"You should trademark that."
"NOW LET ME show you kids around." Herace spoke as they were all now in the main hospital area. "This is a web-untangalizer for our arachnid-based superheroes. This is a molecular de-vaporizer. A lot of people get vaporized in this business. This is a picture of a bridge. I love bridges!" Herace yelled before taking the teens to a separate room. "This is the rec room, where recovering superheroes work on strengthening powers and honing super-skills."
"Okay, so, if superheroes are real and out there saving the world, how come we never see you guys?" Kaz asked.
"It's a combination of things. Sometimes we erase the memories of normos who witness our heroics. Usually we don't need to because most of you are looking down at your phones all the time." Herace explained. He looked over at the three teens to see them looking at Kaz's phone.
"I'm sorry. What?" Kaz asked as he put his phone back in his pocket.
"Plus, some of us are invisible. And sometimes we do things so fast, you don't even see it...like how you and I just switched outfits."
Kaz looked down at his clothes.
"No we didn't."
"Or did we?" Horace chuckled as he held up a picture. Of him and Kaz in opposite outfits.
"But, if you guys act in secret, then why are there superhero comic books and graphic novels?" Y/n asked.
"We chronicle our adventures and sell them to the public to finance this hospital, the league of heroes, and the bowling league of heroes. Here are your mm-200 communicators. I'll contact you when I need you." Horace explained as they gave them extremely small communicators.
"Ooh, look at the size of these things." Kaz commented as they put the communicators in their pockets.
"I know. Sorry they're so bulky. The mm-200-s will be much smaller and have new, funky ringtones." Horace cheered before leaving.
"Man. Look at all this cool stuff. Ooh, I wonder what this is...some kind of, like, high-tech memory restorer?" Kaz chuckled as he placed a metal bowl looking object on his head.
"That's a bedpan." Y/n told him as she pushed her glasses up.
"Ew, ew, ew, ew!" Kaz yelled as he threw the bedpan off his head. "Ick. Gross."
Kaz looked over to see a girl staring at him weirdly.
"Sup, girl?" Kaz chuckled as he put his hands in his pockets.
"Wait...You're Skylar Storm!" Oliver exclaimed excitedly.
"Wow, dude. No way! You were just making out with a cardboard cutout of her." Kaz chuckled.
"No I wasn't." Oliver gritted through his teeth. Oliver turned to Skylar and put on a big smile. "Hi. I'm Oliver. Big fan of your work. You have so many amazing powers."
"Had so many amazing powers. Yesterday, I was ambushed by the Annihilator. He neutralized my powers, took my invisible flying motorcycle. He even stole my costume. He left me just standing there in my underwear." Skylar ranted. Y/n looked over to her brother seeing him stare off. Skylar snapped her fingers in his face to get his attention back.
"I will definitely be buying that comic book when it comes out." Oliver told Kaz and Y/n grimaced.
"Anyway, I came here to Mighty Med to get my powers restored. Unless..." Skylar looked over at Kaz. "Explode!" She yelled making the three jump. "Nothing." Skylar sighed.
"Bummer. Huh. Wait. If you did have your powers, wouldn't I have just exploded?" Kaz asked.
"Hmm. Into a million pieces." Skylar sighed happily. Y/n's jaw dropped in horror as she stared at the girl.
"Awesome!" Kaz laughed as he high-fived Oliver.

"YESTERDAY WAS so cool." Oliver told Kaz and Y/n as he opened his locker. "I can't believe we get to save the people who save people."
"You should trademark that. I would totally buy that t-shirt." Kaz said before opening his own locker, Y/n following in suit next to him.
"So, did you guys find anything cool?" Jordan asked as she approached the three.
"Like what? A-A hospital for superheroes?" Kaz chuckled. Y/n hit his chest. Kaz looked down at her before looking back at Jordan. "No."
"I meant for our found-object robot. Now, this is an all-day project. So please keep Gus under control all day."
"Don't worry. We won't let him anywhere near you." Kaz reassured her.
"New shampoo?" Gus asked as he stood behind Jordan.
"No, it's bug repellant. And obviously it's not working." Jordan grimaced.
"Anyways, you asked for found objects, and I found this in my room. Five hundred dollars in small bills." The group gave Gus a weird look. "My parents give me money instead of attention."
Y/n, Oliver, and Kaz felt a buzz come from their pockets.
"Excuse us for a minute." Oliver told Jordan and Gus as he pulled Y/n and Kaz to the stairs.
"Horace is paging us to the hospital. What do we do?"
"We have to go." Y/n told Oliver.
"She's right. This is an opportunity of a lifetime." Kaz agreed.
"You're right." Oliver sighed.
"What are we gonna tell Jordan?" Y/n asked as she pushed her glasses up.
"Follow my lead." Oliver told the two and they nodded as they went back over to Jordan and Gus. "Uh, hey, Kaz, Y/n, and I have to take off for a bit." Oliver told Jordan.
"What? You can't go. You guys promised to help me on this project!"
"We'll be back soon, okay? Uh, we just have to, um, stop by our grandmother's house." Oliver said.
"Which is on fire." Kaz added. Y/n slapped his arm.
"Creek drive." Y/n added with a chuckle. "Fire creek drive...Where she lives. Uh, she-she needs us because of..."
"The fire." Kaz added again, and again Y/n hit him.
"Alarms." Oliver finishes. "The fire alarms. Uh, she needs us to make sure they're working because of..."
"The fire." Kaz added again with a smile.
"Yes. Sure. Our grandmother's house is on fire." Y/n says before her and Oliver glared at Kaz.
"Okay, gotta go." Kaz says quickly as he grabs Y/n and Oliver's arms.
"What is with you and fires?" Y/n asked Kaz as they walked out of school.
"I have no idea. It was the only thing I could come up with."
"Of course it was." Y/n mumbled as she rolled her eyes.

"KIDS! So great to see you." Horace greeted as the three teens entered Mighty Med.
"Yes, so great." Alan added sarcastically.
"So what's going on?" Oliver asked.
"Megahertz has run amok in this city. We'll need your help." Horace informed them.
"Make a path, people!" A man yelled as he pushed a gurnee Tecton's laying on it with a stop sign though his chest. "I've got a beloved superhero...has a puncture wound to the chest. Object appears to be a stop sign."
"Guys, that's Tecton." Oliver gasped as the three walked over to the gurnee.
"Dude, you're my all-time favorite superhero. Are-are you okay? What happened to you?" Kaz asked.
"Megahertz was robbing the federal reserve bank. When he tried to make an unauthorized withdrawal, I stopped him. Unfortunately he made an unauthorized deposit of this stop sign to my chest."
"Man, how cool is this guy? He's skewered and he's still making quips." Kaz chuckled.
"Take Tecton to the O.R." Horace ordered.
"Yes, sir. Hmm. Who's your trainer? Because I'm this close to firing Guillermo." The man said as he wheeled Tecton to the O.R.
"Kids, how would you like to observe Tecton's surgery?" Horace asked them.
"Are you kidding? We'd love to." Y/n beamed.
"Oh, but...We kind of have a prior commitment." Oliver said, referring to helping Jordan like they promised.
"Huh. I thought your commitment was to this hospital. Guess I misjudged you."
"No, no, no!" Oliver stammered. "We definitely want to work here. It would be a dream come true. It's just...we promised our friend-"
"This is Tecton. We can make new friends...superhero friends." Kaz said.
"Okay. Count us in." Oliver told Horace.
"Splendid! You'll be saving the people who save people." Horace exclaimed.
"Oh, I told you you should've trademarked that." Kaz grumbled.
"Too late!" Horace said as he pulled his button shirt to show a t-shirt that sat "saving the people you save people".

AS THE THREE were on their way to the O.R., Y/n's phone began to ring in her pocket. She pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. Kaz grabbed Y/n's phone and pressed answer on the video call.
"Hi Jordan!" Kaz greeted as the twins panicked next to him.
"Gus is driving me crazy, and I can't finish this project without you guys. Is Oliver and Y/n's grandma okay?" Jordan asked.
"Um, yes." Oliver answered as he grabbed the phone from Kaz. "Yes, she's-she's fine."
"Turns out she just burnt some toast in..." Y/n said as she adjusted her glasses.
"The fire." Kaz adds.
Y/n looks over at him before hitting his arm.
"Ow." Kaz grumbled as he rubbed his arm.
"Hurry. We have to present our project in three hours. And it's only half-finished." Jordan reminded the three before hanging up. Y/n grabbed her phone and turned to Kaz.
"The fire thing again. Really?" She asked him, only getting a shrug in response. The twins shook their heads before continuing their walk to the O.R.
*⃝ *⃝ *⃝
KAZ, Y/N, and Oliver entered the O.R. and looked around in amazement.
"You know, my parents always told me Y/n and I were wasting our lives on comic books and superheroes, but look at us now!" Oliver exclaimed.
"Check it out. I'm a rooster." Kaz laughed as he played with the rubber glove that he put on his head.
"Stop kazzing around. We vouched for you, and this job is really important to us. This could be the best after-school job ever." Oliver told Kaz and Y/n nodded from behind him.
"Dude, I'm sorry, but if you leave a glove around, somebody's gonna put it on their head. It's just science."
Oliver and Y/n crossed their arms in unison and gave Kaz the same look. Kaz looked between the two. He found it slightly creepy how alike they acted sometimes.
"Fine. I'll behave." Kaz caved.
"Thank you." Oliver sighed as Kaz took off the glove.
"I hope Tecton's gonna be okay." Y/n spoke as she pushed her glasses up.
"Yeah. He's the only one who could stop Megahertz." Oliver adds.
"Oh, of course he's gonna be okay. He survived falling into the earth's core." Kaz reminds them.
"Only because the meteorite in his chest gives him healing powers." Y/n adds as she crosses her arms.
"That's it. He can heal himself. Oh, I'm gonna prove to Horace that I belong here." Kaz said as he made his way around the gurnee. He grabbed the stop sign and slowly pulled it out of Tecton's chest.
"What did you just do?" Oliver asked in shock.
"Oh, I just saved my favorite superhero...Like a boss."
"We were just supposed to observe the surgery." Y/n reminded as she adjusted her glasses.
"Relax. He always heals. That hole is gonna close right up. Here we go." The three watched and waited for the hole in Tecton's chest to heal and close. "Any second now." The hole was still there. "Uh-oh."
"If anyone sees this, we're finished!" Oliver panics.
"Commemorative "I Kazzed this up" fake photo?" Kaz suggests. Y/n and Oliver shake their heads in unison, again giving Kaz the same look.
