3: Cops and Villains

I’m not ashamed to admit that I screamed like a hero who just realized they’d completely overestimated their ability to go toe to toe with the great Night Terror, though after this encounter that was an analogy I was going to have to reconsider even though it was one of my favorites. It’s not like I was afraid of heights or flying. I did it all the time with the antigravity units built into my suit.

The problem was that when I was flying with those antigravity units I was at least using a piece of technology I could understand. I put power from my reactor into the nice machine I built and the laws of physics took five and ignored me for awhile. It was simple, it was elegant, and most importantly I understood exactly how it worked because I was the one who invented the damn thing.

This, though, this was a completely different experience. All the connections between my suit’s reactor and the antigravity units were severed, so there was absolutely nothing to save my bacon if this chick and suddenly got butterfingers and sent me falling a couple thousand feet to my doom. I didn’t even have my shields or the inertial dampeners to absorb the impact so that I’d only break every bone in my body.

I was completely at her mercy. I hated being completely at someone else’s mercy.

I had no idea what was holding me up. I also hated not knowing how I was flying. There was still that slight sparkling shimmer close to her skin. I briefly wondered if my theory that she somehow manipulated the molecules in her immediate vicinity to somehow provide her flight ability had some truth to it.

I didn’t have enough information. I was being dragged through the air by a super powered being I didn’t understand who was blessed with a power of flight that made no rational sense. She was disobeying the laws of physics just as a cavalierly as I did, only there wasn’t any obvious technology to back her up.

It was infuriating and terrifying.

Of course along with the terror I was also getting a different kind of rush. She’d repositioned me so her arm was wrapped around me, which was just fine by me. I didn’t like the idea of my entire life hanging on her ability to keep her grip. She seemed really damn strong, but I’d only known her for about twenty minutes, most of that fighting, and I really didn’t want to test the limits of her strength while I was dangling a few thousand feet above the city.

Of course wrapping her arm around me had the added effect of pulling me against her. Pulling me against that incredible body. Pulling me up so that I was right next to her gorgeous face.

I closed my eyes and a goofy grin spread across my face.

“Is something wrong?”

I opened my eyes. I hadn’t even realized I’d closed them. I didn’t even realize I had a ridiculous goofy grin on my face! Damn it.
