Reject: A Super Superhero Story (part 15)

*Finally realizing that his wobbly running has only kicked up enough sparks to set most of downtown Houston on fire, Targall turns back to put out the flames. He rushes straight into the inferno, his only plan to kick up enough dirt to kill the fire with a nice smother, or to slap hard enough to send a shockwave of air right at every part of the blaze to blow it out. But Target still isn't thinking straight. He hardly notices how the suit Zach gave to him is burning, falling off him in cinders even if his flesh beneath remains unscathed, and he really doesn't see when that suit begins to reform either. Zach does, his own armor suddenly connects to the nanites that line Targall's pressure suit and he is in awe of the readings he finds. In fact, Zach is so lost in all the numbers flashing through his helmet...how the nano technology is reading the damage and knowing exactly how to reform...that he too misses when Targall slaps hard yet again and but does so way to close to a nearby warehouse. So far, and even while dealing with trying to act normal through all the drugs, Targall has been rather successful. Most of the flames are out but once he foolishly slaps way too close to a building, all he manages to do is to knock down wood and brick and iron and glass. The entire warehouse collapses and Targall sees, to his horror, bodies suddenly lying in ruin nearby. A woman, and three men, are bloodied and obviously dead and Targall has no clue if he is responsible. None are burned, but all hold injuries from a violence that could have been given when he made an entire warehouse fall on their heads. Targall rushes to the woman, so much red still flowing from the back of her skull, and he knows: he never should have tried to be a hero [AI Art]*
