Excerpt: Angel's Rise

Sahale City was quiet. A few building sparkling in the night as their night time lights shone through the window. From the top of a particularly tall building the shout “Cal Gone!” comes from a man in blue and green tights.
“Take me away!” comes the answering cry. The speaker is wearing mostly pink and the design of the fabric looks similar to bubbles.
“What did you say?” The hero in blue said.
“Take me away. It seemed appropriate,” the pink clad girl replied.
“Angel…”
“Bubbles!” she corrected.
“Bubbles?” He asks incredulously.
“Yeah! What villain would want to admit to being defeated by ‘Bubbles'” She smiled.
“I thought your name was Angel.”
“Cal, my real name is Angel, Bubbles is my hero name.”
Cal sighed and looked up at the moon, which was full and bright. “You are making fun of me?”
“What? Not at all! What would make you think that?”
“Angel.”
“Bubbles.”
Cal breathes a frustrated sound, “Bubbles,” he started with clenched teeth, “What is my hero name?”
“Cal Gone?”
“And you insist on being ‘Bubbles’ and using a battle cry ‘Take me away!’ is not making fun of me?”
“It seemed appropriate.” Angel blinked confused.
Cal shook his head. “If you are not going to take being a superhero seriously I do not see the point in having you side kick for me.”
Angel gaped. “What do you mean take it seriously, Of course I take it seriously. This is my dream.”
Cal shook his head. “Obviously you are just making fun. I do not see how your continued actions with me can possibly be beneficial.”
Angel blinked and looked around as if the words to convince Cal were written on the sky scrapers around her. “But I thought this was good.”
Cal shook his head, “Angel.”
“Bubbles…” she corrected half heartedly.
“Angel,” Cal insisted. “I am sorry but this is not going to work out. You are fired.”
Angel stared at Cal with disbelief. Tears welled in her eyes. She turned and walked away. Not sure what to say or feel.”
As she walked away a drop of rain struck her cheek. “Great,” she said. “It is raining too.”
