The "Amalgam Universe" RPG IC thread

[MST3K 4ever]

Barbara flies down the hall high enough to avoid being seen by any of the security cameras.

Okay no matter how things turn out tonight I have got to tell the cleaning crew that they seriously need to work on cleaning the roofs...the cobwebs up here are bad. If nothing else maybe I should file for hazardous duty pay.

She approaches Malone's office she waits for the security camera to do one more pass. She then flies down to the door frame and crawls underneath. She hear Malone on the phone, and she then flies up to his book-case and hides behind a bookend.

Malone says, "Yes director we are in agreement on that point....yes the Sheik is willing to meet our price for this job...yeah he's ready to stop making alamony payments and send us a percentage of that every month for the next decade...yes that should finance us in Eastern Europe for quite sometime...project Dragonfly is well ahead of schedule..."

A job...why do I have a feeling that this Sheik's wife is about to have a very neat accident....Dragonfly...not sure I like the sounds of that.

Malone takes a drink and continues, "Oh she is got some serious potential no doubt...lots of spirit & very intellegent....yes at times she can be too smart but we can work on that over time....I'm not sure about that but if we tell her that it is in the interest of National Security she'll do it...yes even if we have to be creative with how it is presented...oh yes there is a lot of risks here but think about it Director the upside is just tremendous we could have a super-powered being under our thumb litterally in some cases..." Malone chuckles at that statement.

Under his thumb....OH I am so ready to give these clowns my 2 weeks notice...aww forget that I'm ready to get this jerk in a parking lot and just beat on him as long as my wings can keep me in the air.

Malone says, "Why thank you director...well if she doesn't co-operate we'll appeal to her sense of loyalty to this country, and then if that doesn't work hey her dad is a former QB I'll bet there has got be some skeletons in his closet her mom is a wrtier and plagerism is an ugly thing that she might have to face up to....well we may have to do some fancy foot-work but it wouldn't be the first time we did that...."

MY FAMILY!!!! Malone you son of a b***h!!!! I swear you are all mine!!!!

Malone takes another drink and says, "Oh if we have to we will do a reprogramming...I realize the paperwork and logistics behind it all but if we have to do that we will she is far too valuble to our operation....if none of that works then we'll tell her she has one trainning session and then get her wings weighted down and I don't know I guess shove her in a paper shredder...hey this operation is too valuble to be sacrificed because of some six inch egg-head....oh yeah dropping a stapler could work as well....all-right director I'll call you in 48 hours to let you know the results of the Sheik job...thank you good night."

He hangs up and dials another number and says, "Hey sweetheart...yeah I got some more paperwork....yeah it'll be at least another 2 hours and then another 2 hours of operations videos...okay I love you too and kiss the kids good night for me....all right good night."

He hangs up the phone and dials another number. He says, "Hey it's me...get the gin ready...I'm on my way I'll be there in 15 minutes..bye."

He hangs up and cuts off the lights and leaves his office. Barbara has her eyes closed and she is shaking behind the bookend.

Reprogram me like I'm some d*** computer! Or shoving me in a paper-shredder...oh they've screwed with the wrong six-inch egg head...not to mention he has a wife and kids and he is cheating on them. This guy would turn Ghandi into a mass-murderer...it's time to take him down!

She flies down to the phone and cuts on the computer. Okay I need some help to take care of this. She dials Hank's number. He answers, "Yeah."

Barbara says, "Hank it's me."

He asks, "Barbara? Why are you calling me from.....a different number."

She replies, "Hank I have no time to explain, and trust me the less you know the better off you'll be. I need a huge favor please I will cover your shifts for the next year if you do me one favor."

Hank replies, "I'll try what is it?"

Barbara says, "Just go to my apartment..there is a spare key underneath a yellow potted plant. Go in and cut on my computer, connect to the internet and go home...that's all."

Hank asks, "Barbara? What do you mean? What's going on?"

She replies, "Hank please do this for me a lot of people are counting on me and they don't even know it...please...please if our friendship ever meant a thing to you do this for me please."

Hank pauses for a moment. After what feels like a month he says, "All-right...All-right on my way I'll take care of it. You can count on me. I'm on my way."

Barbara says, "Thanks Hank...you have on idea what this means to me."

She hangs up the phone and she flies into Malone's computer. She touches the C-Drive and is hacked into his computer.

This guy has got a lot of sins to pay for. He is so going down and I'm gonna love very second of it, because I am going to have some fun with his files. Oh this is interesting...a phone log with all kinds of interesting numbers...have to make sure his wife gets these...yeah this guy has no idea what's about to hit him.... just to be safe.. clear out Hank's number. Malone you are dead-meat!

That Useless Mxy!!!

His report was a joke that deserves to be pinned on the wall of a neptunian infantile learning facility!

However, I did learn something from it. Iron Lantern has some ties to a business called Stark Enterprises, It's main office is in a North American city by the name of New Gotham.

I landed in front of the building in a populated area of the city.Local Law enforcement units came rushing to intercept me.
Fools.
Their metal weapons are nothing to a being who wielded the power of the polaritian, masters of magnetism. I sent them an ironic gesture as I thrusted their bullets back unto their own heads.
I made my way inside the "Stark Plaza", and I grabbed the first person I see. She was sitting behined circular desk that was exactly in front of the door. It must have been some kind of an assistance unit.
PERFECT!
"I require an audiance with Iron Lantern, female. Assist me in my task or perish a thousands times over."
"H-he's right behined y-you, s-sir."

She was not lying...

 

[blah]

Sbyder have been awefully quiet this morning, I wonder why.
Anyway I got a bigger....

he storms pass the man and sees a man that probably is in his early 20's.
"Can I help you?" he says sternly

"Oh, hello Dr. Kingsley. My name is Theodore Parker, I am here for the intermship program..."

A cold chill went down my spine for no apparent reason. I looked behined the shoulders the good doctor and found a smirk on the face of a stern business-looking man. Something about him made me uneasy. Is it my Sbyder's senses?

Ah! I see your new lab rat is here, Kingsley. I'll leave you two for your pipe dreams. See you later, M'boy.

I can definetly see a vein popping on Dr. Kingsley's head right about now...

(Iron Lantern)

"Awww. Did I miss the party again. Well I guess I finaly get that challange I wanted."

I jump up and fly into the air.

"Now will you please drop the lady. Or I will just make you."

I shot him with a beam that came from my hands....he falls on his back, still holding on to her. As he started to get up I flew stright at him and before he can move I slam into him with tramindis force. He flew back into a brickwall that barly cracked. I took the lady away from him and set her back at her desk.

"No was that so hard." I say to him while looking over at a lead statue of Hal Stark. I shoot my beam again and pull it right of the ground. "This Hal Stark, hes a good looking guy. I guess he will have to build a new one. To bad though." I slam the statue right into this ugly pile that I have been whooping. "And I wanted a challange, o well, mabey next time."

I start to walk away, I open the door, then...

 

[Logan Howlett]

"Certainly, I would be glad to help. Man's world is so strange and new to me still, I don't think I'll ever understand how you have continued to survive in such a volatile and self-destructive way. On Themyscira no such malice would be tolerated from an Amazon."

He doesn't seem to appreciate my criticisms of his society so I change the subject, feeling a bit awkward. I straighten up and put on a neutral expression. I'm an Amazon princess, if anyone should feel awkward it should be him.

"I'm sure I can be of some assistance in catching this....Punisher"

"Well alright then.....if only more people were like you.."

I smile at her, she smiles back, then for no particular reason at all one thought crosses my mind.....Clark!

"Clark! He tried to contact me earlier....I havent been anywhere near my earpiece since I took off the cowl...DAMN! CHUCK! CHUUCK!"

The kitchen door swings open gently,

"Yes master Wayne, can I be of assistance....I mean I was only preparing a sulflet of which is completly ruined if any loud sounds are made, and happened to pick this particular hour to make it because I did not expect that you would have need to shout during lunch with an amazonian princess, but perhaps I was being foolish.....go on?"

Chuck has always been a quick witted ol' bastard,

"Its Clark...he's back...he contacted me earlier.."

"Clark? You mean master Kent?"

"Yep."

"And you forgot? You forgot that a man declared legened, and possibly the most powerfull being to walk the earth, whom was frozen under the ocean for decades only to return and fight in a secret war hidden from the world, a war you yourself just happened to take place in, and a man whom has been missing in action for over twenty years called you on your secret communication devise that only a select handfull of superpowered individuals has the frequency to?.....You forgot Master Wayne?"

"............ya........could you bring me my cowl?"

He stood silent for a bit and then said,

"I'll prepare another place at the table for Supersoilder, and bring your cowl....... Was there anything else sir? "

"No.....that'll do it...thanks..."

I look back at my confused house guest.

"Sorry about that....where were we?"

 

[MST3K 4ever]

Malone strolls into his office and 9am. He cuts on his computer and sees two countdowns in the upper-right corner of his monitor. One counting down from 30 seconds another counting down from 15 minutes. He tries to reset the computer and even cut off. It isn't responding and a password prompt appears as well.

The 30 second countdown expires and a verbal message says, "Bombs away!"

Within a minute his phone rings and he says, "Hello...hey honey? What but I...no no I....you have what...but...but I can explain...no she is only a friend...honey really...I'll talk to you about it later...No no don't call a lawyer....I can...Hello? Hello? D***!"

He slams the phone down and Barbara flies down from the bookshelves.

She says in a voice with cybernetic echo, "Having a bad day already Malone?"

He jumps and says, "Ahhh! How did you get in here Van Dyne?"

She flies in-front of him in the black jump-suit which now has two yellow stripes down the side, a black mask, and a wasp on the front.

She says, "The name is Cyber-Wasp to you slime-ball and today is going to only get worse for you."

He is stairing at her and she says, "Like the suit? I flew down to your supply closet picked up a few things and made some improvements. Now the voice. I figured if I could will myself to shrink and grow, then in theory I could use the cybernetic part of my DNA and will my voice to change. It took some doing but now it's a snap."

He says, "What the h*** is going on here?"

She replies, "Why whatever do you mean Malone? I mean seriously what could a 6-inch egg-head do?"

Malone tenses up and says, "How...you were in here last night weren't you? You had a hand in revealing my affair to my wife didn't you!"

He stands up and throws a paperweight at Cyber-Wasp. She deftly dodges it and kicks it at the same time. It nails Malone right between the eyes. He falls back into his chair grabbing his head muttering several obscenities.

Cyber-Wasp says, "Now that you got that out of your system would like to hear to hear everything before it gets even worse."

Malone nods and she says, "All-right then. Your wife has suspected your affair for months now. I called her with all of the information that you thought you stored on this computer. E-mails, credit-card reciepts, phone call logs all of that stuff. I called her and told her to make sure she had computer on about five minutes before nine. Once you cut on the computer it triggered a program I set up sending her all of this information."

She flies down and hovers right in-front of him and says, "She really is a lovely woman and I suspect once she leaves you is going to seriously trade up."

Malone asks, "What about the second countdown?"

Cyber-Wasp replies, "Oh yeah that. Well you see you were nice enough to keep your information on this operation on your computer and in other ones here that I tracked down as well. This whole operation is called the 'Thunder-Stealth' unit and it is also highly illegal."

Malone says, "Oh please Cyber-Wasp, I can't believe I called you that, all those countries with secret police and secret death-squads where do you think they learned how to do all of that? They learned from us."

She says, "Be that as it may it's still illegal, and if you notice that countdown is getting close to zeros, and when that happens life for you will suck like never before. You see what I did was copied all of the information in this place, and I have hidden it in hundreds of computers throughtout the world. I also sent them to every major news outlet in this country and hidden it within their systems as well. Now I can tell you how to shut the countdown off but there are certain conditions that must be met."

Malone says, "You're bluffing. No way you could've done all this."

Cyber-Wasp says, "Okay take your chances. Hey I know why don't we call a good lawyer for you once the countdown is done. Seeing as how you're gonna need one for the divorce you never thought would happen."

Malone is starting to sweat and finally says, "All-right what do you want!"

Cyber-Wasp says, "Good now eyes front and keep them there. Malone do you like the movies?" He nods and she says, "Good we are going to re-enact one of my favorites. We are going to do 'Aladdin' in a way. Except this time good ol' Al is going to be played by me, and you re going to be the genie without the blue-skin and really witty remarks. You are going to grant me three wishes."

She flies to his left ear and says, "Oh great genie my first wish is that you, your cronies and anyone associated with this operation leave me, my family, my friends, and co-workers alone. After I leave here none of us exist to you and if I find out that anyone even remotely associated with this operation was looking at an apartment in my building I'll hurt you in ways you can't even imagine."

She flies to his right ear and says, "For my next wish simple money lots of it. Remember that 100 million that was to be given to Star-Con labs in New Gotham. Well not only is silence golden, but it is now very expensive. You will give 200 million to them for the next five years."

Malone is looking around and starts to say, "We don't have..."

Cyber-Wasp says, "Malone don't insult my intellegence I know it's here. You either make it happen or your divorce is going to be a day at the beach compared to what could happen to you."

She then begins flying around his head and says, "Hmmmm...what should my final wish be? It's my last one I better make it good....hmmmm I got it!"

She hovers right in-between his eyes and says, "For my last wish as of right now Star-Con labs out of the spy business. Whoever you got working there I don't care if it's Dr. Kirk Connors I don't care they pack up their cloak & dagger kit and take the surveilence junk with them. Go back on any of these wishes and I will bury you alive."

He says, "I don't have to agree to any of this. Once you're gone and the countdown is stopped I can go back on all of this."

Cyber-Wasp says, "Oh Malone you are so great when you think you have one over on people. You see I have take precautions against that as well. If my name or anything like that, famliy history, physical discription, my powers, you name it is entered into any computer here or anywhere else, or if you decide to throw these computers out. The information is released, so in essence you are walking through a cybernetic minefield. A simple word could do it even. Stopping the coutndown is the equivilant of hitting the snooze bar. Face it Malone it's either grant my wishes or leave the....forget country...you better leave the planet. So do we have a deal or not?"

Malone closes his eyes realizing he has been beaten and says, "You win now what is the password."

She says, "It'll appear to you on your screen I have to go in the computer and activate the program the word will appear on the screen you still have to type it. Once I do that I am a memory here. Don't worry I got rid of my wheel-chair I got a spare at home along with my cell-phone. Remember go back on any of this and I will destroy you once and for all along with the director, and I know who she is and that won't look good for the President. So let this be my parting words to you: don't mess with the wasp!"

She flies into the computer and activates the password protocol. She then travels along the internet back to her apartment. She flies out through her computer and lands on her desk exhausted.

She says, "Okay traveling through cyber-space is such a rush, but very very exhausting. It doesn't help that I stayed up a good chunk of the night fixing Malone's computer."

She flies off of the desk and it is taking everything she has to stay in the air. She is on her hands and knees and lands in a spare wheel-chair and tries to return to normal size. She can't do it.

She says, "Apparently I need to have some strength to grow again."

Jarvis comes up to her and begins purring. He hops in her chair she strokes his legs and says, "No offense Jarvis but I can't take the chance."

She flies up to the middle of her dresser, climbs in her jewlery box and falls asleep.

Sbyder have been awefully quiet this morning, I wonder why.
Anyway I got a bigger....

"Oh, hello Dr. Kingsley. My name is Theodore Parker, I am here for the intermship program..."

A cold chill went down my spine for no apparent reason. I looked behined the shoulders the good doctor and found a smirk on the face of a stern business-looking man. Something about him made me uneasy. Is it my Sbyder's senses?

Ah! I see your new lab rat is here, Kingsley. I'll leave you two for your pipe dreams. See you later, M'boy.

I can definetly see a vein popping on Dr. Kingsley's head right about now...

He glares at the man and grinds his teeth and then looks back at the man. What did he say his name was...

"Right Parker. Now I remember follow me" Kingsley and him walked out of the office. They headed toward the elevator without saying a word. He was still cooling off from that incident in the office. They both enter the elevator and Kingsley pushes for the basement. It goes down a few floors and the doors open.

"Welcome Mr. Parker this is where we make the magic"

 

[Noon]

"Well alright then.....if only more people were like you.."

I smile at her, she smiles back, then for no particular reason at all one thought crosses my mind.....Clark!

"Clark! He tried to contact me earlier....I havent been anywhere near my earpiece since I took off the cowl...DAMN! CHUCK! CHUUCK!"

"I'll prepare another place at the table for Supersoilder, and bring your cowl....... Was there anything else sir? "

"No.....that'll do it...thanks..."

I look back at my confused house guest.

"Sorry about that....where were we?"

I raise one eyebrow with an internal sigh.

Men...

"I believe we were going to investigate The Punisher, as he is so quaintly named."

MST3K 4ever Cyber-Wasp

Barbara wheels into Star-Con labs bright and early the next morning. Once again no Hank...what is up with this?

Just then a tall spindly kid comes walking and says, "Dr. Van Dyne?"

She replies, "Yes?"

He says, "Hey my name is Rick Olson. I'm your new partner well actually you'd be the senior scientist you're gonna be teaching me. I'm from the Boston lab. The gang at corperate think you and I will work together. Dr. Freiz was the one who recommended you teach me."

He sticks his hand out and Barbara shakes it very slowly.

She asks, "Where's Dr. Friez?"

Rick replies, "Resigned suddenly yesterday morning around 9:30. No real reason was given either he just left basically."

Barbara is stunned...WHAT...NO! NOT Hank...Hank was...oh my.

Just then her cell-phone rings and she sees it's from Hank.

Barbara politely says, "Excuse me for a moment Rick I need to take this call in private."

She rolls into the hallway and answers the phone, "All-right you slimey traitor! You gotta a lot of nerve calling me!"

Hank says, "Well that's a fine way to say hello Barbara. I always thought your people skills were one of your strengths."

Barbara says, "It's Dr. Van Dyne only my friends can call me by my first name."

Hank replies, "Look I know you're hurt right now, but give me a chance to explain."

She asks, "Why should I do that?"

Hank replies, "Because I helped when I didn't have to I figure you owe me at least five minutes of your time."

Barbara says, "Five minutes and the clock is ticking."

Hank says, "Good enough, yes I was in the Thunder-Stealth units so were dozens of us and it was against our will. These guys had control over us like you wouldn't believe. We have all tried in some way to leave or escape. Only to either be black-mailed or sadly in some cases reprogrammed. Then you came along with your powers and more importantly your sense of morality your sense of justice and right and wrong. I saw my last and best hope of escaping. Yes I told Malone about you but it was my only hope of escape. I needed someone I could trust who I knew wouldn't back down and if she knew what these people were capable of she'd try to stop 'em in a second. That's why when you called me I was stunned at first...I couldn't believe it I saw a chance at freedom for the first time in almost a decade. I knew you'd succeed because Malone was so arrogant he made the mistake I made at first. When I first met you I really underestimated you Dr. Van Dyne for that I am sorry. I saw a kid in a chair full of great ideas and a drive that was unreal. I thought she won't last long, and I was so glad to be proven wrong. Malone is such a yutz I knew you'd nail him. You have no idea how many people would be lining up around the block to thank you for what you did. Well that's my story and my five minutes are up. Thank you Dr. Van Dyne"

Barbara takes a deep breath and says, "It's Barbara to my friends Hank, and sorry about the slimey traitor line. What's next?"

Hank chuckles and says, "Well for starters no need to apologize about that line. I still have couple of sources at the Unit.They said Malone isn't in hot-water, he's in boiling water. The Thunder-Stealth units are done they can't risk being exposed thanks to you. Face it Barbara you did what the KGB, several Eastern European Governments, sections of our own Government & MI-6 could never do you destroyed the Thunder-Stealth units. By the time they are back up to what they once were the only thing Malone and his idiots will be able to spy is who has the best chocolate pudding at the Old-Spy's home. For me, I'm off to somewhere...somewhere the water is warm, the drinks are cold and no one knows my name. I've got some money set aside it's time for me to enjoy some peace and quiet."

Barbara chokes slightly and says, "I guess this is our goodbye. Hank...I....I..."

Hank says, "Hey hey none of that okay. One of the reasons I recommended you take Rick Olson under your wing is because you're ready to stand on your as it were...sorry about that. But you don't need a mentor anymore you're ready to spread your wings...oh sorry again."

Barbara dabs her eyes and says, "It's okay thank you for everything Hank."

He replies, "Don't let your powers go to waste. Malone was right about one thing...you really can make a difference in this world. You really can."

Barbara says, "Well I would hate to let the suit go to waste. Hank take care and I...I..."

Hank says, "Hey let me just say despite the fact you're in that chair... that blue suede mini looks great on you." Just as the line goes dead.

She hears a door to a stair-well close and she rolls to a window just in time to see a familar figure in a leather jacket heading down the street.

Barbara smiles and hears someone else coming up behind her. Rick asks, "Dr. Van Dyne are you okay?

She looks at Rick and says, "It's Barbara Rick. If we're going to be working together we might as well start off on the right foot...sorta speak."

She begins to roll towards the lab and says, "Okay we begin at 9am or in some cases five after nine. We knock off at five no later than 6, because....I just started a new night-time activity."

And so it begins.....

 

[ElectroFlare]

It seems that pay phones were extremely scarce now a days. Much had changed since my battle with Ultra Metallo.

It didn't matter though. With my super speed I found the only remaining pay phone in the area.

I dialed the number that was given to me for Logan Wayne.

"Uh...hi, this is Clark...Rogers. Is Logan Wayne avaliable? I'm an old friend of his and haven't been around in a long time. Most of my time has been spent...studying ice formations in the sea." I said once the phone was picked up.

Perhaps the contact will be easier then I thought...

The amazon sighs,

"I believe we were going to investigate The Punisher, as he is so quaintly named."

"Right......."

At that moment Chuck walks back through the kitchen door.

"Master Wayne, a Clark....Rogers is on the phone for you.....?"

Charles raises an eyebrow at me.

"Clark....Rogers?....Rogers?.....Hehehe...that ol' clever bastard...hehe,.....Gime the phone....."

He hands the wireless phone to me at the table,

"Clark?.....This is Logan.....So its Rogers now huh? Always told ya you looked like Roy Rogers, that is if you had dark hair......you didn't dye your hair did ya?"

 

[MST3K 4ever]

MST3K 4ever Cyber-Wasp

Barbara was still aglow from the decision she made to continue using her powers.

I can't believe it I am about to become a super-hero. WoW! I wonder what it's going to be like the first time I have a fight with a super-villian? Or the first time I have to disappear and change into Cyber-Wasp. Have to work on a technique to make my wheel-chair disappear as well. Maybe a Neural-link of some kind...I can have fun playing with that once Rick leaves.

Just then Rick walks up to her and says, "Ahh Dr. Van...I mean Barbara I just did one last reconfiguring on the main lazer power grid, and if it's okay with you I'm gonna take off for the night."

Barbara says, "Sure Rick go ahead we had a busy first day, and I gotta admit it was better than I thought it would be. I think this is going to work out just fine."

Rick replies with boyish glee, "Oh boy so do I Dr. V...I mean mamm...I mean Barbara...see ya tomorrow."

Barbara watches Rick leave. Rick is either the boy next door or...thank you Hank for making me paranoid. She turns into Cyber-Waps and accesses the company records on Rick Olson. Yeah he checks out all-right Okay now for a little bit of fun.

She returns to normal height,wheels over to the supply room and grabs some computer components. She peices together a small and crude looking black box. She then goes back into the lab area where it all began. She stops for a moment and takes it all in. Kind of like driving by an intersection where you have had an accident. Gotta move on.

She then goes to the control room and calibrates the lazer to the exact setting and frequency as it was when she was in the line of fire. She sets a countdown to 1 minute and has the lazer aimed directly at the black box . She plucks one of her hairs out of her head and places it in the box and closes it. So this way it locks in on my DNA signature and the computer components should do enough to provide a working neural link

She sits there and waits until she hears the countdown hit 5 seconds. She then begins to shrink down and at the count of zero the lazer fires nailing the box and she notices the wheelchair has shrunk into nothing.

Okay now let's see if this worked or if I just destroyed another wheel chair.

She wills herself back to normal height and as she does she notices the wheel-chair is growing with her again. YES ! YES! YES! OH I AM GOOD! Too bad no one will ever really know about it.

She then shirinks back down and flies into the computer and alters all the evidence including the video footage.

*********************************************************

Barbara gets home and has a light supper. A Ceaser salad and some bread.

She looks at Jarvis and says, "Well Jarvis don't wait up for me"

She turns into the Cyber-Wasp and flies out through the AC unit and into the New Gotham sky.

Now it's time to see what kind of trouble I can get into.

 

[blah]

He glares at the man and grinds his teeth and then looks back at the man. What did he say his name was...

"Right Parker. Now I remember follow me" Kingsley and him walked out of the office. They headed toward the elevator without saying a word. He was still cooling off from that incident in the office. They both enter the elevator and Kingsley pushes for the basement. It goes down a few floors and the doors open.

"Welcome Mr. Parker this is where we make the magic"

WOW! What a week!
First I get to sign a half a million dollar deal with a gret metropolitan newspaper! And now I get to work under this brilliant man, eccentric though he may be.

If God wants to kill me now, I'll die too happy!

However...
I still can't take my mind off that other guy. I didn't get a warning from Sbyder, but that's not what concerns me. It was the lack of response from the little blue guy that makes me uneasy.

Enough!

I gotta concentrate on the nirvana I'm experiencing now, lest I lose it.

I sent out an ad in the news and all over campus about amazingly cheap rooms for rent. I think that it qualifies as doing my part of the community. That, and being the customed hero Blue Sbyder!

 

[blah]

(Iron Lantern)

"Awww. Did I miss the party again. Well I guess I finaly get that challange I wanted."

I jump up and fly into the air.

"Now will you please drop the lady. Or I will just make you."

I shot him with a beam that came from my hands....he falls on his back, still holding on to her. As he started to get up I flew stright at him and before he can move I slam into him with tramindis force. He flew back into a brickwall that barly cracked. I took the lady away from him and set her back at her desk.

Amazing!

The Spectographic optical abilities that I gained from a Venutian Spy inform me that Iron Lantern's armour is not an armour at all!

It is some sort of hard light projection mixed with sophisticated energy matrix shielding that gives the illusion of a suit of armour.

Truely Amazing!

Being hit by his beams is a small price to pay in order to fully analyze and appreciate this fantastic design. I am now more confident than ever in Thanoseid's interest in this human.

"No was that so hard." I say to him while looking over at a lead statue of Hal Stark. I shoot my beam again and pull it right of the ground. "This Hal Stark, hes a good looking guy. I guess he will have to build a new one. To bad though." I slam the statue right into this ugly pile that I have been whooping. "And I wanted a challange, o well, mabey next time."

I start to walk away, I open the door, then...

WHAT DID HE SAY?

that's the last straw! No one calls Sigma, Conqueror of souls, a non-challange!

"Say your prayers, Insects!", I roared as prepared to fire the arsenotian telepathic attack known as 'the living darkness' ,"You now face the Conqueror of worlds!"

I engulfed the emerald idiot in a cocoon of dark telepathic cloud...

 

[TheTurtle]

(Trevor Castle)

The problem with going after the White Whale now is - he thinks he owns me. He thinks I won't dare coming after him again - after the last time. I need to send him a message.

I slam my fist into the guys face, then hit him with the butt of my rifle. he falls to the ground and I kick him in the face, a few teeth mixed with blood hit the ground. I pull him up. Red, Black and Blue. Next to nothing left of the guy, I slam his face into the wall, one, twice, three times.

I look around at the deserted Night Club, and smile to myself. The place is empty - all the guards taken out, the ravers gone when the first shot was fired. The police will be on their way, I can just about hear the sirens. I don't mind taking out a few corrupt cops...

The kid Im roughing up is The Whales son, gonna beat him within an inch of his life. He groggy now, and the sirens are getting louder.

I let him drop to the ground, and pull a knife outta my boot, I rip open his shirt and cut my skull into his chest. Not deep, just enough for it to bleed a little, there'll be a scar there all his life.

The Whale will get the message, he'll know.

I run from no-one. I fear no-one.

I turn to the door, the police cars are allready outside, I run to the stairs and begin heading up.

 

[ElectroFlare]

T"Clark?.....This is Logan.....So its Rogers now huh? Always told ya you looked like Roy Rogers, that is if you had dark hair......you didn't dye your hair did ya?"

I laughed at the idea.

"You're a smart guy Logan, you should be able to figure that out. Look, it's been a while and I need to get back in touch with this city. I think its time I tried to get along with this new world and time. I can be over there in the blink of an eye." I said and waited for the answer.

Get along with this time.

This country has lost all meaning, it has lost all its ideals and great purposes, and I was going to try and get along with it?

 

[TheTurtle]

(Trevor Castle)

I burst out onto the roof and pull out two Uzi-Pistols. The cops are heading into the club, a few have spotted me and are yelling to others.

I fire.

I make sure I don't kill any of them. Can't tell a good cop from a twisted cop by looking. I try and keep it to the legs and arms, running along the roof of the bar to avoid getting hit.

I hit the ledge, and jump down.

I don't land well, have to pick myself up - takes precious moments. I'm soon up and running again - but I don't know if it's SOON enough. Four of the six cops are out of action, only two left that can really threaten me. One jumps out from behind the bar, aiming his gun at me. I raise mine, aiming it directly at his head.

"I don't wanna kill you."

He laughs, but he's nervous. I can hear it. We stand there for about ten seconds and he starts sweating. I know now. I know that he doesn't want to pull that trigger any more than I do. The difference is, I've fought in wars. I can kill people without thinking about it. His partner comes up behind me, I glance at him. He's got one aimed right at my chest - cops and their rules, always go for the chest - you won't miss that way.

I'm gonna take a risk with the first one, the jumpy one. I spin around and shoot the first cop in the arm, he drops his gun, then I get him in the leg. The nervous one fires, but he hits my shoulder. I can handle it, but he's on me in no time. I have to fight him off, I slam him into the wall of the club. his grip loosens a little, and I elbow him in the gut. I reach for my gun and put it at his head.

"Trevor?"

I take a good look at him - he's aged a good bit since we were at school together. We weren't friends, but we knew each other. His friend behind me has gotten to his gun, clutching his leg, shuffling along the ground. I turn, holding the nervoud guy - Tommy from school, by the throat. I don't have a choice with this one...

I take him out. Head shot, I feel sick with myself. I turn to Tommy, and put the gun back to his head.

"Sorry. But no one can know"

I shoot him, and he falls to the ground. I walk off, feeling sick to my stomach....

Necessary casualties, I tell myself.

And I wonder if Trevor Castle really did die that day.

MST3K 4ever Cyber-Wasp

Cyber-Wasp glides gracefully through the New Gotham sky.

I am getting a view of the city that very few people will ever know about. I may only be 6 inches tall but right now I feel like I am 10 feet tall.

Just then a bird tries to pick her up. HEY BACK OFF TWEETY! She then slugs the bird in the stomach. The bird falls to the ground. Ahhh a reality check...okay I had it coming to me.

She then sees a fight in an apartment. She hovers near the window for a closer look. She sees a husband yelling and hitting his wife in-front of their children. Oh I gotta stop this.

Cyber-Wasp flies into the apartment through a crack in the window. She sees a computer. She flies to the computer and cuts it on leaving the external speakers turned off. It has a microphone attatchment that should work just fine.

She activates the phone program inside of the computer and contacts 911.

The operator says, "911 what is the nature of your emergency?"

Cyber-Wasp then activates the microphone and the operator hears the situation and says, "Mamm we are sending a unit over to your location immediately."

Cyber-Wasp flies outside of the computer and lands behind the printer. She watches in agony as the husband prepares to hit the wife, and just then one of the children jumps in the fray.

NO! Cyber-Wasp shrinks to 1 inch, flies towards the husband and hits him the groin. He drops like a stone moaning and groaning all the way down. The rest of the family is stunned.

The police finally arrive and break in the door. Cyber-Wasp takes cover behind the computer monitor.

One of the officers says, "Police everyone freeze!"

The family looks at the police just then a look of relief crosses the wife's face. She says starting to cry, "I have no idea how you all knew to come here, but thank you."

The officer says, "Well the 911 dispatcher heard it through your computer which you had on."

She replies, "I don't remember cutting on the computer or calling 911, but at this point I'll take help where I can get it."

The officer says, "I think I have a clear understanding what's going on here. I need you all to come down to the station to help sort it out. My question is how did he end up on the ground?"

The wife says, "I don't know, but my children and I will gladly come with you."

Just then a little girl says, "I saw what happened a fairy knocked him down. I saw it I saw it!"

The wife nods as if to say, "Sure, sure a fairy did that."

The police pick up the husband and take the rest of the family with them.

Well it may not have been stopping a super-villian, but not bad for a first time crime-fighter...and I seriously doubt I'll ever think of myself as a fairy but if that is what it taks to get the job done...so be it.

She then flies back out the window and onto the sky.

 

[Logan Howlett]

I laughed at the idea.

"You're a smart guy Logan, you should be able to figure that out. Look, it's been a while and I need to get back in touch with this city. I think its time I tried to get along with this new world and time. I can be over there in the blink of an eye." I said and waited for the answer.

Get along with this time.

This country has lost all meaning, it has lost all its ideals and great purposes, and I was going to try and get along with it?

"Yea come on over. I'd be glad to have you....and...theres someone I'd like to introduce you to. I have a feeling you two will have alot in common......see ya in a sec."

*CLICK*

"That was my friend Clark....the guy we were just talking about....he's not a metamutant, but he has more power than anyone you'll ever meet. He's the epitamy of truth, justice, and definately the American way! Should have just put an american flag on his shield instead of that alien symbol! Hmm....still don't know what drew him to that symbol so much....maybe because it looked like a big S!"

Charles walk over to me and take the phone from my hand and places a thrid plate down on the tabel along with a glass of champagne.

"Only the finest for the Worlds Finest..."

"You certainly know how to be hospitable, my thanks for this marvelous meal. None better could be found from the very gardens of Themyscira."

I delicately take a mouthful of vegetables. They are very finely cooked and my words were no mere lip service, even if I cannot eat the meat.

"You say, the 'American Way', I take it America is the name of your nation, but from what I have seen of it so far, it's way does not seem very just at all. If he fights to uphold this way of life, then he can be no great hero. What is so special about your 'American Way'?"

"Hmmm, when yer right yer right. But the thing ya gotta understand is....Clark.....he's from a diffrent age. He was a hero, a symbol, during the 1940's. America was alot differnt then. We were a nation of principle, of ideals, now......now it seems like were either a nation of greed, or apathy. Clark is the true last boy scout. Ya see, he fought for this country during the height of its honor, when we were facing a tyranical leader of another country who wanted to have mass genocide of any races that didn't look like his. He killed millions upon millions of people, and America, and Supersoilder, steped in to defeat him. It was during this that he fought off a giant robot controlled by this dictator. It was going to kill our nations leader, but Supersoilder gave his life to stop it. He was frozen under the ocean until the 1980's when our government unsurfaced him for the sole purpace of haveing another weapon for a differnt war. He chose to fight for America once again, but after the war ended he realised that this nation had changed so much.....it no longer stood for anything he was fighting for......I fought by his side in that last war. "The Secret War" as they called it. He is a brave man....bravest I've ever met. He went out to find himself, and I haven't heard from him until just recently. Aparently....he's willing to risk his life for truth and justice once again."

 

[TheTurtle]

(Trevor Castle)

I get back to my place, and I slump against the wall. I slide down until I'm sitting there, staring into space.

I killed an innocent man.

When I started doing this, this job... I swore no one who didn''t deserve to die would die.

But he would have blown the whole operation - he could I.D me, can't have that. If they know who I am, if they know my name, they'll know I'm just a man. And they won't fear me.

So what if I have to kill innocents. I stand up and walk over to my guns, I pick one up and practive my aim. I can kill who I want. It's all for the greater good, if good men have to die to get rid of the scum that parade around this city, so be it.

From now on, anyone who gets in my way dies.

MST3K 4ever Cyber-Wasp

Cyber-Wasp is still riding high over her first act as a super-hero.

I did it! I did it! It feels good to have made a difference, but there is so much more left to due. There has got to be others out there like me...there has to be...and I think it's time I go find them. I think I got an idea.

She flies into the New Gotham Police department and hacks into their database.

Okay let's see what you got.

 

[ElectroFlare]

"Hmmm, when yer right yer right. But the thing ya gotta understand is....Clark.....he's from a diffrent age. He was a hero, a symbol, during the 1940's. America was alot differnt then.

So Logan's memory is pretty good. He tells the tale well.

And that Amazon woman is right as well. America no longer stands for what it used to. Maybe I can help restore it?

In a blur I'm sitting at the table with them.

"So, have I missed anything?"

In a blur I'm sitting at the table with them.

"So, have I missed anything?"

A blue blur rushes through the room, kicking up wind that blows through every coridor of the mansion.

"So, have I missed anything?"

Funny guy....

"No. The past twenty years.....they were just kinda boring.....Ahem, Supersoilder I'd like to intro duce you to Ororo......hope I said that right....she's an AMAZON.....from Theymiscria. Also...shes not only an Amazon, but an amazoinan princes, and on top of that she's a metamutant. The most current event at the time is some jerk off who used to work for me decided to hook up with a bunch of government spooks who want to round up metamutants everywhere and put 'em in concentration camps........sound familiar? When I, and the rest of my board slaped him down, he quit......but aperently found another buyer. Magnus Industries. That name sound familar? I'd say things have changed a bit since you've been gone, but ya know what I always say, the more things change the more they stay the same. My guess is, something big is about to happen. And on top of all this crap I have some nut job running around with a skull on his chest offing crime lords and flunkies left and right. I gota get out there and take care of this maniac before he can do more damage, and at the same time I have to worry about GIAN KILLER ROBOTS rounding up metamutants everywhere. Hmm, if I recal you have some expeirence with giant killer robots dontcha?"

He raises his eyebrow at me from across the table. Chuck opens the kitchen door and walks out carrying a platter full of food. He places down a series of entres and apetizers.

"Good evening Master Kent, I do hope you will be staying through the second course, I have prepared a country fried steak, served with apricot slices and corn, a recipe I have picked up from an old friend of mine from Kansas, I assumed that logicaly this would be to your likeing. And in the futer try harder to disguise you voice, if you thought you could fool me in the slightest you were absolutly wrong. I'll return soon with the second course, and soon after a dark choclate and walnut pie, served with pralien sauce and cream."

"Well.....hope that uniform of yours still streaches."
