I left Jake's house and began walking towards home, but I was barely five steps from his house when a police car went by, lights flshing and sirens wailing. I had absolutely no idea what was going on, but I figured I could try to help, being superpowered and all. I ran after the car and was scarcely surprised when I started running twice as fast as I usually did. I guess after the superpowers I had so far, superspeed hardly seemed odd. So I ran, keeping behind the car enough to not be noticed, but close enough to keep track of it.
It took perhaps five minutes for the police and me to arrive at what could be described as a battleground. It was a downtown four-way with lights, fire hydrant, and so on. However there were great craters in the street, chunks of dirt and asphault lying around, a broken fire hydrant spouting into the air, and several crumpled cars, some burning and apparently already exploded. There, in the middle of the street was a massive man in hi-tech armour. When I say massive, I mean he was like seven feet tall and all muscle covered by the battle armour. As I watched he shot a rocket at a police car, which exploded and sent several police men flying. "I will find town hall," the man shouted. "This city will bow to me, the Steel Lord."
It was so horrible I had to dodge into an alley to make sure he didn't see me. "He's scary," I mumbled to myself. Then I realized that if he saw me, he might be able to come back for revenge, and he might hurt mommy. There went my hopes of being a celebrity with the powers, because if I wanted to help out and not put mommy in danger, I'd have to use a disguise. Then I remembered mom always packed my balaclava so I wouldn't forget it in the winters. So I took it out of my back pack and put it on, and left my backpack in the alley. I took a deep breath then ran out into the streets at high speed, jumping over the police and their barriers and charged right at the Steel Lord. He was facing the other direction and I charged into his leg and threw him down where he landed with a crash into the road.
I stopped in the street and turned to face him as he stood up. "Well aren't you a strong little pipsqueak," he scoffed. "But I have plenty of tricks to deal with you."
