There is an explosion and the door to the heroes top secret HQ is gone. Enter The Chicken Tickler and Dragon Fly hovering on a board behind her.
The Chicken Tickler: Ha! At last we have found your secret hideout! Prepare to be destroyed!
The Urinater: Sponge fingers? Is that you?
The Chicken Tickler: Don’t call me that! I am The Chicken Tickler!
The Pink Fairy: [Moves the feathers to one side with his wand] Oh my GOD! It is you! Sponge Fingers! We all thought you’d died! What
happened?
The Chicken Tickler: [Aggressively knocking the wand from his hand] I told you not to call me that! I got sick of mopping up after you lot [turns angrily towards The Urinater] Especially you! Also, Big Mamma Offers Dental!
Green Man: Really? Dental? What’s her policy on the environment? [He is hit on the side of the head with a rock cake] Sorry, I mean How could you betray us like that?!
The Dragon Fly; [Hovers in front of The Chicken Tickler] Enough of this nonsense, prepare to die!!! [He pulls out a tiny gun]
Germ Girl: [Scoffing] Please! I’ve seen cocktail wieners bigger! The Urinater will destroy you. [She promptly steps to one side giving The Urinater room to aim, there is a long pause, nothing happens. She turns, in an audible whisper] What are you waiting for? Blast him!
The Urinater: [Shifting uncomfortably] I’ve just been though…
The Dragon Fly: Haha! What will you do now Heroes?! Where’s your secret weapon?
Boobilicious: [Entering through what was the door] Right here buzzy! [She twirls her tapemeasure whip and knocks him from his board, he hits the ground with a heavy thump]
The heroes fly into action. Katie Cakes hurls a Victoria Sponge at The Chicken Tickler temporarily blinding her.
The Pink Fairy: We’ve got to move, now, more minions will be close behind, that tracking device will have led them straight to us. It’s no longer safe here.
Scene: A dark alley behind a rough pub. There are drunks bustling in and out and the heroes are huddled together discussing their next move.
Germ Girl: Booblicious! I can’t believe you’re here! You saved us! [Turning to the others: effusively] She trained me when I was first starting out!
The Urinater: Me too!
Green Man: [snorts] Hehe, boobies.
Germ Girl: I thought you’d retired?
Booblicious: A true hero never retires, just rests. I was just stopping by for a cuppa really, when I heard the ruckus and thought perhaps I could help. [turning to The Pink Fairy in an audible whisper] Whose Tall, Dark and Brooding over there?
The Pink Fairy: Oh, Boobilicious, meet Green Man, (he’s more of an anti hero really).
Green Man: [Snorts again] Hehe, boobies.
Boobilicious: Pleasure I’m sure. So, anti-hero, sounds exciting, like Batman?
Green Man: [Angrily] Nothing like Bloody Batman!
The Pink Fairy: He’s sensitive.
Boobilicious: And brooding… mmmm…
Katie Cakes: Sorry to interrupt the girl talk ladies, but I think we should be coming up with a plan about now? Don’t you?
Germ Girl: You know who we need.
The Urinater: We can’t, since Big Mamma outed her she wants nothing to do with us, you heard what she said.
Germ Girl: That’s why it’s perfect, Big Mamma would never suspect us going there, we’d be safe.
The Urinater: Not from her razor tongue if she doesn’t want us there… she might be mean too us… Remember when she made that super villain cry?
The Pink Fairy: [Patting The Urinater on the back reassuringly] She sent us away to protect our identities. She’ll help us now, we could always rely on her for that.
Green Man: Who are you talking about?
Germ Girl: We’ll explain on the way, come on!
All exit SL.
