Adventure 25

Who: Arthur, Calvin, Helene, and some Blood Keys
What: Aquaman and Superman versus gang members Arthur wants to get Granny Curry's things back. Calvin doesn't think he should go alone.
Where: The docks.
When: Evening of January 27.
Warnings: SUPERHEROIC CRIMEFIGHTING and lots and lots of guns because this is how gang members deal with loudmouths who call them out.



It had seemed simple enough to Arthur. Call out the ruffians who had accosted poor Granny Curry and demand that they return her stolen items at once, thus ensuring that justice of some sort was done. But no one seemed to think he should go alone, and so Calvin had agreed to come along with him. Because, really, what could go wrong when going to confront a hostile gang over things they stole?

But Arthur wasn't completely stupid over the whole thing. He'd talked them into allowing him to select the meeting place. It wasn't at all hard for him to decide on something. He knew they'd want somewhere quiet and isolated, and so he gave them just that: the docks. Of course, it was quiet and isolated over a large body of water where he'd have a number of unexpected advantages, but the Blood Keys didn't need to know that.

Those are a lot of reinforcements, but more and more are taking it as their cue to get the hell out of here. (One or two think it might be smart to jump in to the water. Darwin would simply nod in confirmation of his theories.) All in all, though, the place is emptying out.

Fast.

There's something to be said about leaving with your tails tucked between your legs, isn't there? It's certainly a rout if nothing else. Even if Calvin has found a new friend- a sputtering, shrieking young lady (the one who'd yelled about Orotheans, in fact) trying to push both him and the crabs off her.
