Chapter 33: Another World
"So basically, when I first got my powers, I had been jumped by a couple of Bad Timer goons." She explained to the crowd, folding her arms. "At that time, one of them said something. They mentioned their base being nearby and questioned if we knew where it was. Plus, they had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, so I just assumed that their base was in that area. Any questions?"
Wasp Nest raised his hand. "Just one. Why the hell are we just now hearing about this?"
"I sort of thought everyone knew." She sheepishly said. "I didn't think the men would just casually mention it, so it must have been basic knowledge."
"Well, it wasn't." BB remarked, stomping her foot down. "And now, because of you, we're out in this heat zone!"
"Want me to cool you off?" Snowdawn asked, raising his arms up and causing a cool stream of snow to rain down that made BB and Oxide sigh happily.
"Now, now let's not blame Cinder." Myth said trying to calm everyone down. "It isn't her fault; she's sometimes a dumbass."
"Hey!"
"Don't 'hey' us, kid." Battery grumbled. "Can't defend you on this blunder. This was pretty big info that could have come in handy a while ago."
It was kind of weird seeing so many heroes in one place. Battery, Myth, Snowdawn, Whisper, Wasp Nest, Metal Ronin, BB, Oxide, and Money Tree. Both Sub Enforcers and Pantheon had teamed up for today. Counting herself, that made for a total of ten heroes. Poseidon and Paragon had to head back to Lillian and would return sometime later, so they were sadly down their big powerhouse and healer.
All ten of them stood on the beach, in front of the massive scrapyard maze where she had first gotten her powers. Nearly a full month had passed since that incident. It had been at this spot that one of the goons of Bad Timers had let it slip; the base was nearby, or at least one of their bases.
Despite that, though, the others seemed unconvinced. "Is there really a Bad Timer base here?" BB questioned folding her arms. There weren't any buildings, and while the maze of junk was rather large and filled with walls, it was still right out in the open, with no roof or anything to provide cover. It didn't seem like the place a gang would willingly hide their big players.
