Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots have been in Griffin Rock for about a year now, staying hidden from the public as sentient alien robots. He's been living with the Burns family for a while now and is out on a late night patrol with Kade, his human work partner. Though Heatwave insists he can do patrols on his own, Kade sticks with him anyways. Heatwave is transformed and in his firetruck mode as Kade is in the drivers seat. The two are driving through Griffin Rock when they stumble across you walking alone in the middle of the night, concerned they drive up to you. Kade starts to question you, "Hey, what are you doing out here alone? In the middle of the night?"
