'-so look at me Ma! I'm gonna kill a god!' 

The Wrecker waved his magical crowbar in the direction of the film crews as he shouted. A perimeter had been cleared away from the action but all bystanders were close enough to see that the Wrecking Crew had Thor on the ropes. Reporters spoke hurriedly into microphones as they commentated upon the events unfolding.

[i]'-and Thor is down, I repeat-'[/i]

[i]'-Wrecking Crew led by Dirk Garthwaite, also known as the Wrecker-'[/i]

[i]'-Channel 52 bringing you live coverage-'[/i]

Thor lay atop the rubble of Star City's bank, the original target of the Wrecking Crew before the Thunder God had shown up. The Wrecking Crew had taken hostages and were in the process of emptying the bank's vault when Thor had swooped in. The bank staff had hurriedly evacuated the premises while the battle raged and were currently outside the perimeter giving their accounts of what had occurred to the authorities.

Thor had fought the Wrecking Crew many times since the criminals had been given their supernatural abilities from the Enchantress. Dirk Garthwaite was the Wrecker and, with his enchanted crowbar granting him superhuman strength, had caused pandemonium until Thor had intervened. Brian Calusky also known as Piledriver, had been transformed physically with oversized hands and strength to match his inflated ego. Eliot Franklin, Thunderball, was the tragic figure of the band; he'd been a doctor until his brash attempts to study Asgardian artefacts had brought the attention of the Enchantress. He had not been transformed but merely bequeathed a wrecking ball which, like the Wrecker's crowbar, was enchanted. The last of the gang was Henry Camp, former drill sergeant, who now went by the moniker 'Bulldozer'; the Enchantress had given the military man impervious skin and enhanced strength.
The Wrecking Crew had been created to overpower Thor and, whether a result of this or just pure coincidence, had encountered the Asgardian enough that neither side spared a thought to causing grievous injury. They were old enemies and so neither side gave quarter. 

Thor rose to his feet and reached out for Mjolnir; his mighty hammer flew to his outstretched hand even as Thunderball swung his wrecking ball directly for the Thunder God. Leaping over the incoming blow, Thor brought his hammer down hard atop the former doctor's skull. Uru impacted bone with a sickening crunch and Thunderball fell to the floor like a ragdoll.

'Frankie!' Piledriver's voice was anguished, he stared from his fallen team-mate to their enemy and snarled, 'you'll pay for that!'

Thor wiped a trail of blood from his cheek and grinned. [color=FFA500][b]'When you attack a God you must expect to fall, little man.'[/b][/color]

The Wrecker raised his crowbar and called to his fellow criminals, 'We'll take 'im together, 'e can't get us all.' Grimacing, the crook spat a tooth out onto the rubble of the bank and smiled toothily. 'We pull this off, no one'll dare mess with the Wrecking Crew!'

[color=FFA500][b]'Have at it then!'[/b][/color] Without waiting for another retort Thor called upon the elements, lightning struck down upon the battlefield, narrowly missing Piledriver but striking Bulldozer head on. The so-called invulnerable man fell to one knee and visibly shook before slowly rising. His breathing grew heavy like a bull before the criminal charged at Thor. Thor readied his hammer and, with a blow, sent Bulldozer flying back into Piledriver. The two men collided and hit the floor hard. Thor laughed and prepared to call a bolt of lightning once again when the Wrecker's crowbar hit him square in the jaw. 

Not expecting the blow, Thor stumbled back as the Wrecker rained blow after blow upon his chest, his shoulders and face. Wildly Thor struck out with his hammer, a clumsy blow that the Wrecker easily avoided. By now the other two conscious members of the Wrecking Crew had arisen and joined their boss in beating down the Thunder God. 

The Wrecker was just beginning to get into the swing of things when he found his latest swing suddenly halted. Thor had grasped onto the Wrecker's crowbar. The other two criminals halted their assault momentarily in surprise. That was all Thor needed. 
With his free hand, he swung Mjolnir in a clearing arc. The Wrecking Crew were knocked back; immediately Thor was on them, the force of his blows knocking his foes back and to the floor until they were too far away for him to quickly beat them all. 

Once more Thor summoned lightning. 

The storm that erupted over Star City would have been unheard of if similar phenomena hadn't been recorded all over America since Thor's first appearance. The lightning strikes were incredibly localised and no citizen was injured. The Wrecking Crew on the other hand, after their arrest, were treated for severe burns and electronic overload. A medical expert stated categorically that, if the felons weren't all to some degree blessed with heightened endurance, none of them would have survived their encounter with Thor.

Thor, of course, neither acknowledged or cared about the beating he had given his foes. He rose into the air, cape swaying in the breeze, and greeted the crowd. 
[color=FFA500][b]'Worry not, good folk of Midgard!'[/b][/color] He raised an arm and called an end to the storm, this display of power was greeted with cheers and applause. [color=FFA500][b]'You will always be safe while under the protection of the Mighty Thor![/b][/color]

Descending to the floor Thor found himself surrounded by citizens of Star City. Their cries, cheers and statements of gratitude were like honey to the Prince of Asgard. He walked among them for several contented minutes before he acknowledged a signal from his Justice League communicator. [color=FFA500][b]'I must leave you now,'[/b][/color] He called into the crowd, immediately their shouts grew saddedned, [color=FFA500][b]'Worry not my friends, I go to render aid to the mighty brotherhood of heroes, the Justice League! But should you ever need me, Thor will be there!'[/b][/color]

With that, Thor rose into the air and flew from Star City at breakneck speeds. He allowed himself a moment to enjoy the sensation of soaring above Midgard, the sun on his face and the wind beneath him, before checking his communicator.

[i]'This is Captain Marvel to Justice League; looks like this protest is turning into a riot, feel free to you know... help-'[/i]*

Chuckling to himself, the Thunder God ended the transmission and altered his trajectory so he would be flying towards Coast City, the names of these settlements of Midgard always stuck in his mouth a little. At this speed he was minutes away.
