Shaddow Of The Scourge chapter three.
Last time on Shaddow of The Scourge
After getting hit by one of Iron Man's Repulser Blast Kat discovered she had gained the power of flight but that's only the tip of the Iceberg when it comes to her powers.
--------
New York First National Bank
18:00
Considering it was in a city full of Super villains it had been a quiet day for the bank, in fact the only trouble there was a guy overacting to being refused a loan due to CCJs, unfortunately the quiet day was about to end.
Six youths entered the bank, all of them where wearing black and the leader (a tall redhead) approached one of the bank tellers.
"May I help you?" The women said not looking up from her computer. "Yeah, you can "help me" by getting on the floor." It was then the women looked up to see a silenced nine millimetre pistol pointed right at her head, the leader nodded to the others who pulled out Assault Rifles from their leather jackets. "EVERYONE ON THE GROUND NOW!" One of the other gang members yelled and everyone who wasn't a member of the gang complied. The redhead turned to the gang members.
"You two, keep an eye on these losers, everyone else come with me." The leader ordered and the gang members complied, the two that where left joked with each other whilst keeping their guns trained on the hostages.
meanwhile
Kat landed on the roof, she know knew the full extent of her powers and was ready to make herself known to world.
Her superhero costume was black and purple with Chinese writing on it, it consisted of a tight, sleeveless t - shirt, tight pants, boots and a mask that was like Huntress's, her mom didn't want her putting her life on the line but she knew with her powers she was more than capable of defending herself, she entered through the skylight and studied the scene bellow her.
"Time to make an entrance." She thought as she took flight and opened her mouth, flames came out and melted one of thugs guns.
back with the thugs"
"WHAT THE HELL!" One of the thugs (an African American) yelled in surprise as he watched his gun melt, he quickly dropped it. "Those flames came from the ceiling, my guess is Dragon Man's reformed." His blond accomplice quipped, unknown to them Kat landed right behind them. "If you don't mind I'd prefer not to be compared to that looser." The thugs span around and saw Kat. "On the ground know." The blond ordered pointing his gun to Kats temple. "Not going to happen" Kat replied as she took flight and melted the blond thug's gun. "You're going to pay for that." The thug said as they charged Kat.
Kat floored the blond with a right hand and kicked the African American in the jaw kocking them out quickly.
meanwhile"
The leader and the rest of the gang was trying to get the vault code out of the security guard when they herd the commotion, they returned to the lobby and saw their teamates out cold and Kat standing over them, the leader stepped forward. "Great another superhero; what do you call yourself anyways?"
"Work in progress." "Talk about lame Superhero names." One of the dumber gang member quipped. "Idiot, she hasn't thought of one yet." The leader snapped. "Sorry boss." "Never mind, shoot her full of holes we can get on with it." The others nodded and pointed their guns at Kat, she took flight and melted the guns with her flames." Okay that didn't work, beat the hell out of her after all she's just another superhero." The gang members charged but they where quickly dealt with. "What are you." "Just another superhero that's about to beat the hell out of you." With that Kat sprung forward and knocked him silly with a punch. She flew outside the bank and saw an ROH poster with "American Dragon" Brian Danielson on the front. "That's it, I'll call myself American Dragon." Kat thought as she flew off.
meanwhile
Unknown to the crowd a man was watching Kat fly away.
The man was tall and muscular, he was wearing a full body costume that was blue with a huge bullseye on his chest. He was also wearing a belt with various holstered compact machine guns.
"That new superhero could prove a problem for the organisation." The man said to no one in particular, his voice was a thick English one. "Operative, we have a mission for you." A voice said through his earpiece, the man grinned under his mask. "Understood"
Next time on Shaddow Of The Scourge
Kat faces her first Superhuman battle and it's not an easy one as she faces the mysterios and formidable Target.
Footnotes
For an idea of the couler scheme that Kat uses in her costume think Huntres's costume in JLU.
People may renember Target from that review I did for Invicible Iron Man.
