Jose shows back up to the agency covered in blood. "The boss will be at the storage yard on thirtieth, tomorrow at 10 pm." Jose walked over to the fridge and pulled out an orange soda.

Sophie sits up. "OH MY GOD! Are you ok? Where have you been? Is that blood?" She takes his hand and takes him to the bathroom.

"I'm ok, we need to tell the others. So they can start to make a plan." Jose stands as Sophie turns the sink on and grabs a washcloth and tries to wipe the blood from his face.

"What did you do? Who's blood is this?" Sophie frantically wipes the blood and she is looking for cuts.

"Some people that worked for the boss. You wanted revenge for Blackmist, I'm giving you the chance.'' Jose was letting her wipe the blood from his hands and he began to blush.

"You overheard me and my brother didn't you?" Sophie stopped to stare into his eyes, shocked.

"Only a little, by accident. Are you mad?'' Jose looked away ashamed.

Sophie smiled. "No, of course not, you remind me of Andrew. He was always listening in on me and mom talking." Sophie's smile quickly faded. "But did you hurt them because of me, because of what I said?" Sophie had a puzzled look on her face. She didn't know if this was her fault. She slowly continued to wipe Jose's face.

Jose looks away. "We are a team right?"

Sophie smiles at him. "Yea but we are heroes, we don't operate like this."

"You were saying we can't watch as people get hurt. So I acted before people got hurt." Jose walked over to the shower and grabbed a towel and began to wipe off.

"Yea but you hurt others." Sophie looked at the washcloth covered in blood. "There was a saying that a great hero once said. Every time people try to end a war before it starts, innocent people get hurt."

Jose looked away.

"You did only hurt them right?" Sophie had a scared expression on her face.

"Hey what's going on, is everything ok?" Andrew knocked on the bathroom door.

"Yea, you can come in, Jose went out and hunted down the boss. He came back covered in blood. So I was helping out to make sure he wasn't hurt." Sophie began to wash out the washcloth.

"Did you find out where the boss is?" Andrew asked, looking intrigued.

"What does that matter? He may have killed someone!" Sophie threw down the washcloth in the sink. It hit the water and splashed bloody water out of the sink.

"If it saves someone, what does it matter? Like you said, we can't sit back and do nothing!" Jose started to get upset and stormed out of the bathroom.

"I will talk to Tacoman and find out a game plan." Andrew walked off.

Sophie picked up the towels. "Now they care about saving people." Sophie talked to herself as she angrily cleaned the blood off the floor.

Everyone gathers around the table. "Ok Jose found out where the boss will be. So we need a plan. We need to stop the boss tomorrow at the shipment yard." Tacoman has a picture of the shipping yard on the whiteboard. "What happened to you two?" Tacoman looked in shock at Steven and Ronnie, their faces swollen and bruised.

"We were training." Ronnie says his eye is swollen shut.

"Will you be ok for the operation tomorrow ?" Tacoman asked, looking concerned.

"Yea, it looks worse than it is." Steven has ice packs taped to his head.

"Ok good, well I have a plan I will tell you when we get there tomorrow." Tacoman started to roll up the map of the shipping yard.

"No, we need to know the plan and think it over. No more of your half-baked plans." Andrew snatched the map out of Tacoman's hands.

"Ok, so my plan is we send the van in with a brick on the gas pedal for a destruction while we are on top of the shipping containers and we jump down and attack the boss and capture him. After we beat the boss our hero rank will go up and we will get the hero grant."

"Ok so your plan is bad, I don't know how but it is even worse than your past plans." Andrew said, looking aggravated.

"Well, I know Steven loves my plan right?" Tacoman said while smiling at Steven.

"Well actually, no I think your plan is bad." Steven said begrudgingly.

"What is happening? You all used to listen to me. What's wrong with you all?" Tacoman leans his head back then quickly snaps it back facing his team his face turns to horror and shock. looking them over, thinking to himself. I know what this is, the same thing that got Shinji got them. The pod people are back. I thought I finished them off but it looks like their back. I wonder if I should get the old team together? They will take over if we don't stop them! I must find out if my theory is correct.

"What's wrong, Tacoman? You look like you have seen a ghost." Sophie asked, looking concerned.

Tacoman stands up and stumbles to the bathroom, keeping an eye on his team. "Yea I'm fine I just have to you's the little boy's room." Tacoman slammed the door and held it shut with his body. "What are they? I need to get a sample, to find out what they are." He opens the medicine cabinet and rummages around. "What the hell are these things?" Tacoman is holding feminine products. "These must be special pod people supplies." Tacoman quickly pulled out a lighter. "I won't let the pod people get the best of me, not again." He lights the feminine products on fire and starts to tear up. "Not again."

Knock knock knock. "Tacoman are you ok?" Sophie asked.

"Yea everything is fine!" Tacoman quickly grabs the Q tips and opens the door.

"What did you do in there?" Sophie looks in shock at everything on the floor and there is something in the sink on fire.

"I had to go. You know. How it goes." As Tacoman walks past Sophie, he keeps his hands behind his back trying to hide the Q Tips.

"We came up with a plan, we are doing your plan but we just changed a few things." Andrew looked excited.

Tacoman walks over and sits down at the table and reaches under the table and grabs a gun that was taped under the table.

"Yea we will still be posted on top of the cargo containers. But instead of our van, we do an eighteen-wheeler, to cut off the villains into two groups then we divide and conquer. Ronnie will drive that way, we will have control over the truck and he should be fine." Andrew explained the plan and was impressed by their idea.

Tacoman lets go of the gun. "I love this idea! We can steal a truck!"

Sophie sat back down at the table. "No. we will buy the truck. Also, I put the fire out."

"Buy the truck?" Tacoman grabs the gun again.

"What if we have a company sponsor us? We could have a product on the side of the truck. that way when it is on the news they get free advertisement." Ronnie pointed out.

"Yea, great idea. We could get paid a lot!" Sophie said excitedly.

"What, is that legal?" Andrew asked.

"Yea, heroes do it all the time. They get paid a lot and companies love it they get good PR by helping heroes." Sophie pointed out.

Tacoman lets go of the gun. "Yeah, sounds like fun. I will make a call." Tacoman stands up and walks off looking over his shoulder.
