"I think you've got plenty here to get you to the nearest gas station," I said as I clamped the gas can nozzle shut."Sure am," she happily replied. "I don't really have anything to repay you with. I'd sure like to pay you back somehow.""It's fine. Like I said, I just wanted to help to get you back home.""Well," she said as she casually slithered her arms around the back of my neck, "you won't mind if I insist on repaying you, will you?""Oh," I replied in amazement before she planted a brief kiss on my lips and grinned. "Wow."She giggled. "You are pretty cute, you know and very helpful."To my surprise, she began leading me back toward her van with a mischievous look in her eyes. I was very intrigued as to where this was headed."You're really serious about this, aren't you?"She blindly opened the back door of the van where she'd been lounging earlier."Super serious," she replied with a big smirk as she tumbled back into the van. She laughed as she pulled me in with her, causing

Just then, it held its palm out to me. I reacted without thinking, lifting my leg away just as a strange, small portal opened up at my feet and then closed back up."What the hell was that?" I asked in confusion."A dimensional rip." The other two calmly floated up to return to the first's side. "You are a worthy foe. Indeed, we have never had to use our power aggressively. Practical usage of our strength is as new to us as it is to you. However, be aware that you may be fast, but not fast enough. We will continue to create dimensional rips of any size we wish. Once caught in them, your body will be trapped, consumed, and then cease to exist."Needless to say, I didn't really like the sound of that idea."Or you could just back off and let me get back to my normal life. I don't need to use my time-stopping power any longer.""The risk is simply too great.""Then catch me if you can," I replied before making myself invisible. The three seemed to be caught off-guard, slowly turning thei

About a week later, I had begun to settle into a patrol around the city. It was late night on Friday. I was soaring invisibly through the air, scouting for any possible trouble. My senses were sharpening to a point where nothing was able to escape me. I could see and hear things clearly from incredible distances. At a hundred feet overhead, I heard a guy coming out of a gas station drop his wallet. There was another man hanging out against the wall of the building that watched him. I came to a slow stop, but the first man simply scooped up his wallet and continued on his way without incident. Looked like it was shaping up to be another quiet night.I'd also started to make it a habit of getting free car rides with strangers to keep me closer to the street. I descended downward upon spotting a roaming police car. I calmly took a seat atop the hood of the car, my legs folded, keeping a watch out. Of course, the police within the car were unable to see me. With the police cars, it gave m

We walked into the open entrance of a large dining hall. She led me down a few steps onto the floor, heading straight for the bar in the very center of the whole thing. A pianist played a soft melody on the piano nearby. Yes, I know, pianist. All the while, Cassandra remained courteous and polite to those 'uptight stiffs' that greeted her as she walked by. She certainly seemed to know a lot of them. I felt really out of place escorting someone who was rubbing elbows with millionaires.She took a seat at the nearest bar stool and sighed quietly. She placed her purse on the counter while I took a seat next to her. Again, I found myself a little intimidated. I'd never drank, therefore I'd never ordered drinks before. I only remember being told to stay away from the bar as a kid, since that was always grown-up territory. The many hundreds of alcohol bottles lining the circular wall behind the bartender confused me. What do I even order? I racked my brain trying to remember the names of ma

"I want you so much...." I replied as I rested my head on her chest. "I want to ... suck your boobies."The elevator doors opened and she led me down the empty hallway."Don't worry about me, everyone!" I exclaimed. "I'm a superhero, I can take care of ... myself.""Even superheroes have to sleep it off, sweetie," she replied. She pulled out a key from her purse and unlocked her door. "Come on, in you go.""Whoo!" I exclaimed as she led me stumbling into her apartment. The place looked nice, at least from what I could see through my wobbly vision; smelled nice, too. She took me into the bedroom and laid me down on the bed."There you go," she said as she helped get my head on the pillow."But I'm not even naked yet," I mumbled."You don't have to be naked," she softly reassured me. "just lay down."I figured I was just imagining things when I saw her slip off her heels and then calmly slide in on the other side of the bed. That is, until I felt her put her arms around me. She held me
