CHAPTER TWO

I fell into a deep, empty, inky blackness and, for a moment, could not see where I was. But I could tell I was falling, falling down, but to where, I couldn’t say. All I could tell was that I was falling into endless darkness, feeling the wind rush by me as I fell.

Then, without warning, a light shone below me and I fell out of the darkness and into the light. It took me a second to realize that I was back in Rumsfeld, only now I was about a mile above the city falling to my doom.

But it didn’t matter. I could still fly, after all. I tried to activate my flight powers so I could make a safe landing, but oddly, I did not feel the usual sensation of power that flowed through me whenever I used my flight power. It was like I had somehow lost my powers, even though I still wore the Trickshot costume and the Trickshot Watch.

“TW!” I said in my head as I fell. “What’s wrong with my suit? Why can’t I fly?”

“I’m not sure,” said TW. “I think something in that hole might have interfered with the suit’s—”

TW’s voice suddenly shattered, turning into a loud, irritating buzzing noise like radio static. It was deafening in my mind, briefly making me forget that I was falling to my doom.

“TW?” I shouted in my head. “TW, are you there? TW?”

Unfortunately, all I heard was the strange static that had interrupted his voice. And even worse, the pavement was drawing closer and closer, to the point where I was sure I was going to become little more than smashed meat once I hit the pavement.

I desperately tried to access my powers again and again, but I couldn’t feel them whatsoever. It didn’t help that the static in my head was getting louder and louder with each passing second, to the point where I could barely even hear my own thoughts. I had no idea what happened to TW or my suit, but I knew that if I didn’t do something soon, my life and my superhero career were about to end.

Just as I passed the roof of the tallest building, I suddenly felt power flood my limbs and my powers activate again. I activated my flight powers at the last possible second, skirting over the pavement and shooting back up into the sky, before I went back down and landed on the street next to a lamppost, which I leaned against for support. Adrenaline flooded my entire being, making my heart race as I panted and tried to catch my breath.

“Hmph,” said Holes, who was still standing on top of the car where I had left him before. “What a disappointment. I thought for sure that you were going to land head first onto the street and die. I forgot about your flight powers. Guess I’ll just have to kill you myself.”

Holes jumped off car and strode toward me without any fear in his step.
