Metropolis has always had its share of heroes. From Superman to the Newsboy Legion, the Guardian, the city could consider itself well-protected.
As of recently, more were even added to the melting pot. Infinity Incorporated, Lexcorp's publicly sponsored entity have taken up residence in the city. Between handling operations that may take them from city limits, the team members are also expected to handle minor problems internally.
This, would be one of them.
"Let me get this straight. You can control emotions using your lights. Aaaand, when you flash a certain one, you can cause fear, or anger, or sadness."
The spoken to subject just nods.
"So, instead of, I don't know, using it to help people...you wanted to rob a food court. I say again. A.FOOD.COURT."
Another nod. This one more nervous.
The speaker, Infinity Inc's Miracleman regards this for a few moments, keeping the captured Doctor Spectro at arm's length and high above the Siegel Centre mall. Miracleman has his hands around the back of Spectro's neck, and starts to do some calculations. "You know...I'm not going to drop you. I just wanted to get us up here to get some thinking time, and wonder about how long you'd be going away for IF you pulled it off."
Spectro grabs hold of his arm, trying to do something, anything to keep from going airborne to the crowded streets below.
"Okay, Doc...lets get you out of here. I don't even feel like doing the paperwork to have you booked. So if you promise that you'll stop trying to steal things, and primarily never wear that costume again...you can get home in time to watch the game. Deal?"
