Call this the best week of (y/n)'s life.

Lately, things hadn't been particularly eventful for her, her doofus or their little chaotic family. Well, apart from the few rescues and arrests they did every night as part of their secret superhero lives, nothing noteworthy had happened, not since that debacle at Cactus Con.

Yeah, no one had yet worked out what that was about. Seriously, as much as (y/n)'s inner worrier was itching to work out who cracked their system and stole the world's most poisonous cactus, try as she and Schwoz might, every lead they got turned out to be a dead end. No clues, no hints, no traces. So, like most problems in life, the further their case grew cold, the further it was pushed onto the back burner and out of their minds. One month later and it was still a mystery but one left for a rainy day when they didn't have so much on their plates.

Dogs. That's what they had on their plates. Not in a weird, disturbing way; rather, there had been some weird charity thing that no one understood but since it was for charity, no one questioned it anyway. And this charity thing happened to involve dogs, much to (y/n)'s delight since she'd had to trade her chance at having one in the Man Cave with a rabbit, jigsaw puzzles and Piper's number one enemy, Jana Tetrazzini. A week-long awareness campaign for dogs. At least it sounded nice, even if the girl was stomping up Anger Avenue every time she heard that name.

Honestly, it was a bit strange since the money raised for doing the world's biggest puzzle was meant to help the dogs or something, which was weird but Miss Danger and Captain Man weren't complaining as they posed for pictures with the generous winner and her stupidly rich boyfriend. It wasn't exactly the kind of afternoon that they liked as there was way too much boot licking and pandering to that snotty-nosed brat for the heroes' liking but they got to cuddle puppies, so who could argue with that? Certainly not Ray as he watched his sweet girl fawn over an especially darling little Shih Tzu doggie, who he had to admit had stolen his heart too.

That was what they wanted to focus on, even though more pressing matters were at hand. It was all well and good to stick their heads in the sand and while away the day attending red carpet occasions and pretending like there was nothing to worry about, but there was. Rather alarmingly, there had been a recent video doing rounds on the internet, and it wasn't the kind that got clicks for the right reasons. It wasn't a cat video or a clip of a guy falling off his skateboard like a dweeb. No, it was a touch more serious than that.

Rick Twitler had been kidnapped. Shocker. Seriously, the guy was a billionaire, genius, inventor, tech-mogul CEO man, you'd think it'd be hard to take him and not have anyone on his security team realise but that was what had happened. He went missing and then a few hours later, a video of him looking dishevelled and panicked in his maroon suit appeared on the net, the kind where the celeb grovels for help and mercy from their captors. It was exactly the kind of thing that Captain Man, Miss Danger and Kid Danger should be worried about because when a guy has a hand slapped over his mouth before he can speak with a yellow glove with a strangely familiar logo on it, it's clear that things are serious. However...

"You hear that loud, buzzing sound in the background? I isolated it and ran through the Man Cave computers and— " Charlotte asked before being cut off as she analysed the clip in the Man Cave, intent on making some progress as to the whereabouts of Rick Twitler so she could send the resident heroes off on a rescue mission.

And it would be nice to have some help from her fellow smart people, y'know mainly Schwoz and (y/n), the ones who knew how to do things right and presented helpful ideas to the small details that were assuredly on the screen. If only she had a few sets of extra eyes to help her see them.

"Aw, you are the cutest doggo I ever did see, you know that, sweetheart? Did you? Aw, you are my baby!" The girl was cut off by an annoyingly high-pitched squeal that came from none other than (y/n) as she cradled one of the dogs from the puzzle-Tetrazzini-dog thing—the only one that had caught her and Ray's hearts enough to bring her back to the Man Cave.
