Hero 3:Criminal

Deja Vu

Once again I'm stuck in a situation where I can't let Roxanne shoot someone. I have no idea what I'm going to do this time. I don't even know if I can convince her to stop.

"NightWave as much as this guy deserves to die you can't kill him. Just think about the consequences and what will happen after." I talked to her calmly trying to reason with her. I also had to use a superhero names. I didn't want someone like Frank Chester knowing our real names. As I was talking to her I started moving closer. Slowly taking a step.

"You should listen to your boyfriend here girl." Frank stupidly said.

"OI YOU SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU." I yelled at him before Roxanne could react to him. Still slightly moving closer trying not to let Roxanne notice me. She looked at me and turned her body. One side of her body facing me the other facing Frank. She could shoot either of us faster than I could run to her. I couldn't risk anything happening.

"Don't try to move closer Evan. I won't hesitate to kill you. Also I've been thinking about the consequences. The conclusion I've come to is that this prick will keep hurting people, ruining more live's and just plain old killing people. The longer he is alive the more people get hurt by him." Roxanne argued. I noticed she used my real name which I guess I have to ignore. She did have a good point that's the thing. Even I don't know if I fully agree with what I'm saying or what she is saying. I just have to trust my gut on this.

"If you kill him it'll start a whole war between crime fighter's and police. What about them? What do you say about that?" I asked her. Either way this situation isn't a win win. Quite the opposite actually.

"They chose to wear costume's and risk their live's in situation's like this. It's their own fault. Just like how this is also your own fault." She said to me. Then pointed the gun at me and shot both my leg's. I dropped to the ground like a ton of brick's. She then pointed to Frank. I screamed and shouted at her to stop. There was nothing I could do but watch. Watch as she pulled the trigger and killed Frank. The bullet went straight through his head. The war has just begun. Roxanne started walking toward's me. She stood right at me. I was still lying on the ground unable to stand on my leg's. There was blood all over the floor. She pointed the gun at my head.

"I really didn't want to kill you but I know that if I don't you won't stop till you catch me. I can't let you stop me now. Plus honestly I think your just as bad as the criminal's. You keep them alive so what's stopping them from causing more harm. So I'm sorry to do this but it has to be done." She explained to me how she thought she was doing the right thing. How she think's she is the hero. While she was talking to me I noticed something at the wall way at the back of the room. Behind Roxanne the wall had a window but it suddenly came open. Someone was out there opening it. Who was out there trying to get in through the window. Then I saw him climb through silently. It was Ryan. He actually came after I asked him for help. He sneaked behind Roxanne.

"Hey pick on someone that can actually stand up you bully." Ryan proudly said as he grabbed Roxanne and pushed her away from me. Ryan then ran toward's her tackling her onto a glass table. Breaking the table there was glass everywhere. They were both lying on their back's. I couldn't do anything at all to help Ryan. Roxanne was the first to get up. She kneeled over Ryan and started punching him while he was lying on the ground. All Ryan could do was block her attack's. He had his eye's closed so I'm guessing got glass in them. While Roxanne was beating the living hell out of Ryan I noticed that she didn't have her gun anywhere near her. She must've dropped it somewhere. I need to find it. I tried looking around the room. Very limited with my movement's since I couldn't move my leg's. The good thing was I had adrenaline rushing through my body so I barely felt the bullet hole's in my leg's. I saw the gun. It was right in front of me. I just have to reach out and grab it. I try but no matter how hard I try to stretch my arm out I can't reach it. I turn to see what's happening with Ryan and Roxanne. She was still punching Ryan. At this point Ryan just gave up and let her continue. I have to get the gun before it's too late. I grab the carpet desperately trying to pull my self closer. I manage to get just that bit closer. Just enough to reach the gun. I pick it up point it at Roxanne and BANG! I shot Roxanne.

"ARRGH! You shot my shoulder but why. You had the chance to kill me why didn't you." Roxanne asked. At least now she stopped fighting.

"Because I've killed enough people already and don't need more on my conscious. Also it's because I'm not the bad guy you think I am. Now get out of here before I shoot you again. If I ever see you again I might not be so nice." I answered. She got off of Ryan and walked out of the room. It was just me and Ryan lying there. Speechless. I heard more glass cracking and saw that Ryan was standing up. While he was walking over to me I saw his face. It was so bruised and bloody I barely could recognise him.

"Come on we have to get out of here before the police come." He said while lifting me up and letting me lean on him while we stumbled out of the room. One hand was holding me up right since I could barely stand let alone walk but we were managing. Then his other hand went to his ear.

"Wade what's the best way out of here." Ryan asked. Then I realised he had an ear peace. He and Wade worked together to find me. They saved me. They both came back when I needed them the most. We ended up getting out before the cop's came. I don't know what happened to the other's that we left. Hopefully they aren't dead. We didn't really have anywhere to go so we just went to Ryan's place. We walked in and he laid me down on the couch. Wade met us there shortly after. While Wade was bandaging me up Ryan was washing his face in the bathroom. Suddenly the front door opened. Emma walked in and saw me full costume covered in blood. Ryan walked out of the bathroom with half his face covered in blood and the other half all wet from him washing it. We explained to Emma what we were doing and at first she was pissed off. She finally thought about it more and realised we could do more then what the police could do. Not saying police don't do a lot already but they still have strict rule's. Superheroe's don't have those kind of rule's. So she took it well in the end. She did want us to stop though. I thought about it but if I stop what do I have left.
