((Oh, missed that, must have not been paying attention, my bad. I'll remake the post.))
Shocker stopped in his tracks when Superman got in his way and was quite confused on how this guy was damn fast. Shocker couldn’t help but wonder how criminals in this town could make a profit dealing with this guy as the city's guardian. If he got put into jail and when he escaped, Shocker planned on taking the next bus out of this place; no criminal could make a living here.
"Fine, you win...b*****d."
Shocker always took advantage of the fact Superheroes couldn't really fight back if you called them names once you surrendered, so Shocker usually took all the shots when he was arrested to insults police officers and heroes alike. Though he had surrendered, Shocker couldn’t help but notice the other girl Superman had been seen with; did she had a black and white suit? Seemed familiar...

"We have a serious question..." Hybrid said tentatively to the girl. Why did that suit look so familiar to them? "How do we get back to Brooklyn, New York? We have no idea where we are."
'Jeez, I must sound like an idiot...' Washington thought to himself.
'Quiet, we need to pay attention!' one of the voices said.
'We want to go back just as much as you,' said the others.
'All right, all right... Wait shouldn't we ask about that suit, too?'
All the voices replied at once, 'If you wish...'
"Miss, if we may also ask, what is that costume made of?" Hybrid was sure that he wasn't going to like the answer, but he felt compelled to ask.

(ooc It's cool, thanks)
Superman glowered at Shocker. Unneccesary swearing was kind of a pet peeve with him. But that didn't matter right now. He used his superspeed to grab Shocker, deposit him in front of the nearest bank guard, and use his handcuffs to bind Shocker's hands behind his back. "He's all yours" He said to the guard before turning his attention to the cloaked man.
"Who are you?" Superman demanded. "And what do you have to do with my cousin?"

 The man watched the two a moment. He wasn't very surprised that the human was captured. He stared at the man a moment before smiling at him. "Ah, so you are related. Really I haven't done anything to her. It's fairly impossible to" he replied. "Afraid I have gotten on her nerves a bit though.""New York? It's over that way." she replied, pointing towards the Daily Bugle. She looked down at her outfit a moment with a bit of a frown. "It's a symbiote. I actually need to try and get rid of it." she replied.

"I've missed a lot lately and I'm not in the best of moods, so I suggest you quit being vague and cooperate." As Superman said this, he seized reaper by the lapels of his cloak and hoisted him up from the floor with one hand, so that Reaper was looking down on him.

The Reaper looked down at him grinning. "My, it must run in the family." he said with a sigh. "But very well...I suppose I could cooperate. If I can have a small bit of blood that is." he said with a smile. "Not very much, just a refreshment." He doubted he would get a blood sample from him so easily, but it was worth a try.

Shocker wasn't just going to jail like that, but he couldn't possible escape till Superman didn't know he had. All Shocker had to do was wait till he was far enough away and bust out of the hand cuffs using his still functional Vibrational field generator, then he could be off to some other city with a less powerful hero. There was that darker looking city called Gotham, but Shocker would look into what hero defended that city. First, Shocker needed to claim his upgraded equipment that was developed by Hammer Industries so he could have a much better chance at combating Superman if they ever met again. Shocker had high hopes he would find some mercenary work in Metropolis, but who would hire anyone in a city with that guy as its guardian? Didn’t make sense to Shocker.

Hybrid looked out in the direction the woman pointed without turning his head, thanks to his symbiote, and saw the Daily Bugle.
'The Bugle?! But that's in the heart of New York! Weren't we in Brooklyn's Bed-Sty neighborhood?'
'We were...' the myriad voices of the symbiote replied.
"Wait," Hybrid said again, "Are we north of the Bugle, south, what?"
'Please don't say south...' Washington thought to himself.
The symbiotes didn't reply to this, instead making him ask, "And what's this symbiote's name?"

Superman stared blankly at Reaper. What did he want with his blood? "What do you want with my blood?" Superman asked.

Well, this might be easier than he thought. "I need blood. These old bones ache so without it." he replied. "Sadly human blood can only sustain me so long. Blood from those with power is much better. I need much less of it, and it can sustain me so much longer than human. With such, I don't need to seek out more blood for some time." That wasn't entirely true of course...but he didn't need to know that. Could this man really say no and risk him quenching his thirst on the crowd?//Gonna wait and see if E. comes back before I go on as Supergirl.//

((Athankyou! *bows* And yes, I am still all in one piece.))
One of Kara's eyebrows slowly drifted upward, and her lips silently formed something that looked like 'whaa?' She stared at the creature for a beat, completely nonplussed, and then answered. "Um... we aren't exactly on a first name basis. Look, not to be rude or anything, but I've got a city that's going insane..." She paused, listening hard, and then gritted her teeth. One Reaper was in Gotham, and many more were by the Daily Bugle. "Make that several cities going insane. Good luck with... whatever it is that you're doing." With that she shot forward into superspeed, taking out all of the nearby Reapers, and then sped off in the direction of New York City.
{Exit for the Daily Bugle}

Hybrid stood frozen for a moment. All of the voices were arguing in his head.
'WE NEED TO GO AFTER HER!'
'NO! WE NEED TO GO GET BACK HOME!'
'WE CAN BE OF BETTER GOOD HERE!'
'WE DON'T KNOW WHERE 'HERE' IS!'
'HE'S RIGHT!'
'BUT WE CAN MAKE IT OUR HOME!'
'AND ABANDON MY OWN HOME?! NO!'
'BUT WHERE IS YOUR HOME?!?' all the voices questioned.
'...That's why we need to follow her...'
A moment of silence, then the voices said in unison, 'Very well, then... Agreed...'
Hybrid kept an eye on her using their ability to see from any portion of the symbiote, and followed her blurring form, via symbiote web-swinging, out of this area to the next, hoping for more answers.
[exit Hybrid to Daily Bugle]

Superman didn't trust this creature as far as he could throw him (which really wasn't saying much, but you get the idea) something about his simpering-yet-arrogant diplomatic style reminded him of Lex. "If that's the case," Superman said sternly "Then you need to be hospitalized, and recieving regular transfusions. It doesn't explain why you're walking around dressed like death and wielding a scythe, or your relationship with my cousin. Now please answer my question." as he said this, he allowed his grip to slip from Reaper's lapels to his collarbone, and he exerted just enough preassure at first to cause a mild fracture, but he held his grip just in case.

Reaper gave him a small smile. Yes, that would have been too easy. Nevertheless...this man did seem a bit nicer than that girl. Perhaps he could use that to his advantage just a bit. Last thing he needed was two of these short after him. "Alright, alright." he replied. "Why I look like this? Well...how else should I dress? Cliche, but what else would a skeleton look appropriate in?" He could change, but the girl already knew about that. He'd like some bit of disguise if this man chose to come after him as well. Unless of course he could find him the same way his cousin did.
"As for your cousin, I'm afraid she came just after I had gathered blood. As I said, I need it, and human only lasts me so long. She just won't let me go, and after that alien being that's attatched itself to her, her aggression has skyrocketed."

Superman glowered at the man. Clearly he was omitting details here. And the quickly spreading crack in his bone seemed to be causing him no pain. "You don't seem to be in a cooperative mood. Now I suggest you tell me A: How you were gathering the blood in question and why it would make Supergirl want to attack you, B: Why there seem to be hundreds of you all over this place, And C: What Alien Being? Before I decide to follow my cousin's example and see how many of you there are left after I spend ten minutes throwing you all into the sun." Superman hoped that the Skeleton didn't call him on that. He didn't want to resort to lethal combat unless absolutely neccesary, his actual intention was to take him to the Batcave, Maybe Bruce could get more answers out of him in a secure enviroment with fewer potential casualties...
