Sorry this chapter's so small after the wait; I wanted to get this up before going on vacation. Also, there will be a time jump next chapter so it made more sense to stop at this point. Hope you enjoy - See you all in a couple weeks!

Danny pulled out his cell phone and had just finished unlocking it when it rang. The little girl waiting behind him to use the soda machine laughed when he startled and sloshed root beer all over his arm. Being the mature adult he is, Danny confined his reaction to sticking his tongue out at her before answering his phone.

"Hey Tucker; I was just about to call you guys. I think something-"

"Dude you are gonna freak!" Tucker was shouting, too excited to wait for Danny to finish talking. "Those Bang Babies we were checking out? Some of them are getting super powers! Today we saw one that straight up shoots fireballs and there was this other one who totally controls electricity – this town is getting so whack!"

"Whoa, that sounds-"

"I know, right? The guy with the electricity – I'm texting you a photo – calls himself 'Static' and he is a real-life superhero; I am so excited!"

"Tucker," Danny covered his mouth and phone with one hand, "you are part of a real-life superhero team."

"Pff. I know, man, but this is different."

"Uh huh." His cell's notification light flashed and he opened up the picture. No wonder Tucker was so excited; from what he'd heard about Dakota City a black superhero would be the perfect role model for the place and its youth. "He looks a little young."

"No younger than you were." Danny smiled at hearing Sam's voice. "Tucker's off fanboying; that'll probably take all night. So whatcha got, ghost boy?"

"Well, it's kinda funny..." he glanced around, deciding a spot in the outdoor seating are would be safe from listening ears. "I may also have a guy who controls electricity – or at least absorbs it. Can't be sure yet since he's in the hospital but it's something to keep an eye on. Should I come out there, maybe talk to this Static kid?"

Sam took a moment to consider before answering.

"It might be a good idea; Tuck and I will scope him out and let you know. What about your side; need any support?"

"It's looking like a waiting game over here. A lot of people were hit by the blast and aside from that one guy I haven't seen anything strange; it'll probably take time."

"Okay, so look around tomorrow and if there's nothing new you can take a portal over."

His grin expanded at the thought of seeing his fiance. It had only been a few days, but still...

"Looking forward to it already."
