Today started like any other day.
I had no idea by the end of it, my life would be flipped turned upside down.
You see..
Being a superhero, isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Seriously?
Escpecially..
When you're the only human..
Sharing an apartment with immortals...
Welcome to our fortress.
I know it doesn't look like much, but that's only because people aren't supposed to live here.
Used to be a dry cleaner's or something..
Cheapest rent we could find.
***...
Today's the 1st.
Oh!
Geez, Dagr.
Blessed morning.
Is it by chance we meet or do you have other desires?
The shower's free if you need to freshen up first.
No, I just..
Hit my..
Oh, out of the blue, are you injured?
I got poked..
In the butt..
I didn't realize you were seeing someone.
Ha ha..
Right, well..
I'll just get out of your way then.
Uhh..
It was already like that.
You know it's too early.
I'm gonna get some coffee.
Right.
Whole milk, extra foam.
I am not your ***.
You're certainly not.
My wenches are endowed with far..
Fewer gifts than you.
Aha..
Until you come up with your part of the rent.
I own you.
I believe that's how it works on both our home worlds.
Extra foam?
Extra foam.
Dagr, here?
He's got part of the rent.
He's admiring himself in the bathroom.
Ugh!
So not fair, we actually have to work for a living and all he has do is flex while he changes some cougars tire.
Why are there flakes in here?
Hey, where's Luke, I thought you were both on patrol?
We split up.
Kilt Brothers tried to rob the Getty last night.
Mine's behind bars, he's probably dropping the other brother off now.
Or not?
Wait, did you just come in?
I've been here all night.
Hey, how did it go with the Kilts?
You mean Kilt?
Singular?
You said you'd handle it.
I said I'd handle him.
You were supposed to take the cute one.
Mr. Loper!
Hi!
Well, don't you look especially manly today.
I really like your shirt, it brings out the color of your eyes
You didn't make rent, did ya?
I can't keep covering for you guys.
My *** is on the line too.
We thought you owned the building?
I'm just the landlord.
Hey..
What happened to the TV?
Oh, ah.. It's nothing.. It.. Eh..
You know it still works.
See?
We have kilts in Holland too.
Not just Scottish.
Same with the bagpipes.
This accent?
Irish.
Haggis.
Scottish.
Guinness.
Irish.
Braveheart.
Irish?
Oh, for *** sake...
Just release my brother already.
If you don't..
I'll kill every idiot in here.
Starting with him.
You hold that will ya.
Once you get going on these, you can't stop.
What is the world coming to?
I never should have left New York.
At least they got Captain Southpaw looking out for them.
What have we got?
We got some chick with a bow and arrow.
And then there's that dude in the robot suit.
Heh, he doesn't even have powers.
And don't get me started on the boy scout.
He's not a boy scout, he's a trooper.
As in paratrooper.
Whatever.
The little guy.
So.. yeah, we are gonna get to work right now and we will get you your rent by the end of the day I promise you.
(Landlord) I just gotta pee.
Nope.. you.. your place is fine.
Dagr.
Hostage situation.
We're up.
With my suit out of commission.
The team had to go on without me.
But I can't imagine there were any surprises.
Hey!
Saw the news, the other Kilt's in custody
Everybody okay?
Yeah, great, perfect.
Yeah?
What's in there?
Oh, just parts for the suit.
Hoping to get it up and running in the next day or--
Why are you guys acting weird?
Well..
We were..
Eh..
Waiting for you.
So.. we could open Luke's care package.
From your mom?
Awesome!
Oh, may I?
Dear Lukey Luke.
Hope you're well.
The weather channel said you were in for a cold spill.
So I sent you a little something.
Your mother knows you're impervious to cold, right?
And that a cold spill means it would drop from 90 to 89.
You know how she is.
She worries.
She's still single.
Single's underlined in red ink like 3 times.
Aww.
So I was cleaning up and found something that belonged to your dad.
I think he would have wanted you to have them.
I know wherever he is..
That he is as proud of you as I am.
I love you, son.
Call me when you have time.
Love, mom.
Eh, hey guys
Why do we have blue prints to Clarke Industries?
Well, technically they're floor plans.
We didn't have them.
I mean, we have them now, but..
The Kilt Brothers had them on them.
Getty was a warm up for a bigger heist.
They were gonna hit your boyfriend where it hurts.
He's not her boyfriend.
The facts are vital to this discussion are they not?
They had it all worked out.
What a beautiful set up, actually.
The only flaw is that they're idiots.
Maybe if they had someone on the inside.
You know.. Who used to work there..
And knew the security...
What are you--?
Are you guys saying, that you think we should do the job?
He screwed you.
And then screwed you over.
He deserves payback.
No, no..
No way!
Penny's right.
That's not who we are.
No, we're losers who can't make our rent.
No, we are the good guys.
Yeah?
And what do we have to show for it, huh?
Oh, I know.
Medals..
Keys to the city..
Plastic.
What are we supposed to do with this?
We risk our lives every day protecting the people of this city and they couldn't care less.
We're taken for granted.
We really should get paid.
It's not a terrible idea.
We are not criminals.
But Clarke is.
He stole the suit from you.
Yes, and I stole it back.
So we're even.
Except he's sitting on billions, while you piece together the suit with scraps.
Think about it, Penny.
You could have your own workshop.
We could get out of this dump.
Find ourselves a kick-*** lair.
Base?
I mean.. I meant base.
Like all the other heroes have.
The East Coast Six?
They have a fortress.
And we..
Have this...
Clarke is gonna keep coming after you, until he gets his suit back.
Until he really is The Machine.
We need to protect ourselves.
By going against everything that we stand for?
No...
No, this is the dumbest that idea I've ever heard.
My roommates and I fight all the time.
But this was different.
It was 3 against 1 and I was the bad guy.
For arguing that we're the good guys.
I mean, I'm right.
..Right?
We're fine.
It was just a fight.
What about you? How are things at the shop?
Dad, what's wrong?
You know lawyers, honey.
They.. they...
They wanna get their hands on everything.
I thought that you said they would give you till the end of the year?
It's a for sale.
Not a lot we can do.
Says here that the deed of trust was transferred to a new owner.
New owner? What?
Dad, show me the letter.
Hold it up to the screen.
Don't do a thing.
I'll take care of it.
I'll call you later, okay?
Come after my family..
We'll see about that you son of a ***.
Here we come.
