎️Zzz-
OK this might sound weird but, he does snore but like not normally. Instead, his phone rings. Every time he breathes out his phone rings. And loudly too. If you share a bed, you'd probably have to either tolerate the noise or wear ear plugs
‐---‐‐---------------
Aaaaahh I'm sorry if this sucked. This was my first time ever writing something like this 🫠
Anyway, Henry is hot, you're cool, and goodbye

bunnyphone headcanon!!(henry x frankie because i can!!!)
no one can touch henry's phone (which is on henry's head, duh) EXCEPT frankie
Frankie frequently bites Henry's head because he wants to "fix his teeth" (he just wants to make Henry dumber)
frankie has telegram and henry had to install other social networks on XRL's screen(my oc) for frankie to communicate with him
Frankie hates that some people talk to Henry, especially women (fangirls maybe???), Frankie doesn't know why he doesn't like it.
Henry shares the same chair as Frankie in the camera room a few times, as the company did everything BUT buy more than 1 chair for the camera room
Frankie has a cardboard of Henry in his room (I created a headcanon where they have rooms)
Frankie DOESN'T know how to flirt and doesn't know how to receive compliments, so most of the tips that Henry gives Frankie he doesn't recognize
Henry is sometimes forced to kiss Frankie because the same request
Frankie knows how to teleport people with his top hat, he takes advantage of this so every time he's bored he brings Henry so they can talk
Frankie hates Russian because it's difficult to learn, and Henry knows how to speak Russian, so sometimes he plays the worst music to listen to on the speakers, but since it's in Russian Frankie doesn't care much
Frankie knows how to speak Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, English, German, Norwegian, Japanese and the language of the minions, Henry finds Frankie's knowledge strangely attractive (I don't know why)

Random Starbuck HC: anytime a season happens and Lucky is close to being caught by Henry M-Frankie gets REALLY fucking jealous because he believes it's their special thing
M-Frankie:"oh... I see how it is, I guess I ain't appreciated anymore since you're seeing other men"
Lucky:"... Henry tried to kill me!?"
M-Frankie:"I remember when I used to try and kill you"
Lucky:"YOU STILL TRY!"
M-Frankie:"WELL NOT ANYMORE SINCE YOU'RE WHORING YOURSELF OUT! WHY DON'T YOU GET KILLED BY HENRY! SEE IF I CARE!"
Lucky:"Jesus fucking Christ you're immature..."

So Backseat VODs, on top of getting killed by Henry TWICE before even starting his level, ended up in a situation where, halfway through the run... Henry somehow got stuck on him. SEVERAL TIMES.
(He figured out that it was somehow triggered by the pillars and maintained it by QUITE LITERALLY inching forward to stay inside Henry's hitbox.)
Like, literally, standing right over him, with Backseat inside his hit box, but not triggering his attack animation. And, just...
HOW TALL ARE YOU, MY GUY?

Hi Chy! I had a bit of a question seeing since you were in the Finding Frankie fandom (love your self ship btw) but I was wondering what your opinion on Henry Hotline are? (You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, I just think he’s a goofy guy)
Hello and thank you!
Me personally I really like Henry’s design (and honestly thought he was the one I was gonna end up self shipping with at first lol). I feel bad he has constant headaches though. Headcanon-wise, I like to think he rings when he’s flustered or scared (mostly sharing this for y’all Henry self shippers out there).

1, 12, and 26!
Thanks for the ask! Get ready though, because it's going to get a little bit longer (Thank goodness Tumblr automatically shortens long posts).
1. Gender and pronouns?
I'm a female-presenting genderfluid! My pronouns are she/they/he!
12. Favourite flag(s) visually?
There are so many flags in the community I've decided to compile a list for this question.
Here's a Top 5 (not in order):
So's first up is the gay flag. It's like prismarine.
(I know there's a bit of controversy on this one. Don't mind me if it's not the actual gay flag or something. As long as it's been used to represent the gay it's a flag.)
Next up would be the pansexual flag. Love how bright this is. Looks like Paddle Pop Rainbow (which if you haven't had is my absolute favourite ice cream).
Then there's the omnisexual flag. Like those retro pink skies and blue seas. Hotline Miami or something.
There's also the leather pride flag. Blame me for being a part of the subculture (per my last check), but I love how collage-y it looks. It reminds me of Frankie Stein.
And finally there's genderfaun! It's such a naturally mesmerising combo of colours I can't complain!
26. Some characters you headcanon as LGBT+?
Ohoho you decided to be brave with this one~. Here's a few lists of but a few. Know that I don't know every single gender there is and I'm just picking those closer to home.

Here's my Mrs. Afton! I hope you guys enjoy her because I sure do! --------------------------------------- Name: Kathryn Anesia Afton Nicknames: Kat, Kathy Age (not specific): 1 year younger than Carol Date of birth: 15 June, 1946 Zodiac: Gemini Height: 5'6/167.64 cm Gender and Pronouns: Bigender; he/him/his and she/her/hers Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Homosexual/romantic Personality Type: Extrovert Handedness: Right Fears: Failure Color Association: Light Blue Family: Harry Nelson (father), Lauren Nelson (mother), William (husband), Christopher, (oldest son), Elizabeth (daughter), Michael (youngest son) Friends: Henry, Carol Emily, Hannah Kwemto --------------------------------------- Quick headcanons -She may seem bubbly on the outside, but she is actually dealing with heavy depression. She has tried to commit suicide multiple times throughout her life, and she had to go through five different therapists until she found one she could talk to comfortably -The closest thing she has to a sibling is Henry, and they treat each other like brother and sister. Kathryn would call Henry "bro" a lot, and she never stopped calling him that since high school -She never actually told anyone about wanting to be bigender, making her depression much worse than before. She knew that she would never tell William because he obviously wouldn't respect her for that. It was one of her many regrets in life. -She is, and always will be, flat-chested. She loves being that way though since it gives her less dysphoria when she wants to feel more masculine. She did get bullied for it a bit, but it wasn't the worst she'd been through. -A week or so after Elizabeth died, a group of women she knew from high school convinced her to commit suicide, even giving her a noose before they left her. She hung herself in Elizabeth's room as a way to "be with her in the afterlife," but as she was suffocating she tried calling out the names of her loved ones, begging them for help. They didn't come in time to help her, leaving her to hang alone in her own daughter's room with only the supportive and cheery voices of Henry and her therapist clouding her mind... --------------------------------------- I'm going to leave a more serious note this time. If anyone is facing suicidal thoughts or are trying to commit suicide, please talk to someone, anyone about it. Preferably a therapist, but anyone you trust can help. Call a hotline if you need to. Stay safe everyone, please. If you guys have any questions or comments, reblog or comment on this.

HENRY HOTLINE (CARTOON) X READER HEADCANONS!!
I’ve been seeing too much Frankie and not enough Henry, so, I’m gonna feed my Henry Hotline fans!! I know some of y’all are out there COME TO ME MY SOLDIERS
☎️- At first he was still his usual snarky and charismatic self around you, but, he started to get more flustered around you, every time you and him talked he’d seem a bit nervous, and he’d try to avoid you to not embarrass himself.
☎️- But eventually, he caved. He just told you how he felt, to his own dismay. . And you felt he same!!!
☎️- Hed be a bit flustered around you at first, but, as time went on, he’d get a lot more comfortable, and instead you’d start to be the flustered one, because of his smooth talking.
☎️- Being a criminal, he didn’t have the best reputation, especially with deputy duck, so him and the deputy would get in occasional guess. Though, he’d make sure to keep you away from them.
☎️- His love language is DEFINITELY compliments, and gifts. Soon enough he’s start turning you red with flirts and fancy gifts, which always made him laugh. He’d give you the fanciest jewelry (Which he definitely stole), and the best and most expensive food.
☎️- Though, sometimes he can let his arrogance get in the way, and you two end up getting into arguments because of it. But, he’s always try to apologize the best he could, since he didn’t really say sorry much-. . AHEM-anyway, and give you fancy gifts to hopefully cheer you up.
☎️- Also he loves the beach, anytime you guys can go, you go. Yes, he throws sand at you.
☎️- Teases you any chance he gets, though he makes sure not to take it too far and upset you, he’d never forgive himself if that ever happened.
I love you henry hotline I love you Henry hotoline i love you henrybtogrlien I love you henr

I like to imagine that whenever one of the characters are unable to be shown, the person on the intercom (whether it'd be the real Frankie or not) says some lazy excuse on why they aren't around
Like "Oh, Henry isn't here? He's just getting his suit tailored"
"Deputy Duck isn't around? He's just out fighting crime"
"What? Frankie's gone? He's just out on a break jumping on some of the trampolines. Better go find him"
x reader stuff under the cut (use of y/n)
"Y/n and Henry are gone? No, they're just out on a date. They'll be back soon"
"Frankie and y/n aren't here? They're out having fun with the contestants. I'm sure they'll be fine"

if you heard screams of rage sometime in the past 12 hours, that was me. I decided to look up Eleanor Cobham in a history book I already knew was shitty (Mary McGrigor’s The Sister Queen: Isabella and Catherine de Valois).
First, her name is given as Elizabeth in the index. But no biggie, because this is the book couldn’t even stick to a consistent spelling of Catherine and said Henry V and Catherine de Valois made their entry into Paris in 1520.
Then it’s absolutely vile about her.
And I got ranty.
okay, doing this chronologically. so this author has a hotline to the afterlife and knows, okay, Catherine de Valois’s precise emotional state at any given moment, but Eleanor is only “reputedly beautiful”. *eye roll* And for the record, those kids are in all likelihood not Eleanor’s because SHE WAS KNOWN TO BE INFERTILE. JFC, if she had kids, they would have been legitimised when she and Humphrey married. And no, magic isn’t real.
Yes, what happened with Jacqueline was really shitty. It is actually a lot more complicated than “he abandoned her to fuck Eleanor” since until their marriage was annulled, he was trying to aid her (maybe not as well as he could have done but he wasn’t just sitting on his arse). The tragedy of Jacqueline’s situation is that the moment Henry V died the attempt to reclaim her inheritance was doomed to failure and politically untenable but neither she or Humphrey realised that.
Regardless, if Eleanor and Humphrey blatantly had an affair in front of Jacqueline, that’s especially shitty. But we don’t know they did. We don’t know anything about their affair until it was “known” in 1425. Personally, I like to headcanon a polyamorous relationship that went boom due to personal strain (e.g. the difficulty in the Hainault campaign, Jacqueline’s apparent stillbirth in 1424).
And we have very little evidence of Eleanor’s personality. We have NO EVIDENCE that she was mean or ill-tempered. The anonymous chronicler is obviously writing in the aftermath of the accusations of witchcraft which most historians think are bullshit, designed to exploit Eleanor’s irregular position (i.e. a minor gentlewoman who was married far above her station) and her unpopularity. Their marriage might have been viewed as incompatible simply because of the vast differences in their social standings - Gloucester was son, brother and uncle of kings, Eleanor was a knight’s daughter. Maybe we should consider that narrative as classist?
And we have NO EVIDENCE Gloucester regretted marrying her. He never said anything against her, even during her trial when it would have been expedient to do so. There is no record he cheated on her or took a mistress - even after their divorce. There is an account he went to the parliament at Bury St Edmunds where he was arrested for treason and died in custody because he had been promised a pardon for her. AUTHOR, HE LOVED HER.
No. This wasn’t “thanks to her position”, this was thanks to the the lack of precedents for trying a peeress for felony and treason. And someone was probably pissed off that they couldn’t kill Eleanor because the law was changed in 1442 so peeresses could be charged with and executed for treason. YAY.
“merely made to walk through the streets of ‘London like a common prositute’ before being sentenced to life imprisonment under strict supervision”
"merely”
Look, public humiliation and shaming - being made through London bare-headed (some accounts say bare-footed as well, personally I doubt it) - and then life imprisonment is infinitely more humane than being burnt to death or drowned. But it’s still a horrible thing to have to go through given that Eleanor was likely to be guilty of nothing more than buying fertility potions, i.e. she was guilty of wanting to have a baby. One (modern) account of her imprisonment states Eleanor had to be strictly watched so she couldn’t kill herself. “merely” my arse.
Also, why did state her penance walk made her “like a common prositute”? Why? (Also: CITE YOUR QUOTATION.)
And the whole thing reads as “Eleanor totally deserved to be burnt at the stake and die horribly but got off because ‘privledge’” which is disgusting. NO ONE DESERVES TO DIE LIKE THAT, YOU HORRIBLE PERSON. And if we are want to talk about privilege, let’s talk about the fact Eleanor Cobham has no voice in the historical narrative. Let’s talk about the misogynistic AND classist narratives that regurgitated again and again and haven’t changed much since the 15th century that tells us that Eleanor Cobham was just a slutty commoner who didn’t have the epic romance like Katherine Swynford or the empowering queen narrative like Elizabeth Woodville to mean we have to think she’s awesome-sauce. Let’s talk about the fact that Catherine de Valois is now celebrated for marrying a Welsh commoner for love while Eleanor is a commoner derided for marrying a man far above her status, most likely out of love.
You know what? I am so fucking sick of authors, especially women authors, pouring misogynistic vitriol or just regurgitating it on women to make their chosen women look better.
Not on Eleanor, but hey, it was on the same page and it made me MAD.
Oh, nice. Nice.
Catherine’s own will, written by her, states she had suffered a “long, grievous malady” which implies that she was seriously ill around her death. But yeah, let’s ignore Catherine’s own words to follow Agnes Strickland off a cliff and claim that Gloucester forced her into an abbey where she subsequently died of no other cause than being heartbroken (and giving birth, but like, mainly heartbroken). No. I’m going to believe Catherine when she talks about being sick.
Was Gloucester “cruel” to Catherine? Well, he was a dick to her in terms of making it difficult for her remarry but then he had valid political concerns about it and he was a dick to Owen Tudor after Catherine’s death. It’s probable her Tudor marriage was an open secret and nothing was done until after her death, at which point her sons were sent to Katherine de la Pole (aka Suffolk’s sister and unlikely to be a crony of Gloucester’s), who appears to have looked after them well and encouraged Henry VI to bond with them. Catherine named Gloucester a supervisor in her will, which was written after her entry into the abbey, which suggests if she wasn’t exactly afraid of him or didn’t trust him. If she had felt he had mistreated her, why the hell did she give him a position of authority and trust in relation to her own will?
And, nice work stating Henry “cinnamon roll” VI was down to murder someone without pity or good cause. I mean, he didn’t have a great relationship with Gloucester at this point but like, fucking yikes.

OUAT 3X03 - Quite a Common Fairy
Well, I’m FAIRY certain we’re in for a good time today, and I hope you’ll agree!
(That pun works in two ways. I’m proud.)
And if you want to hear my non-pun thoughts, meet me below the cut! (Though who would ever want to read thoughts that don’t come in pun form? Those who do are not to be trusted!)
Press Release
In their continuing quest to find Peter Pan’s hideout and save Henry, Hook suggests tracking down Tinker Bell in the hope that she will lead them straight to his camp. Pan reveals to Henry why he has brought him to Neverland and in the Enchanted Forest, Neal has a plan that could transport him to Emma, but it would involve using one of Robin Hood’s most precious possessions. Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was, Tinker Bell offers to help Regina improve her life.
General Thoughts - Characters/Stories/Themes and Their Effectiveness
Past
So I like how Regina’s air has really changed in the opening of the flashback. The flashback before this, from what I gather, is “The Doctor” and you can see how the murder she committed there has affected her after the fact. It’s clearly darkened her, as depicted by the way Lana plays it (Her voice and posture, specifically), but what I like is how that affected her. She doesn’t want to be evil and takes a step back to see what she wants.
”He’s dead and I suffered. What you sent me towards wasn’t going to change that.” This line is fantastic because Regina’s right in a way. Meeting something new won’t change the hurt she’s already felt and is likely still feeling over Daniel’s death. That said, it’s appropriately framed as something she absolutely needed to do for her own sake. While the past can’t be changed, there can be a good future if you allow for it to come to pass.
“I no longer believe in you.” I still hold onto my headcanon about Blue not necessarily being evil, BUT by being such a bureaucrat, she sort of became a villain in her own right. Tink, Nova, Dreamy, and countless others all have their hearts in the right place and Blue just can’t (Or won’t) bend the rules to help them. While not completely devoid of redeemability, I can’t fault anyone for hating her. Her character is incredibly annoying, not at all a paragon or even an inspiration of goodness. She’s a Rubix Cube and finding out what circumstances will allow her to give one magic and advice is a puzzle (And not even a fun one). She’s also not especially engaging on other levels, making her importance in the series something of a dead weight.
Neverland
You really see how dark Neverland has turned Tinker Bell. From the costume design to her more flight-or-fight mannerisms portrayed in Rose’s performance, Tink’s character in Neverland is almost unrecognizable here to what we see in the flashback. It’s incredibly effective in showing the consequences of Regina’s decision. I love her wild eyes.
What an amazing episode for Regina! Her characterization here was simply fantastic. The episode doesn’t playing around with the fact that Regina...well, she’s not the greatest person in the world just yet. She eggs Tinker Bell on and makes snippy comments. But her choices are improving and that happens in a natural way. Her test to Tinker Bell is harsh, but Regina does it in a way only Regina would do. The way she challenges Tink’s potential to do bad is effective in showing how she still believes in her, making the tepid resolution they settle on work.
Enchanted Forest
“So because I know what it’s like to lose family, I should risk mine?” This sentiment honestly holds true in this segment so strongly. I get Neal’s frustration, but he is risking a four year old’s safety. The good thing is that it’s framed to give exactly the feelings that it solicits and Neal’s speeches do help a lot with the balance of sympathy. While I didn’t like Neal basically guilting Robin into using Roland to summon the shadow, it does make sense as a desperate move needed for him as a father. I do wish for that reason though that the speeches were more about Henry specifically. It would make the main conflict more of a relation to a father and his son, strengthening his bond with Robin. That said, the discussion of romance was nice and it did give way to Mulan’s storyline.
Insights - Stream of Consciousness
-David, get over your fucking machismo! You literally JUST got poisoned because of it!
-Fuck! A moving map! Pan is dastardly as all hell!
-Who doesn’t like apples?” “It’s a family thing.” Oh come on, Henry! I’m sure they’d be the APPLE of your eye if you just APPLE-y yourself and eat one! XD
-I like how Neal demonstrates the cleverness that helped him survive in Neverland and eventually escape through his deductions with Mulan. It’s a very logical process.
-ROLAND!!! BABY ROLAND! FIRST APPEARANCE! BEST EPISODE EVER!!! AWWWWW!
-Seriously, the casting department found the single most adorable kid in the world to be Roland!
-Neal...are you sure this is a good idea? He’s a baby, Neal.
-Not gonna lie, I’d try roast swan.
-”I’m the queen, but I’m practically a prisoner with a husband whose heart is still with his dead wife, and his insipid daughter.” Regina’s dynamic with Leopold, while undeniably abusive to her, fascinates me. This line makes me wonder if she has tried falling for Leopold and to a degree, succeeded. She’s bothered by Leopold still only holding feelings for his dead wife and being stuck in that position and I’m not sure if the next scene either strengthens this mindset or diminishes it.
-Rumple analogy of the diner and the feast is very interesting to me. It plays the darkness off as something predatory, more of a hunter than something to be sought. It makes sense because Rumple kind of did get stolen by the darkness in that he was unprepared to have to take it on and the consequences of that choice.
-I really appreciate that at least one of the fairies is actively acting as a suicide hotline!
-”But, if I had, here’s to good reasons.” That’s...really fucking dark!
-”It is possible to find love again.” I love this sentiment. Once can never rule out the possibility of new love! <3
-*Henry attempts to shoot Pan in the fucking chest* What a badass!!!
-*Goes to the fairies’ den* Show, you cannot throw that many colors at me AND spin! Talk about sensory overload!
-”My name isn’t green. It��s Tinker Bell.” So fairies have names. What’s Blue’s?
-Blue! Who died and put you in control of the fairies?! Because they were kind of an idiot!
-”Are you out of your mind? He’s four years old!” My sentiments exactly, Robin!
-”What did you do to her?” That line was delivered flawlessly! It’s so chill and it cracks me the fuck up.
-”Operation Henry.” Awwwwww!!!!!
-”Does anyone really own pixie dust?” “The fairies are quite proprietary about it.” Fairies are dicks. Or really, just Blue.
-”The beginning of your happiness.” I really applaud the carefulness of the show with lines like these. Robin isn’t the sole component of her Regina’s happy ending, but he is still part of it.
-I honestly forgot there was a standoff here between Tink and Regina and was thusly as shocked as the audience probably originally was!
-”A complicated history. That’s quite a diplomatic way of describing it.” Well, she is a queen and a bit more refined!
-How was there never an episode called “The Man with the Lion Tattoo?”
-You can see how well Lana plays Regina’s goodbye to Tinker Bell in the flashback. She starts out scared (As Tinker Bell suspected) and hesitant, but you see her Evil Queen persona come in, pulling off a wicked goodbye to ensure that she leaves.
-Blue, you are just the worst.
- “It’s too late for me.” ”Only if you kill me.” I wouldn’t even say that’s the point of no return. Half the people who came to Neverland have killed tons.
-Part of why I love season 3 is I love seeing groups strategize and work together and the payoff that comes with it. It’s such a satisfying sensation.
-So I love how Tink was so clearly gamed for tracking down for Regina but had NO idea about her companions! XD
-Felix says “Baelfire” so freakin’ creepily.
-You didn’t just ruin your life. You ruined his.” I actually hate this line. Robin’s life wasn’t ruined. Derailed, perhaps, but he was genuinely in love with Marian and Roland is the most precious child in the world!
Arcs - How Are These Storylines Progressing?
The Mission to Save Henry - This arc is moving so smoothly along! So far, every episode has progressed this in a natural way that still feels like a lot of progress was made and here is no exception. There’s a real momentum to this season and it’s chugging along well. I feel like we’re taking a big step forward and it’s making for quite the nice walk.
Regina’s Redemption - Regina’s redemption this season is progressing also quite smoothly! Here, she’s a mix of herself -- kind of an asshole at times, but focused and genuinely trying to do better. I feel like Regina’s redemption is starting to come into its own here. It makes sense that there was some turbulence in late Season 2, and now, it’s more settled, making the growth more gradual and at the same time, quick.
Emma Accepting Her Parents - We only get a brief bit of this while exploring Tink’s pad, but it’s incredibly effective to help further bridge the gap between Emma and Snow. Lack, whether it be family or material possessions, is such a big component of Emma’s pre-Storybrooke life and to see how Snow dealt with that in the past was a clever move!
Favorite Dynamic
Emma and Regina. “So what did you do to her?” First and foremost, this line just cracks me in the casual way it’s brought up. Emma’s casual shrug and drinking-buddy tone is honestly funny. But continuing on, Emma and Regina share an amazing scene together. Both ladies have this genuine moment of kindness, all the while completely staying in character. It’s not overly friendly, but it’s friendly enough and focused enough to be believable and powerful at the same time. It also says so much about Regina. Regina’s throwing herself in danger and risking never seeing her son again and so quickly defaults to Emma taking care of him and saving him. It’s really meaningful!
Writer
Jane Espenson is up for her first episode of Season 3, and she does an incredible job here. The writing is smooth. Any episode that has three plots across three different realms has the challenge of balancing and weighing screen time and Jane makes the whole episode feel as smooth as peanut butter. It’s also smooth in the respect that this episode requires the characters to make bold choices and take hard chances (Ex. Regina letting Tink take her, Robin letting Neal use Roland to summon the shadow) and she makes the dialogue work for her so that these decisions don’t feel too harsh on the audience. That’s an admirable trait.
Rating
10/10. This was a really enjoyable episode. Tinker Bell’s introduction and Regina’s character development is great! It’s enjoyable seeing more of the characters working together and getting closer to finding Henry. I used the word “smooth” a lot in this review, and that’s because it’s honestly true. This whole episode feels smooth, from its development to its storytelling, it feels like driving on a freshly paved road, and given the broad strokes of what happened here that wasn’t an easy thing to do.
Flip My Ship - The Home of All Things “Shippy Goodness”
Captain Swan - Regina’s definitely getting those CS feels!!! And why wouldn’t she when there’s a COCONUT sharing between these two?!
Outlaw Queen - It’s interesting that the music playing in the background as Regina sees Robin’s tattoo is something akin to the wedding march. A lot of the same notes are hit, though it’s not a 1:1.
Swan Fire - Neal’s regret in his speech is really heartwarming! He wants so badly to get back together and make things right.
Sleeping Warrior - *Starts crying from the unrequited feels like a baby who just had their candy stolen*
Swan Queen - As said before, I really like Emma and Regina’s scene together! There’s a growing sense of trust between them now and it adds a heartwarming undertone to the scene to the melancholy overtone of Regina splitting off from the group.
-----
Thank you for reading and to the fine folks at @watchingfairytales!!! <3
Next time, uggh, sorry for the tangent, but I can’t scratch my lotto ticket because I chewed my nails too much. Man, I really need to take care of this...nasty habit. ;)
See you guys then!

"The Spy and the Kid...Spy Kid?" - Chapter 1
God that title is so lame lsdksdklks. I suck at titles, so I apologize for that. I try to be witty, and this is what happens. Also, this fic is pretty serious, so maybe a silly title doesn't fit the mood...oh well.
Dedicated to: @sunbeameyes @ramune-ray @up-the-tube @youngbloodthekilljoy @writing-excuses @an-anxious-gay-mess @kiwikwami
Summary: Jasper's cousin, Elizabeth, is in town for spring break, but Henry suspects trouble when she arrives just as a new, unnamed villain begins terrorizing Swellview.
Fandom: Henry Danger
A/N: Okay, I know introducing a distant relative for one specific plot and making them relevant by saying, "Hey, this is so-and-so. We used to be tight as kids!" is weak (I always hated when tv shows did that only to have the character appear for one episode), but here I am, doing it anyway. Guess I'm a hypocrite. Sue me. lolol I needed a new character that I could somehow relate to the characters we already know, so Jasper has a cousin from out of state. *shrugs* I hope you like this! The idea came to me in a dream (lol), and I thought it was interesting and decided to go with it. Also in my fic Henry can drive because he's like seventeen, so, you know. And I've headcanoned that Piper is secretly intelligent because I like the idea of her being in advanced classes and whatnot but being incredibly hush-hush about it (she did go to the gizmo show, after all). Enjoy! xoxoxo
————————
"Okay, that was the bell." Ms. Shapen snapped. "Get out of my face--all of you!"
Henry rolled his eyes; his teacher's sour attitude was nothing out of the ordinary. He collected his notebook and pens and everything else he had been using and put them in his book bag, sending a quick nod to Jasper as they both got out of their seats. They met Charlotte by the door, and the three of them left the classroom in the direction of their lockers.
"Man, Ms. Shapen really went heavy with the homework today." Jasper sighed, grabbing both his book bag straps as he walked. He was already thinking about how late he was going to be up finishing all that they had been given. Of course, he was already going to stay up late, but now it was going to be because of the inconvenience that is homework.
"Yeah," Henry grimaced. "I guess her date didn't go so well yesterday."
Charlotte stopped walking. "Or she's tired of having to deal with lazy students," she shot. She didn't think her teacher's love life or lack thereof was of any concern to them. The homework load they were assigned for tonight wasn't even that extensive; Henry and Jasper just liked doing the bare minimum.
Henry held his hands up in surrender and looked at Jasper with a "what's with her" look. Jasper shrugged and walked over to his locker. Henry and Charlotte walked to theirs as well.
Henry swung his backpack around and was pulling out notebooks he wouldn't need tonight when Jasper, who was done with his locker, leaned against the one next to Henry's. Henry noticed Jasper was trying for nonchalance, but subtlety had never been Jasper's strong-suit.
"What's going on?" Henry jested.
"You have a guest bedroom in your house, right?" Jasper wondered, but his tone told Henry that he wasn't really asking.
"I do." Henry clarified, his eyes narrowed apprehensively.
Jasper nodded. "I thought so." He played with one of the straps of his book bag. "Say, since that room is free and meant for guests, do you think my cousin could stay there over spring break?"
Henry stopped thumbing through his pre-calculus textbook and looked at Jasper, eyes wide at the onslaught of implications in that question. "What?"
"I need somewhere for my cousin to stay." Jasper explained, his eyes pleading. "My parents don't allow guests--not even family--and Charlotte won't let anyone even remotely related to me stay at her house after that incident."
Henry shuddered at the memory of Jasper's last girlfriend. He looked at Jasper's wide eyes and groaned. "I don't know, man. Last time I let someone's relative stay at my house, you, my little sister, and most of Swellview almost lost their teeth." He shuddered again, remembering that whole odd situation involving stealing teeth and the elderly. It wasn't something he enjoyed thinking about.
"Yeah but she's not like that." he pleaded. "Please, Henry. I haven't seen her since we were kids."
Henry paused. "Wait, you said she?"
Jasper nodded his head. "Her name's Elizabeth."
This changed things. "Is she cute?" Henry asked, a slight smirk on his face.
Jasper only shrugged; who was he to say whether his cousin was attractive or not? "I guess--if you're into that sort of thing."
Henry considered this for a moment, but he stopped himself. He wouldn't let that happen again--not after Noelle and the teeth and just, no. He would do this for Jasper to spend time with family. Nothing else.
"Alright, man. Sure, she can stay at my house." He shut his locker. "My mom loves having people over anyway." It was true; his mother loved being able to be, well, a mother to people.
Jasper jumped up and down and pulled Henry into a tight hug. "Thank you so much, Henry! You have no idea how much this means to me!"
Henry coughed, unable to breathe properly with Jasper squeezing him so tightly. "I have a pretty good idea." He groaned.
Jasper realized Henry couldn't breathe and let him go. "Do you mind picking her up from the airport too? I would, but I don't have a car."
Henry straightened his shirt out. "Sure. When does her flight arrive?"
"Today. Around seven."
"Wh--Today?" Henry sputtered. "It's Thursday. We have school tomorrow."
"I know," Jasper placated. "Her school gets out for spring break earlier than ours does." He finished with another pleading, wide-eyed look.
There wasn't much Henry could do now; he'd already agreed. "Yeah, fine. I'll just pick her up after work, I guess." Jasper jumped to give Henry another bone-crushing hug, but Henry held his hands up. "That's okay."
Jasper backed off, but he couldn't stop the wide smile on his face. Henry had made him so happy. He was going to see his cousin today.
Jasper remembered how much fun they had as kids; it was nice to know there was someone like him--someone else who was normal--in his family. Those weekends when Lizzie would visit Jasper were some of the best of his life. It had been years since he had seen her, and he could hardly contain himself from bursting with happiness now that it was only a matter of hours before he was going to be reunited with his favorite family member.
Charlotte walked up to the boys then. "Did he agree to do it?"
Jasper nodded vigorously. "He did."
Charlotte could see how happy Jasper was, and it made her smile. She looked at Henry apologetically. "Sorry about the ambush. I don't care how much Jasper says she's nice. I can't. Not after--" she trailed off, but they all knew.
There was a moment of silence as they all remembered her.
"Okay, let's get to work, shall we?" Henry announced, ready to be out of the school.
"Let's," Charlotte agreed. "Are you driving?"
Henry shook his head, avoiding his friend's eyes. "No, Piper has the car."
Jasper and Charlotte groaned in unison.
"Why would your parents let her drive the car when you have a legal license?" Jasper complained. He feared for his life every time he even got near Piper when she was behind the wheel of a car.
"You know how Piper is. No one lets her do anything. She just does it." Henry argued, throwing his hands up.
Charlotte rolled her eyes. She didn't like driver Piper either, but she knew there wasn't anything she could do about it. Like Henry said, Piper just does things. "Fine, but you're riding shotgun." She pointed a stern finger at Henry.
Henry accepted the punishment as penance for being the older brother, and the gang walked out of the school to meet the girl who was currently laying on the horn.
__________
"Do you see them?" Kid Danger asked Captain Man.
They were currently scouring Swellview Park for two criminals by the names of Donnie and Hyde, a couple who got their kicks by stealing money, jewelry, and even sometimes home entertainment centers. They were petty thieves as far as Henry and Ray--Captain Man and Kid Danger--were concerned. It never took more than an hour to track them down. Captain Man and Kid Danger had busted them a few times, but like all the other criminals in Swellview seem to be capable of doing, they had broken out of jail and were on a crime-spree.
But something about tonight seemed off to Kid Danger.
Maybe it was the fact that Donnie and Clyde hadn't even stolen anything.
Or, better yet, that they had called the Captain Man hotline.
It was some taunting video message that had said there was something big about to go down. The thieves stressed that Captain Man and Kid Danger wouldn't want to miss it, and they should come to Swellview Park immediately. That was all the video said.
Everything about the situation was bizarre to Kid Danger, but he pushed past it. They were criminals who had broken out of jail; they needed to be caught.
"No, I don't." Captain Man responded with a frown. He too had noticed that this wasn't going down like their usual gig. He had the nagging suspicion in the back of his mind that he and Kid Danger were missing a bigger, important piece of the puzzle.
Kid Danger stopped searching to let his mind sift through all that wasn't making sense. He sat down hard on one of the park benches. "Okay, this is weird, right?"
Captain Man chewed on his bottom lip. "Yeah, it's definitely weird." He scratched the back of his neck. "Donnie and Clyde calling us? What was that about?"
"Right?" Kid Danger agreed. He gestured to the empty park. "I mean, why lead us to the park if no one is even here?"
Captain Man didn't sit down. He was too anxious to sit. He paced back and forth nervously, trying to shake the feeling that he and Kid Danger were being set up for something. "I don't know." He spoke finally. "And I don't like not knowing."
Kid Danger dragged a hand through his hair. "Do you think they've moved on from stealing? Why break out of jail now. Is there some big plan? Are they working for someone?" He had to stop himself. "God, one question just makes five more."
Captain Man held a hand out. "Why don't we just stay on alert. They wanted us here. Obviously something is supposed to happen, so just be prepared for anything."
Kid Danger nodded and stood up from the bench, thinking it best to be standing if something did happen. Suddenly he felt something prick his neck.
"Ah, what the--" he slapped a hand to his neck and pulled it away, expecting to see a squished mosquito, but there was nothing there.
Captain Man rushed over to Kid Danger. "What is it? Are you alright?" He demanded. The waiting made him a bit high strung.
Kid Danger waved him off. "Yeah, I think a bug bit me or something." He wasn't completely certain though. He wasn't certain of anything today.
Captain Man jumped slightly then, slapping a hand to his neck just as Kid Danger had. "I think the same bug just bit me too."
They looked at each other, both thinking the exact same thing; too many weird things were happening today for this to be purely coincidence.
As if they didn't have enough to worry about.
They didn't have time to ponder it long. Suddenly, a noise sounded from the other end of the park.
"What was that?" Kid Danger whispered, moving into a fighting stance.
Captain Man did the same. "Get ready, Kid."
Donnie and Clyde walked out from behind the park's information kiosk then, smirking at Captain Man and Kid Danger. They were wearing their usual uniform: all black leather.
"So, I see you two decided to join us after all," Donnie drawled, taking slow steps in the direction of the superheroes.
"What do you two want?" Captain Man snapped, not liking that they seemed to know something he didn't. He didn't like the disadvantage that put him at.
Donnie looked back to Clyde with his arms spread out innocently. "We just want to talk." They walked closer.
"To talk?" Kid Danger scoffed. "That's why you brought us all here? To talk."
Donnie put a finger on the tip of his nose, "And the Kid gets one hundred points!" He mocked, walking closer still.
Kid Danger rolled his eyes. He didn't feel like wasting any more time on these clowns. He looked at Captain Man, an understanding passing between them. "Then let's talk." He snarled, and he and Captain Man lunged for the two men.
The two superheroes were too focused on Donnie and Clyde to realize that four more men were creeping up behind them. Normally, this would've been something the two of them picked up on immediately--especially Kid Danger with his super fast reflexes--but the two had been on such high alert waiting for Donnie and Clyde that they didn't leave room to think about much else.
Two men grabbed Captain Man while a third stood close in case the two weren't enough. Only one of the large men was needed to hold Kid Danger.
Clyde spoke up then. "You two seem to forget the most important thing about being a criminal." He gestured to the four burly men, "Henchmen! You don't ever actually have to do anything. They do everything for you!"
Captain Man fought against the two men who were holding him back, but his super power was not super strength. He couldn't break free. Kid Danger also couldn't get away from the henchman.
"It's not like you two to let anyone else in on your little schemes." Captain Man grunted, hoping to distract Donnie and Clyde. He still fought the arms around him despite the obvious futility. "What's with the extra muscle?"
Donnie and Clyde smiled at each other.
"It's one of the many perks of joining a cause." Donnie cooed, staring lovingly at Clyde.
"What cause?" Kid Danger growled. He too was still trying to break free. He twisted to reach his laser, hoping to use it on the brute holding him back, but the henchman had Kid Danger's arms pinned behind him. Too much movement sent pain radiating up to his shoulders.
Donnie and Clyde were telling the truth when they said they wanted to talk. They had been sent to the park to do so. Confident that Captain Man and Kid Danger were thoroughly indisposed, they both sat down on a park bench.
Clyde took a deep breath like he was preparing to tell a bed time story. "You see, Cap and Kiddo, breaking out of jail is no easy feat--especially for two petty thieves such as ourselves."
Donnie shook his head. "That's right. It's rather difficult, but with the right help, it's a--" he motioned all around them. "Well, it's a regular walk in the park!" He and Clyde erupted into a fight of laughter.
Captain Man looked over to Kid Danger, and they shared mutual expressions of annoyance.
"Will you two just get to the point?" Captain Man snapped. He was tired of being in the dark, tired of having these big--and quite frankly smelly--men holding him back, and he was tired of being dragged around by these two thieves. "What help are you talking about?"
Clyde clucked disapprovingly at Captain Man. "He doesn't like our witty banter, my love." He whispered to Donnie, but it was one of those obnoxious whispers that is meant to be heard by everyone. "Straight to the point, I see. Well, if you must know, Donnie and I have recently come upon a very lucrative business offer."
Donnie nodded. "Very lucrative." He gestured to his outfit. "This is genuine leather, you know."
Henry rolled his eyes. His patience was wearing thin. "I'm very happy for you two. Really."
Clyde waved him off. "What do they know of fashion? I mean, seriously. Red and blue block colors? What is this--a pre-school color test?"
The couple went into another one of their laughter spells, but Donnie quickly regained his composure.
"We digress." He stated, shaking his body as if to refocus. "We have called you here, on this lovely afternoon, to inform you that big things are at play."
"Things we can't disclose just yet," Clyde added, holding a finger up to stop his partner from revealing too much. "But rest assured, you two will be center stage for it all."
If Captain Man and Kid Danger had been confused before, they were completely lost now. Donnie and Clyde had explained nothing. All they did was give the superheroes half of the information, and it was the half that made more questions instead of answering the ones they already had.
Devices on Donnie and Clyde's belts beeped then, and they both jumped up from their seat.
"Ah, that would be our boss." Donnie said. "Duty calls, I'm afraid." He sighed almost as if he were sad to go. "We had to make sure our players are all in play, though, didn't we?"
"We'll be seeing you." Clyde promised with a secretive wink. They started to walk away, but Clyde turned back to address Captain Man and Kid Danger. "How's the neck by the way?" His gave a chilling smile that further proved he knew much that they didn't. "Ta-ta for now." He waved, and the pair walked away.
It made Captain Man and Kid Danger seethe to see the two criminals strutting away without a care in the world. They struggled against the men holding them back, but it was still to no avail.
The men couldn't hold the two forever though; they did have orders.
The large man holding Kid Danger suddenly let him go. Once free, Kid Danger immediately turned around to attack the big man, but the henchman had been expecting that. He sent heavy fist flying at Kid Danger's face.
"Kid!" Captain Man yelled when his sidekick fell motionless to the ground.
His henchman let Captain Man go then, confident that he wouldn't try to attack all four at once when Kid Danger was lying hurt on the ground. They were right.
Captain Man sent threatening glares in their direction, but he let them walk away. He ran over to Kid Danger, crouching down to make sure the kid was alright.
Kid Danger began to stir.
"Kid," Captain Man breathed, relieved to see him moving so quickly. "Are you alright?"
Kid Danger sat up with a groan and dropped his head into his hand. "That guy could really pack a punch."
Captain Man gave a dry laugh. "I know."
He looked around the park for the henchmen. "Where'd they go? You didn't fight all of them, did you?"
Captain Man shook his head. "No, I didn't." He side-eyed Kid Danger. "Though the lack of confidence is bit insulting." He helped his sidekick to his feet. "I let them get away so I could check on you."
Kid Danger nodded. He didn't blame Captain Man. Everything that had happened since they received that video call had been so unsettling; the only sure thing they had was each other.
Kid Danger swayed a bit on his feet, still a little disoriented, and Captain Man kept a hand on his arm to steady him. "I have so many questions." The sidekick admitted shakily.
Captain Man sighed deeply. "All I have is questions." He gave Kid Danger a light push. "Let's head back to the Man Cave and try to see if we can figure things out there. I'm tired of being in this park."
Kid Danger agreed. He almost felt sick to his stomach thinking about all that had happened--though some of that might have to do with the blow he took to the face. What unsettled him the most, what made him feel like the ground had been ripped out from under his feet, was the promise that bigger things--things revolving around the two of them--were to come.
What could that mean?
__________
"Are you okay?" Charlotte asked as soon as Henry and Ray made it down the tubes and had changed back into their regular clothes. She rushed to Henry's side to make sure he wasn't severely injured from the punch. "We saw everything." She turned back to Schwoz who was nodding grimly.
"Define okay." Henry muttered. He gently pushed away Charlotte's helping hands, assuring her that he was fine. "You guys heard what they said then, yeah?"
Charlotte nodded. "What does it mean?"
Ray shook his head, his jaw clenched. "We don't know."
The four of them were silent for a moment.
"What did they mean about your necks?" Schwoz asked then, a terrible thought beginning to form in his head.
Henry felt his neck where it had stung like a bug bite. "Ray and I felt like a bug bite us or something, but it was all too weird, you know? All that happens, and then the same bug bites us both? It's hard to believe that was just coincidence."
Charlotte knitted her eyebrows together. "So, what? Something stung you that wasn't a bug?" She could admit that the events that unfolded all seemed to be happening according to some underlying plan, but what was Henry implying? The bugs were in on it too? That seemed a bit too far fetched for her, a girl of rational thought.
"I know it sounds crazy, but what about what Clyde said? He asked us how our necks were. How could he have known about that?" Henry turned to Ray for support. "They weren't even there when it happened."
Charlotte held her hands up to try and calm her quickly spiraling friend. "I'm not saying your wrong, okay? All I'm saying is that we don't have enough information to be making any kind of conclusions just yet."
Henry used her gentle tone to help calm himself. If he wasn't careful, he would spiral into a panic attack. He took a few deep breaths in and out, centering himself.
Ray walked over to the control panel to bring up the video feed from their suits. He wasn't looking for anything in particular, but he figured maybe there was something there that they had missed. Ray couldn't rely on what he and Henry remembered in the moment; they weren't firing on all pistons then. They had been pretty shaken up before Donnie and Clyde ever showed up. No, he needed to review the information with new eyes--repeatedly.
Schwoz, all the while, remained silent, his premonition quickly looking more and more like a reality. He kept this realization to himself; he was worried what the information would do to his friends who were already under incredible stress. He would figure this one out on his own, and he wouldn't go to Ray or Henry about it unless absolutely necessary. Schwoz feared that outcome though; if there wasn't anything he could do about what he knew, then there was no hope.
Henry and Charlotte joined Ray in front of the video screen.
Ray was playing the part of the recording where Donnie and Clyde warned of big things in the near future. Ray paused the video. He was silent before slamming his fist on the table, making Charlotte jump.
"Who could they be working for?" He demanded to no one in particular. He got up from his seat, fearing that if he didn't get up and move or do something, his anger would find some destructive way out. "Why not just get us there? Why all the chit-chat and the secrets and the mind games?" He looked at Donnie and Clyde's faces on the screen. "I hope they know we're coming for them."
Charlotte watched Ray. She was worried. The only other time she had seen Ray so worked up was when Drex came back. This could only mean bad things for the team, and that realization didn't sit well with Charlotte.
Henry's eyes were glued to the screen. He heard their voices bouncing around in his head on a constant loop. Over and over again he heard them joke about what the future had in store for Captain Man and Kid Danger. Over and over again they laughed and taunted him.
His phone buzzed in his back pocket, jolting him back to reality; Jasper was calling him.
"Yeah," he answered, not tearing his eyes away from the screen.
"Henry, why are you still at Junk 'n Stuff?" Jasper demanded, his tone harsh.
Henry was so focused on what had happened that Junk 'n Stuff and Jasper and his normal life seemed to exist in another world entirely. It took him a few seconds to remember what Junk 'n Stuff even was.
"Because I work here," he responded absently.
"You seriously don't know what I'm talking about?"
Henry almost laughed aloud at the irony. He wanted to snap at Jasper for making him play along with whatever it was Jasper was on about because it seemed so miniscule to what he had just experienced, but that wouldn't be fair. Jasper didn't know that Henry was near to having a nervous break down.
"No, man, I don't." He sighed, finally looking away from the screen. Jasper's anger at Henry seemed to pull him away from his problem.
"Are you sure? Is there nothing--or no one--coming to mind?" Jasper's tone made it obvious he was more than angry at Henry.
"Okay," Henry stopped him, rubbing a hand over his tired eyes. "This could obviously go on for awhile, so will you just tell me whatever it is that has you freaking out?"
"Elizabeth, Henry. You were supposed to be picking my cousin up an hour ago." Jasper fumed.
Henry's jaw fell open. Crap. It had totally slipped his mind. He had forgotten all about picking her up from the airport--though with good reason. Up until just then, Henry had forgotten she existed. He felt ten times worse when he remembered it was now raining.
"Oh God, Jasper, I'm sorry. I completely forgot about Elizabeth." He drug a heavy hand down his face. He wasn't sure how much more he could take today. Charlotte looked up at him sympathetically.
"Don't apologize to me." Jasper snorted. "Elizabeth is the one who's been standing in the rain for an hour." Henry could tell he was going to have to spend awhile making this up to Jasper, but he couldn't worry about that now; his plate was already full.
He grabbed his jacket, put it on with one hand seeing how he was holding his phone with the other, and found his book bag where his car keys were. "Okay, I'm on my way now. Tell her I'll be there in fifteen minutes tops."
Henry couldn't see him, but Jasper was shaking his head in disbelief. "I'm sure she won't mind waiting fifteen minutes more. It's not like she's cold and wet or anything."
Henry closed his eyes. "Jasper, I said I was sorry. Ray and I were fighting some criminals, and I got sidetracked. What do you want me to say?"
"Nothing," Jasper sighed. "Just--Just go pick Liz up."
"I am." Henry reiterated.
"Yeah, now." Jasper muttered.
"Jasp--" Henry's phone beeped. "--per."
He slid his phone back into his back pocket. He didn't bother saying bye to anyone in the Man Cave; he knew it wouldn't have mattered. Ray was finding some way to vent his anger. Schwoz had disappeared to God knows where--he went to work on his theory in private--and Charlotte was watching the video feed again. None of them would've heard him anyway
He got in the elevator and pressed the button to go up.
Henry hoped that whoever Liz was, she was a lot more understanding than Jasper had been and that she wouldn't be too harsh on Henry for forgetting her.
He wasn't sure how much more emotional stress he could handle before he shut down completely.
__________
"Again, I am so sorry about--" Henry gestured to both his and Liz's soaked clothes and wet hair. "Well, everything."
Elizabeth chuckled. "Don't sweat it. I needed to wash my hair anyway."
Henry smiled, relieved to find that Elizabeth was the forgiving type. He had felt horrible when he pulled up to the airport and found her completely drenched and alone. She didn't even have an umbrella. Fortunately for Henry, she wasn't one for public ridicule or holding grudges; she had merely thanked Henry for picking her up and helping her with her bags.
She didn't know it, but Elizabeth had helped Henry cope with today's stress. She had been kind and forgiving and level-headed in the midst of chaos, and that was Henry's life line.
Henry opened his front door, letting Elizabeth walk in front of him while he grabbed her bags. She hadn't brought much--just one small suitcase and an even smaller carry-on.
"This is my house." Henry stated once he was inside and had shut the door. He put Elizabeth's bags at the foot of the stairs. "There's a guest bedroom upstairs."
She nodded. "Cool deal." She looked around the living room of the Hart house and whistled appreciatively. "Nice digs you got here."
"Thanks," Henry noticed she was rubbing her hands up and down her arms. "Hey, do you want a towel or a dry shirt or something?"
Elizabeth felt goosebumps break out over her exposed legs and arms. "Yes, please," she urged.
"Alright, I'll go get that." He looked into the kitchen where Piper was sitting at the table on her phone. He was wary of introducing Elizabeth to his little sister, but he also knew it would be rude not to. "That's my little sister Piper, if you want to go talk to her." He started to go up the stairs, but he turned back to his guest. "Be careful, though. Her bark is just as bad as her bite."
"Oh?" Elizabeth inquired, turning to look at the little girl too absorbed in her phone to notice that a stranger had even walked into her house. "I'm sure I'll be just fine."
Henry wasn't so sure, but he admired her confidence and left to change and get her a towel.
Elizabeth looked around the house again, admiring how homey it all felt. She was cold from being wet, but the Hart house seemed to have a warm glow to it that made that cold not so bad. She liked it.
She made her way into the kitchen, stopping near where Piper was sitting.
"Hey," she said.
Piper, hearing a voice she didn't recognize, jumped suddenly and turned to see who was currently in her house.
She sized the wet girl up. "Who are you?"
Elizabeth took Piper's tone into account with the warning Henry had given her. "I'm Elizabeth, Jasper's cousin." She held a hand out. "You can call me Liz, though."
Piper looked at her hand but didn't extend one in return. "I'm Piper, but you can call me Piper." She went back to her phone.
Liz smiled, liking this little girl's spunk.
She looked over the papers and books laid out in front of Piper. "What're you doing?"
Piper didn't even look up from her phone. "Homework," she snapped.
Liz ignored Piper's attitude. She held back a retort about how it looked to her more like Piper was avoiding it rather than doing it. "What kind of homework?"
Piper gripped her phone a little tighter. She didn't like all these questions--especially by some girl she had just met. Piper didn't even know what this "Liz" was doing in her house, dripping water all over the floor.
She set her phone down, narrowing her eyes at the stranger. "What exactly are you doing in my house?"
Liz was once again unmoved by Piper's brashness (this infuriated Piper who was so used to being feared). "Henry and your parents are letting me stay here while I'm in town visiting Jasper and my Aunt and Uncle."
Piper was hacked off no one had asked her if she was okay with a house guest--especially one related to Jasper--but she let it slide. "Why don't you just stay at Jasper's then?"
Liz picked up one of Piper's papers and studied it. "My cousin's parents are...strange, for lack of a better word. They don't allow guests. Your brother's probably never even been to Jasper's house before." She grabbed a few more of Piper's homework papers. "Do you want help with this?"
Piper was fuming over the fact that she now had no way to easily get rid of this girl, but Liz's offer to help her with her homework derailed her.
"What?" She asked.
Liz held the papers out to Piper. "Do you want help with your physics homework?"
Piper raised an eyebrow. "How do you know physics? My brother isn't even taking physics."
Liz smirked. "I think the better question is how do you know physics?" She grabbed the textbook and looked to Piper with her eyebrows raised. "So, are we doing this or what?"
Piper narrowed her eyes at Liz but accepted her offer of help anyway. Maybe this "Liz" wasn't so bad.
They had finished over half of Piper's physics homework--which she had stopped doing because she didn't understand it and had no one to help her--when the watch on Liz's left wrist beeped.
Piper cocked her head to the side. "My brother has a watch that beeps just like that."
Liz looked down to her watch and quickly smacked a hand over it, hoping to block the noise. She smiled to cover the strange reaction. "I have to make a phone call. Is there anywhere I can go for privacy?"
Piper thought she was acting strange all of a sudden--and that it was weird that someone else had a watch like Henry's--but she pointed to the front door. "My brother makes all his phone calls on the front porch."
Liz nodded, easily composing herself. "Then I'll go on the back porch."
"But it's raining," Piper pointed out.
"Can't get any more wet than I already am." Liz shrugged and got up from her seat to walk out to the back porch.
Piper thought this girl was definitely strange, but she had helped her with her homework when no one else could, and for that she was grateful.
Liz walked away from the windows and checked to make sure no one was around to see or hear her before she pressed a button on the side of her watch.
A life-size hologram of a man dressed in a freshly pressed black suit projected out of her watch and onto the ground in front of her. Liz straightened her posture as she addressed the man.
"Sir," she greeted.
The man had no expression. "You're late." He stated.
Liz cringed ever so slightly. "I know, and I apologize. There were...complications upon my arrival."
The man quirked one eyebrow--the only movement on his face besides his mouth. "Complications? I hope nothing went wrong." When he said hoped, what he really meant was that there better not have been anything wrong.
"No, sir," Liz quickly assured. She wouldn't let her boss believe she was incompetent. "Everything is fine. I just arrived at my host family's house."
The man nodded, "And what of the two superheroes?"
"To be determined." She answered. She knew he was looking for more information, but she had none to give. Closer inspection would be needed. "I could only see so much of the video feed while waiting at the airport."
"Then I expect you'll continue with the task entrusted to you." He paused to let the warning in his voice take effect. "Big things are ahead. All players must be in place."
"Yes, sir. I understand." She held her hand up to salute him one more time. "Dunlop out."
With a nod, the hologram of the man in the suit folded up and disappeared back into Liz' watch.
Once her boss was gone, Liz visibly relaxed. She even let her shoulders sag. She was tired from her long flight from California, and meetings with the boss always sucked whatever energy she had right up.
She only just realized she was standing in the rain.
She straightened her soaked clothes up, plastered on a fake smile, and prepared to walk back into civilian life, all the while thinking of those two superheroes whose roles in the near future would be crucial.

Henry expected to come downstairs and have to pull Piper off of Liz, but when he made it to the kitchen, he found Piper alone at the table.
"What did you do to her?" He asked immediately, expecting Piper to say she scared the girl all the way back to wherever she had come from.
Piper looked away from her phone and to her brother with a furrowed brow. "Who?"
"Elizabeth, Jasper's cousin." Henry groaned loudly. Piper had definitely chased her away. Now what would he tell Jasper? As if he needed another thing to worry about. He looked around the house and found that her bags were still there.
Oh God, did Piper kill her?
"It's Liz."
Henry snapped his attention back to Piper. "What?"
Piper sighed and set her phone down. "Her name is Elizabeth, but you can call her Liz." She held up her completed homework. "And she helped me with my homework."
Henry didn't know what to say. Did Piper actually like someone? Someone related to Jasper, of all people?
"So, you like her?" Henry hesitated, not believing it be true.
Piper shrugged. "I don't know about like. I've only known her for five minutes." She collected her homework and got up from the table. "She's not entirely horrible."
Henry smiled, and it felt like a huge weight being lifted off his shoulders. Finally, something had gone right today.
"You have no idea what that means to me." He breathed. Piper gave him a weird look, not understanding the emotional turmoil Henry had experienced. Henry, the smile still on his face, looked around the kitchen. "Where is Elizabeth--I mean Liz?"
Piper pointed to the back porch. "She had to make a phone call."
Henry looked out the window and saw it was still raining. "On the back porch? In the rain? Why?"
"I don't know, Henry. Why do you make your calls on the front porch?"
"Touche," Henry conceded, though Piper didn't know he went on the front porch for privacy to keep his secret identity just that. Why Liz went on the back porch was strange to him, but he also knew it wasn't his business.
Piper had all her stuff collected in her arms and was on her way upstairs when she stopped. "She has a funny watch like yours, though."
"What?"
"Her watch," Piper explained. "It beeps like yours." She turned and continued up the stairs.
Henry thought that was definitely strange, but he was not going to let himself look too far into it. He wasn't going to ruin the one thing that had gone right today. He wasn't going to go looking for problems where there wasn't one.
Liz walked into the house then, more wet than before, but with a wide smile on her face. "Sorry about ducking out for a minute there." She apologized. "I had to call my mom and let her know I made it in okay." She looked at her wet clothes. "Well, mostly okay."
Henry laughed, running a hand through his own wet hair. "Sorry again for that. You wouldn't believe the day I had at work." He sighed, glad that the Liz situation had worked out, in the very least.
"Tell me about it." Liz muttered. "Are those for me?" She pointed to towel and clothes in Henry's hand.
Henry looked down at the stuff in his hands. "Oh, yeah. I got you a towel and one of my old hoodies." She raised her eyebrows at the hoodie. Henry laughed uneasily. "No, I don't mean--I just figured you had your own clothes, but maybe you were cold. If you don't want it, I'll under--"
"It's great, really." Liz smiled, accepting the hoodie. "Thank you, not just for this--" She lifted the towel and hoodie. "Thank you for letting me stay at your house. It means a lot to me to be able to see Jasper."
Henry shook his head. "It's no big deal, honest. My mom loves having people to take care of." He thought of Jasper. "You should probably call Jasper though. He was pretty mad at me for leaving you in the rain."
Liz nodded. "Yeah, I'll do that--but dry clothes first."
Henry smiled. "The guest bedroom is up the stairs, first door on the right. The bathroom is right across the hall."
She smiled and left him to go up the stairs.
Henry watched her go thinking that Jasper was right; she was pretty. Of course, that's as far as Henry let that thought go. Her arrival had been the most uncomplicated thing he had faced today; he was not going to muck that up by trying to start some pointless relationship that would only last the length of spring break. He could handle being her friend, nothing more.
And Henry had a feeling she was going to be a great friend to have.
Liz walked up the stairs thinking about how sweet Henry was. Cute too--not that she was interested. She wasn't one to go trying to date anyone she even remotely found attractive. She was content having attractive people as just friends. Nothing wrong with that--except she wasn't here to make friends. She was here to make sure everything went according to plan.
She pulled her phone out of her pocket, thinking her boss could deal with her making some time for her favorite cousin.

☀️- Soon enough, he’s dragged by you and thrown into the water before he even knows it. He might as well let you do want you want and play in the water for a bit.
☀️- yeah he throws sand at you
☀️- He’d be hyping himself up for volleyball, saying how he’s super awesome and good at it, but once you actually get him to play, he can’t even hit the ball.
☀️- If he gets bored and your doing whatever, he’ll find some pretty seashells so that he can give them to you once your back. He makes sure to find the perfect ones.
