Fear descended on Brooklyn in a flash: Bursts of plasma screamed through the air, finding their mark in the sides of buildings, cars and people. A cabbie dragged his wounded passenger from the backseat, yelling for medical help. On the sidewalk, a crowd stumbled over a fallen old woman in their mad dash to escape. Alien foot soldiers advanced down the street, massacring everything that moved for reasons no one cared to ask. Two police officers pulled themselves from their overturned squad car, one of them unholstering her sidearm to return fire while the other crawled behind cover, pleading for help into his radio. Far above it all, a gargantuan creature rammed through the top floor of an apartment building. Debris and bodies rained down on the streets below.

A streak of red and blue appeared in the sky. It looped through the clouds once, twice, and a third time to build up speed before rocketing down into the leviathan's back. A thunderclap followed that shattered every window in the neighborhood. The beast's armor buckled.  Its flesh tore, blood spouting out in thick gushes. It gave a deafening roar as it careened into the ground, tearing a trench through the concrete and asphalt for a hundred feet until it came to a slow stop.

Superboy stood atop the alien behemoth's head, a triumphant fist in the air. A trio of camera drones circled him. [color=lightblue]"Booyah, baby! That's what happens when ya mess with the S!"[/color]

Chitauri spun on their heels and answered his boasting with a unified warcry. They opened fire. A barrage of plasma scorched the spot Superboy had just been standing.

[color=lightblue]"You bozos picked the wrong planet-"[/color]

The Boy of Steel appeared again with his hands thrust through the chests of two aliens. He ripped them apart in one, fluid motion, tossing their remains aside like used trash. A burst of speed carried him into another squad. They fired wildly into their own ranks in an effort to stop their superhuman attacker, but all their plasma seared was each other. Superboy was a blur of barely contained violence. He showed none of his usual 'restraint'- he had no qualms killing these things.

[color=lightblue]"-And the wrong day to piss me off."[/color] 

Behind him, the beast stirred. It'd taken a hell of a hit yet breath still pumped through its augmented lungs. With a beat of its many mechanical appendages the leviathan tore itself from the crater, depositing another contingent of invaders from its womb as it took back to the air on unsteady wings.

Another salvo tore into Superboy. Flesh-bubbling heat slammed into him, slagging the last of the Chitauri he'd been in melee with. A pained snarl slipped between gritted teeth as he jumped backwards, putting a few hundred feet between himself and the enemy. He looked down to check himself for injuries. Nothing permanent, save for the holes in his tights and jacket. [color=lightblue]"Bastards. I loved that jacket,"[/color] he muttered, tossing its charred remains aside. There'd be hell to pay for that-

A scream averted his attention away from the Chitauri and toward a nearby burning building. He could hear eighteen people still alive inside. No obvious exit. Nearest firefighters were twelve minutes away under the best of circumstances. Superboy looked back over his shoulder at the aliens, balling his fist.

[color=lightblue]"Damn it all."[/color] He groaned, taking flight toward the fire.
