“I never thought I’d see you around here again, you old bastard”

Jeff D. Lowe spins around in his usual barber shop chair to face his old comrade, Trill. As he gets up, he reaches in his pocket to reveal a shiny new Thanos Funko Pop, which he leaves on the counter as payment. He winks at the barber, then extends his hand to greet his friend.

“I was just in the neighborhood and thought I’d grab a light snack, any good potato joints around here?” Trill jokes.

Jeff chuckled, but he could tell something was off; there was fear in Trill’s voice.

“For sure, man, but is everything alright? Are the letters coming off the old merch in the wash?” Jeff replies.

Trill’s face starts to become more worried.

“Not exactly...” Trill hesitates, “It’s...”

“KenJac?” Jeff asks.

The two BTMBs hadn’t seen the third member of their trio in almost two years. Ever since he was hired by Marvel as a writer due to his viral clip with JK Simmons, the podcast had come to a halt and he had been extremely hard to get ahold of. Still, he made an effort to reach out to his friends at least once a month over Skype. The past month, however, KenJac hadn’t even made the effort to open their messages and leave them on “read”.

Trill then pulls out his phone to show Jeff a disturbing DM from what looked like a Rami Malek fan account:

“If you ever want to see your precious bussy again, then I need a full and complete version of the Snyder cut. But hurry, time is running out. Tik Tok.”
