Okay, this is sorta different but not much. The main idea is: What if people in this world our world, were to start putting costumes and fight crimes.
No super powers, no magic rings or whatever. Just regular people trying to do the right thing.
Okay, let's get started!!!

alrighty then i'll start with 'the avenger'
There he was pearched on...something...not very high off the ground. Wearing a black full face ski mask, a black leather jacket over a blue shirt and black again black pants and brown boot-shoe hybrids and gloves. he was 'the avenger' the name and costume inspired by a golden age hero with the likes of 'the sheild' inspired by the recent upbeat of crime and the comics he read when younger. He patrolled his town.
He then noticed a group thugs beating on an old man.
"Hero time." He thought to himself.
"Hey!" He yelled trying to take a hero stance. "Leave him alone!"
"And who are you freak? some kinda super-hero?"
"nope. Just some guy in a costume...some guy in a costume that can kick your ass." He said apperently hitting a nerve starting a fight. Here he drew on his lessons in jiu-jitsuu and tae-kwon-do and had the much larger man subdued and twisted his arm hearing a 'crack' knowing it was broken and useless.
"Still wanna play boys?" he asked taking another stance. The other thugs seeing their leader beating in moments ran. "Well fella's when people ask tell them it was 'the avenger' that saved ya eh?" He said then turned and ran into a nearby alleyway

>>Heh. Cool<<
Falcon hung from the edge of the cliff, barely holding onto Robins grasp. Slowly and surely, he pulled her back up from the death trap the Joker had set for the two. As soon as her feet hit the cement though, she wasn't allowed enough time to get her breath back. The Joker was holding a gun to Robins head. "End of the line love-birds. Little Daddy bats isn't here to back you up." The bird duo stood stalk still. "Hmmm. And why cvould that be? Could it be because...he's dead now! HAHAHA!" "Think again Joker." A dark hand reached out and twisted the Jokers hand that held the trigger and then punched him in the Jaw.

Lisa Moore gave a short sigh from her table in the library, a pile of school books lay beside her, unread. "Why can't my life be more like a comic book."
"Maybe because we live in something I like to call 'the real world' Liz. You should try it sometime." Ty, her best friend, sjoked as he tusseled her hair and sat down beside her.
"Hardy har har TYLOR." Lisa laid aside her comicbook and once again went to tapping her pencil agianst her algebra worksheet as she worked out the problem in her head. "Don't you ever wonder what it would be lke?"
"I'm a senior, you freshie, all I'M allowed to wonder about is colledge."
"Oh come on. Action, adventure, Romance."
Pual made a gagging sound and stuck his finger aty his mouth. Lisa simply smacked him upside the head with the back of her hand. "OW!"
"You deserved it."

'The Avenger' now dressed as jay ( i keep using that cuz 'j' is my first initial) Webber walked down the hall of his school whispering to one of his best freinds 'Kyle' as they walked. "i did it now pay up."
"What!?"
"You said if i put on that costume and went around town like i was patrolling it you'd pay me twenty dollers...i did it now pay up."
"...so you really did go out and get that thug...your an idiot!"
"hey, someone has to and why not 'the avenger'?"
"you read to many comic books."
"That may be true but the fact remains i want my money." He said walking into the library to do some research for his project.
(k now for someone to thinnk up...should the 'heros' be near each other already like same town thing or maybe some kinda football game meetup after all it'd be kinda boring to write a 'joint' story seperated...besides big cities have PLENTY of crime to go around...but whatever)

Paul stuck his tongue at his younger friend and she simply smacked him on the back of the head again. "Ow. Quit that Kung-fu kiddie"
She simply let out a short laugh and then went back to ther homework, a coy smile on her face.
"What are you doing at the library on a weekend night anyway. Shouldn't you be at home RPGing with your online pals, or at taekwondo practice, or on a date or something? Your to young to be studying like an old foggie like me."
Lisa rolled her eyes. "One, parents said no computer till the homework was done; two, taekwondo is on wekdays;and three, I never have a date. So what else is new."
"Awwww. Is widdle Lisa puoting." Paul pinched one of her cheeks (ON HER FACE) mockingly.
"I wouldn't recomend you do that unless you want tot get hit over the head again."
He backed his hands away and admitted his defeat. "So..." He looked down at his own books and pretended to be reading it...even though it was upside down. Heh. And HE was supposed to be the smart one. "I was wonderiing..." He looked up from his book with hopeful eyes.
She pretended not to notice and went right along doing her algebra homework. A small smile still found its way across her face.
"Maybe you'd like to go to the..." He looked down to the bookmark that he had been using for his book. "The youthgroup gathering their having at 'Jacob's ladder cafe' next friday...with me..."
Lisa looked up at him and gave a smile. YES! It had taken nearly the entire school year, but he had finnaly asked her out--as friends of course. Next friday would mark the beginning of summer vay-cay and that meant...no more school. "Sounds great." Of course...her mom would NEVER approve of her dating a senior...but she wouldn't mind if it was paul, she was sure of it.
He gave a smile, even though he tried to hide it. "Great. I'll uh," he got up from his seat and made his way to the door. "I'll see you at school."
Lisa gave a gigle, put down her homework, and went back to her comic. Now, if she had remembered correcrtly, the Joker was juuuust about to have hjis plans foiled. *****
Lisa waited for her mother outside of the nearly desserted library. Only one other car was there. And to tell the truth, it didn't make her all that comfortable, but she was glad to see it.
Being the junior detective that she was, she had sspotted the same car and guys every saturday at ten minutes after the liibrary had closed. And, as always, a white truck came by and a male cucasion of about thirty with red hair would get out, get into the smaller low-rider, and get out ten minutes later with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face. She, as always hid behing the large trees and bushed. But, this time, she was able to take down the lisense plate numbers in her head. To bad she wasn't good with cars, other wise she would have tried to take that down as well. When she was sure of what she heard, she would anonymously email it to the news and to the police.
But, something was different about tonight. Since she was to far away to hear ALL of their conversation, she caught snipets of it.
"I don't have to money man."
"No money and no dope."
"Aw c'mon. I NEED it."
The man pulled out a gun and pointed it at the dealer. "You wouldn't be the first one I've killed man."
The dealer quickly gave him the stuff , he took and checked it, got back in his car,and he drove off. Lisa's eyes went wide. No way...What started out as a simple case she had been working on for a 'kinda not allowed' project for Law Enforcement Class....looked like it was going to turn out to be a WHOLE lot more.

Jay was talking to his freind on aol while posting on one of the rpg sites he was a member of. <what do you mean a drug dealer?> <exactly what i said. A druggie was caught a few days ago so now the cops are looking for the dealer himself> <well this looks like a job for avenger> <you arent really gonna do that are you? > <hell yes wanna b my sidekick> <no thanks...ill stay behind everything....like that oracle person you talked about> <okay...u and james no comps better then me anyway> <but if you get into ANY trouble im calling the cops and tellign them EVERYTHING> <deal> and then he closed the window and waited for his parents to go to sleep so he could do his 'after school activity' "thank god for weekends." he muttered.

>>Yeah, they should be connected. I posted that last post before I saw your though. Sorry.<< Lisa sat crouching until the other guy drove away as well. Ok, so it was REALLYdangerous for her to be spying on this kind of stuff, it was a known fact that Drug dealers carried guns as well, But she had to admitt it, she loved the adrenalin rush. As her mother finnaly pulled up, she didn't say a thing. Last thing she needed to do was to point out to her mother that she had wittnessed a drug deal and assult case. Her mom would go on about how much she needed to 'protect her baby' and she'd have to turn her cd player all the way up just to block it all out. She went over all of the facts in her mind, turning them over as she went. The guy had said that he had killed before...She couldn't report to the polie now. No, if they got caught for JUST possesion of illeal subbstances, they'd be out in a week. She could get them on something ...bigger. She'd have to go to the school library the next day and see what she could look up on 'the web detective' She had paid thirty bucks to join a program tat shared FBI files, criminal records, and such with inspectors and such. Of course, the webmaster didn't need to know that she was a TEEN detective. She had left that fact out in her registration. **** Next monday, school library Lisa sat in front of the school library. She had thirty minutes before her mom picked her up. She had better make this quick. She quickly logged onto www.automaticsearch.com and logged in. She had the lisense plates numbers. Hopefully that would be enough to go on. She also looged onto the local police website and went to a list of the most wanted, as well as hack her way into the police reports. She was on a public computer. No way they could trace her. Plus, no one would be intrested enough to look over her should and see what she was doing. And, of course, she logged onto her usual comic chat forum. She raised an eyebrow when she saw last nights conversation. Looked like she wasn't the only one who tried to emanulate her childhood heroes. Wasn't going to beat her to the punch though. She had been looking for a way to actualy GET on the streets for a while. She already had a costume set, a line of martial arts supplies she had gotten from her brother and cousin over the last few christmases since she came from a family of martial arts athletes, as WELL as figure a way to get out of the house with the security alarm going off...

Jay was at the library his backpack under his chair he was lucky he lived close enough that he could walk and he was there enough that his mother wouldnt call over for a while. He had james look it up and found out that the man who was arrested as a druggy last week was also someone who frequented the library so he brought the costume and decided to wait till closing time to hide behind some things in shadows and change into his costume then utilized the use of black to hide in them. "too bad im not batman. i could use detective skills." he thought to himself. "and oracle..." He was having his hero fantasies due to having gotten back from his comic book run at the game shop he frequented. (his usual comics are mine: the flash, spiderman, jla, and if it looks interesting this month birds of prey...okay yeah i read it but look at the costumes...also...im not sure if its male ego or something but i wouldnt mind seeing like a guy helping as one of oracles operatives...btw this months issue was interesting...*spoiler* she fired canaray!)
so he waited hoping to see some kind of clue. 'okay...you've read a lot of sherlock holmes you must know something about detective work' he thought

Lisa was on her cell phone not to far away. "Mom. I told you. The library closes at six thirty." Ok. That was a lie. It closed at Six on a saturday, but she had something she had to do tonight. "Look. I 'promise' I'll be careful, ok?" She looked at the library computer in front of her. Which brought up the name of the guy the car had belonged to as well as his criminal record and any other little fact about him. Money was leaking out of his account like it was water...hadn't anyone else thought that was suspicious? She wasn't much of a hacker...didn't know how. That was why she was glad for little spy networks like this. Real name Tom McNott. Last arrested for--whoa. "Mom. I'll have to call you back." She huing up the phone and quickyl jotted this all down in her note book. She had been reading enough Sherlock Holmes and watching enough Forensic Files to know how to gather incriminating proof to get this guy to stay in Jail for a loooong time. If her thory proved to be correct of course. But, it might mean the trouble of visiting the local nightclub in an undercover job. Looked like she would have to watch her little foe again tonight.

Jay was getting bored and humming 'headstrong' to himself when he noticed a car pulling up. " 'bout damn time. Some people have NO respect for other people." He muttered to himself crouching down and waiting. he knew dealers usually kept weapons and if this guy was one he wanted to be ready. then he noticed that in the large dumpster behind him he saw some metal pipes recently torn up and as he looked through he was trying to decide size finding one about the size of a kali stick. 'Perfect.' He thought to himself. Never had he been happier for the lessons in it he had taken.

"If your about to do what I THINK your about to do, you might want to use a little brain power before you jump into a deal that I've been trying to bust for the past month. " Lisa said from befind the dumpster as she pulled her short black wig down on her head that was remeniscent of Birds Of Brey Tv show, as well as blue contacts, and a 'barhoopping' black outfit...that she had gottne out of the trunck in the attic from her older sisters 'Rebbelious' days. Of course, this wasn't her costume. Her costume was in the oversized Maralyn Monroe purse along with her colapsible staff, speed-chucks, and homade 'utility belt', and mask.
