((Hey sorry about the no show last night. I had to talk about my neighbor about home security and house sit for him. People like to try and rob him.))
The letter inside was written in blood. 'I see a new one seeks to join the Blood Circle. The Blood Circle is always in need of those who will enforce the will of our dark father. The gift given to you is a virgin blade. Quench it's thirst with the blood of Ted Marvin, an elderly man who's past has finally called upon us to avenge her. You must find him in the usual party clubs around the city. Slaughter him with no kindness, for he has none for young women.
There are people who are devoted to destroying our order and ruin the peoples hopes and dreams of a new life. Normal murder of Ted is needed, otherwise certain people may know the Blood Circle had a hand in it. After wards rest in a safe place, I am watching you. For you will not be a simple worshipper, you are a Champion.' The letter did not have a signature of who wrote it. The photo was of an elderly man who could be in his late 80's. He was living in a hotel at the other side of town. The knife inside was a silver blade with a bronze handle.

"Because you can’t keep a Rhino down!"
Rhino stopped his charge as soon as Super Girl grabbed his horn and instead sent a punch directly for her. Rhino was going to try to crush Super Girl with his bare hands, but even Rhino knew that wouldn't work against her. Rhino had strength, maybe not as much as this hero he was fighting, but it was there to pose a threat. Rhino wanted to use the fact Super Girl was holding onto his horn on his head to deliver a punch to her face and thus get closer to the point where he could crush her. There was a reason for the name Rhino; he never gave up and was almost impossible to keep down no matter what attack you dealt on him. The only things that seemed to work on Rhino were electricity and numerous other methods, but just beating him up would never defeat him.

Unfortunately, the gigantic clock on the front of the Daily Planet chose that exact second to chime, and, even more unfortunately, Kara automatically turned to look at it. As such, the punch that Rhino aimed at her face actually connected, sending her flying back some ten to fifteen feet. She probably would have gone further, except that she crashed into, of all things, a telephone booth. Uninjured but furious with herself, she flew up out of the pile of twisted metal. "Oh, sure," she said sarcastically, "Ever heard of a little thing called a tranquilizer dart, big boy? It's something that makes you sleepy," she added in the honey-sweet voice one might use when talking to a toddler.

"Wait...tran-kwa-iser?"
Rhino didn't know exactly what this lady was speaking about now, so instead of being enraged, Rhino was now a bit confused. Since that insult didn't really hit Rhino, he wasn't as angry. In all the cases where Rhino fought, his enemy kept hurling insults that he could understand, but this one was a bit hard to get. None the less, Rhino still didn't like this Super Girl to just let her confuse him like that; there was going to be blood eventually.
"It takes an explosion to make me sleepy, little girl; no dart is going to make Rhino sleepy!"
Rhino stamped his right foot and started charging forward with his head down, aiming to impale Super Girl with his head horn. Rhino wasn't aware of how vulnerable he was while charging; Super Girl could toss him again, but Rhino was more use to fighting Web Head who couldn't match him in strength.

Supergirl, however, did not throw him; at least, she didn't grab him and toss him like she had before. That was not to say that he wasn't about to go flying. As he charged her, she shot toward him, looking for all the world as though she planned to run her forehead straight into his horn. At the last second, however, she dipped down and to the side, simultaneously bringing a punch around toward his exposed face. "Oh, I don't know. What kind of idiot designed your suit, anyway? 'I'm completely indestructible... unless you hit me in the face, so please don't'? How does that work?"

"Oof!"
Rhino was sent flying back this time in the wall of a building; his body making a big human shaped hole in the wall. The face of Rhino was quite sore from that attack, but the suit enhanced his durability and strength along with Stamina. Before the suit, Rhino was a regular man of average height, the suit he wore not only protect him, but enhanced his abilities. Rhino's face was however still a vulnerable spot, but no one before had the guts to tackle him head on and punch him in the face. Rhino had to admit, this woman was his kind of rival; much more interesting then Web Head. Rhino rose from the rubble and started to rub his face with his right hand.
"You pack a punch for such a small thing; much more interesting to fight then Web Head."
Rhino was determined to fight more, but with an attitude that was for entertainment rather than revenge. From what Rhino heard, Super Girl was just insulting Eastern Bloc with that last one, so it didn't touch him as an insult. Rhino stood up fully and started to brush the rubble off of his shoulders before becoming ready to fight again. Rhino was catching on to what Super Girl had done so far; she waited for him to attack. Since Rhino was calmer now -having his face smashed seemed to calm him down- he remembered that he was basically a living wall; if Rhino stayed on the defensive, he would have the upper hand.

Kara blinked. "Web... Head...?" Who on earth was that supposed to be? She raised an eyebrow, and then shook her head. "Riiiight. Well, thank you for that... Rhino." She crossed her arms, noticing his more defensive posture. "Gosh, are you scared of the little girl, now?" she asked mockingly. It wasn't that she was particularly adverse to taking the offensive; quite the opposite. However, there was no denying that it was more fun, not to mention more efficient, to toss the brute around as he tried to impale her on his freaking horn. Just the thought of it made her giggle.

"Heh! And you call me dumb!"
Rhino started to laugh a bit before continuing to speak. This woman named Super Girl obviously had the same powers or at least close to the same powers as Super Man, so Rhino assumed it would be best to do what he did best; be on the defensive. If she could budge him, then he would be able to toss Super Girl around like a rag doll and win. Rhino was tempted to charge again at her, but it seemed smarter to wait for Super Girl to attack and retaliate against her.
"Now show me what you got!"
Rhino stepped out of the hole in the wall and stamped his feet again, but in a different style. First he leaned to one side and then to the other, stamping his foot each time in preparation for Super Girl's attack.

Rosie hugged her neck tightly, burrying her head in Roxy's shoulder. She knodded her head. She was still crying too hard to say anything. A loud crash made her jump a bit and she jerked her head up to see what it was. It was nothing...again. She turned her head to look at Roxy, and could tell that she was upset
"I'm ok..." she said quietly as she leaned her head back onto her shoulder.

Kara nodded slowly, her expression earnest. "Yes, Rhino, I do call you dumb. Good job!" Then she put her hands on her hips. "And please. If I showed you what I have, you would be a rhino shaped splatter on the ground, and I don't care what your stupid suit is made out of." She glanced back at the clock again, and then sighed. "Besides, as funny and ego-boosting as this exercise has been, I do have somewhere to be. Plus," she added conspiratorially, "I can't let my regular villains see me with a guy in a rhino suit. They might think I'm settling."

Rhino took a moment to take in all what she said, but at the same time was happy he didn't have to fight anymore; he was the victim in all of this after all.
"So on your wedding day, you're fiancé in going to wear a Rhino suit? And I thought Web Head was screwy...You’re paying for the damages..."
Rhino chuckled and started to run off down the street, trying to get away from the entire battle scene before authorities arrived and started taking assessment of the damage. Rhino and Super Girl's fight managed to make a lot of damage and Rhino wasn't going to hang around to be charged for it. Rhino had some people he needed to make pay for the set up and after that he needed to find a paying job somewhere.

Kara blinked. "Wait, what?" What about her fiance? What? Where did he think he was going? It was surprisingly difficult to get your head around the statements of such a dumb person, simply because their logic was so... off. "I'm not letting you go," she said blankly, and then shot after the giant, reaching forward to yank his leg out from under him. If that worked, she fully intended to yank him into the air and off to Arkham; it was built to deal with people like this.

"Hey! You started this! I'm the victim here! You're just as thick as Web Head!"
Rhino struggled a bit in order to get loose from Super Girl's grasp; he wasn't going anywhere for a crime he didn't technically commit and a fight he technically didn't start or did he? Well Rhino did try to flick Super Girl into a wall at first, but the package thing wasn't his fault; it was Eastern Bloc's fault. The last thing Rhino was going to do was getting sent to a prison for something that wasn't his fault. Rhino needed to make some money, but hopefully for upgrades later in the future. These heroes from another dimension had far more power then he thought and Rhino was going to need to buy plenty of upgrades in order to combat them on an equal level. Still trying to break free from Super Girl’s grip on his leg, Rhino started to thrash around violently like, but he couldn’t reach his toes, so he could reach Super Girl.
"Put me down!"

"Well, gosh, since you asked so nicely..." She trailed off, pretending to think about it, and then beamed. "Nope! Don't worry, Arkham is a very nice place. I know that they're currently hosting a man made out of clay, so I'm sure that you'll be able to make lots of friends who are just as ugly as you." More importantly, he wouldn't be able to escape. "Comfy?" she asked, swinging him back and fourth a little, "Goood." With that, she shot off in the direction of Gotham.

 The Reaper watched the fight with amusement, and retracted into the shadows a bit as they flew past. He shook his head and glanced back down at the letter. Some kind of cult then huh? Well it was something to do while he was here. Too bad it had to be a normal murder though, he would love to preform his usual kill here. See how the public responded to that. But it didn't matter, he could pick up snacks elsewhere. He wouldn't get much out of an old man anyway. He pocketed the note and stood back up, the cover swirling around him and becomming the bottom of his cloak again. He glanced up at the sky a moment, his black eyes slowly growing until they engulfed his eyes like black holes. "Well then, time to have a little fun." he smiled as the cloak caught flame and soon engulfed the rest of him. The flames soon settled to the ground, turned black, and became nothing but a shadow. Quickly it raced across the street and over buildings. Make a stop at the man's house first. See if he's home. Roxanne gripped her and fell into her shaddow. Within moments she reamerged on top of one of the tallest buildings in the city. She glanced off to whre the clown girl said that the girls lived. Didn't look like much. "Hey, does anything look familiar here? she asked.
