Good Bye, Good Riddance? |Henry Danger|

89

Tess

"And I used to be Kid Danger." Now Swellview is down a superhero. Hen presses the button and the elevator door opens. 

"Oh -- and Ray?"

"What?"

"I'm taller than you." The door closes. I better go after him. 

"Sir? Can I get a ride home?" I grab my tube of gum and pop a gumball. I put it back into my pocket and head to the elevator.

"Tessa..." 

"I'm not quitting, just going after my friend." I press the button and the elevator door opens a few seconds later. I get in. 

"I'll see you later." I press the button to go up and the door closes. I blow and change back as the elevator goes up. Once the door opens on the main floor, I run out. 

"Henry?" No answer. I run into the main shop.

"Henry?" He must have already left. I run to the door and walk out. 

"Henry!?" I look both ways and catch Hen in the distance. 

"Henry!" I run after him. Dear God, what have I have gotten myself into?

The Hart House

I walk into Hen's house with Hen who didn't talk to me during the whole walk over here. 

"There, there, there...There you are, young man. Teresa." Looks like they know. 

"Honestly, mom, I'm not in the mood right now! I just go in a huge fight with my boss and don't even know--"

"My son is a failure!" Oh, you're dead. 

"Okay, that's a little harsh."

"Your father and I were snooping in your room and we found your letters." Why were they even snooping in Hen's room to begin with?

"What letters?" What do you think, dumbass? Mrs. Hart grabs one of the letters from Mr. Hart and shows it to Hen. 

"You're not graduating from high school?!" Well, as of earlier today, he will be. Not quite sure how to explain that to them though. 

"Ohhhh, those letters."

"My son is a failure!"

"Okay, listen..."

"How are you failing all of your classes?! What have you been doing with your life?!" How is Hen going to explain all of that?

"I'll tell you! Nothing!"

"Well, actually..."

"He's been doing nothing! Because he's a failure!"

"You want to know what I've been doing with my life, dad?!" Hen, don't!

"I'll tell you what I've been doing!"

"Hen, don't!" 

"Saving this town! That's right -- I'm Kid Danger!" A six-year-old secret now out to Mr. and Mrs. Hart. Mr. and Mrs. Hart gasp. 

"So our son's a liar now, too." And they're idiots. How the hell did they not recognize their own flesh and blood in costume? 

"What? Why would I lie?" 

"Well...."

"Tess, not now! I'm not lying."

"Stop it, Henry." 

"I really am Kid Danger! Here, I'll prove it to you." And now Hen has remembered what he did before we came here. 

"Okay, look I don't have my gum balls because I just quit." I thought he had backups. Aren't they stored around here somewhere?
