      "All rise. The court is now in session." The authorities stated, everyone in the room shook with eagerness, just waiting on what will happen. News reporters stood, recording every detail, waiting on what kind of saying they could twist the truth out of. In strolled quite an old man, with the famous clothes he wore. His glasses shimmered against the lights. As everyone still stood, waiting for the oath to be said, a heart ached in pain. Wretched with pain and sorrow. Viewing and taking all of this in, as their mind began to rot.

"Come at me, fool!" Scars tainted your skin, as if your face was a canvas. Grinning, your words dripped with provoke. Laughing, you easily dodged the villains attacks. "Why don't you come closer!", the villain snarled. His body dripped with dangerous slime, where it could suffocate one till death. As your laughs continued, you reached back pulling out a feather. Immediately the object shifted into an arrow. "You wish, darling!" Man, throwing names at this villain sure seemed to piss him off more. "Aw shit!" Just as you were going to escape from one of his punches, he was able to grab you from behind. "Not so cocky now, are we?" He cackled with ease, trapping you in his thick ooze that produced from him. If only he was here, he would've helped you. Screaming his name would do no good.

Without any emotion, he sat there. No smile spread on his lips like usual, of course he could escape using his powers, why didn't he? "Please raise your right hand to take the oath." Did he wish for the news reporters to see what he did? Glorify what he had done?! A sick mental man he was, wishing for his actions to be praised and talked about. Pride was all he held. The judge continued, "Do you solemnly swear or affirm that you will truly listen to this case and render a true and verdict case and fair sentence to this defendant?"  As the jury agreed, they sat down. Examining his movements, you still couldn't believe what he had done, what his hands had done. Stained with the most wretched crime you could ever think of. Suddenly, this golden eyes hooked up with yours, flinching you immediately looked away. You couldn't bear look at the eyes of a man that carries the title 'murderer' around.

"God, you are just fun at parties, arent you?" Pushing and tugging, your body tried to escape the jungle of ooze. Unfortunately, all it did was trap you, squeezing your breath out as well. This villain made sure to keep you in, in fact, he was a very common enemy on the news. The only grand thing he had done in his life was kill a superhero. Now, you were gonna be his next victim. Due to such small space around you, your wings were tucked in. You couldn't even stab this guy, he cackled and mocked your actions. Where were the others?!

The judge has asked his questions to the prosecuting attorneys and the defense attorneys, for now the witnesses had to come to the stand. One by one, all three of them had to swear to tell the truth as well. One held brown hair, and a green mask. The other had a yellow mask, with puffed and slicked ginger hair, the next one's hair was slicked brown hair with blue covering his face. As their lips prayed open, the same details were said, just in different words. Yet, each one were enough to make it clear. He was guilty. Suddenly, the prosectuer attorney had finally called, you. "Thank you, your honor. I call Angel to the stand." Her heart raced with fear, it was time. To say what he had done. With shaking legs, you walked towards the podium. Behind you, he stared at your back, his stare was sl heavy, it felt like holes were drilled onto you.

It felt like there was hardly anything you could do but wait, the area that held you was too thick. It practically cut off the air for you, waiting for your body to have no more oxygen to breathe in. "WATTS, NOW!!" From beneath all the layers of gooey thickness, you heard a familiar voice. As your eyes jumped up, you managed to scrape a bit of ooze just for a looking space. A blur of green and yellow blurred past you, suddenly a splat was heard. And you met face to face with such a giddy face, full of small specks like a universe were painted on him. "Hey Angel! How are you doing in that icky goo?" He asked in such a childish way. "Haha, yep I'm doing amazing here!" A hint of sarcasm was heard from you, but you couldnt focus on that. "Anyways, Watts, did anyone ever tell you that you have such amazing good looks?" There it was, now it happened. His smile went from a small, to large wide one. "REALLY?! THANK YOU!", without hesitation, you shielded yourself, within seconds, bright electricity spread throughout the villain immediately making an affect on him.
