48th Hangover - He's a Hero, I swear.

[heartstar_blues]

[Look out Mayfield! If there's trouble, The Captain is there! With super strength, flight, and near invulnerability, there has to be something he can do.

He's sober people, this is not a drill. This is the real thing.

So he's coming to help you! Yes, YOU! And you too

[ooeeooahah]

[ That's... not a gallows Ilsa is building in her back yard, is it? There's scaffolding made from a couple of step-ladders, and a lot of rope... ]

[heartstar_blues]

[He swoops down and lands, looking over the... thing.]

Need any help with that?

[ooeeooahah]

Oh, hi! Nah, I'm just setting up the rig for the deep-fried turkeys later in the week.

[ She lashes the cross-beam to one of the step-ladders. ]

Figured it's safer to set this up while the boys are at work. How are you doing today?

[heartstar_blues]

I'm doing okay, I think.

[Being an embarrassment of a superhero.]

You sure there's nothing a super hero can help with?

[a_gentle_boy]

[Oh, no! Lucas's table has a flat... leg. Looking a little concerned, Lucas kneels beside his poor steed and frowns at the nick in the... wood? rubber? plastic?... weird mr. saturn-invented molecule... thing.......]

Don't worry. I'm sure a little glue will fix it up just fine.

[pat pat, table, it's gonna be ok!]

[heartstar_blues]

[And then The Captain lands!]

Hey kid.

[What's wrong with that table?]

Were you going somewhere?

[a_gentle_boy]

Oh, Mr. Captain!

[...Lucas glances up and smiles in an embarrassed sort of manner.]

Not anywhere important, no.

[heartstar_blues]

Oh...

[Still confused by the table.]

Need to get it anywhere to... uh... fix that?

[Whatever that is.]

[cryptic_rabbit]

[Well, would you look at that! There's a poor, defenseless rabbit-looking thing all tangled up in the branches of a tree, just ripe for the picking!

All right so he isn't a cat or a dog, but he's pretty stuck.]

Hey, I think I can see my house from here!

[heartstar_blues]

[Tada! The Captain arrives to save the day!]

Hey, talking dog huh?

Need help with that... oh ☠☠☠☠, another talking rabbit.

Need help with that thing?

[cryptic_rabbit]

[BLESS YOU, THE CAPTAIN.]

Unless you'd like to watch me chew my adorable, fuzzy arms off, then yes, please.

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett is trying to figure out how to work a doorbell. It would be easier for her to knock, but she wants to try to adjust to the technology in Mayfield.]

Ah...how does this work? Is something going to blow up if I press this? How hard do I have to press? How many times do I have to press? Can he really hear it inside the house? I'm no good with buttons...

[heartstar_blues]

[Here he comes to save the day!

Landing on the sidewalk and walking up to the confused resident.]

Hey, having trouble getting in?

[answerer_sword]

[She almost jumps when he walks up to her.]

N-no! T-this isn't even my house.

[She takes a deep breath and calms down.]

I'm...just trying to figure out how to use this button thing. People tell me it's a doorbell and you're supposed to use it instead of knocking.

[heartstar_blues]

Oh...

[Well, that isn't something that takes a super hero.]

It's easy. You just push the button like this...

[He's not paying attention to the button, he's paying attention to the girl. So his finger pushes the button in, and pushes a hole right through it!]

[gezellighe]

[He's weeding. Now that it's cold he's removing all the dying plants and putting in some new tulip bulbs. Hopefully they'll come up in the Spring; it's one of his favorite things to watch.

But for now he's digging up a good portion of the yard, and he's also getting rid of some ugly bushes that he never would have planted there.]

[heartstar_blues]

[Seeing him move on to bushes, The Captain lands.]

Here, let me help with that one.

[Walking over and up rooting it like a weed, just gripping it in the middle and tugging.]

[gezellighe]

[Staring at the Captain through the settling dirt. . .then pointing at the other bushes. ]

Do those too.

[Because that was cool.]

[heartstar_blues]

[Shrugs and goes over and starts just plucking them out of the ground and tossing them aside.

One leaves a little stump with roots. He frowns at that as it broke off.]

Hand me that shovel.
