On the Run

Live-Action

Japan's heroes lounged in the living room, watching tv. You were out, as per usual. They were becoming much more used to your early departures and late arrivals. They no longer wondered where you went because they knew now. You were the top hero of America, and you were a busy woman.

But they didn't know how busy you actually were.

The tv was on, running the local stations while the temporary villains talked with one another. They hadn't noticed the news until they heard about trouble.

"This is Jonah Johnson, with breaking news. Elm Street is currently being terrorized by the villain dubbed "The Hyena" for his wild laugh. It has been reported that Pro-Hero Terra is currently on the scene. We'll go to Janet for more info."

The group perked up at your hero name, and Kaminari turned up the volume.

"Thanks, Jonah. The villain dubbed "The Hyena" was found robbing multiple stores here on Elm Street, keeping hostages, and injuring civilians, for several days. He had finally been cornered by other pros, but he escaped. Pro hero Terra is fighting The Hyena, and it seems to be a cut-close battle, Jonah. We'll show live footage of the ongoing battle."

The camera panned to a big person in a cat mask, laughing maniacally. Across from them was you, the bottom half of your face covered by a black mask, and a deadly glare aimed at the villain. The microphone could not pick up on what you were saying, but the group knew it wasn't friendly. The villain laughed again, before charging at you. 

You stomped, chucking big chunks of cement at the villain with punches of your fists. The villain dodged, agile on their feet.

You traded blows, your body twisting into different kicks and moves, cables shooting from your hands. You twisted your wrist, and the cable whipped the villain, throwing them on the ground. Their lips curled into a snarl, charging at you again. Hyena extended their claws, swiping at you wildly.

With a flick of your wrists, the cables twisted in the air, wrapping around the villain. You pulled the whips tight, bringing the villain close to you. You punch them in the jaw, knocking them out.

Once the civilians got the all-clear, they poured out into the streets, cheering and thanking you. You nodded awkwardly, waving to some. Before the reporter could get to you, you were gone, along with the Hyena.

The heroes sat in awe at your power. Your prowess could rival that of Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki, the top three heroes of Japan.

"She's incredible," Kirishima whispered, and some were inclined to agree.

...

You'd arrived home, muscles aching. Today was much more jam-packed than you'd thought, with countless robberies across downtown. You were getting reports in other cities of the same thing. Your job was getting increasingly difficult. But you could handle, like every other thing happening.

Kya and Oliver giggled as they ran into the house, quick to greet their guests. They ran off to their rooms, racing each other.

"Be careful!" you warned, rolling out a knot in your shoulder.

"Hey, lady!" Kaminari greeted, resting against a wall.

"Hi," you replied, hanging up your keys and jacket.

"How was work?"

"The usual."

Kaminari nodded. "Anything exciting happen today?"

"Nope. Same old same old."

"Not even with the Hyena?"

You tilted your head. "How did you know about that?"
