Mistaken Identity
It happens to Mark every night. He just doesn't know it yet. He falls into a trance after he is done reading a chapter of a room. He gets up and walks to the shelf at the far side of his study and picks up the Helmet of Nabu.

Then he was no longer Mark Clearwater he was Dr Fate. He had a task to go attend to. He had felt the disturbance earlier this week but hadn't had time to take care of it.

Within minutes he was flying over a city in Louisiana that might be familiar to a certain family. Dr Fate make his rounds over the city finding magical traces all over the place. He puzzles over it as he hovers over a local restaurant several dozen feet in the air. While he is Doctor Fate he is still limited in some ways because his mind has not accepted this path yet so figuring out exactly what is going on is going to take some work for him.

	"Indeed gentlemen,": he tries not to glare when a few nervous chuckles come from the gang members. "It would be prudent for you to answer. If you don't..... He gets to have fun. He hasn't hit anything in a while." Doctor Fate gives Warhawk a curious look. "I think he wishes to do violence upon your skulls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Do violence upon your skulls? Who says that?

"Yeah, what he said. You don't talk...I get cranky." he says, making sure all three of the guys see the mace in his hands. They stop snickering at Fate and look back at him.

"I wanna know who iced the teenage girl and the man outside the restaurant the other night, boys. I'm gonna get that answer from one of you. The faster I get it, the more body parts you all might be able to use when we're done talking.

But my friend here can tell if you're lying. And if he says you're lying..." Warhawk trails off and indicates the smashed hood and engine.

"That'll seem like a slight headache compared to what I'll do to you." he says.

"We could also teleport you both a mile into the air and drop you," Doctor Fate says very slowly and meaningfully.

The gang members start to panic a little. "It was Little C. Ya gotta ice someone to join the gang now!"

"Yeah man. Johnny Kalvin was with him as his wingman, you. He was laughing 'bout some little white girl in a party dress," a tubby looking guy of an arguable lineage.

"They're laying low dude. They were all freaked out 'cause of the weird flying lizard-things eating people," the driver adds.

	Rex blinked as the men stared spilling their guts. He looked back at Fate, then at the men. Well, shit. It usually takes a mace-swing to get them this chatty. "Where are Little C and Johnny Kalvin now? Tell us, and we might forget we saw you here tonight. Operative word being might." Rex adds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Dude!" The tubby one is really freaking out. "I don't wanna get hit! I just healed up!"

The driver tries to calm him down. "Be cool
man! I got this."

He turns to the two heroes. "They're on West Oak. Little C got real shook up over that girl getting iced. Johnny has been keeping him out of the way of the rest of us until he gets his head on straight. Ya dig? They're in that old liquor store that got closed down about two months ago."

	"Just remember, if you're lying, we'll find you. And you'll wish you were Little C and Johnny." Rex growls. Then, he pushes himself upward from the car and off into the night, certain that Fate will follow, heading toward the old liquor store on West Oak. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fate follows behind Warhawk. He can feel Mark starting to stir in the back of his mind. This might not be good. "I may have a problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-04-02 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"What kind of problem we talking? Like you need to stop at the restroom? Or like you forgot your wallet in your other cape?" Rex asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2010-04-02 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"The new bearer is waking up. He may be conscious of what is going on soon. I request that we hurry. I do not want him to..... 'freak out' while we are dealing with the gang members," Fate says slowly as they get closer to West Oak. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-04-02 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"You gotta be kiddin' me." Rex grumbles. Still, he flies faster, streaking toward West Oak before throwing himself into a headlong dive aimed at the roof of the building, and swinging down with his hammer. The roof collapses inward and Rex lands inside the liquor store, mace ready to swing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Two men jump up from where they are sitting. A very short looking man grabs n empty bottle and flings it right at Warhawk's face. The other man pulls out a gun and aims it at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2010-04-02 02:40 am UTC (link)
	"I wouldn't. Not about this." He lands in the store next to Rex. He watches as the bottle goes flying towards Rex then deciding to do something about it he casts his hand forward and the bottle falls to the ground jut in front of Rex. "Good evening." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-04-02 02:43 am UTC (link)
	Rex sees the gunman aiming, and reacts with Thanagarian earned speed and reflexes. He brings his mace down on the man's gun-hand, shattering bone as though it were glass. "Don't ever point a gun at me, jackass. You two are gonna fry for what you've done." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Johnny yells in pain dropping to one knee. Getting a broken hand is not fun. The younger man shakes. "I don't wanna die!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2010-04-02 02:49 am UTC (link)
	"Neither did your victims 'Little C'. You must pay for what you did to them," Doctor Fate says slowly. "We will not allow you to walk away from this. You must face what you did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-04-02 02:55 am UTC (link)
	"You two are gonna go see Detective Milton and tell him what you've done, and we're gonna follow you to the station. You even think of detourin', even for a hospital, and I'll make certain you need one by the end of the night. And then my friend here is going to make sure no one ever finds either of you." Rex says.

	The two men look at each other nervously. Johnny is still reeling in pain and Little C is scared out of his wits of the two heroes. "We'll go. No trouble," Little C says. Johnny grunts in pain and nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2010-04-02 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"Let us be off then," Fate says. His voice wouldn't sound strained to the two gang members but Rex might hear the slight inflection of discomfort. Mark is really starting to make progress into waking up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-04-02 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"You got a handy spell to get us to the precinct? Would save some time." Rex says. That and he doesn't want these guys or the cops around if the guy under the helmet wakes up and wonders what's going on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2010-04-02 03:12 am UTC (link)
	Fate doesn't actually say anything. Bright yellow and white light flashes up around them and suddenly they are just outside of the police station. Mark is really close to the surface. This is not good for Doctor Fate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_misc 2010-04-02 03:14 am UTC (link)
	There are serval cops who stop and stare. The two gang members give startled noises from being suddenly here. Johnny flips off Rex and Little C races inside to get the hell away from them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

As long as they get inside the station, Rex could care less about being given the finger. Besides, Johnny won't be flipping anyone off with his other hand for a long time.

"Officers, you won't be seeing the gargoyles again. These guys will give you the story, and the people they killed led to the attacks.

We're out of here." Warhawk says, turning to leave and taking Fate with him.

	"Uh. Sure?" One cop gives a shaky grin. Another whispers, "They do delivery now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fate is just glad to get away. He stays quite and watches the station as they get away from it. He is happy they were able to resolve this as safely as they could. "It won't be long now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-04-02 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	"You think you can teleport back home before he wakes up and figures out anything?" Rex asks. "If you can't...is there anything you want me to tell him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
