[New York, Manhattan: Scott's Penthouse: 3rd P.O.V]
'Damn, He's rich'
Sarah thought as she entered Scott's Penthouse. After they got off the bus, Scott took Sarah to her penthouse. The first thing Scott did was change his ruined clothes while Sarah was looking around.
Scott asked Sarah if she could shower after she's done looking around and he gave her his clothes that won't look bad or big in her.
Scott decided to make quick food but realise that the already ate lunch a couple of hours ago, so he decided to prepare dinner later when the night arrives.
He decided to check the fridge and cabinets for groceries but realised that it's almost finished but it'll probably last 4-6 days.
After Sarah was done washing, she came to talk with Scott about something.
"So, am I going to sleep here?" She said to Scott while still looking around
"Yes... Or you don't feel like staying here?"
"No it's not that. I'll sleep on the 'couch'? Is that even a couch?"
"Yes it's a couch called Dune Ensemble but why do you wanna sleep on the couch when there's a bed?"
"I only see one bedroom. Don't tell me we'll sleep together?"
"What? No? There are 3 other bedroom that are unoccupied. Pick whichever you want."
"3 spare bedrooms? I don't see them?"
"They have hidden doors. Each wall that doesn't have a paintings or pictures in it is a room. You figure out the puzzle yourself."
"What? It's your house... Why can't you just show me?"
"Okay. Jeez you're no fun"
After they're small talk, Scott eventually showed Sarah the room. Scott checked his and found out that the bruised face is worse than he thought.
Sarah finished checking the room and decided to watch some TV. While she was watching the TV, she sees the news channel and decided watch it for information.
Scott checked his bruises and heard the news on TV. He decides to see what the news is talking about.
[It's been over two weeks, and Frown said he was going to rob a bank today, but nothing seems to have happened. It appears he's all talk and didn't have a plan. Let's move on to the next subject in the news.
It appears the speedsters caused a lot of deaths a couple of hours ago while they were speeding. Many people died, and the police are still working to determine the exact number. Most of the fatalities occurred at Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles, where Fast and Blur were first spotted fighting each other. No concrete evidence is known yet, but their speed is believed to be the cause of the incident.]
Sarah and Scott watched the news a little while and decided to change the channel.
[Meanwhile in Washington DC]
It's a normal day, everyone is doing whatever they're doing they're doing. A man was standing in the sidewalk while looking around to see what people where doing and after looking around, he looked towards the World Bank.
He is dressed in a black suit with violet tie and neon colour sneakers. He's carrying a briefcase and he looks like a businessman.
He head towards the World Bank and walked in with like he works there. He scanned his key card and took an elevator to the top floor. Everybody was minding they're business and doing they're job.
A meeting was taking place in a boardroom of the world Bank. The meeting was about granting grants for the mutant and powered individuals, providing schools for the 'superhumans', provide advice and technical assistance to any countries for various development and et cetera.
There was a lot of arguments and disagreement but majority of the disagree about helping the freaks gaining advantage more. The were arguing back to back and while they were arguing, a man entered the boardroom.
"Sorry I'm late, got stuck at the traffic" he said while taking his seat.
Everybody in the boardroom looked at the man with confusion on they're face.
"Who are you?" Someone asked the question
"What? You forgot about me. I guess I'm becoming irrelevant" he said while opening his briefcase and took out a gun and shoot at the man who asked the question. The gun had a suppressor on.
Everybody in the room started to freak out and even trying to run away but he just tapped his gun on the table to stop everyone.
"Come down will you. The guy had something important to do, so he left. All of you sit down and let's talk" he said to everyone with a straight face.
Everybody in the room was afraid but they still did what he said.
"Okay. Since everyone has sat down, let's all introduce ourselves. I'll start with myself... I'm The Director of Chaos, Frown Mask. Next" Frown said that as he pointed to the next person
"I'm...the... Governor... Dr. Helena Mwangi"

"I'm.the... Alternate Governor, Rafael Ortega"
"You look like a man who steal from the poor and give to none. Next"

"Pierdol się, how are you doing? We'll talk later, next?"
"I'm Senior Advisor, Dr Amina Doumbia"
"Another 'woman' who's educated,next"

"Oh, he's dead. Can someone tell me who he was?"
"He was the Advisor, Jacob Steinberg" said Rafael
"He was American, no wonder he was arrogant, next"
"I'm the President of the World Group, Isabella Laurent"
"Oh, a hot lady is the president. I thought Nibor over the was the president but do you wanna go out some time later?"
"I'm sorry but I'm married"
"Oh, what are the odds, I'm married too. So, how about you don't tell your hus and I won't tell my wife, we can have our Casanova?"
"I don't think my schedule will allow it and besides you're always busy"
"You're right about that. We'll continue later, next please"
"I'm the Corporate Secretary, Daniel Kennedy Mensah"
"Oh, I don't like you and I don't know why. Next"
"Vice President of Africa Region, Chiamaka Obi"
"Which side?"
"Excuse me sir but what do you mean?"
"Which side of Africa do you originate from?"
"Nigeria sir"
"You must have lived in America for quite sometime for you to lose your accent"
"It's probably because I'm dating African-American sir"
"Oh, that explains it. Be careful around them, Next"
"Vice President of South Asia Region, Arjun Desai"
"The Bright Lord of the Land"
"You know what my name means"

"Vice President: Sustainable Development, Dr. Sofia Richter"
"Great, another 'woman' who's educated. Since we all introduced ourselves, let's get this meeting going"
After everyone introduced themselves, they all went quite and did know what to say until Daniel said something.
"Can I ask what is this 'meeting' all about?"
"Now I know why I don't like you, You're boring. This 'MEETING' is about how much money you'll give me."
"Excuse me but what do you mean by that?" Said Isabella in confusion
"Oh Bella, you're so cute acting all oblivious" Frown said as he smiled towards Isabella.
"I don't know what you mean. Probably everyone here doesn't know what you mean"
"WHAT!? I made an appointment two weeks ago. Did everyone forget my appointment?" Frown said as he opened his briefcase. He checked his Diary book and sigh
"By appointment, do you mean the bank robbery you talked about?" Daniel said to frown and everyone suddenly remembers it
"That's right but it's not a robbery."
"But you're taking money from the bank with f...." Frown shot Daniel in the middle of the forehead and everyone shivered.
"You talk too much. I'm withdrawing the money. I'll like to call it 'Unauthorised Withdrawal'."
Everyone said nothing and continue to stay quiet. Frown looked at everyone with a smile on his face and continued
"I let you decide how much money you'll give me. If I'm satisfied with the money, I'll leave and if I'm not satisfied with the amount?"
He paused and looked at everyone, one by one while scratching his head with a gun. He continued to say.
"I'll take every amount the World Bank has while eliminate some of you. So you better decides quickly, my wife is waiting for me to come back with a milk"
Everybody looked at frown after he said that like he's crazy or psychopath until they looked at Isabella for answers.
Isabella took time thinking about what he said. She thought for a couple of minutes(2-5 minutes, give-or-take) until she looks at Frown.
"So have you decided how much money you'll give me, Madam President?" Frown said as he looks at Isabella and she nodded.
[New York, Manhattan: 3rd POV]
It's Scott's Penthouse. It's evening.
Scott just finished taking a bath and now he's tending to his would while Sarah is just watching some TV. Scott finished tending to his wounds and getting ready to prepare dinner.
While Scott was preparing dinner, he kept asking Sarah if there's anything wrong with her ability. Sarah answered him and she thought she no longer had the ability until she realised that she can control it but not perfect control since some poison is leaking when she tries to control it.
They kept talking about her ability until Scott realised that he got a test Monday. He remembered that Sarah was on the run for 3 years so she probably never went to school in those years. Scott told Sarah that he'll teach her about school things tomorrow or any day while he studies.
Scott finished preparing dinner and served Sarah her plate. Scott decided to sit down and eat while watching TV.
While both Sarah and Scott were watching TV, a sudden news channel popped up.
[Sorry to disturb your program but there's important issue to be addressed. The following news may or may not be suitable for for children.]
After that announcement was made, Sarah and Scott both froze for a short while. The transition changed on the TV to a black screen until someone appeared to be holding the face of the camera.
[Is this on?
=Yes it's on.
Are you sure cause I don't want to appear as a fool whose wife is sleeping with his son?
=What? I didn't hear that. The camera is on and LIVE right not]
(A/N: = means a Background Voice or Voice that isn't visual in the TV. # means highlights that appears on the TV or Social Media hashtags. * Means sounds effect)
[Why didn't you tell me it's on you fool?
=But I di..
Shush! Let's get back to the topic. Ahem Ahem
Hello Beings Alike, it's Frown speak if you haven't caught on. Some of you might say 'it was getting at the good part'. We'll you're right about that. I've got some good news and great news but to the government is bad news and worst news.
The good news is all people living in America got a share of $2 billion. Told you I ain't stingy right?
The great news is... What is great news again?
=Bank. You were going to talk about bank
Yeah but that is still good news. Great news is something like me bombing the Whitehouse, killing the president and make America presidentless cause they suck
=That's not great news.
To you it ain't great news
Let's address that news then
The great news is it's a boy. We're expecting a boy
=Address the... *Bang*
Oh, you were saying? I forgot the dead don't talk.
Anyway, where was I? Oh, the great news]
Sarah and Scott kept watching the TV. They listened to the rambling of Frown and how he shot one of his guys. He kept talking about his life and things that happened which didn't interest Scott and Sarah but they listened anyway because he was on every channel.
[Oh yeah, the great news is I kept my promise and robbed the World Bank. Didn't expect that, did you?
Are You Disappointed?]
