Later that day, when Dave got done working, he went to tell Hannah about the plate incident.

"Hey, Hannah, something really strange happened today." He told her.

She looked at him curiously.

"So, I was balancing all of these plates at once, like a pro, when one of the plates started to tip over."

Hannah laughed. "I thought you said you were balancing all of those plates "like a pro"?"

"Hush and let me finish my story!"

Hannah rolled her eyes, but nodded anyways.

"So, as I was saying before being rudely interrupted, I couldn't get the plate balanced again. Yet, somehow, it righted itself. All on its own." Dave said.

"I know what you're getting at, but there were plenty of people in the restaurant. Anybody could've moved the plate." Hannah said matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, but I think it was one of the people I was serving. I mean, who else would've been able to notice my mistake? It wasn't like I was causing a scene or anything, so the tables I walked by didn't even notice the plate." He insisted.

Hannah shook her head at him. She then changed the subject to something else.

"So, how are you gonna deal with the Trio?"

"Well, I'm definitely gonna continue doing what I usually do, but I'll have to be more careful about it." Dave reasoned.

He then remembered what Hannah said earlier. "What did you mean by saying that you could back into their computer system, or whatever? You and I both know that's practically impossible. You'd have to be crazy to attempt to break into that thing."

The shorter shrugged. "Call me crazy, then."

"You're crazy." Dave said immediately.

They both broke out in giggles. Their next few hours were spent talking about everything they could think about that wasn't superhero related. They were walking down the street when Dave got an idea.

"Hey, do you wanna get some ice cream? There's a place nearby." He said.

"Ice cream? Hell yeah!" Hannah said happily. "You're paying, though."

"What? No way. Pay for your own stuff!"

"I paid for our food the last time we went somewhere."

"Fine, but we're both paying for our own stuff next time."

In just a few minutes, they were at the ice cream shop. Dave and Hannah burst through the doors excitedly, causing many heads to turn their way. The cashier greeted them with fake enthusiasm.

"Hello, welcome to Bruster's. What would you like to order?" She asked.

After ordering, they sat down at one of the empty tables. The duo ate their ice cream's in comfortable silence. After a few minutes, Hannah broke the silence.

"So, how are you? Are you doing ok?" She asked worriedly.

Dave picked at his ice cream for a bit before answering.

"Yeah, I'm doing ok. I still haven't gone home after that day, so I'm basically living in my hideout for now." He shrugged. Hannah felt like pushing the topic more, but decided against it. She knew Dave hated talking about his personal life.

"How's Clay?" She questioned, trying to lighten the mood.

"Clay? He's fine. Unfortunately, though, he's got a crush on some guy that goes to the pet store he works at often. Which means that I have to deal with him gushing about the guy constantly." Dave said dramatically.

Hannah laughed and was relieved when the tension lifted. They both went back to talking about the things they always did. Their conversation was cut short, however, when a certain superhero crashed through the ceiling of the ice cream shop. Dave and Hannah stared down at them in shock, as they had landed right next to their table.

"Is that...?" Hannah trailed off.

The superhero had cracks littering their body. Their eyes were closed and Dave assumed that they were unconscious, since they didn't get up. He winced when he saw that the familiar superhero had broken their arm off, revealing the diamond underneath their skin. Though there wasn't any blood, the sight of the hero's arm detached from their body sickened Dave.

"Skeppy? Yeah, I think so." Dave told her before running to the bathroom to change into his superhero suit.

He was back in record time and got prepared to fight. Skeppy had woken up by the time he got back and, with the help of Hannah, reattached his arm to his body. The cracks on his body were already healing. Dave hid in the shadows, not wanting to fight Skeppy in the middle of a ice cream shop.

How was he able to hide in the shadows? Nobody knows.

"Thank you, kind stranger!" Skeppy said to Hannah, his high voice going up an entire two octaves.

Hannah was about to respond when another superhero came through the roof of the shop.

"Skeppy! Oh my goodness, are you alright?" BadBoyHalo asked their friend.

"Yeah, Bad. I'm alright." Skeppy said.

"Good, cause I don't think a6d can hold off Keem for much longer."

BadBoyHalo then grabbed Skeppy and flew out the shop.

Technoblade came out the shadows and followed after them, ignoring Hannah's protests. He followed them to the middle of the city, where a6d was fighting the famous supervillain Keemstar.

Just as the villain was about to hit a6d, BadBoyHalo and Skeppy both attacked Keem at the same time. Keemstar was taken aback, but quickly recovered. Unfortunately, he had backup. His sidekick, Laake, attacked the Trio from behind.

Just ask Laake was about to shatter Skeppy, Technoblade came and cut him with his sword. The impact of his sword knocked Laake off balance, causing him to fall, but he quickly got back to his feet. When he saw who knocked him over, his eyes wided in shock.

"Technoblade?" He asked in confusion.

His name caused the the Trio and Keem to all stop and turn to look at him. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on Technoblade. Temporarily.

Loving the attention he was getting for the time being, Technoblade smiled at them.

"Surprise!" Technoblade said with a grin. "Now, are we fighting or not?"
