==========
There was a blur of red and blue that just came into the city and scaled up a skyscraper.. when it stopped, the blur was revealed to be a young man. He was in his trademark colors of jeans, blue shirt, and red jacket. He stood on a rooftop now, looking down at the busy streets. Using his hearing to pick up some sort of clue to Kara's whereabouts. Assuming she was here.. he hadn't had any luck in finding her so far, it was a bit disappointing. He half-suspected that this major city would just be one more dead end to add to the list.
But no.. he couldn't hear anything pointing to good news. Just a lot of noise, which when he isolated each sound, was really a lot of people in need. So many voices. He'd heard rumors that something destructive happened here awhile back, but not much on details about what caused it.
He could hear something close by. Directly beneath him, in a dark alley, a man was threatening a woman.

[*sobs* "Please, take my money.. please.. don't hurt me-"
Slap "Quiet, wench! I'm taking more than that.. hehe.." *snarl*
"Oh my God, please.. oh God, your teeth! I beg you, please don't.."]
*evil laugh* "Sorry, God isn't here to help you.. but by all means, pray if it makes you feel better."

Clark had heard enough. In a blink of an eye, he quickly jumped down into the alley (clearly without pain at all) and tapped the man from behind. "Excuse me. He might not be here, but I am."
The man whirled around, clearly surprised. He had no clue where the boy suddenly came from. "Well, guess I'm gonna be drinking from two." He pulled a knife and made an overhead stab to the neck.
It just bounced off, then Clark took it away.. and broke it into pieces like a toy. He grabbed the man's arm and threw him, sending him flying farther back into the alley. Clark turned to the girl. "Run! Please.. just get as far away as you can. There should be a police station nearby."
She had nodded, taking off. Afraid, but also relieved. But the man got up, rubbing a now-sore shoulder and glaring at this young fool. "Now you gonna die!"
He sighed. "Always have to be the hard way.." He scanned him with his x-ray talent. No weapons.. good. But the internal organs were shriveled, and there wasn't much blood in the nerve endings. Plus, the teeth resembled that of a canine. Great! Another vampire?
The man smiled, showing his hungry fangs. "I'm going to do this slowly." He rushed at him.
"Actually, could you do this fast? I'm kinda busy tonight." Clark again took the punches, which only caused pain to the mugger. He, also again, tossed him against the wall like a rag doll. He really hoped he didn't have to.. well.. he'd rather not think about it. Even though this guy was probably an evil demonspawn.
The man got up again, hurting a bit more. But he felt it start to wear off, and it showed as he came back for more. "After I'm done? I will hunt down that girl and bleed her dry. And do the same to her mother.. and then yours!!" He jumped in the air, fangs bared as he leaped toward his victim (well, not so much that).
Clark stopped for a moment, concerned. He made a decision right then. This thing wasn't going to hurt anyone, least of all his mother. It was clear that the vampire wouldn't ever stop killing, and whatever he was, there was no chance of regaining his humanity. So.. he stared intently, and twin beams of heat shot from his eyes.
The beast cried out in much more pain as before as he was set ablaze, his body on fire, and before he got close enough to touch the man.. there was nothing left but a pile of ashes on the alley cement.
Clark just stared for a moment, seemingly surprised. Then he shook his head and started to walk out of the dim alley. "I'm not sure I'm going to like this city very much..."
