CrimsonStreak #2

"Fire & Ice"

(With Zach)

Zach or CrimsonStreak or better yet Streak for those who can't pronounce the full thing was speeding down the streets and through several cars as he was heading to the bank. Meanwhile at the bank a man in a ice powered suit froze several policemen who attempted to arrest him as he eyed the lady. "Alright lady put the money in the bag because I don't have time for this. Do it or die!" he warned as he formed a ice spear as the lady gulped and did so.

A policemen fired a bullet at him which narrowly missed as he growled before throwing it at the policeman. As the policeman was about to struck with the ice spear a red blur appeared taking away the policeman. "We'll about time he showed up.." the man snickered as Streak looked at the officer. "You alright?" Streak asked as the policeman nodded and went to get back up. "Well look who decided to show up and save the day, Mr. Speedster" the man quipped as Streak raised an eyebrow. "And exactly who are you dude? Mr. Snowcone? Frosty? Jack Frost? The Abomninal Snowmans cousin?" Streak quipped as he immediately evaded an incoming ice spike. "Okay so far I've interacted with you about a few minutes and your already annoying me. And second the names Blizzard!" the man now entitled Blizzard exclaimed as Streak rolled his eyes.

"Okay that's the lamest name ever. That name is basically what happens during the winter so theirs no school a day!" Streak exclaimed as he sped towards Blizzard landing a hard right fist knocking the villain back a few inches. "Heh...lucky shot...but it won't happen again" Blizzard smirked as he suddenly froze the ground turning into that of a ice skating rink as Streak now found himself trying to keep his balance. "What's the matter can't keep your balance?" Blizzard smirked as he then blasted Streak into a wall leaving a small dent. "I honestly expected more from you CrimsonStreak but what can you do against amateurs?" Blizzard joked as he suddenly vanished in a cloud of smoke with Streak picking himself up groaning in pain. "Zach do you read me?" the communication line revealing itself to be Charlotte ran as Streak nodded. "Yeah I can read you" he stated. "Well where's the bad guy?" Charlotte asked as Streak rubbed his neck. "Well he got away and I think I have to make my exit" he said quickly noticing the police cars drive about.

Before Charlotte could even respond Streak had sped off away from the bank.

"Ugh my back" Zach groaned as he took off his mask before noticing that Krane & Charlotte gave him eyebrows as he sighed. "Let me guess, you two saw what happened?" he asked as they nodded and he groaned. "Well that's great and you know what else? Blizzard is still around.." Zach sighed as he took a seat with Krane raising an eyebrow.

"Wait he calls himself the Blizzard?" Krane asked as Zach nodded his head. "Yes he does. I mean out of all the super villain names to call yourself he chose Blizzard. Am I the only one who has a problem with this?" Zach asked as Charlotte shook her head no. "Nah I mean sure it may seem silly but it's not over the top and it is unique" Charlotte stated as Zach simply rolled his eyes. "Okay name one villain with a silly name" Zach questioned as Krane & Charlotte thought for a moment.

"I have one...Captain Boomerang is one" Krane stated as Charlotte said the name "Shredder" much to Zachs amusement.

"I cannot believe that theirs a villain by the name of Shredder. What's he up against? Mutant Turtle Ninjas?" Zach joked as Krane let out a chuckle with Evans soon entering with a IPad in his hand. "Oh hey Dr. Evans look I know your mad and-" Zach stopped when Evans held a hand up.

"No need for you to say a word Zach. I understand what happened and I know how to help and who this Blizzard folk is" Evans said as Charlotte raised a eyebrow. "You know who this Blizzard person is?" she asked as Evans nodded. "I would by lying if I said no" he said as as a hologram appeared of the Blizzard.

"Mr Blizzard or formerly known as Donnie "Donald" Gill. He was one of the rogues gallery against the famous Tony Stark or Iron Man for your thoughts" Evans explained as Zach nodded. "So I'm up against a villain who Iron Man faced before? Nice!" Zach exclaimed as Krane rolled his eyes. "He had a unknown source perfect him a Blizzard armor which he used against you Zach. He's been apart of several groups and is classified as a InHuman. A event transpired and the armor was bonded to him and now has the ability of a human battery" Evans explained as Charlotte, Zach & Krane blinked.

"So what we're looking at is a human who can absorb electricity and can use ice and snow as his main. Looks like the CrimsonStreak has his hands tied" Krane stated as Zach glared at him with him raising an eyebrow. "What?" he asked as Zach grumbled looking away. "Okay we know about his history but what do we do?! My speed isn't going to cut it against him" Zach exclaimed as Evans eyed Charlotte who nodded her head.

"Well...we have a weapon that can cripple him and no were not going to break his legs" Charlotte exclaimed as Zach sighed in relief. "So what's the weapon?" Zach asked as Charlotte grabbed her case and pulled out what seemed like green handcuffs as Zach facepalms. "I don't think you understand but handcuffs will not work against him" Zach said as Charlotte glared at him. "No these are power-blocking cuffs. Whenever we put them on super humans, mutants, or metahumans, there powers will be blocked rendering them useless as the key is needed to break free" Charlotte explained as Zach scratched his chin.

"Okay but the million dollar question is...how are we going to put them on?" Zach questioned as Krane & Evans looked at one another. "Well along with Charlottes invention we also single handledly made a gun that can shoot fire as much as the third degree" Krane explained as Zach nodded. "Okay so who's going to help me with this?" Zach asked as Charlotte backed up.

"Sorry their Zach I'm not getting frozen" she said as he looked at Evans who backed up as well. "I'm sorry but I'm still healing from the explosion at my lab a few months back and I was warned to take it easy" Evans explained as Zach looked at Krane who shrugged standing up. "Okay I'll tag along. Besides you need someone there to watch you kick his ass" he exclaimed as he Zach smirked.

Zach was then handed the Flame Buster (the fire gun but it nicknamed by Krane) as gave it to Krane who clutched it carefully. "Okay whatever you do...make sure it hits Blizzard and no one else. That can pack a punch" Charlotte warned as Zach nodded. "Alright but do you know where he could be?" Zach asked as Evans looked at his IPad again but then noticed a large red dot moving. "I think we just found him..." he said as Zach and Krane looked at the IPad in wonder.

"He's on...Fullerton Avenue and it seems like he's heading to one of the railroads or the freeways. We got to stop him come on Krane" Zach said as he put on his mask and grabbed Krane before speeding off.

(With Blizzard)

Blizzard was dodging several bullets that the police were firing as he tried to speed up his car. "Ugh I hate this piece of junk. Knew I should of taken the other one" he muttered as he fired a blast of ice onto the ground causing the police cars to spin out of control.

"Ha! Told cold for ya?" Blizzard quipped as suddenly CrimonStreak appeared in front of the car causing him to suddenly stop his car. "You again?" he asked as Streak nodded his head with Blizzard groaning in annoyance. "If I remember last time we fought I beat you. Do you really want to lose Round Two?" Blizzard asked as Streak shook his head. "There won't be a round three once I'm done with you" he said as Blizzard quickly fired a ice spear at him which Streak quickly dodged.

"You got lucky last time but I assure you that this time you won't!" Streak exclaimed as he sped behind Blizzard quickly landing a elbow to the back of his head. Blizzard as he fell to the ground quickly blasted Streak back into the car before standing up. "Heh...getting slow are we?" Blizzard asked as he fired several ice spikes at Streak who rolled out the way. "No I'm just getting started!" Streak said as he sped and went for a kick which Blizzard surprisingly caught to his shock. "How did you catch that?" he asked as Blizzard smirked before smashing Streak to the ground.

"Told you kid. There's more to me than you realize" Blizzard exclaimed as out of nowhere he was blasted a wave of fire revealing itself to be Krane holding the gun. "I got him!" he exclaimed as Streak picked himself up groaning in pain. "Alright time to put you away" Streak stated as he grabbed the handcuffs and went towards Blizzard who suddenly blasted him back into Krane. "I'll admit...that hurt but that won't be enough to put me down" he said readying another ice spike but suddenly a car came and rammed into Blizzard knocking him down much to their surprise.

"Holy crap!" Streak stated as Krane raised an eyebrow and checked the car. "Weird...no ones driving" he said earning a confused look from Streak. "If there was no one driving then how did-" he stopped as he suddenly placed the handcuffs onto the outcold Blizzard.

"I think we should get moving" Krane stated as Streak was about to question when he noticed the incoming police cars coming their way. "I see your point" Streak said as he grabbed Krane and sped away from the scene. Soon officers Watson and his assistant Kenny Evanson arrived. "Uh what is that?" Watson questioned as Kenny went over to inspect. "Seems like a unconscious person sir. He's the man from the news..you know who Streak fought?" Kenny asked as Watson scratched his chin. "Put him in the car. We have some questions for him" Watson stated as Kenny nodded.

"So you defeated the Blizzard and left him for the cops?" Charlotte asked as Krane and Zach nodded their head. "Well yeah and besides with Krane their it would raise suspicion" Zach exclaimed as Krane nodded. "Kids got a point. We can't let either of us be seen around CrimsonStreak without raising suspicion" Krane said as Zach nodded but noticed that Evans was absent.

"Hey...where's Evans?" Zach asked as Charlotte then snapped her fingers. "Oh I forgot. While you two were against Blizzard the assistant arrived and she's with Evans right now who's preparing to meet us. So be normal" Charlotte exclaimed as Zach and Krane nodded giving a salute as she face-palmed. "She's going to quit after a day" she mumbled as Evans walked in smiling.

"Hello their Krane and Zach. I think Charlotte may have told you this but our new assistant has arrived and needless to say she's ready. Laura you can come out" Evans said as then a girl with black long hair that reached to her shoulders and green eyes stepped in. She wore black boots, black jeans and a black shirt with a leather jacket on top while also sporting black fingerless gloves. "You must Victor Krane and Zach Cage?" she asked as Zach and Krane nodded. "And who are you?" Zach asked.

"My name is Laura. Laura Kinney" she said as Zach nodded.
