Not Your Kind of Superheroes (Heroteria Chronicles #1)

Chapter 37: Johnny B. Goode

Note: When Nova is describing each character's battle o kung paano sila lumaban, it doesn't mean na wala siyang ginagawa o nakatunganga lang siya. She's just describing how the others are fighting para magkaroon ng spotlight ang ibang characters at hindi lang puro siya ang nakikita niyong lumalaban.

Never expect Nova to be useless in battle. Lahat sila may pakinabangan sa bakbakan.

Chapter 37

Johnny B. Goode

NOVA

Tick tock, tick tock!

I heard the loud ticking of a clock somewhere while glancing around me where the world had stood frozen in time.

Leaves had stopped falling from trees, birds remain still on the air, even my own sweat is floating right in front of my eyes like gravity wasn't given a chance to pull it down.

That song is playing from the castle... what's that song? Is he... Oh my gosh, Roman played Johnny B. Goode through the speakers in the castle. It's the song where he danced in Back to the Future movie!

Napalingon ako sa harapan ko at natanto ko lang kung sino ang may kagagawan nito. Those playful and cute smile that I adore the most.

It was Roman Horatius Everett.

"I'm back to the future, baby!" Roman is riding on a motorsky in the air like a rider of the sky with a delightful smirk on his lips.

Habang nasa ere pa rin ito'y, tumayo siya sa ibabaw ng upuan ng motorsky na para bang hindi siya natatakot na mag-crash iyon. I was worried what he was planning to do, but knowing Roman, it's always troublesome.

Roman's hands are tucked in the pocket of his trench coat with his hero suit that well-defined his gorgeous shape, curve, and muscles. A clock ticking in his chest. Black mask covered around his beautiful eyes.

He took a leap from the motorsky to a missile floating in the air with his tiptoe until his feet are standing above the missile like a freaking looney tune character trying to trick his enemy.

Ngumiti ako habang pinapanuod ko siyang humahakbang sa ibabaw ng mga missile. He danced and twirled and landed on another missile frozen in the air. A smooth gentleman who knows how to sway on the explosives at ease.

Ginawa niyang hakbang ang mga missile papalapit sa akin hanggang sa nakarating siya sa harapan ko at bumaba siya sa lupa.

"Roman—"

Hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko nang maramdaman ko na lang ang malambot niyang labi na dumampi sa aking labi. Mariin niya kong hinalikan habang nakasapo ang kanyang palad sa pisngi ko.

I was breathless when he parted his lips from me.

"Did you miss me?" Roman smirked—his gorgeous heart-rushing smirk.

"I always do."

In just a blink of an eye, he's gone right in front of me. Nagulat din si Sync dahil walang nangyari sa akin, walang missile na tumama, walang pagsabog katulad ng inaasahan niya.

Sa halip na masabugan ako, the motorsky crashes near Sync like a bomb imploding into a fuel of fire. Tumalsik si Sync mula sa pwersa palayo sa akin at dumausdos sa sahig mula sa pagsabog ng motorsky sa kanya.
