If the popped armor guy is within stretchy-reach, Chin-Su reaches his arms out towards him to retrieve him and bring him back to the group.
What goes up must come down. Lady Hawk flies to intercept the now non-armored hero as he plummets.
Looks like Government Armor Guy is in good hands! Chin, he got thrown so far up in the sky that you can't reach him until he's on the way down. Fortunately, if Lady Hawk can slow him down (she can) you can bring him the rest of the way. Which means she doesn't have to land, which saves time.
I'm just sayin' .... when you're fighting a guy with super-speed, saving time can be important.
Chin-Su weaves his fingers into a net to catch the fella wherever LadyHawk chooses to drop him.
Vina tells the guy she's planning to drop him into a net.
He says, "Thanks! Here I thought Mr. Luthor''s anti-Superman defenses were paranoid ... but at least we tried."
"So, are you from Krypton too? Reason I say that, the President''s got three more Superman defenses in play, so you might find your powers getting a little unreliable ... which could be way up in the air like we are now."
"Nope. These are Thanagarian wings. Mechanical. I would think they'd be fine."
She is kind of amused he did not notice the wings.
"Isn't Superman one of the good guys? Of course, that didn't look exactly like Superman."
"Yeah, I know, right?" says the guy. "But the President thinks Superman might turn evil one day, or get mind-controlled. Glad this joker isn't him."
"Well, who is he?" Vina asks.
"What, you don't know either?" says the guy. "He's just some whackjob with super-powers, that's all we know!"
"Reason I said Krypton, is you're wearing the S. But I guess that's smart, right? Keep the bad guys guessing."
Ian breathes a sigh of relief as Vina and Chin take care of the public servant. "With super speed, he could have killed that guy if he wanted. I'm going to go find out what his issue is."
ReplyDeleteIan then phases through Ray's green bubble and sets down (still phased) about 10 yards away from Zipperneck. "Sounds like you're on the clock," he says, with his hands raised and open. "Feel like telling us why you're trying to do this the hard way?"
