League of Heroes: Ascent
Episode 2: The Long Night - Part 14
“Hold it right there!” A group of officers pushed their way through the crowd of cheering bystanders, approaching the Crimson Cloak cautiously. “Put your hands on your head pal! Do it now, and step away from these people.”
The Cloak grimaced beneath his red mask. He had been shot at, battered, burned, and had survived a fall into a burning building all during the past twenty-four hours. Now, after all of that, he was going to be arrested. His identity was in jeopardy, and he was desperate. However, there were too many innocent people around to make a clean escape. After a decade of operating as a fugitive vigilante, it looked like he had reached the end of the line.
“Hey!” A voice yelled from the crowd. “Leave’em alone! Can‘t you see he just saved that kid?”
“Yeah, the Crimson Cloak is a hero in my book pal!” Another shouted.
“We’re going to need you to all stand down!” The officer shouted, above the clamor. “Clear out and let us do our job!”
“Listen buddy, if you want to take in the Cloak, you’re going to have to come through us first.” Suddenly, the Indestructible Man and Trick Shot stepped in front of the Crimson Cloak.
“You’re all under arrest…” The officer’s voice cracked slightly, suddenly nervous to be confronted with three costumed vigilantes. As if to punctuate the growing tension, a distant explosion unexpectedly rocked the crowd. The officers’ radios crackled to life with panicked voices reporting on the source of the far-off blast.
“Officer Jones, stand down.” Detective Jack Garnet maneuvered through the crowd towards the other police officers. “Unless you rookies think you can handle this mess in Midtown on your own, I think we’re going to need these guys to lend us a hand.”
Detective Garnet walked over to the three vigilantes, and looked the Crimson Cloak square in the eyes. “It’s bad this time Cloak. Too bad for the NBPD to handle. Some how Celedon the Destroyer was able to escape. She’s made midtown her playground. We can’t contain her, we need the League of Heroes.”
“The League’s dead Detective.” The Crimson Cloak looked towards Midtown as another explosion shook the pavement. “It’s just me, and I can’t take down Celedon alone.”
“You‘ve got us too.” Interrupted Trixie cheerfully, “Trick Shot and the Indestructible Man reporting for duty!”
“Yeah, I’m not sure what I‘m getting myself into, but I don‘t have any plans for the next few hours.” The Indestructible Man said nonchalantly as he rested his crowbar on his shoulder.
“Count me in too.” unnoticed by the crowd until now, the Silver Sentry descended to the ground from amongst the skyscrapers. His armor gleaming in the light of the burning building from across the street. “I don‘t really have much more to lose at this point.”
“Well, it looks like you have your team.” Detective Garnet couldn’t help but grin at the motley assemblage of heroes.
“Not quite. We’re still missing one member.” The Cloak looked skyward. As if on cue he saw a green glow amongst the roof tops that quickly became brighter as it drew closer, until the form of a floating woman could be seen at the center of the radiance.
“Sorry I’m late.” Viridia floated above the awestruck group of civilians.
“Well, the gang’s all here.” Trixie grinned at the Crimson Cloak.
“This isn’t going to be easy. If any of you want to back out, now’s the time to do it. Understood?” The Crimson Cloak stoically regarded each of the heroes as they nodded in agreement. Not one of them budged. “It’s high time that we bring this long night to an end. League of Heroes, suit up!”
