Dick paced the surface of the boat.
"So, you're sure we're headed to the right place?"
"Yeah, it's Impel Down. Biggest prison in the Deeps. I don't think we'll be missing it." Nicole's words assured him, but Dick was still afraid that the Avengers would react negatively to him coming. The past few days on the ship, he had practised his techniques, learning the new limits of his abilities. But he had also done some information-gathering, by talking to the gang on board. Apparently, there was a superhero group, called the Avengers. And best of all, they were based in the Vasty Deeps. But more rumours were circulating that they were in a battle against rioters on the biggest Imperial prison in the Omniverse, Impel Down. Intrigued, Dick requested that they head there. So there they were going.
Within a few hours, the ship had arrived at Impel Down. And the rumours proved true. A large-scale battle was going on, costumed heroes and armoured stormtroopers against the bold orange jumpsuits of the prisoners.
"So, you coming?" Dick looked at Nicole. "Your powers could come in handy."
"Nah. I'm not big on these hero groups. Just looking out for us." Dick shook his head.
"Alright."
"We'll stay here for you to come back," she said, but by then Dick was already running to the edge of the ship. He leapt over to the edge of Impel Down's shore, scanning the area. The Avengers were apparently moving in, pushing the prisoners back. But there were always outliers. Several prisoners had gotten past, each standing, not sure how to approach the scenario. Suddenly, Dick's sense of danger kicked in as he was looking around, and he did a quick flip to his side-and just in time. A laser soared past him, nearly scorching his head. He kicked in his eye-beams, hitting straight at the end of the gun barrel. It melted over, causing the gun to become useless. The criminal threw it on the ground in frustration, and Dick took advantage, sprinting forward with a burst of speed. He rammed into the prisoner, shoulder first, knocking him to the ground before kicking his head to knock him out. Another prisoner rushed forward, brandishing a baton, but Dick darted to the side just in time to avoid getting hit, punching the prisoner in the gut. He clenched with his hand onto the man's stomach, before grabbing his back and tossing him onto the ground. Another burst of speed, and he was up near the Avengers, and the stormtroopers.
"Avengers!" he yelled. "I'm here to help!"
