Chapter 5

I woke early to my phone ringing. I glanced over. Seeing the call from my boss I answered groggily.

"Hello."

"I need you to fight Heatwave again. They're trying to burn down some guys' houses now."

"Be there soon."

I suited up and left the school. It was so early that no one else was awake yet. I headed to the coordinates and spotted Heatwave. She must've heard me approaching because she turned around and I saw her left eye was black and swollen. I was concerned for a second but I needed to act. I tried to take control of her mind but something was blocking me from using my powers.

"Hello there Violet Skull." said Heatwave "Here to save this innocent man?"

"Leave him alone. I'd rather you burn me than hurt civilians."

"Come on honey. We all know I would never hurt you."

"Honey? Who gave you the right to call me honey?"

"Well, you did. Last time we kissed."

"We never kissed! Leave me alone!" I screamed

Suddenly there was a force overwhelming my mind. I walked forward even though I was telling my legs to stop. Soon I was in front of Heatwave. I tried hard to escape but she kissed me and I unwillingly kissed her back. Then I was thrown into an alleyway by some invisible force.

"How does it feel to be under the control of your own powers?" Asked Heatwave

"How?" Was all I could get out

"My friend here stole your power for his own. Don't worry though it'll be back in a few minutes. So long for now." She kissed me once more and left.
