A more realistic approach to the last one, I guess.
Hero (Hero, 2)
January 23, 2012
The people screamed as the ghosts descended and they realized that there was nowhere to run. They weren't prepared for this...
Then another figure appeared, darting into the fray. Black and white, throwing green energy at the others.
People screamed at him, too, hiding even when they realized that he wasn't targeting them, but the things attacking them.
Every blast he gave, the ghosts returned. Very quickly, he was bleeding and battered, but he continued attacking until every ghost was gone.
Then he limped away in silence to tend to his wounds until he was needed again.
A true hero.
Alternate ending line: Heroes aren't bullet-proof.
