[ HENRY'S POV ]

30 MINUTES TO PRESENT DAY...

'No, no, no,' Even though I had my suspisons I wanted to be wrong, I needed to. Blake was my friend, not my enemy, not a killer. He steps towards, and in response I instantly step back not judging where I'm going as I collide into one of the chairs dropping my phone and Jasper. His limp badly crashes into the ground, as I follow next to him.

'I'm geniuenly sorry, Henry, that it had to be you. I didn't want it to,' his words echo around the room, as I begin to pick myself off the floor shielding Jasper as I do, 'It was so difficult with so many people and problems in the way.'

He stares over taking a seat, while never breaking eye contact as he blows a ball of bubblegum, reverting back to his old self.

'You don't believe how much I had to go through to get you here, but somehow you still wouldn't just die already!' His temper rises as his eyebrows furrow, his fist clench,' So I had to go the long way round for everything - Ray, Charlotte, Jasper, Patina - they all had crucial parts.'

I need to get up and fight but until I have backup, I can't risk it without Jasper get more hurt. So, I wait because currently that's all I can do, I left the guns for the police to pick up and my zapper won't be much impact against bullets.

'So about a year ago, I heard Charlotte was making her way to Dystopia - it's amazing what you can find out through Twit Flash. That was issue number one, you couldn't come here, not after I had gone through so much trouble to get this city to the state it was in. And while I did want revenge, I couldn't exactly risk doing it here, that would be bad press! So unlike other vistors you had to go.'

Blake swirls the chair around to face the screens to bring up five photos of me, Jasp, Char, Ray and Patina, each with detailed information beside it.

'Because Hen, I know you're Kid Danger, like I know Ray Manchester is Captain Man - I can't have people like that snooping around my plans. You were suspicious day I of T.R.U.T.H., it was a warning for me that you couldn't just be left alone.' My heart falters - he knew all along! All this time, and he never said!

'Firstly, Jasper, what was I to do with him?' The screens focus on serveal clips of Jasper in my house, the man cave, junk in stuff. I hear a groan from beside me, as Jasper's mouths opens and closes slightly. It would be a perfect time to wake up, Jasper!

'I knew his new found ability for fighting and he oversized heart was the way to go, because unlike Charlotte he wouldn't just accept candy from a scientist? Wrong! I didn't want revenge against him but he was in the way. See weirdly enough Patina is an old friend of mine, so when I happened to lead her to the exact same bar you guys were at it was easy to accept what happened next.'


'I can't believe they're actually here,' Patina whined as she orders her drink,' I need to go say hi.'

'Woah, Patty, you can't just go over there, it would look so uncool. Wait for him to come to you,' Blake grabs his drink pulling the lime out of it,' I found something out from my brother a while back, Hart's Kid Danger.'


'Easy really, I then told her about Dunlop's new powers and instantly she wanted to help. Drug Jasper with a sleeping pill not too different to the one he received, but not nearly as strong enough so he thought Patina found out about your identity through him.'

'I don't how you knew that in the first place,' I start but he holds his hand up for silence.

'I'll get on to that, Hen,' he pauses as the images of Jasper and Patina dissolve off the screen. 'From then, I got Dr Desilva to prescribe Jasper with a sleeping agent - one that  was supposed to kill him. But unfornuatelty for me, it never worked. That was Jasper out of the way.'
