It was a beautiful morning in Swellview. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and Henry was tucked up in bed snoozing. It was almost seven AM and in three minutes, he would have to get up and get ready for school, but it seemed like his services were needed elsewhere.

The beeping and flashing of Henry's whiz watch made him awaken with a start, his blurry, sleep-filled eyes looking around his room as he sat up. He flicked open the watch and frowned as Ray's little hologram floated above his wrist.

"Good morning to you, good morning to you, welcome to Wednesday, your face looks like poo!" The man sang to his sidekick, who looked both confused and irritated by the early wake-up call.

"Ray, it's...6:57 in the morning." Henry groaned.

"So? You wake up at seven." His boss shrugged, thinking it was no big deal.

"I had three minutes left. You killed three minutes of my sleep joy." He whined as (y/n) came into the hologram.

"He's a teenager, he loves sleeping, doofus!" The young woman smiled, still dressed in her pyjamas.

"Well, you know we have a good reason." Ray rolled his eyes at his best friend.

"True, true. Henry, who's one of the worst people in Swellview?" (y/n) asked the boy, wrapping her arms around herself as she hopped from one foot to the other since the Man Cave's floor was bitterly cold on her bare feet.

"Ray," Henry grumbled, making the woman laugh as Ray frowned. He saw how cold she was, so he put an arm around her and pulled her to his warm chest. Her icy fingers slid around his waist as she let her personal heater warm her up.

"Henry, we're this close to catching the Time Jerker," Ray told his sidekick, ignoring how (y/n)'s chilly hands made his hair stand on end.

"No way! You guys figured out where he is?" Henry grinned, ecstatic that they were on the verge of capturing one of their biggest enemies.

"No! I just wanted to tell ya that I might need you later if we get a fix on the Time Jerker's location." The superhero explained, confusing Henry.

"So, you beeped me now to tell me you might beep me later?" The boy queried in an annoyed tone.

"Yes. And I also wanted to tell you about the full moon." Ray said, letting go of (y/n), who looked puzzled.

"What full moon?" She asked.

"This one!" Ray giggled as he tried to show his butt to Henry. Such a child.

"RAYMOND!" She yelled in terror as she ran away to her room. If she had an eyeful of that, her lovesick mind would never recover and she'd be plagued by filthy dreams for weeks to come. Henry closed his watch before he could see anything too, flopping back down on his bed to see if he could salvage one more minute of sleep.

"Henry." His mom came bursting into his room, shattering the morning's peace yet again.

"Yeah, Mom?" The kid groaned.

"Can you look out your window and see if that hornet's nest is back?" She asked.

"Why? Dad got rid of that hornet's nest last weekend." Henry pointed out, his eyes feeling very heavy.

"Well, what if they came back?" Mrs Hart quipped, not wanting to argue with her son about this.

"I'm sure they're not gonna--" He sighed, but Mrs Hart was not budging.

"Go look out the window!" She told him sternly, closing the door on her way out. Flopping his head on his pillow, Henry got out of bed in a stroppy mood before climbing up to his window. He opened it and stuck his outside, looking up into the tree and to see that the hornets were certainly back and they were swarming at him. Letting out a terrified scream, he began to swat at the angry insects as they stung his face and hands.
