A blade to the throat meant nothing against the pulsating ichor. The monster trampled atop humans like stepping stones on their way to me. The rabbits multiplied by their side bringing them to their feet and continuing their journey to safety β it was all I could do. But there was a miscalculation. The monster was slow but the heat of combat had taken its toll on my skin. I felt it tighten as I pushed myself to produce more and more Dust Bunnies. What was once an easily avoidable, linear lunge became a nearly undodgeable lariat. I ducked and the serrated claws followed, making a home in my shoulder. I was trapped. βYouβve got one chance to retreat, heathen.β A voice booms behind me. And a few more heroes spread onto the field picking up the slack left behind from dissipating Dust Bunnies.

The streets were panicked. People unrelated to the encounter found themselves on the wrong side of the steel scraps. The monster plunged debris from the shadows into illuminated roads, a message to daywalkers and dwellers of light; there are creatures you cannot fathom. βFollow the rabbits!β Dust Bunnies flooded the area. I had lost all the luxuries afforded to me within the alleyway. My lighter had been lost to the darkness and my kindling was leading civilians to the closest approximation of safety they could muster. The monster aimed at me. I avoided fatal injury but what seemed like shallow cuts left my clothes drenched in dreor. But even with my bodyβs limitations constricting my mind and flesh, I sought to engage this creature in solitude. The further we were from people the safer they were. Hands up. Footwork. Light on my feet. Light on my feet. Light on my feet. βFind the pattern,β I muttered, eyeing the steel debris near my feet. βGo for the throat.β

At the mouth of the temple the loud and unwanted boldly proclaimed: heroes are bad, actually. Iβd commend his pluckiness if I werenβt interrupted by rebellious, unwavering youth. βYouβre just a toothpick hero!β She sports tears down her face and white knuckles by her side. The weight of her accusation rests on her pointer finger, a blade she draws against the unholy intruder β a defiler of all that is good and noble. βWith a shit attitude!β βOh, honeyβ¦β Abuela hands me her purse as she warms the cub with her embrace. All it takes is a knee to the ground and a hand to the shoulder for the child to jump in her arms. βYou canβt talk to heroes like that.β She carries the kid out, but not without a few parting words. βEven if theyβre assholes.β I dig out the red and green slips from the purse, mindlessly injecting myself where I need not be. My allegiances are signed in blood, but I offer an olive branch in hopes that he looked to satiate his spirit after feeding his ego. βYouβre not wrong.β Somehow, the most unnerving heroes were those with pure, altruistic intent. I found solace in corruption and greed within the institution β it meant there was a reason to keep the powers that be in control. βBut what kind of hero makes a kid cry?β

The flames melted flesh from bone, revealing a strange silhouette underneath; a body unscathed. The unknown substance layered atop itself until the figure reformed. From this distance, with the flickering shadows obscuring my vision, I couldnβt make heads or tails of what the substance was. Whether a blessing or a curse, Iβd get a firsthand look as spikes crashed against the building. I squeezed in the narrow spaces between each projectile. Steel screamed as they lodged themselves into the fire escape. Its structural integrity faltered like a broken promise. And I only caught a glimpse of what looked to be fiber. Instant karma ignited the only clue I had to their quirk. By this point, everyone underneath had run to either end of the alley. They poured into the streets. And as I braced for impact, my eyes darted across every mole and scar that littered the concrete. Where was my lighter?

Neither Blazing Djinnβs slash nor Kazashiβs kicks were as frustrating as Strongholdβs avatar. I had taken careful steps to avoid it in my hunt for Iphi. Every battlefield needs pawns and I fed the unintelligent and needlessly heroic to the decoy. Were it not for their sacrifice I would have been unable to pinpoint Iphiβs location β their erratic movements limited where the βmastermindβ would have been. Either I should have been faster or they should have been stronger. I sat within Strongholdβs peripherals; an enemy I could not damage. The only solace was that they had targeted Jun and confirmed Iphi as the mastermind. My assumption was a hunch. Having students from different years with varying experiences coordinate amid a disaster was a tall order. Even I wrote off the prospect of deliberate, intricate teamwork. The plan must have been simple. There were no red herrings. But if there wasβ¦ then they expected more of my peers than I did. Still, Iβm stuck. Iβve had a few partners who fought their pants every morning but I only ever helped take them off. Her off-kilter movements made me second-guess every decision. With a partner swarmed by villains, another struck by a titan, and no way to get to Iphiβ¦ Iβd risk everything. From me a bunny, then two. From two to four and from four to sixteen. My continued proliferation would suffocate the trees. I'd cover every inch around me with rabbits until they surrounded the βmastermind.β And should they be destroyed theyβd all turn to smoke, momentarily blinding her β blinding all of us. It allows everyone to do something. I reach into my satchel.

They retreated further, using an air-conditioning unit as cover. Iβm fast but their anatomy gives them an advantage up here. Their make-shift limbs and ability to climb walls turn the city into an obstacle course. They eye the edge of the building, and I see my opportunity while theyβre distracted. I press my foot into the concrete and feel the contraction of my muscles β my jump lands me atop a fire escape on the parallel building. Ironically enough, I breathe a flame into life from my zipper lighter. One might think it a strange decision to slowly lob across the alleyway. But if you look between where I was and where I am, youβll see a black bunny with blue eyes carrying enough momentum to float midair. They multiply from one to a few to dozens. A trail of bunnies chase the criminal which promptly turns into a trail of smoke that ignites once the zippo reaches the pillar. If I can immobilize the enemy, I can arrest them. And way up here I donβt have to worry about the scurrying mice below.

Threads shifted and I thought it was part of Iphiβs defense system. When you operate a range the obvious counterplay is to close in. Anyone worth their salt will find an opening and apply pressure β you have one of two answers. You focus on your ability to soak damage or to avoid it altogether. Having gotten inches from her face, I thought her the former. Iβd figure out the limits of her defense and dismantle it. What I didnβt expect was a human shield. Instead of slowing herself down with the weight of armor or the maintenance of highly sophisticated gear, their cohort acted in their stead. They intercept my attack and I disengage β all I need is a step back to ensure they donβt grab me. As long as Iβm mobile, Iβll have the advantage. Her bias reveals itself. She tests the waters because sheβs not trying to kill me, unlike an actual villain. I donβt care if sheβs a professional; the circumstances demand force. She lobs a jab and I fake a counter hit, a black bunny with blue eyes jumps from my skin to intercept her fist. Itβs destroyed in a hit, black smoke obscuring our vision. I had shared a false intention. I was not going to counter-hit with a punch as I alluded to. Instead, I throw a low kick, hoping to make her knee buckle. There are a few things to note amid the exchange. I received backup only for a moment before we were once again outnumbered. And somewhere in the distance, my bunny is blinded, chomping at the finger that blinded it.

I couldnβt fathom a better confession than volunteering DNA to an (almost) authority. My lubricated ID finds itself in my pocket. I have no intention of letting them escape but Iβll gladly accept their breadcrumbs. In a world full of quirks, your genetic code might be the most important information you can offer. The criminal is either a mutant with distinct physical features or an emitter manipulating some unidentified substance. The quicker I can determine which it is, the easier itβll be to infer its weaknesses. Fortunately for me, Iβve found one already. Theyβre slow. I reach a full sprint in moments and meet them on the wall. Unlike them, I canβt stay there but use my upward momentum to initiate β it looks like Iβm giving them a chance but what Iβm looking for is an opening. βI showed you mine. The least you can do is return the favor.β Their antagonism drips off them. They are worse than anyone else here. I have one rule tonight: No one dies.

The figure puffed out its chest. In New York, heroes are rougher around the edges β just like the city. Life moves fast and people donβt care about celebrity. At most, theyβll offer a double take but asking for photographs is faux pas with how many we run into. From what little Iβve seen Japan crafts its image like the heroes in Hollywood and Los Angeles. Everythingβs about the spectacle. They used their performative aggression to claim the scene without verifying their right to be there as if I couldnβt see through their facade. βTo make sure this is your perimeter Iβll need to see some ID,β I pull out my provisional license. It has a photo of me and my information β hero name, legal name, etc. Iβm not a hero yet but I should help those in need. An obligation Iβd leverage to my advantage. βSomething like this.β Every hero needs proper identification. My intuition told me they didnβt. And not because they left it in their other supersuit.

I turn the corner to a stampede. They scatter like mice across the floor, trampling upon bodies, bags, and other priceless possessions. A figure dressed in shadows takes an amorphous shape before returning to the silhouette of a person. I have yet to establish a perimeter, but it bears fruit. Their demeanor is reminiscent of a predator β malice colors their aura. A few people were saved by their intrusion, but theyβre scared, too. Some of the innocents ran while others fell to the ground. Thereβs a mess between those who deserve whatβs coming and those who do not. And thatβs only if you act under the presupposition that anyone deserves what this creature dolls out. I step into the mouth of the alleyway. βI take it you donβt wanna talk.β

Flirting was a coping mechanism. With the discovery of quirks, there was an uptick in near-death experiences. But statistics are irrelevant to the human qualia. Whether youβve been through one or one hundred, you find a way to make it through the day. There were two reasons she was alive, one of which was me. The other, more important reason was the creatureβs ulterior motive. It could have killed her, but it wanted her alive. It might have had a malicious spirit or worse. I made a note to research this later. βIf I asked for your number where would I save it?β I grabbed her phone and let the question hang. I have no phone to save her number with. So, what good was it? A few texts later and itβs all hers. My friends are disappointed, but theyβll live. And this also frees me from my other obligations this weekend. Visiting replicas of Lady Liberty seems like the worst way to introduce someone to the Land of the Rising Sun. βSure,β I say. Iβm not interested in the date itself but the free food. βYou can pay for brunch.β We make our way to the hospital, she makes her calls, and I leave with her phone. Iβll be back in the morning for our βdateβ and then Iβll never see her again.

Her face flushed. A surprise considering how little she wore, even for the beach. It might have to do with the obvious glance I took earlier, but that was pragmatic. We didnβt have time to waste. If she were carrying a lighter thatβs where it would have been. Then again, Iβm a stranger. She might think me a pervert looking to get my grubby little hands all over her body. And while I understand the concern, that would frankly be disgusting. You donβt save people to get your rocks off. Even if you did, vagrantly taking advantage of someone you rescued is crossing an ethical line that every conscious being should adhere to. Still, theft, while illegal, was fair game. βYour phone.β I donβt serve the law. The law serves me. Therefore, theft is acceptable when itβs the only way to contact my Abuela. βConsider it insurance. I have places to be and people to meet. Youβll buy me a new one tomorrow and Iβll return this.β I havenβt let go of her. βWeβll meet two blocks up, safe from wandering sea creatures,β I start heading towards town. βIβll take you to the hospital before I leave.β

Her words fell onto my heart like meteors. What I wanted was a lighter. Even a match would suffice. I wouldn't be happy until the sea monster was a Michelin dish charred in protest. If we rate food with stars then the least we can do is cook in a supernova. Instead, this woman and the illogical urge to protect her at all costs pulled me down. There are no easy answers; anything and everything was on the table. I systematically eliminated every idea in orbit reaching the inevitable conclusion: retreat. But my cognitive safeguards cower before the fear in my gut demanding a fight. Through revelation, I understood what was once illogical. If I cannot save her, I cannot save Abuela. Inhale. The air reaches my lungs. Oxygen enters my bloodstream as carbon dioxide leaves. Exhale. My hand points outward. From my breath and the breath of all living things a bunny emerges. With black fur and eyes like mine, it multiplies. There's a small, intentional gap that keeps our eyes locked β the monster and I unblinking. I throw my phone with all my might and as it charges in defiance, it cuts with its smaller claw, splitting the phone. Simultaneously, the bunnies turn to smoke. The damaged device causes a spark and ignites the dust cloud the monster stepped into. We take three or four steps back. The fire ends in a moment and all that's left is a one-star review from a dissatisfied customer. It's dead. "Anything I want?"
