Cthulu saves! For dinner.
It happened one day. Bombs went off across the city and suddenly people got rounded up like cattle. One look at a Cthulu spawn and they were either screaming in utter insanity or on their knees in reverence. A couple of times men and women suddenly jumped each other coupling roughly on the roof of a car.

But they stopped and started to pick up all kinds of weapons. Most of them were improvised weapons.

The numerous Cthulu spawn who had been called up from the deep joined them. This city would be theirs by nightfall. They needed to finish it tonight.

Cthulu called to them.

	Jon heads for San Francisco when he hears about the change. He'd prefer to continue helping in Metropolis, but he'll do his job, and go where things are the worst. He uses telescopic vision and x-ray well ahead of his arrival, trying to find the worst of it so he can head right into the midst of the worst. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Pbbbgth. Rthyl uma sarr," shouts a strange creature. It has a wickedly curved blade in one hand and a glowing blue bottle in the other. The way it stands indicates that it will be challenging the son of Kal-El. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong - to you too, ugly." he responds. That glowing thing looks uncomfortably like magic. No time for hesitation, he rushes forward and swings at the thing anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It hisses at him then cracks it's arm up and around intending on breaking the bottle on Jon. The bottle has magic in it that acts like acid to people who are weak against magic. This will hurt if it happens. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aaaarrrghh!" He doesn't feel pain very often. Thankfully, instinct does drive him to bring his left arm up to shield his face. Despite which, he still gets enough of the liquid splashed on his cheek and brow to scarify his face horribly, while his arm, though still movable, appears almost in tatters, loose flesh and muscle hanging and the bones of his hand visible in one spot.

He swings his right around, trying to smash the monster away while he processes what just happened.

	Oh he was lucky. At least it wasn't something more terrible than acid and he had protected his face. The creature goes back a few feet. It picks itself up and seems to laugh at what happened to John's hands. It sounds wrong coming from the creature. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thankfully, that's not the only weapons the first son of two worlds has. Biting back the pain, a pair of thin red beams lance from his eyes at the monster's chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The monster screeches then begins to gibber in it's native tongue trying to protect itself. Pro tip: laser eyes hurt like hell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As soon as the gibbering starts, and he knows he has its attention, he charges, building up to super speed and cracking the sound barrier along the way, throwing rights and lefts hard, despite how badly those lefts hurt right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sadly Cthulu's children do not have the ability to control time around them. So they can not stop what is about to happen. Jon hits the Cthulu spawn head-on. It gurgles in pain. Then lashes out with the knife and it's claws. While the knife is not magical the claws have been dipped in a poison that reacts much like fear gas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The knife doesn't do much, and the claws don't do as much as they might to a human, but their magical nature still leads them to do far more than they would without the enchantment.

Fears of failure rise to the surface. He sees ghostly images of his father and mother looking at him in disappointment. The world is burning, the city is falling... and its his fault. He sees his father tear the S from his chest.

Staring at it, on the verge of giving up to fear and despair, he remembers what it means, what it stands for.

The creature gets another blast of heat ray vision, and he begins fighting back against the grip, against the pain. He won't let this thing beat him.

	More Cthulu spawn start to creep up as Jon is caught under the power of the poison. They are all too happy to get in on the attack against this power house. They pull out jars of different kinds of magic and get ready. As Jon attacks their wounded brother they throw jars of things that stick, itch, and sting at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He screams, unused to this much pain and sudden confusion, especially when something that burns like napalm hits his tattered arm. Drawing in a deep breath, he releases it in a hurricane force gust towards one group, then spins, heat rays lancing out at another, fighting in all directions now to try and keep them at bay long enough to collect himself.

They get sent flying and tumbling back. A few squishy sounds of flesh hitting the ground can be heard as well as unhappy gurgling sound is heard.

The four different Cthulu spawn get up. They each are pretty different from each other but still look like the things nightmares are born from.

They hiss then charge in to attack using all of their strength to attack the injuries they have inflicted on him.

Just then, a flash of orange and green leaps out between Jon and the Cthulu spawn. A blade glimmers and lashes out at one of the spawn, drawing sickly, alien blood. The hideous creature is knocked back, and Arthur stands before them, sword drawn.

AJ had only worked a little info out of the cultist, but it was enough for him to figure out where he needed to be. AJ could just feel the fear and rage in the San Francisco waters, though he wasn't sure why. It did, however, make him feel a bit more bloodthirsty. AJ turns to look at Jon.

"Man, you look terrible." AJ flexes his shoulders and points his sword at the approaching spawn. "Don't worry, I'll help even the odds."
