EWSG Superboy/Supergirl Volume 1, Issue #3: Investigation

After hearing the news report, I head out to the crime scene. Hopefully I can find some answers to who this "assassin" character is. As I head out the door, I see Tamara coming back from her run. She waves when she notices that I'm there, and walks over to me.

 

Tamara: "Hey! Where are you off to in such a rush?"

 

Chris: "I'm heading off to a crime scene. It seems that the serial killer codenamed 'assassin' has added another to his kill count. Mom knew this woman. So I got to learn more about this killer. He made this personal, and I need to stop him once and for all."

 

Tamara: "He calls himself assassin? What kind of lame name is that? Scum like that are just asking to get pummelled. Ok well I'll come along too, though I have to change first. You probably should too, as jeans and a t-shirt doesn't count as a costume..." She laughs when saying that last remark.

 

Chris: "Yea uh ok."

 

I float back into my room through the window. I put on my costume and wait outside for Tamara. A few minutes later, I see Tamara exit the house, with her hair all spiked up.

 

Tamara: "Alright, let's go!"

 

Chris: "Up up and away we go!" I say enthusiastically as my feet leave the grass.

 

It's sunny days like these where flying through the city of Leavenworth reminds me of flying through Astro City. Very peaceful and soothing to the soul. Ahh it brings me back.... Unlike Astro City though, there are these powerful winds that happen now and then. I still feel its chill somehow. It's a weird but refreshing feeling. I admire the view a little too much, and end up in the wrong neighbourhood. So it takes us a little longer than I thought it would, but we finally arrive at the crime scene. Looking around you see the usual police officers questioning the neighbours, and the bright yellow tape blocking entry to the house. Me and Tamara float down to the sidewalk in front of the house.

 

A couple of the officers see us and walk towards us as we move past the yellow tape to go inside the house.

 

Officer 1: "This is a crime scene, you aren't allowed to be in here."

 

Officer 2: "Smith, it's those supers that helped out with the riots.. Show some respect man.."

 

While they are talking, I focus my hearing to the officers inside. Just one of the many great perks of having super hearing..

 

Officer 3: "Victim's name is Vivian Lancaster. There are 4 gunshot wounds. One to the head, one to the chest area, and one to both of her knees.. Overkill much?"

 

Officer Jennings: "Yeah well that is the killers M.O. He's still following his pattern of targeting people living in the Huntington neighbourhood. Maybe we should keep a squad car here tonight just incase he wants to try anything.."

 

Officer 3: "Good idea sir."

 

I zone back in with smith and the other officer looking at me weirdly..

 

Smith: "Well? Get lost!" His voice bellows while he is yelling at me.

 

Chris: "Ok ok.. I got what I came for anyway..." I say with a smirk.

 

Tamara: "Really?! We came here, and now we're just leaving.... What the heck Chris?"

 

Chris: "Don't worry I'll explain on the way.."

 

Tamara: "Mkay.." She replies with a small frown.

 

We fly off, and I start to tell Tamara what heard minutes earlier.

 

Tamara: "All this and we aren't doing anything about it? C'monn..."

 

Chris: "Tonight we come back and stake out the neighbourhood, and see if he shows up. Until then though, you have to go.. It's your first day at the diner.. Don't want to be late on your first day for the new job!"

 

Tamara: "Yeah, you didn't have to remind me of that.. Not looking forward to it though.. First days always seem to go wrong. Anyways, I'll see you later Chris."

 

Chris: "See ya later Tamara! Hope you have a good time! Meet you back here when you finish your shift."
