Holding Out For A Hero: An Original Superhero Quest

Lussiac launched the grenade at the group of officers as they opened fire. Her adrenaline was starting to go down. She wasn't out of the woods yet. She'd have a minute or two before the police got squad cars on the highway, and she couldn't be here when that happened.

But before she could come up with a plan, a bullet tore through her left shoulder.

"FUCK!" She dropped to one knee. The bullet went right through, and she was bleeding severely. For a few seconds, it was all she could do to stay on the trailer.

She reached into a pouch and took out a syringe filled with a yellow fluid. Taking the cap off of the needle she injected herself with the painkiller. A second later, the pain in her arm lessened to a dull thud. She could function like this, but she couldn't sit on a truck bleeding like a stuck pig forever.

That's when Lussiac remembered that there was a walkway up ahead. It goes over the highway and into some apartment buildings, along with one of her safehouses. She might be able to lose her pursuers there.

But when she looks up, she sees you approaching.
……….………………………….

If this were an action movie, you could try to climb on top of the trailer to fight Lussiac hand to hand. She's probably get some martial arts moves and be able to dodge you so she doesn't get flattened in 5 seconds. There's probably be a part where you have to duck under a walkway or a sign.

But fortunately for you, the trailer isn't just a moving platform. If you can get the driver to stop, then Lussiac is pretty much stuck. The next exit isn't for half 2 miles, and there's sheer concrete walls on either side. Normal people would have a tough time climbing up those walls.

As you pull up next to the semi, you can hear loud rock music coming from the radio and you can see him singing along.

You pull up parallel to the driver. "Pull over!" You shout at the man. For a few seconds, the man doesn't react to you. In fact, he was banging his head, and doing an air guitar solo with his left hand and plucking the strings with his right pointer finger and thumb.

"FUCKING PULL OVER!" You shout, waving your arms.

Up above, you see Lussiac, left shoulder pouring blood, but if she's in pain, you don't feel it.

"You're really getting under my skin." She half yells before taking aim at you with a wrist mounted grenade launcher. It isn't much time, but it's long enough so you aren't caught flat footed. When she fires the grenade, you cast Reflect. A barrier made of hexagons forms around you and, as soon as it hits your barrier, it's launched back at Lussiac. She cries out as the grenade flies past her head, trailing a white gas behind it before slamming into the concrete wall.

The truck driver, seeing you creating a barrier and something flying at his truck swerves away from you and steps on the gas. Looking up, you see Lussiac hit the top of the trailer but still hanging on for dear life.

All around you, nearby cars start to slow down, start moving to lanes further away and generally putting some distance between them and your chase without getting rear ended by the vehicles behind them. Though one motorist seems to be trying to stay within sight. And a guy is sticking his head outside of the passenger side window filming on his phone.

Fucking idiot.

……….…………………………..

After the sedan skidded to a stop in the service lane, but Black Valkarye's body kept going, flying onto the concrete.

The driver of the sedan, a slightly overweight man in a polo, slacks and dress shoes, stepped out of the car. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to... I mean-"

Her legs were the first thing she healed. The broken tibia, which had shattered when she hit the truck, snapped back into place. The veins, muscles and eventually skin formed back into it's natural shape. Her arm, which snapped when she hit the concrete was next as the veins repaired themselves, reattaching where they had been snapped open before. Suddenly, the bone snapped back in pace as suddenly as it snapped out of place. As Black Valkarye pushed herself up with her newly healed arm, she wiped the blood from her head where it had bounced off of the ground, revealing newly healed skin.

"What... wh=wh-wh-what the..." The driver stuttered.

Black Valkarye sighed. She didn't have time for this. She pulled out her badge. "Hartford PD. I'm commandeering your vehicle."

"What? I-"

"NOW"

The driver tossed the keys to Helya and a few seconds later, she was speeding off after the truck.

……….…………………………..

Lussiac was hanging off the edge of the trailer with her remaining good arm. She wasn't feeling any pain, but that was She started to pull herself back up, thanking whatever force in the universe that it hadn't started raining 5 minutes ago. But even as she said it, the rain was still falling. Little droplets were hitting the concrete and the vehicles
