Justice Society: Haunted Murders #2
My name is Pieter Cross. Orphan, doctors assistant, superhero. They call me Black Midnight. Not the best name, but it certainly does the trick! Let me just tell how I exactly became the partner of Charles McNider, aka Doctor Mid-Nite. Still can't believe it... Nonetheless, let me explain. My parents were some great people, at least that's what I thought. My father was a doctor and my mother was a nurse at a hospital located in Monument Point. I was simply working as an intern at that hospital, because they were able to arrange that since they were in fact respected at that hospital. Nothing was as it seemed though. Secretly they were working for the Maroni Crime Family. They and some other staff members took drugs from the hospital and sold it on the street for the Maroni's. One night at our home however, members of the 100 entered the house and brutally murdered my parents on behalf of Tobias Whale, who wanted the Maroni's out of Monument Point to claim it for himself. If it wasn't for Charles, I would've died. In the scuffle I was shot through the head however. I thought I would be done for, but Charles actually did brain surgery, BRAIN SURGERY, on me. I still can't believe it. An old, blind man, with limited resources, was able to save me from a gunshot to the head. He wasn't able to save my sight however, that part of the brain was just destroyed. I thought my life would be over. My parents were part of a crime family, I was blind for the rest of my life without any chance of completing my medical study, and I was orphaned. You could say that that night was the worst of my life. Charles however, saved me again. He took me in, he trained me to actually see, using the things around me and my other senses. I didn't need my eyes to see. At one point I decided to just make a superhero costume, well after a few tries. Charles wasn't surprised at all and he actually agreed on taking me with him! He was getting older, and eventually a replacement would be needed to become the new Doctor Mid-Nite. I've been running around for 3 years as Black Midnight now, but I never really met any of the other children of the JSA members. I met Hourboy once, didn't go as planned. It's obvious that we don't like each other, but well, it's fine. Can't like everybody. I also met Jesse Quick once. She is much nicer than Rick, not that hard by the way. Currently Charles and I are on a stakeout with Hooty, who is basically our eyes for long distances.
Pieter: "It's a quiet night, Doc."
Charles: "Sometimes you should enjoy quiet nights, Pieter."
Pieter: "I know, but it has been quiet for a week now. Where is all the violence?"
Charles: "You want violence?"
Pieter: "That's not what I meant."
Charles: "I know."
Pieter: "So you got jokes?"
Charles: "All I want to say Pieter, is that you shouldn't take these quiet nights for granted. Not every hero has that luxury."
Pieter: "Heard it was quiet in Gotham too."
Charles: "Could you stop? Just enjoy a quiet night."
As Pieter wants to say something back, Charles' JSA comlink turns on. He takes the call and he hears Jay Garrick, delivering the news about Henry.
Charles: "Are- are you serious? That's terrible. Yes, yes of course. I'll meet Power Girl and Mister Terrific there. A.R.G.U.S. too? Understandable, the man lost his father. I'll go there now and come back with Terrific, Power Girl and the body for closer examination. Doctor Mid-Nite out."
Charles sits down for a moment and takes heavy breaths. Pieter sits next to him and calms him down a bit.
Pieter: "Doc? Are you okay? What's wrong?"
Charles: "I'm fine Pieter. I just got a call from the Flash. Commander Steel is dead. Murdered."
Pieter: "Oh my- really?"
Charles: "Yes..."
Pieter: "Do you want me to come with you?"
Charles: "No, it's okay. I'll meet with Power Girl, Mister Terrific and some A.R.G.U.S. agents there. It will be all the help I need. You can go home."
Pieter: "Okay... If you need help, just call."
Charles: "I know, son. I should be going."
Pieter: "Good luck..."
