Away from School
Ellen looked down at Sam and placed a light blanket over her. Taking out her own phone, she wrote out a text at a slower pace from her daughter but it went to the same destination. "Hi Scott, this is Ellen. Sam fell asleep so just let me know what you and Kat decide. We would all be happy to see both of you for dinner." Scott and Kat... So now what? Kat asked as she sat in the passenger seat of the Camaro and watched the house as Scott drove off. "Too early for dinner but if you want to head over to Sam's I'm ok with it. I should check in with Di though..." Even as Kat was talking, Scott felt and heard his phone announce a new text but he found his attention was on his rear view mirror. There was a dark grey BMW a block behind them and Scott was almost certain he had seen at least two other cars just like it on the way to Kat's house. |

Sure it went against his better judgement, but Scott decided to ignore the shady cars he had been seeing. "I can make a portal for you to the school, then head over to Sam's for a few minutes and come pick you up when you're ready. Sound like a plan?" Scott smiled at his sister, turning the corner and opening up a portal to the school in the backseat, specifically to the girl's locker room which he knew would be empty at the moment. "Call me when you're ready to get picked up. Love ya Sis."

Scott...
"Love me how?" Kat replied as she made a face and jumped through the portal. She laughed for a minute in the locker room as she thought of peeling out in the garage and Scott's reaction. She hadn't considered that her car was a manual when she decided to leave the keys for it behind but it might be better for him not to know that she had learned on one and drove them almost exclusively. Fighting super evil people he didn't seem to have a problem with but leaving half the tires behind in the garage really had him shaken. Hearing noise from the gym, a lot of noise, Kat peered out to see students milling around. Spotting Diana and Juliet, Kat headed out to join them. When Scott made a turn, he spotted a second grey BMW turn in after the first to make two following him. Looking ahead from the rear-view mirror, Scott sees another one turn from a side street and head in the direction that is was driving about a block ahead of him. |

Scott drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, looking ahead of him again, then at the rear view mirror. Why can't I ever play hooky and have a normal day...? He shifted into a higher gear, speeding off and drifting around the corner where the BMW ahead of him had pulled out from, shifting into a higher gear again and hauling it away from the cars, keeping an eye behind him to see if they followed.

Looking in the rear view mirror, Scott saw the two BMW's behind him turn the corner to give chase. Although Scott had little doubt that his baby could lose them, especially if he created a portal, he realized only too late that he was being kept distracted from the large Nissan Armada SUV that emerged from behind a moving van parked to his left.
The driver of the Armada must have been highly skilled since it had to have been moving already and not coming from a dead stop. The Armada slammed into the side of the Camaro near the back of the driver's door and tossed it into the air even as the Camaro kept its forward momentum. The side airbag deployed even as the car was sent airborne. |

"**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****!!!" Scott desperately tried to regain control of the vehicle as he went soaring through the air, realizing what a wasted effort that was because he was SOARING THROUGH THE AIR!

There was little that Scott could do while the Camaro was flying through the air but whether it was natural talent, incredible engineering by the part of Chevrolet, sideswiping a parked car with the passenger side or pure dumb luck, Scott regained control of the car as it hit the ground. It was fishtailing and swerving all over the pavement as he tried to drive in a straight line but he manged to do it even as he realized the damage would total the car.
He didn't need to have a shop tell him that the frame was badly bent and the suspension on the passenger side severely compromised. The throttle seemed to be stuck as well and the engine was racing out of control. Despite all that, the car was still moving forward although there was little chance he would outrace the BMW's. |

As soon as Scott's heart started beating again, he looked in the rear view mirror at the cars behind him, practically snarling as he opened a portal in the middle of the road, connecting it to a nice fall of about fifty feet into the nearby river. "YOU KILLED MY BABY, YOU BASTARDS!!!"

The first BMW didn't have a chance and it barely swerved as it drove into the portal Scott created. The second BMW's driver showed his skill and somehow manged to avoid the portal although it was close. The Armada, looking remarkably intact, turned in the irection of Scott and began picking up speed at an alarming rate. Looking in front once again, Scott saw another BMW headed directly at him.

"Right, rampage time." Scott gave the steering wheel a loving squeeze, then teleported out of the vehicle, grabbing his costume and using his powers to slip it on in seconds. He turns back to the approaching cars, opening two portals up on the road, each directly in front of the vehicles, leading through to each other. "I'm going to enjoy breaking your vehicles, you sons of $%*!#@!!!"

The driver of the second BMW once again showed an incredible level of skill and the BMW seemed to spin around the portal but there just wasn't time to get out of the way of the third BMW coming through from the other side. The third BMW hit the rear side of the second and they both go spinning out of control.
The Camaro immediately begins to slow but hits another car on the side of the street, careens into the curb and finally comes to rest with one wheel turned sideways. It is clear it isn't driving away under its own power. The Armada is coming on fast, accelerating much faster than Scott expected, and it is roaring right at him. Scott is suddenly struck from behind and he feels multiple bullets impact him from behind. Last edited by Daygamer; 06-02-2012 at 12:35 AM. |

Shrugging off the hail of bullets, Scott's shockwave hits the rear wheels and axle of the Armada. The vehicle flips up and over onto its top, losing speed quickly and sliding to a stop.
Turning around, Scott sees a helicopter with the side door open but being pulled shut by the gunner who just shot him. Even as the door shuts the helicopter descends behind the building and out of sight. A man emerges from one of the nearby BMWs and fires a large rifle-looking weapon at Scott. He is suddenly engulfed in a net that pulls tight all around him and throws him off-balance. |

Scott thrashed around as he was hit by the net, forcing himself to calm down and stand still for a moment as he looked at a spot on the ground, attempting to teleport out of the net. Today just isn't my day...
