Not another SuperHero #1

16. Your life matters.

I held onto her hand trying to get the strength to pull her up.
Suddenly she started slipping out of my hands.
"Let me go!" She yelled.
"No I can't do that!" I struggled to say.
Somehow I knew at that moment exactly how much strength I had as I stared at the cars passing not giving a damn.

I built up my strength I had and pulled backwards throwing her on top of the building on top of me.
"Why'd you do that!" She yelled crying standing up looking at me in my suit sadly.
"I wanna go!" She cried.
"No Jessica stop." I said in a vibrating voice still.

"My life has no meaning why would you do this to me!" She yelled at me while she sat and cried.
"Why would you say that?" I asked as I squatted and sat on my feet.
"Nothings interesting about me, these things have powers, and they hate me." She said quietly.

I had to really think about what I was going to do next. She told as I walked over to her as she stared at the sidewalk.
I stood with her as I looked in her eyes. I could tell she really wanted to do it.
She really wanted to kill herself. I got chills at the thought.

I wanted to show her who I was so badly but I'd have to risk my identity being found out if she told anyone.
I looked at her eyes again as I seen hw much she wanted it to end.
How self centered am I to think about my secret and not her life I thought.

"Your the most interesting person I've ever met." I said in a vibrated voice.
"But you don't even know me." She said looking at me confused.
"Yea I do." I said in a normal voice.
"Is that your normal voice?" She said confused.
"Yea, and I'm just like you." I said honestly.
"No I'm a nobody your a super hero." She said fast.

"I'm not a hero." I said now upset a bit.
"What are you talking about of course you are?" She got offensive.
My hands went up to my mask as I thought fastly.
A million thoughts rushing through my mind as my fingers got underneath my mask.
I slowly pulled the mask up slowly exposing my mouth then my nose then my eyes.
After I knew she could see my eyes I pulled it all the way off my face pulling my hair out.

"Honestly, I'm not a hero." I said looking down at my feet.
"EMMA!" She yelled.
"What's going on, wait, what, w-, is this a dream? You can't be her! Right? Say you can't! Wait this would explain things!" She rushed blurting out.

"Um okay, calm down." I said still upset about the hero part.
"No! I chat calm down you the fucking Flare!" She yelled.
"Wait, your the Flare!" She yelled again rethinking.
"This is impossible, oh my god!" She yelled.
Then her face got mad.
"Why didn't you tell me! This time angry.

"Okay, Stop jess." I said trying to calm her down.
"I'm your best-friend, why didn't you tell me." She said crying.
"Jess stop." I said hugging her as she cried.
"Why would you hide this from me?" She asked backing up from the hug.

"There's bad people out there, and I trust you so much but, I couldn't risk you telling anybody." I said as she somehow understood.
"Are you okay?" I asked scared she would try something again.
"Yea, Yea I'm okay, I think." She said wiping her tears.
"Don't you get hurt a lot?" She asked.
"Yes, and you don't need to be showing up to my crime senes just to write your blog." I said.

"Then tell me what I should write in it and I'll write it." She said smiling.
I wanted to go ahead and tell her to not write it but she had a smile and I didn't want to take that away from her.
"Okay but let's get you home first. Smiled and put my mask back on.
