EWSG Superboy/Supergirl Volume 2, Issue #11: From Shadows
Ever since I put those thieves away a week ago, things have been pretty quiet in Leavenworth in regards to criminal activity. I haven't seen much of my sister recently, as she joined the cross-country team. When she's not at practice, she's hanging out with her new friends. Surprisingly enough, I've spent a good majority of my time studying. I know, I know! It's a shock to me as well. As I'm walking up the steps to school, I notice Amos Aimes standing there, trying to look all suave. He's one of Tamara's new friends from the cross-country team. But there's something off about that guy. Feels like he's one of those guys from the wrong side of the tracks. All of the sudden, as Amos get's off his motorcycle, some guy goes over and grabs him by his shirt.
"Amos.. My man.. Where's my money? We had a deal.."
"You said I had a week to get you the money Bryce.. Last I checked, there's still 4 days left in that time span."
"Things change.. I want the money now. Now either you give me the money, or I'm gonna kick your ass."
I walk over to where they are. There's sweat dripping down Amos' face, as Bryce holds him up. Not sure where Bryce is packing all the muscle, as he's a pretty thin guy.
"Let him go Bryce."
"This is none of your business Danvers. Now go run along before you regret it."
"Let him go." My voice starts to rise in anger, trying to intimidate Bryce.
"You're going to regret this.." He drops Amos, and walks over to me. He raises his fist, and punches with all his might at my face.
He starts screaming in pain, as his hand flops down.
"FU--UUUCK!! THAT HURTS DUDE! ITS LIKE PUNCHING A BRICK WALL."
"C'mon, let's go see the nurse." A girl says as she smiles at Bryce.
"Fine.. This really wasn't worth my breath anyway.." Bryce spits as he leaves with the girl towards the nurses office.
"I had that under control."
"It sure looked like you did.. Really in control there.. Next time you may want to think about the company you keep. Anyways, we've got school to attend. So bye." With that, I walk up the steps, and into the school. Making my way through the crowded hallways, trying to get to my locker.
"Morning Chris!" I hear as Simon waves at me up ahead.
"Oh hey Simon. What have you been up to recently?"
"Not much honestly. As you probably heard, I was stuck at home sick for the last few days. Had these weird hives, but the big thing was the puking. What a fun thing that is." His eyes roll at his last remark.
"So why are you even at school? You should be at home, getting better.."
"See that's the thing.. I'm perfectly fine now.. I don't get it either, but when I woke up this morning, I was all better. Though it probably helps that I took lots of different things. Tylenol, Gravol, even Gatorade for the electrolytes, and a bunch of other stuff. My mother kind of went overboard on the medicine eh?"
"Hey, if it works, it works!"
"Well it wasn't all so bad. It gave me a chance to binge some good tv shows, and play some video games."
"Any recommendations?"
"Searchers is pretty interesting. You know that guy that created the 100 tv series? Well he's the show runner for this show as well. Think Supernatural, but instead of just being the United States in their car, it's a completely bigger scope. Traveling the world by air and sea chasing different monsters, trying to find the 12 Keystones. But it's not the usual vampires and werewolf type of thing either. Wow, I did a terrible job of explaining.. My bad.. Anyway, you should definitely give it a shot!"
"I got the jist of it Simon. It's all good. How long of a series is it?"
"It only has 12 episodes. It's better that way though, as there's less filler, and a higher budget for each episode."
"Guess I'll have to give it a go sometime. What do you have first?"
"Media Arts. It's a fun class, but I wish one of you guys were in the class with me."
"Tycho and Shane didn't take it?"
"Nah. Tycho isn't really interested in the subject, and Shane just didn't have room on his schedule for it."
"Ahh I see."
"What about you?"
"Oh, just History." My cheeks redden a bit,
"Just History.. Really? Nothing else to add?"
"No.. Should there be?"
"Ah, forget about it. Anyway, have fun in History class! It's 5 minutes til class starts." I go to pull out my phone, and when I look up, Simon's out of sight. I grab my textbooks, and head to class. It's hard concentrating in History since Alicia is also in History. We exchange little notes back and forth, and a couple of times, I laugh from an inside joke that she wrote on it. Before I know it, class is over, and I wait for Alicia right outside the door to the classroom. Simon runs to me, phone in hand.
"You gotta check this out. Crazy woman calling out the supers." Watching the video, the camera is focused on this woman dressed in black and purple. Beside her are these things. They look to be shadows solidified and shaped into monsters.
"This all could've been avoided you know. But noo, you two had to interfere. Because of you, my beloved is gone. Now, I'll make you feel true despair. I will destroy everything you hold dear. I will figure out who you love and care about. I will destroy this city you've grown fond of protecting. I promise you that once this is over, you will wish I had killed you. They will suffer for the sins of your past. This is all for him. From shadows, we will rise, and they will feel my wrath." The woman in black says, with such hatred in her voice.
The video screen goes to black.
"Creepy huh?"
"That's one way of putting it.." With that I dash through the hallways, to my locker. I better stop this woman before all hell breaks loose
------------
Important thing to know going forward, is that I'll be pulling a rebirth Wonder Woman. So odd numbered issues will be dealing with Superboy, while even numbered issues will be dealing with Supergirl. This will happen for the rest of this volume. As it is, there aren't too many issues left.
