Clocktower

After half an hour of his parents bombarding questions at him about everything from where he'll be working at, to if he is thinking about seeing anyone new.

He makes an excuse to go to the bathroom to start his plans.

Nathan: "Here we go again [Kage Bunshin no Jutsu]" an identical clone of Nathan appears in a 'puff' of cloud.

SC: "Yo boss. It has been a while since you called me for anything except training or to go around playing hero. You know you should appreciate me more"

Nathan: "Yeah, yeah. Just get going."

SC: "Seriously, just once call me to play cards or go see a movie."

Nathan starts to get annoyed at his clone and cuts to the chase "We'll play something later. Just go."

SC: "Sure. I know the drill"

Clone nods and [Kamui]'s away.

Nathan - With Ben and May

Ben: "So son, have you heard about this new hero that started last month. No one has taken a picture of him yet."

Before Nathan can talk May cuts him off.

May: "More importantly, while you were in the bathroom I send a text to Liza. Her younger daughter is single and lives in National City, it's only twenty minute drive, plus she is adorable."

'Sh*t! mom is not gonna let this go' Nathan thought to himself.

Ben: "Honey seriously, boy just came back today. Let him settle before trying to set him up." May glares at him, making him reevaluate his opinion. "Or you could listen to your mother and see if you and this girl hit it off."

Nathan: "Mom, what's this girl like?"

May smirks at her son: "So you are interested. She is very bright. Graduated National City University, and earned a degree in Marketing. I think Liza sent me a picture, let me check." She takes out her phone

May tried to open WhatsApp to find the picture, but after few minutes Nathan started to get annoyed at how slow his mother was with technology "Mom just pass me the phone I'll find the picture"

May: "No need I'm about to find it"

Nathan sends a look to Ben who gestures 'what you gonna do?'

May: "Ow sorry it was on my old phone." She says while sending Ben a look. "I met her in college reunion and she had a great personality

Nathan and Ben shudder a bit, great personality usually meant she is either fat or ugly.

Seeing there was nothing he could do Nathan nods. They continued talking for an hour.

Nathan looks at his watch: "I should get going now. I promise I'll think about it."

May: "Alright honey."

They said their goodbyes and when he was alone Nathan [Kamui]'d away.

LA- Abandoned Clock Tower

The clone was inside an abandoned clock tower. He was surrounded by top of the line tech that was monitoring the city.

In the middle of the room SC was using the main computer to play 'Skyrim' with multiple screens. Due to insane amounts of mods, he was now battling a Thomas the Tank Engine in a Batman suit.

SC shouts "You'll rue the day you challenged the Dark Knight, Thomas." As he strikes Thomas with another Batarang he stops the game when he senses a disruption in space-time.

Nathan comes out of the disruption "Have you finishe... Did you play over my saved file?"

SC: "It's not a problem boss, the game auto saves so you can open your old save data."

Nathan sighs and asks "Did you finish setting up the monitor system"

SC: "I did but I still don't get why you want to use them, can't you just go around in patrols like me and other clones have been doing for a month?"

Nathan shakes his head "That would take too much time, LA is one of the largest cities in the world. Even with clones it would take too much time."

Clone takes out the Skyrim and puts in Fifa 14 disk. "Do you wanna play?"

Nathan grabs a controller "I'm Barca"

SC: "No fair"

-------------

Time: 90+1 - Score: Barcelona 2 - Real Madrid 2

SC: "So boss, anything interesting happened?" He tries to defend.

Nathan: "Yeah mom tried even harder to set me up with Liza's daughter. Apparently she has a great 'personality'"

The clone shudders. When SC was distracted Nathan passes to Messi and shoots it to right corner. ==> 3-2 ==> Final whistle

SC: "Sh*t I lost. *sigh* Anyway are you ready to date someone?"

Nathan: "Well ... maybe."

SC: "Well... I'm you and I think you should. It's been a while since you've been with someone"

Nathan: "I'll think about it." he makes a cross sign and has the clone disappear. A second later... "That son of a b*tch downloaded 36 stupid mods. I'll need to delete them all." *sigh*

Nathan opens the monitors and checks all the street cameras. They all seemed to work.

With his Sharingan and Multi-Screen function he is able to check all of them at once. He notices few petty theft which does not interest him, what caught his attention were a blond girl walking the street alone followed by 2 man and a large scale drug deal happening at docks.

[Kage Bunshin no Jutsu] a clone appears and they both [Kamui] away

-------------

"Give us your wallet!" Thug 1 shouted at the girl.

"He-ere, just let me go" said the girl too scared to call for help. "Hey Jim, look at her. She is young and blonde, probably thinking she'll be a big time actress, maybe we should teach her how the real world works." Thug 2 said while licking his lips.

Taking a good look at the girl Jim started chuckling "Hahaha. It's been a while since I had some fun". Seeing this, she was about to scream but Thug 2 covered her mouth "Hmmm, HMMMM!!!" blonde try to exclaim while starting to cry.

Thug 1: "Ohh, Look at this Steve she already start to cry. I gotta say I like them more when they put more fight into it but this is not bad either"

Nathan: "You 2 leave the girl alone and surrender. Or else you'll be sorry."

Jim pulled out his gun "Walk away and act like you haven't seen anything or else ...".

Nathan: 'This reminds me how boss died' he thought before disappearing and appeared next to the girl. Both man dropped to the ground. "Are you alright miss?" Blonde nodes. "The police is notified, they'll be here in few minutes" [Kamui]

-------------

Nathan was recording the deal. After he had enough evidence he smirked.

A man was counting the money "It's all here boss."

The other man nods and turns "Pleasure doing business with you"

Nathan: "Well since you guys are done with your deal, how about you surrender? Do this the easy way." he says with a hidden smirk behind the mask.

They all took out their weapons and start shooting at him. The bullets went past him. He disappeared and the guns were in a pile.

Nathan: "Last chance to surrender"

Their fear can be seen in their faces, they all start to run away.

Before they could, Nathan disappears again and when he reappears they all fell down, one by one.

The week has gone by like that. He stopped most of the crime in LA. By the end of the week, newspapers were offering large sum for the pictures of masked vigilante.

I just want to say he is a Hero. More in the gray lines like Wolverine, Arrow and Batman.

He does some horrible things when he is angry (like his ex-gf) but he usually tries to do the right thing.

FYI: According to a blog post Oliver has murdered 165 people on screen and only 53 of those kills were justified.

Thanks.
