Jesse flew back to her room an donned her familiar and comfortable hot pink flight suit then headed out on patrol solo.
She now had glasses that were linked into a small but powerful cpu on her right hip. It was system the squints had been working on before she'd been reassigned to the league and likely given to her as were all the things she had from them so they could measure her in one way or another. It's benefits out weighed any little loss of personal privacy because it provided her with a detailed HUD map an navigation system whereby Head Quarters could direct her to a target or hot spot that they thought needed her attention.
It was long before she saw two grandmother types standing at the rear of a cat that had a flat tire. So Jessica dropped down near them and asked
"Excuse me ladies may I be of assistance?"They turned and looked at Jess and became more interested in talking to her than in solving their problem. They asked her name and what she could do,ow much could she lift and how fast she could fly. Jesse for her part indulged them but didn't forget why she was there and used her distraction to lift the car and change the tire. Both women looked very surprised when Jesse told them their tire was fixed and that she had to continue on her patrol.
For the next two hours Jessica enjoyed a slow aerial tour of the city when she noticed a black sedan racing at the head of a pack of about ten police cars. She immediately contacted Head Quarters and pinged her location asking for a situational report. They told her that the sedan contained four men and two hostages who were fleeing an armed robbery. Jesse asked to be connected with whomever was in command of the pursuit.
The Highway patrol Captain was dubious about allowing Jess to become a part of the apprehension and rescue till she reminded him that she was magnetic and could lock all their weapons and stop the car then allow his officers the actual capture.
Jesse dropped onto the car with the sudden power of a hawk onto a fat rabbit. She first takes control of the criminal's weapons magnetizing their moving parts as if they'd be welded together. Then she seized control of the steering an brakes just before she emp'd the car's computer killing it engine. The man who thought he was in control fought briefly but gave up quickly as the car slowly pulled over an then stopped with the passenger side blocked by the guardrail. The men inside were in a panic as the two doors on the driver's side opened on their own and they were surrounded by their pursuers.
Jessica stuck around long enough to chat with the officer in charge and inform him that the car she had stopped would need a new computer before it could be used again. Then she lifted off and headed for home.
