After putting all their gear away, and settling in, the five along with David were watching Wolf Blitzer on TV explain the recent Arbiter situation:


"Earlier today, a terrorist group that involved all teenagers boarded the Arbiter and forced their way into the lower decks,


Once there, they released an electromagnetic burst that severely crippled the ship. Officials were quick to point out that even though the Arbiter sank, there was no loss of human life."


Bridgette grabbed the remote and turned off the TV, then turns to the five and sees them disappointed.

"Hey, we don't have mutant superpowers, we couldn't have saved the ship," Bridgette said to the five in a calming utter. "But at least we saved those sailors." She added to let them know there was a bright side.


"Except the Arbiter sank, and we still don't who this "Boss" is, and we still don't even know this mind-controlling teenager situation!" Jake yelled while looking down at his gray high tops.


Bridgette turned to the others, getting confused from Jake's sudden attitude.


"I'm sorry. But, you guys could've tried... You know, harder." Jake said with no emotion.


"Jake, what are you talking about? What were we supposed to do?!" Trent angrily said as he thrusted his head at Jake, who was across the couch from him.


"Maybe realize the world is pretty much at stake with human teenagers turning into human robots? I know I'm the leader, but I'm pretty sure the phrase "Evil teenagers are attacking an Arbiter" is pretty self-explanatory!"


Eddie knew an argument was happening, so he put his hands on his chin, and slipped both fingers with either hand and covered his ears.


"I'm starting to realize that I've always been saving your guys' butts and still haven't even gotten a single thank you." Jake said as he firmly stood up.


Trent made a laugh at how ridiculous he sounded. "Are you serious?! Okay, dude, we all knew you were a little bit of a... well, conceited dick," Trent said as he stood up from his chair. "But we work just as hard as you, maybe even harder."


"Is that so?" Jake said as he put his hands in his pockets. "Who was the one that was literally eating chips when we broke into the warehouse? Huh?" Jake said as he lowered himself to look up at Trent. "That's right, YOU were."
