Get our the butter because we're gonna get you out of that air vent(iykyk)
Everyone gets stuck. You get in a jam, it happens, but you don't want to stay there. So what can you do to get out of your writers block?
You can write ahead. You can re-write the chapter (while still keeping the original), or you can trouble shoot to see where you're slowing down. There are many ways to solve your block, and we'll be exposing them.
Writing ahead may seem like your throwing progress into the trash, but if you've just finished the washington monument scene in Spider-Man: homecoming, or your character hit a huge climax, write the next two chapters, it will literally force you to connect them somehow, and it gets you unstuck.
Now if it doesn't help for you, try making this next chapter living hell for your OC. But don't force it.
Make it suck. Everything good you have planned for them, let them enjoy it, let them love it, then destroy it.
Make them miserable.
It adds character development, a good, unique plot, annnnnnddddd, helps your readers understand how your OC deals with this kinda stuff, and if none of this helps just remember there's always Pinterest.
And if Pinterest doesn't work out for ya, all you have to do is think. I always think of my plot when I'm bored. If I'm at school and we can't have our phones, I think of plot lines. When I'm in the shower, I think of plot lines. When I'm trying to sleep...guess what I do...
think of plot lines.
And even when I'm trying to sleep I'll get ideas and have to write them down. Not all my techniques are guaranteed to help, but they do for me. All you have to do is find something that works for you. I go on walks, or just ask a friend for help, and if you wanna keep your identity safe, then just say it's for an English project or something!

Also, have a conversation with your character. It helps you understand them and you get ideas out of nowhere. If that doesn't help, put them back in time. Write about something, anything!
Think of anything going good for your OC, then ruin it. Can anything go wrong? Good. Write every scenario.
Nothing could go wrong? That's a lie. Introduce your OCs villain, wether they're human or just a enternal demon. Make your OC meet someone who seemed to be innocent and they're the villain, or vise-versa. Maybe they don't have powers and figure out they do.
