Late Night In San Pedro Sula

One of the first historians of the modern era, classified as the age of super-heroes wrote down this brief account of the first battle between super-humans in a textbook on modern history. It's been criticized as having a strange relationship with tenses but the historian has a habit of mixing past and present tense and children tend to enjoy this account because it piques their interest in things like superhuman physiology and the history of super-humans. 

Kevin knew something was wrong the instant he registered the pain of being stabbed. Later on he would attribute his mental discomfort to his awareness that he should have been in more pain than he was, but he still fell to his knees and had to catch his breath. He supposed having someone stick a knife in his shoulder would do that to him. His calmness in that situation still makes him feel bizarre even to this day.  

Pamela turned the instant she heard the all too familiar sound of a knife piercing flesh and instinctively took a step back to distance herself and Kevin's attacker: Miranda. It was unfortunate for Miranda that of the three of them Pamela was the first to become aware of her superpowers having known about her power for years at this point and even having consciously trained herself. Miranda knew something was off the moment Pamela stretched her hand and took aim at Miranda. Moments later Miranda was violently blown back by an invisible wall of force that extended outward from Pamela's palm in the shape of a massive fist and moved at what appeared to be the speed of sound until it savagely slammed into the woman who had stabbed Kevin. For Miranda it was the first time she met someone else who had control over their superpowers, and for Kevin it was the first time he had ever seen someone consciously use their superpower. What the three of them didn't know at the time was that it was the first time people with superpowers had battled each other. 

At this point in the sudden battle Kevin was still injured, but now with Miranda having been blown away from him Pamela was able to safely approach him. Neither Pamela nor Miranda were aware of Kevin's superpower. Kevin himself wasn't familiar with it but that didn't stop it from manifesting violently in this life and death situation.  

Of all of the superpowers in the three super-humans gathered in that dark alley Kevin's first and primary power was the most potentially violent. He has the power to visualize his thoughts and bring them to life. A special fusion of illusion conjuration and life-creation that hasn't manifested in any other known super-humans. And his first creation inspired by his emotions at the time and the image of a knife in his mind was a massive monster that began to materialize in front of him, after Miranda was blown away by Pamela. The monster seemed to absorb the darkness of the alleyway they were in and took more than a few seconds to begin to solidify, something which scientists who examined Kevin would attribute to the distractions that come with being stabbed and in pain and being caught in a life or death battle. But the massive creature still in the process of coming to life vaguely resembled a Rhinoceros Beetle the size of a horse and the width of a mini-cooper. "To think of all of the people who could have tried to kill me..." He quietly said as he stood up for the first time and looked at Miranda who was standing still, another knife in her hand and was constantly shifting her gaze from Pamela to Kevin, and every few seconds to the creation of Kevin which grew larger and louder with every glance. 

After this battle Miranda's superpower would turn her into a potent assassin. Her first and primary superpower is the ability to create weapons using her imagination and fire them using her focus as the ammunition. It seems that during the first battle wherein Miranda strives to kill Pamela and Kevin she hadn't yet mastered this ability to the degree she would have during her later battles and even her first successful assassinations where she creates guns and even what appeared to be enchanted weapons straight out of video-games and fantasy novels. Her power is different from Kevin's because Kevin has a hard time with complex inorganic objects, and Miranda can easily conjure even military-grade arms but has never successfully created living objects. 

At this point Miranda had already resolved herself to kill Kevin and Pamela and had been practicing but the unforeseen complications had been beyond her ability to predict even in her wildest scenarios. She hadn't anticipated Kevin or Pamela having their own superpowers and hadn't ever considered Pamela getting in such a powerful blow or for Kevin's power to turn this 2 on 1 battle into a 3 on 1. Pamela's apparent telekinesis made it impossible for Miranda to approach either of them, and Miranda's instincts told her flinging her weapon would result in it being deflected and used against her, possibly even precisely instead of just being deflected. Miranda immediately knew that if she were to succeed in this attempted double homicide she'd have to flee for now and come at this in a different way. It was unfortunate for her that the moment she made up her mind to flee was the moment Kevin's creation was fully animated and charged at her. 

Since no one expected Miranda to try and kill Kevin no one expected that Miranda had also begun learning parkour. She easily escaped the charging beetle, even with the assistance of Pamela's telekinesis propelling it along by jumping onto a wall and using her power to create shoes which sped her escape and aided her in jumping away from the world's first superheroes. 

The first ever known battle between superheroes and a super-villain took place November 23rd 2017 in a small alleyway in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It involved the politician named Pamela Cortes who is also the super-heroine nicknamed "The Fist" in English, and her ally the private security chief named Kevin Morazan who is the super-hero nicknamed "The Shadow" in English thanks to the events that went down in his first battle. The super-villainess better known as "The Gunslinger" was their attempted killer whose reasons for trying to kill two people she had once been close too is still unknown by historians of the modern era of super-heroes and super-villains. None of the people involved in the battle really like the idea of having "super-hero" or "super-villain" names because none of them picked their own names and all three of them were open and public about their powers, not wearing costumes or doing anything like superheroes in comic-books from the 20th and early 21st century. 

Pamela is a very public figure whose fame existed before she openly revealed her powers thanks to her work as a civil rights activist but Kevin is a private individual who makes a living working in Tegucigalpa and aiding Pamela from the shadows, confronting her enemies before they can publicly strike and inflict unexpected injuries on people unrelated to Pamela or Kevin. Miranda is an assassin who frequently travels through Honduras confronting Kevin and Pamela at any and every opportunity, inevitably failing in her attempts on their lives but usually inflicting at least one casualty, oftentimes on another super-human who was acting as a support for Kevin and Pamela. She has innumerable contacts in the underworld and is classified as an enemy of numerous governments, as well as having the distinction of being one of the most wanted people in the world whose enemies are not just "democratic" nations but even corrupt ones like North Korea and Saudi Arabia. Odds are one day a confrontation will happen where Miranda is seen as and marked as an enemy of mankind and is actively and openly pursued by the collective governments of the world instead of this strange moment where she is marked as a target but isn't actively pursued thanks to the dangers that come with hunting her down. Or she'll push Pamela or Kevin too far and draw their wrath upon her. But that day hasn't happened yet. 

A/N: Not enough superheroes and superhero stories take place in or are from Latin-America. I want to challenge that. So I'm creating original superheroes and superhero stories taking place in Latin-America. Like it? Let me know!
