We begin yet again inside Hank's dope apartment.  Fei is sitting on his couch, as he is working hard in the kitchen.  "Tea will be ready in the next five minutes Fei,"  Hank said.  Fei gives him a silent, yet positive thumbs up.  Hank gets concerned for his friend.  "Geez.  First the ninjas, now this dude.  Why can't heroes catch a break?" Hank asked.  After he is done stirring the tea, he brings it over for Fei to drink.  "Here, this should help adjust your little headache,"  Hank said.  "Thanks.  [drinks tea].  Ummm.  Ok, that's good tea."  Fei replied.   "You asked for the tea, and I bring the tea.  So, what's the tea?"  Hank asked.  "The one I'm drinking?"  Fei asked back confused.  "No.  Is there any news going on in your life?  Aside from you know.  Your headache."  Hank replied.  "Oh, right.  Nothing much.  Just getting used to this place that's all.  I'm trying to find a new job I swear.  It's just too hard these days considering how fast people can work than me."  Fei said.  "Don't say that.  You are an everyday hero, I mean, a hard worker.  You are determined, strong, disciplined, and confident.  Fei, you are the best person I know by a long shot."  Hank replied.  "Am I?"  Fei asked.  "Why would I lie to you?"  Hank asked back.  "Well, thank you.  [drinks tea].  So what was the part where you said I was an everyday hero?  What does that mean?"  Fei asked.  "Well... [deep breath].  Ok, I think it's time.  Fei, we have been friends for only a few weeks, but at the same time, I've grown to see you as someone I trust entirely.  Someone I care for, want to keep safe, etc.  You are my best friend, and I... I don't want to hurt you.  You deserve to know.  Fei, I know you are..."  Hank replied before he was interrupted.  Fei is at the window seeing Firefly cause havoc in the sky.  "What's wrong?"  Hank asked.  "Nothing.  I just need to... sorry.  I forgot I ordered food outside.  No offense bro.  Give me a second.  Be back in a minute."  Fei replied as she ran out of Hank's place.  Hank sighs as he sees her run away.  "She needs to work on her excuses,"  Hank said.

Outside, Firefly continues to cause havoc as he laughs like a madman.  Spraying fire all over the place.  He even catches various people on fire from his powers.  "Hey!  [Ladydragon flies to Firefly in eagle form].  Long time no see us, boy."  Ladydragon said.  "Well, well, well.  Nice to see you again, Ladydragon.  See you are an eagle today."  Firefly replied.  "Uhh, duh,"  Ladydragon said.  "Well great.  I was in the mood for chicken tonight.  This one with an extra miraculous taste."  Firefly replied.  He aims, and fires his flamethrowers, as Ladydragon dodges them.  This time, her fear goes into a full drive the second the flames make a little contact with her.  That distraction gives Firefly the chance to fly in, and sucker punch her in the face.  He fires up his shurikens and throws them at Ladydragon.  She grabs the weapon with her talons and throws it back to Firefly, who grabs it back.  "Amateur.  So, amateur."  Firefly said.  He then rocket blasts his way to Ladydragon, who dodges him, but Firefly grabs her by the wing and throws her to the floor.  He then flies down and shoots more flames at her.  She swiftly dodges the attack.  "Hou!"  Ladydragon said as she turned into a monkey.  As Firefly lands, Ladydragon jumps up and starts smacking his face.  He grabs her by the tail and throws her again into some crates.  He then rocket blasts his way in front of her, and fires right at her body.  Torching her body hard.  Soon, Ladydragon is on fire, and her only source of water is a fish tank.  So she jumps into it to stop the flames.  As she re-emerges to get some fire, Firefly runs up to her and jumps into the fish tank.  Shattering it, and sending Ladydragon flying into another wall.  She falls to the ground nearly dead.  "There.  Is that enough?"  Firefly asked.  "You did well.  Return to base."  Essence replied.  Firefly obeys, as he flies away from this mess.  Leaving Ladydrgaon to rot on the floor. 

Back with Hank.  He is sitting on his couch waiting for Fei.  Fei finally comes home, after she opens the door, and nearly falls to her knees in pain.  "Where's the food?"  Hank asked.  "Oh!  Umm, they forgot it, so they gave me a refund."  Fei replied.  "And that took the minutes to do?"  Hank asked.  "It's been ten minutes?  I mean, I got angry, so we had a little fight.  A little big one."  Fei replied.  "Right.  Normally, I would go soft, but honestly, I had enough.  [gets up].  Fei, I know your Ladydragon.  Don't freak out, but it was pretty obvious."  Hank said with no holding back.  Fei immediately goes into shock.  "I'm sorry.  WHAT?!   You, know?"  Fei asked in horror.
