43rd Hangover - Crash and Burn!

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Action]

[As a drone, The Captain is competent at many things that are normally beyond him.

The ability to dress one's self.

History.

Literacy.

The ability to drive a car without crashing.

So when he comes out of his drone state, while driving, it's no wonder he is confused and things don't go so well.

The Captain drives the car right up a sidewalk, across a yard and into a tree. Smashing it pretty good.

With super strength, he kicks the door off and stumbles out of the wreck. Only his clothes are messed up by it.

He looks pissed.]

☠☠☠☠, Nextwave, sound off or something. Let me know who all is still here.

Anyone else who thinks they're a Super Hero, answer too.

I've been thinking.

Now that's cool.

You a mutant, got magic, hit by radiation, an alien, or some other freak of nature?

Well, my grandpa was the Flash--different Flash than the one now, grandpa...died--so I was born connected to the speed force.

Pretty cool, isn't it?

[Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

There's a speed force?

Hey, ever hear of the heartstar?

[Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

Well, duh! Speedsters connect to it and it gives them their speed!

...No.

[Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it sounds pretty dumb, but most powers do.

I didn't think you'd hear about it either, I guess we're alike, kinda. Only the heartstar doesn't make me fast.

[Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

You're just jealous!

...What does it do?!

[Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure kid. I'm jealous of power that can kill you if you trip.

I can fly, I'm super strong and I'm near invulnerable. That's what the heartstar does. It's magic.

[Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

Hey! I've tripped plenty of times and I'm still alive!

Oh...I guess that's kinda cool.

[He'd be more enthusiastic about your powers if you hadn't insulted his.]

[Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[The Captain is the best super hero, oh so friendly.]

Good. Though, seriously, what does a hero do with super speed?

[Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

My methods are hard to explain and I prefer not to discuss them.

Re: [Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Which means you don't know yet.

You'll figure out something kid, I'm sure.

Maybe we'll get someone helping us who knows what to do with you in the meantime.

Re: [Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

I know how! I'm a solo superhero with my own sidekick!

[...Or a mentor...who is in his 60s...that he tells everyone is his sidekick.]

It's just hard to explain.

[AKA he usually improvises.]

Re: [Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Your side kick have a better power, are they here and can they help out too?

[Normally abrasive, The Captain is dead serious when he asks this one though. Not even thinking about how insulting it is.]

[Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

My sidekick is another speedster. The slowest, most boringest speedster ever born! But everyone acts like he's a big deal! "Oh, go ask Max this, he's so wise!" and "Max is the ZEN MASTER OF THE SPEED FORCE, you know!"

[He's too busy ranting to care about the insult at the moment.]

Re: [Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Zen Master? Then why is he your side kick?

[Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me. All the other speedsters said he has to tag along with me.

[Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're his babysitter, or whatever old people get to watch them.

Well, whatever, I could still use your help if your up for a fight we'll probably lose.

[Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

It would be like the Flash to make me babysit for him...

You won't lose if you have Impulse!

Re: [Phone]

Please tell me that isn't your catch phrase.
