I should say this was not meant for copyrighting and I just wanted to express my thoughts and ideas. I don't own any of the DC comic characters, but I do own the character I made up, Maya. Please enjoy my story and I promise there is more to come.

"Everyone get back!" A husky man said with a black ski mask over his face.

Cops surrounded the bank. Every inch of the building was covered. The lights or the police cars flashed and the sound of helicopters and scare civilians was all I could hear.

"John what's going on?" I shouted at my best friend trying to be heard.

"Sine psychos broke into the bank and had some hostages with them, but they haven't taken any money" he yelled back.

Man, what people would do for some attention.

*Wait a minute!*

"Had?"

"Yeah most of them escaped, but one lady was caught before she had a chance to get away"

I ran into crowd without a word and headed to the front. I pushed my way in trying to not get trampled.

"Maya Wait!" I heard John scream

"Whoa Missy stay here" A cop said to me when I got to the yellow tape that was to keep everyone at a safe distance away from the gunmen. I could see hands on what was happening. I could see about six well built men near the front doors and one of them had the woman in his arms like a human shield.

"If anyone trys to be a hero she dies!" The man yells at the crowd. I couldn't see any of their faces because of the ski masks, but I did see the woman's face. I couldn't look away from her eyes. The fear in her eyes brought a chill throughout my body. I couldn't stand it anymore. I ran by the cop in front of me, ducked under the yellow tape and ran behind a vehicle closest to the entrance. No one yelled at me probably because that would get the gunmen's attention and end up endangering my life.

"Sir we better go!" One guy with a shotgun said.

"Just a little longer" said the man with the woman; "I want to need this with a bang, if you know what I mean" he brings out a 9mm handgun out of his pocket.

"Please sir no...I...I have a family" The woman begged," please no"

The men laughed as if this was a funny joke. That made me feel disgust and angry.

"I don't think I heard you" I could hear a click from his gun, "What did you say?"

He loads the handgun and secures it. He turns toward the woman and his back facing me. He chuckles.

*What the hell are the cops waiting for? Why aren't they shooting at them or something?*

"Goodbye mommy dear" The guy says with a laugh caught in his throat.

I can't stay here and watch this man kill an innocent woman, so I am going to do something very stupid. I grabbed a big chunk of street that was laying on the side of the curb and throw it at the man pointing his gun at the woman.

"Ouch!" Before he had time to react I tackled him and throw him against another guy, "oof!"

"Run Mrs." I made a quick hand gesture. I motioned her to escape. Thank goodness she listened.

"Ouch!" A huge white man grabbed my hair and pulled toward him.

"You're very brave...or very stupid" I looked around in search of the woman. I was able to see her run cross the yellow tape and into the arms of her husband.

They moved to the inside of the building and ran to the back. The man didn't let me go.

"Get off!" I yelled

Another guy came beside me and clamped his cold hand over my throat. I couldn't breathe.

"Stop it!" The leader demanded, "We need her"

The man let go of my throat and I could breathe again. The air tasted so sweet. Then someone hit me in the back of the head with something hard.
