Time for some thrilling heroics!

The rampaging monster charged down the narrow street. In front of it, a small car, trapped between an over turned truck and a fallen tree blocking it's path. A young woman sits in the car, fumbling with the straps of a young child's seat. Her eyes are wide with fear as the huge creature lumbers forward, stretching it's arm and reaching for the car.  A piercing scream fills the air, overpowering the crying of the child still trapped in the back seat. The monster's massive claws wrap around the car lifting it up into the air and throwing it towards a nearby building, both passengers frozen in terror, the young woman's eyes clenched closed.

From high above, the cry is heard. A blue and orange streak flies though the air, catching the thrown vehicle. The driver feels the sudden stop, and then silence. As she slowly opens her eyes, she hears her baby's small giggle. Eyes wide, she looks to see the city around her ascending slowly and the sound of the vehicle's rear tires touching down on the ground. As the front end of her car slowly lowers down to the ground, the young driver again freezes as she stares transfixed at her savior, gripping at her own light blue shirt.

"Hey, I think you dropped this!"

Ms. Metropolis smiles, setting the car down on the ground. She looks to the woman and child in the car, letting out a sigh of relief knowing they are alright. She flashes the two a bright smile and a thumbs up as she walks away from the car. She looks to the monster, now studded to see such a small person stopping his immense power, then pauses. She looks back to the woman, clutching her shirt. Ms. Metropolis catches the logo on the woman's shirt, the same as her own symbol on her chest. From the corner of her eye, Ms. Metropolis sees the license plate of the car and smiles. She looks to the driver, mouthing to her "Nice shirt!" and offers another of her famous smiles.

The woman in the car takes a sharp breath, watching Ms. Metropolis's eyes change, becoming narrow and focused. She watched Ms. Metropolis turn to face the monster, it's own gaze now focused on the hero. She stares in wonderment as the hero gives a small smirk and charges headlong towards the monster. "I knew there was a reason I liked her."
