Chapter 9: Newly found Powers

Monica was enjoying her new Superpowers. Before heading to work, she managed to stop 4 robberies, helped stopped a old woman from getting run overred by a vehicle, and even saved a kid from a ferris wheel ride.

She had stopped to talked to Scully before she went to the X-files office. Her super hearing began to kick in, and she heard John talking to his killer. By the sound of the conversation, John was in trouble. "Scully, it was nice talking to you, I gotta run and get a head start on them papers".

Scully nodded and walked off to go find Mulder. Monica began to walk towards the elevator and stepped in she noticed Brad Folmer standing beside her and checking her out.

Folmer took his time to check out Monica. As always, she looked super sexy. But this time, something about her was different. He couldn't figure out what it was, but something was different, and he planned on finding it out.

Monica noticed him looking at her checking her out and fought the urge to roll her eyes. Men could be such pigs. Especially, men like Brad. "Morning Brad". she said smiling at him. It was better to be nice to him, if she did otherwise, he might tell A.D. skinner that she was very impolite to her co-worker.

"Good Morning Monica, your looking nice today". he said trying to be civil. Brad wondered if it was possible if him and Monica could be friends, then it could lead into something more.

"Thank you Brad, wish I could get nice compliments everyday", she said. Just then she heard John's frantic voice yelling for help. Just then, the elevator door opened and they were near the basement office. "I gotta go", Monica took off in a run down the hall, trying

not to use her super powers.

Brad looked at her strangely. Either Monica was having a bad morning, or she was hiding something. Either way, he quietly followed her down the hall to see what was going on .

Monica took a moment to step into the women's restroom to switch clothes. Taking off her clothes, she revealed the spandex costume she had made that was purple, and she had a light pink cape. A letter S that was similar to a Superman Logo was also pink and on her chest. Monica also changed into a pair of black leather short boots that went with her outfit, and put a purple eye mask to cover up who she was.

Then she fled from the bathroom and into the basement office. A gunmen who appeared to be in his mid thirties, was yelling at John for sending him to jail years ago. The gun he held was wobbly, and it looked like it was going to go off any minute.

John talked trying to get the man to put the gun down "I had to do my job sir. I can't just let

criminals walk around free so they could harm people. My son was murdered because

I let his murderer get away, sense I couldn't help him, I decided to help others just like him".

"You took years away from my life! I missed out on my daughter's birthdays! I couldn't even be there when she needed me the most! Can you give me those years back?!" the gun wavered a bit some more.

"No, I can't but your going to spend more time in jail and away from your family if you pull

that trigger". said John beginning to sweat.

Monica decided this was the best time to step in before things got out of hand.

"You don't know what your talking about!" the man yelled.

Monica used fire from her eyes, and heated up the gun. The man dropped it in surprise and looked at her "who are you?!" he asked.

Monica stepped into the office. John looked at her surprised. She looked sexy in spandex.

"I am Superwoman, and I'm not going to let you harm my husband. Look sir, you need help, and killing other's isn't going to solve anything". she took the man and fled away from the scene, dropping the man off at a local mental hospital. She made sure he signed in.

When she came back, John was back at work, and she was back in her work clothes

"John, are you okay? I heard you were held at gunpoint?" she came in out of breath a bit.

John nodded "I am fine, Superwoman took care of me". he smiled at her. He knew that

Monica didn't admit to being a superhero in public, and she didn't want to star mentioning it at work.

Monica smiled "I'm glad to hear that. It's good we have a Superhero in town."

John agreed "I'm glad we do to. Let's just hope she keeps most of the criminals off the street's and we can just stay here and work on the X-files some more".

"I second to that", said Monica sitting down at her desk.

Brad, who had been listening and watching had witnessed the entire thing. Superwoman looked a lot like Monica and sounded like her. And Monica seemed to vanish each time Superwoman appeared. Brad began to smile. He was starting to think Monica was indeed hiding something, and he wanted to find evidence to prove she was Superwoman,

then he could threated to expose her, if she didn't do as he wanted. He whistled getting back into the elevator.
