It was another average day in Citiopolis. Well, as average as this city was capable of being. A recent outbreak of supervillains has been causing a bit of a disturbance. At least a few days a month you'd see a battle breaking out downtown. Thankfully, a hero would come along and put an end to whatever ruckus was going on pretty quickly. At least most of the time...and hopefully without doing more damage than the villain.
On that note, you were on your way to your super important job that nobody else could do when there was a sudden explosion down the street. The sidewalk shook with the force of the disturbance and, next thing you knew, cars were getting thrown and people were screaming. That's when you saw a totally average car sailing through the air right at you.
Most people would see their life flash before their eyes if something like this happened and that's probably what was happening inside your mind right that moment. Thankfully, it wasn't going to be your time yet. There was a sudden flash of blue light as you felt something wrap around your waist and pull you out of the car's trajectory. It crashed into the pavement with a grinding screech where you were standing.
"Holy shit!" you heard a woman exclaim next to you as she released her grip around your waist. She wore a blue spandex bodysuit with yellow lightning bolts that adorned the side. You couldn't see her face since she was wearing an eye mask that partially covered it, but you could see her blue eyes had a subtle glow. Her face and short blonde hair were smeared with dirt, like she'd been dragged through the mud. You recognized her as The Blue Volt, a somewhat noobie superhero you saw on the news. She quickly cleared her throat, trying to catch her breath as she stood up straight. "Uh-I mean...a-are you okay?" she manages to ask, trying to sound confident and cool but falling somewhere between worried and exhausted as electricity flickers through her hair. "Lucky I was fast enough to get you out of the way before you got turned into a pancake."
