Wonder Woman rushes the Surfer, who doesn't even move as she closes the gap at lightning speed. I've seen what she can do, the fact that the Surfer merely looks at her with a detached, dispassionate gaze chills me to the core. I know this guy isn't human, but is he even alive? Is he a person? Or is he some construct sent by this Darkseid to take stock of our world like a drone with consciousness. I've seen The Day the Earth Stood Still. These kind of guys are nothing to mess with. If we don't stop him, no one will.
The other hero leaps at the extraterrestrial invader, and I can already see the gambit isn't going to work. Almost like everyone else is moving in slow motion, the Silver Surfer moves out of the way and drives his palm into Wonder Woman's chest, sending her flying back towards me. I fire a few weblines behind me as I get out of the way, creating a net that catches Wonder Woman, ensuring a soft landing.
"Okay, Metal Mario," I crack my knuckles and roll my neck, "that was rude. Time to teach you some manners."
He readies himself for an attack, but instead I just start firing shots of webbing his way. A few strike home, and he looks up at me, confusion and annoyance in his face.
"Ah, so you do have emotions," I smile under the mask. "That's the look most people give me. No one understands me."
"INSECT. YOU MOCK HIS HERALD!? YOU MOCK THE CHANCE TO SERVE THE ONE TRUE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE!?"
"He-Man?" I ask with fake excitement in my voice.
That does it. The Surfer has had enough with me, and charges me. He throws powerful punch after powerful punch my way. Spider sense keeps me from getting clobbered by them, but barely. Still, I managed to piss the Surfer off enough for him to come after me. That's what I wanted. Get him off his game. If I can keep his attention on me, and keep from getting killed in the process, maybe Wonder Woman can get some hits in.
After I dodge one of the strikes, I manage to web his hand to the ground as I flip over it. As I land, I wind up and deliver a punch to his chin. His head wobbles a bit, but I feel like I just broke every bone in my hand.
"Son of a bitch!" I shake my hand out as the Surfer frees himself and grabs me by the throat.
"ENOUGH GAMES. WHAT MY MASTER SEES IN YOU, I DO NOT KNOW. BUT IF YOU WILL NOT SERVE DARKSEID, YOU WILL DIE FOR DARKSEID!"
