What?
Things were moving too fast for Comet at the moment. The girl was deaf, Dragon and Spectrum were back in the fight, somebody was tearing a swath through the hordes with some sort of fire weapon, and he still hadn't even touched a rat.
Watching as both the armored hero and the electric man dashed forwards, he noticed the number of heads on the monster was enough to cover most any angle, as demonstrated by Spectrum's failed attack. But his reflexes were well within the human normal, at least that was how it looked.
Well, I'll never know unless I try.
Looking at the beast, he crossed his fingers and removed his hair-tie.
"Clear a path! It's time for the Chris Brown special!" he made sure to yell, as loud as he could. With a crack like the sound of a whip, he took off.
In the opposite direction.
He ended up at the other side of the city, sliding to a stop and knocking a car into the air with the shock wave that formed in front.
God I hope I don't run down the wrong street, he whispered to himself, placing his hands to the ground and lifting his hips.
Hopefully this was more than enough room, at the speed he was planning to go, nothing with legs or a pulse would survive being struck by him, unless they could survive with a fourth of what originally constituted their mass.
He stretched his back and then his neck, and with a deep breath he shot forth at what was probably around one hundred times the speed of sound.
May be overkill, but I just have to make sure, you can never be too careful as a superhero.
He closed with the corner in a matter of seconds, everything looking like a statue as his speed continued to climb. He crashed into what was left of the rats, the shock wave enough to snap their spines and send them flying away like a ragdoll. He leaped into the air, the ground beneath him shattering like glass as he did. His body was lit up with sparks due to friction dragging on him, he'd have to get a new outfit after this.
With one flaming fist, he punched forwards towards the multi-headed rat beast.
When all you've got is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.
