Gerard's POV

We arrived outside of Bob's pool house and noticed that no one was inside there. Well, they at least weren't in the kitchen area or the living room area. They could've been in the bedroom, or maybe they were out there trying to rig shit for us so that we'd slip up and they'd be able to kill us.

"Hold on a sec," Erica told me, disappearing and becoming invisible. Suddenly I heard the lock on the front door to the pool house click as Erica reappeared.

"How did you--?"

"I stretched my hand through the open window and opened the door. Now, get ready to set everything up," she spoke. My job was to set up 3 cameras throughout the pool house and then set up one outside. I remained invisible as I followed Erica into the pool house, continuing to follow her to see where Bob and Ray were. We reached the bedroom and saw them both sleeping on the double bed, Ray's arm draped over Bob's. I stifled a giggle, snorting, before Erica shot a death glare in the general direction of where I was hovering.

"Whatever," I whispered to her, before going and setting up the cameras. I figured may as well do it now while the dipshits were asleep.

With Erica's help, we got two cameras set up in the living room and the one set up outside their front door. We just needed to set up one in the bedroom. I didn't think a bedroom one was necessary, cause what if Bob really was gay and really was having sex with Ray? I didn't want to witness villain-sex.

"I have a plan to get them out of the room so that you can get in there and install the camera. We're gonna install it no matter what Bob and Ray might get up to," Erica hissed.

"What's your plan?" I asked her as she morphed her belly slightly.

"BOB! RAY! I came to visit-- Whoa! I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were sleeping intimately," Erica said loudly, me hovering invisibly behind her.

Immediately, Bob and Ray awoke, looking startled. Bob quickly pushed Ray away from him, Ray landing on the floor beside the bed.

"Ricky! I am so pleased to see you. I wasn't-- Oh my god! You have a baby bump!" he exclaimed, making her grin.

"Yeah! Come out here, I wanna catch up on everything!" she exclaimed excitedly. She was doing such a wonderful job of being enthusiastic considering we were eventually gonna bring her cousin down.

"Ok," Bob said, getting off the bed and following Erica out of the room. Ray slowly got up off the floor and followed the other two out to the living room.

"We were gonna be making the world a better place soon, but now that you're here, I think we can put off our plans for another day," Bob spoke as I got to work in installing the last of the cameras.

"Oh? What were your plans gonna be?" Erica asked.

"We were gonna find out a way to find out the secret identities of the superheroes," Ray explained.

"Oh wow! How were you planning on doing that?" Erica asked.

"That's where we're stuck. We were planning on trying to take over the Mayor's office to see if he had any government websites or something. And we were also thinking of setting things up so that we could follow them home without them realizing. But it's difficult considering two of them can turn invisible. But if we can isolate The Skeleton or that fucked up version of Mr. Bean's teddy bear and make them have to walk home, then we can follow them back to their house," Bob spoke. God, things were getting dangerous now.

"What if the heroes have done a similar thing and know who you are and know where you live?" Erica questioned. There was silence.

"You think they're smart enough to do that?" Bob questioned.

"They've knocked you up pretty bad in the past so yeah, I think they are," Erica spoke confidently.

"Well they haven't come and taken us yet, so I don't think they know where we live," Bob replied.

"Yeah," Ray said, agreeing. I finished installing the camera before hovering out of the bedroom and over to Erica's side, giving her three taps on the shoulder like she had told me to do before we started this operation.

"Well, anyway, I have to go. You know, in less than a week's time, Mikey's gonna be moving in with me, just like you wanted," Erica explained.

"Good, he's the father of your kid. He needs to be in your life all the time," Bob replied. Suddenly Erica's face changed to one of sadness.

"Bob, maybe you should give up this super-villaining. Maybe you should go and find yourself a nice, well-paid job and move back out of your Mom's house and find a woman and settle down with her somewhere and have a family of your own," Erica suggested. Bob looked at her, ashamed.

"Why do you suddenly disapprove of my work? I'm trying to make our lives better," Bob said.

"But the rest of the city are against you. I don't want you to die or something Bob," Erica said.

"I won't die," Bob stated.

"But if you do, then who's gonna be the godfather of my baby?" she asked. Bob sighed and wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm not gonna die. Dr. Krustallos will win."

"Please Bob, give up the idea of taking over the city," she pleaded, tears in her eyes.

"Sorry Ricky, no can do."

Erica left Bob's pool house in tears, me hovering behind her. We then walked a couple of blocks before I wrapped my arms around her, turning her invisible as I flew us back to my apartment. As we returned, I noticed that she was still crying.

"I thought that maybe if I could talk him out of it, we wouldn't have to kill him," she spoke as I hugged her.

"What the fuck have you done to my woman?" Mikey asked me, walking into the living room and seeing a crying Erica in my arms.

"She tried to talk Bob out of being a bad guy. He wouldn't have a bar of it," I explained as Mikey took over from me and began to comfort his girlfriend. I went to my room and got changed out of my Ninja costume. As I finished getting dressed into my normal clothes, I received a video message from Frank.

Sorry I replied so late. I didn't have time to send this before.

Oooh, I knew what this was and I knew that I was gonna have so much fun with it!
