There was an irony here. Considering the city's hero was not of this world, the fact that he was hunting down a straggler in Metropolis. The creature was a real nasty piece of work, which he had to be reminded of in person, when he came across what it was trying to do to a poor lady in the alley way. More like what it'd done to the poor lady in the alley way. It was trying to stash her in the dumpster and buy time when it turned on Midnighter. The mouth on it would probably make a normal person puke or simply recoil, but he simply looked at it unamused.

Usually he had free reign on this sort of thing, rip it apart and all that, but he was under strict orders. He reached into the pocket of his leather coat and pulled a small box out of his pocket. Pushing a button, he listened as it whirred and clicked before opening. "Hop in. It'll be less painful." He'd already calculated the many ways to weaken the creature to the point of shoving it into the box manually, but he wanted to give it a sporting chance. If it really fought, maybe he'd get some good exercise. That was always fun. It'd temporarily alleviate some of his boredom anyway.

There were only so many magazines you could read, briefings you could sit through, and infomercials you could watch until you just wanted to drop down into the middle of some sort of horrible operation and murder the lot of them. Needless to say, having his feet on solid ground was a nice change in scenery.

The alien himself, who looked like a man but off, was less than impressed, not that the sticky substance dripping from his maw was any indication. He hunched back, the ridges on his spine standing up as he was getting ready to attack.
