A Danger Comes to New York!

Gabe watched with some amusement as Dan went for the lights in a dramatic flourish. Nope he confirmed to himself as Dan flicked the switch up to no effect. Sorry, not gonna work. The man flicked the switch a few more times before giving up and producing a flashlight. Wrong again Gabe thought with a slight chuckle as Dan fumbled with the useless flashlight. Yea right? Pretty frustrating he commiserated in silence. He’d gone through a much more prolonged version of this when he’s first discovered his abilities so it was somewhat cathartic to seem someone else struggle with the issue.

Wyatt let out a sigh, his arms dropping a bit. He was very extra. He was terrible at being extra even. Wyatt gave a look around, frowning up at the windows. At this point, he wouldn't mind at a battle, it might be good to knock some sense into this guy. If Rabbit Punch had taught him anything it was that sometimes the most heroic thing was to do something that didn't seem heroic at all.

It wasn't profound, but sometimes it was true. Though, it probably wasn't a good opener.

Looking back to the man Wyatt gave a casual wave, taking a few steps forward. "Yo,uh-listen. Do you need to talk or something?" He had given some villains talks before, try and get them to open up, but this...this was different. Usually, there was some tragic event that Wyatt could figure out and work through, with this he wasn't quite sure if this person had the usual troubled past that other villains had. "Maybe you didn't get enough attention growing up and you're just acting out for it? If that's the case, I've been there, man. I know what it's like. I'm open to talk if ya need someone-uh-to do so with."

He would try and close the distance as much as possible, though kept an eye on the man, making sure he wouldn't spring a knife or something. He would be ready to fly back if that was the case, otherwise, he'd try and do his best to get in close, maybe get a hand on his shoulder. This all just seemed like the actions of some punk kid, not a master criminal.

"Yeah? Maybe? We can at least talk, my man."

"Is there seriously only one of you here? But I kidnapped a famous news reporter. There should at least be 3 of you guys coming to save her. I know she isn't at the top of her game anymore but come on, all the other villains have done it. Would it of been taken more serious if I slapped her on TV?"

How could the heroes just ignore this? Surely they understood the basics of the cape dynamic. Villain captures girl, Heroes mount a rescue. Que epic banter and fight and the villain is back next week. How could they possibly think just 1 guy is enough? Dan did call them out after all.

"Regardless it looks like you are the only vigilant vigilante valorous enough to try to vanquish the villainous, vilified, most vile of villains that is DANGER DAN!. You will not be venerated for your vindication as I will be the victor and the world will vehemently fear my visage as I violently end you with my....violence."

Alliteration is a lot harder than anyone would suspect. Trying to think of the same type of words on the spot is far more of a hassle for many villains but those who perfect it as an art form get quoted a lot in the news. Hell, one villain spoke solely in word play and people are still writing books trying to figure out the double if not triple meanings of his word plays.
