"Man, I wish I was a better cook," Daniel said as he finished his dinner. As he was cleaning up he suddenly heard a fire burning outside. "Hey," he yelled out the window, "Fires are expressly forbbiden in these woods, put it out. NOW!" the fire suddenly grew larger as it engulfed the area surrounding the cottage. Daniel began to panic as he saw what was happening, knowing his research would burn down if the cottage went up in flames. He also knew that his S-Tech weaponry wouldn't help either. Suddenly, the fires were gone as if they had never been there. "I can't believe you fall for that every single time." Jason said laughing hysterically as he walked up, banging the cottage's wooden walls with his fist. "Ha ha, very funny Jason. Please revert to your regular form before you come in, as your hair will burn down the cottage if you don't." As they walked in to the cottage, a young boy seemed to materialize in front of them, "You're getting faster." Jason stated.<br/><br/>Turning his attention back to Daniel, he voiced what John had been thinking. "Why did you call us here, anyway?" "Two reasons come to mind." John said "One is that he has some sort of new tech to show us. The second would be that he has found the location of the Demented Destroyers' base." Daniel looked at him, speechless for a moment, amazed at how close he was to the right answer. After recovering from his daze, he spoke up. "I do not know the location to their hideout, but I do know where he entered it from the last time he disappeared. And as for the new S-Tech you think I built, that wretched billionaire Tony Stark was able to create and patent it before I could make it work." He slammed his fist on the table in anger. "He is always one step ahead of me." He then mumbled something under his breath that would have made even a sailor squeamish.<br/><br/>"Could you watch your language around the kid? You don't want him hearing that kind of stuff, especially if he's going to repeat it." Jason said, scolding Daniel. "I'll be more careful next time." Daniel said apologetically, "But just so you know, the tech was a pair of rocket boots so that you could get around more quickly." As the words sunk in, Jason was looking angrier by the minute. "That's it, I am going to Stark Tower to<span style="text-decoration: underline">demand</span>that he give me a pair of those boots!" Jason exclaimed, enraged. "I had better go with you," John said, transforming into Lightningman. "I could always manipulate the electricity in his armor to make it malfunction if he didn't listen to us." And as quickly as he had come, Lightningman vanished, carrying the Living Flame with him. "Now then, back to my research." Daniel said, as if nothing had happened.
