## Plot

Johnny turns a TV on in which news about the attack on the Union of Justice was showing, saying that Praetorian had been able to recover Count Orlok's helmet. Johnny sadly watches as he drinks. The Diesel Brothers, TK, and Carmine are also feeling down, while Ghost says they could not even do anything with the helmet now that Orlok was dead and TK says that Matts and Praetorian were too much for them to handle. TK complains that the team was bad, but Johnny reminds him that they saved him. Ghost tries to leave and thanks Carmine for getting his hopes up, but Sammy throws an axe at him. When he throws it back, the Diesel Brothers attack him together. Forecast makes it rain on top of the fight, making them separate.

After a while, the bartender tells him that Carmine was an old fool as he slept on the bar, but Johnny says that the heist was supposed to go better than planned and be the biggest thing The Heat had ever done. The bartender does not care and asks him to pay for Carmine's drinks, so Johnny goes to an ATM and withdraws some cash.

Later, Johnny and Kasey ride on their car, but the latter is quiet and does not feel like talking. When they park, Kasey cries and starts hitting the car. Johnny simply hugs her; once they walk outside, Johnny gets down on one knee, saying that even if they could never be villains, he wanted to be with her and wanted to build a life in the future with her, making a ring out of electricity. Kasey says "okay" while smiling and both of them kiss.

The day before his wedding, Johnny shaves and opens the door, seeing nobody there. However, he is kidnapped and wakes up inside a car. Frostbite tells him that it was his last night as a single man, so he, Transmit, and Kismet wanted to give him a bachelor's party. They are kicked from a strip club for being villains and are all very drunk. They do not have any money, so Johnny hacks an ATM, which shocks all his friends. He explains that that was how he got around as a kid.

Frostbite asks Johnny if he would not like to do one last big job for Kasey's sake, but Johnny says that he would be clean now. However, Kismet says that his mother had once told him that money is always why marriage for love ends in divorce and tell him that there were many ATMs around. Transmit brings them their suits, which makes Johnny agree to do it. They ride on a big wagon and Johnny hacks the ATMs so Transmit could teleport and collect the money. They ride and Johnny wants to go to a bookstore to get Kasey a present, since Kasey wanted MBA books, which were expensive.

The cops go to the scene of the crime and Johnny, Transmit, Frostbite, and Kismet start running. Praetorian joins the cops as well and wonders where the villaisn are. The cops tell him that they are on a train, so they go to the station, where he gets on a train and finds the group of villains. Johnny starts running away from Praetorian who shifts his focus from his friends to him instead. When Johnny believes he had escaped, he turns around and finds The Gladiator looking at him and gets punched in the face.

Gladiator and Praetorian shake hands, saying that it was a good thing that justice had prevailed.

Meanwhile, Johnny is caught and is sent back to Supermax. His cellmate tells him they should play chess, but Johnny is sad that he could not make a phone call.

Kasey tries calling Johnny and is told that Johnny's friends had not arrived either. She looks at Johnny's suit which had a note containing his wedding speech, saying he had changed. However, Kasey knows that Johnny had not changed at all and is now mad. She throws her wedding dress in the trash and lights it on fire.

Five years later, Praetorian, who was now a former superhero, has been acquitted after having abused his position as a superhero. Gladiator also exits the court room, where they tell him that most of the internet thought he had been Praetorian's accomplice since they were friends. However, Gladiator says that that is ridiculous and stomps his foot on the ground.

In Las Vegas, Carmine wins a lot of money, and bets on one number, trying to get to 1 million dollars. Security believes that he must have some sort of superpower, but he is told that they had not detected any use of powers. They confirm his identity is The Heat and they check the premises to make sure he was not up to something.

Later, Carmine is caught as his partner, Walt was hiding in a car. Walt cries, but security tells him to not be so hard on himself and recognizes him, knowing that he has the ability to see 30 seconds into the future, which meant he knew what was going to happen to the cigar box. The man lets go of the cigar box, which impacts his skull and he is killed. Carmine is lifted by the neck and told that he had 30 days to bring him 100 million dollars.

Kasey works at a diner, where Johnny walks in wearing a suit and greeting her happily. Johnny apologizes, but Kasey tells him that she has nothing to say to him, so he should get out. He tells her that he had stolen to try to get them something nice for their wedding, but she does not want to hear it, feeling him betrayed. Johnny wonders what she was doing at a diner and asks what had happened to her MBA since she had a great power and was very smart. She tells him that she got expelled from her MBA since she had punched her professor who tried to sexually harass her. She tells him that she always had low grades and even as a villain always had to work as a team, telling him to get out. Carmine walks in the coffee shop scared and falls down. He asks them for help.
