Jason was in his basement, working on a new helmet. George and Susan were down there with him, working on their own stuff.

“Hey, Jason?” George said.

“Yeah?”

“What's with the circles on the side of the mouth?” He asked about the helmet.

“What?”

“Those circles. Why add them?”

“Well, I wanted to make a different helmet. And I kind of like the Ultron vibe that comes with this.”

“I think it looks cool.” Susan said.

“Thank you.” Jason responded.

“Hey, I didn't say I didn't like it. I was just curious.” George said, putting his hands up.

“Well, I do have other designs if you want to look at them. But I do need to make another arcade machine.”

“Really, another?” George asked.

“Yeah. You do realize there's a lot less stuff involved with arcades than there was 50 years ago.” Jason added.

“True.”

“But do you think you can help me with it, George? I know you're good at coding?”

“Sure.”

“With this new one, I'm thinking of one of those arcade tables. One you have to sit at, the controls are under the table. You know what I'm talking about?”

“I believe so.”

“Boys, you two are always talking about video games.” Susan laughed.

“Yes, and I have another design for a storage container.”

“Oh? What's that?”

Both Susan and George walked over to Jason's workbench. Jason walked over to his fire extinguisher, phased his hand through the wall and opened the hidden compartment. Inside was a blueprint. He brought it over and laid it out.

“Yeah, so, the monitor will sit where it should, it won't hang down too far. Keep it plugged in or not. Doesn't actually matter. But if I phase my hand under a certain design, not sure what design, I should be able to open the table. I'm thinking of keeping more helmets and weapons in there. I'll keep the suit in the Mortal Kombat one and the extras in the wall.”

“This is nice. How do you plan on getting the material?”

“Well, the others are made of lead, can't see through it. Not that the police will ever come over here. The wall looks like a wall, no need to check a concrete wall. Mortal Kombat has other consoles in it, as storage. It can give off the illusion that it's made to just hold old consoles as well as play some games.”

“Neet. And the table?”

“It's just a table. You can't open it from the outside, therefore, only a speedster, or someone with similar abilities, can open it.”
