Rat Child tells him, Heroes need gear.
Rat Child needs gear, he rolls over, Heroes need cheese.
Rat Child pokes him, Heroes fight Evil Squirrels, leap tall buildings, run faster than UPS delivery van thirty minutes before Christmas. Need gear.
The hero gives dramatic sigh. Show Stars the pack.
Rat Child gleefully shows him the pack. Perfectly fitted, aero-dynamic, Evil Squirrel abrasion resistant, and color coordinating with the hero's cape.
He leans forward, sniffing suspiciously. What is inside?
Rat Child positively dances. Standard Hero Victory Kit: cheese, Dr. Thumbs' lucky sock, and Girl America's press picture with autograph. Sidekick Accessory Pack: flashlight, handkerchief, cookies. Rat Child quickly puts it on the hero.
The hero collapses artfully into imitation of roadkill. Too heavy.
Rat Child scowls, suspicious. Gear not too heavy!
Too heavy, groans the hero. Can't carry.
Rat Child and Stars stare at each other.
Rat Child sighs dramatically. How fix?
The hero grins. Stars should eat the cheese.
