Chapter 31: The Interview Part 2 “I asked if there are any other questions.” Mega Woman repeated. “What? Oh, yes. Of course. Um, your, your powers. We, we have discussed your super strength, well, I am not even sure the word ‘super’ applies. Seems too small of a word but it will have to do for now I guess. You also have a much enhanced intelligence, correct?” “Glad you are back with me Alex. Yes, yes I do,” she added. “In fact, we sent you an IQ test, which you completed in record setting time. We had it analyzed,” Alex said as she shifted through his papers. “And the results were your IQ, your intelligence was not measurable. In fact, it was so far off the scale that we had you take two more tests, all of which showed the same result. Your intelligence appears to match your super strength, immeasurable,” he said. Mega Woman smiled broadly. She knew she was smart…VERY smart. But she had no idea her intelligence was off the charts. “That is good to know. It actually makes sense. My intelligence isn’t only smarts, it also allows me to read minds. I can lift things by just thinking about it. I can also reach out over great distances and get into a person’s head, speak with them. Even make them do my will.” “Yes, our tests, which were reviewed by leading experts, show you use 100% of your enhanced brain. So, what number am I. . .” he didn’t get to finish. “967” she said. He laughed. “Amazing. That is right. Okay, so you are also invulnerable, correct?” “So far. Bullets have no effect on me. I don’t even feel them hitting me. I understand we will test that further today, correct?” “Yes, we will. All your powers. So, you are also very fast? Super speed?” “Yes. I can also shoot heat from my eyes, look through anything, including lead in case you were wondering,” she laughed. “Super breath, super hearing, super smelling. In fact, all my senses are enhanced. I can fly,” she said. “How fast?” he asked. “Again, not sure,” she said. “Right. Anything else?” he asked. She mulled over telling people about her ability to drain. It was probably the scariest power she had to other people. “There are rumors you can take the strength of others and add it to your own,” Alex said. Mega Woman looked at him. She did not want to lie but had already thought this over. “That one is not true,” she said. “Okay. So, the big question. Superman has kryptonite. What is your weakness? What is Mega Woman’s kryptonite?” he asked. Mega Woman flexed her biceps. Alex’s jaw dropped as they almost tripled in size. “Superman is fake. A comic book. I am real. I am Mega Woman. And I have no weaknesses,” she said. “And with that we will take our next break. Back in a few,” he said as the camera turned off. “Ready to test out those god-like powers Mega Woman?” he asked. She unflexed her mighty arms ad stood up. She looked down at the six foot three man. “I am, and you seem awfully concerned about calling my powers ‘god-like’,” she said. He laughed. “Well, you certainly are a wonder. A wonder I cannot explain. I am not sure if you are a Goddess or not. There are members of my family who think you are. In fact, about twenty miles from here tomorrow they are having a service. A service to you. You should think about going. Might not be bad to see why these folks think you are a deity. And they would sure love seeing you. Plus we will be filing it as these services to MEGADOM have popped up all over the place. Might be cool if you dropped by,” he said. She had heard about these. “Sure, I can probably swing that,” she said. “Is it going to be live like this?” she asked. “No, it is going to be pre-taped, but if you are for sure coming, I can pull some strings. Make it part of our Meet the Press live show,” he said. “You got yourself a deal,” she said. “Now, excuse me, I need to head over to the testing site,’ she said a she levitated and took off towards the boats. The camera light came back on. “We are back with our special version of Dateline, an interview with Mega Woman. Now,” Alex said as he began walking towards the pier. “As you can see, Mega Woman is a safe distance away. She has agreed to a test of her invulnerability. A boat off the shore is going to fire at her. She says she can handle it. Let’s hope she can,” he said to the camera. “Captain, can you hear me?” he said. “Yes sir, this is Captain Jones of the destroyer Alabama. We have the target locked with our big guns.” “Mega Woman, I know you can hear me. Are you ready?” She gave a thumbs up. “All yours Captain,” Alex said. “Fire!” Mega Woman saw the huge shells heading towards her. She knew in her heart these couldn’t hurt her. But then again, she had ever faced huge shells racing towards her. She flexed her muscles as the first one hit. BOOM! A massive explosion lit up the area where Mega Woman was floating. “She’s hit she’s hit!” Alex said. As the smoke cleared he let out a gasp. “If I hadn’t seen it I wouldn’t believe it…she…she is still there! Amazing!” “Alex, is that all they got?” Mega Woman said in a booming voice when she heard several more explosions. “Watch this,” she said as she narrowed her eyes. Two beams of extreme heat escaped her sparkling eyes. The beam hit two of the shells, destroying them in midair. “I will stop the next with my mental powers,” she said as she concentrated. The two other shells stopped in mid-air and then exploded. Mega Woman smiled as she used her super eyes. “I see some of those bunker busting bombs and huge machine guns. Tell the Captain to unload,” she said. “Okay!” Alex said knowing this was going to be a ratings boom for his career. He called it in. Mega Woman watched as the ship unloaded. Several high speed bullets slammed into her and bounced off harmlessly. Soon four Tomahawk missiles headed towards her. She let them come. KA-BOOM! Was heard. The explosions shook the ground below. The crew watched in both awe and terror as it was unbelievable that anything, anyone could survive. When the smoked cleared, Mega Woman was gone. |
