Chapter 10- The Crook and the Cop
Standing to the side, Batman easily hid a smirk from the rest of the League. It had been amusing to all of them to watch Flash, the youngest and most arrogant of the team, talk to Gear as if he were mature. Although, in those brief moments, everyone there had witnessed a change in both young men. Obviously, Gear had done it to keep himself going and catch the crooks. But something else had driven Flash, and Batman wasn't sure what. Thinking about it, it really didn't matter as Superman and Gear attempted to get each other to agree about which course of action to take. Eventually, they came to a mutual agreement as Flash, Green Lantern, and himself went down the ladder.
Gear wouldn't settle for walking calmly across the roof before climbing the stairs if it was the last thing on earth. He had the intention of flying through the window, and nobody could stop him. Sure, after Flash's speech, he wouldn't strangle the first guy he saw, but there was no way he was going to waist more time then absolutely necessary. Everyone else now flew down, finding the apartment they were looking for had its window open. Wonder Women couldn't help but wonder why it was always so easy to just fly right in.
The second the five heroes (Gear, Superman, J'onn, Hawkgirl, and Wonder Woman) entered through the window, two terrified faces looked up from their game of poker, a beer can in each hand. One of them, a brown haired man, sputtered out the beer he had just sipped, leaving a disgusting stain on the floor. The other one, a blond, remained seated, staring in horrified disbelief at the scene in front of him. He seemed to want to follow his friends' action, but decided against it, seeing as how this was his apartment. The blond started slowly standing up but stopped when Superman moved forward slightly. Deciding it was better to stay seated, he eased himself back into the cheap chair.
Looking around, Gear saw that the place was in shambles. The couch was dirty and tufts of cotton stood out. The small fold-up table where the men were playing cards stood in-between the couch and TV, which looked like it had died in the earthquake of the century. No wonder the guy robbed a bank, thought Gear, trying to find a spot that wasn't grimy and/or sticky, although it didn't seem to exist.
Letting a smug grin appear on his face, Gear stepped forward toward the terrified men " Nice place you got here." He said, all the while looking around casually as if the whole scene playing out now happened on a day-to-day basses. " So." Gear's grin dropped, "Which one of you is Halo." He already knew, but revenge was all too sweet to spoil at the moment. Right then, the blond fell out of his chair and made a mad dash to the door with the intent of getting the hell out of there. It was, of course, a failed attempt, for when he opened the door, the faces of the Flash, Batman, and Green Lantern met him.
" Going somewhere?" Asked Green Lantern, and amused look spread across his face.
Ug, I know, I know, it's short, but I'll try and update soon? Please review! Hope you all liked it!
