You Can Trust Me

I walked around full of caution going down the stairs.

When I get to the bottom of the building I see a group of the villain on the street.

I see fire and chaos erupting the city.

I hide behind a dumpster.

Then I see Croc approach the leader.

"Where's that journalist?"

"I dropped her but I didn't see her at the bottom."

"DAMN IT!! YOUR TELLING ME SHES ALIVE AGAIN?!"

"I'm sorry."

"YOU SEE HER YOU KILL HER!!! Gentlemen.... We have a hero that has arrived.... In the shadows... Find him or them... And kill them!!!"

I tensed seeing them scatter. I pressed hard against the dumpster then I hear footsteps coming to me. I felt tears come.

"Fuck... What do I do?!" I said to myself.

I hear the footsteps right next to me.

I curled in a ball shaking badly.

I see the figure walk facing away.

My eyes widen as it was the Croc.

'No... Not him....'

When he turned around. My eyes closed waiting for death.

I heard a thud with a breeze hitting my hard.

I open my eyes but everything was dark.

I then felt something over my mouth.

I tensed wanting to scream but I stopped when I realized the familiar icy blue eyes in front of me.

I hear the footsteps going away.

Then I can see the light again.

I felt the hand leave my face.

"Mysterion.. What did you do?" I whispered.

He pulled out his cape.

"You know villains are idiots when it comes to camouflage."

I smiled throwing myself at him for a tight hug.

"Thank you so much Mysterion."

He hugged me for a second then pulled me away.

"Jess you need to be more careful, your always getting yourself into trouble."

"I'm sorry I can't help it, I'm a magnet when it comes to danger."

"We all see that.. We just don't want to lose you is all."

"Thank you... I'm trying but... It's hard to get back home... With them flooding the streets."

"I know...."

He looked past me.

Suddenly he pushed me against the wall shielding me with his cape again with his hands next to my face against the wall.

I look up seeing him looking deep in my eyes.

I slowly blinked looking up at him feeling my face heat up slightly.

I hear the footsteps go away.

I cleared my throat.

"So uhh somewhere safe?"

"Oh uhh..."

He backed away looking around.

"I... will find somewhere for you."

He grabbed my hand guiding me to a location.

"Mysterion?"

"Yeah?"

"Is it true.... You all are hiding?"

He stopped walking immediately.

"...It's their leader... He can control people... Muscles, bones, everything..... We can't find his weakness like we did with the others... He can take us all out... With his numbers we will all surely die... We need to find his weakness... Then we can show ourselves.."

"Wait... The guy who can control your body? He controlled me several times.. I think.. If he has his eye off of you he can't control you."

He looked back at me shocked. "So.... You thinking when he gets distracted then he loses his ability?"

I nod.

"When you all are down, I threw my camera at his face. Whenever he closed his eyes holding his face he couldn't control you guys anymore. I think he has to see you in order to control you."

"Okay.... We are going to try something but I need your help."

"Sure, what do you need me to do?"

"Can you trust me?"

I nod.

He looked behind him past the dumpster.

"I hate to ask but...."

"I'm not scared Mysterion, I can go out there."

He looked taken back by my comment.

"I won't let them hurt you okay?"

I nod. "It's okay. I trust you."

I slowly get up looking past the dumpster. I see the leader alone looking around.

'Perfect..'

I slowly walked to him as Mysterion stayed hidden.

He stopped and quickly turned facing me with a wide grin.

"Well, well, well... If it isn't the journalist....." he growled.

I kept walking toward him until I stopped in mid step feeling the strong force all over my body preventing me from moving a muscle.

He held up his hand walking up to me.

"What I wonder is..how do you keep getting thrown from the same building and come out alive? You should be on the road over there being new roadkill but here you are. You threw your god forsaken camera at my face. You killed Heat Stroke and now...your taunting me?! Well... Hope a hero can save you now because I won't go easy on you." He said balling his fists toward me.

I feel an overwhelming force like I was being crushed causing me get on one knee.

I felt his ability forcing me look up at him at him.

"Why are you not scared of me...do you not know who I am? Do you know who you fucked with?!"

"I know your the leader of the villains in South Park."

"That's right. So.... Tell me insect."

I grit my teeth feeling my other knee hit the ground hard. I placed my hands on the ground feeling heavy force on my body forcing me to the ground.

I felt force on my face making me look up again. I grit my teeth looking up at him.

"Where are the heroes?"

"I..... Don't know... What your... Talking about." I managed to say as he was crushing the life out of me.

"Don't play dumb with me little girl. Unless you have a super ability that we are not aware of because in that case...."

I felt a lot of pressure on my neck choking me.

I gasped for air but I couldn't get the slightest bit of air in me.

"Now.....Where are they hiding?!"

I struggle to breath feeling my eyes roll back with my mouth gaped open.

Before I knew it the area was covered in smoke.

I breathed in hard but coughed harshly breathing in smoke. I hear the villain coughing up a lung too.

I felt is ability fade away.

My eyes widen as I felt something grab my arm.

I was about to scream but a hand was placed over my mouth.

I see Mysterion covering my mouth. He quickly ran still holding my arm running out of the smoke.

We ran to the same alleyway as before. We both hid behind the dumpster.

"Did the power wear off?"

I nod holding my throat still coughing.

"I think if he doesn't see you then... He can't use the ability."

"Yeah that's what I'm thinking too."

He looked back again seeing the smoke clearing up.

"Come with me..it's not safe here.."

"Wait, where are you taking me?"

"Can I trust you?"

He grabbed my hand

I nod looking up at him.

"Good, because your going to my headquarters."

My eyes widen completely dumbfounded.

"R-really?"

"As long as you don't write about it putting it on the news."

"I.... Won't Mysterion... I know its Top Secret."

"That's what I was hoping you'd say."

He held his arm out touching his watch.

"Don't let go of my hand okay?"

I nod squeezing his hand tight.

Within a second I felt a gust a wind hit. I closed my eyes. When I opened them I felt my heart jolt in surprise.
