Before, the man.

Midtown was not the safest city of all, but crime rates
were dropping, exponentially I would say, all thanks to the
appearance of a new hero, Captain Justice, a monument of the
universe to what was good and fair.
Criminals, all of them, from the super, to the commons,
they all began to fee to other cities since his arrival. The
prisons were geting overcrowded.
In his blue and uniform cloak masterfully made to order,
his star in the chest showed all the evildoers that their time of
evil had ended, at the moment the greatest of all heroes
appeared to save us.
It was a day like any other when i was struck by a
meteorite when I was walking through the forest, and since
then when someone is in danger, my mind goes blank and I
change into him, I do not remember anything when I am
Captain Justice, even still, i am a big fan of him, just like my
son, little Jimmy Smith. Oh my God, I forgot to introduce
myself, my name is John Smith, I'm 35 years old, I have 2
beautiful children, and a single father, and I'm an accountant at
an insurance company.
Since she's gone and my little sister, Ellie who helps me
with Jimmy and Betty in exchange for a place to sleep while
she finishes her law school.
My wife has abandoned me and my children, I try not to think
about her, but it is difficult to have a daily reminder of all the
years we spent together
My sister Ellie hates her. Actually, she does not like
anyone other than my children, who obey her even more than
me, they are good children, but they blame me for abandoning
their mother, I do not blame them, we were both guilty of
situation, I think.
I work in an office in the city center, it's not such an
exciting job, but it pays the bills, yes, until a certain amount of
time, every summer we do some family programming,
camping in the woods, or a beach, always, every summer,
everyone we, always together, now no more, because of her
disappearance and something.
We always traveled when we could, Midtown was very
violent, so I bought a house in the countryside, but everything
changed thanks to me, that is to say, thanks to Captain Justice,
when the meteor fell the house caught fire together, my wife
abandoned us the same day, that was a horrible day for me.
We were in March already, and I was going to work like
any other day, when once again I lost control of my body, there
were some victims in some immediate danger nearby, plus a
job for Captain Justice.
When I wake up, I see I'm at the top of a building, in the
building where I work, by the way, how Captain Justice is
good to me, saved people in distress yet flew here so I would
not be late.
No one had noticed that I came on the terrace, no one ever
noticed me, in the end not even my wife.
The office was very hectic that morning, the heroes'
interventions here were always balanced with those of the
villains, but since the arrival of Captain Justice, out-of-town
companies could count on the safety of Midtown now.
This brought us great business, as an insurer, almost
everything passed by my table, until it seemed that only I
worked there, and, for a change, my desk was again jammed
with paperwork to be reviewed and analyzed, and until noon.
Again, another day was passing, when I saw everyone
running to the windows, I interrupted momentarily to give in
to curiosity, someone hit my shoulder and my glasses fell to
the floor and to improve I hear the sound of glass breaking
under someone's feet, I complain, but no one seems to hear,
until I see the shapes in front of me running, all moving away
from the windows.
Soon I feel only one hand pulling me away from the
window, and as soon as I'm far enough I hear a crash, maybe a
truck exploding in the streets below, or some villain attacking
again, after a long time. An immense shadow covers the
entrances of light in the building, many cry in despair, but I see
nothing, neither who pulled me to safety, nor who projected
such a great shadow.
And again, the same crash, the shadow that covered the
facade of the building disappears. The screams of the people
get even louder, I did not understand the reason, until I felt the
wind on my face, a strong wind that blows only on the 45th
floor, the floor where I work.

The attack

It was 9:45 in the morning when Gigantor had attacked

my city again, I had left him on the moon, how he had returned
to Earth? Usually I take all criminals to justice, but it is very
difficult to take a man 150 meters of height, and to arrest him
like the other criminals.
 There was no time to think about these details, people
were in danger, and I should get John out as quickly as
possible, no one could discover our secret identity. Lucky that
there were few injured in our building, and none at risk of life,
my super audition confirmed immediately, but some people in
the streets power.
There was no time to think about these details, people
were in danger, and I should get John out as quickly as
possible, no one could discover our secret identity. Lucky there
were a few wounded in our building, and none at risk of life,
my super audition confirmed immediately, but some people on
the streets might not be so lucky. I had John Smith run to an
elevator shaft, open it, and jump into it.
And finally, out of everyone's sight, I can become
majestic Captain Justice, so I flew out of that building at high
speed, but did not want to do any more damage to the structure
of that historic relic of Midtown. Several other heroes already
aided in the rescue of the wounded, and always aided by the
firemen and policemen.
Immediately when I get outside, I hear a lady falling
from a building nearby, and without even thinking, I am with
her in my arms in safety. I leave it on the floor and see that
there are some different things on Gigantor's shoulders.
But he would step on a school bus with several children
on a field trip to the natural history museum, where they were
building a wing dedicated to me, and I would not deprive
future generations of meeting their greatest hero. Myself.
The woman thanks me, and before saving the children I
look at her to reinforce that, she and everyone else are safe,
with my wonderful contagious smile, but it was time for the
biggest fisherman of villains to catch the biggest fish.
I easily reach Gigantor, but there would be no time to
defeat him before the children are trampled underfoot and I am
forced to give up the colossal villain and head for the bus,
pulling everyone off the ground safely away from the monster.
They smile and scream my name with all the glow of their
lungs.
The people love me and I love them back.
Putting them all safely, fly to the height of Gigantor's
head, preventing him from advancing. There was only one man
on his shoulder, but with several metal plates around him.
Wearing gray clothes and dirty with black powder, I say
that I am a good physiognomist, but I did not remember such
a villain, so he would certainly introduce himself and ... "

The hero

A captain of the colossal villain hits Captain Justice

squarely, throwing him against a building near him, but the
experienced hero manages to brake his body before colliding
with the facade leaving many dollars at a loss.
His body was slightly sore, but his mind was in greater
conflict.
"Why was I attacked by surprise? Because the villain on his
shoulder did not make an evil speech showing his goals?"
The facade of the building behind the Captain writhes
enveloping him, the steel beams folded like tentacles of an
octopus, seeking at all costs to reach him, then the quick hero
flies with some tranquility dodging all attempts, but his vision
was blocked by the beams, and again, a blow from Gigantor
hits him full, it was even stronger than the first.
The mere shock wave breaks glass nearby, and the
bastion of justice falls to the ground, where when he stands he
sees that his feet were wrapped in steel shoes. His power was
more than enough to be delivered, but an immense shadow
covers him, and is trampled with a force of Biblical
proportions.
Under the giant's foot, Captain Justice, hears the lament
of several people, innocent civilians who have been or will be
victims of this pair of villains who attack so cowardly.
This gives him the strength to get under his foot and fly
to a distance greater than the reach of Gigantor's hands, or
some piece of metal, and from afar a few innocent men still
standing in the middle of the battlefield stop to witness the as
usual.
Such a reaction that would have been commonplace and
safe on other days would have increased exponentially since
there was a certain code between heroes and villains, both
presented themselves, spoke before the clash, there was never
a co-operation between the villains, at least not in Midtown .
And with his lung full of air to start his monologue,
Captain Justice notes that he has 4 broken ribs, talk would hurt
him, but it would not stop him.
_WHAT ARE YOU IN GIGANTOR'S SHOULDERS
?! TELL ME NEFARIOUS MAN! _
Some moments of silence follow, but soon Gigantor
raises his arms against a building next to him, several curious,
ready to be crushed by the blow.
The execution of such an attack greatly disrupted the hero,
most criminals robbed and kidnapped people, but he saw in
Gigantor's eyes an adrenaline, a psychotic outbreak, ready to
discharge such fury at those innocents.
The emptiness in the villain's eyes, freezes Captain Justice in
mid-flight, Gigantor was much faster than usual.
It could be a villain's acting out, but within a fraction of
a second later his suspicions were mitigated, Gigantor hits the
side of the building with all his monstruous strength,
immediately pulverizing many citizens, and wounding many
more.
The terror, a feeling he had never felt, now floods the
heart of the hero, but the cries of the inhabitants awakens him
from the trance he was in, and begins the approach again
within reach of both.
Arriving at the building those who had not died with the
blow were being pierced by iron bars and other metallic
objects.
Captain Justice saves some who were about to be killed
or mortally struck by the debris, the blood of the victims flows
through the hands of the hero, infuriating him, not many times
since he got to Midtown he had used his greatest power, the
"Light of Righteousness", it was a great beam of light, very
powerful, but it consumes a lot of the heros power.
But he could no longer afford to restrain himself, for he was
already wounded and less numerous than the villains.
Leaving a gentleman with a twisted foot in a more
secure corner, Captain Justice feels a colossal displacement of
air again. Gigantor was preparing another attack, while the
metal manipulator villain on his shoulder focused on knocking
the building down once and for all.
Without hesitation, still inside the swinging
construction, Captain Justice begins to concentrate a white
energy in a sphere in front of his forehead, that energy
produced a buzzing, a frightening rustle, with very high
temperatures, the mere proximity with any other material
carbonized it instantly, and soon he would dump all that energy
into both of them whether or not they survived.
Gigantor throws a punch again at the hero, but he was
already outside the building that began to collapse, so he feels
his strength diminishing by the second, yet he sees that the man
who controlled metals at distance, bleeding from the nose and
already was almost fainted, but there was another person
running toward him, another villain, Dr. Toxicologist, inventor
of chemicals who modified his victims at his pleasure.
To Gigantor's misfortune, the "Light of Righteousness"
was at its limit, and when his fist clenched a few feet from the
Captain, he unleashed the barrage of raw energy against the
colossus. The beam of light blinds those who have looked at it
directly, even if for a short time.
His titanic arm is utterly destroyed, leaving not even
ashes behind, the caustic heat of the light causing damage to
the magnetic villain, Dr. Toxicological injects a compound
into his neck and protects the unknown villain from the
infernal heat that had come out of the energy globe in front of
the hero's forehead.
Though very tired, now would be the time to show the
city of Midtown that their greatest pride would not fail them.
And he has not.
 Rescue Team.

Flying like lightning, the wounded and weary Captain

Justice goes to the building that fell, fortunately, other super
Strong heroes, that also fly were already holding so that the
building did not fall.
Another hero, called the Golden Eagle by his side, turns to
Captain Justice and says,
_You already made enough man! Fairie !! Where are
you?!_ And a 10-year-old girl with butterfly wings and lots of
glitter in her pink and green dress comes up asking:
_What the hell do you want from me, you little shit? Can
you not see, that i am being heroic as fuck here?
_Cut the crap, you old hag and go get the "Green
Healer"! He's downstairs with the survivors of that coffee
shop. _ Noticing Fairie’ lack of willingness to cooperate, Gold
Eagle shouts:
_ NOW GODDAMMIT!
_Ok! Fine! Geez, there is no need to yell at me... _
*sigh* _... no one respect the elders anymore! _ And flies to
the ground level.
Still a little dizzy, the Captain Justice with the help of
the other heroes raise the building, avoiding that the people
fall. But there was still a threat to be contained.
Even very injured Gigantor, Dr. Toxicological and the
mysterious new villain were still on the other side.
The giant's screams of pain echoed throughout the city.
 _I was forced to burn Gigantor’s arm off, he got two 2
other villains .._ Said the Captain.
_Dr. Toxicological and the "Magnetron", we know _
Complete the Golden Eagle.
_Is that his name?_ He ask.
_No, that is the name that this crazy "Eagle" invented
for him ... - Responds Valkyrie, another heroine, who just
arrived to help contain the structure.
While other heroes were evacuating the streets below
them, and the building secure, "the Mage", interrupts all other
heroes saying:
_Children, shut up for a moment, please, Gigantor
started walking again, he intends to escape. And with the
exception of the Captain here, who is already exhausted, the
Golden Eagle and myself, there is no one able to contain it
without leaving others in danger._
Only the sound of the monstrous footsteps are heard by
the heroes, cries of more people getting hurt and there is
nothing these heroes can do until everyone is safe. And the
silence lasts until other heroes begin to evacuate the
inhabitants inside the building.
Weakness to the victims who saw him this way for the first
time shame him. Until the Captain sees "Herbaceous" building
a ladder slide to a nearby building.
_Herbaceous! My friend, goddess of plants and savior
of the earth and men, surround the building with your
vineyards, and wrap them in me! So I can hold it, long enough,
so that others can contain Gigantor and ... _Interrupting his
speech, Herbaceous uses several branches that leave his arms
and obey the request of his ally._
 Many victims scaped through the vines, others were
saved by the Spider-Hominid, or the Batmale.
Captain Justice had never showed any pain while his
broken ribs were been wrapped by the vines that served as a
hammock, they distribute the weight of the building evenly, to
prevent it from collapsing.
Some other heroes try to dissuade him from such, but
everything they say is muffled by the howling of his maximum
effort, and eventually he stabilizes the building enough that the
Wizard and the Golden Eagle could fight the villains. But not
before they hear his advice.
_Watch out guys, they are working as a team for the first
time, but I realize something REALLY different and evil on
them, so, go with caution._
Both nod their heads and go to meet the immense villain,
who even seriously injured, could be a real danger.
The angle on which Captain Justice stood made his
battlefield sight limited, and he could not see through that
much steel and concrete after using the Light of Righteousness.
Moments later, when the last survivor in the building
was removed, Fairie returns with the Green Healer on a huge
soap ball.
_Where is that fucking bird? He asks me to bring this
pothead here and then dissapears?
_Over there Fairie ..._ Points Valkyrie to Captain Justice
as he descends with a girl on his lap to another building ...
_Oh that's right, I'd forgotten who was needing heal._
Then the "innocent" fairy flies to the captain, bringing on the
tip of his magic wand the old man known as a Green Healer.
 _DUUUUDE !!Who has the stregnth to broke your ribs
my man?_ His eyes were white, as if he was blind, and that
skinny rastafarian-looking man pulls some powders, fluids,
and leaves from his purses on the his waist, mixing everything
and placing over the wounds. Everyone was relaxed as the
peaceful little man with skin as dark as the ebony quickly cured
Captain Justice.
_SHHHH! Did you hear that ?! Rain? Thunder?
SHHHHHHHHHHH !!! Green Healer said with a trully
confusion on his mind.
_ “SHHHH" my ass! Go "SHUSH" your mother your
cun ...._ Fairie angry replied.
_SHHHHHHHHHHHH, shut up lady !! This is serious
... this is not the sound of thunder no! _ He interrupts himself
again, while his usual peaceful countenance was replaced by a
dismayed and intimidated one.
_What do you see Green Healer? My friend, the knower
of all healing and the natural wisdom, son and spokesman of
Gaia?_ Asks the Captain.
The old man pulls a seed out of a small pocket in his
chest, opens Captain Justice's mouth with one hand, and forces
him to swallow the seed, and at this same frantic pace, points
to the horizon and when everyone turns to check what he said:
_The Golden Eagle was killed !! _ And although
everyone was initially frightened by the statement, some
moments pass and nothing happens, and when the three heroes
nearby think about looking away.
The immense dead body of the Golden Eagle pierced a
building, its wings were broken and its armor was in shards,
and a trail of blood painted the course it had passed.
 Reversible Heroism

Having among them all the best reflexes, Captain Justice

flies towards his friend, breaking the vineyards as if they were
nothing. And only then did everyone hear the sonic boom of
his friend who had been thrown with extraordinary strength,
even to a villain whom most of them were already used to face
almost daily.
The captain flies, hugs him and slowly slows down so
that the crash does not cause further damage. When he reached
safety on a terrace from the ground, the Green Healer, with his
black dreadlocks, now glowed white, and boiled white smoke.
And with his hands try to do something for his friend.
_ It’s too late Captain! He is really dead! Go now and
save the Wizard ... otherwise he will too ... - Long before the
sentence is finished, Captain Justice takes flight, destroying
the ground of the terrace where he was.
He feels all his energy coming back, thanks to the
Healer, and accelerates even more, only to see that his friend
Valkyrie was layed on the ground, while several beams and
huge fireballs hit Gigantor, but they were not stronger than
mosquitões.
He thinks of going to save his friend, but he hears in his
head:
 _She's already dead, Captain!_ The Magician informs
him telepathically.
While himself was still alive, and knew how to teleport
and leave the giant’s reach, every attack he became more and
tired and Gigantor get closer to hit him in every punch.
Until in a moment of distraction the Magician realizes
that there will be no escape and creates a magic barrier to
contain the direct attack of Gigantor.
But his titanic arms were wrapped in metal, and much
more muscular than usual. The captain flies into the fight in
order to prevent the full force of the attack, and despite being
successful, both are thrown quite far.
The Midtown hero sees that the arm that had been
burned, has grown almost completely, and whatever the reason
why Gigantor was so powerfull, he would reverse such effects
with the help of Dr. Toxicological and began the search for
him.
With his hero eyes, Captain Justice sees the mysterious
villain next to Dr. Toxicological, still fainted, the villain was
preparing some chemical cocktail, probably some stimulant, in
the safety of the city sewers, Gigantor was even faster than the
first encounter , minutes ago. Yet such speed was not enough
to hit the agile Captain Justice. Which now breaks the ground
by surprising Dr. Toxicological that lets his mixture fall on the
ground.
Before he could sketch some reaction, he flies to the
white-robed villain, but both his clothes and his skin were
covered with soot, but he promptly surrenders, raising his
arms.
 The captain also picks up the magnetic villain and flies
out of there looking for some police car, seconds later finds it
and leaves them both in custody, as he notices Dr. counting
down with an evil grin.
_Thanks cops, you are the bastion of justice in this city,
and my efforts would be nothing without you ....
_SHUT YA FUCKIN’ MOUTH CAPTAIN!! AND
GOES TO HELP THE REST OF PERSONAL FUCK !! _
Interrupts an anguished policeman.
_Yes sir, you are right ...
_GET OUTTA HERE DAMMIT !!! _ Screams the same
police officer.
And leaving a trail of dampness in the air, lifting the
papers and skirts of the fans nearby, finally the great Midtown
hero returns to combat.

The revelation

While mid-air the Captain Justice sees the Raging

Bull running toward the Gigantor, and decides to help him
with his speed, the Taurus was strong but not too fast.
_Captain! How nice! That you are here, take me to
the Gigantor's mouth, the Spider-Hominid told me that he has
a device in his mouth, and we think there may be some
correlation with his sudden improvement in his powers. _
Remembering the countdown of Dr. Toxicological
Captain Justice holds his ally with all force and flies as fast as
possible to the giant that fought against several heroes.
Putting his friend Raging Bull in the direction of the
giant's mouth, and at full speed, the captain opens his hands
and his immense muscular ally casts a blow strong enough to
tear the skin of his mouth and break a few teeth.
Holding himself in the nostrils of the Gigantor, the
mythologically strong hero magnifies the damage in the
villain's mouth until, already saturated, the colossus bites the
arm of the hero and shoots him away, and when he stretches
his hand to hold it and so surely ending with his life, another
hero, the Spider-Hominid builds a web and quickly saves
Indomitable Bull, who lay with one of the broken arms.
Every hit of Captain Justice or Wizard magic did
little against him. Until they noticed a device at the base of
his brain, maybe that was the reason for the aggressiveness
and speed of a once-slow villain.
_Friends I will not be able to take him to the moon
again as I did earlier, he is very agitated, and there are two
devices in it, one inside his mouth and the other trapped
under his skin at the base of his brain. _
_Captain! We must get him out of here as soon as
possible ... _ says the Wizard aloud._ ... the healer said there
will be a large number of deaths in the city today. _
_ I can kill you with my "Light of Righteousness",
but it is not right! I can not condemn you to death so
summarily, without proper judgment, we would not be
different from those we fight against. _
With an exhausted look, and nonconformity.
_Buts Captain you would be killing one to save the
lives of thousands! _ Inquires the Magician. _ The Healer
used his powers of prediction and told me that many people
will die today ...
_I can not and will not, let's think of another
alternative._ Captain Justice reports.
 And when everyone else surrounded the giant. A
light on the horizon shines, and a millionths of a second later,
something crosses the nape and mouth of Gigantor, and then
such golden light rises to the upper atmosphere at
immeasurable speeds for the witnesses there. who had only
realized afterwards that all the air drag went through them.
Gigantor begins to behave as everyone here was
accustomed, a very slow opponent, who only caused damage
to the ground and an occasional building, given his slow
inattention to feed.
Moments after light reached the heavens, an immense
explosion, leaving a cloud of toxic gases behind, but thanks
to some unknown hero, far from any innocent person, and all
stared at the glow of the bombing, while the Magician was
the only one to look at the floor
_Captain!_
_Mage! Did you see that?_
_Captain!!_
_ It was so fast, did you see who it was? Had not Blue
Lightning been moved to Japan? And his light was bluish ...
no golde ....
_WHAT THE HELL CAPTAIN !! Shut your mouth for
a moment and look at the floor man!_At the sight he sees a
woman standing in front of Gigantor, both doing nothing.
Thinking of being a citizen and not asking her friend the
Magician, Captain Justice goes to the woman's aid.
Approaching the woman he sees that she was Ellie
Smith, the sister of her alter ego, this further hastens her
ransom, but she moves faster holds him by the arm and throws
him away from there.
 It begins to fly until Gigantor, who still complains of
having his mouth and neck pierced, and expects a reaction
from him, who had a laudable regeneration and an idiotic
mind, a blank page, being manipulated enough to cause so
many deaths in the hands of really dangerous villains.
_ MIDTOWN HEROES!! YOU SAW FIRST
HANDED THE DAMAGE THAT THIS THING CAN
CAUSE WITH CERTAIN ALLIANCES,
UNFORTUNATELY HE IS DANGEROUS TOO LIVING.
Before anyone could challenge her, Gigantor's entire
body is wrapped in a golden light, and the colossal 150-yards-
long humanoid begins to fly and to evaporate.
His scream scares everyone there, heroes and citizens.
Ellie lands again as Captain Justice searches for her neck,
finding nothing but air as the young woman with purple hair
and tattoos jumps over him with great speed.
Several heroes approach slowly.
_I am not the villain here, you and this lack of focus,
objectiveness your, makes you more dangerous and criminal
as the ones that you put behind bars ...
_How dare you compare us to these monsters?_ Ask
Captain Justice.
How many people died from your inattention? How
many more would die for you not taking the threat out of the
city before?
_Like you?..._
_I know you Captain, you like it, no ... “liking” is not
the word, you LOVE to be admired, always do your best for
your fights to last longer, you breathe the cries for help from
your fans.
 And who does it for prestige is not a hero, nothing more
than a politically correct villain.
Many have been saved by you, but those who fell under
your watch are as much your fault as those who destroyed
houses, pulled the trigger, burned and everything else!
You may not see yourself as the villain, but stop
showing yourself as a hero, I know it is a lie.
This demagogy that lives within you.
And when I say need, I mean it, mind you, under the
promises of a crime-free Midtown, but with every villain
trapped, more villains are born, just out of that toxicity
emanating from you.
With your "powers" there should be no need for me to
intervene, but if it were not for me this whole time, holding
your bar, you would have been lost a long time.
And it was for the same reason that you are a fake hero
that I was a lying heroine to your children, my brother. I
refused to believe that you, the person I was inspired by my
whole life, how come the same man could murder his wife
cowardly, mutilate her and hide her in the woods, she was
cheating on you, but that is no justification at all. You killed
two people John!
When you found her body and I saw it on the television,
I had to check the health of your children, where are they?
_Who are you talking to, Ellie? With John or with
Captain Justice? Only one of us can answer that. And it's not
me. Only John knows where they are.
One of the cops next to his sister who was pleading for
him whispers in his ear.
 _You bitch! You're going to claim insanity for your
brother, ain’t that right you cunt!? Know this, I know a lot of
people and ....
_If I were you, Officer, I'd be silent from now on, I want
to find my nephews as much as you._
He already admitted having killed her now, the focus of
the prosecution, mine, the judge, you, his friends ... everyone!
It is to find these children, wherever they are, whether alive or
dead. _The last sentence breaks the fortress that is Ellie and
she cries.
_ Do not worry! Citizen! _ John Smith shouts. _ Captain
Justice is here for ... _
_Cut the acting you mother fucker!_ Shout the cop while
his partner holds him and removes from the interrogation
room. There remained only the old psychologist, Ellie and
John Smith, and another policeman who had arrested him in
his office.
_Girl! I had an idea, could you accompany me out? _
The nice, yet terrified old-age psychologist with a Jamaican
accent and dreadlocks, whispers with his warm voice in Ellie's
ear.

The rescue.

The Gigantor still evaporated as the mysterious girl

disappeared into the horizon from which she had come, flying
as swiftly as the light itself.
 Completely impotent heroes can only help those who are
still in danger and go one by one scattering, mingling the
crowd.
The rain begins to fall with great intensity. And then
Captain Justice goes after the villains he left with the cops, to
get more information about why the three had attacked the city
together.
Without delay, he, still listening to Dr. Toxicological's
laughter, he flies to the villain without blinking.
And requesting the police car to stop, the imposing hero
approaches law enforcement officers.
_ What day, gentlemen ?! First these thugs after this
damn rain, glad that you are always here, giving the best
possible assistance against those who want the evil of our
city._And both cops with a big smile on their face answer him.
_What Captain Justice. You're the real hero here. But
what can we do to help you?
_I need to have a word with these malefactors
gentlemen. Do not worry I will not hurt them are just a few
questions._
_All right Captain ..._ One of the cops answers.
The magnificent cloaked hero, the anchorage of truth in
Midtown, holds Dr. Toxicologically away from him
momentarily.
_TELL ME MAN !! Why did you do that? How could
he do so much damage to the city? What were your goals?
You'll end up in jail, that's for sure, but maybe I can lower your
sentence if you cooperate._
 _Cooperate with what? There is nothing to be done! All
the decisions have been made, you have no control over this
situation Captain Justice._
_ Two of my friends were killed because of this
senseless attack on you! It even seems like you all came
together and allied themselves to cause some level of
destruction in Midtown, thinking that I could not stop them,
but justice never fails.
Do not want to force me to break it today, I'm very
angry.
_Ok captain if that's what you want to know. The three
of us did this, not to destroy the city, or any other secondary
objectives, our goal was to defeat you, because this city
without you, would be a paradise for the villains, the peace that
the great Captain Justice brought will be in vain, once you were
defeated by us, and we were almost successful, if you were not
so powerful.
That's why we allied, to equate you, damn time you were
hit by that meteor in the forest._
_How do you know that?_ Asks Captain Justice.
_Your children told me, actually the children of your
secret identity told me while I tied them in a dark, lead-lined
room so you would not see them with your super eyes.
I think, it is better for you to make your move to free me
from jail, or they will die and it will be your fault! _ And with
a deep laugh, Dr. Toxicological again shows his maleficence._
Captain Justice loses control and throws his enemy to
the ground, cracking it in the process and momentarily pushing
away the raindrops.
 They soon return to the bottom of the small crater and a
lightning strikes far from there, and a "Light of Righteousness"
begins to be concentrated again, almost burning on the villain
who bleeds from the mouth but smiles profusely.
_Tell me where they are! Or you die here! _ Threatens
the hero.
_WOW how dismal !! Let's go then! You can shoot me
if you wanted to! _
_Don't dare play with me man, I am Justice, I, you will
hear me and tell me where the children of John Smith are._
They exchanged glances for a few seconds, and the
water that fell from the sky evaporated rapidly, for the Light
of Righteousness was already complete, but in the end he did
not have the courage to shoot and kill his enemy, his
convictions in justice were far greater than mere revenge.
_I knew you didn’t have the guts! You coward! Finally
I’ve beat you! _ The villain comments.
_You may have gained from him, but not from me!_ As
a young girl with purple hair approaches, walking with both of
them while she herself possesses a Light of Righteousness.
And if you think I'm going to shoot you in the head,
you're wrong I'm going to mutilate you before you gather such
information, you're already dead boy, just decide whether to
suffer or not._
_He would never let you do this! As he points to Captain
Justice.
_ Unknown heroine, could you hold this evildoer while
I look for a policeman to put him behind bars? _
_What? What? No ... you ........... you can not do it! _
Panic sets in the heart of the villain. If the Captain really left,
there was a good chance the woman would kill him. Without
knowing what to do he starts bargaining.
_But woman! You can not kill me, you would also kill
two innocent children and ...
_A small price to pay for a world where you do not have
to kidnap and kill more children_
_But I did not even kill them yet!_ The villain reports
with tears in his eyes.
_And? If you are brought to justice in this corrupt city,
you will plead insanity and will be free soon, I would rather
kill you Dr. Toxicological!
And she steps on his face as Captain Justice walks away,
and the greater Light of Righteousness this time leaves the
flesh of the man's face, bubbling, and he screams in pain, but
not a physical pain, something that would reverberate in his
soul and in a brief lapse of lucidity the villain shouts:
_The old house! HIS OLD HOUSE! _ Confesses the
terrified Dr. Toxicological .
_The country house? John's old house was destroyed in
a fire !! _ Ellie asks his brother.
_But not the basement_ the disturbed man answers.
The rain ceases immediately, and wiping away the tears,
John Smith wipes them away even with his handcuffed hands.
An alarm rang out among the police station accompanying all
the insanity of John Smith's interrogation.
All the police cars were designated to the place, along
with ambulances and fire car, the vehicles went ahead closing
the intersections followed by the ambulances and the fire
trucks.
 It had been several days since his ex's body had been
found, decapitated, without her hands and feet, beside her
lover, also brutally murdered. John had been arrested and taken
to the police station. The children had been missing since then,
and little was known about the conditions in which they were
left.
Only Ellie led them to the house in the mountains.
Now the "accidental" fire of the house that would remain
for his ex-wife in case of divorce, made more sense to Ellie.
His brother knew how to make it look like an accident and get
insurance.
Leaving the urban perimeter the ambulance cars and
now helicopters all headed home without deviance, there
coming only several scorched logs scattered all around, until a
fireman followed the footprints in the ashes, leading to a bunch
of twisted metals and more some woods, and just below a
padlocked door.
He calls for an axe and with only one blow splits the
wood and padlock together, attaches a flashlight and enters the
basement of the house with an extra oxygen mask. Even in the
dark he finds the pink, glittery little dress of a little girl, Betty
Smith.
Coughing in abundance soon the fireman puts the mask
of oxygen on her, very weak with thirst and hunger he calls for
help, he needed to find the boy in that darkness.
She had only a flashlight with exhausted batteries and
some little comic books from "Chronicles of Midtown # 37 -
Captain Justice's First Appearance" a few empty packets of
biscuit kept her company.
 When the firefighter leaves, he looks at the little girl who
points with her tiny little fingers to a dark corner of the
basement, and there was the boy, still. He tells his partner and
asks them to call a paramedic too.
John's daughter is immediately put in an ambulance
where she receives the necessary emergency care.
Moments later the paramedic rushes out of the basement
with the boy on his lap, gently puts him on the floor and tries
to resuscitate him, but his skin was already bluish, he has died
of hunger and was protecting his little sister, she had received
from his older brother, all the stock of food of both in order
that at least one of them survived.
A hero, a little hero who did what few would have the
courage to do, really sacrifice himself for the sake of the ones
he love.
