Keystone City
"Gentlemen! Behold!"
Micky Rory, better know as Heatwave stands up at the table the four men are seated at and holds his arms in the air.
"Rory, sit your ass down before I sit it down for you."
Rory rolled his eyes and sat back down.
"Jesus, Wizard. I just watched a whole mess of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and I've always wanted to do that at one of our little meetings."
Weather Wizard shakes his head and looks at the other two men sitting across the table from him. It was a little ritual they always did, once a week they all got together at the local Applebee's and swaped notes on their life, or lack of one.
"Without further ado, let me introduce the latest member of our Rogue Support Group, fresh out of prison...Sam Scudder 'The Mirror Master' wadda ya say, Sammy?"
Mirror Master looks around and flashes a weak smile.
"Nothing much, Mark. Staying at a halfway house and my parole officer got me a job at the Pizza Hut on Carmine Street in Keystone."
"Can't be worse than Cap's job, right Digger?"
The only member of the group to reamin silent, George "Digger" Harkness finally speaks.
"Yeah, working at Broome's Sporting Goods in the Central Mall is such a fast paced job."
Captain Boomerang adds a touch of sarcasm to his words.
"Yeah, well it beats working for your brother-in-law's roofing company. I swear, that man's a hardass."
"Umm, is this it? Where's Lenny and James?"
"Cold got pinched a few years ago, last I heard he was doing federal time in New York. Trickster was in our little group, but last week he gave into that little devil on his shoulder and got grabbed by the Flash, the old man Flash."
The waitress finally comes over to the table with a pad and pencil.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Beer. Foster's if ya got it.
"Ice water is fine with me."
"Coke."
"Milk for me."
The three former Rogues look at Weather Wizard, he just shrugs.
"For my ulcer."
They chit chat for ten minutes, talking about life during, before, and after prison. At the ten minute mark is when I zoom in.
"Gentlemen, hope you don't mind if I have a seat."
"You!"
"C'mon, Flash. We've been living the straight and narrow. Trickster was off his rocka to start with."
I squeeze next to Captain Boomerang and Mirror Master.
"Good to see you out, Sam. I'm not here to fight, I'm here because I need your help."
"The Flash, The Fastest Man Alive needs our help?"
"Shocking."
"Amazing."
"Shocking and amazing."
I roll my eyes at Rory's remarks and press on.
"There's a new masked man in town. Can't get a name or MO. But, whoeve it they are, they're killing mob thugs and trying to get a foothold in the twin cities. I've searched every puke hole I can think of with no luck, nobody wants to talk to me....but you four....now that's a diffrent story."
"Wait a minute. You want us to snitch?"
"No. Not snitch, just help out. It wouldn't be hard, you four are the some of the most well know names in the twin cities, you've terrorized Keystone and Central for almost twenty years. It'll be a snap. That's all I ask."
"Let's talk it over."
I get up from the table and wait while they huddle and talk. Occasionally looking back at me to make sure I'm not listening.
"Okay, we'll do it. But what do we get in return?"
"Well, I'll owe you all one favor. and considering who I am, that can be very useful."
"Okay, can I use my favor now? Run and go get me a souvenir from China...."
I zip in and out so fast that they barely notice what I have in my hand.
"Here, Rory. A chinese finger trap and a Yao Ming jersey."
"Aww. I should have waited to cash my favor in."
You know what I'm talkin about...*stares*
