Ben's POV:
After agreeing to be some character in a show, Alex gave me Gravity-Pants' number, which I utilized to set up a meeting on a rooftop.
He showed up in civilian clothes.
Issac: What's this about?
Ben: I'm here to make a deal...
Issac: Okay...?
I hold up the hard drive I stole from Mr. Niceguy.
Ben: This should have the evidence you need to put the mayor away.
Issac:?
Ben: I'll give it to you if you do me a favor...
Issac:....
Ben: I want you to ask out my neighbor.
Issac:... What?
Ben: You heard me.
Issac: Okay... Hold on. I'm confused. You have something to put away a corrupt politician...
Issac: Something more useful in your hands than mine.
Issac: And you're using it to bargain a date for your neighbor?
Ben:...
Ben: When you put it like that, it sounds kinda weird...
Issac: Yeah.... Can I have more context?
Ben: So basically my neighbor is this superpowered criminal, who's threatening to kill me and Alex daily if we reveal who she is.
Issac: What?
Ben: No, no. Don't worry. It's adorable. But annoying. So I thought if you dated her I could kill two birds with one stone...
Issac: So you got the info on the Mayor to make me help you?
Ben: Yeah.
Issac: You didn't have to go that far for my help. You could have just asked...
Ben:.... Huh...
Issac:(sigh)... What does it matter? The mayor is getting put away soon.
Ben: Exactly! So let's celebrate with dinner! I've got the perfect date for you.
Issac:.... Alex is rubbing off on you.
Well, we've been doing a lot of "rubbing" recently....
Issac: Just to be clear... Do you want me to... What? Seduce her?
Ben: Preferably so.
Issac:(heavy sigh)... Okay. Anything to get the mayor out of office.
(Opening Theme)
I get home and find my lovely lady practicing her lines for some roll. I'm in a particularly good mood, as I have all the pieces I need to never worry about super-ex again.
I've already revealed the Mayor's sins, so yeah. Things are looking up for Ben!
Alex: Hey, I heard the news-
Ben: Yeah. Yeah. Alex, what are your thoughts on having dinner with our neighbor?
Alex: Uhm, sure. But-
Ben: I was also thinking of inviting someone, to... You know... "Get her interest".
Alex: Okay! But about-
