Hoody Boy: Elseworld Stories
The Adventures of Haley Brown
Arc Three, Part Six with Epilogue: The End and The Beginning


The Miata pulled to a stop in front a massive sign. Haley got out and looked at it. Welcome to Evan City, it read. He stared at it for a moment. Dusk had settled and the sign lit up for him. He got back into the Miata and slammed the door.

"My my! Haley Brown. We haven't seen you in Ages."

"Thanks doc, how is ole Sara?" Haley asked.

"She's doing much better actually." The Psychologist said looking over, "Come on, she'll be happy to see you."

"I bet..." Haley thought and the two of them walked through the ward.

Haley sat down in a chair and waited a minute, two minutes. A Loud buzz snapped his attention back. A Girl with messy red hair, white silky skin and dressed in a mental patients uniform stepped into the room and sat down.

"Hello Haley." Sara said looking at him.

"Hello Mom."

"So you figured it out hmm?"

"Yeah, yeah I did. I figured I chat with you before I went face to face. Probably keep me calm, because when I see you, it'll be the last thing you see on this earth."

"Strong words Haley, I felt a twinge of fear."

"Let the girl go, you've been in her head for 3 years. Give this girl back a life."

"Not till you and me are finished talking."

"Alright, couple of thing I want to get smoothed out before I come to finish you off. Why did dad never tell me you were a Villain?"

"Simple. He didn't know, neither of you did. My turn, why did you never think of trying to get ahead with your abilities?"

"It's after you see your best friend and father figure get killed in front of you that you tend to never want to be like that."

"You are though."

"Like hell I am. I never took a contract on anyone, I never killed anyone that wasn't doing something bad." Haley whispered angrily.

"Ah, you think you're justified. Well, you've probably killed more people and destroyed more lives then some of the Villains I know."

"My turn. When I get pissed and I mean raving, I see things, numbers, calculations and that sort of thing."

"Ah yes, you took on my ability, the ability to see it all. One of my more powerful assets."

"Well, I used that to beat Slade."

"Slade is a total fool to you and me. He has no idea the power you possess nor will he ever come close to it. My turn, How is Batman?"

"Dracula is fine. Him and Me don't see eye to eye on a few things but we talk. My turn, how many more powers do you have?"

"The ability to control someone's mind, they have to be weak. Andrews was weak and so is this girl. And simply just being quick and agile."

"That's a laugh, how the hell did you make it in the villain world?"

"Unlike you," Sara growled, "I could play with your mind, cause you to see things, hear things that weren't here."

"Did Granddad and Grandma know?" Haley asked.

"No, they never did." She replied smiling, "My turn, just how far do you think you can go?"

"About what?"

"Revenge? Do you think you can kill me?"

"I'll go as far as I have to, and trust me, I'll be enjoying every moment. Now let this girl go, and leave a mental note apologizing."

"Fine, See you soon Son."

"I'm not your son." Haley muttered.

Sara's eyes flickered a moment and she collapsed into convulsions.

"DOCTOR!" Haley shouted.

Three men burst into the room and crowded around her. They lifted her up and took her out of the room leaving Haley sitting there.

"I apologize for all of this Haley." The Doctor answered.

"It's alright, if you would, please show me the door."

"Of course, right this way." He said.


Haley got into the Miata and started down the hill. The City smiled back at him with flashing lights and signs. He ran through down town towards the suburbs outside of town. It took a few minutes but he pulled up to a small house. Thunder boomed in the distance and a strong wind roared down the street. Haley stepped onto the front porch of his house and knocked on the door. It swung open absently unlocked and hit the wall. Haley stepped over the threshold.

A fist rammed into his cheek and sent him plowing into the wall. Haley looked over.

"Hi mom."

"Hello honey, how was your DAY!" She shouted and threw a lamp.

Haley batted it out of the way and rushed her. They collided and she fell onto her back. Haley smashed his fist into her face. She reached out and started strangling him. Haley put his foot on her chest and pushed off from her grasp. He stepped back and shook himself off.

"You ready now?" Haley asked.

"Are you?"

Haley shot at her and threw a punch, she shoved it out of the way and one two punched his gut. She grabbed his head and slammed it into her knee. Haley flew onto his back. Using momentum and shot back to his feet and stood up. He threw a round house kick, she grabbed it. Haley whipped around with his other foot and sent it careening into her face. She spun to the wall and crashed into it.

Haley backed off a second and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. She ran at him and lunged. Haley grabbed her head and pulled her into a head lock. He yanked her into the kitchen with a heave. She bowled into the chairs and got up holding her head. Haley ran right at her and went into a flying kick. The force blew into her sending her crashing into the wall.

"HAH!" Haley shouted.

She got up and looked at him, her eyes were as cold now, ruthless. Haley remembered that look, he saw it in one fleeting moment before she was shot in the court room seven months prior. Haley through a punch, she grabbed his arm and came down with a elbow. Haley barely pushed it out of the way, he did not need a broken arm right now. He felt his brain override and he saw the numbers again. She through a punch double the allotted speed, she must've hit it to. Haley ducked the punch and blocked a hook with his left arm. He sent his forehead into her chest and pulled up bashing her chin. She stumbled back and sent a kick into Haley chest flipping him over in mid air till her fell onto his back.

Haley pushed back and got to his feet. His mom threw a claw hand at him trying to slash him. Haley grabbed her fingers and snapped a few of them and twisted her arm. He sent a kick to her ribs which dislocated her arm and broke a few ribs also.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're getting slower!" Haley shouted.

"Kiss my ass you brat!"

"You're getting old bitch, and no one likes saggy tits." Haley remarked.

She charged at him, Haley threw a punch directly into left boob. She looked up and cried out in agony. Haley whipped around and sent another kick into her ribs pushing her back to the ground.

"You have any idea how pissed I am!" Haley shouted, "You have and clue as to how much torment you gave me!"

"Enough." She replied and pulled out a gun.

A white hot sensation tore into his arm. Haley winced and spun around to the ground. He grabbed his right arm, blood shot onto his fingers and smeared onto his white t-shirt.

"You are such a disappointment." She said looking at him, getting up. She wiped trail of blood from the side of her mouth, it began free falling again after she had.

"And that means what to me you whore." Haley said laying there holding his arm.

"It should mean everything." She said pointing the gun at his head.

"Well, I did not want to say anything but you really need to get some self help." Haley answered.

She sent a kick into his face knocking him flat on his back, "I hate you... I hate your father, I hate your friends, I hate your principles and most of all, I hate heroes."

"Good, keeping hating them," Haley said reaching behind him, "Because I'm a vigilante."

The Vesper fired off and the bullet crashed into his mothers Ankle. A Crack and Pop were heard and she tried keeping her balance but fell sideways like a tree. Haley stood up, his presence almost taking the room up. He aimed the gun and fired blowing his moms hand clean off. The gun clattered to the floor and she wailed out in ungodly pain.

"You're a monster!" She shouted.

"Am I now?" Haley asked, "So what does that make you? A Man? A Dog?"

Haley aimed the gun and fired it. The bullet smalled right next to her head, "Or a Monster?"

She breathed heavily, her thoughts racing through everything, "I knew you couldn't kill me!"

"That would lower me to scum, but you'll fear me. No matter where you go, you'll feel lick of fear every time you hear of me or see me on the news."

"You'll never be rid of me!" She shouted.

"Maybe I will." Haley said, " But he stove is on, it's gas and it's started filling the room. And remember this, just because I never killed you, doesn't mean I have to save you."

Haley grabbed the door handle and pulled it shut. He walked down the steps of the porch and down the sidewalk to the drive way and got into the Miata. He turned the key, started the car and pulled out. He switched the gear to drive and drove away.


All his life, Haley had had strokes of good and bad luck. He found a girl, she went crazy and stabbed him in the heart. He talked with his uncle and he almost lost him. One could take a stand against fate, nothing was ever set in stone, something can go different if you want to change it. Haley changed his fate. His mother wanted him to be evil, but he chose to do something different, he chose to be something of a symbol. He was a symbol of defiance, of the human ability to stand against adversity to change and fate and destiny. He, Haley Brown, was a Hero.


"Superman are you alright?"

"Fine Diana." Superman said looking at the engraving above a Hoody.

"Just looking at one of the most dangerous things this world has ever seen?"

"No, I was thinking of the person who was wearing it."

"Haley Brown?"

"Yes. I would've liked to have met him at least once."

"Maybe you will." Zatanna said walking past them.

Superman turned, "What do you mean?"

"Haley's alive, its all over the magical world of an Illegal Resurrection. He was the person who was revived." She said looking at them.

"Tell them that was a League affair." Superman said crossing his arms.

"Already did. I'll talk with them about it." She said walking away.

"You going to try and find him now?" Wonder Woman asked.

Superman nodded, "I'll be out for a few days."


Haley walked out onto the roof of Uncle Jim's house. Superman stood with his arms crossed.

"Hello Haley Brown."

"Hello Superman, I heard you were at my funeral." Haley smiled.

"Yes I was, very dreary. Your friend must've really cared about you."

"They did."

"So are the rumors true, are you really retiring?"

Haley nodded, "Do you want that Hoody of yours back?"

"No, You guys can keep it. I'm done." Haley answered.

"You know you could've ask Batman for help."

"It was a personal affair. I didn't need him or the league to muck it all up."

"Understandable. Your mom, or Brown Recluse, after she turned neutral, we didn't keep track of her, we had..."

"Bigger fish to fry..." Haley said snatching the words out of Superman's mouth.

"Yeah we did. She was a minor villain, snatch and grabs, operated right here in Gotham. Batman did bust her and she cleaned up, or we thought she had."

"Supes, its alright man." Haley said, "Its done and over."

"Yeah you certainly finished it." Superman answered, "You took down a high profile Mercenary Slade Wilson and a Low Profile Villain, Tiffany Brown. So far you've proved to be a very, very dangerous individual."

"Not that dangerous." Haley said smiling.

"Modesty as well." Superman said looking at him.

"Well isn't every superhero modest in some way or another?" Haley remarked.

"Good point." Superman said pointing his finger at him.

"You want a sandwich?" Haley asked.

A Few minutes later the two of them were downstairs, Haley taking a knife and spreading some Mayo on a turkey sandwich. He put the piece of bread on top of the turkey and handed it to Superman. He wiped the knife clean and ran it under hot water and made himself a peanut butter and jelly. He sat down on the other side of the small coffee table and smiled.

"Haley, The league needs people like you."

"I'm retired Superman, I told you."

"You don't have to fight, Haley. You can be an adviser or something like that."

"Thanks..." Haley said, "But no thanks."

Superman set the plate down and looked him in the eye, "Hmm?"

"I said thanks but no thanks. The Justice League is fine and all and I bet the pay would set me for life but I think I'm done with hero work." Haley said.

"Alright, I understand, you're retired."

"Yep and happy about it." Haley said, "Good evening Superman."

Superman stepped out of the house and turned back at Haley who waved back. He smiled and launched off into the sky. Haley stood there for a second. Two arms draped themselves round his neck and pulled him back and kissed him. Alice pulled back and let Haley gain his balance.

"Hello my little rose." Haley whispered in her ear.

"Hello you crazy little nut." She whispered back and kissed him again.

The two of them rolling onto the couch and kissed again.

Two Weeks Later
-----------------

"You two sure about moving?" Uncle Jim asked.

"Yeah Uncle Jim, we're leaving Gotham." He said looking at them.

"Alright. I don't doubt you probably have a lot of money now." Uncle Jim said looking at them, "So where you heading?"

"Probably Metropolis. I sent an application into a newspaper, the Daily Planet. They gave a call back saying they'd love to take me."

"That's good, Well you two, best of luck." Uncle Jim said smiling.

Alice and Haley went up to his room. They'd be sleeping in the same room for the last week and a half. She was somewhat put off with Haley quitting hero work but she respected it. He had a lot of things happen to him by that harlot that was his mother.

They fell asleep hugging each other...


The End.

For now anyways.
