FIC (DRABBLE): Superhero
Summary: His mission: to protect the prozzies, the drunks, the stray dogs, the little old men.
Author's note: Written for the challenge High Concept on the LiveJournal community lifein1973 on 21-Oct-11.
By day he's a senior police officer. He cultivates the aura of a compromised bureaucrat, a man infinitely more devoted to his career path than to justice.
In his wildest dreams, he never expected his disguise to be so convincing.
When darkness falls, he takes out the cape, the leggings, and strokes them reverently. Then he runs up to the roof, dons his costume like a knight strapping on his armour, and leaps into the night's embrace.
His mission: to protect the prozzies, the drunks, the stray dogs, the little old men.
It's a bird! It's a plane!
It's... Superintendent.
