To Be A Superhero (on hold)

Chapter 1- The new superheros in town

Scarlett's P.O.V

Stupid alarm clock. Why can't you sleep in for once? I got up and moved over to my walk in closet to look for the victim of the day; my outfit.

I rummaged through my closet and pulled out a white v-neck tee, black slightly torn up skinny jeans and some boots that laces up and went to mid-calf. After I took a shower, dried my long black hair and brushed my teeth, I grabbed an apple and my black leather jacket and headed out of the door for work. I went to the parking garage of my apartment complex and got on my baby. Along with many other hobbies I love to fix and build vehicles. I say vehicles because my ride is not a car but a Suzuki Hayabusa. Actually I built it but it looks exactly like it but with a few moderations. Instead of just going 248 mph it can go the full 300, it also has slick seats and a black paint job. I also made it so it only makes a silent hum sound no matter how fast or slow you go. There is also a compartment under the seat for storage. I only did that because, well, I'm a girl.

As I sped to my office I couldn't help notice how scarce our city was. Where is everyone? My question was answered when my phone began to ring. I touched the button on my earpiece.

" Hello? " I greeted the mystery person.

" Hey, It's me, " ah another mystery solved.

" Aaron, whats up? "

" Scarlett, there's some trouble at the bank on West Ave, can you get here soon? "

" I'm on my way, " i pressed the button again to end the call and turned my bike around to drive towards the West Ave bank. Three minutes later and i was getting off my bike and getting my gun and badge out of my seat compartment. What do I do for a living you ask? Well I am a detective and undercover police woman for the Rockwell City Police.

I caught up with Aaron and before I could say anything Aaron gave me the run-down.

" She-Cat has robbed the bank, but is still trapped inside with a hostage. " Oh-no. Not another genetically mutated bad guy. I hate them; they change their DNA so that they can get money or fame, but it backfires and the end up as a low-life criminal. And speaking of low-life criminals, She-Cat herself had just walked out of the bank with a young boy and a bag of money. So cliche.

" Let me go or the boy gets it. " A woman shrieked so i guess that's his mother.

" Not a chance, She-Kitty, now let the little boy go. " I said as I took a step forward.

" Ha-ha, " she mock laughed " no. Besides what could you do about it, human? " Huh, if she only knew.

" I'm going to give you to the count of three to let the boy go, She-Cat. " i  looked her in the eye.

" One, " I took a step forward.

" Two, " I raised m gun.

" Three, " an unknown voice answered above me. I looked up to see Nitro floating in the air, lifting his hand and aiming it at She-Cat. No! I thought and took off sprinting towards She-Cat and the boy. Just as the red energy bolt was going to hit them, I grabbed the boy and fell on the ground so that I was on top of him. This way I could protect him if another bolt was sent out.

I looked over to my left and there laid an unconscious She-Cat. I was so infuriated that i just ot up and walked down the steps of the bank to be stopped by an lady.

" My baby! Oh thank you, " I smiled at her about to say it was only part of the job when she finished, " Nitro. "

Nitro?! Really?! He almost barbecued your freaking son you insane woman! I brushed by her chanting over and over about how she could never repay him for his kindness, blah blah blah. Aaron came over to me and almost shrank down to the size of an ant when he saw my face.

1) My face and hair were most likely a mess and 2) the look I had on my face was anything but friendly.

" Call me if you need something, " I grumbles through my teeth and stormed off to my bike. In my haste to get there i was almost trampled by a group of girls in t-shirts that said: ' We Love Nitro!'.

Great. So he has a fan club too. Just perfect.

I turned my bike towards an alley because the streets were now littered with most of the population of the city. They were most likely here to congratulate Mr. I'm-the-coolest-superhero-ever on his 'job well done'. Luckily I glanced up in time to see that there was a person in the middle of the very tiny alley. I put on the brakes and all but fell over as I skitted to a stop.

" I'm so sorry I wasn't looking, I- " I cut myself off when I saw who the person was. " Oh, it's you. Well then nevermind. "

" What do you mean by that? " Nitro asked me with a pretty sexy voice. Well, annoyingly sexy I should say.

" It means, that I'm taking back my sorry, " I half growled.

" Now why would you say that? " He asked in a fake hurt tone while smirking.

" 'Cause you don't deserve it. "

He fake gasped, " Is that any way to treat a superhero, miss? "

" No but it's a way to treat a d*ckhead. " I retorted.

He looked surprised and now it was my turn to smirk. I gently turned my bike around and parked it right outside of the alley. I looked back to see him following me while still staying in the shadows.

" What are you doing? "

" You'll see. " I grinned evilly as I turned back to where all of the people were.

" Hey! " I yelled. About two-hundred heads turned to look at me, " I found Nitro! " i screamed as loud as I could.

I turned around to Nitro with a triumphed smile on my face. 

" Bye. " I turned away from him, hopped on my bike and rode away from the lustful crowd. I know they won't be able to catch him, but they will keep him busy. He has to keep a reputation up; he can't turn down the people.

I smiled as I rode down the streets. Aaron would call if he needed me so that means I was free to go home to my comfy little apartment.

I sighed and kicked off my shoes immediately after i walked in the door. I was so tired of all of the superheros doing this. they always got in the way of our job; stopping the criminal when we were about to. It wasn't fair, that they take down the bad guys that we could handle. Their job was to handle the guys with super powers and we would handle the rest. She-Cat did have powers but we could have handled her.

You see there is a reason why I am so high in my department. I was the most experienced in the art of fighting bad guys. I went over to my answering machine and pressed play. An all too familiar voice came out of the speakers.

" Hey Scarlett it's me Frank. Listen I just wanted to call to say that we could really use you back here on the Gaurd Squad. " That was the lame name that the superheroes of this city called their team, " Gangster is starting to grow in numbers and were short handed. " really? what about all of those lame new heroes like mistress flame or the black raven? " Anyway just think about it and give me a call. We really need you. " I scoffed. Yeah right! I don't want to be there. Plus they didn't need me!

Little did I know how wrong I was.
