180 [BT]  Run Home...

[Before Transition] 

I quickly worked my way back up to my feet and then I started at her confusedly for a second before I started to back away and then I turned around and ran back down the street all the way to my car to get out of this crime area as soon as possible and away from here to make sure my alibi is airtight and so I panicked and started to search my pockets for my keys and quickly found them and opened my car before getting in and starting the car and I'm about to but the pedal to the metal and ram it all the way home but before I can I suddenly hear the passenger car door open and close and when I look to my left I see the dangerous girl who was just threatening my life sitting in the passenger seat looking all casual and so Laura Kinney, X-23 is sat in my car and she's staring at me with a blank look and I'm so fucking confused right now because she was just holding her claws to my throat a second ago and now she's sat beside me looking like butter wouldn't melt.  

I continue to stare at her confusion and she just stares straight back at me blankly but I quickly pull myself out of my daze when I realise we are just going to stare at each other for ever since she doesn't seem like she's going to do anything and while I could force the issue and try to force her out of my car I would undoubtedly lose because I only won since she underestimated me and I used the element of surprise to win but with her prepared now I know I will lose plus I really don't have the time to fight her on this since there is a dead body just a ways away down the street and it can be discovered at any time and I need to jet out of here and get back to my house in time to establish my alibi because I've been caught on the CCTV inside that convenience store and they will know that I was in the vicinity so they'll definitely investigate me later so I have to get home and establish an alibi, no longer paying attention to X-23 I reach beside me to the compartment between the seat and I open it before flicking open another tiny compartment within that compartment within which is a switch which I press and immediately I feel a rumbling through my car and with that rumbling comes a thrill that can only be felt when in the driving seat of an absolute beast which is what I'm in because not only did Johnny repair my baby 'Chantelle' but he also went the extra mile and upgraded the shit out of her as well and so this car had a normal mode and an ultra-mode which I'm using right now and me and Johnny have gone on a couple of wild joyrides with some girls and we drove throughout all of New York making sure to avoid any CCTV cameras. 

In fact Johnny after realising that we can't be caught using this car at full capacity since we'd be breaking the law went and begged Reed to make something for him and gave him some fake excuse or something and a day later Johnny had in his hands a GPS system with a built-in interface which he then installed into my car just above the radio but not before he analysed all of it and memorised it and made blueprints and copies for his own vehicles because this device was amazing since it had an entire map of the world and it was getting real-time information since it was piggybacking off of various satellites and worldwide networks all culminating into a legendary GPS device that could give you the best route to your destination depending on your circumstances such as avoiding any CCTV cameras and avoiding traffic and dense populations for the quickest and most stealthy way home and I am so glad that I have it installed in my car because this is going to be the thing that saves my ass tonight, ramming the accelerator down the car immediately takes of going from nought to 50 in 2.5 seconds and following the GPS I was immediately booting off down various alleyways and back roads inching closer and closer to my home all the while ignoring the homicidal maniac teenager sat just a few inches away from me just focusing on getting home as fast as possible so that I can be caught on the CCTV at my house and outside my neighbour's house and if I time it just right I should be able to pull up outside my house at a specific time and if the police to investigate they will figure out that I would immediately have to drive off after I left the convenience store to make it back at that time so that would be my alibi and so I'm concentrating so hard on following the GPS and going as fast as possible because if I don't the police will be after me and if the police are after me then so too will the superheroes (especially the Fantastic Four since this would be a personal matter for them four, Spiderman and Daredevil would also probably come after me) which will put everything I've been working towards into jeopardy. 

Left into an alleyway, right into a back road, left into an isolated street, into an alleyway and then through a variety of other roads and passageways that are isolated and unmonitored which means that my car hasn't been caught on any CCTV cameras or spotted by any passer-by's but during all this while I've been trying to ignore this wild claw girl next to me I couldn't help but keep one eye on her at all times just to make sure that she wouldn't snap and cut my throat randomly but I couldn't help but wince when I saw that she had forgot to put on her seatbelt unlike me and because we were going at such high speeds she was nearly getting thrown all about from the whiplash and instead of putting her seatbelt on like a normal person she instead unleashed her claws on both hands and plunge them down on both sides of her into my brand new black leather seats to gain a foothold and stop being shaken around and it pained me to see her hurting my baby like this but what's done is done and there is nothing I could do about it now but I noticed as time went on that her claws were constantly moving and cutting up more and more of my leather seats since she couldn't find any purchase to deal with the speed since her claws were adamantium and cutting through whatever she was clawing onto and I knew it was only a matter of time until he seats were no more and she ended up plunging her claws down into the car itself which would fuck up my car and mess with the engine and fuel and I needed this car to make sure I had an alibi so I couldn't allow her to do so, turning into a long stretch of alleyway I resolves myself realising that it was now or never since I could speed down this long straight back road and I have time so taking my chance I lean over towards X-23 while keeping the pedal down and one hand on the wheel and she immediately notices what I'm doing and goes to pull her claws out of the seats and preferably into me but before she can I've already leant over stretching my hand out making sure to press it against her forearms and stomach to stop her from moving her arms while my hand grabbed the seatbelt which she seemed to realise and stop struggling at and pulling my hand back I quickly put her seatbelt on for her and then get back to driving my car ignoring her. 

Turning back to the wheel and reaffirming my hands on the wheel I once again pay attention to the long stretch of alleyway before me focusing on driving back home as fast as possible but between one blink of the eye and the next I suddenly see a black man and a white woman appear out of nowhere in the middle of the alleyway directly in front of my car and reacting as fast as possible I slam down on the breaks making the tires screech grateful that I had just put the feral girl's seatbelt on but my car was moving way too fast and the brakes didn't slow the car down enough in time and I heard the white woman scream out the name of the black man who must've been this so called 'Ty' person before my car meets them and goes straight through them and yet strangely I felt no impact on the front of my car as I drove through them and when my car finally does screech to a stop I stay silent for a moment breathing heavily before directing my eyes at X-23 once again who shows no emotion on her face and after a moment I roll down the window and pop my head out of the window to look back into the alleyway at what carnage awaits me, yet bizarrely the alleyway was absolutely quiet with nary a sound and when I looked around the entire alleyway there was not a single soul not to mention any corpses or anything and there wasn't even any blood or anything on the ground where they were and there was absolutely no evidence that the black man and white woman were ever there to begin with and there was no evidence suggesting to their location so I question if the incident was even real and so I pull my head back into the car and start confusedly think over the situation wondering what just happened but I realise that I'm losing precious time and I need to get back home to actually make a  credible alibi and so I set off driving again chalking the incident up to being not my problem since this was the Marvel world and weird shit happens all the time so that could've been anything from a a ghost couple to them getting transported to another dimension so I pay it no mind, more focused on my own problems and as I drive off I know that they aren't under my car either since my car didn't hit any bumps or anything so that is one theory crossed off the list. 

That incidents probably going to haunt my thoughts for a while but I can't focus on that right now since I've lost some time because of that and I've got to get back to my street now but if there is one thing I can be thankful for because of that incident then it's the fact that the interruption probably was one of the main reasons X-23 didn't gut me after I reached to put her seatbelt on so at least I'll be grateful for that but even so I will still probably spend many a night thinking about this instance and just what happened here but I can't focus on that now, I zoomed off down the streets this time making sure to keep my eyes on the road the whole time so that I don't come so close to a hit and run accident again though I do occasionally look towards X-23 with one of my eyes to see what she's up to since I can't afford to ignore her and end up hurt because of it but I don't feel too threatened by it since she's now but her claws away since I put her seatbelt on for her and she's sitting pretty comfortable just looking out of the window as I drive and for a moment I forget that she's an assassin born and bred and I'm reminded of that fact when I see the dried blood splashed on her knuckles from both when she fought me and when she slashed open that dumb pimp's throat. 

Ten minutes or so later I'm pulling out of an alley a couple of blocks from my home with no CCTV on it or on the road before it if I take a direct route so that I can continue to drive to my house and be picked up by various cameras on the way further solidifying my presence here at this time and I've put my car back on normal mode since I've reached my objective and timed my arrival on this road perfectly so that it would have been impossible to reach this place after the death of the pimp and therefore I can be eliminated as a suspect, driving through the streets I make sure to go at the exact speed limit so they won't later question the speed I was travelling at (e.g. how could you get here if you were travelling so slow/fast?) and I make sure to be picked up by as many cameras as possible without making it too obvious and eventually I arrive at my house in Forest Hills Queens and I ride up my drive and open the garage with my car key before driving into it and locking the garage again and turning off the car after which I take a moment to breathe for a second and just not think about all the shit that has happened to me today. 

After somewhat calming down I direct my gaze to the girl sitting next to me whose face looks just as casual and blank as it did before as if nothing had happened tonight and she hadn't just slashed the throat of her would-be pimp. What the fuck am I going to do now? And how am I going to deal with the little murder machine next to me...
