This week Middy Vogel asked us to make up a story about an antihero that reflects our own personal flaw.  Our character needs to have a superpower that correlates to that flaw and an event where the character uses their superpower to "save the world".

My character's name is the Incredible Impulsive Isabel.  Isabel is an average woman.  She works in a cubicle calculating the amount of product that is sold in some big run-of-the-mill cooperation.  Isabel's job is usually quite slow but when she needs it, she can channel her usual impulsiveness into speed, which she uses to anonymously fight crime.

Isabel sighed as she turned off the light at her desk.  Nothing interesting happened today.  But that wasn't a surprise.  Isabel gathered her things and left the building in which she was trapped in everyday.  The day was finally over!  Isabel started towards home when she heard the faint cry of someone in the distance calling for help.  Without even giving herself a second to process what she was doing, or what she could be getting herself in to, the Incredible Impulsive Isabel zipped off in the direction she heard the noise.  When she arrived to the scene, the Incredible Impulsive Isabel was a little shocked at what she saw.  There was a man in a hoodie pointing a gun at an old woman, telling her to hand over her purse.  Not even realizing what she was doing, Isabel ran faster than the speed of light towards the hooded man and knocked the gun out of his hand.  Then she pushed him against the wall, before he even realized what was happening, and knocked him out.  She did all this in a matter of 30 seconds.  Isabel left as quickly as she came, and the old woman called 911 immediately, never getting to thank her speedy savior.

Thanks for reading :)
