A story in the Night of Madness Universe
Reluctant_Sir started it... adding to Mushroom's NOM universe. It made me wonder how a story written by the "bad guys" would work. I figured out that sometimes bad guys just don't consider themselves bad. I don't know Marvel or DC comics city names and my geography sucks anyway, so I just used actual places. Many thanks to Reluctant_Sir for encouraging me and for taking a look at the story before I posted it. He fixed a bunch of silly errors! Those he missed are all me.
