Author's Ramblings - Everyone likes to think they can live a 'normal' life, one without the stress and worry of Modern Existence.
But, even if a person lives in a way that doesn't 'create' problems, they can still attract, or get involved in more than their fair share.
Consider the case of a super-human. Can they possibly hope to live peacefully in our world? A world where 'everyday people' live and die on the toss of a coin, their entire existence summed up in thirty seconds on the evening news?

Fragment - Hostage?
Working for a living was something that most people view as a necessary evil…
For the Rave Clones, it was more of an adventure, even though at their age, the 'Disguised Clones' could only get 'normal' work as 'Checkout Chicks' at various Fast Food Franchises…
Still, it was a valuable life experience for them, and the Clones were learning really useful information about how to live and act as 'Normal People'…
Clone #74 was one of the lucky few to have a job, or rather, to share 'a' job with the other Clones that took turns impersonating 'their' fictitious character…
…And today, the job was all hers!
Clone #74 was currently standing in line at a local bank, waiting to be served by a teller. The Clone could have used the ATM outside, but she wanted to have the full experience of 'person-to-person' banking.
Unfortunately, the Clone wouldn't be getting that today…
The bank doors suddenly burst open, a man armed with a sawn-off shotgun running in and shouting, "This is a Stick-Up! Nobody MOOOVE!!"
Throughout the bank, people froze where they were.
The robber produced a large bag and thrust it at the nearest Teller. "Fill this up!" the robber tersely ordered…
The teller complied, casually triggering a 'silent' alarm as she did so.
The Security forces in the City had Close links with the Local Law Enforcement Authorities. They often co-operated closely in times of crisis.
…Which had nothing to do with the rather large Security contingent that slammed down around the bank, mere seconds after a Rave Clone advised Security Central that an armed robbery was in progress, and that a Clone required 'backup'…
Inside the bank, the robber quite naturally panicked at the unexpected development…
"Stay back!" the robber screamed at the Security Forces, "I've got a gun and hostages in here! So don't try anything funny, or someone'll get hurt!"
Outside, the 'On-the-Spot' Security Co-ordinator was sweating bullets at the thought of 'collateral damage' to the hostages…
"S--T!!" the S.C. swore, "This WOULD have to happen just as I came on duty! I bet the B-----D I took over from is laughing his A--E off over this…"
"Excuse me Sir," said a soft voice at his side.
The S.C. looked around. Beside him stood a teenage schoolgirl, with a shoulder length black ponytail. "Miss," he stated gruffly, "You'd better get back behind the safety cordon, it's dangerous out here…"
"I know," replied the girl, "That's why I'm here…"
The S.C. didn't understand what the girl was talking about, and he didn't have time to waste finding out. He grabbed her roughly by her arm and started to drag her physically over to a safer place.
…Or rather, he TRIED to drag her…
The girl suddenly grabbed the belt of the S.C.'s trousers and lifted. The S.C. suddenly found his toes dangling some inches above the street. And his trousers riding DANGEROUSLY up…
"I am sorry," the girl said, "But WE will handle this…"
"You! You're…?!" the S.C. went pale, as realisation of who she was suddenly dawned.
"Yes," confirmed the girl, putting the S.C. back on the ground, "We are."
Gunshots and screaming broke out inside the bank.
The body of the robber suddenly came crashing through a window, to land a good twenty feet from the bank in the middle of the road.
Before the stunned robber had a chance to move, fifteen Security guards had piled onto him, stun guns and batons flashing in expert precision…
"Nice work!" the relieved S.C. muttered approvingly, then turning to the girl he asked, "Will you…"
…There was no one beside him…
The S.C. nervously looked all around him. He couldn't see the girl anywhere. "Spooky," he muttered, a cold shiver running through him…
Inside the Bank, Clone #74 smiled slightly.
It had been so easy to neutralise the robber. All #74 did, was to create an E.T. Field between the robber and his hostages. The sudden appearance of the E.T. Field had startled the robber, and he had fired his gun at it, quickly emptying his weapon. It was THEN, that Clone #74 had flexed her E.T. Field, slamming the robber through a window and out into the street…
…All in all, it was a most interesting experience for the Clones…

OMAKE - Hostage? #1
The Security forces in the City had Close links with the Local Law Enforcement Authorities. They often co-operated closely in times of crisis.
…Which had nothing to do with the rather large Security contingent that slammed down around the bank, mere seconds after a Rave Clone advised Security Central that an armed robbery was in progress, and that a Clone required 'backup'…
…Or as had transpired in the 'Dispatch Office'…
"Saddle UP Boys!" the Dispatch Officer had shouted with Urgent Glee, "'Bluey' **NEEDS** Back-Up!"
The Troops had responded in a Totally Professional Manner, grabbing their kit while uttering such Team-Player Phrases as, "Lock And Load!", "Ready to Rock And Roll!", and "Cowabunga!"
…All of which explained why no-one in their right mind started any S--T in this particular Legal Jurisdiction…
======================================================================
OMAKE - Hostage? #2
The S.C. looked around. Beside him stood a teenage schoolgirl, with a shoulder length black ponytail.
"I am sorry," the girl said, "But WE will handle this…"
Gunshots and screaming broke out inside the bank.
The body of the robber suddenly came crashing through a wall, to land a good twenty feet from the bank in the middle of the road.
…The fact the wall in question was steel reinforced concrete, hadn't helped the robber any… The remains of whom, were already congealing in the street…
"S--T!" screamed the Security Co-ordinator, "**NICE** GOING!! Now, not only CAN'T we 'interrogate' the creep, we'll have to shell out big bucks to get them identified from a DNA sample!"
"…oops…" murmured the Clones, realising they'd erred again…
