Morningstar #14
Over the course of the next month Morningstar eased himself into his role as Toronto's official superhero, going out on regular patrols and establishing a prescence in the city. During that time he responded to a number of calls involving crazed young men on somekind of PCP rampage, displaying heightened strength and resistence to injury.
While Morningstar stopped these rampages with relative ease, one of the men, a weightlifter that had gone on a rampage at his regular gym, was found to have a vial filled with a near flourescent green liquid in his locker.
The case was taken by a Detective Larry Holmes, who did not take well to Morningstar's concern and so shut him out with extreme prejudice.
Nevertheless, after one of a duo of youths that had gone on a rampage fell into a coma and died, Morningstar received a call from a woman, "Investigative Reporter Tanya Sullivan", who set up a meeting between them to discuss the case.
At this meeting Sullivan revealed that a new drug, somekind of super-performance enhancer called "Hype" had recently hit the streets of Toronto and was beginning to circulate. She produced a vial of near flourescent green liquid, and went on to say that she believed it was responsible for these rageful rampages. Finally, she told Morningstar that three of the four people that had rampaged had all visited a shadey medical doctor, Lionel Barthallamew, at a downtown clinic and all within the past 6 weeks.
Before she could go on however, three thugs strolled up to them and one of them plucked the vial from Sullivan's hand. When Morningstar stood up to them, each slapped their own arm with a palm-held injector. A moment later, their faces turned red, the veins on their necks poppoed out, and their muscles swelled.
Nevertheless, Morningstar quickly placed two of the "Hype" powered thugs in restraints of solid light. And while the third hit him with a number of solid blows, he quickly recovered and subdued his assaillent.
The trio were soon turned over to the police. Morningstar thanked Sullivan for the info. and then returned to the station himself to write a report.
