Welcome, everyone. Continuing on with Basil and Venus' story we open during the episode "Mastermind." Basil is the protagonist for this one. Enjoy and review.

12:10 PM

Lunch at Bifrost Gardens… It was a good day, better if you knew the correct pronunciation of "Bifrost" to be "Bee-froast." Not that this was a choice of discussion between Basil Hagen, student of A. Nigma High, and his girlfriend Venus Kellerman, student of Bishop Dunan's.

It might as well have been however.

"Anyway, so I tell Brad the character's name is correctly pronounced either 'Druck-ool' or 'Thruck-oo-la.' To which Brad asked if one is the medieval pronunciation and the other the modern at which point I just walked away rather than dignify that question with a response."

"But Basil, doesn't that indicate you don't know?" inquired Venus.

Basil's eyes, previously on Venus' breasts suddenly were staring into space. He had not thought of that. Laughing to himself, Basil looked at Venus' red hair. She was certainly the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and was certainly right about him not knowing if either pronunciation was a modern or a medieval one.

"Uh, so how was school this morning?" asked Basil.

Venus could only shrug. "It was school. It was uneventful. Joseph is Joseph, not acting any more or less than how he usually has been."

"And what of our… Our, uh, problem… The Death Bat?"

"I haven't seen it in a while." Stated Venus. "And that worries me. What if it is about to appear?"

"Well, that would certainly be something that would happen in a story involving something like that." Commented Basil.
