Spectacular World

It Was That Easy

"So, then Battery and I got in this super cool chase, and he ran like crazy fast and threw me!" Snowdawn announced proudly. "After spinning through the air I-"

"He crashed face first into a sign, and then I had to catch the speeding car on my own." Battery finished.

"Hey! That makes me sound uncool!" The snow-covered hero whined. "I prefer to say that I heroically left it in your hands."

Myth rolled his eyes. "So that's your excuse for why you have a broken nose?"

"Don't feel too bad, Snow." Cinder reached out and patted her childhood friend on the shoulder. "I did nothing as cool as that."

"It's true." Whisper nodded. "In fact, she ditched me."

"I said I was sorry."

"No, you didn't."

"Yes, I did-"

"Nope."

"Yes!"

"Can you all keep it down? We have patients trying to sleep." A nurse hissed, causing all the superheroes to wince.

They had arrived at the hospital as soon as they could. Battery's group had finished up first and had managed to arrest nearly twenty people. All of which had already been taken away by the police and would probably be getting lawyers sometime soon. Her group had caught a few members of the Bad Timers thanks to Poseidon and Paragon, as well as the few members Whisper had caught. As for Myth, he hadn't run into anyone and got off easy.

They were all fine, save for Snowdawn sporting a busted nose from ramming into a sign face-first. They currently stood in the hospital, waiting for the goon Poseidon had nearly killed. He was in far worse shape than any of the others, and in an effort to get help, he had promised to tell them information about the Wandering Coin. Something he had overheard Polaron himself discussing.

"Think he's going to be, okay?" Cinder asked.

"He better be." Myth said, folding his arms. "He's our best bet for getting answers and finishing the Wandering Coin off for good. Even if he's part of Bad Timers, I'll take all the help we can get at this point." The man was in his own hospital room, which they stood outside of. As soon as he was up, Battery and Myth were planning on having a long conversation with him.

"His body got pretty screwed up." Battery noted. "What did Poseidon do to him, exactly?"

"I knew it was bad, but I didn't think it was that bad." Myth frowned. Cinder stayed silent and looked away.

"I may need to have a word with her as well." Battery grunted. "Killing supervillains is fine. They have crazy powers, and it's kill or be killed. Normal humans, though, don't stand a chance when facing a Super. She had no reason to use that force and could have just knocked them out. What she did was no better than bullying the weak." He reached down to his pocket, going to pull out a cigarette, only to find his carton was full of wrapped-up suckers. "Are you freaking kidding me? Who did this? Why did they do this?"

Whisper gave an innocent whistle, her body fading out of view as she tried to tiptoe away before Battery could get revenge. "You shouldn't smoke inside a hospital anyway," Cinder said, rolling her eyes. "Do it in the car when no one is around, like my mom."

Battery looked like he was about to answer, but was stopped when the door to the room the Bad Timer goon was placed in opened slowly. Paragon wiped her hands down on her lab coat as she stepped out, followed closely by Poseidon. "He's up now if you want to talk to him. I went ahead and fixed most of his injuries and cleared his bloodstream of any substances since we found him in a villain bar."
