Maybe call more than just a kid who will probably get murdered? Like captain prime? There’s a whole city of superheroes and the whole city is being threatened!

But what other contacts do they have? They have no one else in touch, including Zeke. True, they can also try to reach the police to lend them some official heros, but Gameboy is a must. He’s in their team, they already worked together once, and he’s terribly useful against speedsters

but he’s a kid, seriously, risking a kid’s life is pretty irresponsible

Dunno. I see your point, but he’s not a toddler. He knows what he’s doing, got mother permission and is more powerful than grown-up. He is actively looking for this sort of stuff. Wouldn’t you at least ask him if he is interested?

It was a public broadcast so on some level, the police should already be aware of the threat. Shouldn’t be that hard to convince them to give them additional backup.

We can guess that the city is doing its part… probably the guy that dies in an horrible accident with the chem is Lucas boyfriend…and he ended killing the Troll

Although I agree in general terms, it might stay Elijah’s hand in two ways. One, he’s a kid, which is who he is trying to protect (although we’re less certain how he’ll react to a gaming kid, which was what killed his brother). Two, the speedster is mostly coming into close quarters instead of zooming around with a gun. If Gameboy can touch him, he can freeze the speedster. The same goes for the hacker. His way of attacking favours physical touch. That means Gameboy can freeze two targets. And third, they should call actual superheroes to deal with a… Read more »

He may already be aware of the matter and be planning to go investigate himself. It Was a public broadcast troll. Better to go As a team, than 1 versus 3.

Actually, Game Boy might be a good pick, since Elijah is there, though it’s risky

The Troll would have absolutely no problem with killing a child, but Elijah would be 100% against it, meaning we can potentially get the bad guys to start infighting

Not to mention Game Boy is the perfect counter to Alex (who would also probably be hesitant to actually kill a child)

It’s a very risky move, and not one I would take, but then again I wouldn’t approve of a minor doing ANY superhero stuff to begin with, full stop

oh no, the kid is PERFECT. what better way to get the speedster to side with you than to put him into a forced side choice by bringing a kid!

First of all, Elijah vs Gameboy is ON, As prophesied! Great success!
Second, both groups collect superpowered characters for some great battle, which is literally a round of Super Smash Bros

OK, so he’s probably calling in Gameboy.

But how funny would it be if he actually was just asking random Smash opponents if they want to come?

Doesn’t want him to take the subway this late but is fine with him fighting criminals/super villains. Mom got her priorities right, ranking late night subway more dangerous than common criminals/your everyday super villain. XD

In a subway train, there is nowhere to go if trouble occurs. Outside of the train, there is two but functionally only one way to go to escape. And his mother is his Person In Th Chair, reception might not be the best underground, so she can’t help, and he can’t get help if all that’s down there is himself and the problem.

At street level and up, he has so many more options to stay safe.

A Big Woohoo! For Lucas calling the whole nicole matter as ‘That Bullshite’.
May the fecal matter hit the rotating oscillatory unit at high speeds and be evenly distributed all over her when she learns of her new nickname.
