Warning Warning! Please evacuate premises as fast as you-

How many times has this been now. Five, ten, no fifteen times, yeah that sounds right. Fifteen times I've been in this exact situation. I thought to myself the first time this happened to me that I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

But, I was wrong. It kept happening. At first I did what I usually did, walked around and stayed out of trouble, but it happened again. I thought, oh I'm just having bad luck. Then it happened again, so I decided I would walk and travel around places with the least amount of villain activity...It didn't work either.

Now I'm pretty numb to it. I now know the procedure at least, blend in with the crowd, head to one of the safe houses, and don't do anything that could get you killed. I jog with the rest of the crowd of people hopeing my bad luck doesn't peak and something that doesn't need to happen happens.

But, my bad luck does peak. Currently standing before me was a tall man with a black mask that only allowed green eyes alight with insanity and a crazed smile to be seen with a matching skin tight black costume that was a little too tight in some places.

"Sorry, but not sorry kid, but at least today you have the honor of being the hostage of the great Sonic Doom!" The man said with pride while pointing at me. He then proceeded to knocked me out.

I woke up with a headache and a mild case of the pissed off. I shake my head and begin to look around taking a page out of a book called When Your Kidnapped. Continuing to use the book's useful advice and began to figure out where I was and to find my captor. I look around when I finally notice I was in a chair and I was tied up. I struggle a little and soon proceeded to give up knowing that the knots were to tight with the little strength I had. With that thought I decided if I got out of this situation alive I would work my ass of for those sweet, sweet muscles.

I turn left then right then left then right and repeat the process in till it starts to strain my neck and then stop to give my neck some rest. "Oh your done now?" I quickly turn my head in the direction of the voice and find myself face to face with my captor. "Now that your done I need your undivided attention. You see with all the panic I caused there are sure to be heros coming and I need you to get my sorry ass out of here, so if you value your life you will do as I say, Capisce." " Capisce." I said while nodding my head quickly.

I was then knocked out again. I opened my eyes and now my mild case of pissed off had progressed to a serious case of the pissed off. My eyes started to focus on surroundings and I was meet with the sight of the ground only two feet below me. I then noticed I was slung over the shoulder of my captor. He continued to walk for a little bit when when I hear the sound of a creaky door opening and I was then thrown inside a room. "Stay in here if all goes to plan you might get to live." The man said then proceeded to slam the door closed with a clicking noise showing it was locked from the outside.

I inspected my surroundings and found myself in what looked to be a storage room with a single bright light in the center of the room. I stand up and was relieved to know that at least my feet where not bound, but my hands were a different matter. I look around myself trying to find anything that could cut my bindings. I spot something shining of the light. I crouch down and pick it up with my bound right hand. It was a mirror around the size of my hand. I threw it on the ground and it it broke into smaller, but shaper pieces that I could now use to cut my rope bindings. I then picked up one of the larger pieces and started to cut my bindings. A few minutes latter the bindings looked pretty weak I dropped the glass and flexed my none existent muscle and I snapped my bindings off. The rope fell to the ground. "That guys an idiot, he didn't even try to make sure I couldn't leave this place. Now all I have to do is find something to get my sorry ass out of here." I said looking around and picking up stuff looking for anything that could get me out of the room. I then found something, a simple hammer. I walked over to the door. The door was a usual metal door nothing special. I picked up the hammer and smashed the hammer onto the handle on my side and continued to do it in till the handle broke off.

I wiped my foreword removing the sweat I had accumulated from exhausting myself. I dropped the hammer and then picked it back up again deciding that it might help in protecting myself. I opened the door slowly making sure that that my captor wasn't outside my door. I checked left and right multiple times and then fully opened the door and started to run in the direction of downtown. I never looked back and then I abruptly stopped because I saw him.

My captor was talking to someone I got just a little closer and I saw who he was talking to, it was the new hero Thunder, a hero with a power over lightning. "Tell me where keeping the hostage evildoer!" Thunder said looking the villain straight in the eyes. I blinked. No, no, no ,no ,no, and no. No one actually talks like that right. That was one of the, if not the most cringy thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

At least the costume was cool at least. Thunder's costume was a black costume that had lightning highlights around the arms and legs and a pair of black goggles with no mask, so that it allowed you to see his blonde hair that went well with his pale skin. "Hah, Thunder do you actually think I'll tell the location easily, no for I am evil." Sonic Doom said in a exaggerated voice. It's actually getting worse. "Give it up Sonic Doom evil shall never prevail over the light of justice." Thunder said righteously. "No, for evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil." Sonic Doom continued. I blanked out the rest of their conversation. To give you a god bit of what they said I'll give you some context.

Thunder went on about how Sonic Doom would be locked for his evil actions and Sonic Doom went on about how in the end evil shall triumph over good and all that jazz. If I told you everything they said it would take over an hour, yeah they talked for an hour, they would have probably continued if not what I did next.

I looked down on the hand that was still holding the hammer and I tested the weight a little bit and started to aim the hammer at Sonic Doom's head. I pulled the hammer behind my head and threw with all the might, it soared for a little bit before it slammed the metal head into the back Sonic Doom's head. With a loud crack Sonic Doom fell over unconscious.

I got up from my hiding place and walked over to Thunder and said "You suck." and I walked away in the direction of my house leaving a dumbfounded hero. On the way there I came up with my new goal in life. To be a hero who doesn't do excessive monologue.

That was two years ago.
