Chapter Seventeen
Johnny was staring at where Jeanette had just been sitting. "No," it was no more than a whisper. She loved him; he loved her…he wasn't about to let her die, not like this.
"NO!" He burst into flames, more intense then ever before. He didn't care if he went to super nova, without Jeanette why try?
Doom was talking to his lackeys when Johnny realized, he was hot…really hot, and even for him he was starting to burn. Then he was going down, slowly but defiantly down.
The helicopter was melting underneath him. Doom turned just so see Johnny disappear thought the whole in the ground.
Johnny pitied the person who was hit but the molten metal but first in his mind was Jeanette. She was far beneath him, her hair billowing around her. He flew towards her. He through out his hand to grab hers. She was unconscious.
Then he realised if he touched her he would burn her possibly kill her. He extinguished his flames and hit her in midair.
They hurtled thought the air due to the collision. Johnny did his best to hold on to her but he knew if they continued to fall they would both die, it was a miracle that he was still conscious.
Then he made a decision.
He let go of Jeanette and burst into flame. He flew upwards until he saw the building. He started to hurtle towards Jeanette and just before he hit her he extinguished himself. The force of his body made them both fly past other buildings until they were falling to the roof Johnny had seen. It had a pool on the roof, it was a long shot but it was their only hope.
Johnny spun in the air so that Jeanette was on top of him. Then it hit him. That water was going to be like hitting concrete if nothing broke the surface before they hit. He threw his hand out behind him.
There was a sickening crunch as his arm broke when he hit the surface of the water. He was winded and in excruciating pain as the blood swirled in the water but he was alive, and so was Jeanette to the best of his knowledge.
He broke the surface, holding Jeanette under the bust with his left arm, as his right arm was under the water limp by his side.
The bone had pierced the skin and Johnny was losing a lot of blood, he waded to the edge of the pool. Once Jeanette was on the poolside he collapsed beside her falling into darkness.
