Captain Justice Stories

Issue 1 Chapter 5
Aftermath

The swat team, police and an ambulance arrived soon after the fact and took everyone to a hospital. Seraph was already healing by the time he arrived at the hospital but the process was slow. A doctor tried to put a needle in him but it broke against his skin. His parents otoh had mild concussions on top of their other injuries, so they would need to stay at the hospital for awhile.
Seraph sat by his parent's beds. "This is all my fault. I never should have gone out to fight. I should have just did what they told me to do."
 Bob, a butler to the Dragonhowl's and one who had been fortunate enough to only get mild injuries from the explosion, put his hand on Seraph's shoulder. "Master Seraph, if I may, you did save the entire city. We all knew the risk when we came out to help you. If your parents were awake right now, I know they would be proud of you." Seraph turned and looked at him. "B-but....Bob....." He grabbed onto his butler and sobbed. Bob held the young man close to him as Cyrille, a maid to the Dragonhowl's walked in. She saw the distress on Seraph's face and tried to improve his mood. "Don't worry young master. I'm sure that they'll recover. Paradise City is famous for it's medical technology. They will fix your parents in no time." Seraph looked up at her. "R-really? They can fix everyone?" "Yes, young master, everything will be fine." Seraph smiled happily. "You hear that mom and dad? You're gonna be just fine!" He exclaimed. "The doctor's are going to fix you up and you'll be all better."
A doctor came in. "Alright, you're all free to leave. We'll contact you if there's any change."

Bob and Cyrille nodded. "Come along young master. Let's go home."
"Right!" Seraph said and followed them out. "I'll be back tomorrow mom and dad!"

Upon exiting the hospital, they found a massive crowd there. All cheering for the boy who had saved the city. "Justice Lad! Justice Lad! Justice Lad" They all cheered for and thanked him. He waved shyly to everyone.

The three headed home while the doctor's worked to heal everyone.

Arriving home, Seraph looked around. "It seems so empty...."

"I'm sure that it will be filled up again soon. Is there anything you would like master Seraph?" Bob asked.

"I-I want to go lie down." He said.

Cyrill followed Seraph to his room and tucked him into bed. He quickly fell asleep.

The maid and butler sat in the living room in silence. "Poor child. He fought so hard......he should be celebrating right now. Instead...he comes home to an empty house." Cyrill said solemly. "It's not fair."

"This is the risk we took going out there to save him." Bob said. "The life of a superhero isn't always glamorous after all. There are risks."

"I know......I know....but...." Cyrill hugged Bob.

"There there dear. You'll see, everything will be fine."


Elsewhere.....

Bellatrix Lugosi Insidious was lying on her bed, flipping through channels on the tv as she thought about what to do for her science project. All of the other children would be doing volcanoes, or planets or animals. A few would be doing something about atoms/molecules/energy. She wanted to do something big. Something that would blow everyone away. She had settled on a robot, but she couldn't settle on just what she wanted to do with said robot or even what she wanted to do with it or how it should look. She got her answer when she caught a news report about a child hero fighting it out with a giant mecha. Bellatrix sat up straight and looked at the footage. She smiled. The remnants of the robot suit were going to be taken to the Paradise City police station. An easy in. Bellatrix turned off the tv, got up off the bed and walked to her desk. Opening up a notebook, she began writing down her plans to get in and out of the police station with the suit. It was trashed, sure, but that didn't mean she couldn't fix and improve it.
