Stephanie blinked after being blinded by the light, shaking her head a little.

Suddenly, without warning, she started falling through the air, shrieking out of startlement.

Automatically, Stephanie's sweater slowly melted off from her body like water as she continued falling through the air, before attaching itself to her wrists and ankles, turning itself into a parachute.

Stephanie yelped again as she bounced up in the air after her parachute-like sweater puffed up, causing her to sigh.

"Holy snickers, that was close." she sighed with relief.

Slowly, she reached concrete after being flung through the air, landing safely on the ground on her feet, as the parachute slowly morphed back into her sweater, like liquid.

As her sweater transformed back into itself, Stephanie glanced down at the orb in her hands she had as she was falling.

Ever since she had fixed it from being broken, it somehow blinded her after beeping and blinking a red color.

If only she had not pushed that button...

Ignoring her stupid move from earlier, she placed the orb into her sweater pocket.

After placing the orb back into her sweater's pocket, she had a feeling that something was... off.

She glanced around from where she was and slowly noticed that she was standing in the middle of a city.

But this city looked deserted, as there was no one else around.

Something is off about this place.

Before Stephanie could look for someone, something suddenly crashed in front of her.

It caused rubble to fly at her from where she was and brought up some dust.

Yelping, she jolted three feet off the ground before landing on her feet, noticing it was a cannonball.

The cannonball was sizzling hot and made a dent in the street's concrete.

Stephanie looked confused to see a cannonball in front of her until her super hearing heard more cannon shots and glanced over to the right-hand side.

Whizzing through the air, Stephanie could see a long line of cannonballs heading towards where she was standing, as she noticed it was a city.

"Holy schnikes!" Stephanie exclaimed before moving to the side in a quick move, ducking just in time before a cannonball landed on her.

After dodging a little, Stephanie noticed that more cannonballs were heading towards the city, and she groaned.

"I have no time for this!" Stephanie snapped, before summoning a baseball bat out of thin air and grasping it in her hand.

It was silver as the handle was wrapped in black bandages.

Stephanie positioned herself to hit one of the cannonballs as it got closer and closer to where she was.

"Batter up!" Stephanie smirked before hitting the cannonball as hard as she could with the bat.

After one swing, Stephanie sent it back over to where someone was shooting it from the other side of the city.

Once she had hit the cannonball, something crashed in the distance, causing her to perk a little from the sound.

Not only that, but she heard voices speaking from a distance, too.

Since she has super-hearing, Stephanie could hear the noises of a fly miles away from where she is standing.
