To Be A Superhero (on hold)

To Be A Superhero

    Crap. I thought as Electro shot a lighting bolt to my partner. I charged him forgetting about my own fight, as I slashed him with the claws i just shifted into. He barely jumped out of the reach of my arms but I quickly retaliated by kicking him in the chest sending him back a couple of feet.

    I remembered my own fight from before and turned to advance on Pitch when i saw she wasn't there. Instead she was now fighting Element, my partner. I shifted to a tiger and began to pounce on her when she turned her head and screamed sending me back fifty feet. i shifted into the only thing i could think of at the moment.

    As i landed my back i skitted a little before the ridges on my turtle shell stopped me. My normal human form was the one i took next. Stupid bad guys, i thought, why do they have too be strong too? I looked up only to see Element get blown back a couple of feet by Pitch. i was so distracted by there fight i didn't see Electro come up from behind me.

     I looked all around me. Pitch and Electro were now acompanied with the devil himself; Gangster.

   " We're going to really enjoy this. " Gangster said simply then all of them got tense about to strike. It all happened in slow motion after that. About nid-strike Element had jumped in front so that their attack hit him instead of me. My eyes were as big as saucers as Element fell to the ground. Gangster, Electro and Pitch all looked into the sky and then ran away.

    I crawled over to where Element laid and looked down over his form. They had put all they had into attempted to get to me and Element had paid the price. I grabbed Elements hand and squeezed letting the tears fall down my face. A hand was placed on my shoulder and i looked up to the green eyes of Flashpoint. I looked back down at Element and silently made a promise to myself. I got up from where i was and fled into a close by alley ignoring Flashpoints attempt to call me.

My partner was just killed because of me and I could only think of one thing to do, which was to make a vow; I will never again be a superhero.
