M.E., A Name She Calls Herself

“What’ve we got, Jim?”

“Laser Beauty, cape from Eastside. Real name’s Sarah McCallister, medical examiner, 6th precinct.”

“Shame. Doctor Sting’s Death Bees got her, then?”

“Yeah, but she took a whole swarm with her.”

“Ah. So ‘twas Beauty killed the bees.”

“Yep.”

 

I was thinking I hadn’t written a superhero story in a while, and I was thinking about bees, and, well….this happened. I don’t like bees.
