Revenant
Chapter Seven
Justice League Watchtower
"J'ohn, there is a situation in Metropolis... Batman and myself can handle it" Superman reported in.
"Roger that Superman, I will monitor your progress" J'ohn said and opened a communication window for any news reports.
J'ohn Jones the martian manhunter, the only martian left in the universe stuck on watchtower duty, which over the last few years has gotten more complex. Especially the extention created over three years ago forthe use of a prison.
Moving away from the main console and looked out of the large window into the darkness of space. The look of the stars soothed every member of the Justice League.
Virgil appeared near the doorway leading to the prison block. Oh no... J'ohn He thought seeing J'ohn staring into the reaches of outer space.
Even though they told him that only his chosen one could see him, he was still worried about J'ohn's powers.
Taking a deep breath, he moved into the prison block to re-check the top security prisoners.
J'ohn felt a twing in his psysic powers as something had just happened nearby.
"Strange" He mutted, looking around the empty floor.
J'ohn moved away from the window and decided to check on the prison block.
Hotstreak paced back and forth in his cell and was clicking his fingers impationately trying to start up some sort of flame.
"You know its useless flame-head!" A voice sneered from the cell opposite him.
"Doesn't hurt to try!" Hotstreak sneered back to his cell mate, Ebon who unlike Hotstreak wore a metal coat. This coat bound his powers while the technology in Hostreak's cell bound his.
Hotstreak punched the wall hard, which over the last few months has made an ever increasing dent. "Damn it!" He said, flexing his hand.
Virgil held a blank face while watching Hotstreak punch the wall a few more times while Ebon watched as if entertained by this.
Never change... he thought as Hotstreak sat down hard on the bed.
The door seperating the watch tower to the prison block opened and allowed J'ohn Jones inside.
Hm? Virgil wondered, moving past the two cells and leaned on one foot near the back wall of the prison.
J'ohn walked upto a hidden panel, he laid his hand palm out and the panel moved to reveal a computer console.
"He has been at it again..." J'ohn muttered as he looked at the monitor before typing a few thigns before closig the hidden apartment.
"Will have to fix that!" J'ohn said to himself and walked down to check the prisoners.
Virgil felt that he had seen enough for now. That is enough... He thought before disappearing away from the watch tower.
Abandoned Gas Station of Solitude
Richie had made sure that he had finished typing up a new idea that had formed but he was only half focused on the task at hand. His main thoughts were remembering the appearance of Virgil's ghost or whatever he was, This is silly... I mean, sure there could be ghosts but usually those are revenants of past memories or something... Richie thought as he stoppped typing and stared at the screen.
"Hey Richie! Ready to go?" Adam said, coming into the headquaters.
"Whoa, what happened there?" Adam asked, stretching over to the other side of the room and saw the mark where the zap cap hit it a while ago.
"Oh, just a new experiment... tried to increase the power of the zap caps" Richie said, his fingers a blur on the keyboard in front of him.
"Um, ok... so you ready to go? Robert has cooked today" Adam said, moving so he was standing behind Richie.
"Hm?" Richie mumbled as he continued to type, but at a slightly faster pace.
Adam briefly wondered who would be able to type faster, Superman or Richie but he quickly shook that thought out of his head. "For the meal Robert's cooking tonight! I've come to collect you" Adam said, speaking a little clearer.
"Oh yeah... let me just save this and we'll be able to go" Richie said, realising what Adam had just said and with a move of a mouse his work was saved.
Dakota Graveyard
Virgil was sat deep in meditation once again and was going over what he had done over the past few short hours.
He had finished reporting what he had saw at the Justice League's watchtower to his superiors and was now slowly coming out of his meditation.
Standing up on his feet, he opened his eyes and looked around before looking at his hand. wonder if Richie would be able to touch me... as I'm not a ghost but not an angel either Virgil thought and then stretched a cramp where his wings appeared when he was up in heaven.
Bit worried about how he managed to sense me though... maybe his powers are growing... but then if he is becoming a physic then maybe J'ohn can see me... have to wait and see... Virgil thought creating a energy disc before going off for a flight around the city to think more about these thoughts.
