Fires Bricks Snakes and Cats

by Jerry J. Vahn

After Ghost and the big guy, who talked in third person and called himself Der Westcoute or something like that, he had a really bad German accent so it was hard to tell, went through the wall and I followed over the wall.
 
What a nice surprise, a nest full of NAGA. While ostensibly the cops, they are more corrupt than many of the old police were. I figure that I should be able to begin to take away their guns. Off I go. I get the first gun then run outside.
 
Just as I turn around to go get another gun, Wildthing lands on the hood of the car coming up the street. Wildthing roars something at the direction that she flew from. At first, I thought she was just upset about landing on the car upside-down, but no, it couldn't be that easy.
 
There was this cat lady standing there, and unfortunately it wasn't some old cat lady with a clower around her, no this was a disaster. As I am looking at her, a bright flash of lightning hits her. Hey thanks.....
 
Well all that did was pass her off, she turns and flips a car over. What is it with these people, leave the civilians alone!
 
I run over to her to try and punch her "Really? A car, with people in it? Try to hit me!" Apparently I talk to much, she was able to evade my punches. She was really sniffing the air and that seemed to let her know where I was.
 
Oh man, you have to be careful for what you wish for. She really rang my bell. What was I thinking in taunting her. Well, on the good side, she stopped going after the people in the car.
 
After I clear my head, I go and do what I can to help the people in the car. I get the man out and to the side of the building. "Hidedude,whileItrytogettheladyout!" I'm not sure that the guy understood me, I might have been speaking too fast.
 
I get back to the car, and start to reach in when it is suddenly flipping in the air again. It lands on its roof again and I am pinned underneath it.
 
I wiggle and push my way out from under the car and look down the street. What a surprise, two NAGA dips with big guns are firing. This is no good. It's bad enough that all these other powered buffoons are out and about, now we also have to contend with two dimwits don't have any fire control.
 
I shake my head and run down the street to take the guns from these two idiots. "Whereisyourfirecontrolyouidiots? Can'tyouseethereareinnocentpeoearound?"
 
Over the radio, I hear that the flame guy has taken off. Apparently Wildthing has taken off after him, Ghost slams into the crazy cat lady into the back of the blue bubble she is in. Not sure when that happened, but she umps to the bottom of the bubble. That's good.
 
They caught the flame guy, good.
