Surviving

"Switch to lethal weaponry" shouted one of the criminals.

A battle broke out in the middle of the street, Jack and Ed carried Liberty and Roxy to the sidewalk, while me, Liz and Steve ran towards them. I counted 35 armed people, I found it strange that they all had the same face and the same clothes except 3 people who were watching the battle from afar.

"Let's get out of here," Zoe said.

Roxy starts to move slowly.

"I'll stay," Roxy said.

"Why?" asked everyone.

"Maybe I can help, I can't just run away," Roxy replied.

"You are not fully recovered, you can barely stand and your sister is passed out, you must be crazy to think that we are going to leave you here, I'll warn you if you try to enter this battle the way you are I'll punch you myself and I take the force," Zoe said irritably.

Roxy doesn't say anything and we all hurriedly leave. Until Roxy, who was being carried by Steve manages to escape and goes to the middle of the street.

"How did she get away?" asked Liz.

"She bit me," Steve replied.

One of the criminals who were watching decides to join in, he heads towards Roxy. Roxy tries to use her powers but fails, and one of the criminals captures her.

"Looks like we hit the jackpot," said a criminal in sunglasses and red clothes.

The criminal in the red clothes and sunglasses grabs Roxy by the neck and starts squeezing. Suddenly a backpack hits the criminal in the face, making him let go, Zoe appears and rescues Roxy, the criminal is furious and takes a knife in his waist and tries to stab Zoe. Meanwhile Roxy manages to get up and tries to use her powers again, the criminal seeing this tries to stab her, but Zoe throws herself in front of her, hitting her arm.

"Zoe" yelled Roxy.

Zero uses his gravity powers to take out Zoe and Roxy, Rox and the other hero manage to defeat part of the criminals, the two criminals who were watching seeing that they were losing decide to abandon the others. The criminal in the red suit decides to run away, he presses a button and some of the criminals start to explode, but Rox manages to capture them.

"Zoe are you okay?" asked Jack.

"Yes, it's just a scratch," Zoe replied.

"Why did you do that ?" asked Liz slapping Roxy.

Roxy is unresponsive, the heroes gathered with the group and checked that everything was ok. Everyone returned to their homes after a day of adventure, Roxy and Liberty were fully recovered after a while.

At Roxy and Liberty's house

"Mom, Dad, I want to join your superhero training," says Roxy.

"It's not just training, it's more like a school. But why would you want to participate, didn't you make fun of your sister for it?" asked Roxy's mother confused.

"Was it because of what happened today?" asked Roxy's father.

"I couldn't protect my friends, nor my sister, I felt useless" replied Roxy.

"Okay, I'll let you participate, but you'll have to promise to try hard," said Roxy's father.

"I promise" said Roxy stepping out of the room.
