Tw: guns but only at the beginning

"DRIVE, HENRY! DRIVE!" Ray barked as he dived in the back of a pickup truck and Henry stepped on the gas, sending them speeding off.

The two heroes were taking a break from their jobs to attend a party at an upscale club as a means of celebrating some big victories, but Henry had made the unfortunate mistake of picking a fight with someone there, and turns out they belonged to a gang. And a not-so-friendly one at that.

"Ray! Why are you in the back of the car and not up here where it's considerably safer?" Henry replied and yelped as a bullet cut through the windshield and missed the blond's head by a few inches.

"So you don't get shot, That's why!" Ray shouted back as he fumbled in the back for a pistol he bought a few weeks ago and fired back at the attackers.

Henry, in a desperate attempt to lose them, shouted at ray to get down as he took a sharp turn down a more narrow road, the sound of screeching tires leaving a ringing in his ears. "Are they still there?"

"Unfortunately." Ray replied and fired back at them, "see that really busy road up ahead? I can see at least three cop cars, they won't follow us there."

Henry obliged and sped over and down the road, looking behind him. By the time the attackers came into view, the vehicle was too crowded by other cars to even dare to shoot.

Ray opened a hatch in the back window and attempted to subtly sneak inside the truck, but hit his head on the floor.

"Are they gone?" Henry asked, driving back to junk-n-stuff.

"Yeah, it was a close one." Ray replied. "Pretty sure I saw Drex in that car."

Henry's stomach dropped. "Really?"

"Yeah, it's been a while since I've actually encountered him." Ray replied, trying to sit up. "I've known he's been in modern swellview again, I've just never seen him around."

"How did you know that!?" Henry pulled into the man cave's garage.

"Rumors and anonymously submitted information." Ray replied and crawled out.

Henry gave ray a skeptical look before the two went down the tubes and down to the man cave.

Ray let out a sigh of relief and went over to the many monitors to check any activity.

Henry left him to do that and went down a long hallway and opened the door to what looked like a small yet cozy apartment building. Ray had the area specially built for Henry when he moved into the man cave, and He had quickly made it home.
The blond changed into more comfortable clothes and began texting his close friend Charlotte.

Is Piper with you? She's supposed to stay the night at my place.

Yeah but she's busy right now. I'll bring her over when we've finished, Charlotte texted back and turned around to see Piper lightly tracing her fingers against a rather large, shiny piece of metal.
