Jason sat on the couch thinking.
"How could Mary think of that, joining me as if I ever wanted this."
"But now that I've been caught up in this, it won't end here. Dad would have had more enemies back in the day, and now they know I'm taking up after him, and one already knows my identity, it all means more attention."
"I have to protect my sister at all cost, and I guess protecting this city is now my responsibility."
"Fine, if that's what you wanted dad, you've got it. I will be Shadow and bring order back to this city."
Jason stood up and headed to the lair. But before entering he saw the news on the new hero in town.
"New hero huh?"
Jason got in and then picked out a new suit from the gallery.
PIM! PIM! PIM!
"Robbery downtown at the bank. A perfect dramatic entrance."
Jason then wore his mask and headed out.
Swinging across the city, he enjoyed it.
Moving acrobatically on the air, flips, twists, spins and turns.
He spotted a car about to run over a boy, so Shadow dived down.
He got to the kid, grabbed him with his right hand, placed his left on the car and pushed himself, flipping forward and landing on his feet.
"You alright kid?"
"Yes thanks Shadow."
"Shadow is baccckkk!!!!!!"
A man from the crowd that pulled up to see yelled with joy and the people cheered and hailed him on.
Shadow then shot his grappling hook, swinging off to the bank.
Outside were police cars pulled up, and trying to communicate with the robbers since they held hostages.
"I'll handle this guys."
Shadow said as he landed before them.
"Hey who are you?"
One asked as another police officer slapped his head.
"That's Shadow, The Shadow you dummy."
Shadow then walked into the bank.
"The easy way or the hard way guys?"
Shadow stood before four armed robbers.
"Oh the masked freak is back."
"Okay well, that's rude… I like it."
Shadow clenched his fists as the robbers all locked in.
"Get him!"
Immediately, they all ran towards Shadow.
Shadow from his utility belt, brought out a black twine.
The first robber came, and Shadow punched him in face, then tied his arms with the twine
He then kicked the second robber and made his hands go all the way to the back, before tying them together with the first guy.
Shadow used the head of the third robber to smash his knees, and as he lost balance, he tied his arms too.
Using the last robber's head, he hit it against the second robber and tied them all up.
"All yours boys!"
Shadow walked out as the police came in to carry the robbers.
Shadow was about to swing off, when suddenly from the police radio, a new call out came in.
"Suspected hostile activity picked up at the Lagos State harbour, requesting backup."
"On it!"
Shadow gave out as he took to the skies, swinging on and off buildings.
He was on air as he spotted the crossfire between the police and armed guys.
Shadow then dived down and landed behind a police car, bringing out his guns.
"Let's do this."
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Shadow then came up and joined the shoot out.
Shooting the legs of criminals, some shielding themselves behind caravans and boxes.
"On me!"
Shadow ordered as he got up and began walking towards the thugs as he was firing at them.
The police officers followed behind him taking out the thugs.
"Let's go now!"
Three thugs yelled as they put on swimming suits with oxygen tanks and dived into the sea leaving the others behind.
"Not on my watch."
Shadow ran and dived into the water following them.
He got to one, punched and knees his face knocking him unconscious.
Shadow then put on the suit and connected the oxygen tank as he pushed the two other thugs into the water deep.
["The fuck is this?"]
Reaching a metal gate deep under the sea, it opened up as Shadow and the two thugs came in into a open space.
"Argh! Argh!"
Shadow groaned as he took out the thugs.
"Now let's see what this place truly is."
Shadow was about to move when suddenly the alarm went off and the space he was in suddenly got flooded with armed thugs aiming their guns at him.
"Woaw! No need to get all violent guys. Let's talk things out yeah?"
Shadow took off the swimming suit and dropped it together with the oxygen tank.
All the thugs cocked their guns, and then one gave the order.
"Fire!"
They sprayed bullets at Shadow, who then began to shoot back as he ran towards them dodging as much as he could.
"I'm like a sitting duck right here!"
Shadow threw some of his knives killing some thugs. He then jumped up into the air as he held his guns shooting down some thugs.
He landed as he punched a thug, kicked another, flipped backwards kicking another one the neck.
"Oh shit!"
Shadow jumped up into the air dodging a wave of bullets.
As he landed, he ran towards the thugs. Brushed some off the ground and shot them on air.
A thug threw his knife at Shadow, but he spinned and kicked the knife back and it stabbed the thug.
He then shot them all and hit one towards the wall, before blowing his brains out.
Shadow stood still holding his guns in his hands, panting and trying to catch his breath as he was drenched in blood.
BAM!
"Huh?"
Shadow felt the warm feeling in his chest as he looked down, touching it and seeing his blood.
He then turned around and saw a man in an all back tuxedo, black boots, black shirt, and tie holding a gun in his right hand.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Four shots to the chest, Shadow took as blood spilled out of him, before falling down to the ground unconscious.
