Pyrophobia Page 13

As you know, this story was originally written for a script-writing contest. As with all contests, the conditions of entry included a number of “must-have” features. The main two were that the heroine had to be able to shoot fire from her hands, and that she had to have a flying car. I have no idea why they thought those two things might be linked, but here's where we comply with Condition 2!
Oh, and for anyone who didn't score any of those lovely bonus points on the previous page, you can find the page in which this was all foreshadowed right here:

@Keith: Yeah, the page limit was a killer - especially since, being a long-winded type, I had all that history and backstory stuff I wanted to squeeze in! Oh, and also yes - you've just described the last two pages perfectly! @Vickie: If you're going to ride it the way she is in that last panel, a ten gallon hat should definitely be mandatory. That and chaps!

Do they just leave the keys in at all times? When you have a 15 page deadline then Yes. Or we can imagine it was password activated and she knows the pass cause sexy fun time built the thing! All you people with the crude humor sicken me. I would have NEVER thought to make a post like that before seeing everyone else's posts. Nope not me! So we get 1 page of boom and one page of conclusion. This limit would have drove me insane lol!

I will take the high road instead of making a crude rocket-butt joke (which I was beaten to ;) ) . Instead, I must note the sad absence of her ten-gallon hat. Shouldn't that be standard equipment on this vehicle?

Haha! I just launched it at the monster. Nickel was in charge of navigation and course corrections!

Hey, you aim where it's going to hurt most! And, no, no seatbelt. Superheroes don't need no steenking seatbelts!

Hope she's aiming a little higher than it looks. She better be wearing her seat belts because it's going to feel like running into a brick wall. If she misses, he's going to come down on her like a ton of bricks.....
