The Artist - ATE
Alarms blazing. Lights flashing. Three or four armed suspects held about 14 hostages inside a bank. They were to start killing hostages every five minutes if their demands weren't met.
The TV blared. A female with auburn hair and green eyes sketched out a heroine in her sketchbook. This was the norm. The cops were too weak to take on the rising villains and there weren't enough of them to protect the city. Slowly the villains were taking over. If only someone stood up to the villains. If only we had a hero of our own. We needed a hero. It was time.
It was her time.
The female leaned back in her seat as she began to colour in her design. Black hair with a silver shimmer, red intimidating eyes that sent shivers down spines with a single glare. Her costume would be a mix of Supergirl's and a cat suit. The emblem on her chest was a black circle with two red cat eyes. The suit's colours were black, red, and silver. Once she was done, the artist left for the bank robbery.

Getting into the bank was the easy part, now the female had to defeat the villains.
Clip. Clock. Dock.
The female's heels clipped with the bank's tiled floor.
"Five minutes are up."
She calmly walked into the room where the four armed goons stood. Leaning on her hip, the female blew a bubble.
Pop!
The goons turned their heads towards the female at the pop sound.
"Oi! How'd you get in here?" One of them yelled before another fired a shot.
Bang!
A shot rang out and hit the female's chest. She let out a gasp and looked down, but no blood was found.
Bang!
Another shot. Still, no blood. The female looked up and smirked at the goons.
Bang....Bang! Bang!
More bullets flew towards her and nothing. The female slowly walked closer to the goons, bullets flying as they fired aimlessly upon her. Every time a bullet was fired, it would hit the female and bounce off of her as though it was water hitting a water proof surface. Before the bullets could reach the innocents, they were erased.
Time seemed to slow to a snail's pace with each bullet fired. With each step the female took towards the goons. With every beat of her heart. The rise of the heroes shimmered with hope.
After about five minutes of pointless fire, the goons dropped their weapons and bowed to the female.
"What are you?" One of them shivered with fear as he spoke.
The female opened her mouth to speak. Before she could speak, the female began to slowly vanish. In her place stood the artist.
"I am the banisher of darkness and bringer of light. I will end the reign of villains and I will raise the heroes." The artist spoke loudly and with a heroic voice. "I am..."
Silence filled with intensity as the hero drew out her name.
"The Artist"
