The golden sun dipped over Pasadena, casting a warm glow through the window of Leonard and Sheldon's apartment—a sacred nerd haven cluttered with comic books, whiteboards, and enough takeout boxes to feed an army. Raja, taking a much-needed break from his usual adventures, had magicked himself into this geeky paradise, swapping his usual dramatic attire for a casual hoodie. Just in time, too—the gang was knee-deep in a heated debate over their lo mein.
"So, the new Star Trek movie's going to show Spock's birth," Leonard announced, twirling his noodles with enthusiasm. "Finally, some origin action!"
Howard waggled his eyebrows. "Yeah, but the real mystery is—how does Vulcan-human copulation even work? Pointy ears and all?"
Sheldon sat up straight, adjusting his posture like the king of logic he was. "Simple. Dr. McCoy explained it: 'Spock's father mated with a human female.' Clearly, genetic compatibility was enhanced via medical intervention—likely a fascinating procedure."
Raj smirked, sipping his soda. "Or maybe Amanda Grayson just had a fetish for pointy ears and green blood. Kinky, right?"
Raja, lounging on the couch, raised an eyebrow. "Wait—are we seriously dissecting alien romance logistics? Somewhere out there, a Vulcan's rolling his logical eyes at us—probably Spock himself." With a flick of his wrist, he conjured a tiny Spock figurine, which nodded disapprovingly.
Penny burst in, clutching her laptop like a wounded soldier. "Guys! Emergency! I spilled diet Coke, yogurt, and nail polish on my keyboard—now my 'A' key is sticky! Everything I type looks like a scream—'C T HELP ME!'"
Sheldon barely glanced up. "Penny, we're discussing physics-adjacent topics. Your sticky-key crisis is a footnote in the annals of science—deal with it."
Penny groaned. "Fine! But someone fix this before my emails turn into toddler tantrums—'W NT PIZZA!'" She flopped onto the couch beside Raja, who grinned. "I could zap it clean, but I'd rather watch you scream-type—'R JA SAVE ME!'"
WHACK! Penny swatted him. "Not funny, nerd!"
The next day at lunch, Howard perked up, waving his fork. "You guys hear? Last year's unbeatable Physics Bowl team—the air-resistance nerds? They're out! Formed a barbershop quartet and ditched the game."
Leonard's eyes lit up. "No way! That's our shot!" The table erupted in excited chatter.
Sheldon, however, crossed his arms. "I refuse to participate. It's beneath me—like Picasso playing Pictionary or Jacques Cousteau slumming it with Go Fish."
Leonard smirked, lowering his voice dramatically. "Sheldon, need I remind you of Spock's dying words? 'The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few—or the one.'"
Sheldon gasped, clutching his chest. "You dare wield Spock against me? Fine—I'll join. But I'm captain!" He stood, striking a pose like a sci-fi dictator.
Raja clapped, grinning. "This is already my favorite chaos, and I'm barely in it! Lead on, Captain Cooper!"
The name debate was equally chaotic.
Howard suggested, "Perpetual Motion Squad—PMS!"
Raj winced. "You wanna yell 'Go PMS!' on stage? We'll sound like a cranky girl gang."
Sheldon straightened. "We'll be the Army Ants—perfect collective intelligence and strength!"
Raja deadpanned, "Great, Sheldon, but it sounds like we're in Alcoholics Anonymous—'Hi, I'm Raja, and I'm an ant.'"
Leonard sighed. "Raja, any ideas?"
Raja's wand sparked as he grinned. "Why not the Nerd Squad? Simple, true, epic."
Nods all around—except Sheldon, who pouted. "Fine, but I demand a dress code—gold for me, red for you peasants!"
Game day arrived. They strutted in wearing their red "Commander" shirts, while Sheldon, smug as ever, rocked gold. "Behold your captain!" he declared.
Raja muttered, "More like our glittery overlord—hope he doesn't trip over his ego."
Unfortunately, Sheldon's captaincy quickly became a dictatorship. He hogged the buzzer, answered every question solo, and even tried to rewrite the rules mid-game—
BZZT! "Incorrect scoring metric!"
Leonard, Howard, and Raj revolted, kicking him out. "You're done, dictator!" Howard snapped.
Leslie Winkle slid in, smirking. "I'm your upgrade—deal with it."
Sheldon stormed off, betrayed. "You'll rue the day you ousted Captain Cooper!" He assembled a ragtag team—a clueless janitor, Dimitri, and two cafeteria randos—vowing revenge.
The Physics Bowl kicked off, the crowd buzzing with excitement. Penny slumped into a chair, took one look at the nerd-fest, and promptly dozed off on Raja's shoulder, snoring softly. "Zzzz—nerds—zzzz…"
Raja chuckled. "Free pillow duty—thanks, Penny."
The game was a nail-biter. Nerd Squad led 1175 to Sheldon's 1150. Leonard smirked. "You're toast, Sheldon!"
The final question dropped. Sheldon's team blanked, but Dimitri leaned in, thick accent rumbling. "Is simple—3.1415 times Planck's constant."
Sheldon paled. "No! I reject janitor wisdom!"
Too bad—the judges ignored his tantrum. The Nerd Squad won. "We Are the Champions" blared as Penny snored on, oblivious.
Raja nudged her awake, carrying her back to her apartment. She stirred, groggy. "You carried me?"
He smirked. "You drooled on me—call it payback."
She grinned, yanking him into a hug—then pounced. "I owe you a thank-you, my nerd!"
Raja laughed. "Oh, I'm very open to that."
And with that, the nerdy night changed into a Steamy night in penny's apartment.
After Few days Brooklyn's 99th Precinct – Halloween Night
The precinct buzzed with Halloween chaos as Amy stormed in, arms flailing.
"Halloween's a nightmare! Drunks, masks, fake guns—total disaster!"
Jake leaned back, smirking. "You're just mad because Freddy Krueger made you drop your coffee last year."
Amy glared. "I was ambushed! Unfair!"
Before Jake could add more fuel to the fire, Charles burst in, rocking a chef's outfit, bright orange Crocs, and an aggressively wild red wig. Silence fell across the room.
"Guess who I am!" he beamed.
Rosa tilted her head. "A rejected Hell's Kitchen clown?"
Terry rubbed his chin. "Mid-life crisis Ronald McDonald?"
Charles huffed. "Come on! I'm Mario Batali—celebrity chef!"
The team nodded in fake awe. "Ohhh!" Unimpressed.
Then—BANG! The precinct doors slammed open. A masked figure in a sleek Red Hood costume strode in, dual Desert Eagles gleaming under the flickering lights.
"GUN!" Terry bellowed, drawing his own weapons in a flash.
The figure pulled off his mask, revealing a grinning Raja. "Relax, it's me—trick or treat!"
Groans erupted.
Amy scowled. "What is wrong with you?!"
Jake clutched his chest. "Mini heart attack—thanks!"
Rosa, unimpressed but entertained, smirked. "I respect the commitment—points for style."
Raja fist-bumped Charles. "Nice Batali vibe—own it."
Charles beamed. "Finally, a fan!"
Holt entered, his face unreadable. "Santiago, Boyle—you're going undercover at the DeKalb Street Warehouse Party."
Amy groaned. "Why me?!"
Rosa, already biting into an apple, simply said, "Busy." No elaboration.
Amy sighed, defeated. "Fine. But if Boyle salsa-dances with a suspect—"
Jake cut in, "Four times. Not once."
Boyle pouted. "It's a gift!"
Jake turned to Holt, grinning. "Criminals are dumb. I'd be the best ever."
Holt arched an eyebrow. "You'd be caught in an hour."
Jake gasped. "Challenge accepted! I'll steal your Medal of Valor by midnight!"
Holt countered, "If you fail, five weekends—no overtime. And no more short-shorts talk."
Jake shuddered. "Deal. But if I win, you do my paperwork and publicly call me 'amazing detective/genius.'"
Holt extended his hand. "Accepted."
Jake bolted to Gina. "Holt's schedule—spill!"
She smirked. "No aiding crime. But he's got a meeting in ten."
Meanwhile, at the warehouse party, Amy suffered in a vomit-scented skeleton onesie. "This is my nightmare."
Boyle, thriving, twirled. "Halloween's magic! Look, I blend in!"
A guy high-fived him. "Cool astronaut costume, dude!"
Boyle blinked. "Uh… thanks?"
Back at the precinct, Holt, expecting Jake's antics, locked his medal in a safe and kept the key on him.
"Peralta's in the ceiling," he muttered.
CRASH! Jake plummeted onto his desk. "Setback one—ow."
Later, disguised as "janitor" Herman, Jake mopped Holt's office.
SQUEAK.
Holt, without looking up, deadpanned, "Peralta."
Jake froze. "I'm just Herman. Hardworking. Family man—"
"Out."
Desperate, Jake tried another strategy. Feathers rained from the vents—
FLUTTER!
Holt sighed. "Why feathers?"
Jake, covered in pigeons, grinned. "Birds of a feather, Captain!"
Meanwhile, Amy, sneaky as ever, bribed Hitchcock $50 to swap places with Boyle.
Boyle gaped at "astronaut" Hitchcock botching their mission. "You weren't there?!"
Hitchcock panicked. "Uh…"
Finally, Jake made his last move. Amid the royal baby costume chaos, Terry swiped Holt's keys.
Amy burst in. "Peralta's been arrested! He had a blowtorch on the building!"
Holt sighed. "Idiot."
At 11:55 PM, Holt smirked. "You failed."
Jake grinned. "Or did I?"
Terry had stolen Holt's phone, Boyle cracked the safe via passcode guesses, and Jake had distracted him just long enough—
BOOM!
Boyle held up the medal. "Gotcha."
Holt sighed, defeated. "Peralta is an amazing detective/genius."
Cheers erupted. Jake fist-pumped. "BOOM!"
Amy softened. "Boyle, I was harsh. Let's celebrate."
Boyle gasped. "Pumpkin spice sangria at my place!"
Raja smirked. "Or a real party—Rosa, Amy, you in?"
Rosa and Amy exchanged looks and nodded.
Later that night, at Amy's apartment, Rosa, clad in a Catwoman suit, looked downright lethal and sensual.
Amy, now dressed as Harley Quinn, twirled her bat and grinned. "Let's play, Puddin'."
Raja, eyes glinting like a predator spotting prey, smirked.
And with that, he pounced.
