Ian has no idea if Bizarro can see him or not, but he changes into civilian garb and 'appears' from behind some sort of rooftop object nearby.
"Oh no, Bizarro! Where is Superman? He could be anywhere... well, anywhere except sitting on top of the Daily Planet building patiently waiting for Chinese Take-Out. We know he's not there doing that, but he could be anywhere doing anything else!"
"Goodbye, Rooftop Man! Me am Bizarro. Give me your Chinese take-out."
"Um, goodbye! I'll... go check on your order and see what the hold-up is. D-Do you want extra fortune cookies?" Ian walks over to pick up both the Scarecrow and the (Aquaman?) icon, then hops over the side, using his flight ability to float safely to the ground.
JimBob, seeing an apparent civilian fall helplessly off the roof of a building, stretches his arms all the way over to him (without moving his legs) to catch him.
This results in Ian being caught by a stretchy guy in a Chin-Su costume.
Bizarro, looking over the edge of the building, uses his Z-Ray Vision. Ian, the Scarecrow, and Jimbob's arms become transparent, almost but not quite invisible, and their bones glow clearly.
"Hey! You am not giving mystery thing to Scarecrow! Bizarro not destroy you now!"
Bizarro flies after Ian and Jimbob (and Scarecrow), intent on mayhem.
Quinn can't see or hear any of this, of course, but in the meantime he will try to rock back and forth, hoping to shatter or weaken the ice when it hits the ground. It's gettin' a little cold in there.
SKISSH! He breaks the ice by falling backwards. And sees the aerial battle about to unfold.
Quinn gets up shivering, but trying not to show it. He turns to JimBob. "So you want to tag team Bizarro, or what?"
ReplyDelete"Thanks for the catch, I think," Ian replies, turning just a little paler at the sight of an angry Bizarro in pursuit.
ReplyDelete"...Or we could triple team him, maybe. I mean, I can do some things." Ian changes his form then and there to become the spitting image of the Scarecrow, hoping that will give the (easily confused?) supervillain a moment's pause.
JimBob turns to Quinn. "You're got the strongest punch of all of us. Ian and I will distract him as long as we can, and you... I dunno... sneak up behind him and drop a piano on him, or something!"
ReplyDeleteHe looks at Ian and says in a loud, whiny voice "But SCARE-CROWWW, I was gonna go to the Tashi station to pick up some POWER converters!!!"
"You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done," Quinn says in a gruff voice and a smile. "And by chores, I mean getting Bizarro over here while I hide up there, and get the drop on him. Literally." He points to the roof of the building behind them.
