Hours had gone by. The makeshift Justice League sat around the large table in Pyro's suite, cooking up the plan of a lifetime. Blueprints were passed around, coffee was had, midnight oil was burned.

"Is Gray Mann comin' to the Saxxies?" asked Nadine, popping her hard, stale, coffee-tainted gum.

"FROM WHAT I HEARD," said Saxton Hale in an attempt to whisper. "HE'S GONNA BE MAKIN' A SURPRISE APPEARANCE. HE WANTS TO USE THE SHOW AS A WAY TO REVEAL HIS COMPLETELY FRIENDLY, MUTUALLY AGREED-UPON ACQUISITION OF MY COMPANY. THAT RAT!" He shook his fist.

"Perfect," said Pyro, jotting down notes. "Gray Mann at Saxxies...wants to unveil "new" Mann Co. Is the Administrator going to be there?"

"I'LL TRACK HER DOWN, CALL AN' ASK HER. SHE CAN'T HIDE FROM ME!"

"Maybe she wants to confront this Gray Mann," suggested Spy. "It seems like the perfect set-up."

"Yeah, well, everyone's trying to get each other at the Saxxies. Gray Mann wants to show up and surprise everyone, the Administrator probably knows and wants to blow him up or something, and we're there to shut it all down. This is going to be a shitshow," muttered Pyro.

"My kinda shitshow," Nadine giggled. "I can't believe this is happenin'. This is such a thrill!"

"Do you realize that we literally have the entire weight of the world on our shoulders, Nay?"

"Yeah, but it's like a movie. Good guys always win, ya know. I'm sure we'll do fine."

"Easy for you to say," Pyro grumbled, twirling her pen between her fingers. Easy for her to say when Nadine was only assisting them and not doing much heavy lifting in terms of execution. She wasn't even supposed to be involved, but they needed all the help they could get.

Saxton Hale then abruptly stood up, nearly knocking over the entire table.

"IT'S QUITE LATE, DON'TCHA THINK? WE AREN'T GETTIN' MUCH DONE NOW. WE CAN CONTINUE TOMORROW," he said with a mighty yawn.

"I agree," groaned Pyro. "I'm getting a headache staring at all these papers."

"I am just getting started," Spy said. He stretched, rolled up his sleeves, took a swig of coffee, and lit another cigarette. Pyro wondered how he saw what he was writing with all that smoke billowing out of his mouth.

"I'm gonna crash here," Nadine announced, taking her leave to crash on one of the plush couches in the suite. She turned on the TV and flopped onto the couch.

"I'LL BE SEEIN' ALL OF YE TOMORROW. G'NIGHT, MATES!" Saxton boomed, storming over to the door. He turned the doorknob and pushed on the door, met with nothing but resistance and frustration. After a few more seconds of frantically trying to push it open, he got very annoyed and prepared to kick the door down.

"WAIT, NO!" Pyro yelled, scrambling up from her chair. "PULL IT OPEN, PULL IT OPEN!"

"AH. I SEE. AHEM. SORRY 'BOUT THAT," he said sheepishly, quickly opening the door correctly and taking his leave.

"Jesus," whispered Pyro, putting her hands to her temples and sinking back down into her chair next to the Spy. Only a dim, yellow lamp was left on to light the room, casting a variety of shadows on the wall. Much to her astonishment, she noticed that the Spy began comfortingly rubbing her back with his one free hand.

"So? Set?" Crystal asked." Yeah the ball will start soon lets hurry," spy replied.
