Thanks! I'm glad you liked this part!
I'm having so much fun with Jimmy. hehe! Wait til you see what he does in the next part.
I just loved the interaction betweed Speedy and Supes. That was just so darn cute. You can't see it, but I'm smiling broadly.
Yay! Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Like I said at the start of my post, I'm quite proud of that part - I wanted to give it a "comics" feel, I'm glad it worked!
"Ok, let's be serious for a second..." Superman started, "I tried blowing that cloud away, but it just wouldn't budge.
There's that Smallville bit that you'd already come up with....
Well, sort of. At first, I did have Superman blow the cloud away... Then Smallville came up and I decided I was going to change that part. And actually, it's not a bad thing that I did... it enabled me to do something more interesting with the little interaction between the Wizard and Livewire than what I had originally planned.
Was the water really deep enough for Aquaman to swim in?
Well, yeah, I guess so. Metropolis is turning into another Venice... Three feet of water! Gadfries.
There's about three feet of water by then, yeah. Could be a little more depending on the terrain and all.
I figured it would be enough... It's raining like flippin' hell out there - if you notice it goes from about a foot and a half to close to three in a matter of minutes (like... uh... magic? LOL) It's realy cataclismic, I wasn't kidding.
Ann, I almost expected you to complain that there were too many villains here. *lol* I did throw in three super guys, though, didn't I? And did I tell you I thought a lot about you while I was writing it? I think I said this before... well, I'm saying it again.
Everytime Flash comes up, I find myself hoping you'll think I did a good job with him.
You really managed to capture that somehow "playful" atmosphere of that comic book, which gave me a feeling as if these brightly clad superheroes were really a bunch of kids who loved to dress up and go out and play coppers and robbers or something.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! That's what I was going for and I'm glad you think I managed it.
(Admittedly the Flash was more "serious" when I read about him in the comic book, but what the heck....)
Yeah, I know... I seem to remember him being more serious as well. Although, everywhere I've ever seen him, he was always just a touch less "stiff" than Superman is. With other people, I don't think he'd be so relaxed, but with other superheroes, I think it's normal that they're all a little less formal.
In the "Speed Demons" episode of Superman (the animated series) they have Flash acting like he's the be all and end all - he's *really* full of himself. I toned it down quite a bit, he's just being a bit silly... he's teasing more than he seriously thinks he's superior.
Thanks again for the comments! I appreciate them more than you know.
Back to writing I go.
Part 9 is almost done and likely to be posted tonight. Tomorrow at the very latest.
