It had only been a few days but Purple Haze had grown accustomed to holding on to Power Girl's back as the older woman flew among the tops of buildings during patrol. Still, she wouldn't have minded a jet or something. Besides, her straddling Peej totally spoiled the effect of her red cape and Haze's own purple cape didn't quite 'work' with Peej's outfit.
Oh god, thought Haze, it's been about a week and already I'm thinking about fluffy bullshit like if this shirt goes with these shoes. She would have smacked her forehead but she needed to keep hold of her ride
( ... )
Shoving two large city dumpsters out of their place, a man in a heavy black trench coat and leather cowl covering two-thirds of his face blocked the end of an alley as a mint SUV with heavy tinted windows speed down the one-way passage.
Launching himself feet first over the dumpster barrier, Midnighter shattered the windshield with ease, pinning and momentarily stunning the driver in place just as the car drove into the temporary blockade. With both hands, Midnighter pulled the driver out, making sure to catch the sides of his face over the smashed glass.
The girl's weight was negligible but carrying her around was awkward. The woman was considering having something made for her by the technicians at Starrware. Of course, they might look weird having someone on a flying scooter chasing after her but the alternatives weren't very promising. For a brief moment, the ridiculous image appeared in her mind of Haze surfing along behind her on the metal boomerang that bear in Tailspin used to ride on. No. No that will not be happening. Powergirl sighed inwardly just before she felt a tug and heard Haze saying she'd seen something.
A quick scan and she could see exactly what Haze was talking about so she changed trajectory, gliding down and landing a few feet away from the extremely violent altercation. "Uhm...so what's going on here?" She asked as she let Purple Haze down off her back.
As Midnighter pushed the driver of the SUV down to become better acquainted with the asphalt, he twisted back one of his arms, ready to break bone and tendon alike.
"Power Girl." Midnighter gave the young woman as much of a smile as he could mange. Though they had never met, she was one of the notable good guys. Famous too. Superman's little sister, or cousin, or something.
"And Girl Backpack." He added dryly, shifting his focus briefly to the young girl he didn't know. "Didn't mean to spoil your field trip."
