Plot bunnies are strange creatures, they come from nowhere causing chaos, distracting people of their main stoires and making them think of other possibilities, but sometimes thinking about other things isn't so bad so I decided to hunt those plot bunnies and put them in a place where they can be safely watched, hope you like them.

Normal week in a normal town.
Hopetown was like any other town in the world, it has its schools, hospitals, parks, police stations, dangerous evil lairs, secret hero headquarters and all other things that made towns normal towns. Like any perfectly normal town it has all kind of citizens, from the lovely elderly couple to that group of super heroes with power armor and don't forget the teenagers that try to find their place in the world… oh and the beastly abominations born from the nightmares of the more crazies of madmen, we can forget about those, yep, without any doubt Hopetown is was one the more normal towns in the world.
Why don't we see how is normal week in Hopetown? I'm sure it's going to be fun, now, now don't be shy, let's take a look.
Mondays in Hopetown are normal days, not everyone like them but people wake up anyways to go on their lives, like Marcus a normal 14 year old boy living a normal life. Like any Monday Marcus go to his usual routing –bathroom, put some clothes on and then breakfast- and of course never forgets to watch the new to hear all about the last monster attack, after all make sure that here isn't a cataclysmic event happening right now is the normal thing to do.
After saying goodbye to his parents –as a normal kid Marcus has two parents obviously- Marcus goes to the bus stop to wait for it alongside with his two best friends Jean and Tyler, normal kids like him, discussing about normal things.
"Hey Marcus!" Tyler greets. "How are you doing?"
Marcus smile while waving to his friends "All cool man, hey did you hear about the last attack? The Mechabeasts of the Doctor Engine always end destroying half of the city, it's so annoying, now they have to rebuild the arcade again!" The young man complained.
"Yeah, they almost destroy my mom shop too!" Was the answer of Jean, sounding more annoyed than angry.
"Is alright?" Marcus asked, with a little worry in his voices.
"Yep, luckily she wasn't there when it happen." Jean smile a little, appreciating the concert of her friend.
"Hey who do you thing would attack next? The Dark Evil Witch? or maybe the Radioactive Mutant Master?" Tyler excitement and curiosity clear in his voices.
"Uggh, I hope isn't the Mutant Master, his monster always stink" Jean was a little green from just remember the last attack.
"I don't know dude, the Mutant's monsters may stink, but the DEW's are all brainwashed people I think that's worse" Was the answer of Marcus.
"That's because you never had to clean one of the mutants disasters, the shop smell like rotten fish for weeks!" Jean said clearly frustrate.
And so the three friends continue their way to school talking about what kind of horrible beast would destroy their town this week, like any normal kids would do.
Tuesdays are quite simple days, the week is just beginning and people have much work to do, like Marshal, Marshal is a young journalist trying to find a grand new to tell to the people, but is very difficult to find an interesting story in such a normal town like Hopetown.
As of right now Marshal is in the location of the last monster attack, talking with his boss with his cellphone begging for another new, any other new! After all, monsters attack are so normal, he will never get his grand chance with this kind of stories.
"I'm telling you chief this is just like all the other times, a bunch of animals with cyborg parts trying to destroy a place just because it has something to do with dead animals, just like last time! Here's nothing exiting here, some people even say that they watched Force of Nature yawn while fighting them. Yawn!"
Marshal would do anything for something new and exciting to happen, maybe an interview with a hero, maybe the victory of a villain for first time in years, or maybe a police officer resolving a monster case without help from our super protectors, that would make some great news.
Unfortunately for Marshal, his boss wouldn't accept any of that. "I don't care if they saw her taking a nap! This is the only story that we have right now and you're going to follow it, I'm clear?"
"But boss-" was the only thing that the young man could say before being interrupted.
"I say, I'M CLEAR!?"
"…Yes boss" was the only thing that Marshal could answer.
"Good boy, now go and bring some pictures of monsters."
Poor Marshal, if only he could get some exciting new like some villains breaking the rule of only three masterminds by city, or a group of heroes of more than five members or even better a fire that have nothing to do with a monster's attack, that would make a great story without doubt, but sadly that kind of thing never happen in such a normal town like this.
Wednesdays, ah the middle of the week, not too bad of a day, nor too good, just a regular day for a regular town, this day Miss Sharon is teaching her little students vital information that will help them for the rest of their lives, like any other day of the week.
"Ok kids, if a monsters get near you to try kidnapped you, what must you do?" The diligent teacher asked.
The kids on the other hand weren't very eager to answer.
"Run for lives?"
"Take a picture?"
"…Past out?"
The teacher could help but sight at the answers of her students. "No, no, no, we had been through this before. When the monster begin to attack then you must find shelter in the nearest safe location, but if a monster is specifically looking for you then you must let them capture you and wait for one of the heroes to rescue you, because as we know…"
"Heroes always win" All the kids answered at the same time.
"Correct! Now we will see the 10 thing you can do to make sure the villains keep monologing and the heroes can win-" Miss Sharon was interrupted be one the young girls raising her hand. "Yes, Miss Daisy?"
"Excuse me miss, but, where is Rose? I hadn't seen her in all morning" the little asked with some concern for her friend.
Miss Sharon happy face becomes a frown. "I'm afraid that Miss Sullivan has been expulsed from this school, she was found bullying another kid yesterday."
All the kids were shocked by the news.
"Bullying?"
"How could she!?"
"That must be a lie!"
But sadly it wasn't and as everyone knows, to bully someone, to make another people feel miserable without any kind of excuse -making them easy prey for some villains to transform into monster- was a very serious offense, schools all around the world decided to adopt a zero-tolerance policy in this regard after the apocalypse number 34 or how is better known 'the ocean of tears' incident, in the end expulsion was the only logical thing to do for such a horrible act.
Thursday! The weekend is almost here and people can't wait for it, sadly for some people work never ends, like for poor nurse Mina, this week hasn't been nothing but work for her, and honestly the poor dear need a rest.
"Agh, I need a break!" The young woman could see the bags under her eyes in the mirror of the bathroom.
"We all need a break girl" Answer Lucy, one the senior nurses in the hospital, she had been through a lot of villains and monster, so she need a thing or two about how to stay calm under pressure.
"I had 9 and a half mutant patients this week Lucy, I think I will smell like trash and rotten eggs for the rest of my life!" she could keep with this kind of pressure, at less the mechabeasts were veterinarian's problems.
"Oh, you think that's bad? You would have to been in the apocalypse number 74, people cut in little cubes everywhere! And we have to put them back together like some kind of giant puzzle!" The stories that nurse Lucy could tell, they certainly aren't for the faint of heart.
"Really? How you managed?" Mina asked with a face of surprise, that really sounds like a lot of work.
"Well it was quite hard, but with a little patience and determination we put everything in the right place… I think, here was a lot of complaining about people with the wrong eye color, but," Lucy shrug. "What can you do? Now move it here's still work to do!"
Mina could just sight. "Aye aye ma'am."
"Now don't you get sassy with my little lady!"
What a lovely nurse, without doubt she will have a tough day, but such is the hospital work in this normal town.
Friday is finally here! The classes are over, most of the jobs are too, the citizens of Hopetown can enjoy of a little and well deserve rest, like Kelly, Kelly is going to spend all the night in club enjoying her freedom, or at less that was the plan.
Unfortunately when Kelly opens her eyes this morning she knew that her plan to go to a club and drink until pass out wasn't going to happen anytime soon, after all, you can go to drink inside a creepy dungeon… well you could but maybe isn't a good idea to drink anything that you could found in a dungeon.
"I can believe that I'm being kidnapped again! This had happen like a million times already!"
Time passed and poor Kelly was having a bad time. She was furious, frustrated and about anything else… bored, her cellphone had lost all its charge 1 hour ago –sure she have no signal, but she could use it for games- and she have nothing to do, until she begin to heard a voice in the entrance of the dungeon, a voice –and a smell- with she was very familiar.
"Ah Miss Kelly, we met again, with you here Natural Order won't have any choice but to come there to save you, and I, THE RADIOACTIVE MUTANT MASTER! Will finally have my-"
"Yeah, yeah, 'I will destroy you and all that' do you have a charger?" Some people may consider rude to interrupt a villain monolog, but Kelly was really boring and wanted to finish this as quickly as possible.
"Excuse me?"
"A charger, you know, for my phone?"
"…Oh! Certainly, actually here should be a charger near your bunk, a lot of people complain about having nothing to do when they were here, and never be say that the Radioactive Mutant Master is a bad host!"
"Found it! And the Wi-Fi password" Kelly asked, after all if she really was going to pass all weekend there may as well have something to distract herself.
"Ah right, Is 'TheNumber1Villian' now may I continue?"
"What? Ah, yeah whatever, knock yourself out."
"Thanks I will, now where was I? Or right, ahem, I THE RADIOACTIVE MUTANT MASTER will finally have my-"
Well I think we can leave those two alone they seems to be having fun, soon the villain will be defeated, miss Kelly rescued, and the hero may or not receive a 'reward' for they action, everything in a normal day of work.
And now Saturday the last day of the week, this day is full of so many interesting things! Like Mike and his friends going to the amusement park that is being attacked be the spirit of a little girl that got lost, or the first date of Jake and Lisa I hope that those mutants near be don't ruin it, or maybe we should check that huge black hole on top of the biggest building in the town!
So many choices and so little time! In fact… it seems that we're out of time, such a shame, oh well, I hope you had have fun seen this normal week in this normal town, until next time!
…Hmmm? What was that? Sunday? Oh don't be silly here hasn't been any Sundays since the apocalypse number 45 'The war of time vehicles' remember? But that's ok, a week of 6 days if the normal now.
