DCU Superman #12
I fly over to the Bank of Metropolis close by; there seems to be a robbery in pursuit, I hear 4 heartbeats, most likely the criminal’s. So I round up all but one and leave them near a police cruiser. I head to the last one, when I’m approached by what seems to be……. A robot?
“So glad to meet the man himself.” I use my X-ray vision to search for anything, but it seems that most of his organs have been replaced with machinery, with something in the center that’s glowing green.
“We don’t have to do this.” I say, showing empathy towards him. He scoffs, sounding almost offended.
“What is it with schmucks like you trying to find the ‘good’ in people? I almost feel bad for what I’m about to do. Before I ask what he meant. He punches me. I immediately recover and attempt to strike him, but he grabs my forearm, and backhands me. Which throws me at a wall. I try to get up, but kicks me in the stomach and throws me at a car. Which explodes, blasting me into the street.
“How-?”
“How am I kicking your ass? Simple really, Voila.” He fully opens his chestplate, revealing, the green rock from earlier, but for some reason… It’s making me feel like I’m sick or something. “You might be feeling a bit of nausea, or agonizing pain. That’s cause this bad boy is the only thing that can make you crawling to your knee.” The pain is getting worse every step he takes. I can’t even attempt to get up. “Now now, as much as I like to see you suffer, my boss wants you dead.” He says as he pulls out a handgun.
“Say goodnight Superman.” But before he’s able to pull the trigger, he gets hit with a piece of debri.
“Hey! Why don’t you leave him alone you jackass!” ‘I know that voice!’ I look up to the person. ‘Pete!’ The robot starts laughing.
“Really? What do you plan on doing about it?” He turns away from me and starts approaching him.
‘No! I can’t let him get hurt! I can’t just let my best friend die!’ I put in the best of my strength to get up. ‘Come on Superman! Come on!’ I’m able to get up and fly towards the metal man as I yell out.
“Move!” The robot tries to turn around, but I zoom towards against a wall. I then grab him by the neck to throw over my head into the ground. That’ll keep him down for a bit, but not for long. I need something to contain it. I notice a newspaper box, so I grab it and throw at his chest. He tries to get up, but I press it against him, I then use my heat ray vision to fuse it to him, containing the rock. He tries to punch me, but I grab his fist and rip the arm off his shoulder. I then grab him and fuse him into the street lamp with my heat vision.
“I think you need a timeout.” I say. I immediately hear cheering coming from the entire street, I look over to see Pete, with his dopey, yet confident grin, which causes a smile to escape from me, as I fly away.
