Mathew was laying in his bed, absentmindedly scrolling through the news, looking for anything of note. At the moment it was nothing but sports, cooking, and scam ads for products. Man his algorithm sucked. As he refreshed the page for the umpteenth time this morning, an article caught his eye.

NOTORIOUS VILLAIN RAZOR LEAF CAUSES PRISON BREAK.

He clicked on the article as he felt his heart sink. He knew that at the moment he was safe where he was, but at the same time this was Razor Leaf they were talking about. Mathew shivered as a chill ran up his spine. Razor Leaf was a supervillain known for his use of vines to wreck havoc across the city, kinda like if Doc Ock's appendages came out of his neck/head area instead of his back. Mathew and his brother had previously taken him down during their big break into the public consciousness, but a previously unknown villain in a gas mask going by Vampa had caused a distraction that'd let him get away.

Mathew stretched as he slid out of bed before making his way to his brother's room. The apartment was starting to feel more familiar since the move, but it was still weird to not be living in the same house as their parents. It was for the best though, they'd all agreed this was for the best to keep everyone's identities safe.

"Alfred, you there?" he said as he knocked on the door.

"frrph mrrrh mrnph"

"What?" He really didn't want to yell. "It's about Razor Leaf." but it turned into more of a whisper yell.

Behind the door there was an annoyed "mhph." followed by an Alfred sized thunk.

Mathew took a deep breath as he waited. He heard the noises of bedding hitting falling off the bed, plus some creaking of floorboards. The door swung open, revealing the worst case of bed hair he'd seen in a while from his brother.

"Dude you really need to be louder..."

"I'm trying..." Mathew rolled his eyes. "Not my fault you have hearing damage" he muttered under his breath.

"What were you saying about raising beef?"

"I said it was about Razor Leaf, and he's been spotted again."

"Why didn't you say that earlier we need to go!"

The 2 brothers walked over to a seemingly empty stretch of wall. Alfred was speedwalking towards it, while Mathew trailed behind him.

"Ready?" Alfred said, flashing a grin.

Mathew smiled, "Ready."
