Superman: Champion of Earth #3
As I slip back into the apartment complex I race back up to my apartment and quickly put the cape on. Though I'm not certain of what exactly is going on I know that I can't just stand by whilst an innocent being is seemingly victimised. I take the necessary precautions for if a crime takes place outside a building I'm in, fly a couple of blocks away before arriving on the scene. Fortunately the step of providing a good excuse for Clark Kent to slip away wasn't needed this time which saved me a minute on the response time so I'm back on the scene before the grey skinned man has a chance to fire the weapon.
Before the man can respond to my sudden arrival I seize the opportunity to remove the weapon from his hands. The sudden loss of his weapon takes the man by surprise as he jumps back and appears to surprise the winged man on the ground as well. Evidently men that can move faster than a speeding bullet aren't common where they come from.
"What the?"
"Is there a problem here?"
"Please! You have to help me!"
"I will but first I want to know what's going on here. Who are you people?"
"Return my weapon immediately native. This is not your concern."
"When you threaten someone in my city it becomes my concern."
The grey skin man continues to speak and whilst he explains who he is and why I should return his weapon I take the time to scan his physiology. Two hearts and a third lung. Definitely not human. Then again the grey skin tone is a bit of a give away.
"This man is a servant of my master and has abandoned his post. I am here to return him for punishment."
"Please don't let him take me! The penalty for fleeing is death!"
"Sounds to me like he has a good reason for not wanting to go with you."
"That is irrelevant. He pledged himself to serve the master and he must be punished for his betrayal. Now step aside human!"
The grey skinned man barks out those last few words as if he were giving orders to a minion so it makes me a little bit happy to just raise my left hand with one finger up telling him to shush. Whilst I'm not sure of all that is transpiring I know that everyone has the right to choose their own actions. If this winged man doesn't want to go back to his master then that's his choice and I will respect his wishes. I turn to look at the winged man and ask him the question.
"Do you want to go with this man?"
He begins to answer my question and as he does so I scan his body as well. Unlike his compatriot his physiology is almost identical to that of a humans. The only notable differences were the two wings sticking out of his back which appeared to be a part of his natural biology. What ever species he is clearly similar to humanity with that one difference.
"No. I want to live a life of freedom."
"I understand."
Respecting the winged man's wishes I turn to face the grey skinned man and make a point to break his gun in front of him. Acts of strength such as that are usually required in order to deter those I'm confronting from trying to start a fight. I don't do this because I'm afraid of fight, it's simply because I know that I'll win and I'd prefer to avoid having to hurt anyone unnecessarily.
"You heard him. He doesn't want to come with you, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
"I'm not leaving without him."
"Then you'll have to go through me."
He pauses for a moment, clearly weighing up what sort of opponent I am. The glare is incredibly similar to the one Bruce used when he first met me, unfortunately he's just as impossible to read as Bruce is so I'm not sure what his response will be.
Before he speaks his next few words I notice a contraption activate that quickly covers his left hand in metal to resemble a metal gauntlet. Looks like he's going to do this like you did too Bruce.
"So be it."
With that he swings at me. Naturally I dodge the swing having seen him preparing his left arm for a punch, but he quickly follows up with a small taser like weapon in his right hand that shocks me. Clearly the gauntlet was intended either as a distraction or simply a test of my perception. Either way I failed to avoid his taser weapon and he hits me with an additional four shots. Damn does it sting.
The effect of the four additional shots quickly subside and I look up towards him and prepare my heat vision.
Alright. We'll do it this way.
