Will it Ever End?

Really Hope?

Welp, here we are again in this Electrifying city heading towards what might be the end of it, if you missed the last story my name is Hope and well i explode and can shoot fire! Yeah sounds cool but some of the stuff these other people can do, i digress, there is a fight between what was suppoesed to be my ate tongitht and my ex who i had dated a long time ago, well not that long but it was for a long time.

"Hope what are we going to do about this?" Lorenzo says sa he takes apart the raido section of a car and make 2 communicators outs of it, "this will help, try not to die" ,"thanks," i say i'll keep that in mind".

Boom! Crash! right in front of us the old liquar store turns into a puddle of stinky fluid and rubble, in the center of it is litterally a hair pulling competition, it's kinda funny really, no one taught these two how to fight, well how could they with the whole "superman" complex just because your abilities are sorta like his, anyway if you didn't know that about our dimention it's just like yours accept these abilities just started to come around i'd say the last 20-24years, no one has been too crazy, thankfully but since so many of us have it it's not like we have to take special percautions other than the entire police force, that's on the front line, is powered accept for these couple guys but they are umm, ex, stuff i shoudln't say and very proficient at what they do.

"Hello over there!" i scream trying to get the attention on the fighting couple of ladies in whats left of the liquor store. "What!?!" they both scream at the same time, holding each others hair and raising fists, then then both proceed to crash through and drag out of the rubble towards me in a great comtion that rumbles the street around us knocking over a fire hydrant and flipping a car, now standing both in front of me, one super clean looking and one that's clothing was torn and dirty, but neither of them were in hurting, or injured . Scary honestly. "can you two let go of each other?".

"Only if Cynthia here promises not to run away", "run away? your the one running away" Cynthia retorts, swinging both of her fists down onto Becca, who is hammered like a nail into the basement of the liquor spot, " I feel a rumbling" I say as I step back from the rubble a bit more, "hey i'm not scared you know it just like hurts to blow up" i say in defence of my posture.

Lorenzo just Smiles at me from behind this shield he made with a motorcycle plow and some scaffolding he found," Watch ou-" he says a bit too late as one of the sides of the building and a 12'' long piece of the metal roofing topples over, in a commotion I look over just in time for it to hit me in the neck, the neck really?, Anyway my head pops off and well there is an explosion, and umm yeah here i stand again alive with my head on my body, do not ask me how it works, i could explain but then i would digress too much, lets just say, I am a whole and alive person, and every time that is not true an explosion happens and it's true again. i injure, cut, bleed, bruise, and hurt like any other person though, before the whole blowing up and being fixed thing, and yes i feel it, Lorenzo is blocked by his shield, un phased by the impact of the side of building that fell upon us.

" Here they come" Lorenzo says as he takes apart the machine he made to shield himself and makes instead a Jacked up motorcycle with a plow that can use the plow, something about the piece of smart car he put on the back of it, and gyroscopic whatever you'd have to ask him about that, "I'll be back" He says as he drives off in his new contraption clearing a path out of the rubble along the way, out of that path come Cynthia and Becca, holding hands? no it looks awful and uncomfortable. "So hope, What now? Cynthia says as she gives me a cold hard stare. "Yea what now?", "what about your date?", Sneers Cynthia you can see that she is done with all this, not tired but dirty since her power doesn't protect her clothing," I would have to change" you can tell this annoys Becca but she keeps her cool.

"So we agreed to stop fighting long enough to figure out what your doing because we do not want to share", Says Becca, "But Becca we haven't been together for 3 years, and for 2 of those years you didn't even so much as say hi to me when we all go to the tax man at the end of the year" I say to her. "I was just waiting for you to make your move" I know I put you through many incidents with my reckless behavior, and general meanness " she lowers her head and says "I'm really sorry" I went to therapy but that didn't work i was told that my anger is part of my ability. So I went to her myself". "You didn't...." I turn my head to the side "no no i did" and i did it like a week after you broke it off, i just waited for you to make your move" I really loved you already and i just didn't want to hurt you anymore" Shiela made that happen." "You know that's permanent right?" Yeah I know , but i knew i wanted to with your permanently when i did it anyway, but just this way i can't hurt you" ok i think to myself, if she really went to Shiela and requested a love and peace mind change i can't send her away, i mean i liked her alot back then , however like i said she would injure and sometimes even explode me.

"Ok ,then let Cynthia go Becca", and we can talk for real because that's a big step, she releases her and Becca Cynthia immidialy flys off," See i told you she would run", "That's not the point Becca, i'm owndering why you went to Shiela, and without saying anything, doesn't she need me to be able to imprint onto oyu anyway?" , Yeah she told me that she does it that way to avoid lawsuits but i'm a special case on account of my abilities and destructive tendancies we were able to exstrpolate enouph data from video of you in the news and other media to establish enouph for the profile, i didnt know it was going to cost me 50 thousand dollars , i only brought 10 but she worked with me,". "This is all a bit much, if your not lying then come here right now and we can wait for Cynthia together, I know she will come back, your just going to have to accept that i have a date tonight with her that i have already planned, you will join us", "OMG really i can??!?!" spouts Becca Picking me up and squeezing me a little too hard cracking two of my ribs my sternum an my back paralyzing me, she sets me down and i crumple to the ground unable to walk and in agony, my eyes burst into flame a bit and i put them out, i puff out a plum of fire and just say, "I command you to reset me one time", OMGF i should have been more specific like break my neck or something because boy she just starting wailing on me and hitting and hitting until my head was mush, then i finally bust into flames and became whole again ,"I command you to be even softer with me". She gives me a blank stare and then comes back to looking at me normal, i don't wanna look like that again, so i hold my arms up as if to offer a hug she comes into me hug and, it's pleasant she almost seems soft, this would take some getting used to I'd say, "I do love you Becca", she nods, " I know that you only left because I couldn't stop hurting you, it's not like I could just take a drug and be fine, this was the only way I--" , i put my finger on her lips, and draw her closer to me as my nose hovers close to hers, click clack click clack click, Cynthia is walking back down the street, with her hair all done trying not to mess it up in high heels. "Did i miss the party because it's obvious that it has already begun," she motions towards us and how we are holding each other. "No the party is just getting started" i laugh a bit and struggle to get loose of Becca's iron grip, she grabs me again like around the side this time a bit tighter but not hurting me, i know better than to struggle at this point so i just continue to talk with her holding onto my side. "I told Becca that i would still take you on the date we had planned as long as you don't mind that she tags along, we've talked and i've decided to um, "keep her", i look at Becca in the eyes and she nods her head as if to approve. "ok that's settled now how about you Cynthia, would you still date me? well you'd have to share because after what she's done she will never have to be alone again
