58th Inning

[freakinblur]

A mysterious man dressed in blue stands upon a streetlamp, perched with a mighty pose, a striking image of inspiration! Mayfield can rest safely, knowing their streets are being patrolled by... BONK BOY!

Wait, no. Bonk MAN. Though that doesn't exactly have a good ring to it. Whatever. We'll work on the name later.

The very obvious unknown

How old do ya think superheroes are supposed ta be?

[freakinblur]

I'm 22, kid! What, are superheroes where yer from still runnin' around in their underroos 'r somethin'?

Hey, this mask showed up fer me in tha mail from home. I have no idea what tha hell it is, but I'm gonna use it. An'... superhero's gotta have a cape.

[webball]

Oh WHAT IS THIS, a superhero BARGAIN SALE?!

[Peter is rubbing his eyes in aggravation as he watches a loon in a cape gallivant across the local park, confusing a few children.]

[freakinblur]

Oh hey kids, look! It's Lame Shot, the villain who rains on other people's parades!

[webball]

[Peter glances around, then realizes the finger is pointed squarely at himself. Damn it. Behold, the Spider-Sarcasm Strikes!]

Oh, ha ha, doofus. Where'd you get your cape? Math Camp?

......Wait, is that a gun?

[freakinblur]

Nope. From yer mom's house.

[He spins the pistol on his finger for a moment. Then he holds it up so Peter can see the underside - the clip is missing.]

Yeah. I ain't an idiot though. Kids 'n' all. [Well, he IS an idiot, but at least he knows his gun safety.]

[Just staring a little, distracted from his evening walk to make sure things are safe.]

You know, here I have to ask, is the mask of any real significance? [Because if you're a real superhero, you're likely to gain yourself a new fan.]

[freakinblur]

Huh? Oh! Well, first, it's blue. Cuz, blue is the best color. And these? These thing things? It's cuz I run like tha wind.

[alwayscarone]

Oh. Are you.... you know, heroic?

[freakinblur]

Oh yeah. Totally heroic! This place is fulla bad guys I am so ready ta give a beatin' to. You have no idea.

Lan Fan's backyard

[ Someone is running with a very very pointy sharp object known as a Kunai! She seems to be all right when it comes to slicing tree branches, but this risky behavior must be stopped at all costs! ]

[freakinblur]

[Scout swings down, and lands in a branch in the tree above her.]

Ain't anyone ever tell ya ta not run with sharp stuff, like scissors or whatever?

[trueguardian]

[ Lan Fan isn't sure what this man may possibly be doing but she's sure he's referring to the kunai. Lan Fan slides it between her index finger and twirls it briefly before shaking her head. She's lucky that her mask is blocking her face. For now, she just shakes her head no, but her grip tightens on the kunai in case he tries to steal it. ]

No. I was encouraged. [ Sorry, BLU, she's a bit standoffish ): ]

[freakinblur]

Oh ho! I see. Got some fancy moves there, kid. I see ya got a mask 'a yer own there. So, you a good guy 'r a bad guy?
