Gravity Heroes

Chapter 62

The Diablo was moving through the streets of Gravity Falls, racing towards the hospital. In the front seats were Ford, Dipper, and Wildbill. The back held Mabel and Pacifica with an unconscious Asian female teen across the laps.

"Ok, so let me get this straight. You were fighting a guy who claims you are the reincarnation of his eternal enemy and you ex," Ford said not taking his eyes off the road.

"Student, she was my student, nothing more.", Wildbill said curtly with the knuckles on his right hand turning white from the way Ford was driving.

"Fighting you immortal enemy and your ex-student, when she showed up", Ford said flicking his thumb back at the young girl in the back, "and joined the fight helping even the odds."

"Yeah, she has some water based powers and it really neutralized Colleen or as she was calling herself, Hot Shot's powers.", Wildbill replied, now worried he was going to rip the door handle off the way Ford was driving. The only one who seemed unfazed by Ford's driving was Mabel and that's cause she was muttering some type of incantation to slow down her bleeding and keep the girl's body from going into shock.

"Wait, Hot Shot? That's what the guy who tried to kill me to get back at Mabel called himself," Pacifica said as she looked up from the girl whose head was in Mabel's lap.

"Yeah, apparently they're not to creative when it comes to names or powers.", Wildbill replied through gritted teeth as Ford somehow managed to get the Diablo around a little sports car before the pickup coming the other way would have hit them.

Dipper thought for a moment back to the last time he was in such a harrowing ride. Remembering he asked, "Grunkle Ford when did you last drive a car?"

"Uhm, Nineteen-Eighty-One.", Ford said as he swerved into the drive closest to the Emergency Room entrance, "Stan does the driving."

As Ford pulled up to the entrance Wildbill hopped out of the Diablo and practically ripped open the back door. Dipper ran into the ER and told the charge nurse they had a bleeding accident victim that was found on a hiking trail and they needed a stretcher.

A nurse rushed back out with Dipper and a stretcher. Wildbill loaded Tsunami onto it and the nurse rushed her inside.

"Paz you head on in, I'll be there in a second.", Mabel said as she reached over and held Pacifica's hand, "Just gonna make sure Grunkle Ford doesn't wreck the car while trying to park."

"Alright, I'll be inside making sure your brother doesn't try to tell the Doctor what to do.", Pacifica said with a smirk and a wink before she got out of the car.

Ford pulled the car away and headed towards the parking lot, "So why did you really stay with me?"

"Something Dipper said earlier made me think," Mabel said with a shrug, "We are in a new school and if we're really going to be doing this, we're going to want to be at our best. I'm gonna pop back to the Shack and grab our backpacks so we can do our school work. If I'm going to use my powers to their utmost abilities I'm going to need to understand how things work better and to do that I'm going to need to study."

Pines house

Adam returned back to the house not too long after he finished giving a report to the police about the incident he happened upon. He was praised by several people he had helped get out of their cars. Most were trapped do to the fight causing a small pileup. He also seemed to have gotten some admirers thanks to him risking his life to help the two that seemed to be heroes by slamming his tire-iron across the villains skull. It seemed as if no one remembered what happened after the villains had disappeared. Most seemed to think the injured girl that Mabel and William took with them was killed by the blast that happened when the villains disappeared. He just hoped they had got her the help she needed in time.
