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.]


[Phone]

☠☠☠☠, 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.

Tabby's a weird kid, maybe not that Eloh or whatever but she talks funny. Like a girl who spends too much time on the phone.

[walking-nuke.livejournal.com]

What? How does—

[It takes Balin a second to figure out what The Captain's getting at. And when he does figure it out, he busts out laughing.]

—Oh no, no man, Eloh ain't like "LOL." It's'a name of an alien race!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Oh... yeah... I knew that.

[Totally didn't.]

You know, there was an alien race that thought I was a bad ☠☠☠☠ once.

[Changing topics!]

[walking-nuke.livejournal.com]

[And Balin's following along with interest. Good to know he's not the only guy who's had experience with alien races here at least.]

Yeah?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, little green men. They gave me my powers.

[walking-nuke.livejournal.com]

Huh. No wonder you had'a learn as you went, what with flyin' an' all. I can kinda sympathize with'at.

But I'm guessin' what'ey gave you ain't anything like Logos. What'd they do?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

They just kinda gave me the heartstar, put it in my chest, and bam! I have powers.

[walking-nuke.livejournal.com]

Oh, so it was like kinda like an augmentation or artifact or—somethin'.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It was a lot of flashing lights and glowing, it went into my chest.

It ruined my ☠☠☠☠ shirt.

[walking-nuke.livejournal.com]

Burned a hole right through it, huh? Damn, I guess'ey weren't kiddin' when'ey called it a "heart star!"

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, its between galaxies or something. I kinda forgot most of what they said that first time.

[walking-nuke.livejournal.com]

[Balin takes another swig of his beer.]

That's ahright, man. I wouldn't be surprised, I mean, there's all those stories of UFO abductions an' people can't remember a lot of what'ey saw on'a ship.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's about it.

[No need to explain what really happened (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.comicsalliance.com/media/2010/02/captain2.jpg), and that he was really drunk at the time.]

PFFT. XD

[walking-nuke.livejournal.com]

[And Balin is none the wiser! His attention drifts back to the original topic, though—taking out the Milkman.]

But yeah. That plan I'm workin' on—right now my only problem is that I still ain't got'a explosives ready yet. Missing some important ingredients.

[He frowns some.]

I'm hopin' I can get 'em around here. Got to know a few guys who're good with chemistry an' alchemy, so.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good luck with that. I don't know ☠☠☠☠ about explosives other than they sting.

[walking-nuke.livejournal.com]

[Balin can't help but chuckle slightly, taking another swig of beer.]

At least'ey don't blow you into chunky bits. My job'd be a helluva lot easier if I was like'at.
