Superchic(k)iller

Continuing to hear the ever so

annoying Celeste 2 . I began to feel my

eyes get filled with a silver-like

substance that looked like a glass

getting filled with cloudy water. I tried

getting up only to meet the tip of a gun

half way up. " oh no you don't. I read up

on everything you are capable of. Try

anything stupid and you wont like the

result ."

Not caring about a single gunshot

wound. That even at this distance I

could heal from. I continued to move my

arms. Hoping they weren't dislocated

too. Lucky the right one wasn't .(which

is my favorite one) But before I could

check the left one(second favorite one)

the gun went off.

At first I thought "ok I was shot so

what. It wouldn't be the first time."

Even though I did flinch , I began moving

again.

But something weird happened. I

started to feel the Quicksilver retract

from my eyes as if a glass was being

filled in reverse, and everything wasn't

as bright or in slow motion as it is

when the quicksilver leaks into my eyes.

Which made the psycho chick laugh

even louder at how stupid I looked.

"What you thought we would kill the

most valuable government weapon in

the whole SBA (Superhuman Bounty

Agency 'n case you forgot) facility and

relax the shot is only temporary .

"Well then your not as smart as

they said you are. Your probably the

most idiotic and easiest objective I've

ever had to take on."

ha! She has no idea. Just keep talking

Celeste 2 so that I have time to think this

through and find something else to use around me

since you somehow was able to disable

the nano-bots in my blood stream. What,

does she not know that I'm just putting

on a show until I can think of something.

There to the right of me . One of the

candles are still lit, and not too far

from that is the champagne I had

bought.

Good thing it was cheap 'cause the

glass would have shattered if it was

real (don't judge me). I only had a few

hundred bucks on me. But, I can't just

randomly reach for the bottle and

candle.

Since my powers don't work and I'm

pretty sure this person has

superpowers too. Probably how she was

able to copy Celeste's exact features.

So I'm guessing she can shape shift into

different people. Hopefully not animals

too. Wouldn't want her to change into

a cobra while I try moving. I'm sure she

would have changed by now, but can't

be too safe.

So I did what had to be done. I

played along. " you bitch!!". "Ha, you

sound like my ex-boyfriend before I

stuffed his hand down his throat and

threw him into the brook not too long

ago."

You hear this chic. She really is

insane. Shouldn't take her lightly.

Trying to Keep my head down and began

to rub my stomach. I made groaning and

snorting sounds. "awe, did I huwt yo

tummy little boy," she said as if she was

talking to a baby.

For that moment she had taken her

eyes off mine and onto my stomach. As

quickly as possible lifted my head,

shooting a huge loogy at her eyes. Then

grabbed the champagne splashing that

on her. And then took the candle and

through it at her torso. Of course it

happened a lot faster than it sounds

and Within seconds she was lit'n up

faster than any forest fire I'd seen

from the foot up.

Trying to pat the fire from her

chest the flames began to consume her

clothing. Before she could begin to

scream. I was already out the room and

half way down the hall onto the

staircase.

Soon after I left the few

steps leading to the lobby. I could see

the front desk woman talking with some

men in black suits and dark shades

where it reflected a mirror image of

her.

One had turned and I saw my own

reflection. As he yelled, "there he is!!".

I was running up the flights again. Then

I was back where I started in the hall

and there standing right outside my

room was a burnt looking Ms. Celeste.

Who had half her hair burnt off. And

badly burnt skin.

" That is a really obvious tan you

have there," I said with sarcasm . She

then smiled and said, " you think so,

well... I kind of like it." " oh yes, it really

compliments your hair," I said with even

more sarcasm.

Reaching her left hand

into what was left of her purse. She

pulled out a combat knife saying " let's

play!"
