Subject: Scene from possible future Semi-Transparent Lad epic |
There has been a Semi-Transparent Lad scene that had been bothering for sometime, like a year or so. I hadn't written it down because I was either busy with other stories or It just wasn't time, it didn't fit in with what I was doing at the moment with STL story at the moment. But, I finally did, so here it is for all to enjoy. Night. Goth Haven. Someone has to do this... A grey Ambulance races down the street. The Other guys, the ones' that save the world on a regular basis, they got their own jobs to do. We get this. The Ambulance had seen better days. It looks like it fall to pieces right then & there. Say a giant monstery thing pops out of the ground over in the Civic Center Park? Well.. you'd call up the Lair Legion or maybe the JBH when they were still around. We'd never even come into the City's mind if that happened. I'm sure we could take it, maybe. I guess it all depends on the size of it & what it could do. The driving wasn't any better. Running over curbs, cutting corners short, almost hitting everything in the way. Someone trying to wipe out the entire human race, again? That would the Legion again. We could pitch in but I'm not sure if they'd want our help. The rusted ol' bucket of bolts was trying make it before it was to late. That leaves this for us. I don't know why I'm even doing this. I was happy with my life for the most part. Sure it sucked a bit but I didn't go out every night almost having my butt handed to me by Guys twice my size & half my IQ. Inside the Ambulance were one of the latest Meta-Teams to appear on the scene. Sure, they could send in the Lair Legion Junior, but if the Legion not going to do this sort of stuff. Why would the Teen version do it? They weren't sanctioned by the City or anything & the Papers didn't seem to like them either. There is always the jerks over at the FMRC, but Holcomb would never let his Golden Children do something this dirty. The Five of them were brought together because they all happened to sign up at the same time & were deemed not worthy of a higher group. By luck of the draw, they got a guy who actually cared about them. Sure, it's been tough since the Wednesday half a year ago but you make due & hope you don't die the process. "Where are we going?" One yelled out from the back breaking the silence. "I told you back at the Warehouse." The Driver yelled back. She wished they had the money for a new transmission but the cost of other things came first. "Wouldn't that of meant I was listening?" He retorted. I hate James. Well, I kind of liked him on day one. He seemed cool. But being stuck with him since then just made my dislike for him grow. "James!" The driver called out. "I thought it was that we were to use our Code names while we were in the field, Teen Avenger?" James said mockingly. "Yes, Billy Goat. I'm kind of surprised you knew that. Since you apparently don't listen to any of our Mission briefings." A teammate a seat or two down snickered a bit. "Shut Up, Oswald. At least I'm not dressed up in full Arctic gear during one of the hottest months on record." The kid wearing the fur lined Parka stopped laughing & then wiped the sweat from his brow. He sprayed his face with some of his water to cool him off. Yup. The kid who needs to carry around a heavy water tank just so that he can use his power to freeze water, a jerk with all the powers of any sort of goat you could think of, A guy who can cancel out sound & a girl with no powers of her own except she knows a whole lot. She also has some kick ass fighting skills. Betty would kill me if I thought of her as a just some Girl. Then, there is me, Ben Hermes, with one of the worst powers ever: I can turn mostly invisible. Sure, I can go fully invisible if I'm in the right sort of light or in the dark but that doesn't help me much. "There it is!" Betty screamed. The Guys in the back all leaned forward so that they could see out the windshield. There running down the street, at full gallop, a few feet in front of them was a Pig. Not just any Pig but a Pig the size of a VW Bus. It could also breath fire. Great. "What does Mr. Summers want us to with that?" James asked. "What else? Stop it & then find out where it came from." "I think we can rule out the Zoo. I doubt they specialize in Elephant sized fire breathing Pigs." "I like the Penguins at the Zoo." Oswald interjected. "Sure you do." James as the Vehicle came to screaming halt did a 180. "What the Hell, Betty? We let you drive since your the only one licensed to drive something this big. But, geeze! Can't you do even that?" James blurted out. He didn't notice why they had stopped there. It wasn't because of the Jumbo sized Pig but because the the road was blocked. oh crap. It's them. "Attention rogue Meta-Humans. By order of the Federal Meta-Human Resource Center under direction of the U.S. Government. We ask you to surrender yourself." Came a voice via Megaphone from outside. The Man's red cape flapped in the breeze. It didn't work the last five times you asked us, what make you think it will work now? "This will be your only warning." said the man. "Guys, better hold on to something." Betty said as she put the Ambulance into reverse. Spun it back around, hit a few trash cans, narrowly missed a Parking meter & then drove back down the street. This time backwards. "I seem to remember trying this before with them & it didn't work so well last time." James said. "I know. But if you got any better ideas, I'd be pleased to hear them." Betty said tensely. "Why won't A Class just leave us alone?" Oswald said. "I don't know. Well, I do know but it's a stupid reason & think we all know it is." Betty said as the Ambulance scrapped up against a parked car & took off one of it's side mirrors. That's it. I was trying something new out with you being able to "hear" Ben's thoughts. Not sure if it works for the story or not. If anyone has any thoughts I'd like to hear it. In case anyone was wondering: Civic Center Park is the Goth Haven's counterpart to Parrodipolis' Off-Central Park. This Scene is set sometime after I stopped writing the Series. What probably would of happened next is the Ambulance would be attacked once again by A-Class, maybe B-Class would be there, too. A battle most likely would break out between the groups, witty banter would be tossed around. Another idea of what would happen would be The rogue Meta-Humans formally known as C-Class would find somewhere to hide (some alleyway) & wait for A-Class to leave. C-Class would head on back to their warehouse & plan for what to do next. The fire breathing Pig would be revealed as a one of the many ploys to have C-Class "come out & play" by Ruben Holcomb. |
