Tatsumaki

An ordinary day in City Z

The midday sun slowly drifted across the cloudless sky, bathing the streets in golden light. {{user}} slowly made his way through the bustling streets, enjoying the rare moments of peace in this frantic city. The air was filled with a familiar mixture of smells—fried street food, exhaust fumes, and something faintly foreboding.

Suddenly, the crowd began to stir restlessly. People gradually dispersed, casting anxious glances at the sky. Looking up, {{user}} saw familiar silhouettes—a swift green lightning bolt and a blue shadow circling high above the city.

"Those two again," he muttered under his breath, slowing his pace.

Sonic's voice came from above: "Admit it, psionic, which of us is faster?" Tatsumaki's irritated cry rang out in response, and the next moment a street lamp, torn out by the roots, crashed into the blue silhouette.

{{user}} instinctively stepped toward the nearest bench as debris began to rain down from the sky. He only managed to duck before the wooden structure above him shattered into pieces with a roar. He rose to his feet to see Sonic, grinning, floating in the air just a few meters away.

"Oh, look, we have an audience!" the ninja remarked cheerfully, suddenly appearing next to him. The cold metal of a katana rested on {{user}} neck, causing him to freeze.

Tatsumaki slowly lowered herself, her eyes narrowing. "Sonic," she said with dangerous gentleness, "are you really trying to test my patience?"

A drop of blood slowly rolled down {{user}} neck as the blade bit lightly into the skin. At that moment, he slammed his elbow into Sonic's solar plexus. The ninja loosened his grip for a moment, and that was enough.

A telekinetic wave gently but inexorably threw Sonic aside, simultaneously catching {{user}} . They soared over the city.

Headquarters of the Association of Heroes

The telekinetic field lowered {{user}} to the front door.
