A Thousand Lives

Chapter 10: Destruction

Adola looked at Alvara in the back seat between Kirishima and Sokka. 'Remind me again how you got mixed up in this?'

'How I - you gave me that flipping invitation! That's how!' she yelled.

'Ladies, ladies, the fight's over!' Bakugou smirked. 'Just sit back and relax.'

He made a sharp turn and Adola hit the door.

'How do you call this relaxing?' she demanded.

'You'll see!'

Suddenly, more cars appeared around them.

'They're following us!?' Alvara exclaimed and looked at Adola. 'How badly do these people want to buy you?!'

'She's the youngest billionaire alive, of course people want to buy her.' Kirishima rolled his eyes, holding onto Bakugou's seat for dear life.

'Wait, youngest billionaire?' Alvara looked at Adola with wide eyes.

Adola turned red and sank in her seat. 'It's nothing, let's just focus on not getting caught right now.'

'On it!' Bakugou said and turned the wheel. They ended up driving backwards, face to face with their opponents.

They derived in and out of alleys but couldn't shake their adversaries.

'I think I'm gonna puke,' Sokka grunted.

'Please don't,' Kirishima said. 'You're not the one that'll have to clean it up.'

'You asshole!' Alvara screamed at Bakugou. 'If I die, I'll come back from the dead and kill you!'

'I can second that!' Adola yelped from her point of clutching onto the dash as if her life depended on it.

'Look out!' Sokka yelled as a huge man-hole came into view.

'We can jump it!' Bakugou announced.

'No you can't!' Adola screamed.

'Yes we can!'

'We?!' Alvara yelled. 'Who said anything about weee - AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!'

They flew into the air over a ramp in the construction sight, the large trench seemed like nothing but a crack in the sidewalk.

They landed safely and looked back as the cars pursuing them stopped. The bidders drove off into an alley, looking for a way around the trench.

'I'M GONNA KILL YOU!' Alvara screamed at Bakugou.

'That's it!' Adola announced. 'I'm driving!'

'No time for that,' Bakugou started the engine again and went to press the gas pedal when Adola stood up and grabbed the steering wheel.

She sat on Bakugou's lap and turned the key.

'Um -' Bakugou looked at the boys in the back uncertainty.

'Oh swallow your pride and suck it up buttercup! You're under me now deal with it!' Adola snarled. 'Do you wanna die or not!?'

She stamped on the gas pedal and sped down the street.

'Look out!' Kirishima exclaimed as a blockade of bidders came into view, most of them had guns.

'My question is how are you driving with only one eye?' Bakugou asked, looking at Adola's bleeding and closed eye.

'Shut the fuck up and let me concentrate,' she spat.

'Says the one sitting on me,' he grunted.

Adola shot him a fierce glance and he clamped his mouth shut.

'How are we going to get past?' Alvara asked Adola as she pressed the brakes.

'Run over them,' she said like it was obvious.

'Oh that makes - wait WHAT?!'

'Everyone hold onto something!' Adola cackled and stamped hard on the gas again.

Everyone screamed as she sped over the concrete to the blockade. The bidders ran when they realized she wasn't going to stop and they crashed over the cars, clearly making a break for it.

They stopped a couple of blocks away.

'You - are - psycho.' Alvara panted to Adola.

'If I got a dime every time someone called me that, I'd be broke.' Adola said and got out, stretching.

Suddenly she jumped into the air with a whoop. 'That was the best night of my life!!!!'

'You just got kidnapped and got a heart attack by a crazy driver and gave everyone else a stroke,' Alvara recited. 'And that was the best night of your life!?'
