BLAZE & BOLT: Stopping Trouble
Original Characters by Trekkie; Story by The Atomic Punk

Lisa Marsh searched frantically for her yellow domino. She swore that if Hector’s stupid dog chewed up another one, she would send him to the pound (the dog as well). Lisa was already late for the mission. Evil was afoot but she could not find her boots. Letting Hector move in turned out to be a bad idea. He was so disorganized and sloppy. Nor did he respect Lisa’s side of the closet.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Sapphire Reed was fighting her own battle. It was one thing that the drive-thru burger joint forgot to give her the mocha shake she ordered. When they finally brought her a shake, it was chocolate. Sapphire hated chocolate. Especially after her sister spilled it on her blue cape. Not even Sapphire’s super powers were able to remove the stain.

Sapphire knew that Lisa would be late for their rendez-vous. Her partner was always running late. Probably something with Hector’s dog again. Sapphire thought he was an over-size rat (the dog as well). She shot a quick text to Lisa’s phone. Sure enough, the reply read: “Missing mask.” Chocolate shake… damn it. If she wasn’t one of the good guys, she would become the Mocha Shake Maurader. The frustrated Sapphire gunned the Blazemobile and set course for Marsh Mansion.

At that moment, trouble was brewing in Lisa’s apartment: “Stupid dog!” Unbeknownst to Hector’s irate soon-to-be ex-girlfriend, Kaptain Kool was not the villain in this dastardly crime. Lisa found her domino on a shoe rack inside the closet door. Her Bolt Communicator buzzed. It was her partner alerting her that the Blazemobile was right outside. “Oh crap!”

“Hey, Blaze… what were you thinking? You’re going to blow my secret identity.” Bolt said as she boarded the bright blue and yellow crime-fighting cruiser.

“Relax, Bolt, I’m sure your arch-nemesis Kaptain Kool is on to you by now,” Blaze replied as she begrudgingly sucked the last drops of the chocolate shake through her straw.

“Yeah, he has been casing Marsh Mansion lately. What’s the situation?”

“Hot one already in progress. You know, if someone could get her act together, we’d already be there.”

“Dude, not going there. When Hector’s gone, punctuality will not be a problem,” Bolt retorted.

“Hector… the sidekick’s sidekick. Let’s roll.”

The Blazemobile moved swiftly through the Sunday morning traffic. Blaze was weaving in and out of the lanes. Bolt went from hero to back seat driver mode. Blaze’s response was to simply chuckle. Finally, they made it to the scene. A paramedic was there waiting.

Blaze stepped up, “Where are they at?” The EMT pointed them down the hallway, Room 22E.

Bolt was dismayed. “22E… that’s the…”

“Yes, I know,” Blaze said with grim determination. “You fully charged?”

Applause from on-lookers greeted the crime-fighters as they strode down the hall. Blaze and Bolt halted at the double doors of Room 22E. They positioned themselves on either side. Blaze gestured to Bolt. Bolt nodded in affirmation. Together, they swung the doors wide open and shouted “Blaze and Bolt, here to stop trouble!”

Inside of 22E were few dozen adults and children. Most of the children wore gowns. Many had lost their hair. Nurses attended to the sickest. Despite these urgent matters, all eyes were on the costumed duo. The surprise on their faces quickly changed to smiles and cheers.

The head nurse approached Blaze and Bolt. She hugged them both. “Thanks for coming on such short notice. Your contributions to the hospital’s charity foundation are immeasurable.”
