Well would you look at that it's been a while
But a review by an anonymous guest allowed this fic to be alive.
I will be updating all my fics as of today until the end of summer, so please stay tuned.
I really hope you all enjoy this chapter.
"No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get in jeopardy again."

"Again?" I groaned. Anna nodded and took the newspaper out of my hand.
"Looks like it, the NVPD never were very good at keeping prisoners in prison," Anna shrugged.
I hobbled down the hall, doing my best not to fall; I still hadn't gotten used to crutchesor the cast wrapped around my leg. Thanks to Hans and his bias for the left side of my pelvic, I am in the predicament of having an entire leg covered in a cast for a few weeks.
"But this is Hans Jedermann we're talking about. Couldn't they at least put some more security on him?" I complained.
Anna shrugged again, I scoffed. "Yeah well, complaining won't help. Anyway, have you read Nightfury's update?" Anna changed the subject.
"No…" I replied.
"You had all that time in the hospital and you haven't even read their update yet?" She asked, "Well you should, it might be of interest," the bell rang and Anna looked at me apologetically. "Looks like I've got to go to math so I'll see you later."
"Later," I mumbled and hobbled to the library.
Sitting down in an empty chair, I place my crutches to the side pulled out my phone. I looked up Nightfury's blog and started to read.
The Snow Queen Strikes Again!
Last night the Snow Queen found and defeated the Engineer in her latest duel. Some people in the neighbourhood say the fight went on for an hour others say it was only five minutes long! Of course as a faithful follower of the rising superhero action here in New Vir City, so I rushed to the scene.
I stared wide-eyed at the screen. Could Nightfury have seen Anna pick me up? I bit my lip and continued to read.
Unfortunately by the time I arrived, the Snow Queen had disappeared. According to sources the Snow Queen had disappeared by the time the officials arrived; this leaves us with one question: How could the Snow Queen have gotten away from the scene so quickly? Maybe her snow powers also come with teleportation. Well, isn't that a weird thought? Entirely possible though, we have yet to have a proper sighting of this mysterious Snow Queen.
"Whatcha readin'?" Someone behind me asked.
I turned around and looked up to see who was behind me. "Oh hey Astrid, I was just catching up on Nightfury's blog."
Astrid Hofferson was a friend of mine; she was in quite a few of my classes and we got on well. Astrid was also quite well known throughout the school as Astrid the Strong; she was the female wrestling and kickboxing champion(and she didn't get bad grades in school either).
Astrid sat down next to me. "All that time in the hospital and you haven't caught up? Their latest update was ages ago!"
"I know, I know. So why are you here Miss the Strong?"
Astrid laughed and swept her bangs to the side. "I needed some help with Bio and I was hoping I would find you here".
"Well you found me, so let's work on Bio".
School was finally over, thank god, and I was at my locker. I grumbled, I remembered my oath, 'you must take care of the people of New Vir City in every way possible, that means if a villain is about town you have to do as much as possible to protect the citizens and the city'. I hated myself for taking and making the oath. No relaxing afternoon for a teen superhero, no sir-ee, you have to do as much as you can to protect the citizens because the police can't do their job properly. And I was injured.
I put my bag on my back and I angrily hobbled towards the school exit.
Anna waited for me in the parking lot with Kristoff. They were talking enthusiastically and Kristoff was waving his hands around a lot. Anna noticed me and waved, "It's the woman of the hour!"
I laughed sarcastically and got in the car in the backseat.
"I don't know about you but I'm excited, are you excited?" Anna asked Kristoff.
"I guess, I've never seen an evil layer before," he replied.
Anna started to drive off.
My tracker led us to Hans' new layer; which was slightly classier than his last layer but still not classy at all. It was an old rundown house and to Anna it looked like the sort of place that would've been haunted. I got out of the car and walked towards it; there was definitely someone inside, I could hear someone shouting. "And that would be the Engineer so I guess you guys can either come in and spy with me or wait here until I come back".
"I'll wait," Kristoff said, almost immediately.
"Yeah me too, I don't like getting caught up between you two," Anna replied.
"Okay then," I said, "Wait for me here and as soon as you see me come back, start the car"
Anna saluted and Kristoff nodded, I rolled my eyes, it's like they were preparing for my funeral.
I walked up to the front door and blasted my face with ice, you could never be too sure after all... I took a deep breath and walked through the front door and hobbled as quietly as I could towards Hans' shouting. I went downstairs and walked down the hallway before realising it would have been much easier to do this from outside.
I looked through the keyhole of a door and saw Hans running about, some sort of green goo on his hands. He turned around to shout at someone out of her field of vision. She took in what was happening in the room; There was a giant tube full of the green goo that was caked onto Hans' hands, there was a small table off to the side with surgeon's instruments and test tube racks and somebody else in the room, off to the side.
I shook my head and wondered how Hans got all his equipment; I mean it had to be hard, right?
"I didn't hire you for you to be useless!" Hans shouted; it broke my thought bubble, "I hired you because you said that you could do something like this!"
So the assistant was hired…
Was he hired against his will though?
"And I'm telling you I can! I just need some time to get the growth liquid correct! We only have one try of this, correct? So I want to get it right!" the assistant screamed back, hos voice was nasally and broke slightly as if he were panicked.
So the assistant was a smart teenage boy who was now working for Hans…
It didn't add up in my mind.
Hans picked up a test tube and looked at in the light. "You are going to be my greatest weapon," he said to it, "you will destroy the Snow Queen and anyone else in my way."
