It was a scene so surreal that one would be tempted to not believe it unless they were actually there. Times Square... one of the busiest, brightest, most famous parts of New York... and now? Almost the entire area was roped off, with police and government officials combing the streets. In the middle, a giant, smoking crater roughly the size of a small house, in the middle of the street. Leading up to the crater was a path of destruction... burning and crushed stores, cars, and kiosks. Dinah Lance had offered to go to the scene as soon as it happened, and, since Superman was currently MIA, and Batman was on assignment, Wonder Woman had used her sole slot as leader to approve it. But... even more than the occurance, what was really bothering Dinah was that nobody wanted to let her onto the scene... she was getting the runaround even after showing her JLA ID.
"Move it. Everyone out of the way!" The sea of policemen began to part with a chorus of New York's finest curses before a dark-haired Latina woman appeared in a black pants suit. She nearly shoved her badge in one of the cops face before making her way closer to the crater. Sofia Santiago had immediately been alerted to the crash by her superiors, and in the blink of an eye she was speeding through the city as best as she could. When Sofia saw Dinah Lance being hassled by the authorities, she stepped up to the scene. Flashing her badge once more, she added with a sharp tongue. "Is there any reason why you are giving the Black Canary a hard time? Because I highly doubt your chief would like to hear you were not allowing a member of the Justice League to do her damn job."
( An unsettling discovery )
