"Oh wow, you took it out on your own." Sherry said bemused as they caught up to you.

"I-It was r-really scary", she stammered, breathing in and out deeply to calm herself. "I'm glad that it's over."

They nod and rub your back reassuringly.

Kobeni
"I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't react like that", she said apologetically as she got back up.

You go back to the office where Zigmar congratulates you for a job well done, and puts you on break until a new assignment comes up.
"Sweet let's go hang out in the basement." Sherry says leading you down to a massive wreck room complete with multiple vending machines, a pool table, dartboard, pinball machine, and a few couches.
"Hey, you guys take care of that monster?" A tubby man in black and white spandex says while wearing an 8-Ball Hemlet, and practicing bank shots at the table.
"You know it." Jenny said. "Kobeni, this here is Jimmy-Jack Hages, aka 8-Ball... He's another newbie."

Kobeni
"Sure... let's", Kobeni said with relief as she followed them over to the basement, glancing around with curiosity until she was introduced to Jimmy.
"A-Ah, hi. I'm Kobeni... Higashiyama Kobeni. N... Nice to meet you", she said, trying to sound relaxed. "...Um, may I ask... why 8-ball?"

"Because that's the name my Uncle used when he wore this suit." He said.
"He was a supervillain." Sherry explained. "Hey Jim, bet you 5 million Yen you can't beat Jenny and I... We don't have that much on us, we'll bet our clothes instead."
"You're on."
(Five minutes later)
"Well that sucks." A now naked Sherry and Jenny huff plopping on a couch.

Kobeni
Kobeni, who wasn't exactly an experienced pool player by any stretch of the imagination, had watched the whole challenge from start to end, sitting on the couch the two had plopped on after their defeat.
"I... don't understand. Why were you so eager to challenge him to it given that he's new and you didn't know how good he was at it? You seemed pretty confident to win", she asked, puzzled.

"He was the freaking nephew of a D-list supervillain." Sherry argued. "How were we supposed to know he'd be a pool shark."

Kobeni
"A... Ah... I dunno. I, I guess I'd be worried of challenging a guy whose concept is a pool 8 ball to a game of pool, is all", she said apologetically. "L-Like how I wouldn't challenge a cook to a cooking contest."

They both just shrug and sit watching TV.

about 35 minutes later you hear a call from Zigmar for you and the girls who conjure blankets to cover themselves before following you.
"Here's your new job." He said pulling up a picture of a common housecat wearing red and black spandex with a red ring on his tail.
"This is Dex Star, he's a red lantern with a bodycount a mile high. Word is he's been spotted on Earth in Japan causing all sorts of ruckus... You're job is to track him down and bring him into custody."

Kobeni
Kobeni was quite surprised a cute cat could have a bodycount and be wanted into custody by the authorities, but then again, she had the powers of dozens of alien species within her and had made a pact with a Devil. Stranger things and all that. Still, she paused.
"...Do we know where it is? Cause... the whole of Japan is kinda big."

"Follow the screams I guess." He said.
