A Sweet Morning Surprise

Ms Heroic Cat stretched her paws and yawned as the morning sun streamed through the tall windows of Heroic HQ. The futuristic building hummed softly with the sounds of computers and communication devices.

"Good morning, Incredible City!" she said cheerfully to herself, adjusting her light green super suit and smoothing her blue cape.

Her stomach rumbled. Time for breakfast! She flew down to the kitchen and opened the freezer compartment, pulling out her favorite strawberry ice cream. The pink swirls looked delicious as always.

She took a big spoonful and immediately made a face that would have made any cat owner laugh. "Blech! This tastes like... broccoli?"

She tried another spoonful, hoping her taste buds were playing tricks on her. Nope. Definitely broccoli.

"Maybe it's just this container," she muttered, grabbing the vanilla ice cream next. Same disgusting vegetable taste.

Her bright eyes narrowed behind her blue mask. Something very strange was happening in Incredible City.

The Bakery Investigation

Ms Heroic Cat flew out of Heroic HQ and zoomed toward downtown Incredible City. If all the ice cream in her freezer tasted like broccoli, maybe other places had the same problem.

She landed softly outside Sweet Dreams Bakery, where a cheerful golden retriever in a flour-dusted apron was arranging cupcakes in the window display.

"Excuse me," Ms Heroic Cat said, walking through the front door. "I'm investigating something strange about ice cream in the city."

The baker dog looked up with worried brown eyes. "Oh my! You mean the terrible taste? Every customer who bought ice cream today came back complaining. Even my special birthday cake ice cream tastes like vegetables!"

"When did this start happening?" Ms Heroic Cat asked, her blue cape swishing as she leaned forward.

"This morning, right around sunrise. I thought maybe my freezer broke, but the temperature is perfect." The baker's tail drooped sadly. "Three birthday parties got ruined today. The children were so disappointed."

Ms Heroic Cat's heart sank. This wasn't just her problem—it was affecting the whole city. Someone had definitely done this on purpose.
