And so I start another story, just waiting to never be finished. I've been working on this for a while though, so I think it's pretty good. I like to think my OCs are pretty good at not being in Mary-Sue territory, but if it ever comes up, please tell me? No flames though, please.
"It's no use, Jak. Get out of here while you can!" Shouted Lois to a blue-eyed girl. Tears welled up in the young woman's eyes. They were in the Daily Planet, except the building was burning. Someone had planted a bomb in the building. The Daily Planet was now in ruins, most everything was burning.
Lois lay on the ground with her leg under a large block of concrete. The young woman, Jakayla, was crouched next to Lois, her hand gently squeezing her arm where a shard of metal had punctured her. A slash was on her face. It started on her forehead and went across her eye, over her nose, and ended in the middle of her cheek. It was bleeding steadily. Her black hair stuck to her face because of the blood.
"I'm not leaving you here to die, Lois!" Lois stretched out a hand to her. They held hands for a second.
"The Justice League will come, I know it. You don't need to save me. Go, save yourself." Jakayla bit her lip. She thought about what she had hid from Lois all those years.
"Lois… I-I need to tell you something. You see, I'm-"Lois's eyes went wide as she stared above her. The ceiling shifted slightly.
"Jak, leave right now. I don't know how much longer the ceiling is going to hold."
"But I-"
"Just go!" Lois's hand snapped back. Jak slowly stood up and looked at her best friend one more time before turning and running away.
Jak started to run through the burning hallway. She ran into the staircase. But the way was blocked by burning debris, so she ran up the stairs. Jak found that she couldn't think, all she could think about was the adrenaline running through her veins. She ran up to flights of stairs and through the door to the roof.
Jak had to quickly stop herself from running off the roof. She hadn't realized she was up there. Suddenly, she heard the door entering the building slam shut. She turned to see a man dressed all in black with a ski mask on. He held a rifle in his hands. He pointed it to her. She put her hands up.
"Well, well well. What is a pretty thing like you doing up here?" He said, his mouth pulled up into a sick, twisted grin. Jak's hands trembled in the air.
"Please. Why did you do this? There were people in there; people with families-"
"Maybe I'm just a sick, twisted person. Did you ever think of that? Maybe I'm just doing what people said I would do."
"You don't have to conform to another person's perception of you! Please, don't shoot me. I can help you-"
"Y-you would do that for me? Wait a minute… Stop trying to keep me sidetracked!" Jak could feel the adrenaline pulsing through her veins. She needed to move or something.
"I'm sorry. I just…" A tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly bit her tongue. Why was she crying? She never cried…
"Are you crying?" She heard a loud cackle exit the man's mouth.
"P-please." She whispered. Suddenly, she heard a loud sound and she was falling backwards. She looked down and saw her chest covered in blood.
Jak noticed that she was falling from the building. The pain entered her when she felt the adrenaline leaving her. The pain was unbearable. She opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. Her breath left her lungs. She couldn't believe that this was the end.
She felt her slam into the side of the building. She continued to fall. Blood was dripping onto her face. She could only concentrate on the pain in her shoulder. Jak noticed that she was going to hit the ground soon. She closed her eyes as the reality sank in. She had left Lois for nothing. She hoped Lois had been saved and wasn't dead. Her eyes opened a bit and she saw a flash of green as she felt herself crash into the ground. Darkness engulfed her.
