Harmless Magic Chapter 3
'swapping'
Captain Amazing stood over the would be rapist. Even fighting Torgat the leader of the Trio of Doom Captain Amazing had never seen someone do something so evil to another human being. He looked toward the woman and could see the swelling that was starting to set in on her face.
"Miss... A... Are you alright?" He asked as he looked at her.
"Help me.." She said weakly.
Like a true hero Captain Amazing reached down to her and lifted the young college student into his arms. He felt his own eyes tearing up as he held her beaten and abused body. His jet pack began to ignite and he took to the air. He tried to bring up a map of the city, but he was unable to hook up to the Avenging Justice Society satellite.
"Unable to connect with Satellite Captain!" A high pitched robotic voice squeaked.
"I know Gear. See if you find out what city this is and set directions to the hospital." Captain Amazing said as he flew blindly.
"connecting, connecting, connecting, connecting... Connection found! Connecting to Justice League communication systems! City Found! City Gotham! Setting direction!" Gear squeaked as Captain headed toward Gotham General.
(Below Captain Amazing's Flight trail)
Bruce watched the brightly dressed man carrying a wounded woman toward Gotham General hospital. He ran and kept up for several blocks until he noticed something about the man. He was wearing a suit of a super hero that Tim had watched when he was bored. Captain Amazing face of the Avenging Justice Society. He slapped his hand to his face and looked at the direction Captain Amazing had came from.
"Zatanna." He said silently.
Before he headed back he swooped down into the shadows and watched Captain Amazing carry the woman into the hospital.
"This woman needs help!" Captain Amazing shouted.
For several seconds no one did anything, and then the emergency room flooded with action as the woman was taken from Captain Amazing.
"Bruce, something hacked into the Communication systems." Diana said over the comm link.
"I know. How is monitoring duty going?" He asked as he watched the cartoon superhero for a few more seconds.
"There are a few emergencies, but I should be off in half an hour. Still want me to come to the manor after I'm off?" She asked.
"Yes, I'll be off patrolling in a couple of hours." He said as he heard her end click off.
A smirk crossed his face and then he watched the cartoon superhero step out and take to the skies.
(In the Air with Captain Amazing.)
"Captain! local authorities reporting hostage situation!" Gear squeaked into Captain Amazing's ear.
"Lock on the course Squeak. This world needs the help of Captain Amazing." He said.
No, It needs the help of the entire Avenging Justice Society! Captain Amazing thought as he flew through the skies.
Captain Amazing landed and looked ahead to see a man who was scarred on one side of his face. He held a gun to the head of a police woman and in the other hand he held a coin.
"Heads we let you live, Tails we put two slugs through your brain." The man said.
"Stop evil Doer!" Captain Amazing said as he stepped toward the man.
"What is this? Are we seeing things?" Two face said looking at the odd looking hero.
(On top of a building facing Two Face)
Bruce cursed slightly as he looked at the cartoon superhero. Captain Amazing was going to get himself and the hostage killed. For a moment Bruce thought of Clark and realized who Captain Amazing reminded him of. The idiot had Clark's same mentality from years ago. He remembered when Clark first started out that the Kryptonian was the same way. He announced what he was going to do, and it nearly cost people their lives. The one advantage that Captain Amazing seemed to have was that his presence confused Harvey. Before it could escalate any further Bruce swung down and caught Harvey on the side of the head with a well placed kick.
"That's better." Two face said with a groan as he stood.
"We expected the bat, but not someone who dressed like an idiot." Two face said as he flipped his coin and looked at Bruce.
"It's tails." Two face said as he pulled the trigger.
Bruce expected to feel the impact of the bullet on his kelvar. He fully expected there to be a bruise tonight but instead he felt nothing and looked at two face now lifted into the air. Holding him and the other hand over the barrel of the bending it to face the ground was Captain Amazing.
"Villain you shall not harm another hero while Captain Amazing breaths!" Captain Amazing shouted as he then tossed Harvey Dent aka Two face toward wall.
Captain Amazing turned to look at Bruce and a smile crossed the cartoon Superhero's face.
"I have no doubt that you had this handled friend, but we heroes must stand together." Captain Amazing said.
Far too much like Clark. Bruce thought as he looked at the Cartoon superhero who was dressed in Bright blues with green and gold stripes that ran down the side. In the center of his chest a large letter 'A' stood out. The top of it resembling an eagle.
"Captain! Captain! more reports flooding in from the local authorities! Showing hot spots on virtual map!" Gear squeaked.
Captain Amazing's face faltered for a moment. He looked at Batman and then he leaned against a column.
"Friend, this world is hurting. There are villains plenty here, but they... they are not like the ones from my city. They beat women and children. I saw a woman earlier whom a man attempted to force himself upon. I never felt such rage build inside of me and I had to force myself not mortally wound the man. The doctors at the hospital said the woman would be alright, but she was so frightened. I fear that cleaning up this city, and possibly this world for it is not my own may be too big for me." Captain Amazing said as he looked at Bruce.
Bruce wanted to tell him that all meta's and anyone with super powers wasn't allowed in his city, but hearing the words that came out of Captain Amazing's mouth caused him to pause. Amazing was wanting to help people, but he realized how big the job was and that it was more than he could handle alone. The cartoon superhero then looked in the direction toward Gotham University.
"I don't want to let the people down, but I've never seen so much evil." Captain Amazing said as he turned back toward Batman.
"It's the nature of our world. Those like me face this every day. We stand against it and do our best to protect the innocent. What you see is a city which is safer than it was ten years ago." Batman said.
"I hope this evil does not reach Champion City. I don't want to think about someone trying to harm Crimson Screamer." Captain Amazing said as he thought of the super hero identity of Natalia Blaine.
"I don't know for certain, but I would assume that the longer you are here the more of a chance of something like this reaching your world will have." Batman said to the cartoon superhero.
(Gotham University)
Joker laughed with glee as he poured the rest of his laughing venom into the water supply for the school. Below him his hired help kept the police busy making them think this was just a ploy to steal exhibits donated to the school. No, Joker wanted to give those seeking a higher education something to smile about. He laughed as he the venom bond to the water. A moment later he looked to see a strange green light appear over him. He watched it for a moment before the light swallowed him and pulled him through it. It felt as though his entire body was stretching out beyond its means and then suddenly he landed on the grass.
He stood and looked at the clean world around him. The grass had no litter, there was no tags from rival gangs on the walls of buildings surrounding him. He turned around and looked at a huge statue of three people. While he didn't know any of them he knew what they where. Grinning he turned around again.
"This town needs an enema!" He shouted gleefully.
