Attack of the Flying Bricks (and the 50ft Robot)
Will hasn't had a lot of time to get to know his new JSA compatriots. It was still a bit of a blur, with people randomly appearing in bathrooms and getting to know everyone, then his grand tour of the Big Apple. It may be no metropolis, but it was still amazing. The food, the girls, the architecture, the bustle, the girls...he said that one already, didn't he?

Well, Will now sits at the top of one of the buildings, the one called the Sony Building. It is large, but what draws him hereis the ability to sit and look around without getting bugged for an autograph or a date or a marriage...

Boy, that was a weird day. Crazy lady threw herself off of a building to have a hero save her. And then she would propose. Well, it may have had a more experienced hero possibly wave it off as a crazy lady. But it doesn't work so well when said hero is really an awkward 16-year-old like Will.

But, the woman was rather cute. Out of her mind, but cute...

Gah! too much to think about. He'd only been at the hero business for a little while, so how would this kind of situation work?

Will sits to ponder, but in his solitude he seems to make out a sound that seems not unlike water, and a lot of it, being displaced. Will looks up, then towards the Harbor. A few seconds go by, and Will thinks it may have been nothing...

...until a gigantic robot slowly emerges from the harbor, moving slowly towards Mahattan.

"Saved by the robot, I suppose," Will mumbles to himself before flying towards the gigantic robot. After a few flybys, the Wisdom of Socrates tell Will that this is an automaton. After a few seconds, Will realizes what it means: It doesn't have a pilot. Its just a robot. So Will hovers in the way as the oddly humanoid figure moves slowly towards him.

"Uh...Big...robot guy! Stop!" Will calls, the giant robot unmoved by the plea.

But, almost as if an aside, the robot gives Will a second glance over.

"CAPTAIN. MARVEL? MY. PROGRAMMING. INDICATES. THREAT! ELIMINATING. NOW!"

Will barely has time to respond before a gigantic robot hand swings at him at an alarming speed. But it's no match for the speed of Hermes, and Will flies out of the way of the gigantic hand and straight at its forehead. Wills fist balls up and swings at the gigantic metal head, confident that it would be removed in a single swing.

It wasn't. Mr. Atom did stumble backwards into the surf, Will was now holding a throbbing hand. That hurt!

But his second reaction wasn't to just wait for the robot to catch its bearings. Quickly, Will summoned his JSA communicator and inputed the command to call for assistance from everyone who was available in the vicinity. Then he flies forward, trying to ensure that Giant Robot Man (or whatever his name is) from getting back into the city.

	"Wonder Girl on her way." Her voice crackles over the communicator. But she isn't that far off. She had just been helping out in an area where the signal got clogged up a bit. She had no idea what the situation would be but that was the exciting part really. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Will hears the name name "Wonder Girl" come out of his communicator, and he's glad someone was coming in to help. However, several strikes at the Giant Robot Man ("Mr. Atom" the Wisdom replies sternly) still haven't done anything. Will reaches for his communicator again.

"Captain Marvel here. Appreciate the help, Wonder Girl. But I still-"

Will dodges under a stiff swing from the robot, looking nervously at just how close the robot was near to solid ground)

"- will need some help. A lot of help. I need as many -"

Will manages to bring his off hand to catch another swipe, grunting as the dense metal barely gives under his super-powered hand and causes some more pain in his hand)

"- big guns as possible. A kryptonian, a lantern, something, anything. I'm having a lot of trouble doing any damage."

Hope had taken the day off from her normal training routine to go up to New York City and do some shopping. Though it was hard for her to find clothes for someone of her size, she always enjoyed going up to the city for the day and doing some shopping and sightseeing. Also, having a Mother Box on hand meant no traffic.

The crowd of people running past her, nearly knocking her to the ground (and it took a lot to knock Hope over), caught her attention. Hope moved to the side of the chaos, and began to look to see what the commotion could possibly be.

When she saw the robot, a grin crossed her face, and Hope dashed into the restroom of a nearby diner. When she came out, she is full armor (why yes, she did keep it on her at all times), and her Mega Rod was in hand. She charged towards the robot.

Will thought he was doing fine. Really, he did.

Then came the giant fist he wasn't expecting, and even the Speed of Hermes isn't enough to doge out of the way.

Will is sent into the ground, swatted like an annoying fly. As he pulls himself up, he sees a young woman in brightly colored armor, charging the robot with what looked like a mace.

"All right! Help has arr-"

Will was cut short by the gigantic foot of the robot smashing down into him.
