DCSG Blue Beetle (Dan Garrett) App Pt.0-Mystery Man-Pt.1

The sun sets in Hub City, gangsters on the prowl, victimizing the weak and poor, rising tensions between the U.S and Axis Powers, Roosevelt declared neutrality, though people doubt it will last long, but now we got back to the on shore crimes. Three gangsters waltz into a bank; their well shined shoes tap against the floor in a synchronized order. The staff in the bank freezes, seeing that these notorious scoundrels have decided to crash the party. Swing music plays from a record, but as they walk in it cuts short, as they realize the seriousness of this.

“Alright, I think you know what we want, I’m sure you read of our past escapades in the news, so you should know what we want” the bank tellers bring out the money and put it in a bag, as machine guns are painted directly at their head.

“Thanks, if our territory expands, we’ll make sure to go easy on you fellas” the mobsters share a laugh as they walk out the door, with barley any stress, is there any one that can save the day?

The taps of their shoes can be heard from a mile away, yet no one calls the officers, that’s because Hub City has been hit with hard times, and hasn’t been the same since the depression.

“So Charlie, what you gonna do with your cut?”

“I dunno Jones, but Zucco, what you gonna do with yours?”

“I got some money saved to move to Gotham, start anew, I gotta admit, Hub City has gone to crap” while it has gone to crap, there’s someone who will save it, and you’re about to learn who!

A shadow lurks over the three men, they don’t notice at first, but the mobster names Jones sees it out of the corner of his eye, he turns back slowly, like a jammed gear, desperately trying to move out of it’s one position. A look of confusion overcomes his face.

“Who the hell are yo-”suddenly the person jumps at him, giving him a swift punch to the face, following up with a roundhouse kick to the chest, and then two jabs, as he swipes his feet, knocking him down, just adding to the pain. He then lunges at the two other men, one of them holding a machine gun, he starts to divert his attention to him, the mobster named Zucco, he pulls the machine gun out of his hand and tosses it, then the punches him in the shoulder, at this point the other mobster, named Charlie, attempts to deliver a punch, but he dodges it, by speeding to the left, he then delivers a barrage of punches upon Zucco, followed with an uppercut, and kick to the chest, knocking him down for the count. Right after he turns his attention to the final gangster Charlie, he appears to be unarmed, but quickly pulls a firearm out of his suit.

The two stare at each other, as if their eyes themselves are interlocked in battle, at the base of it you all you see two men in suits, but one is fighting to stop corruption, the other champions it. But if you break it down to the most basic level, it’s yin and yang, one fighting for good, and one championing evil, things are different, yet stay the same. These two figures stand there, looking deep into each other’s eyes, both unsure of their fates, but knowing that it doesn’t matter, the only thing you can strive for in this is victory. A gust of wind picks up, blowing some dollars around, they swirl among our hero and villain, as if to resemble leaves from the autumnal season.

“So, you gonna make a move or what?” the mobster asks, as his hand begins to shake, nervous and unsure of the future, like a young man.

“I’m waiting for you, so whenever you want to let me test my powers go ahead."

BANG

The man grips his chest, looking like he’s in the worst pain imaginable.

“That’s what vigilantes like you get in this city, a shot in the chest” suddenly he regains his strength and removes his hand from his chest to reveal that there is no injury, and he swings his hand, throwing a device that resembles a throwing star, straight at him, it hits the gun, and he leaps in at him, a fury of punches land on his chest, like bombs landing on the surface of a war torn Europe.

“Who-who the hell are you?” he asks, hazily tired from being beaten by a mystery man.

"Me, oh you wouldn't know my name...yet, but tell your friends who defeated you, tell your friends who’s going clean up crime in Hub City, tell them it was THE BLUE BEETLE!”he lands one clean punch on his face, knocking him cold out. The police sirens wail and he escapes, now this mystery man will be known to the city, tune in next time to find out, THE ORIGIN OF THE BLUE BEETLE!

Well I hope you guys enjoyed that app for Dan Garrett in the DCSG, It would ideally take place in late 1939, and eventually go into WW2, it would show the DCSG's world back in the old days, and eventually intertwine with the other parts of the DCSG, just in case you were wondering, this was Dan's first costume, which was a rip off of the Green Hornet, since charleton (BB's original company) had a habit of doing that, and I like to think it's a tradition that continues to today. I hope that you enjoyed it and leave your feedback in the description below, and get ready for part two of the app, have a good day!
