《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 7: After the Courthouse
Advertisement
After leaving the medics room, I’m now in the lounge area in my sweatpants with no shirt since my upper body is bandaged, restricting my arm movement. I take a seat in a recliner and tried to grab the tv remote but it was a little out of reach, so I just gave up. Right after giving up, Jet hands it to me.
“Here.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem, what’s the diagnosis?”
“Cracked sternum, nothing physical for a month.”
“Glad it wasn’t worse. Also thank you.”
“Welcome, I’m sure you’d do the same.”
After the brief conversation she took a seat and I turn on the tv and start to watch the news. Before I could really pay attention to it, I took note of Jet. This is the first time I’ve seen her without her suit on. Normally we train, hit the locker room, and then retire to our quarters. Now I’m able to fully view her for the first time in casual wear. She has shoulder length blond hair, blue eyes, and a big set. I am really dumbfounded at how her suit could hide them.
“Looks like they are talking about us.” Heliodor commented, as he walked in.
“Yeah, we did do a number.” replied Jet.
Then I draw my attention back to the tv and watched the news.
“Veronica, could you please tell us any new information you may have learned.” Newscaster.
“Yes, we have learned that the destruction was caused by a sub group under the supervillain Lord Zek but we do not know at this time which one.” Veronica.
“Thank you. Now to reiterate today’s top story, the Angle Groves courthouse has been partially destroyed. There have been no casualties reported. Fortunately the attack occurred before the scheduled shift began for the day so there were few workers at the site. However, some workers arriving to work were taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. This was caused by the supervillain Lord Zek in his plan to destroy the courthouse building. The Guardians of Angel Grove were at the scene at the time of the incident but are still missing. Early speculation is that the Guardians were trying to foil a plot by Lord Zek and were unsuccessful. Although they are currently missing, there is speculation that they are fine. We are gathering witness testimonies as we speak in order to give you all more accurate information.”

As the news was going on it showed security footage and I noticed Heliodor's fight with the Black Guardian.
Looks like I’ve finally did something news worthy and I need to do some studying.
