Feat Of Clay: Familiar Faces

October 17 2016

The time was six a.m. as there was a shooting of a movie happening at Gotham harbour as the flim makers were standing while discussing the shooting, The other employees were setting up the cameras as the assistant director said something.

Assistant Director: Ready on set! Please call Mister Hagen?

???: I think he's doing something at the RV right now, I'll get him.

His name was John Hennigan, He is an actor and is also best friends with famous movie star Matt Hagen.

Meanwhile, in the RV, It showed a man whose face was disfigured as He was panicking and was looking through every personal care product.

???: Come on! Where is it!?!?

He threw all the products and looked at the mirror in fear as he covered his face until he heard someone opening the door as the man began yelling.

???: Close the door!!

John: Woah, Woah! It's me, Matt.

???: I SAID CLOSE THE DOOR!!!

John immediately shut the door as Matt was looking at the mirror before he said to his friend while feeling scared.

Matt: John, You gotta help me! I can't go out like this!

John: The face cream? You used up your last jolt yesterday. . .

Matt: No! I gotta have more! Now! See, it wore off! Look! I can't fix it anymore!

John: Relax, Matt.

Matt: Don't tell me to relax, you idiot! I can't go out there like this!

John sighed and pulled out a small jar off his pockets as Hagen saw the jar and snatched it from his hand and began using the cream on his face as it revealed his true face.

Matt Hagen is a famous movie star, However Hagen has developed a serious addiction to "Renuyu", a dangerous experimental chemical developed by Daggett's laboratories, which allows him to reform his facial features into any appearance he wants.

The chemical is necessary to cover the disfigurement he suffered in a car accident years before, and which he has kept secret from the public.

John has been extremely worried about his addiction, Matt noticed the cream was done as he looked at John.

Matt: Huh!? That's all?

John: I was lucky I could hang onto that much.

Matt: You were holding out on me?

John: I had to Matt. If I didn't, you wouldn't have anything now! . . . You can't go on like this, Matt. You hurt all the time now.

Matt: You're just my stand-in, John Nobody promoted you to nurse me!

John: That stuff makes your face like putty. It can't be good for ya.

Matt: It probably ain't good for me, but unless I only want to do horror pictures, it ain't bad for me either.

Matt looked at the jar as he clutched it in anger and said something.

Matt: Gone! Empty! Only 24 hours!

Hagen threw the jar at the mirror as the mirror broke while John stepped back and looked at Matt.

Matt: Then. . . it starts all over again!

John: Matt, please calm down. . . besides, where were you last night? You didn't answer my calls or messages.

Matt: I was. . . In a meeting.

John: What kind of meeting-

Assistant Director: Mr. Hagen, we're waiting.

Matt sighed and walked away as John looked concerned before he decided to follow his friend.

Meanwhile, Anne was seen in the batcave as She was looking at the batcomputer while trying to identify a criminal, She was investigating what happened in the abandoned warehouse last night.

She found some clues and might know someone who could tell her what happened at the warehouse.

Anne: Come on. . . I know my fist has landed on that jaw once before. . .

She scanned the face again until someone was shown as Anne looked at it.

Anne: Bell. Raymond Bell. Now I remember him. Carries a pocket radio tuned to police band at all times.

Anne looked at the computer until she heard someone walking as She saw Bucky, but he looked really angry.

Bucky: Anne, did you see the news?

Anne: No? What happened?

Barnes threw a newspaper on the table as Anne picked it up and began reading the newspaper.

"Weapons Trader, Dave Smith hospitalised. Dave says that Ex HYDRA Assassin Bucky Barnes assaulted him and stole a weapons crate from him. "

"Mayor Real sends Gotham's Strike Team to look all over Gotham to capture the Assassin"

Anne looked shocked as Bucky sat down and looked upset as Anne looked at him.

Anne: Seriously?

Bucky: Someone is setting me up again, I didn't do anything!

Anne: Who did it, though? . . .

Bucky: Is that even a question? Now everyone thinks of me as the bad guy again!

Anne: Hey, calm down. We will figure it out-

Bucky: I can't! I'm getting tired of all of this, I'm just trying to make things better-

Anne: I said calm down, James.

Bucky was silent but still looked upset as He moved back to the chair and looked at Anne as Winters said something.

Anne: You were with me that night, I believe you. Rage is not gonna lead us anywhere.

Bucky just shook his head and looked at the ground, Anne could tell he still felt angry deep down, and he felt hurt by getting framed for something he never did when he's trying to redeem himself.

Anne: Look, We are gonna find out who framed you, Right now, I got a clue that might lead us to the imposter.

Bucky: Raymond Bell?

Anne: Exactly, He was there that night, but he escaped before we could find him.

Bucky: Then let's go find him.

He took a deep breath and looked at the batcomputer, as Anne was staring at him until she slowly reached for his vibranium hand.

Anne: Listen, We are gonna fix together, okay?

Bucky looked at her and realised that he was a bit too angry after he found out that he was framed, He began having memories of his years in HYDRA as he grabbed Anne's hand and continued looking at the ground while feeling a bit calm.

It was eight p.m as It showed Daggett's Laboratory as there was a supply of Renuyu around the table, Someone opened the door to the room as it revealed who it was.

Matt was looking around the room until he saw the jars full of Renuyu, Hagen rushed towards the jar as his face was starting to disfigure as he reached his hand for the clay.

He began rubbing it all over his face but unknown to him, three people entered the laboratory who was Raymond Bell and Germs who is Bell's partner.

Germs: Hold it right there!

Raymond: Turn around! Real slow! Step into the light where we can see you!

Matt was scared and worried until he had an idea to scare both Raymond and Germs as he changed his face to pose as Bucky and slowly walked towards the light.

Matt, who was pretending to be Bucky, stared at the duo, but instead, they laughed while Matt was starting to feel nervous.

Raymond: The infamous Bucky Barnes, huh? Yeah, right. Sure, We don't recall an assassin taking Renuyu from us.

Germs: We don't recall him taking a haircut either.

Raymond and Germs smiled at each other and slowly began walking towards Matt who got scared and tried to step back until they both grabbed him as Matt was screaming.

Matt: Let me go!

Raymond: Looking for more of those stuff, huh?

Raymond and Germs began pushing each jar of Renuyu as Matt was shocked and tried to break free but they continued holding him while destroying every jar as the Renuyu was inside the drain.

Matt: No!!!

Matt was shocked by seeing all the Renuyu go down the drainage as Hagen managed to break free and tried to run away until Bell and Germs managed to tackle him again.

Raymond: You want more of that?

Germs: Then be our guest.

Germs picked up a big jar of Renuyu as Matt was shocked, That jar was too much for him.

Matt: No No No, Not like that!

Raymond: *Laughs* Sweet Dreams, Slime Ball!!

Germs poured it all over Matt as Hagen was screaming while Bell and Germs continued laughing.

Soon, The duo were seen holding Matt's corpse as they got in the car and placed him on the driver's seat as they both smiled and walked away.

But unknown to them, Something was happening to Matt's corpse. . . .

A/N: Thank you so much for reading and stay strong!!! :)
