*Days After (Issue #6)*

*Morning*
*Phoenix Pact's Living Room*

*Arctic stood over Sparky, Gyro and Heat as the three appeared exhausted, slumped on the living room couch. Arctic folded his arms as he quickly pondered to himself*

Sparky: All right man...we're up...so what's going on?
Arctic: Okay, so you guys know how I usually spend my early mornings on super hero neighborhood watch mode?

*They all nodded with Heat almost nodding off*

Gyro: Ya, I saw you out like five times already this week.
Heat: Did you see that smoke dude again?
Arctic: Worse...

*They all looked bewildered while Arctic got out the remote for their TV*

Arctic: Well first I was doing the patrol when suddenly this middle age woman came up to me talking about "Oh, I love how your group is busting those drug users." And I'm like what? And she was like "Ya, I saw the video of you and you four friends take out that druggy Smoke Screen to get weed finally out of our neighborhood".
Sparky: Wait...video?
Arctic: Ya, so uh...

*Arctic turned the TV on with it showing a news video on pause*

Arctic: Get ready to be called hypocrites.

*Arctic played the news video with them all watching in fascination*

[Female News Anchor (On TV): Alright, so he may have called them the foolish four, but a lot of them are calling them heroes. Here is our new reporter Tonya Fondozzi for more details.]

*Video of the Phoenix Pact facing off against Smoke Screen played*

[Tonya Fondozzi (On TV): These heroes call themselves...]
[Heat (On TV): "We're the Phoenix Pact!"]
[Tonya Fondozzi (On TV): Yes, the Phoenix Pact...and even though they seem to have many enemies. They also are garnering some friends.]

*Video showed of a room filled with middle age women in a community center. the camera panned to a sign saying "Mom's Against Marijuana" and "M.A.M" then abruptly to a middle aged woman*

[Middle Age Woman (On TV): It's good to see heroes standing up against drug dealers and pot heads. Why can't these druggies get drunk like the rest of us.]

Gyro: Is this actually real?

*Arctic looked at her as he nodded*

Arctic: Yep, we're apparently role models now.

*Sparky sighed in disbelief*

Sparky: Role Models? Us?
Gyro: Exactly, we're random and raunchy-

*Video showed a little boy as he smiled*

[Little Young Boy (On TV): I like the one with the helmet; he was really cool.]

*It then cut to two twin little girls with red hair*

[Tonya Fondozzi (On TV): And what did you think?]
[Twin Girl (On TV): I liked the fire one, she was tough.]
[Twin Girl (2) (On TV): Well I really liked the one with red hair cause, I have red hair and we're just alike...and her powers were cool too.]

*Gyro was utterly speechless as she quietly stroked her red hair*

[Tonya Fondozzi (On TV): So let's look forward to these new heroes on the block as they inspire our youngest, now back to you Jesse.]
