As they drove, listening on the radio there was nothing they needed to step in, they could help in every little thing that came up if they wanted to, but Batman warned them not to stretch themselves thin, if the cops can handle it. Let them.
Interfering to much in small petty crimes will cause the cops to start hating the Vigilanties more then they already do, the creation of the Jutstice league has started to help their image, but it is still a work in progress.
It was one of these radio calls that made Gunmetal pull over to listen to.
''Calling all available patrol cars and Ambulances in District 9, north of Wayne Tower. A construction building fell apart, reporting multiple casualties. Estimated in the double digits.''
Gunmetal didn't hesitate, reving the engine he peeled off as he began to speed towards the location.
''G&R team heading to reported mass Cass to assist,'' Raven spoke into her communication with the team.
''Robin en route.''
''Me and BB are on our way as well.''
''Dispatch this is Gunmetal, Vigilante. I am heading on my way with the Teen Titans to the Mass Casualty in District 9, North of Wayne Tower. We will offer our assistance in moving rubble and taking care of wounded.''
There was a bit of static before a deep gruff voice came over the line. ''Gunmetal, the new kid? Get there as fast as you can, apparently, it's bad, I'm en route now.''
The line clicked off afterwards and he took a deep breath before directing all of his focus to the road, using the cycle to it's limit which was only possible due to his use of bullet time when he needed to make sharp turns.
They took the highway since it was the most direct route.
''Raven, can you make me float when I jump?''
''We need to find you a way to glide or something, yes I can.''
She lifted off the bike, before taking off into the air beside him, soon Starfire was seen traveling beside him as well.
''Friend Robin is on his way! Cyborg and Beast Boy are already there!''
'Good... Raven!'' He activated the bikes auto drive function, jumping to stand onto the seat he crouched, preparing himself before the seat suddenly launched him. Kicking off the seat as he flew forward.
Putting away his rifle and other weapons while he was falling he spread out his arms, even in free fall he could control his direction slightly.
Only for a feeling of weightlessness to take him before he landed onto the ground.
Needing to run a bit when he landed to keep his momentum going so he didn't just trip onto his face he made his way to nearest beam, attempting to pull it into his inventory, only to curse when he got the notification that it didn't belong to him.
Turning instead he headed for the station for the wounded, a quick head count was fifteen, all of varrying wounds, some really bad.
Cyborg, BB, Raven and Starfire began to help clear rubble to get people out from beneath it, when Robin got there he began to look after the ones with the least concerning wounds like scratches or bruises.
Gunmetal went to the worst one first, a pregnant woman with a rebar pipe through her stomach.
His stomach dropped at the site but he kneeled down beside her, she was in tears. Not a lot of ambulances had arrived yet and she was bleeding pretty badly.
She couldn't form words when she saw him get close to her, the mask didn't exactly help his image either as he switched through his AR lens, before using the x-ray to examine the damage on the inside.
He felt a burst of happiness when he noticed the bar had missed the baby and anything vital, he could fix this.
''Miss, look at me.''
She turned to look at him, tears streaming down her face, reaching forward he grabbed her hand, one she returned with a death grip.
''Your baby is fine, the bar missed them by a full inch, now I can help you but I need you to be strong. I am going to remove the bar and I am going to fix you right up, but it is going to hurt a lot, alright?''
When he said her baby was fine, relief flooded her and she just started nodding, choking up to much from crying so hard to form words.
If anyone but Gunmetal did this, it would mean death for the woman, but his system gave him the chance to save her.
He pulled off his belt, his pants wouldn't move either way, so it was more a decoration piece, but it was moments like this it came in handy.
Doubling it over he put it into her mouth. ''I'm going to pull the bar out, and it's going to hurt. Bite down as hard as you can on that belt, and squeeze my hand as HARD as you need to. Scream as loud as you need to.''
Her teeth clenched at his belt and she nodded, taking his hand with both of hers and squeezing hard. He steadied his breathing, having her subcoinsicly try and follow his breathing before he spoke.
''On three, alright? One.''
''TWO!'' He suddenly pulled the bar out of her stomach and she screamed bloody murder, he could feel the strain of his hand due to her strength as he pulled a specialized healing shot from his inventory.
They were EXPENSIVE, and highly dangerous to use on someone that wasn't highly trained, and the only reason why Batman allowed him to have them because of his system and how it treated healing.
It got rid of the bad, and only boosted the benefits.
As soon as he stuck her, he pulled up her healthbar that he could only see as she was considered an Ally now that she was putting her faith into him.
A lot debuffs went away and her heath got a green up arrow next to it.
The moment the woman relaxed and the pain started to disappear she started to thank him, again and again.
''No need to thank me, do NOT move for at least ten minutes, after that only have someone strong that can help you move, go directly to the hospital for proper checkups for you and your baby Ma'am.''
She nodded at him before he stood, taking his belt he moved onto the next person.
It was a man with a twisted leg, kneeling next to the man who was staring at him he spoke.
''You don't need to give me the speel, if you can save her, I'll believe you scary dude.''
''That's good, because this is going to hurt like a bitch, because I will need to straighten your leg and the bones before I splint you, and it's going to take longer for you to heal.''
''It hurt like a bitch when it got crushed, how much wor-''
Gunmetal suddenly straightened the guys leg, twisting it around so it was straight and the man got cut off as he suddenly roared in pain, actually punching Gunmetal in the shoulder, not that it hurt.
''SON OF A BITCH!'' He growled out as Gunmetal started to splint the leg.
Thanks to the system it would treat the injury as a 'game' injury, and after a few days off it, his leg would undergo many months of healing, as if it was done by the best doctor.
''Stay off it, have a doctor properly splint it.'' Gunmetal said as he went to the next person, it was a Father and daughter pair, the Father looked fine but he had a few busted fingers, his daughter had a dislocated arm.
''Please look at her first.''
Gunmetal kneeled next to the girl. ''Hey Sweety, I'm Gunmetal and I'm going to fix you right up alright? It's going to hurt for just a moment, but right after I'll give you some magical juice that will make you feel all better in no time.''
She sniffled hard, tears streaking down her face. ''M-...Magwical?''
''Magical, straight out of a fairy tail, but don't tell anyone! What's your favorite juice?'' He spoke to her while he took ahold of her elbow and shoulder, being gentle.
''A-Apple juice!'' With a crunch he suddenly put the shoulder back into place and she screamed out, the Dad's face getting quesy at the sight before she stopped screaming, only crying more. Sniffling hard as she took the offered juice box.
He mixed in a very small amount of pain medication, it was technically just Advil, but worked a LOT better because of the system. Narcotics without all the bad stuff pretty much.
As she sipped at it, her mood noticeably took a 180 and the Dad sighed hard, the man was fighting back tears as Gun looked over the man's fingers.
''Thank you... I know it was just a dislocation but I was so...So..''
''Scared? I understand... The building suddenly collapses and your mind shuts off, you react on instinct, and when it starts turning back on the first thing is always the worry, the hatred for your own weakness... Being scared something happened... Could have happened.''
The man nodded, not even flinching when his fingers were straightened out and he got handed a similiar juice box, that made him laugh out loud.
''But that's why I do what I do, because I have the power, might not be able to save everyone, but I can try my best.'' Gunmetal stood, moving onto the next person before he was stopped by the dad.
''Hold on... I don't know if this is true or not, but I don't think the building fell on it's own, I saw someone shady hanging around the site while it was dark. I was actually the one who called originally. I didn't hear anything when it started falling, but I'm sure it was not accidental.''
Gunmetal frowned behind his mask, glad it wasn't showing as he nodded firmly. ''If it wasn't, we'll get to the bottom of it.''
There were more sirens arriving as ambulances and cop cars began to pull in, one of the first ones who jumped out one of the cars was Commissioner Gordan himself.
They continued tending to the wounded, clearing the rubble, and after almost two hours of hard work everyone was out, and everyone was fine, there were no deaths, but that was only because Gunmetal had been in the scene, if he wasn't.
There would have been at least 8 deaths, and that is the minimum count.
The only people remaining were cops as they inspected the scene.
The titans were helping as well, Raven using some sort of magic around to 'replay' scenes in a certain locations as Robin and Cyborg went around with a scanner.
Beast Boy was a dog of some sort, sniffing around.
Gunmetal had his AR lens activated as he closely inspected the main support beams, something was off about them but he couldn't place it.
None of them looked cut, only bent to their breaking point.
It was only when Gunmetal got to the last one did he see something odd.
The way the metal was bent made it looked like it was bent before the building started to collapse, and the direction it was bent confirmed it was one of the first to give.
Gunmetal scratched his chin before he locked his mask off from producing sound as he spoke.
''Gunmetal to the Bat Computer.''
''Yes Young Master Metal?'' Alfred voice filtered through.
''I'm sending scans of a bent foundation, does it look off to you?'' There was a pause as his pictures uploaded.
''Hmm... They do indeed, it doesn't seem they bent due to excessive weight, nor a strong force to do it.''
Taking out a vial and a metal shaver, he shaved off some of the metal and placed it into his inventory, he would need to look into it back at the Batcomputer.
''Try to look up any similar situations, focus on construction sites, and if that doesn't give anything broaden your search.''
''May I recommend you all head back for the night? Dawn is approaching.''
Gunmetal looked up to the sky, noticing the change of color. He let out a sigh before nodding as he stood.
''Gunmetal RTB'' He cut off the communication and whistled, getting the other Titan's attention, simply nodding his head upwards.
They looked up and nodded. All of them break off to find their own ways back to the hideout.
------------------------------------
So, yes I get it. I'm not good at depicting these characters in their usual light. A lot of 'Out of character' for a lot of people, and I get that. But again, as I've said I'm still new to the whole DC, and even Marvel thing.
This is me just writing what I like, as I like, the way I like. Consider it one of the many different universes that exist in the comic world. I'm taking my time to learn more about the character by reading their comics, and maybe eventually I will make a more serious one, but for now I am just going to continue going at my pace, if that upsets you I'm sorry, if you have useful advice, or criticism, or recommendation on what certain comics, movies, shows, or whatever that I should watch. Then thank you for helping.
I'm sorry for my recent absence, got a lot going on.
