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.]

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.

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 ☠☠☠☠.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Nice. Surprised you didn't damage anything too badly. 'Least, I'm guessing you didn't.

[If she still had any of her scars, she'd be showing them off and regaling him with tales of her idiocy bravery.]

I rode into a storm once, just to bottle some lightning. It was killer.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Na, I came out okay. ☠☠☠☠ knocked me out though. It hurt like ☠☠☠☠ too. The last thing I remember was the pain of impact then I woke up half buried in the dirt.

Still, punched a hole clean through and the rest of my team took the ☠☠☠☠ out. Not sure how but when I came too everyone was alive.

You did? ☠☠☠☠ that's pretty hardcore for a kid.

[Well The Captain did look impressed at least.]

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. There's a reason you don't fuck with me.

[Impressed Margot is impressed!]

I don't think I got your name.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Nice, I'd hate to see you at your worse!

[Sad that he found some sort of kindred spirit in a kid but he was lost and... well he was really stupid.]

I'm The Captain, what was your name again?

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

[Ditto on the stupid part, so far as Margot goes.]

Margot Sullivan.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[He nodded, hey he was sober so he might remember it.]

You got a lot going for you Margot. Do you got a bad ☠☠☠☠ super hero name?

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Er... No. Usually you don't get titles or anything like that until you've done something truly heroic.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

☠☠☠☠ that. If you don't stake out the name you want early on you get ☠☠☠☠ in the end.

Look at me, guess what I am The Captain of?

[His cheerful mood quickly fading, it was easy for this man to loose his excitement.]

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Um...

[casting around for answers]

A ship?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Nope, can't sail and can't fly one. Though that's the smartest ☠☠☠☠ answer I've gotten yet.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Well... what else would you be the captain of?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Well there's Captain America, Captain Marvel and so on.

Everyone and their ☠☠☠☠ brother is called Captain something. I came into the game and it was all taken. So I'm not the captain of anything, I am just The Captain.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

[unsympathetic]

Then I suggest investing in a ship.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Margot, I just said I can't sail a ship. I'm a ☠☠☠☠ drunk from Brooklyn and when I had powers I could fly so didn't need one. Metal Man flew our ☠☠☠☠ air ship when we had one.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Um. Did I say you had to sail it? Give it a badass name and then you can be the captain of something cool.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Blink. Blink.]

☠☠☠☠ kid, you're a ☠☠☠☠ genius. That'd be cool. I don't even have to be on it. I bet I could just mug a bunch of rich villains. Bust through their way, beat the ☠☠☠☠ out of them and take their money. Then I could buy a ship!

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah, I am a genius, aren't I? [SMUG]

You should do it.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Now to find a rich bad guy.

[followyouthere.livejournal.com]

I'll keep an eye out.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Good idea, then I'll take their money.
