I used to be one of the best, but they denied it to me. They all did. Billy Mac thought to himself as he sat on a lonely bar in the outskirts of the city of Metropolis, this was the location where he had spent most of his days for the past three years. After escaping by the skin of his teeth from the moon he had used up all his remaining power getting back there, that stupid little imp had failed him and was now dead. So too was his revenge.
"Can I get another glass of Jack?"
'Eight dollars."
Billy reached out to his back pocket and got out a his last ten dollars giving it to the bartender who gave him two dollars back. And with that he drank another glass of the harsh fire of the whiskey, he had nearly five for the past year everyday. Needles to say, his liver was not pleased, neither was the bar keep or the regulars who spent their days there. Sitting their quietly, Billy was on his fourth glass of Mr.Daniels one more and it would be back to the old tales of his former glory and eventual end to his carear. He looked over the television and saw the current Justice League all fighting the world´s heroes; Superman, Wonder Woman,Green Lantern, Flash all of them and there Billy said quietly to himself;
"That should be me...."
And without hesitation he chugged down the remaining parts of his drink in one gulp the alchol send shiffers down his body that was now beaten by his drinking. All the regulars looked towards him wondering what he was going to do now, and he pushed the glass forward to the bar keep.
"One more."
"Ten dollars!"
"But it was eight just two seconds ago......"
"Ten dollars."
Billy sighed and put his hands on his face;
"Look man, I´ve got no cash on me. Can´t you just put that on my tab?"
"You haven´t paid your tab in over six months, you still owe me seventy for all the times I´ve given you some free beers and scocth. Come on Billy, pay up!"
"But I don´t have the money."
"Fine, then get out. I´ve been too laid back with you and that ends now, pay up right now or get out till you get that money!"
"Yeah Billy, why don´t you use your powers or Super hero buddies to help you out!" There was laughter around the bar, they had been waiting to say that for a while now.
"**** YOU, TERRECE!" Billy grabbed a near by beer bottle and broke it and rushed over to the man who had just mocked him, but he was now very drunk and his balance was gone and as soon as he had left his chair he tripped up and fell on the floor. The bar rawed with laughter.
"Right that´s it Billy!" The bar keep got out of his table and walked over grabbing Billy Mac by the shoulders.
"Let go of me! I used to be Triumph, I could have vaporised this whole bar if I wanted to!" the bar keep chucked him out the door and into the streets; Billy´s head knocked over a street curb. 'Why would the Justice League ever accept a ******* like you!" the bar keep said. Billy was now angry but his words came up mumbling.
"You´ll bee sorry! Yoou pricks! I swear, you will! I´ll get my powers back! I´ll be special again....I´ll...."
"Shut up!" one of the regulars said shutting the door as Billy crawled to a hallway trying to finish his sentance.
"....I´ll.........I´ll be a hero again....."
