Clockpunk and the Vitalizer By HK Lune
Summary: When the city of Cooley is in need of a hero, Dolores Garza answers the call as Clockpunk, superheroine extraordinaire! Unfortunately she isnât the best at her job: her powers, which let her slow time for seven seconds and see seven seconds into the future, arenât exactly well-suited for her line of work. More often than not, her older superhero compatriots have to step in to do any real saving. She doesnât have time to feel sorry for herself, howeverâThe Vitalizer, Cooleyâs most feared villain, threatens to destroy the city in search of a mysterious superweapon. Heâll do anything to get his hands on âThe Bull,â and itâs up to Clockpunk to make sure he doesnât succeed.
Thatâs easier said than done for Clockpunk, however. The fate of Cooley, the seriously-not-stacked-in-her-favor odds, and the loss of her self-esteem arenât her only concerns: her very strong, very real crush on The Vitalizer might just spell out disaster.
