Ark 24 Episode 21:Teach Me To Be A Hero!

Daily Routine
It was another beautiful day in District 2 as the grand water park was packed with civilians enjoying the hot weekend all in bathing suits either stepping out of the cool pool water or simply grabbing a tan. There were pools of different sizes from wave pools to kiddie pools and all in between with giant slides that twist and twirl from incredible heights! Children laughed and swam about racing one another while being supervised by lounging parents in sunglasses and martini glasses. There were snack stands with refreshing drinks and light food scattered all about the park while patrons ordered ice cream cones and slushes, all in all everyone was as happy as could be! And then….

“MUUUCCCKK!!!” A trembling roar alarmed the civilians like deer freezing at the sound of a gun cocking. There was danger!! And they knew it! Miss Avalanche comes soaring through the skies right in to a pool with a disgusting trail of clay and soil as big as a semi truck attached to her body that sends her into the water so harshly the water over flows in a mini tsunami while the blondes back meets roughly with the hard floor, hitting the back of her head as she grunts, air bubbles being wasted through clenched teeth. The assailant was none other than Mr. Muck. A mutated man now covered entirely in clay and soil he was the walking embodiment of wet earth with the power behind it as well. His eyes were yellowed out and glowed will malicious intent as he resembled the form of an unfinished statue of a giant, parts of him sloshing all over the place and with every step he took, there would be large brown grime of his steps left behind. He reached an impressive 10 feet with a monstrous build he made sure to use to his advantage. “MUUUCCCKK!!” He roared again, saliva and clay flying out of a mouth full of crooked yellow teeth.



Strider knew full and well it wouldn’t do much, but at least the force behind it, made his head explode for the time being to keep him busy at least. Kevin would’ve landed on the ground not far from Miss Avalance, squatting on the ground, and glancing over at her. “Alright my initial plan…failed horribly but there is still hope! YOU get to be the star and tell me what ideas you have to combat this thing. I saw ya earlier, your vibro thingy looked like it was putting in work! Maybe if we tag team it we can get it!....but we need to stop all that damned muck.” Strider would stand straight up, folding his arms and rubbing the base of his chin, rather curious as to how they were going to stop this threat. He wasn’t sure in the slightest, but he was confident enough in himself….and Miss Avalance did a pretty good job that one time so she might be able to replicate that feat here today.

Teamwork!
Miss Avalanche prepared herself to face off against him but before Mr.Muck could attack, a familiar array of blue and red catch her attention and her face lights up happily. “Web strider!” The hero came swinging into action and she was a bit relieved, excited to see him work up close. When his cryowebs made quick work on the villains body she began to put down her guard…and then he ran out. A giant sweat drop made itself at home on the blondes head as she gave out a sheepish smile. “Oh, that’s awkward.” She murmured as Muck tore out of his momentary imprisonment and try an assault towards the male hero now but Web strider was too fast and before long Mucks head was imploded on itself giving them a chance to figure something else out as he lands beside her and she smiles brightly. “H-hey…that was a really good try.” She chimed in positively while playing with her hair…she couldn’t help herself! It was Web Strider!! Now standing by her side and trying to think of what to do next, she merely blinks cutely and watches. She had a plan to stop him but the hero came in so she figured he’d save the day but now that he’s left here thinking she knew this would be a great chance to show off her abilities as a hero!! He was counting on her so she wouldn’t let him down as she takes a deep inhale of breath, eyes glowing as her hair lifts above strong shoulders. “Lets give this another shot. Keep him distracted! I can stop him but I need a little time to do this correctly!” If he’d agreed and went back in to battle she would dig her combat heels in to the floor, cracking the ground as she clenches her teeth and focused intently, the earth trembling right below her as she uses her seismic sense to detect exactly what was under ground. Her eyes closed as her feet did the work, searching for a certain something hidden below. Suddenly she senses it…the machines below the park that kept it running smoothly, it controlled everything all of the buildings and attractions to the temperatures of the water with advanced cooling systems. Once located, the hero knelt down and with a powerful motion, punched the ground! The force created a perfect round crater before collapsing and sending her down into the hole! She catches herself after a couple of feet of free falling, landing in the control room and spotting the gigantic A/C units, rushing over to the computer screen attached to the wall that allowed the person access to change things. The smart side of the hero comes out as she begins to dig in to the system, nimble fingers pressing every other button available until finally the screen flashes green and gives her entrance to the controls. She smiles in triumph before changing the temperatures to EXTREME cold, below freezing even as the machines were strong enough to switch to such temps. She pressed the screen again, speeding up the process of the waters shift from cool to ice cold and sure enough every pool began to slow their motion, small particles of ice forming at the corners. It was working but Miss Avalanche couldn’t see, she could only depend on her smarts that she’d done correctly as gazes up at the ceiling, listening to the monstrous stomps of Mr.Muck and with precise calculations she runs up, getting a good footing against the wall and crashing up through the ceiling/ground right in the middle of Web Strider and Mucks battle to take the villain by surprise as shes now in the air. With a confident boost she swirls her body in to an impressive round house, the seismic force meeting with the monsters temple as a ‘BOOM’ erupts from the blow and sends his body flying in to the closest pool. She lands the same time he does, a large splash is seen as his body sinks to the bottom but he roars in anger, moving to come back up until he realizes just how cold it was…too cold!!! His form was struggling to move as cracks and snaps caught the villains attention and no sooner than it did, the pool started to finish freezing over, leaving a thin sheen of ice at the top while Muck growled in defeat, the clay that was his body turning stone hard along with the water. Now certain he wasn’t going to move, Miss Avalanche turned to Web Strider and laughed cheerfully, pointing. “Hey look! A clay-cicle!! Hahaha!” Yes, she was rather corny and her puns were awful but at least she had heart!!

When Miss Avalanche commented on it being a “good try” Kevin merely hung his head in shame a bit. He perked back up though hearing that she had something up her sleeve, and it boosted his moral enough to want to continue onwards! “Lets give this another shot. Keep him distracted! I can stop him but I need a little time to do this correctly!” Kevin would’ve noded, and cracked his knuckles. “If theres one thing I can do it’s cause a distraction…hey ugly!” kevin would’ve leapt infront of Mr.Mucky muck, and started talking mad smack talk. “You gonna stand there all day and stink up the place or are you gonna hit me!” “MUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!” Muck would’ve extended his clay based hand, and tried to stretch it towards Web strider! Strider would’ve cartwheeled over it and landed in a squat. Muck wasn’t finished, though as he’d cross his mucky arms over his mucky chest, and extend them outwareds, releasing a slew of muck like bullets! “Oh that is just disgustin-“ Kevin would’ve leaned his head twaords the right, narrowly avoiding one of the small hardend clay projectiles, as it knocked down the life gaurds chair, and caused it to crumble. “Well now.” Kevin would’ve begun to tumble, twirl, and twist, avoiding every single individual projectile, by using his strider sense to predict the areas they were going to target, and adjusting   his more than flexible body to dodge them entirely! Kevin began to cut backflip after backflip, singing along as he did,. “Keep up! Keep up keep up keep up!”   He’d cut another back flip, jumping into the air with it, and reversing his direction. “Keep up with me, keep up!” Kevin would’ve twilred his body, only to see a slew of the rocky projectiles pass his face entirely, in what for him seemed like slow motion.



Hope finally came through however when Miss Avalanche busted through the ground in the nick of time, separating the two of them, and making kevin take a few steps back and causing Mr.Muck to stop with the icky barrage of what could be considered shit! “bout time!” when she kicked him away, into a near by pool, Kevin would’ve taken a ready stance. “Alright this is the part where something magical happens right?!? RIGHT?!” Kevin was frantic as he was ill prepared, and didn’t have a plan but oh? Miss Avalanche had it all down pact, as the pool Mr.Mucky Muck man fell into began to freeze just as quick as he was encased in there! “Hey look! A clay-cicle!! Hahaha!” Kevin would’ve rubbed the back of his neck before patting her on the shoulder. “Look uh. Let’s…let’s work on that pun game alright? You gotta be appropriate, like this. Ahem. Looks like he’s as COOL as he’s gonna get. See? Don’t make up words that’s so sixth grade.” Strider would laugh a bit, and turn to look at the scene. “Well you’re work is good, but try a little less collateral huh? “ Kevin would shrug, and spin a web to the nearest building corner. “Oh wait.” He’d let the web go. “I have to ask who is this guy? One of those vigilante things. You with Heroes inc?” Strider would click his tongue. “or nah?”

Small Talk
He didn’t seem to find her pun too funny but she just smiles sweetly as he gives her some advice before telling her not to give out too much collateral damage. At this she turned and looked at the damage she did cause and became a little bummed out, recollecting what had happened to Herbert. She’d learned his name of course and made sure he was alright before leaving him in the hospital…his companion Milisa gave her a rather dangerous aura and told her to leave which she did but she wanted to see him again to see how he was doing. “Yeah…I’ve…been having a bit of trouble with that lately.” She rubbed her arm, trying not to let it get to her as he asked who the villain was and she answered calmly, sort of distracted. “Oh, that’s Muck. Just another omega gene mutant with a vendetta against how the world treated him when he was normal. Funny thing is he use to be a successful sculptor and then he turned and everyone feared him. We just play the roles we’re given.” That last line was a bit drifted as she watches the frozen monster getting taken out by KPD as they made quick work of the situation, closing the park off for the day. She snapped out of it and blushed when he asks if shes part of Heros Inc “Hah I wish that’d be pretty amazing but I’m not part of Heros Inc just kind of soloing it.” She tries not to show how much being so close to him in a non battle setting was making her act like a total fan girl. “Well I’m just gonna go this way ahaha!” She goes to move but winces in pain, reaching for her side only to feel a wetness between torn gloves. Pulling back she notices red and laughs a little, feeling a bit sheepish for being seen like this. “I’ve had a pretty tough week heh. Blizzard got me pretty good on the side with her icicles and then green menace decided to come out and play and then Muck over here got me in my stitches.” The wound had opened up again as she reaches for a towel that laid out by the tables, placing it on her ribs. The bleeding wasn’t anything life threatening, just annoying. She knew he had to leave but she had a day off…well from her regular jobs and she looked to him, blue eyes lighting up with their usual happiness as she tries to brush off her frustrations. “Thanks for coming to my rescue, you’re really great.” She takes a seat on the chair not destroyed in the chaos and tries to relax, sort of trying to make it seem like she was okay and the towel currently wasn’t drenching in blood. As sweet and clutzy as the blonde was, she still had some pride! There was no way she could allow Web Strider to see her like this…she was still soaking wet from the pool, her outfit was a bit torn, she was bleeding and he’d just told her to try not to destroy city property next time. All in all, it hadn’t been such a good day off and Miss Avalanche knew this as she gazed away from him, hoping he’d say his good bye and leave.

Kevin caught a slight wiff of sadness in her voice, which contradicted the tad bit of bubblieness he could get from her earlier. It seemed so somber in origin, but he woudn’t question it that much unless he just absolutely had to. For the time being, he at least wanted to get the information she had on the guy she’d just taken out, so he could record it and send it to Leon’s computer. Leon gave him a tad bit of leigh way with it, so he could help Leon assemble his very own rogues gallery. Leon said it was a work in progress idea, but maybe it would show fruit and promise, if he’d kept it up that is. “Oh, that’s Muck. Just another omega gene mutant with a vendetta against how the world treated him when he was normal. Funny thing is he use to be a successful sculptor and then he turned and everyone feared him. We just play the roles we’re given.” This made Kevin look off to the side awkwardly. She seemed to be having…a pretty rough time. Granted, Kevin knew there was a city to save and a million other things he could be doing at this very moment in time, but at the same time his better nature appealead and he felt like he needed to hear her out, at least somewhat. “This…is kinda true. I mean me personally I’ve always kinda thought we got to pick our own roles. It’s what makes the difference between a worker and a loser.” Kevin would shrug, but keep hearing her out. Kevin looked down though as he’d have seen a spot of blood trickle down from the betweens of her finger as she gripped her side. “Oh shit, are you okay?” she explains how she had a tough week,and judging by the villians she was naming, they must’ve been pretty up there to get a girl like this all riled   up. For all her faults, Miss Avalanche probably had one of the most effective powersets kevin had ever seen,a nd with good guidance she could become a great asset or a great threat, depending on how she did things. “Thanks for coming to my rescue, you’re really great.” Kevin watched her sit down, and placing his hands on his hips, about to take the credit, he realized he really didn’t do didly jack shit. If anything she may have even figured that out on her own if she’d played her own cards right. But none the less, he had an ego as the strider, and gladly took the complement. “Heh, why thank you. I was pretty badass out there, but it’s a team effort deary. You did just as much as me. I just moved out of the way of stuff and looked cool while doing it.” Kevin would begin swinging his arms up and down all the while making a construct with his webbing that took the form of a chair. He’d pull it up infront of miss avalance, and sit down. He’d hold his hands out, and speak. “Lift your arm up. My web fluid is a non toxic adhesive, so it’ll keep the wound sealed for about a couple of hours. I’ve been practicing with ah…mystical stuffs and I can kinda get the feel you’re a physical chi user. So if you concentrate really really hard, you’ll heal up a tad faster than usual.” Kevin would’ve squired her womb with some fluid, making sure it was through and then stopping to life his mask up just a bit so she could see he was smiling. “There we go. All better? Who said Vigilantes can’t help each other out right?” Kevin would lean forward a bit, his arms resting on his knees as he looked at Miss Avalance. She was quite the pretty girl, and so skilled. Kevin had a thing for women with skills. The cops were starting to show up, but they wouldn’t bother the heroes. They’d be more focused on cleaning up and taking care of the injured. Kevin would speak again. “So, your power. I’ve always been curious. What exactly is it? I’ll tell you mines if you tell me yours. I mean that’s if you have time for conversation. I can see you’ve been having it rough lately with the massive amount of villainy increase. Sometimes Heroes need to vent to y’know?” Kevin would’ve reached a hand up and if she let him, he’d pat her leg in a friendly mannor, though the amount of thigh he felt, felt raaaaather nice.

The blonde watches him make a chair before relaxing further in hers as he reaches over to offer his medic serves which she just stares dreamily at him, removing the towel and letting him do his thing. “Wow you’re really talented…” One could hear the sweet sigh in her tone before she realized what she was doing and cleared her throat, looking in front of her with a blush. “Th-thank you.” She was a physical chi user but she was having trouble with her chi training but a healing factor would come in a lot of handy considering her lovely profession. When he was done she just sat there awkwardly, not really sure what to say…this was strange for her. As Miss Avalanche she didn’t have too much confidence when it came to the opposite sex which was so strange considering when she is Jayla she has no problem getting numbers and usually it’s the other way around for all heroes but for her? She loved herself, took pride in the woman she was outside the suit…but her fear of her powers, fighting along side other much more experienced heros and messing up all the time it took its toll on the vigilante when she fought crime. “So your power…I’ve always been curious.” She finally turns to him and tilts her head as he asks what exactly she could do. Flashing him a friendly smile she simply shrugs her shoulders non chalant like answered with ease. “I can manipulate seismic shock waves. I got my power the night my father was put in the hospital…you might not remember but that mini earth quake that took down the small casino that one slimey snake owned? Cobra was his name…I caused that.” She recalls on that night and almost killing herself in the process. “I don’t know why I can do what I do but I can…I still struggle with it too. I’m afraid I might accidentally kill someone. I mean out of all the powers in the world I could have been blessed with….I get the power to destroy. It’s a curse honestly.” She turns bright red when she realizes she was now venting and also she noticed his hand on her thigh which wasn’t helping the situation as she smiled shyly. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to lay that on you hah…” But it helped a lot being able to talk to someone about this, hell not even her father knew what she was really up to. “I love being a hero. I enjoy helping people and putting my life on the line to do what’s right. But sometimes…” She sees Herbert getting hurt in her mind and she sighs again. “I feel like I do more bad than good.” The hero in training needed some guidance this was true…her heart was in the right place but she doubted herself and feared her potential. There was an obvious tone of guilt, proving she had indeed already injured someone while playing hero.

How To Be A Better Hero
“I can manipulate seismic shock waves. I got my power the night my father was put in the hospital…you might not remember but that mini earth quake that took down the small casino that one slimy snake owned? Cobra was his name…I caused that.” Kevin tapped his chin as when he himself was but a child he did recall an incident like that coming to fruition, but he never much paid it any attention, iin fact if she’d never brought it up he probably would’ve forgotten all about it. “Ahhhh I do recall. That was…you? Damn.” Kevin would’ve folded his arms. ‘She’s definitely one of the ones I want to keep on my good side. Yeesh. Supers now a days, get scarier and scarier.” He thought to himself but another name rung in his head form an earlier hero escapade he’d had. “Cobra..” Kevin said aloud. He remembered Red Dawn telling him about a man named cobra. He’s still around? Still running organizations or something o the sort? Kevin wasn’t going to give him the time of day since he’d thought nothing more of him being a run of the mill gangster, but now it appeared he had some power, and some beef to go along with it. She continues to speak, about how she didn’t mean to let out that out. “It’s nothing I don’t hear from citizens.” Kevin remarked, nodding and urging for her to continue. “I love being a hero. I enjoy helping people and putting my life on the line to do what’s right. But sometimes… I feel like I do more bad than good.” “Tough tities Avalanche.” Kevin would’ve stood up and placed his hands on his hips. “Let me tell ya something. Don’t. blame. Yourself. You have a job to do, you’re a vigilante. Are people going to get hurt in the midst of some of your escapades and adventures? Yes. Yes they are. But don’t let that guilt weight you down, or you’ll never be able to do your job right.” Kevin would lean over, and get in her face a tad bit, waving a finger at her. “If you’ve hurt someone, which I can more than imagine you have by your display today, it’s time to learn from your mistakes, and try not to repeat it by any means. You don’t have time to sit around and feel sorry for yourself. That’s not what real heroes do, but that’s okay!” Kevin would clap his hands together, and stand up straight again. “Today I’m enrolling you in the web strider program of how to be a better hero. You’ll be starting out tagging along with me on alllllllll my missions. First, you shall give me your phone number! Well a private link number so I won’t find out your identity, BUT. I need some way to keep in contact with you. So you can show up for all my lessons. But get up and we’ll start today!” Kevin would offer her a hand, and help her stand up. ‘I’m going to give you 3 things!” Kevin would hold up three fingers, and point to each one of them. “I’m going to give you confidence! Skill! And……uhm….stage presence and better puns!” Kevin would wrap his arm around her and lean forward a bit, walking her forward, and leaving out of the pool area. “Step one. Physical capability. See you’re one of those heroes, round the block that have powers, and use them very well. Now don’t get me wrong! Having that kind of power is GREAT! But you have to think. If your power doesn’t work, then what? Then what? You have to know how to FIGHT! “ Kevin would stop and place his hands on her shoulders. “You’ve heard of the black dusk? Let me tell ya. He’s one of the scariest motherfuckers on the planet! And he doesn’t even have powers. Why? Because he doesn’t HAVE POWERS! He   has nothing to rely on but his gear, gadgets, and skill which makes people like him dangerous because 9 times out of 10 they will always excel in skill over you. Where you excel in power, they’ll excel in everything else. So you need to me like ME and fix that gap!” Kevin would stand them in the middle of the street, and grab her by the waist. If she let him, he’d sling a web and pull him and Miss Avalanche along, until they reached the top of a 7 story building and landed swiftly. “Look at me? At the end of the day you know what i do? I shoot webs, crawl on walls, and have a sixth sense that lets me kind get the heads up on things. Literally. I can navigate this city with my eyes closed. So today…..you’re going to do the same thing.” Kevin would take out a handkerchief and hand it to Miss Avalanche. “Here. Tie this around your eyes. We’re going to run this entire city block no…the next 3 city blocks blind folded! If you beat me to the….hot dog stand three blocks off! You’ll have gained a new sense of how to use your ability. Rely on your senses, but do NOT let them be you’re entire basis of attack!”

“Tough titties.” Hearing this, Jayla quickly looks up in confusion, giving him a head tilt. “Wh-what??” “Let me tell ya something. Don’t blame yourself.” He stands in front of her and gives her a rather stern talking but she just watches with wide eyes, watching him in admiration as he tells her what for. His words, were a bit rough but they held so much truth she couldn’t help the bright smile as she looked up to her hero. He leans in closer to wave a finger at her and to this she blushed lightly but her smile doesn’t fade as she stays where she was, laughing a little. “Today I’m enrolling you in the web strider program of how to be a better hero!!” She blinks, watching him get all hyped up which only made her hyped up as well as she curls her hands into fists. “R-right!! I accept!” He was correct…feeling sorry for yourself never solved a thing. If Jayla could be this confident bad ass then why shouldn’t Miss Avalanche be as well?? “You’ll be tagging along with me on aaaallll my missions as well.” To this her smile turns into a gape as she points at him. “A-all of them?!” The hero was going all out for her and she really appreciated it but she didn’t want to become a nuisance to Strider simply because she sucked at this vigilante thing. Then he asks for her number and to this she continued to gape, not knowing how to answer that…she didn’t exactly have another way for them to communicate as she murmurs thoughtfully. “I could get another line for us.” And no she wasn’t going to fan girl over the fact she’d gotten Striders number…that was for another time in the very near future. He takes hold of her hand and pulls her out of the chair, exclaiming they’d start today! Blue hues gaze down at their hands as she almost melts. “Oh sure…that’d be nice…” Wait what? He began to tell her about the three things he’d teach her while his arm wrapped around a slender waist, but she was busy blushing at their closeness though she wasn’t going to be rude and not listen. Then it got a bit more intense as they stand in the middle of the street as he goes on about Black Dusk and yeah he had a point…he was scary without any fancy powers…if he could do it, Jayla could as well! She was gaining a good boost of confidence until he grabbed her and slung a web, the two of them go flying right up! She squeals and hangs on tightly, not enjoying when there was nothing under her, she liked the ground….felt most comfortable when her feet were touching the earth…it wasn’t as if she was petrified of heights or nothing but when there was NOTHING under you it made her nervous as she wrapped her arms around his neck and before long they landed on a building high up. She didn’t mind the height obviously now that the roof touched her feet and she released him….well…she enjoyed the closeness and then released him as he takes out a blind fold to hand to her. They were gonna do what now?? “Well…if you say so.” She wouldn’t question his methods as she wraps the blind fold around her eyes and once she did so she couldn’t help the laugh. “This’ll be fun!!”   She’d wait for him to put on his own blindfold if he would before getting jittery. If he’d started any sort of countdown she almost couldn’t wait. “Three!!” She finishes for the vigilante as she goes shooting forward, using her physical chi to push off her foot with a blast of power that gives her a boost right off of the first roof as she becomes weightless, blonde hair raising above strong shoulders. The first jump wasn’t difficult as she lands in a shoulder roll, back on her feet seconds later. With every crunch under her feet she could sense the shock waves from the force of her feet against the concrete of the building; it gave her a type of blue print of what was around her without the need to actually see. The moment she pictures the surroundings she is on the run again, her hands shooting out to grab hold of the fence that was in front of her. Any other person blind folded would have run smack in to it but not her as she slams her boots in to it before shooting off of it in to back flip, her gymnastics showing off as she hurdles in to four spins before sticking the landing on top of an A/C unit, making a slight dent in to it as she winces slightly. “whoops.” She smiles sheepishly as she turns and continues towards the next couple of roofs, wondering if Strider was close by hell she wouldn’t be surprised if he’d left her in his dust but she was a pretty competitive woman so she’d give it her all!

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-opeF2548&list=PLYNBny7IRlVlZDcKRtLlV-JKVQjMsIcoI&index=41 ) Whens he put on her blindfold, Kevin would’ve put his on as well and begun his count. “Alrighty then! Oooooone. Twoooooo. “ “Three!” she yelled for him, and Kevin could already tell she’d taken slam off on to the rooftops further ahead! He’d sigh for a second. “So hasty. Gotta learn to chill, these rookies do.” Kevin would also push physical chi into his legs, but not that much as his muscles were already high tier enough to let him pullt 40 feet in one bound, standing still, so when he got a running start, he pulled 55 feet in one bound! Being slightly above her in the air, as she continued her run as she’d land in a shoulder roll! *Slow motion* Kevin would’ve ran beside her backwards, cutting a backflip over, a t.v antenna. *regular speed* Kevin would land, and twirl on his right foot, literally attempting to juke infront of her for a second, so quick, she’d still pass by him with out even touching him before they began to come up on a fence. *slow motion* Kevin would leap into the air side ways, tucking his body into a ball and spinning over the length and height of the fence In one smooth go! Before landing, along the ground, and rolling himself, pushing off of his hand, and running backwards again, slowing down a bit until they’d both reach the A/C unit, to which she’d dented it. Kevin would’ve sensed this and winced, breathing t though his teeth. “proper landings are importante you know!” Kevin would’ve turned away, and continued to lead the race, trolling her enough, as he’d push the tempo! With a quickness of the flick of his foot, Kevin put some “umph” into his ankles, and boosted his speed to a whooping 75 mph. At this point everything was tunnel vison, and all he could rely on was sheer stridrer sense and his near autonomic relflexes. Weather Miss Avalanche was beside was irrelevant. He wanted to see if she could push herself further than she’d ever have to, and not be so over reileant on her power. On a blind whim, instead of leaping toward the building top he was coming towards, Kevin dashed forward, and broke through a glass window through a random kitchen, dashes through the living room, and around the couple having sex on the couch, and blast out of the window! rebounding off the wall opposite of the window he busted off of, and wall jumping his way upwards through a bum infested alleyway! His body like a red and blue blur! What didn’t help his advantage is that he could indeed wall crawl, so as he continued across the rooftop, his eyes still blinded mind you, he just “knew’ where everything was, as the sense would tell him when and basically how to position himself to avoid danger. Kevin wouldn’t wait as he’d handstand on the ledge of a building, only to then hang off of it with one hand, his feet planted to it before jumping across the gap, kicking off of that wall, and running on a low rooftop, on the second block now, and not far from the food stand, Kevin would leap and debo another window, squeezing between two folks  Before making his way out of ANOTHER window, but this time in one big free fall like fashion, his arms spread open eagle, and his body landing on the ground in a rollHe rolled and then leap again! Sticking to the wall, but climbing in such an uncoordinated fashion, but it was indeed cool to look at, though at this point one could tell he was dicking around in all seriousness. Kevin would’ve made it to the last building, before the foodstand, and have turned around with his hands on his hips to see just weather she’d risen to the occasion or weather she’d faltered behind.



Enter Mean Green
<p class="MsoNormal">She blinks, feeling something slithering along the fabric of her suit before realizing it was Striders tongue. She couldn’t help the laugh as she sits up on him, placing a hand over her breasts as she lightly smushes his face away. “Hahah!! You’re such a liar, you pervert!!” She wasn’t upset, more so amused someone like Web Strider was the type to joke around like that. Her hair bounces around the frame of her face as she flashes him a bright smile. “Sorry again, I kind of need to get the hang of my abilities….” He lectured her in a good way as she listened to his constructive criticism about her control and just how powerful she could become if trained properly. She was sort of doing this solo, no one really knew about her powers and she didn’t have a personal trainer…if Web Strider was serious about helping her this would be a good thing and who knows maybe she just needed to do some Yoga. When it came to combat, Jayla held her own she knew how to defend herself as she held national titles!! But that wasn’t her problem…it was being Miss Avalanche. Strider sits up and she instinctively wraps her legs around his waist, now propped up on his lap. At first one would think she’d jumped off in embarrassment for latching on to him like a monkey but there was something familiar about the way he felt, the build of his body was giving her déjà vu and it reminded her of Kevin Chan…she hadn’t spoken to him since that day her father walked in on them and she grew sort of bummed thinking it might have scared him off from talking to her. Blue hues gaze into the white ones of the hero as she realizes she’d been sitting on him for far too long, blushing and moving to get up to give them space. “Sorry again. I’ll get better and I do, I feel like theres hope for my hero career. I’ll work extra hard!!” She fidgeted lightly though after a moment of silence as she starts playing with a blonde lock, chewing on the inside of her mouth before mustering up the courage. “Uh I know we’re technically in training mode but….I mean if you still want to grab that cup of coffee sometime. Maybe after this—“ Police sirens sounded off right by them, about seven of them zooming through traffic as well as a couple of ambulances followed suit right behind them. Jayla turns her head a little disappointed before hiding it with a smile, her arms lazily held behind her back. “Heh…maybe next time.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hahah!! You’re such a liar, you pervert!!” Kevin would’ve grinned at this, pulling the mask back over his lower half, and letting her finish. The closeness did make him feel some type of way, and the fact that she wasn’t getting up any time soon also made him raise a brow, but he’d pay it mind much later on when it required for him to do so. Kevin watched as she did finally get up to give him some space and apologize, saying that’ shed work extra hard to get better. This made Kevin happy to hear that he’d have a little protégé he could teach his wise hero tricks to. He didn’t give himself enough credit sure, but he was   a very skilled hero. Kevin’s strider sense however started going off like wild fire! His eyes widened, and his head turned when she was asking about getting a cup of coffee. Kevin was one to enjoy a good date, but the mission comes first. The mission always comes first, no matter what. “Yeah next time. And I’d prefer we go for hotdogs. The way to my heart is my stomach deary.” Kevin would’ve looked to her, and gave her a thumbs up. “Let’s roll!” Kevin would shoot a web to a neary by building corner, and pull himself forward, swinging off into the danger! After a few blocks if jayla had found a way to keep up with him, they’d come to the source of the destruction! Loud footsteps could be heard pressing against the ground, cracking beneath the feet of the giant weighted behemoth. The giant man would’ve made his way out of the bank with money tucking inside of a metal compartment the seemingly rested on his back. He was big as fuck, standing at about 8 feet, with a green complexion and a full suit of what looked like full suit body armor.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">SWOO-OOOP! ANNNNND!” Kevin would’ve flung his web at a near by motor cyle, with his right hand, pulling it towards him and adjusting the rope so the motorcycle would collide right into mean greens face! “BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!” Mean green would’ve toppled over a few feet, grunting along the way before Kevin would look to avalanche and give her a thumbs up. “See there? The key is minimizing your movements and enviornments to cause considerably less dama-“ Kevin’s strider sense kicked in, and he’d look to see mean green coming at him (creed voice) with arms wide open. (end creed voice.) Kevin tried to move, he was quickly emcompassed by the monsters grip! Forcibly taken off, and being tackled through building after building! Kevin grunted and squeeled in pain using his physical chi to try and protect himself as much as he could! He’d already been ramed through 5 buildings, and it’d continue if jayla didn’t do something. ON ANOTHER NOTE the 5th building they’d rammed through was actually a parking garage! Mean grean had rammed Kevin’s body right through the main support collumns of the structure, and was cuasing the damn thing to collapse half way through the middle! Women and children were still in there, in there cars, innocent people about to be swiftly killed by the building collapse! Kevin could sense this danger, but he also feel like his spine was about to snap as mean green had him pined against, the bed of an eighteen wheeler, by the neck, and Kevin woudlv’e been struggling to remove   his hand from his throat, yelling out to avalance with all he could muster. “S-…STOP THAT COLLAPSE!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Jayla’s moment has arrived! Will the blonde starling, aid Kevin before his neck his ripped from his very body! Or will she do the deed of a hero and prevent the death’s of hundereds of people!? The many versus the few!

Choices!
<p class="MsoNormal">“WALK IT OFF ROOKIE.” She hung her head to the name…damnit, it stung something awful hearing your idol call you that but it wasn’t a lie as she begins to pull the hammer off when suddenly it raises right off of her. On alarm she shoots up into a sitting position, watching the massive weapon shooting towards Strider. “WATCH IT!” She warns but he was as always a step ahead, dodging it. With a huff she kicks any fallen items off of her and jumps back out in to battle. Web strider as usual wash holding his own all the while teaching her some new tricks as she flashes him a dreamy smile. “He’s so cool…” Suddenly the behemoth of a man or whatever he was slams right in to the hero, taking him with him through buildings as Avalanche watches in shock. “STRIDER!!” She yells out before pushing off in incredible speed, following after them only to stop right outside the first building, watching in panic. “Shit shit shit…” What could she do?? Anything from her would certainly force the buildings to collapse and kill whomever was inside! The holes made from Mean Green wasn’t enough to destroy the buildings which was a good thing but through the last building Jayla is able to make out the parking garage!! The people inside would be squished like bugs! Tightening her fists she makes a choice…be the best hero she could be. Turning her head to the side she throws her arm out, sending a seismic wave towards the man hole cover, lifting up the heavy metal circle with ease before wrapping gloved fingers around it. Thanks to her physical chi it wasn’t difficult to carry as she inhales deeply, listening to the monsters foot steps and pinpointing her aim precisely. “Hold on Strider!!” She shouted as she blasts off in to the openings left behind from Mean Green, zooming past alarmed office workers who’d peeked their heads out from their cubicles to see why there was a giant hole in their work space. Judging by the quaking of the parking garage she was running out of time to do something but she couldn’t allow the hero to die not if she could help it! Finally rushing out the fourth building she kicks her foot forward, sliding the heel in to the ground as she twists her body, arms bent and with clenched teeth she launches the man hole cover in to a perfect Frisbee effect, in a 200Mph speed!!! Her physical chi was in full effect, muscles bulging immensely as some are torn and she winces but it didn’t stop her from the release as it cuts through the air, only gaining more velocity as it headed right for the back of the monsters neck!! The force alone could not only snap it but send Green mean flying forward in an array of tumbles through the streets like a rag doll being hit by the same Semi he’d pinned strider to! The throw even knocked her forward but she catches herself as she watches the beams collapsing, the two that kept the three level garage standing in the middle. Without another moment wasted she rushes over to the rubble as she cocks her elbow back, eyes shutting tight as she murmurs. “I can do this.” Almost as if in slow motion her arm shoots straight for the ground, the moment the knuckles meet with pure concrete she manipulates seismic waves, disrupting the ground to rise a well-rounded slab, shifting the plates forcing the earth to rise the slab further up creating a pillar of her own to replace the one that’d been damaged! The garage had been trembling and tilting in her direction until the broken beam meets with its new support and stops the fall!! It wasn’t ideal but it was strong enough to do the job she gazes around to see the damage she herself had done but it was minimal, the cars that were in the way were merely pushed from the force but not destroyed as she catches her breath, eyes shifting up to see a car balancing itself on the very edge of the damaged opening of the garage, just big enough it could fall through! Taking a deep inhale, with narrowed eyes she does her sonic screech, the high pitched waves hitting right under the car and pushing it back into its parking spot!! Without damaging the new makeshift beam, the garage ceases its trembling and she is able to hear the family crying in the car she had stopped from falling, giving out a relieved sigh. People would begin to exit the garage with panic, grabbing on to their loved ones and high tailing it the fuck out of her way as she doesn’t rest any longer, going in to a sprint to make sure Strider was alright!

How About That Coffee?
<p class="MsoNormal">(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im8D05ETuF0&list=PLYNBny7IRlVm1xHhYq5qHlNSsKkocXSF2&index=11 ) Kevin would’ve gritted his teeth, closing his eyes a bit hoping jayla was doing all she could to help the people trapped in that parking garage. He heard her tell him to hang on and that’s what he was about to do! What choice did he really have? Kevin began to push physical chi into his muscles and was starting to loosen up the man’s grip on his throat just a tad bit and that’s when a whirling manhole cover had come flying from an advert direction, to hit mean green right in the back of his neck! “GAAAAAAAAH!!!!” He’d use one of his hands to feel on the back of his neck, which gave Kevin the opening he needed to rear his foot back, and toss it up, kicking mean green dead in his chin! The impact actually lifting the heavy set man a few feet off of the ground! “Nice save!” Kevin would land on the ground, and land under the big man! Catching him and holding him over his head, this guy was at least 800 pounds in body weight, but Kevin could lift him, he knew he could! “Time to end this!” Kevin would’ve started running forward, his fingers digging into the man’s metallic armor, as he dashed forward at an enhanced running speed of about 85mph down the street, before stopping to slide, and hopping into the air to toss the guy with both arms flailing forward, sending him soaring at the speed of a torpedo, into a near by run down building! The man’s massive speed plus his impact would’ve caused the building to come crashing down on his body piece by piece! Crumbling down into chunks of brick, wood, and metal! The loud noises of the building collapsing could be heard through out some of the streets, as Kevin stood there rubbing his neck a bit,and leaning over, a tad winded, but nothing he hadn’t had to endure before. “Friggin jolly green giant motherfucker….” Kevin would look to see Avalanche running over, and Kevin would’ve held out his hand towards her for her to stop while she was a few feet away. “…He’s not done. My strider sense is tingling so here’s what we’re gonna do. He’s not immune to a good head shot…and I think he’s got nuts.” Kevin would squat down on the ground, keeping all of his chi internal, and pouring every once of it into his muscles, reaching the peak of strength and enhanced being can reach in his body, but not showing to much of an outward change. “When he comes charging, no matter what the throws, wait for the big body. You hit em high I’ll hit em low!” Kevin said aloud. “remember, dodge everything else but him!” that’s when it started! Out of the rubble came flying a shield and a hammer, moving at a distorting speed that cut through the air around both items! If they connected, they might be enough to rip a metahuman in half! The hammer   this time going towards kevin, and the shield going towards Avalanche! Kevin had seen first hand what it did to Jayla, and deciding to not let that same thing replicate itself, Kevin would rush twaords the hammer, and cut a spiral over it, and hopefully however Jayla avoided the shield however which way and took charge beside kevin, darting at the brick like pile! That’s when meen green final made his appearance and busted from the rubble running forth like a mad man! His arms flailing back and forth, to and fro, as he took charge towards the heroes! “NOW AVALANCE! Kevin would’ve reared his right hand back, flexing the muscle as he did, and using a strength similar to the one he’d fought connor with, Kevin would leap into the air a bit and superman punch mean green right in the nuts! The impact cracking the ground beneath his and mean greens feet,and if jayla’s headshot were to work, then her impact would only add to the sinking effect, Mean Green would experience being sunk down into the ground! Their combined strength, depending on how much strength she’d put into it, would’ve been enough to send the man crashing beneath the city streets below and into the sewer system! The ground caving in as Kevin would’ve been hanging along the edge of the hole by one hand, trying to keep from falling in with the big guy! The monsters body hit the ground, and a loud splash could be heard as kevin hung there. “Yikes….woooo! …little help here Miss Avalance! “ if she came to help him up, Kevin would stand up brushing himself off, and giving her a thumbs up. “Good game Avalanche!” kevin would rear his hand back and smack her on the ass, only to then place his arm on her shoulder, and lean on her a bit, pointing at her. “You’ve got a bright future a head of you if you keep up my training. Sure there was collateral BUT! See how much less damage was done since you didn’t use your powers as much?” Kevin would look around. Realistically more damage was caused thanks to the antics of mean green, but he thinks she would see what he was talking about. Kevin would pop his neck from side to side, and nudge Miss Avalanche on her arm, noting to the coffe stand over yonder. “so how about that coffe? Think we get a heroes discount?” Kevin would lift the mask over his mouth to show her he was smiling.

<p class="MsoNormal">Blue hues lock with the heros masked white ones and she lets out a relieved sigh, coming to a stop as he begins to draw out a plan for them, looking to the side to see he would be getting up soon. She crouches down with him, tilting her head to the side and listening intently. The plan seemed simple enough, get him in the head, avoid his destructive toys…easier said than done but it could be done! Standing up, the vigilantes suit would be slightly torn in certain areas but she ignored the aching pain in her muscles, focusing on the task at hand. The hammer is seen but this time it made a straight b line for Strider which meant…narrowed eyes land on the shield headed in her direction but she wasn’t going to try and catch this, learning from past mistakes as physical chi pumped through her legs, using every bit that could go in, charging the full thighs while gaining speed. The moment the shield nears her form she merely bends backward, hearing the shield slice through the air and even cut a thin line of blonde locks but it was dodged all together as it flies past her only to imbed itself in to a brick wall. Now running beside Strider, she clenches her teeth and locks on her target knowing full well just how she was going to help end this! “NOW AVALANCHE!” Launching herself high up in to the ground, Jayla raises her leg in a perfect vertical line only to bring the heel of the steel lined boot down on the crown of his head, the impact causing a ‘KA-KOW’ sound effect forcing the monsters head to snap down the same time Strider slammed his nuts!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Only aiding in the blow as the crater further deepens sending the monster down in to the sewers as she lands beside the destruction, on one knee as she pants from using a lot of chi towards that last hit. “Little help here-!!” She hears Strider and turns only to see his gloved hand hanging on to the edge and she yelps in surprise, rushing over to pull him out with a sheepish laugh. “sorry sorry!! Are you okay?” “Good game!!” He smacks her on the ass and she turns red…well he seemed alright! “Th-thanks…” She rubs the back of her head nervously, giving him a smile. Turning to the damaged down she did feel a lil bit better knowing it wasn’t she who caused it all. She’d been able to stop a garage from collapsing instead of being the cause of it to fall. Strider steps closer to her and lifts up his mask just enough for her to see that charming smile as he offers to get some coffee with her after all. Her smile widens ten fold, eyes sparkling almost as she jumps by his side, hugging his arm happily. “I’d love to!!” Resting her cheek against his muscular arm, she ignores all the ouchies currently aching her form in favor of getting to sit down with the hero. Meanwhile KPD starts to clean up a crime scene for the second time today though it wasn’t anything they weren’t already use to as civilians walk by and start taking photos and videos coming out of their hiding places to film the arrest of Mean green and to capture a shot of Miss Avalanche hugging up on Web Strider of course. Off in the distance though, a certain long purple haired female can be seen fitting in amongst the crowd just looking like any other pedestrian, carrying a paper bag full of groceries, blank red and purple eyes staring intently at the scene before her…without a word she turns away and walks off in the other direction, flipping her cell open to make a phone call….
