Captain Man x Reader | Henry Danger Reader Insert: SEASON 3

Episode 9: Double Date Danger

~In the Man Cave~

Well, Miss Shapen sure knew how to pull numbers on people. Because she was a crazy cat-lady and just an all-round weirdo, Henry's teacher had badgered him into letting her attractive niece, Noelle stay at his house because the girl was allergic to cats (of which Miss Shapen had many) and nuts. This all would've been fine normally, Henry was perfectly happy to have a pretty girl stay in his house, where he'd be free to woo her, but Jasper wanted in on the deal. He didn't see why it was fair for his best friend to have all the ladies and for him to be left as a sad, lonely loser.

Of course, the best friends rarely fell out, they had been through so much together, but if there's one thing that can get teenage boys to argue, it's a girl; one they both want, but both can't have and as such, Henry and Jasper had been arguing from the left moment they left school and arrived at the Man Cave.

"You know I'm right," Jasper whined at Henry as they and Charlotte stepped out of the elevator. The poor girl had been in the middle of the bickering for way too long and just wanted to sip her soda in peace. The boys were so loud and rambunctious, it drew the attention of the Man Cave's resident love birds, who were more than happy to talk about all the mushy stuff of relationships.

"Yeah, I know you're annoying me." Henry snapped back as the kids dumped their bags around the place and (y/n) nudged Ray when she picked up on the new tension in their home.

"Come on, you pushed my last girlfriend out of a window." Jasper recounted, the memory of Henry shoving Courtney the nutter through Charlotte's bedroom window because she nearly killed them all.

"Only because she was chasing Charlotte and (y/n) with a power tool!" Henry defended himself, not seeing why Jasper was still hung up about that psychopath. She was hardly a girlfriend, more like a jealous, rampaging lunatic who nearly committed mass murder.

"They're fighting, sort it out." (y/n) whispered to Ray and gently pushed him in the direction of the quarrelling boys. She was backup, but Ray was the boss so it made more sense that he stepped in first.

"All right, all right...What's this back-n-forth banter about?" The superhero asked the boys as he and his girlfriend sauntered up to them, her wrapping her arms around his waist as he looked between both his sidekick and shop assistant.

"Okay, when two guys are buddies, like the same girl, which guy gets her?" Jasper asked his boss, thinking that he was a guy too, he had guy problems, surely he'd be able to help them. He had a girlfriend, plus lots of other experience they wouldn't mention, he could probably write a self-help book.

"Yeah, which guy gets her?" Henry added, looking at Ray with the same eagerness, but neither girl in the room was particularly happy about their word choice.

"Hang on a minute, "gets her"? That's a bit medieval, don't you think?" (y/n) butted in, not liking how they were essentially designating women as property claimed by men. That was some prehistoric bullshit; sure, she liked it when Ray provided for her and protected her, it was her cavewoman DNA speaking, but that didn't mean she belonged to him. Not in that sense.

"Oh, I think they mean, like, which guy obtains her." Ray clarified, thinking that a synonym would make things clearer, but it just resulted in (y/n) and Charlotte shaking their heads.

"Yeah, like gets to have her," Jasper added, seeing nothing wrong with how they were speaking. and it seemed like Henry was on their wavelength.

"Mmm-hmmm, for his own." He nodded, making the girls frown. Had they gone back in time thirty years?

"You guys! Miss Shapen's niece is a person. She's not yours to get or have. She's not the last half of the sandwich." Charlotte explained in terms they'd understand, but it still didn't go in. Obviously, Henry and Jasper had skipped the class on gender equality.
