In the Way

"Why do you always have to get in my way?" Billy demanded after having followed Captain Hammer out of the laundry mat, Penny had had to run back in because she had forgot something and Billy had taken this time to confront the other.

Captain Hammer stopped walking and turned to look at the disguised super villain, he just laughed, "I believe as a hero that's my job."

Billy glared at the other man, "But this is different."

Captain Hammer just shrugged, an amused look still on his face, "What can I say?"

"Leave Penny alone, you don't deserve her." Billy replied, trying to sound tough, something that he always found slightly difficult when he wasn't under his guise of Dr. Horrible.

Captain Hammer laughed again as he approached Billy, quickly grabbing him by the throat and pinning him against a wall, "And what exactly are you going to do if I don't?"

"Captain Hammer?" A female voice suddenly said from behind him, "What are you doing to Billy?"

Captain Hammer immediately released the mentioned male before turning around to look at Penny, "Oh this." He laughed, "He just wanted me to show him how I stopped this villain the other day."

"Oh…" Penny started, "Alright, well, we should be going. I'll see you next time Billy."

Billy rubbed at his neck before noding, "Yeah, see you then." He muttered.

"Maybe I'll stop by and visit again too." Captain Hammer said as he walked over to Penny before turning around and smirking slightly at Billy, who cringed inwardly, before he and Penny walked away.
