MetropolisBlake Family ResidenceDonald was glued to the living room television screen hoping to see a report of his airplane save and find out more about what happened behind the scenes, but instead all the news cared about were the Luthors. He didn't know Lex or Lionel personally, but they were way too clean for his liking. He's known criminals and the operations they ran for a few years now and one thing remained a constant. While the outside of the bowl was clean the inside was dirty and filled with filth. For Lionel in particular there was no surprise that criminal filings were being drafted against him. Even if Lex would deny it publicly the fact that a reporter from the Planet asked him this showed that there was some substance to the claims. Where there was smoke there was fire. Thor would know. He's had to put out plenty of fires.
Donald was going to turn the TV off but stopped once Lex started talking about the Sentinel-One program.
"Hello, Lex!" He yelled at the TV.
"I'm proof that we can guarantee that a good man will gain abilities that prove a boon to his fellow man. Ask Bibbo! Sure, there'll be some bad or selfish people who gain powers, but there'll always be people who stand up for what's right. And with how corrupt law enforcement tends to already be with the power they already have what makes you think giving them more power would be a good thing? And control? Alright, I'm heading down there."Donald stood up, ready to fly down and give Lex Luthor the debate of his life, but the sound of a new reporter's voice caught his attention. He turned back to the TV and sat down to hear what she had to say. He laughed with the crowd at Miss Lane's remark about him being interviewed by Smallville High's rag.
"If I knew Met U had women like her I would've gone." He listened as Lex gave a solid response. The guy always knew what to say, but he stopped caring about what he was talking about when he mentioned him, even if it was in an antagonistic way. He was acknowledged as a hero on national television and by one of the world's most influential people. He made it big time! He jumped up from the couch and yelled,
"Mom, dad! I was mentioned on TV in front of reporters from all over!"Maria Blake entered the room with a smile,
"That's great, swee---." She said before she was interrupted by her son lifting her up and spinning her around.
"Donald Marvelous Blake, put me down."Donald did as she requested and rubbed his back in embarrassment.
"Sorry, mom. I got excited. Thor's making it big time."Oliver entered the room as he said that.
"That's great and all, but I still wish you had gone to college. Being a superhero doesn't pay bills or get you a decent cover job. I still can't believe you turned down your football scholarship to MET U.""Come on, dad. You know why I turned it down. It wouldn't have been fair to the other players or other teams. High School didn't matter because there were no real stakes, but D1 makes or breaks careers.""You still could've gone without playing. You had the grades.""Okay, you're right. I can always go later." Donald relented.
"Until later comes, I want you to get a job. You're twenty-years old in Metropolis. You have to do something. What about construction or demolition work? Put that strength of yours to good use.""Seriously?"
Demolition Site"Hey newbie! Come meet the crew!" A muscular man with short blonde hair called out to Donald Blake.
Donald was currently smashing away at a wall with a sledgehammer. He had his long and luscious locks tied up in a ponytail with a hard hat covering most of it. He didn't want to risk getting caught up in any machinery or getting too much dust in his hair. He heard someone call out to him over the sound of the collapsing wall and placed the sledgehammer down before wiping the sweat that wasn't there from his brow before turning around to find the voice.
"Over here!" The man called out again, showing Donald where he was.
Donald walked over to the assembled quartet and reached his hand out to shake the hand of the man who had been calling him.
"I'm Donald. I'm looking forward to working with you guys."The short haired blonde took his hand and shook it.
"Same, kid. You're putting in work over there. The name's Dirk and this motley crew is Brian, Henry, and our resident genius Doc Elliot.""No offense, but what's a genius doing out here?"Elliot laughed.
"I ask myself that question everyday. But research ain't cheap and people tend to be scared of gamma radiation after Dr. Banner was said to be killed by his own project.""It sounds like you don't believe he was.""Not my rival. Not with my theories."Dirk interjected.
"Please don't get him started on his theories. We were about to take lunch if you want to join us.""Sur---."Before Donald could fully agree he was interrupted by the sound of screams followed by what sounded like a large beam being emitted before hitting a building. The same building they were working to demolish. Donald turned to see the building crashing down on top of them and before the others could react he moved fast enough to push them away, but he underestimated just how far he had to push them because he didn't want to risk hurting them in the process. They fell down in a pile but were still in the path of destruction. He rushed over to them and hovered over them to take the full force of the collapsing building.
Once the smoke cleared Donald saw them under some rubble and could still hear them breathing underneath. Thank God they were alive. He pulled some of the debris off of them and saw a crowbar sticking out. Dirk must've used it to prevent them from being crushed. Donald reached out for the crowbar, but the moment he touched it he was struck by the same kind of beam that destroyed the building. The shock and force from the beam caused him to discharge electricity that surged through the crowbar and into the men connected to it before sending him flying away with a tattered shirt.
Donald recovered quickly and took off the remains of his shirt and his hard hat before removing his hair-tie.
"That's it. You targeted the wrong demolition site. You've brought upon yourself the WRATH OF THOR!" He yelled as he waited for whatever was shooting these beams at him to come out of the smoke, but he was not expecting the large hulking metallic beast that was approaching him.
"What or who the hell are you?"
