"For a newbie, you don't fly that bad"

"For a paladin, you don't give great compliments" I sass back. Static and I are flying side by side in our way to... I don't even know, I'm kinda just following him. "So what are we doing again?"

"I am going to watch you make a fool of yourself and then I'll swoop in to save the day. But that will be enough for the media to notice you" static winks as he passes me, this flying and floating thing is so unfair. He can fly the same way I walk. But I can float the same way someone drinks water upside down. Which let me tell you, it ain't easy.

"Hold up, fool of myself?" I point at my smile, making me drift to the left so instead I just smile. " I'm a badass."

Static laughs, I swear I heard that laugh before from afar. "okay how about you prove me wrong"

I was about to bark back when I spot the robbery happening. Two black cars are parked right outside. ON RED ZONE! That's a ticket right there, but as I stare more at it, I realize that there getaway cars. I noice static starts slowing down. A yellow glint appears in his eyes. He's signature move when he's done something to the electricity.

"Electricity is down so now it's your turn, Carter" static "dusted" his shoulder, props to him. He did just turn the lights off by just looking at it at least a quarter mile away. "Land on the building. I'll watch from here."

I feel a pat on my back, and I make my way to the bank. I don't know if I should be scared or excited as I get nearer. Slowly I land on top of the building. I look around me to see where I can make a smooth entrance and see a hatch. What kind of bank would have a hatch on the roof?

I rush over to it and open it, I did want to be extra and like blow it off but I can't even control my powers so that will have to wait. I climb down the ladder as silent as I can when I hear voices. At least two different voices have to be in here. I step of the ladder and look around.

Two men are trying to open the door, which is a sliding door. I breath a sign of relief, the doors are electric and therefore they can't run away. I step towards them, someone's going down. As I'm walking, a man stands up straight facing away from me.

"Well, if it isn't static. Should've known it was you when the lights went off. Not that original buddy." The guy in the blue shirt turns around and he clearly look taken aback " I stand corrected"

The other guy in the black shirt also turns around and starts laughing. I just stand there, not knowing how to react. I looks back and forth between the two guys.

"Cats got your tongue?" Black shirt says as he steps closer to me. He looks around the age of 25, and let me tell you he ain't gonna age well.

"You have say something babe" blue shirt backs up black shirt as they both start walking towards my frozen body. "What fun is it if you don't talk?"

They are about 10 feet away when I finally find my voice. "Don't move" I mutter "or I'll blow you away"

Wow great Carter, blow you away. Let's make that your slogan since it's as stupid as you at the moment.

"Your beauty is already breathtaking" blue shirt mutters back, but stops walking. Black shirt on he other hand has the balls to keep walking.

As I promised, I put my right hand up and blast black shirt with a strong rush of air. Slamming him against the locked door. Grunts come out of him. He looks unable to stand, his body weak from the hit.

"You stupid b*tch!" Blue shirt yells as he runs towards me, pulling a gun out of his pockets. I lift my left hand and blast him with more air than black shirt. Fear leaves my body as I see what I'm capable off.

Blue shirt slams against a window, his gun spirals on the ground. I calmly walk towards it and grab it from the ground. "Someone has a potty mouth." I smile as I grab blue shirt, ripping some of his shirt.

I turn him around, throwing him on the ground face down. I start tying his hands together in a tight knot.

"Hm, maybe Girl Scout is good for something" I smile as I finish the knot. I move on to black shirt and do the same. Both grunting in pain. I push them away from the door and stand in front of it. Raising my hands as I blast the door off, cops car and ambulances are outside, a fence of caution tape separating us.

Being as extra I can be, I blow the men outside. They land on the cement with a slam that will probably leave a scar. As I step out, cops and people are shocked at what they see. Seconds pass by until the cops figured out what to do. They rushed to the scene and picked up the guys. I see them getting thrown into a police car.

As I'm about to fly off, cameras and newscastors surround me. Catching me off guard, shoving there microphones into my face.

I start getting shy until I remember that I'm wearing a mask, confidence returns to my body as I hear the first question.

"Who are you?" "What's your name?" "Can we get an interview!"

I look all around, trying to find which question I should answer first. A CNN microphone is shoved right in my face, a camera with it as well. " who are you?"

I remember what Static told me about the news making a name for me. Well I guess I found a loophole.

I face the camera. " I'm Hydroa"

The cameras and flash all go off at the same time, questions bombarded me once again. Since I got to pick out my name, I'm out.

I start floating away as cameras stay focused on me as I drift away.

"Mom I'm home!" I walk through my front door, I take off my shoes and drop my bag.

I couldn't find static anywhere so I decided to just go home and relax. I walk into the living room, I see my mom sitting on the couch with popcorn in her arms.

"Oo yum!" I jump on the couch next my mom as I shove a handful of popcorn into my mouth.

"Things like this make me not want you as daughter." My mom stern face looks at me. A smile cracks when she sees me get more popcorn. "How was your day?"

"Normal, Tayler helped me out on my homework." I grab the control and switch channels.

Wait what? I click back. Am I on the news? The screen shows a woman talking in front of the same bank I went too.

"Since when do you like the news?" My mom asks, I ignore her. I want to hear everything.

"Today we have seen a new paladin. She goes by the name Hydroa. The new hero has just saved west Fargo bank from two criminals with weapons. Will she protect our city from now on? Back to you Robert."

The camera switches back to the recording studio. A guy with a funny mustache is now in the screen.

"Thank you Rebecca. Hydroa has certainly blew us away with her powers, as you can see from this never before seen security footage."

The tv is now showing me blowing the robbers at the window, and blue shirt pointing a gun at me, I mean "Hydroa", and blowing him away without hesitation. Almost effortless.

The screen changes back and Robert is talking about climate changes now. I lean back on the couch.

"That's great. New paladins" my mom munches, "stingray is still my favorite"

Stingray once, according to my mom, saved her from a school fire way back in the days. Been her role model ever since so I wouldn't blame her. But I'm still going to try to make her change her mind to black storm

"Of course he is mom." I stand up, "um mom, I have to go to sleep. School got me overworked.

"Carter, its 6. Are you feeling okay?" She questions, I nod as I walk off to my room.

I was about to lay on my bed when my phone starts ringing. I answer it without checking caller ID.

"Carter! Is that you!" Tayler voice screeches, I back away from the phone and give a small laugh.

" yes it's me?"

"No! On tv! Is it you?"

"No, psh that's Hydroa." A smile creeps on my lips

"Omfg! Your epic! You went bam and he went swosh and you went slam and bam and it was incredible"

"Um thank you?"

"Carter! You have to go to Kent school, you have to be the best paladin." And with that she hangs up the phone.

I giggle, maybe Tayler is right and I should just go without thinking it twice.

I put my phone on the night stand, my suit snuggles underneath my pillow. You never know when help is needed.

My eyes close, and my mind drifts to static removing his mask and underneath the mask is a.....dog?
