???Ken: Trip Works [Episode 156966]

by Kender

Tokyo was a city that had a lot going on involving it. It was a major financial center, where huge amounts of cash were moved. Companies had their headquarters there, and all the industrial secrets that might be available were wanted by many people. Then there was all the research that was going on there, in which technological advances might be about to change the world in some way or another. On the other hand, there were secrets ancient and powerful that had their home within the city limits. The fact that this was the capital of the nation could not be forgotten either. And then there were all the various items that had historical and monetary value in many spots around the city. All of that made it rather logical that a 'supervillain' had come to the city. There were definite benefits to being there, and if one had come from elsewhere on the planet, the local authorities would not be expecting to have to deal with this individual's particular 'talents'.

What he needed was directions, and as he came into one city, he saw someone who could possibly help him. He didn't immediately recognize the guy in blue tights and a red cape, but he was reasonably certain that he could get some directions from him. It was just an instinctual thing and he felt safe working from that.

So, he shifted directions and ran to the man, planning on getting through this as quickly as possible. Then he could get back on his way, and hopefully find this 'Flash' guy soon. However, he misjudged his speed a bit, and when he went to stop, he wound up skidding past the man. Doing so was a little embarrassing, but when he turned around, he saw that the man had shifted to face him, which did seem to be a benefit.
