Superhero Talk - part 2 (Superman and Batman)

-

Continuing with the idea of trying my hand at writing dialogue between certain characters, next I thought about two from the same company, 🦇Batman and 🦸🏻‍♂️Superman. The World's Finest having a little convo. Sounds fun, right? Hope you enjoy this little writing exercise. 😊

B: Thank you for coming, Superman. I'd normally request Green Arrow to join me in stakeout missions for the League, but the way we've been spread so thin lately...

S: Don't worry, I'm glad to help. So, what is that building you're surveying?

B: I've been following the trail of a new gunrunner who appeared in Gotham, which is not uncommon, but when I realized they were visiting places like Star City, Metropolis and Coast City, I knew there was more to it.

S: Cities protected by members of the League.

B: Exactly. That's not all, I found out they've been in areas that have seen some action. Places that have been battlefields or had some sort of metahuman confrontation, especially of the alien kind.

S: Do you think they're looking into alien tech? Biology?

B: That's my assumption and what we're trying find out here. That is no regular office building. I tracked some perps to this place and it wouldn't surprise me if the whole building was a secret stash or a hideout.

S: Intriguing. Okay then, let's find out. How can I help you?

B: Hmm... your costume is a bit conspicuous... it would be great if we could keep the element of surprise.

S: Yes, I'm aware. The thing is... I don't usually need to use stealth. But, for your information, I can be imperceptible if need be.

B: How so?

S: For one, my speed helps; aside from that, flying low, if my target is in the upper floor of a building or sometimes staying high above the clouds when surveying the city. That allows me to stay out of sight.

For instance, I can easily check in on Lois and she won't know I'm there.

B:...

S: What's that smile in the corner of your mouth?

B: You said "target" and then you mention how you check in on Lois?
It seems women in Metropolis need their walls lined with lead if they want some privacy.

S: Unbelievable.... you know I didn't mean it like tha-

B: Calm down, I just thought it was funny. Never mind that. I need your help checking the floors for traps, people inside or anything interesting.

S: All right, can do.

B: Thank you, Super Stalker.

S: Hey!

It patiently awaits You'r e cal mly sipping a coffee late into the night in a kitchen partly lit by two LED lights placed strategically , illuminating just enough to allow you to move around in the kitchen and find everything you may need . While sitting and enjoying the hot beverage , you have an open view of a dark hallway leading to the living room . Veiled by darkness , you get to make out a few shapes, such as a lamp , a chair and a small table , but the corner of your eye catches something .   Your gaze is then turned to the cup for another sip when your brain realizes something is off. Eyes quickly move from the dark liquid to the dark corridor when you notice something seems to appear in the corner, at the end of the corridor leading to the living room .     No.   It's always been there ! Something akin to a pair of eyes staring at you all that long. The befudd

Draconia - Medieval fantasy style short story

-
 It's been a while since my first post, but here's another short story. A little piece of medieval fantasy, video game-like idea that came to mind. 😉 DRACONIA   I sincerely hope there is enough ink and parchment for me to register my most recent undertaking. As I made my way to the Northlands to receive the payment for my recent job, I chanced upon a town called Æsterya and decided to visit it and offer my mercenary services. That way I would make some more money and perchance easily get my hands on a few gold pieces before moving on to the Northlands and their big walled city.     You see, I've had a sword in my hands ever since I was a kid. It is what I do. I wield it, I swing it and sometimes kill with it. Services may involve dealing with creatures of the night, demons or simply despicable humans. With the latter kind things tend to be easier, since, at times, there's no need to tarnish my sword with blood and I can simply use intimidation tactics t

Dragoneye

Firstly, let me start saying that I didn't know what to use in the title of this post😂 but Dragoneye sounds cool enough. Speaking of cool, dragons are cool, right? This sketch taught me something: sketching dragons and bump some heavy metal in your earphones go perfectly along like coffe and milk, like chocolate and peanut butter, like burger and fries? You get the picture. It's feels great to get "in the zone", simply immersed in the task. Dragons are metal... so why not sketch some while listening to metal? Not too lound, of course, please protect your ears. 😉
