Justice Lad sat down on top of the remains of the giant machine and rested. He was exhausted from the fight in more ways then one but he had won and defeated another giant machine. Freedom Eagle landed next to him. "Hey there kiddo. You did great."
"Yes, thanks sir. But you're the real hero. I couldn't have saved the city if you hadn't shown up."
"I just blocked the energy blast and tore off the cannon's. You did all the work."
"Well...yeah...I guess so. Thanks for that though sir."
"You're welcome." Freedom Eagle said.
"So, um, if I may ask, where were you?"
"Long story short, I was punching an Eldritch Abomination in the face." he paused. "Or whatever counted as a face for that thing."
"An eldritch?"
"Nasty, horrendous things from outside the Universe. They are abominations Justice Lad and are not something you should ever want to fight." Freedom Eagle summed up.
"Woah..."
"Yeah." He ruffled his student's hair. "But never mind that, great job in the fight."
Justice Lad laughed. "So what are we going to do about him?"
"I'll take him to The Pin and dismantle the robot."
"What's The Pin?"
"It's where we take the really bad guys. I don't see him breaking out of there. Afterwords we'll figure out just how and where he built this and ensure he can never do it again."
"Wow, it sounds really impressive."
"Oh it is. I'll take you to visit when you're older. Trust me when I say that it's no place for a child. Even a super one like yourself."
Justice Lad nodded. "So, um, can I go home then?"
"Sure thing and you can take tomorrow off from training too. You've earned it."
"Thanks!" Justice Lad said as the two high fived and then Justice Lad flew away.
Freedom Eagle watched him leave. "That kid, he's incredible. Fighting giant robots at his age. I can't imagine how powerful he'll be when he grows up." He stood up and flew around the giant robot at super speed, dismantling it in seconds and he then grabbed the Pilot and flew him away to the Pin Prison.
Justice Lad arrived back home and took off his mask as he walked in the door.
His parents ran up and hugged him when they saw his torn costume and the bruises on his body. "Oh my son!"
"Son, what happened? We heard explosions and earthquakes!"
Seraph hugged them both close for a few moments. "Oh man. Today was crazy."
The family sat down to talk about it.
------------
"Another giant robot?!" Seraphina asked, shocked.
"Yeah and this one was even bigger and stronger then the last."
"Incredible. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you to face such a monster on your own." Heman said.
"Tiring. I am taking a couple days off to rest after this battle."
His parents nodded noddd with understanding. "We're just happy you're okay son." His father said.
"Don't worry, I always will be."
The two talked for awhile more before Seraph headed off to take a nice long hot bath and then have a nice long sleep.
His parents arranged for the costume to be delivered to an extremely expensive tailor to be repaired.
After bathing and drying off, Seraph put on his pajamas's and got into bed. He soon fell asleep, tired from the day's battle.
