[INDENT][COLOR=6D6B5C]Panic had begun to set in over the city as Yara emerged onto the street. News choppers raced overhead heading South West from Manhattan’s center back in the direction her train had come from. The skies overhead had become dark, as winds whipped between the towering buildings tossing the hood of her sweater about and whipping her long black hair across her face. 

Tying it back quickly, the yoga pants-clad young woman shielded her eyes from dust and wind while watching the helicopters overhead, a news broadcast blaring from a nearby radio.

[color=#ffffff]“...Several tourists have been swept into the waters of the New York Harbour surrounding the Statue of Liberty as reports of unforeseen swells are threatening to break the flood wall surrounding the island.”[/color]

Pulling her hood over her head, Yara didn’t hesitate a moment longer. She knew she could help those people and could likely get on the scene faster than either the Coast Guard or Search and Rescue in the current conditions.

Her hood lasted all of five seconds before it fell, but it didn’t matter as Yara took her first leap, leaving the street behind as she leapt a tall building in a single bound. The crowd below let out a sound of ‘awe’ and while Yara knew she wasn’t the Superman of Metropolis, it still felt good to elicit some wonder from people.

Renata would be less than pleased, but she’d never been able to stop Yara from helping in the past. After all, of those who had much, much was demanded. And it’s not like the superpowered young woman wanted to watch as people drowned. In New York, she was a nobody, just a face in the crowd. She could be a hero here because people wouldn’t remember the person, they’d remember the act.

In Boise, she was defined by who she was, but in New York, she could be defined by what she did. 

Bounding across rooftops, it didn’t take Yara long to reach the Bay. Skidding to a stop, she paused, looking down at the waves and taking a deep breath. 

She could swim.

She could. Her internal monologue repeated as the Brazilian woman reassured herself. Swallowing, she dove from the rooftop, over the barrier and the pier, launching herself into the Bay. Whistling air was suddenly replaced by the water’s cold embrace as Yara felt the shock nearly force the air from her lungs. 

But the water felt almost homely, even soaking through her clothes, Yara felt connected to the water and suddenly it propelled her forward like a helping friend. She crossed the gap toward the island in what felt like no time at all before her arms were wrapping around the first victim.

[color=#d9c87a]“Hold on, sir,”[/color] Yara yelled over the waves and wind, [color=#d9c87a]“I’ve got you.”[/color][/color][/INDENT][/INDENT]
