Chapter 37: A Day Off
All of Pantheon was in today, and dressed in their costumes as Myth explained their newest mission that would be starting soon.
"In a few day's time, our team will be heading down to Oleander's mall." Myth tapped at a whiteboard that he had set up in the middle of their base's main room. On the board, it had very bad stick figures that had been drawn on it, as well as dozens of symbols of money. "Every year or two, Oleander holds a charity event, and this year, we're going to be invited. It's important that we are on our best behavior and show ourselves off to the public."
"We've been seen by people before, though, haven't we?" Snowdawn asked.
"Not like this." Cinder let out a nervous chuckle. She had been to a few of these charity events before. They were always packed with a lot of people, and it was the best way to get things signed. It was a little odd to think in just a few days she'd be one of the heroes on stage that people would gawk at.
"Things like this suck." Battery sighed and reached for a pack of cigarettes in his belt but found nothing. He shot a look at Whisper, who sheepishly handed them back to him.
"It won't be that bad." Whisper snorted. "We just stand around for a bit. Sure, it'll be hot, and there will be a ton of eyes on us judging our every move, and it'll be loud, and bad guys will likely try and pull some stunt, and-"
"You're not helping," Snowdawn said flatly.
"So what happens until the day of the event," Battery asked, changing the subject as he turned to look back at his boss. "Crime has been strangely quiet, and we haven't done anything since the incident a few days ago. Do you have anything planned?"
Myth shook his head. "The Sub Enforcers are going to be doing patrols for the next few days. They want to get a head start on the publicity so we don't have to worry about anything."
"So we are just free until the day of the event?" Cinder asked sheepishly.
Myth smiled and nodded his head. "Yep. Go ahead and take these next few days off. Catch up on school work and whatever else you need to do. It's going to be a day of relaxation for us for the next few days."
