Charlotte would never actually agree that she enjoyed having Henry madly in love with her, but it definitely had its perks.

"No, no, you can't come in." Charlotte protested as Schwoz tried to follow them inside. Henry hummed in agreement as he pulled Charlotte tight against him. Schwoz pouted, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Why can't I go in there?"

"Yeah, why can't he?" Jasper asked, one of his eyebrows arched. Henry swayed Charlotte gently in his arms before kissing her on the cheek.

"Because Char said no, and I looovvveee her." Charlotte blushed and tried to pull herself away, squirming and attempting to swat his arms away, but Henry just gave a loud sigh of content and held her tighter. Schwoz ignored Henry's antics to stare at Charlotte, trying to give her the sad eyes.

"You don't want me in the house?"

"What if Henry's parents are hom-" Charlotte started to explain, but she was cut off by Henry who was curling a tendril of Charlotte's hair around his finger.

"Schwoz, Char-bear doesn't want you to come in, so you can't come in."

"Char-Bear?" Jasper snorted and went into a fit of giggles, bending over to try to catch his breath. Even though the nickname was awful, Charlotte couldn't help but to smile. She couldn't deny that having Henry agree with her immediately was pretty nice.

"Well, Henry said no, so you can't come in, Schwoz." Schwoz looked at Henry with a face full of hurt, but Henry just gave him an oblivious love struck expression.

"Isn't she adorable?" Schwoz sighed loudly in resignation, and Charlotte couldn't help but to smirk. Maybe this situation wouldn't be as bad as she thought it would be. Charlotte turned upward to look towards Henry.

"Hen, can you let me go, so I can open the door?" Henry smiled before slowly unwrapping his arms from around her, keeping his hands on her waist.

"Anything for you, Char." Charlotte ignored the fluttering in her chest to open the door, but apparently, Jasper couldn't ignore their interaction.

"Aw, you guys are the cutest couple." Charlotte sent him a deadly glare.

"Do you want to wait outside too?" Jasper just smirked.

"Charlotte, if you want some alone time with Henry, all you have to do is ask."

"Yes, we can kiss and cuddle!" Henry piped in excitedly. Heat crept into Charlotte's cheeks as she pictured Henry holding her against his broad chest, smiling down at her, and planting a kiss against her lips with those soft lips…

"Shut up and get inside." Charlotte shouted in slight mortification, trying to get the image out of her head. She shouldn't be thinking about her best friend like that. She should be focused on getting him back to normal, not wondering what it would feel like to kiss Henry again.

Jasper stopped smirking, and Schwoz jumped to his feet. They both looked at her in slight fear before quickly shuffling past the couple to get inside. Well, Schowz tried to get inside, but Charlotte pulled on his jumpsuit collar, keeping him in the entrance.

"Not you, Schwoz. You stay out here." Charlotte instructed, releasing his collar.

"Yes, 'mam." Charlotte nodded and walked inside with Henry following close behind her. Henry sat down on the couch closest to them, and Charlotte sighed in relief. Now that she had some space, she could think. Unfortunately for her, Henry had other plans, and they involved little to no space between the two of them. Charlotte let out a squeak of surprise as Henry lightly pulled her into his lap. Charlotte looked up from her place on Henry's lap to see Jasper watching the two of them in amusement from the other side of the couch.

"Not a word, Jasper. Not. One. Word." Jasper held up his hands in a mock surrender motion.

"I didn't say anything." Before Charlotte could give a witty response, Piper came rushing down the stairs, screaming like a banshee.

"Jasper!" Charlotte watched as Jasper's face went from one of amusement to one of barely concealed guilt and fear. Oh, how the tables had turned.

"Heyy, Piper." Charlotte knew where this was going before Piper started complaining about Jasper using her curling iron, but she honestly wasn't expecting Piper to start viciously attacking Jasper so quickly. Charlotte started to say something to try to help him, but then Henry began to massage her shoulders. And dang, Henry had the hands of a god. He was really getting rid of the knots in her shoulders.

"Could you just move down a little bit? Yeahhh, baby, that's nice. That's the spot."

"Charlotte! Henry! Help me!" Charlotte held up a hand as she bit back a groan.

"Hold on. Just one second."

"I don't have a second!" Jasper shouted as Piper ripped his eyelashes out. Charlotte sighed loudly and moved Henry's hands off of her shoulder reluctantly. Henry frowned.

"Did I hurt you?" Henry asked, sounding slightly upset.

"No, definitely not. I just need to help Jasper." Henry nodded.

"If I help Jasper, can we cuddle?"

"Uhhh, I'll give you a hug if you help Jasper."

"Okay! You give the best hugs." Henry responded quickly, placing Charlotte on the empty space next to him and planting a kiss on her forehead. Charlotte watched in awe and slight shock as Henry threw Piper over his shoulder and carried her upstairs.

"Henry?! What are you doing? Put me down!" Piper shouted, but Henry ignored her and smiled brightly at Charlotte. Charlotte looked away quickly. Charlotte was beginning to think that she had a medical condition since her heart was practically pounding in her chest and her lungs did not seem to be working today.

"Okay, tell me why Gwen would use tainted muffins to make Ray fall in love with her." Jasper asked, rubbing his tender face. Charlotte shook her head slightly. She could worry about her well-being later. They had bigger problems at the moment: two virtually incompetent heroes.

"'Cause, think about it, if Captain Man and Kid Danger are so in love that they can't fight crime, then they can't stop Gwen from doing whatever evil things that she wants to do." Jasper nodded.

"Okay, well then I think that we need to figure out-" Both Charlotte and Henry turned around at the sound of loud footsteps coming down the stairs, and Charlotte blushed again as Henry walked towards them with his arms open and a huge grin on his face.

"Can I have my hug now, Char-Bear?" Charlotte hung her head at the nickname while Jasper barked out a loud laugh.

"It's funnier the second time!"

"Henry, we're kind of busy right now."

"But you said that you would give me a hug… You haven't given me any attention all day." Henry complained, his hands sagging down in slight disappointment. Charlotte sighed.

"Fine, I'll give you a hug, but it's not going to be a long one." Henry's face lit up as Charlotte walked over to him. He immediately engulfed her in a hug, wrapping his hands around her lower waist, and Charlotte wrapped her hands around his torso. Henry started to sway their bodies again, and Charlotte rolled her eyes but rested her head against his chest. The hug wasn't awkward like she thought it would be. It was actually kinda nice, a lot like their other hugs.

"I love you, Charlotte." Henry whispered tenderly. Charlotte's heart stopped beating in her chest at the sound of his voice. He sounded...serious, like he really loved her. Charlotte pushed herself away from his chest, her face flushed, and her eyes wide. It was just the drugs. She had to remember that none of this was real. Even if it felt real, even if it sounded real, it wasn't.

"Okay, hug over." Jasper didn't tease her this time, and Charlotte was grateful. Charlotte coughed awkwardly.

"So, what are we going to do now?"

"I don't know, Jasper. I honestly don't know." Jasper and Charlotte shared a serious look. Even though Jasper was making jokes, Charlotte knew that he was worried too. They needed to get Captain Man and Kid Danger back to normal. Charlotte didn't know what Gwen had in mind, but she doubted that it was going to be anything good.

Despite the many hours that they had spent at Henry's house brainstorming (not counting the hour that it took them to find and rescue Schwoz from the neighborhood delinquents), Jasper and Charlotte had yet to come up with a plan.

"Maybe if we give Henry and Ray a different muffin, they'll fall out of love." Jasper suggested as he took another slice of pepperoni pizza from the box in Henry's living room. Charlotte grimaced.

"Jasper, I can't even get Henry to eat this pizza." Jasper frowned as Charlotte tried to coax Henry into eating.

"Come on, Henry. It's your favorite, 'roni pizza! I know that you're hungry!" Henry just booped her nose and played with her free hand.

"You're so cute, always taking care of me, and listening to me, but I don't need to eat, Char. I'm already full off of your love." Charlotte leaned back into the couch with a huff. She was tired of hearing this nonsense. Henry was never not hungry, and she knew for a fact that he was probably starving. That stupid muffin was altering his brain.

"Is that a thing?" Jasper asked with his mouth full of pizza. Charlotte groaned.

"Yeah, one of the chemicals responsible for attraction, serotonin, can alter appetite, so people in love might not feel hungry."

"You're so intelligent." Charlotte ignored him. She didn't need compliments from Henry. She needed him to eat and start thinking clearly.

"Well, what if you fed him?" Charlotte glared at Jasper.

"This is not the time-"

"No, seriously, maybe he'll eat if you make it romantic or something." Charlotte looked toward Henry who was sitting right next to her on the couch, intertwining their fingers. Charlotte jerked her hand away. He looked up at her with a small frown.

"Henry, I need you to eat. Please. Is there any way that I can get you to eat?" Henry pulled Charlotte towards him, cradling her face in his hands.

"There's nothing to be worried about. I'm just not hungry." He tried to reassure her, but Charlotte felt like crying. This whole situation felt so hopeless. Not only could she not think of a way to get her best friend (and boss) back to normal, but she couldn't even get Henry to eat pizza, his favorite food.

"I get that you're not hungry, but you have to eat. What if I fed you?" Henry smiled.

"I love sharing with you, Char." Charlotte couldn't tell if she was happy or horrified that Jasper's idea had worked. Charlotte's breath caught in her throat as she thought about the implications of feeding Henry, but she pushed those feelings aside. She shared food with Henry all of the time. This was no different.

With that thought in mind, Charlotte opened the pizza box, grabbed a large slice and a napkin, and placed the piece in front of Henry's face. He smirked at her slightly before taking a large bite out of the pizza. As soon as Henry's lips brushed against the skin of her fingers, Charlotte's body stiffened, chills ripped down her spine, and before she knew what was happening, she had dropped the fresh pizza, right in Henry's lap.

Charlotte watched as Henry's face scrunched up in pain, and Jasper cringed from his spot on the floor.

"Are you okay? That pizza was kinda hot…" Charlotte leaned in his direction, debating on whether or not it was appropriate to pick up the pizza. Before she could decide, Henry had moved the pizza and put it on a spare napkin.

"I will be. Once you kiss it better, Char." Charlotte blushed profusely while Jasper snorted loudly.

"Henry! Wha-What?"

"I asked you to kiss it better. I thought you loved me…" Henry pouted, pointing to his crotch to emphasize his point. Jasper howled in laughter, and Charlotte decided at that exact moment that she was going to find a solution to this problem. She needed the old Henry back. Although having Henry in love with her had its perks, she missed the old Henry, and she would get him back.

Author's Note: "Guess who's back? Back again. Shady's Back. Tell a friend." Had to do it. This is the beginning of an era of updating, lol. I actually really struggled writing this. I had to rewrite the original and just trash most of it, and this actually took all day to write. Mostly because wstrnplsr105, and her chapter was so perfect! It's hard to follow perfection. ;) I hope you guys enjoyed it! I couldn't help myself with this ending (I literally did try not to write it.), and I hope you guys are amused (and not horrified).
