Sidekicks ch 13-20

 Ch 13 page 140

They put on the super suits.  Anna's has nipples.  This is 2020.  I should be able to say "this is unacceptable" and keep a straight face.  But the systemic sexist, racist, homophobia, etc. Seems to be getting worse.

Anyway, they go out to prowl the streets.  They see some thugs up to no good.  they're up on top of a four story building.  Randy decides to jump down.  It goes badly.  Anna slides down a drain pipe.  Sam takes the stairs.  They mess up the thugs with their super suit powers.

Ch 14 page 152

They're eating, or getting ready to eat.  The conversation quickly moves to Sam's power.  He is a God.  He can do pretty much anything he puts his mind to.  But he can't really control it.  When he starts talking about the ti me Nazi tortured him and he gets angry and.the tables behind him start floating and bending and melting into goo and when the goo hits the floor it evaporates.  Sam leaves and finds a super hero museum.  Nazi follows him and they have a heart to heart talk.  Sam uses his powers to throw a knife at Nazi then he uses them to throw the knife at a wall and at the same time turns it into a frog.

Ch 15 of 166

Anna comes into Sam's room with wine and they talk about their feelings.  Things start to get romantic and physical and Randy interrupts them.  Chuck wants to celebrate.  They do so with whisky because Anna already drank the wine.  Randy has one shot and passes out.  He comes to and says something about communing with the butterflies. Anna really thinks Randy should be kicked off the team.  She's seriously worried he's gonna get himself killed and also them in the process.  Sam is more worried Nazi is gonna turn evil and kill them.  Chuck checks on Nazi's whereabouts and starts to tell Sam Nazi's story.

Ch 16 page 183

Chuck shows Sam Nazi's room And how he's learning about the people he killed to try to pay tribute to them.  It seems like he feels bad for what he's done.  Sam thinks of it like this, if Nazi is a weapon developed by Hitler them is he any more responsible for the people that died than the knife or gun that was used?  Randy wakes up Sam at four am.  He says his butterflies have found beef chief and he and Sam have got to take him out.  They go get Anna too.  She says she hates them, but she goes along with it.  There's gun stuff with Randy saying he had butterflies do all sorts of stuff.  They get to the main door and when it opens up Nazi is there.  He's all, let's get going, the cameras won't stay off forever, making the point that he did all the things that Randy claimed the butterflies did.
