Chapter 22
Based on a prompt.
New Gotham is a place who has the most affordable reside ces one can imagine and is in a good quality too. Of course, ot has some handcaps such as supervillains going around and kidnapping you for ransom or to lure some hero or maybe, and can't strees enough how bad this option is, to flirt with civilians.
"Darling, I always watched your show. A big fan" the man is dressed as a scarecrow but in a punk style. Kitty Pryde, the famous comedian, is being held hostage along with 20 people.
Can Kitty kick his ass?
Absolutely
Can she do this and still remain with a secret id?
No way in hell.
Therefore, Kitty has to play coy. "Wearing something like that...you better be" is a veiled insult but is hide so well in layers to the point the villain didn't register. "So you want an autograph or something?"
How do I get out of here?
Kurt Ryder is a famous reporter. He is know for seeking the truth in the most blunt way possible. However, the man has a few secrets in his sleeve. When he goes to Kitty's studio and sees the situation at hand, well, it is a call for Nightcreeper.
Kurt Ryder will save Miss Kitty Pryde and have fun with the poor villain.
"Are you single?" The villain asked with hopeful eyes. Kitty sighs and mentally wonders if the universe sees New Gotham as a bottom of a joke or not.
"At the moment? Well, can't say I'm alone...there me, my staff and you holding us hostage" Kitty's tone has that fake cheerful tone. "And soon will it will be more"
"Huh?" The villain asked confused but had no time to say anything as blur of green catches him and laughs like a madman.
"Say hi to Nightcreeeper"
Nightcreeper is saying hello ...in his own insane way.
The police arrives and takes the villain away. Kitty sees Nightcreeper is long gone and doesn't bother to act surprised when Kurt Ryder shows up some time later. "Did I miss anything?"
"Nightcreeper saved us all...and another crazy fan shows up"
"So I didn't miss much"
Kitty rolls her eyes.
