People watch in the city street as a building is engulfed in flames. Sirens blare in the distance. Inside the building, A boy and his mother run to the door, but a piece of burning debris traps them in their room. They looks around as pieces fall around them; eventually, the ceiling above them starts to cave in. They both shut their eyes and brace for it. Nothing happens.

Young Boy: [Slowly opens his eyes, seeing someone standing in front of them] ...Who are you?

They see a being made of fire, holding the ceiling debris above their heads.

Heatblast(Ben): [Grunts] I'm here to help.

Heatblast throws away the debris and extends his hands; all the fire in the room gets absorbed by them. Heatblast turns around and motions to come with him. The boy is less afraid to follow than his mom. Heatblast looks to some stairs leading down.

Heatblast(Ben): This way! [The stairs collapse] Er, on second thought... [He looks to a barred-up window] That way.

Heatblast shoots a hole around the window. The people outside watch as a tornado of fire exits the hole and touches straight down to the ground. It disperses, and Heatblast, the boy, and the mother are all okay. The crowd gasps.

Heatblast(Ben): I'm sure you all want to thank me personally, but really it's all in a day's work for- [Noticing the kid holding three trading cards, gasps] No way! A gold Sumo Slammer Card! (kneeling down) Where'd you get it? I've been looking all over for that!

Young Boy: I-It was a prize inside a box of "Sumo-Smack Cereal".

The Rust Bucket pulls up and honks at Heatblast, with Gwen yelling out the window.

Gwen: Yo, Super-Doofus! The fire was just a diversion to cover up a jewelry store robbery. The bad guys are getting away!

Heatblast looks from Gwen, to the cards, and back to Gwen.

Heatblast(Ben): Er- I knew that.

Y/n: [Pops head out the window] If you knew, then why are you asking a kid where he got a gold Sumo Slammer Card?

A car speeds through the city street, with two masked thieves inside. As Grandpa Max drives the Rust Bucket behind them,, he sniffs something burning and looks to the Pyronite sitting next to him.

Max: 'Knew I should've bought those asbestos seat covers when I had the chance.

Heatblast(Ben): Sorry Grandpa, I can't help it. I'm hot...

Gwen: [Blasts Heatblast with a fire extinguisher] Ugh. Ten superheroes on that stupid watch and you picked the one with the flaming butt?!

Heatblast(Ben): Jealous?

Gwen huffs and sprays Heatblast again. He dodges it this time. Heatblast leans out the side window and shoots a ball of fire towards the car. It hits them and sends the car spinning out of control.

Heatblast(Ben): Stee--rike!

Robber #1 screams as their car crashes into a wall. As they recover, Heatblast walks up to them and rips the car door right off.

Heatblast(Ben): Unless you punks want a permanent sunburn, [Bending the door with his bare hands] HANDS AGAINST THE WALL!

The robbers look at each other and walk out the car, doing as he says.

Heatblast(Ben): [The watch starts flashing red] You punks picked the wrong day to be bad-

He transforms back into Ben.
