Maria was amazed at the sheer size of Delta City. The massive skyscrapers that seemed to touch the clouds were like nothing she had seen. “Wow! This city is enormous! I can’t imagine patrolling something this big!” she thought to herself. But parts of the city were on fire and power was only working in small pockets. She flew over looters who were trying to grab what they could before the criminals from Ultramax took over. She could see the mob of villains flooding out of the prison. The DCPD was already engaging trying to keep them from taking over. She wanted to fly directly to the power plant and see Superwoman battle MAGAforce, but the police looked like they were about to get swamped. 

She flew over the defensive line of police in full riot gear. There was a blonde woman shouting orders and returning fire from criminals who managed to get guns. She was in jeans and a black tank top with a bullet proof vest that had DCPD written on it. She wore a police badge on her belt and a sidearm in her hand. Maria watched as the woman yelled “This is it! Hold this fucking line.” Maria had never seen a woman take charge like this before and she was impressed by how all the men obeyed her. Maria wanted to ask if she could help, but she was afraid of bothering the busy police. 

The villains crashed into the line like a truck. They started breaking through and a gang of villains seemed to recognize the blonde. She was engaged in hand to hand combat with three huge men and she was winning. Maria watched as two huge men managed to sneak up and grab her arms and take her gun as four more were ready to beat her. “Okay I’m getting involved.” she thought to herself as she flipped her phone into the air and had it hover record her. “Okay everyone! I’m helping this badass cop lady in Delta City!” she narrates as she goes to land between the cop and the men who want to kill her.

“Time for payback on Rebecca Hunt!” one of them yells at her. “Fuck you Jake! You’re still a loser!” she yells back. Rebecca braces herself to get hit with a pipe from Jake the Loser as she struggles to break free when suddenly the entire mob is lifted off thier feet and suspended in mid air flailing and terrified. Rebecca stands up and looks around in awe. Then she sees a young girl in a white and blue leotard orchestrating a symphony of mob control in the most amazing way possible in front of her. She watches as this young girl smashes these dangerous criminals together and knocks them out placing them in a line so the police could arrest them.

The young girl turns to Rebecca “Hi! I was wondering if I could help.” she says excitedly. Rebecca still awed at what she just witnessed said “I think you just did.”

“You’re Rebecca Hunt! I heard that guy call you Rebecca Hunt! You’re so badass! You’re friends with Superwoman, right?” she asks excitedly.

“Yeah…yeah I am… Thanks for that… whatever you just did.” she says pointing at the line of knocked out criminals. “Hey kid, what’s your name?” Rebecca asks as she starts zip tying criminals with the other cops.

“Oh,  I’m Mar… Uh.. Hero Girl!” Maria says.

“Really? That’s a terrible name”. 

“Oh, it is? Okay…The Levitatress?” Maria meekly says. 

“That’s a mouthful, try again.” Rebecca says. 

“Oh, how about Floater Girl!” Maria says. 

“That’d be great if your power was turning into a bloated corpse in the ocean.” Rebecca replies. 

“Oh… Ummmmm….” Maria ponders. 

What’s your story? Where ya from kid?” Rebecca asks.

“Omega City.” she replies.

“That explains the Omega symbol on your leotard.”

“That’s an Omega symbol? I just thought it was my school’s symbol. Like a mascot or something.” She says.

Rebecca smiles shaking her head. “Well, Thanks for your help Omega Girl.” 

Maria smiles. “Omega Girl! I like that! Thanks!” 

Omega Girl follows Rebecca as she orders men around. “Okay we have a mob on the east side moving in. You, you, you and you take your squads and reinforce district 2…go go go!” Rebecca walks over to her unmarked squad car and proceeds to get in then notices Omega Girl still following her. “It’s dangerous here kid. Go home to Omega City where it’s safe.” she says. 

 “I want to help. You just saw what I can do.”

“Yeah, and it’s amazing, but you’re a kid and I don’t want you on my conscience if ya get hurt… or worse.” Rebecca says.

“Well…where are you going now Misses Hunt?” she asks.

“Power plant… and call me Rebecca. Cya round Omega Girl.” she replies. Rebecca gets in the car and to her surprise Omega Girl gets into the passenger seat. She looks over and Omega Girl stares straight ahead like if she doesn’t look at Rebecca she won’t know she’s there. Slowly Omega Girl turns her head to see Rebecca staring at her. 

“Okay kid, but you don’t leave the car when we get there. Rebecca says as she hits the police wig wags and screeches away. “Yay!” Omega Girl giggles as Rebecca notices a cell phone levitating by Omega Girls head. “Is that YOUR phone floating?” Rebecca asks. “Yuppers! I record for my YouTube channel. I recorded you kicking ass then me levitating those guys.” Omega Girl says. “So you controlled an entire mob AND your phone recorded?” “Yuppers!” Omega Girl responds. 

Arriving on the outskirts of the plant Rebecca and Omega Girl survey the situation from the bottom of the incline leading up to where MAGAforce was located. Clearly Omega Girl wasn’t going to wait in the car. 

“I can’t believe it, she’s down!” Rebecca exclaims. She notices Fear Man straddling the downed Superwoman and shoving a tablet in her face. The rest of MAGAforce were standing around laughing at the beaten Superwoman who is visibly crying and begging Drumph to spare the lives of Night Woman and Latina Heat. “Fuck this, I’m going in!” Rebecca says as she pulls her weapon. 

“Wait, Rebecca what should I do?” Omega Girl asks. “Keep them off me so I can get to Superwoman, can you do that?” Rebecca says. 

“Oh hell ya!” Omega Girl responds. 

Rebecca runs out and fires a perfect shot at Fear Man opening his chest as he falls off Superwoman dead. 

“You fuckers are all under arrest!” Rebecca yells out attracting the attention of the super powered MAGAforce. 

Omega Girl flips her phone in the air and it hover records as she raises her left arm. “Check it out YouTube! Omega Girl here holding Atomic Fist in the air! Oh MAGAforce is moving in…let’s do this guys!” Omega Girl narrates as she floats into the sky and advances. Rebecca Hunt pistol whips Atomic Fist and Omega Girl slams him into a wall. Then she captures the rest of MAGAforce and she records them screaming in horror as she twirls them around. “Guys! I’m ONE HUNDY P owning MAGAforce!” she says to her phone. 

Rebecca runs past the terrified MAGAforce “Meet Omega Girl assholes!” she yells out. 

Omega Girl continues to toy with MAGAforce as Rebecca tends to the badly hurt Superwoman. Suddenly she feels her arms and legs constricted as black tentacles crush her and she’s unable to use her powers. “Ugh… Can’t breathe!” she says as MAGAforce drops to the ground along with her hovering cell phone. Omega Girl hears a female voice behind her as her ballet flats slip off her feet and onto the ground exposing her white nyloned feet. 

“Now kill the detective!” the voice says as MAGAforce runs towards Rebecca. Omega Girl knew this could only be the powers of Night Woman. But why is Night Woman attacking her? She wondered. 

“Omega Girl huh? Well, you look like a teenager. Too bad you’ll never grow up to be a real woman!” her captor says. 

“Night Woman?… I.. ugh… thought you were good.” Omega Girl says. Suddenly she is spun around and she sees Ivanka Drumph using Night Woman’s powers. 

“I’m not Night Woman! She’ll be dead in minutes. You can call me Night Terror!” Ivanka says looking menacingly at the young Omega Girl. 

Not one to be easily intimidated Omega Girl replies through her painful crushing bondage. “…ugh..you look like Ivanka Drumph so I guess that’s an appropriate name.”

Ivanka smiles wickedly at the cocky young girl. “You won’t be so cocky after I snap your pretty little neck, child!” she threatens as she wraps tentacles around her head. Ivanka started to anger as the cloak suddenly wasn’t cooperating. “I order you to snap this little girls neck you fucking cloak! Obey me!” Ivanka screams as the cloak vanishes and Omega Girl is free. She quickly regained control of Ivanka and MAGAforce. 

The rest of the night was a blur as Night Woman showed up soon after. Then Latina Heat streaked through the sky and they rounded up the rest of the inmates together with some new heroine named Princess Light. Then Ivanka poisoned Princess Light and her life force was used to bring Superwoman back in the future, hopefully. Overall, it was an insane night, but Omega Girl felt terrible that Superwoman had died and Ivanka got away. 

Omega Girl flew back to Omega City late that night and snuck back into her room. Suddenly a light turns on and Dimitri is sitting on her bed. “Where have you been?” he asks. 

Maria is startled and still wearing her costume. “Ummm…I was out experimenting with drugs and alcohol?” she says with little conviction. 

Dimitri has his tablet with him and plays Hero Girls first video from two years ago. “You have come a long way in two years my daughter.” he says. 

“Wait, you know about my channel?” she asks. 

“I knew of channel two years ago the first time you snuck out of house.” Dimitri says. “But tonight was first test with true villains in Delta City. I’m proud of you my daughter. Your mother would be proud of you too.” Dimitri says. 

“But now my daughter, everyone knows of you. You will no longer be obscure little girl who might be YouTube fake. Evil men will want to defeat you, humiliate you, even kill you. You must be smart. You must stop sharing so much with social media.” Dimitri warns. 

“Papa thank you for not being mad. But this is a new time. It’s a social media world. People want to see Omega Girl be accessible and they want to see me succeed. I’m going to keep my channel and I’m opening other social media accounts as Omega Girl.” she says. 

“You are stubborn like your mother was. You must be careful. Mama will use her macrocell resources to help monitor and guide you through your smart phone. Omega City has no Supervillans, but now that you’re famous they will come.” Dimitri says. 

“But why?” Maria asks. 

“My daughter, there is an old Russian anecdote that says shit will always attract flies.” Dimitri says. 

“I think everyone says that Papa…” she says. 

“Yes, but Russia said it first.” he replies.

“Plus Papa am I supposed to be the shit in this metaphor? I’m not crazy about being compared to shit.” Maria says with a grin. 

“Okay…is bad anecdote, but you understand point.” He says. 

One month later a new Superwoman showed up in Delta City to rebuke an insulting statue dedication ceremony. It was amazing and Maria was happy to see Superwoman fly again, even if she was older. Then Rebecca contacted Omega Girl and she met Rebecca at a nice house in the suburbs of Delta City. Rebecca let’s her in and she gets to meet Josephine who is temporarily confined to a wheelchair. 

“Hi Omega Girl. I’m Josephine. I never got a chance to thank you for helping us. Without you none of us would have survived.” Omega Girl was flattered that Superwoman trusted her so much to reveal her secret identity. 

“Oh my God! So you’re Superwoman? I’m like your hugest fan!” she says. 

“Actually, right now she’s Superwoman.” Josephine says pointing at Joyce who just walked in.

Joyce walked over to Omega Girl and gave her a big hug and kiss on the cheek. “Thank you so much Omega Girl. My God you’re absolutely adorable!” Joyce said as Omega Girl blushed. “You smell so good.” Omega Girl says as they all laugh.

“Welcome to the club, kid.” Rebecca says as she smiles at the young Omega Girl. Omega Girl removes her blue mask and looks at her new friends. “I’m Maria, Maria Smith.” she says as they notice how young she really is.

“No, not just the club. The family. Welcome to the family Maria.” Josephine says.

“Well, we’re all heading to brunch and Maria you simply must join us!” Joyce says. Omega Girl looks at her outfit. “Oh, I didn’t realize. I didn’t bring a change of clothes.”

Josephine smiles. “Oh boy Maria you just made Aunt Joyce’s day. She owns a small clothing boutique downtown and designs her own stuff. She has a ton of clothes upstairs.” Josephine says.

Joyce takes Maria by the hand and leads her upstairs excitedly. When she comes down Maria is in a beautiful sarong with sandals. She looks absolutely stunning. “It’s like I designed it just for you!” Joyce says.

Over the next few months Maria spends alot of time with her new super friends and she becomes especially close with Joyce. Joyce was very motherly to Maria and Maria never had a female role model other than her android Mama. She spends time in Joyce’s boutique learning how to design clothes and run a small business. 

Joyce becomes a surrogate mother to Maria, even saying Maria was like the daughter she never had. One Sunday Joyce surprises Maria with a present. “A powerful superheroine deserves a powerful costume.” Joyce says.

Maria opens the box to reveal a brand new Omega Girl costume. Sexy white sleeveless leotard with shiny white custom nylons, blue custom flats and a blue latex form fitted mask. This mask attached directly to her face and not with a band around her head like her cheap Halloween costume mask. There was also a thin blue belt which gave her a place to tuck some money and her phone. She looked amazing and it made her feel legitimate. “It’s amazing! Thank you so much Joyce.” she says as she hugs Joyce. 

Months later when Joyce was brutally murdered it hit Maria hard. She vowed to help avenge her horrific murder any way she could. The seeds of rage were planted in her young mind and she was conflicted inside, but keeping it under control. Rebecca had leads she was working and she believed the Drumph’s were behind it. But now Omega Girl had a bigger problem. A new federally sanctioned superheroine named American Dream was taking out heroines. She just humiliated Latina Heat and Omega Girl was on the hit list.

THE END.
