The Slime (Comic 8)
After a few weeks of training with Lily, even with Jackson tagging along, not only were the three of them getting the quality time of hanging out like they used to in college, but also Dirk was starting to get pretty skilled. After they had a day of training, both Jackson and Dirk went into the men's locker room as Lily went into the women’s locker room to shower and go home for the day.
“Dude, I cant believe that this is happening, my best friend is a damn superhero!” Jackson said loudly. Thankfully no one was in there at the time, being they were there past hours. As they started to undress and walk into the showers, Dirk could only think one thing. Is he getting strong enough to be able to hold his own in a fight? Will he be able to get out alive, if the other person had a gun and shot at him? He barely even practiced with the new power he realized he had at the diner. Dirk snapped out of memory lane of Jackson whistling and singing in the shower a few stalls down. As they had gotten done showering and got dressed and met Lily out front for a farewell and see you the next night, Dirk got into his car and was driving home when he saw a woman being cornered by two men, about to be robbed down an alleyway between a Laundromat and an Ice cream shop. However with Cars zipping past, and the noise of the city, no one could make out her screaming and crying out for help. Dirk quickly pulled into a parking spot of the Ice Cream shop and found his lucky bandana in his duffle bag. The bandana had special sentiment to him, as it was passed down from father to son in his family for five generations. He put the bandana over his mouth as a disguise and ran to help the woman. She was screaming about her stuff being dug through as the men now managed to get her purse from her. Dirk looked at him and the woman and thought, here we go, my first crime fight.
“Hey! Does that belong to you!?” Dirk had yelled at the men. The men turned around and laughed when they saw how Dirk looked
“Look at this fool, thinking he is so tough!” The men got their guns out, and Dirk was thinking he wish he could punch them from where he was, only moments after wishing a thinking that, his right arm, started to glow green and started to encase in slime, his arm shot out across the alley and punched the men from twenty feet away. Dirk looked as shocked as the men when he realized what just happened, meanwhile the woman was screaming even more now from the sight of what Dirk just did. The guys looking more mad now, grabbed their guns and shot at Dirk, both right in the chest. However his reflexes kicked in and the slime shielded the bullets from hitting him. Dirk ran towards the men, dodging in between their bullets, not getting hit. Dirk now close to them, Dirk jumps onto his hands with his feet in the air, and kicks both of their heads. He then proceeds to jump back onto his feet and knocks the both out with a huge fist full of slime, covering them in goo. With the men knocked out, Dirk grabs the woman’s stuff the men had started to grab and hands them back to her, his glowing go back to normal now, and the slime wearing off of him. His clothes soaked with slime. He looks at the woman and tells her to go to the police and report these men. The woman looking scared manages to sputter out the words thank you and shake her head yes before she runs off. Dirk looks around and finds a chain on the ground in a pile of junk and wraps it around the men. As he wraps it around the men, he heads back to his vehicle and gets in, calling the Ice cream shop.
“Sweet, Sweet Treats Galore, how can I help you, this is Robbie speaking?”
“Hello, I just want to say there were two men robbing a woman in your alleyway a few minutes ago, I got them subdued in the alley, please call the police.” Dirk quickly put his car into gear and drove out of there, as he hung up on the man before and questions were asked. As Dirk had gotten home and Janice had greeted him with a hug and a kiss and had noticed his arm was covered in a goop, the slime he had his arm transformed into a giant fist as well as his arm stretching far. Another new power he has yet to learn and use for battles.
“Honey, did you have a fight today without your suit? You need to keep yourself disguised, someone will recognize you!” Dirk calmed her down and hugged her, then crouching down and kissing her now bulging stomach from the baby. He had told her about using the bandana and how he was there and home as fast as he could, so no one could recognize his car either.
“Well, you’re lucky I just finished the suit today. She walks over to the closet, and hanging in a fancy suit bag was the suit waiting to be opened by its user. Dirk walks open and unzips the zipper. He looks at the mask she had made. It was a nice big eye mask to cover over his eyes as well as a mask to go over his head, leaving only his nose and eyes exposed. Which makes sense to him for the mask that goes over his eyes. Then looking down further at the suit, it was a very sharp and stylish spandex suit, nice and breathable for him to move around in. It was black and a very vibrant Green on the sides of the suit and down the arms and legs. In the middle of the chest area was the same vibrant green colors, but a symbol showing a splatter of slime. His new hero symbol. He will now call himself, The Slime.
