Peter simply agreed to the girl as he held the bus down. He didn’t really think it mattered to take the bus out after the children were saved, but she did make a good point about safe zones. Namely that there wasn’t one. He remembered he had simply taken the robot dummies off to the side and hoped for the best for them.
”Ah dammit you’re right! I’ve been so focused on saving civvies I haven’t thought about setting up an evac zone!”Once Peter cleared out the girl used her quirk to knock the bus out of the building. He looked to the robots who were still making their crying noise. Most looked like they could move but there were more who could t and Peter couldn’t possibly carry them all. There was no safe zones either. He still had some juice for his quirk so he could likely do something, but should he really focus on trying to save civvies if he can’t even protect them? And how would he move them?
Then he looked back at the bus.
”Of course! The answer is literally in front of me!” The bus was more than dinged up but it was still functional. The bumper was smashed but the engine was still good. Falling out of the building shattered its rear windows and turning signals but the axel was still attached. It could move, and the key was still in ignition. Taking the wounded and children boys inside Peter turned to the girl.
”I’ll take the civvies back where we all started out. It was the furthest away from the destruction, and I’ll set up a safe zone there. I’ll try to come back with this bus and bring back as many civvies as I can!”Once he made sure everyone was seated he turned back one more time to the girl.
”Good luck! We still got time, so go all out!” Peter stepped on the gas and the bus moved forward. He went somewhat slowly as he didn’t want to risk crashing into a random pedestrian it into another disaster, but at the same time he didn’t bother to really go at a legal speed limit and wasn’t afraid to push pass cars blocking the road. Along the way he stopped by the burning office where he had dragged off two office boys who were still there. He loaded them back into the bus and took them towards the starter area.
The road was rocky and unfortunately for Peter, the moment he stopped the bus so he could start taking kids out was when he heard a loud pop. Then another. He went to check what happened and sure enough both his back wheels popped. He had a feeling it was only a matter of time before that would happen but he really wished he could’ve used the bus a bit longer.
”Well no time to worry about what ifs. First things first are the civvies.”Peter set up a crude sectioned off area using some road cones and chains from the bus. He had the robot civilians come out so they could rest under the shade of the bus and whatever makeshift umbrella he could cobble together, the best being some umbrellas from a few ruined hotdog stands. Peter wasn’t sure if they were suppose to treat the wounded robots since they didn’t have any obvious human injuries, but since this was a simulation and they were vaguely humanoid, Peter made sure to patch them up as best as he could. The lack of blood or for the robots to them him where it hurt made it difficult for him to determine who needed help the most but he did his best to patch them up with his first aid kit until he ran out.
”Alright citizens, I must leave now! You should be safe here but I promise I’ll return soon, do not worry about a thing. I, Avalanche, will save you!” Peter smiles confidently as he gave his little speech. Again he doubt the robots knew or care what he was talking about but part of being a hero was making sure people felt safe. Doing hero work wasn’t always enough; talking to them and giving them hope with words were needed too. Still Peter had work to do. He didn’t know how much time he had but he couldn’t stop now as he ran back towards the city to find anyone who needs help.
