Bender 3 - Alive Again

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[[To Anyone outside, The Captain is walking down the streets exploring and obviously lost.  The whole town looping back on itself has confused him as he didn't bother to read street names or house numbers.]]

[The Captain is back from having many eventful encounters, most of which he can barely remember.  Some of which he can't remember at all.

The Captain is not sure how his arm healed overnight.  Only that he is back to his normal self.  Well more normal than his usual self at least.  He is sober as well this time around, able to form somewhat coherent thoughts.  Dressed in normal attire for this place, only his shirt is undone.  He'd have to deal with the slacks for now.

He is wandering around town lost.  Trying to make sense of all this suburbia.  Muttering to himself about Beyond.]

Okay kid... now you are just screwing with me.

So we are in the US right?

So where's the nearest highway? What state are we in? I'm gonna go find Nextwave and then they are going to ☠☠☠☠ whoever did this to me...

[The Captain was optimistic about how much his friends cared.]

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Fuck if I know. I'm not from America.

Almost mixed up this post with another country post in Junefield

[He was getting frustrated but all that made him do was sit down and cross his arms like an angry child.]

Then what are you doing in this ☠☠☠☠ if you aren't from here? Foreign exchange kid or something?

It happens! XD

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

No.

I got pulled from my world to this one without a choice.

And don't even ask me how it works because fuck if I know.

Re: It happens! XD

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Still looked lost.]

So you're an alien?

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

To this world, yeah. I guess.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

So can you give me back my super powers?

If I can fly I can get us away from Beyond's trap and out of this place.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Let me just pull them out of my ass for you.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[The Captain would wince.]

I've seen strange things pulled out of people's ☠☠☠☠. I don't need anymore.

So I know what Beyond wants with me... why the ☠☠☠☠ did you come here? Do you work for Beyond? Or did they steal you away too for your powers?

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

I don't -- okay. Who's Beyond, first of all?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

They're the guys who hired me and had me join their fake little ☠☠☠☠ super hero team. Tabitha says they are terrorists who used to be called S.I.L.E.N.T.... whatever that stands for...

[He seemed to be getting bored explaining though. Short attention span?]

Whatever. The ☠☠☠☠ wanted me back... or to kill me... so they keep throwing ☠☠☠☠ up stuff like dragons and flying baby heads and ☠☠☠☠ koala bears....

They put me in this town after taking all my powers....
[He acted like this part should be obvious.]

Now I need to find my way out.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

So you're sure they put you here?

Because there's no organization called Beyond where I'm from and I'm fairly certain it wasn't them that put me here.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Well they're super secret and they deal with a lot of ☠☠☠☠.

[The Captain was no James Bond, so secrecy probably wasn't the issue here.]

What makes you so sure kid?

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Because I'M NOT FROM AMERICA.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

So? They're a ☠☠☠☠ big organization with flying ☠☠☠☠ bases. I bet they could have kidnapped you from anywhere.

I mean they grow brocolli!

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

What's so bad about growing broccoli? I like broccoli.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You would...

[Wait! Wait....wait. The Captain had a point somewhere. Somehow drawing his attention back from kids eating vegitables to the point he was trying to make.]

Not normal broccoli. ☠☠☠☠ Angry broccoli, that shoots at you.

[Okay... maybe he could say this a better way. At least he was trying.]

They grow plants to look people-ish, put computers in their heads and give them guns.

They also mass produce super heroes and have ☠☠☠☠ floating baby heads that teleport.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Your world sounds really fucked up.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah... you're probably right. But that's why I'm around. I'm a ☠☠☠☠ hero.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Go get in line with the rest of the heroes around here. They even hold elections for this kind of shit.

[Because she' can't really bring herself to believe that a drunk like him is a hero, nope.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Other heroes? ☠☠☠☠...

You say you don't think it's beyond but ☠☠☠☠. This is what they do! They even sent a whole superhero team to kill me and my friends once! ☠☠☠☠ They send all sorts of ☠☠☠☠ at us.

Elections though... that doesn't sound like how we did things. The other super heroes maybe, ☠☠☠☠. I don't want to win a contest, I did it so I could punch people and get away with it. Also to ☠☠☠☠ bad guys.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Well if you can prove to me that it's Beyond then... yeah. I'll believe you.

It's fucking stupid, is what it is. You're not a hero because you got elected.

[Oh man, don't get her started.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Well let's see...

Beyond Corporation likes to weaponize super powers, monsters, demons and anything for terrorism. That's what I got out of it.

They'd love to steal powers from ☠☠☠☠ crazy things. They'd also set up drones all over the place too.

I thought we finished them off but they are some strange ☠☠☠☠.


You're right kid, you get to be a hero by finding the bad guy and killing them. Breaking Dragon fingers and punching holes through monsters.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

I suppose they're something to look in to, just in case...

[Y-you might be convincing her, oh dear.]

Or through acts of bravery.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

☠☠☠☠ yeah. Now that's the spirit...

[So excited by getting someone to barely agree with him. And only if The Captain had any clue about what he was talking about... At least he was sober this time.]

Oh yeah, that too. I'm not the bravest ☠☠☠☠ there is but I risked my life plenty of times to save people. Rammed my head straight through an airship engine block once just to buy my friends some time.

....

That ☠☠☠☠ hurt like ☠☠☠☠.
