Title: Of Justice and Samurai Honor
Author: Star Lin
Pairings: No pairing except a little slash between Touma and Seiji.
Warnings: This is in honor of Agent G's great crossover, Justice League: The Spider. It will probably be a bit of an AU of his storyline, set within Justice League timeline. A little slash but no lemon or lime scenes. Just a kiss, maybe, between two guys. Also this takes place a few years after the Message OVA for Samurai Troopers.
Disclaimer: I don't own Samurai Troopers, they are owned by Sunrise, nor do I own Justice League or Ultimate Spider-Man. DC and Marvel own them. I don't even own the crossover story line. That belongs to the wonderful writing talent of Agent G. I just want to play around in it for a bit.
Brief summary: Peter is back from taking a bit of time of from the Justice League and watching over New York. A stay over in Metropolis finds him filling in for an injure Jimmy. Also a freelance photographer from Japan has just started working at the Daily Planet. But who is also the new hero in samurai armor?
Part 1
Peter sighed as he and Lois Lane made their way to Clark's apartment. "I'm glad the Kents didn't mind me dropping by their place. I just needed to get out of New York for a little while," he told Lois. It had been almost a year since he arrived in this realm. It had been memories of his old NY overlaid with this new version that had just been too much for the teenager to handle. "I still can't believe I lost it like that."
Lois gave a sad smile. "It has been a year since you came here," she said. "A break from New York probably did you some good but wouldn't have been easier to wait for Clark to fly you back."
Peter winced. "I already had stayed longer the I really should." Really, the Kents had tried to get him to stay longer but he didn't want to wear out his welcome. "Anyway, Clark got a call for help with some of the others," he said. He lowered his voice. "I also didn't know what kind of damage that research vessel would be in. From what John said, it was getting pretty beaten up from that typhoon." He gave a smile. "I'm glad that Cecil Morris was willing to fly me back to Metropolis."
"Actually, it's a good thing you did stop over from your visit with Jonathan and Martha," Lois said. At Peter raised eyebrow she sighed. "Jimmy was hurt while trying to get photos of an apartment building fire." She held up a hand. "He's fine--a couple of burns and a broken arm. It's mostly his pride that took the most damage. He's on desk duty until the cast comes off."
Peter smiled in relief that one of his first friends in Metropolis hadn't been seriously hurt. "I'll just store my stuff in Clark's apartment and then head over to the Planet building." He shook his head. "Didn't think this would become a working vacation," he said with a grin, following Lois once she unlock the door to Clark's apartment. He dropped the suitcase next to the couch, fishing around long enough to get his own camera.
----------
Wonder Woman release the towline for the ship that they had pulled out of the middle of a typhoon. The ship had been lucky not to take more damage then it did. Still there had been something strange about that storm. Well, not the storm itself but the ocean around the ship. An area of 50 yards around the ship had been calm sea. Batman's voice came over the radio. "I take you noticed the unusual sea condition?"
"Yes, I did," she said. "I do not know what could cause the ocean not to stir in reaction to the force of the storm."
The two superheroes join Superman and Martian Manhunter on the deck of the Research vessel, Shooting Star. "It was Mouri's luck that the ocean didn't go against us, Superman," the captain was saying.
"Mouri's luck?" J'onn asked.
"Ah, Professor Shin Mouri." the captain said. "Ever since he has been on board, we never had the ocean turn against us but we still get battered by storms." He pointed to a young man that was stripping off his soak shirt. While the rest of the crew and marine scientist looked weary from the battering they took from the wind and rain, Mouri looked exhausted.
"Professor!" the captain called out. He sighed as the reddish brown head gave a wave to the captain and then drove off the ship and into the ocean. "He always checks the ship for damage."
"I'll see if I can be of help to him," the Martian Manhunter said. He flew down to where the young man had come back up for air. "Do you require assistance?" J'onn could sense the exhaustion coming from the human. It felt as if Mouri had literal battle the storm itself.
Mouri blinked at the green skin alien and gave a smile, causing J'onn to blink at the trust that was showing in his eyes. "If you could check the other side of the ship," he said.
It was about thirty minutes later that J'onn deposit Mouri next to the captain. "No damage to report, Captain Daniel."
"Mouri, we never have any damage from the ocean when you're on board," Daniel said, causing a blush to form on the young man's cheeks. He turned back to the Justice League. "Could you give us a tow to the nearest harbor? I don't want to try the engines again until they been check."
----------
Lois explained to Peter about the fire and how Jimmy had got caught by a falling section of wall. "He was extremely lucky," she said as they both step out of the elevator and into the newsroom. The pair made their way over to Lois desk and stop when they found Jimmy there and using her computer. "Jimmy, didn't the doctor say that he wanted you to rest at home for a couple of days before coming back to work?"
Jimmy, his right arm in a sling and a bandage on his cheek, was printing out pictures from his camera. "Hi, Lois. Yes, he did but I got bored," he said with a grin. The grin grew as he saw Peter behind him. "Peter. Clark said that you were planning to stop by for a few days."
Peter grin back. "Yeah. Man, Jimmy, there are easier ways to get out of work." He chuckled at the look on Jimmy's face before turning serious again "You are going to be ok?"
"Yeah, the ER doctor said that I was lucky." Then grumbled something about kicking Ralph's ass from here into next week when the reporter came back from his own injures. "I told Ralph that we were too close but he never listens."
Peter leaned against the desk. "How long are you going to be stuck in the cast?"
"About six weeks," Jimmy said. "Perry will probably get you to cover for me until the new guy gets use to the city."
Lois and Peter looked at each other. "New guy?" Lois asked.
"Yeah," Jimmy said, tilting his head at a picture that he had up on the screen. "He's being interview by Perry right now." He smiled. "The guy was muttering about how he hated interviews." He frowned and clicked on print. There was something weird about that photo. He would have Peter and maybe Clark look at it. "I think he said his name was Sanada Ryo." He took the photo and handed it to Peter. "Can you make out what that is?" he asked. "I think the camera went off about the time the wall fell."
Peter took the picture and studied it. "It looks like someone dress up in some kind of armor." He moved behind Jimmy. "See if you can zoom in and detail it out." Jimmy nodded and section out the armored person from the rest of the picture.
Lois lean over Jimmy's other shoulder. "That looks like some kind of Japanese armor. Maybe something a Samurai would wear," she said. "Clark might be able to tell you if it is or not."
"Well, I'll like to thank him," Jimmy said. "I think this guy might have saved our lives when that wall fell." He paused and looked over toward Perry White's office as the door open. The older editor stepped out first, follow by a young black-haired man in his mid-twenties. He was dress in a semi-casual outfit and trying not to look uncomfortable in it. His hair was longish, brushing a little pass his shoulders. He also seemed to have the most striking blue eyes. Watching Perry shake the young man's hand, Jimmy stood up. "Looks like Sanada got hired."
"Jimmy, since you can't stay away," the editor said, "why don't you show Sanada around the pen?"
"OK, Perry," said Jimmy. "Can you finish up this run of pictures for me, Peter?"
"Sure," Peter nodded, taking his place in the chair. He noticed Lois move off toward the elevators and took a quick glance to see Clark stepping out of one of them. It was about ten minutes later that Jimmy brought Ryo by the desk. "Hey, just finishing up those pictures for you."
"Thanks." Jimmy said. He turned to the black-haired young man. "Peter, this is Ryo Sanada."
"Hey," Peter said, taking the hand that was held out to him. "The name's Peter Parker. I'll be filling in for Jimmy until you get a bit more settle." He gave a smile. "I take it that you are new to Metropolis."
"Yes, but not new to being in the US," Ryo said, returning the smile with one of his own. "I have been to New York and California when I was younger and I was in Florida about six months ago, helping a couple of my friends with moving into a new house."
"How long will you be in Metropolis?" Clark asked. Peter hadn't even notice that he had gotten to his desk. It looked like he was writing up a piece for the paper, probably the ship that the Justice League had helped.
"For a year, maybe. I'm not sure how long." Ryo said, running a hand through his hair. "Um, any ideas on where to look for an apartment?" he asked. "I'm staying at a hotel right now but I'll like to find a place that I can cook TV dinners in. I'm tired of fast food right now."
"Well, if Lois doesn't mind, you can drop by my apartment for dinner at least," Clark said. "Consider it a welcome to Metropolis party."
"I thought I heard someone say party," Lois said. She took Ryo's hand. "Perry said that you just got hired. I'm Lois Lane." She placed a hand on Clark's arm. "This is Clark Kent." She turned her attention back to Clark. "Now what was this about a party?"
Clark explained to Lois what Ryo had told them. The young man gave a sheepish look. "No," he said, "I don't want to put you through all that trouble."
"It's not any trouble," Clark said. "Peter is staying with me for a few days before heading back to New York and I already asked Lois to join us for dinner."
Ryo smiled. "Well, if you don't mind me wearing jeans, I'll come."
Clark also returned the smile. "Here is the address for my apartment," he said, writing down his address. He also added his cell phone number. "If you get lost, just call and I can pick you up."
"I should be able to find it," Ryo said, taking the address and slipping it into his pocket. Perry's voice came from his office. "I guess he has something for me to do." With a wave, he made a beeline for Perry's office.
"Clark, could you take a look at this picture?" Jimmy asked, handing the zoom picture to Clark. "I took it yesterday during the accident. Lois said that this guy was wearing some kind of samurai armor."
Clark took the picture, studying it for a moment. "It's samurai but I don't think I've seen a design like this before." He looked at the other three. "Best to try and online search. It might be our best bet."
"I'll take Peter so he can act as my fingers," Jimmy grinned. Peter stood up and followed after the other Photographer to use one of the other computers. Hopefully, they would find something within a few hours.
