Test Scene: Power Boy

[chance_visitor]

Metropolis is the city of the future. Therefore, it shouldn't be a surprise when even the criminals use high technology.

The city street buckles upward, as a mining craft plunges from the streets below, and straight into the wall of the bank. Robbers, armed with laser weapons and exoskeletons -- probably Intergang supplied -- pour out of the mining vessel.

They know not to spend too long engaging in such activity in Metropolis. Superman could return any moment. But they knew he was last seen heading somewhere north, and he likely wouldn't be back in the next few minutes. Still, best not to risk it.

As they head back to their mining vessel, however, there's someone floating in the air between them and their getaway vessel.

"Wow. You guys really didn't think this through, did you?" she asks them.

The robbers glance at each other, then raise their weapons. "Get her!"

There's a blur of black and gold as someone swoops out of the sky to snatch up one of the robbers. Floating over the group at about the same level as the floating woman, Power Boy grins as the man he's picked up. "Man did you pick the wrong city to rob a bank in," he chuckles, dangling the man by the back of his shirt.

Power Boy pauses as he notices the other woman in the air. "Oh," he frowns, looking her over. When he sees the symbol on her chest, his smile brightens considerably. "Heya! Feel free to stand back and watch the show if you want," he offers, casually dropping the robber he picked up on anothr.
