Otherways Pre-First Entrance

William Batson was in a rotten mood.

And he really, really needed a drink.

It had been one of those mornings.

First he had faced an invasion from the idiots who thought Earth would be a good place to put down their roots. He had shown them with all too easy a time that this was a bad idea. But then he had faced their last present, a battle robot that leaked some kind of oil... that stank.

After six showers, including one in magma, he finally felt clean, just in time to run into Mister Mxyzptlk, who had decided once again to come to town with his search for the meaning of life. Five Super bunnies, two purple dragons, one warp duck, and a twisted version of New Delhi later, he had managed to psych the imp into leaving town again.

Finally, he had gotten a talking to from Superman. Super-fucking-man. What a jerk. He had the utter gall to suggest Billy should be concerned with being a role model for kids. Like he cared about what kids thought! After the obligatory fight, a moanfest, and the concluding chapter where they ran into an idiot who was trying to take over Metropolis, they parted with a few last warning words.

And, now, William Batson, aka thew Captain, really needed that drink.

He landed in an alley near a bar he had been to a couple of times and jammed his hat on. As he hit the door, he felt his stomach twist and rolled his eyes. Great! Just what he needed, now he was getting sick.

But as he stepped inside, he suddenly knew that getting sick was the least of his worries.
