Set immediately after Kick-Ass 2 the movie. EVERYTHING up to now is canon. Hit-Girl leaves Kick-Ass with a kiss and New York City in her rear-view mirror and doesn't look back. Where does she go? Who does she meet? What happens to Kick-Ass? Let's just say, if you think you have everything planned out, something is bound to go different. Mindy/OC eventual Mindy/Dave.

(A/N: Let's just say this is my idea of a potential Kick-Ass 3)

Chapter 1- Highway to Nowhere

So much had happened that night. Mindy Macready had left her home of 15 years and her new-found best friend, Dave Lizewski, behind in her trails and made a beeline for a safe haven. After hours of speeding on her motorcycle on America's interstates, she pulls off Interstate 76 in Akron, Ohio, her first stop since kissing Dave good-bye, and checks into a hotel to sleep for the night. As she checks in, she makes a call to an unknown number:

"Hey, it's me...Mindy...Daddy gave me your guys' number just in case...I'm good...I'm in Akron...Ohio...I'll be there sometime tomorrow afternoon. No, evening...Oh, I'll get there when I can...Thanks for doing this, by the way...OK...Yeah, it's gonna be great to see all of you guys, too. It's been forever...OK...Love you guys, too...OK, bye."

After Mindy hangs up, she lays on her hotel bed and looks up at the ceiling. She takes a deep breath and exhales shakily.

"Welcome to your new life, Mindy. Welcome to your new life."

Meanwhile, back in the Big Apple, Dave Lizewski sits at his desk at his new shared apartment with his friend Marty, AKA Battle Guy, trying to contemplate the day's events with Mindy and her sudden departure.

"Why?" said Dave.

"Why'd you just up and leave? You could've stayed with me and laid low!" Dave starts yelling at his mirror.

"Because the city has ME now? ME? I'm not you! This city is going to HELL in a HANDBASKET with you around! You taught me everything I know! And quite frankly, I don't think it was that much!" Dave screams.

"You were the best thing to happen to me and now you just disappear like a puff of a smoke! This could've really led to more!" Dave screams some more as he is starting to break down and cry.

Immediately, Marty comes in and sees Dave crying on the floor.

"You OK, Dave? What's wrong?"

"Today has sucked ass and keeps getting worse." Dave replied.

"How?" Marty asked.

"Hit Girl is gone." Dave said dejectedly.

"What? Did she hang it up like the rest of us?" Marty asked.

"No. Like actually gone. Like left NYC gone." Dave sadly said.

"Damn that sucks. She was really good in the fight against Motherfucker and his goons." Marty said back.

"Yeah, no shit. Well now she's gone and we're on our own." Dave said.

"We? Justice Forever disbanded. You know that." Marty replied.

"But what if I have to put the suit on again? I mean, I've been training every day, but, part of me still feels lost. Like I can't do this myself. What if I don't make it? Who's going to be left? We have to get the band back together." Dave said worriedly.

"Don't doubt yourself. You're Kick-Ass. You don't need us." Marty said assuredly.

"Yes, I do." said Dave. "She saved my ass more times than I can count and even Doc Gravity had to bail me out once. No disrespect. What does that tell you?" Dave said again.

"Have a plan. Be prepared. Train, like you said you've been doing." Marty said.

"But what if that's not enough?" Dave asked shakily. Dave buries his head in his hands as Marty claps him on the back.

"I am so screwed." said Dave.
