Raide Labs- 10:00 A.M.
Marek Raide had just pulled up to the entrance gate of his lab, Stopping to show the young security guard his badge proving that he was in fact Dr. Marek Raide, owner and Head scientist of Raide Labs. "Have a good day sir" The young male security guard called. "You too" He replied cheerfully, he was glad to finally be back after a short weekend vacation with his wife Lily, They'd gone to Crestwater beach a bout two hours away, where they had a small family beach house. While he was glad to be back be in Riverwood, He had to admit, that they'd had both enjoyed the getaway.
As he pulled closer into the lot, Marek's was surprised to see so many trucks with a VT logo. David Lane was waiting at the front entranceway, and intentionally marched to greet Marek with a hand shake. "Hello Marek how are you" He boomed as. guards watched the interaction between the two men carefully I hope you enjoyed your vacation, if you don't mind, I'd like you to show me how you operate things here at Raide Labs" "Ah Yes, good to see you Mr. Lane, Follow me, I hope this partnership wont be a waste". He remarked as the two walked calmly into the sleek entranceway into Dr. Raide's masterpiece of scientific discovery.
Riverwood High School- 11:50
The school day seemed quite slow, The bell had just rang, and Danny and Adam had just gotten out of Mr. Stevenson's biology lab. The two of them were on their way to lunch when Kate and her clique of friends turned the corner and joined the two. Kate distanced herself from her giggling group of friends, to join the boys. "Hey Danny, Adam, hoes it going?" "Oh hey Kate" Adam spoke up "It's going pretty good, i'm tired though" "yeah, how's Kasey?" "Good, we've been very busy, hanging out almost every other day her parents just got back from a vacation." Danny's perked up a little "Oh really" He muttered" He contemplated something in his mind. Just got back from a vacation, So Viper Tech was moving in while Mr. Raide was away, what could they need to do there? "Yeah, and her birthdays next week we were-" Then as if on cue Kasey marched right up next to Adam.
"Hey Kasey, we were just talking about you" Kate exclaimed. Kasey glanced at her "Hey Danny" she said cheerfully " Hi Kate" she scowled "I'd Prefer that you didn't talk to Adam about me behind my back, I can't deal with this right now. I've got a headache, probably because of the weather, and I think it's gonna rain. C'mon Adam lets go!" "Kase- It's not- nevermind" Adam tried to explain as Kasey snatched his hand and sulked away.
Geez, rude" Kate remarked as she realized Danny was still there "Dan? you ok, you've been pretty quiet lately, that's not like you" Dan perked up again "Oh, yeah I'm fine just...thinking about stuff, zoned out a little" "Ok, well let me know if you need to say something, that's what friends are for" Kate replied, trying to be supportive "Ok," Danny replied back, he knew she meant well, but he didn't think it was a good idea to share what he was thinking about during Kasey's outburst.
Riverwood City- 4:45
Sam Lane was doing a flight test in his new upgraded suit. Soaring above the city feeling the fresh air.
This was all a secret, unbeknownst to either of his parents, He couldn't let them know he was VIPER. even with other heroes on the loose, His dad definitely would definitely dismantle the suit, and give it to the development team as spare part, he'd probably be told to work to develop more suits, to "help the company", but it wasn't what he wanted. He just knew His dad would be grounding him for a long time, and taking away his equipment if he'd found out too. His mom would probably say something like "You shouldn't be doing this, Sam, leave protecting the city to your dad and his security force"
Even with these doubts in his mind, he was enjoying himself immensely as he sped past skyscrapers and city streets, and Sam was glad to have some freedom to view the city from a new perspective. Even if it was starting to rain.
