The small two seater car screamed down the road, the wrong way down the road. People screamed as other cars swerved onto the walkways; some cars hitting people, others crashing into poles and parked cars.
This reaction makes more sense when you realize what everyone sees is a runaway stake bed truck barreling down the street.The man driving laughed like a hyena on nitrous oxide, he swerved towards a crowded bus stand and found it hilarious as they drove out of the way.
Turning the corner he sent a thought to the mask and the truck illusion shifted into a motorcycle. His own face changing to a hirsute man,his laughing stopped as he heard his phone ring. Sighing he slowed his speed as he turned hard into a service alley.
He abandoned the bike, which quickly changed back to the small car. Answering the phone he flinched at the voice on the other end."Where are you!" Laverna yelled. "Out for a drive and practicing.""I knew it! You're causing all that mayhem downtown! Get back here now!"
"Why? Noone can see me. The real me at least.""The power you're throwing around will attract attention, the kind you are not prepared for yet.""You mean that other guy? Don't worry about him. He is nothing." He walked up to a car & with a small effort was in and driving.
"What did you do?" She hissed."I just went to see him, to see the enemy. I was not impressed so I took my shot.""By the gods you are a fool.""Maybe, I didn't expect someone to jump in to save him.""What?""Yeah some tiny guy with a mustache."
"Fuck. Walfrus. Get back here immediately and cause no more chaos.""What? Are you afraid of the runt guy?Laverna's voice chilled his blood "You would be wise to not underestimate Walfrus or his friends. The fact you are not ended now is a minor miracle. Return. Now."
"Ok, ok. I will be back shortly. I will only stop to get some food.""I said.."Her words were cut off as he hung up. "Whatever. I'm hungry."
