Chapter 6: I wear cape now. Capes are cool [video]

[avatardealwithit]

[It's a late at night, but not the Dark Hour just yet. The phone is propped up and recording. A woman walks down the street by herself when suddenly someone runs up from behind and snatches her purse.]

 

No wait! Stop, thief!

 

[Before the figure could get away, there's a sudden burst of smoke in front of them. There's a voice that would sound rather familiar to the network.]

 

I am the terror that bends in the night. I am the ice cube that got shoved down your shirt. I am WOLFBATWOMAN!

 

[And yes, that is Korra, dressed in her native Southern Water tribe clothes but with a wolf-headed mask and mini cape in a heroic pose. The thief sputters and laughs.]

 

Hah! Whatya gonna do? Howl and make me piss myself? Yeah, ri--OOF!

 

[Korra wastes no time knocking the air out of him with a punch. She gives him a chop to the shoulder, which knocks him down. The so-called caped crusader gets the woman's purse and walks over to her.]
 

 

Oh thank you Wolfbatwoman!
 

Just doing my job. I gotta go though. Someone needs to save Prospero.

 

[Another smoke bomb cues her exit and she's gone...along with the feed as a hand snatches the phone at the last second.]

[Korra has taken off the mask by now. She lets out a sigh and cracks a smile.]

Oh hey, Kaoru.

[breatheinthefog]

What's a wolfbat and why are you dressed as one?

[scentofmakai]

Is this normal for humans

[namedforcat]

That...has got to have been the corniest line I have ever heard. And I've heard some really corny ones.

Wolfbats are a creature back home. They kind of look like bats here but they're as big as a wolf.

It's simple, wolfbats strike fear into the hearts of people. It'll make criminals think twice before committing a crime.

I wouldn't know since I'm not local but hey why not.

Besides it keeps me busy.

[avatardealwithit]

What's wrong with that? As a superhero, I gotta be able to stay memorable. So such lines are important.

[breatheinthefog]

........what.

[scentofmakai]

I guess that's a good a reason as any to look dumb!

[namedforcat]

[He is so secretly laughing at her] If you say so.
