## Plot

### The New World

Hilde begins to walk in the rain, alone. She sniffles, as cars pass by her on the streets. Meanwhile, in the Oxton Household, Zeke dries off his hair, annoyed that he got caught in the rain. Elizabeth tells him that the Prime Minister is awaiting him in the living room, and Zeke thanks Liz. Zeke finishes drying his hair, before heading downstairs. He sits down on the couch, as Mortimer tells Zeke that he's done a wonderful job finding recruits. Zeke mentions that there are only 4 members so far, and Mortimer tells Zeke that he should start travelling throughout the globe, since not a whole lot of people in Europe are willing to take his offer. Zeke asks Mortimer why they won't let anyone join them, and Mortimer tells Zeke to leave it alone, before leaving.

As Mortimer leaves, Arthur comes in and mentions that he'll get into contact with some of his fathers' old friends throughout South America, and Zeke asks Arthur how he heard everything. Arthur mentions that he has super-sensitive hearing. Zeke thanks Arthur for the offer, before they hear another ring at the door. Liz answers it, and mentions that Hilde came. Liz offers for Hilde to come inside, and Hilde comes in. Zeke asks her what happened, and Hilde mentions that her aunt and uncle are dead. Zeke sits down on the couch and hugs Hilde, telling her that they're in a better place. Arthur then began to ask how many people are on the team, and Zeke mentions that everyone is there. Zeke also mentions that he only has 3 days to find recruits for Mortimer's Team.

Arthur mentions that it takes a lot longer to travel the world, and Zeke mentions that Mortimer is letting him fly a personal jet, so he wouldn't have to wait in Airports. Hilde asks where he plans on going first, and Zeke mentions that he plans on going to Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and Brazil. Hilde then gets up and tells Zeke to be careful, as his family is the only people left that she still considers family. Zeke then mentions that he has to go pack, and asks her if she would like to help. Both Hilde and Zeke run upstairs, and Arthur tells Liz that she should probably put headphones in, and Liz reminds Arthur that John use to have a porn collection. In the Attic, both Zeke and Hilde begin to make out, and Hilde tells Zeke that she will await his return, before resuming to kiss.

### Around the World in 9 Hours

Zeke flies a two-manned Jet to Mexico City. Upon landing, he is escorted by the Mexican Military to the President's Home and told to wait in the lobby. Zeke began to read a book. He is then called in by President Sanchez, who tells him that he will not send a Mexican to England, as they are trying to stop illegal immigrants from entering the United States. Zeke then thanks President Sanchez for his time and leaves. Zeke then returns to the AirPort hangar, where he takes off on his jet. He lands in San Jose, Costa Rica. There, he reads another bookas he awaits his meeting with President Mora. President Mora tells him that he is too busy to think of sending a man to England, as he is busy trying to find men to stop the riots in San Jose.

Zeke thanks President Mora for his time, before leaving. Zeke's plane then lands in Panama City, Panama. There, he read yet another book as he awaited his meeting with President Fabrega. President Fabrega tells Zeke that he spoke to Minister Mortimer earlier, and that they've already found a guy. Then, an explosion occurs outside, and an assistant enters the office. She tells President Fabrega that the man they had just died. Zeke screams in disappointment. Zeke thanks the President for his time, before leaving aboard his jet. Zeke tells himself that if he doesn't find anyone in Brazil, he's quitting. Zeke then flies and lands in Brazil. He is told by the Brazilian Government that his plane will be kept safe in a hangar outside of Rio de Janiero until his return.

### January 18, 2023

Zeke thanks the Government official, before heading out on a jeep to Rio de Janiero. Zeke mentions that he's getting a little tired and rests. Zeke sleeps for hours, until the dawning sun shines on his eyes. He wakes up and gets ready. He walks through the streets of Rio, and eventually reaches a market street. He gets hungry and walks down the street. As he walks down the street, he is noticed by a cholo, who walks away. Zeke finds a restaurant and goes in. He tries to read the menu and asks if anyone speaks Spanish. A person behind the counter asks if he speaks English, and Zeke asks what's on the menu. Zeke decides to buy a kabob, and asks if the food is clean.

The person starts making Zeke a kabob, and Zeke purchases it. He eats it as he continues walking through the market street. Zeke begins to call the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Felipe Correia dos Santos begins to bargain with someone to buy some produce from "Albega Farms". He manages to sell some produce, before noticing that cholos are about to gang up on Zeke. As Zeke continues talking on the phone, a flash of light sends the Cholos flying. Zeke accidentally drops his kabob, and is left disappointed. Zeke notices that the light trails back to Felipe and approaches him. Zeke asks what he did, and Felipe tells Zeke that while he was talking, members of the Terceiro Commandos were going to gang up on him.

Zeke asks why, and Felipe mentions that they must've thought that he was American from how he dresses. Zeke mentions that he's from England, before being told to watch out. Zeke asks what he did, and Felipe whispers to him that he's a mutant. Zeke asks what he does for a living, and Felipe mentions that he's a Produce Seller. Zeke mentions that he's recruiting for a Superhero Team, and would wonder if he would like to enlist. Felipe mentions that he cannot do so, and Zeke mentions that he could be paid handsomely by the British Government. Felipe tells Zeke that he'll take time to decide, and Zeke mentions that he'll be waiting till midnight, till he flies to the United States.

### Dois homens contra o exercito ilegal (Two Men Against the Illegal Army)

As Zeke leaves, a Cholo gets up and runs away. Zeke then picks up his kabob and decides to eat it. He ends up spitting it out though. He contacts Altair Barros, and alerts him about the 'American'. Altair tells the cholo to take him to the warehouse. The cholo tells Altair that the job will be done. Zeke continues to walk down the streets of Rio, and meets some children playing Football. He tells the boys that he knows how to play, and begins to play with them. He impresses the children, who asks where he's from. Zeke mentions that he's from London, England. Zeke mentions that he hears that the Brazilians are suppose to fight against the British in the World Cup soon, and tells the boys that if they want to become Footballers, they can make it.

The boys thank Zeke, as Zeke continues to play with them. One of the childrens' mother tells Zeke to get away from her children, and Zeke tells the boys goodbye. Zeke then heads back to the Hotel near the Redeemer Statue. He enters his room and lists down Felipe as a possible candidate. Zeke then changes out of his clothes and heads to the Swimming Pool. He asks for an Iced Tea, as he begins to read yet another book. He is given his tea, and he gives the waitress a tip, before sipping on the Tea. Back in the market, Felipe notices some cholos approaching several stands within the market and steal food. Felipe then uses his power to send the Cholos flying and return the food to their respected stands.

Felipe tells everyone they shouldn't steal from those who can't defend themselves. The cholo mentions that he didn't know that Bullet Man protected the Market, before running off. Felipe tells the men that they better run off, before returning to his stand. Lucio I arrives to the market and tells his father that he shouldn't expose himself like that, and Felipe tells his son that with him around, they shouldn't worry. Lucio I mentions that both Sunspot and Captain Brazil are off fighting the Balorian Invaders in Northern Brazil. Felipe mentions that if the invaders were really a problem, the Brazilian Government would've had him go aid in defending their borders. Back in the Hotel, Zeke finishes his team and heads into his room to rest.

As he rests, a few cholos break into his room and stick him in a body bag. They drag him down and stuff him in a car, as the waitress watches in shock. The car drives to Downtown Rio and enter a warehouse. They open the body bag and place Zeke on a chair and tie him down. Zeke is then approached by Altair and asks which member of the CIA sent him. Zeke mentions that he's from England. Altair believes that Zeke is lying, and orders his men to torture and interrogate Zeke. Zeke asks Altair if he knows about the Day of the Bulldog, and Altair mentions that he knew a guy who took part in it, and Zeke mentions that he was the one to lead the 'Bulldogs' into defending England.

Angered, Altair orders for Zeke to be tortured mercilessly. A couple of cholos bring out waterboarding material, as well as electrical clamps. They place a bag over Zeke's head, though Zeke can look out a hole in the bag, horrified. In his home, Felipe returns and kisses his wife, Marcia. Marcia mentions that he saw a man get kidnapped at the Hotel she works at, and Felipe asks who it was. Marcia mentions that it was a Blonde White man, who looked like he was from the United States. Felipe chuckles and mentions that he met a man who looked exactly like that, but he revealed that he was from England. Marcia mentions that he did have an English accent. Felipe mentions that he's shocked that the Englishman has in fact been abducted by the Terceiro Commandos after all.

Marcia asks how he knows him, and Felipe mentions that he saved him from some cholos in the market, and was offered a high-paying job by the man. Marcia tells Felipe to take the chance, as Brazil is getting too dangerous to raise their children, especially with the street reign of the Terceiro Comandos. While Marcia and Felipe continue talking, their son Lucio puts down his record set and goes to turn on the television. On the television, a News Reporter mentions that the Ambassador from England, Ezekiel-Amadeus Oxton, has disappeared, as he has been captured by the Terceiro Comandos. Felipe tells Marcia that that is the man he met. Marcia tells Felipe to go save him, and Felipe suits up in his "Bullet Man" uniform. Felipe kisses his wife, hugs his son and grandson, and races out the door.

### Dois homens contra o exercito ilegal Parte 2 (Two Men Against the Illegal Army Part 2)

Bullet Man runs through the streets of Rio, looking for Cholos. He finds one and pins him to the ground. He demands to know where the 'American' is, and the Cholo mentions that Altair Barros has him. Bullet Man asks where Altair is, and the cholo refuses. Bullet Man then races to the Redeemer Statue and threatens to drop him over. The cholo mentions that he really doesn't know. Bullet Man drops the man, and the man mentions that Altair is in a warehouse near downtown Rio. Bullet Man catches the man and races to the Police Station, where he places the man in a cell. Bullet Man thanks the man for his cooperation, before leaving the Police Station. Bullet Man mentions that he forgot to ask which warehouse it is.

He races back to the Police Station. Meanwhile, Zeke asks the cholos if that's all they got. The cholos resume to torture Zeke some more, and Zeke tells the men that if they were real men, they wouldn't hide behind weapons. The men smack Zeke, and attempt to electrocute him. They fail, when Bullet Man arrives and reroutes the electrocuters onto one of the Cholos. Bullet Man then grabs a knife and cuts Zeke free. Zeke thanks Bullet Man, before grabbing a gun and shooting the cholos. Altair Barros enters the building and see his men being slaughtered by the heroes. He then leaves, as Zeke tells Bullet Man that they could really use someone like him on the Team. Felipe mentions that his wife told him to go for it, and Zeke mentions that women are always right.

Altair returns with a flamethrower and tells the men that they'll never take him in alive. Bullet Man mentions that people like him are always causing terror to those who can't defend themselves, and Altair mentions that it's just business, before unleashing his flamethrower. Zeke hides behind a metal crate, as Altair tries to chase Bullet Man with the flames. As Bullet Man gets to the other side of the building, Zeke shoots the gas cannisters on Altair's back, blowing them up. Before the explosion could expand, Bullet Man pushes Altair out the window, as Altair is killed in the explosion. Zeke mentions that it was good teamwork, before asking Bullet Man how he got his powers. Felipe mentions that he got them when he was 7, and he was running away from his father, who wanted to beat him.

### Mentorship

As Zeke and Felipe walk out of the warehouse, Bullet Man mentions that they could've set it on fire, but then everyone in Downtown Brazil would get high. Zeke asks Felipe if he could teach him a few things about South America, as he doesn't know much. Felipe mentions that he'll be happy too, but asks if Zeke has to be back at the AirPort. Zeke mentions that he doesn't plan on leaving till midnight, but must speak to the Prime Minister. Felipe then grabs Zeke's neck and races him to the UN Embassy. There, Zeke speaks to the Prime Minister, who thanks Felipe for saving the British Ambassador. Felipe tells the Minister that now he fears for his family, now hat he got involved with the Terceiro Comandos. The Minister tells his assistant to find Felipe's family and relocate them to somewhere safe in Brazil.

Zeke then hands Felipe the list and tells him to sign. The Prime Minister asks what it means, to which Zeke tells him that Felipe has joined the British Superhero Team, and now has to head towards London, England. Zeke then hands Felipe a plane ticket, and both men begin to shake hands. Zeke mentions that he doesn't have to be in Washington, D.C. till 5 A.M., and Zeke mentions that the Jet he flies can get him there by 11 P.M., so they have a little time to kill. Felipe tells Zeke that he can teach Zeke about Brazilian Culture. Zeke then asks where they can talk about it, and Felipe mentions that they can talk about it at the Redeemer Statue. Both Zeke and Felipe say goodbye to the Prime Minister, before Zeke and Felipe race towards the Statue.

As both men begin to speak of Brazilian Culture, Felipe tells Zeke that from the little he knows about him, he seems completely afraid of people who 'Aren't European'. Zeke mentions that he's only really ever encountered a Chicano man in his life, but that man died during the Bloodshed War. Felipe asks what the Bloodshed War is, and Zeke mentions that it's what they refer to as the War between England and Sokovia. Felipe mentions that they only heard that it started, and that it ended, and that's it. Zeke then chuckles, and mentions that that's how it felt. Zeke then realizes that he left his luggage at the Hotel, and begins to run away from the Statue, with Felipe asking where he's going.
