- Okay gals! We need to find villains' hideout, that's where they probably are keeping my son - Shaden said to his fellows.
- Why didn't you go to the meeting with Nightmare Plague? You would have retrieved your son and we wouldn't be here now - superhero Switcher noticed.
- I'm sure that wicked villain had set some trap. Otherwise, why would he want to meet one-on-one? - hero replied.
- Sinner Force is just a gang of kiddos who like to rob and cause small ruckus. They have no intention to actually hurt anybody - Mister W said.
- How would you know that?! - other hero, called Electric Wasp asked.
- Uhmm hello? Memory Access, does that ring a bell? - superhero answered.
- Ah of course! The most useless power in the world, which apparently is failing too! - Shaden smirked at the hero. Mister W kept silent.
- Anyways boys - Shaden turned to the rest of the group - We need to locate them as fast as possible, who knows what those monsters will do to my son? - he cried out. Heroes murmured sadly.
- We should do it with an old, proven way: If we were villains, where would we have our hideout? - hero Dragonloom suggested.
All of heroes (except for Mister W who simply rolled his eyes) agreed it was a wonderful idea and they proceed to think.
Their hard work was interrupted by knocking on the door and shout: "Pizza delivery!".
Shaden got up from the table and walked up to the front door. He opened them and saw the pizza guy with their order.
- It will be 50 dollars sir! - man said. Shaden pulled wallet out of his pocket and having grabbed the banknote shoved it in pizza guy's hand and took the boxes from him. Man frowned.
- And tip? - he asked.
- What about it? - Shaden asked nonchalantly.
- Come on, are you really so cheap that you regret one dollar for a guy who drove your pizza through the city, which could easily be picked up by yourself? - man couldn't believe this guy.
- You should be grateful that you got the privilege to deliver pizza to the best heroes in the city. Now go, I'm sure you still have a lot of deliveries to do - hero replied and just as he was about to go back to the table, he heard pizza guy's mumbling:
- Supposedly the villains are the bad guys, but at least they give me a big tip.
Pizza boxes slid from Shaden's hands. He pounced at the man and having pulled him inside, pinned him down.
- You deliver pizza to villains too? So you must know where they have their hideout, right? - he asked. Pizza guy gulped, but said:
- Yes I do, but what makes you think that I'll spill the beans?
- Do you know what can be the consequences of cooperating with the villains? - Shaden asked pizza guy.
- I'm not cooperating with them, I just deliver pizza to them - man replied.
- Well, we can convince police the otherwise - hero warned.
- Try all you want, I won't tell you! - pizza guy snarled.
- Then we'll have to bring out the big guns. I'm sure you have a family, right? - Shaden smiled devilishly. Man raised his eyebrow.
- What this has to do with them? - he asked.
- It would be a pity if something happened to them... Or you - hero said. Pizza guy turned pale.
- You wouldn't dare! You're heroes, it's scandalous of you to even think about it! - he growled.
