A continuation of the Bruce and Jacki story I wrote a while ago. I liked it and thought I had something going with the whole super powered furries thing so I decided to continue it. Hope all who read it enjoy!


A loud ringing began to sound in the apartment. Then it stopped. It's started again,Only this time it seemed louder. It stopped again. Then it began again.

"Agh! Bruce get your phone!" Shouted Jacki,Taking a pillow on her bed and covering her ears with it. Finally the phones ringing stopped for good.

"Ah. Thank Dog." She said sighing and gently falling back to sleep... Until the phone began to ring again. Jacki began to throw a minor fit and kicked in her bed.

"I don't wanna get up! " she rolled over onto her back and stayed there,Not wanting to move but wishing she had heat vision to fry her roommates phone.

"Bruce if you don't get your phone I'm gonna-" she stopped herself as she remembered how much of a hurry Bruce was in this morning. He had left on.... What was it again? A school... A field trip! He was long gone... And left his phone behind. Jacki chuckled to herself and sat up in bed,One of her ears flipped back and her fur all over the place. She stretched and groaned as several bones cracked and popped,Making the Raccoon-Wolf hybrid lay back down in bed.

"Oh I love doing that. Makes going back to sleep easier," She said with a wide smile on her face.

"Maybe I can spend a little more time-" she began to ponder before the phone rang again, seeming even louder than before.

"Alright alright! I'm getting up!" She said growling. Using her super speed,She rushed out of her top bunk bed and down to the small table on which the phone was rested. She grabbed it and answered it.

"What?!" She said abruptly.

"Jacki! Your awake! Perfect. I need you to-"

"Bring you your phone?"

"Yeah. I need it for the project. I need to take all these pictures and without my phone,I don't have anyway to do that." Bruce seemed genuinely worried. Jacki could here his heavy breathing and couldn't help but laugh.

"Calm yourself Lionboy. I'll be there in like 2 minutes flat. The museum and far from here and with my awesome speed I'll be there faster than any car. Wait... How are you calling me right now?" She said perplexed. He had no phone and she knew that Jarrod didn't have his. He always forgot it.

"I'm using a pay phone," he said simply. There was a long silence afterwards and Bruce asked what was wrong.

"They still make those?"

"Just bring me my phone!" And after that,The call ended. Jacki frowned but got dressed anyway, clothing herself in some blue jeans and a shirt that said,"Furballs of Steel" and she immediately rushed out of the room, her hair still a mess... Before rushing back into the room, grabbing Bruce's phone, then running back out.

The massive rush of wind and air through the hallway blew almost everyone there off their feet. Jacki loved running really fast. The rush of nigh infinite adrenaline she got was exhilarating and to feel the air run through her hair felt amazing. When she was little she loved sticking her head out the window cause the speed her and her family traveled at was amazing. When she got her powers, she ran everywhere. EVERYWHERE. She didn't care what people thought even though her parents told her to be more careful with her abilities.

"Got a minute and forty seconds. Maybe I can get a drink before I give Bruce his phone," she said as she ran down the street. The city was fairly crowded. People were walking about, some laughing and giggling with friends while others were solo and still having fun on their own. Fun thing about the city was Humans and Anthro's lived together with almost no issues. Almost. Jacki saw a woman wearing a pretty short black skirt and gave a really devilish smile. She ran off the street and onto the sidewalk and sped up a little and ran by the woman, bringing a large gust of wind with her that blew up the woman's skirt, giving everyone a clear view of what was underneath. Jacki laughed and continued on her way towards Bruce...

*****

Bruce was at the museum with Jarrod and the two were staring at a statue of Atlas, A mighty Titan who was punished by Zeus and forced to hold the sky. He was a powerful Lion who's pelt was scared and he truly seemed to be suffering. The guide stepped in front of everyone and bowed respectfully. She was a rather attractive Siamese Cat woman with a black dress on and and onyx necklace around her neck.

"Now here we have the great Titan Atlas. He was yet another of the Titans who rebelled against Zeus in his quest to kill his Father..." She went on further. Jarrod leaned over and whispered to Bruce.

"You think she's cute?" He asked abruptly. Bruce was shocked and looked at his friend with wide eyes. Jarrod looked back at him with his usual smile creeping across his face.

"Why would you ask me that?"

"Simple question," he said chuckling. "Yes or no?" Bruce bit his lip and looked at the guide. He did see that she was fairly attractive but almost felt bad looking at her in such a way. He didn't even know the guides name. She wore no name tag and he didn't hear her name when she introduced herself.

"I can't judge her based on looks. That's not fair," he said looking away.

"My Dog, you are such an innocent little tyke," said a voice behind him. Bruce and Jarrod turned around to see Jacki behind them, Bruce's phone in hand a smile on her face. The two quietly snuck away from the group and walked with Jacki to a different room. She tossed Bruce his phone and he thanked her.

"So Jackal, now that your here are you gonna stay for the field trip?" Asked Jarrod nudging him.

"Well I might as well. Too much work to run back to my nice, warm and comfy bed. And for the last time I'm not a Jackal! " he said pushing Jarrod away. Jarrod laughed and looked at Bruce.

"So my question. The guide cute or no?" Bruce began to blush and Jack simply grinned.

"Yeah. I wanna know too."

"Guys, shut up. I'm not talking about this anymore." Jarrod and Jackal looked at each other.

"He likes her." They said in unison.

"I do not!" He shouted, attracting unwanted attention from people around them. Jacki and Jarrod laughed but just then a loud scream was heard. The three of them ran back to where the group was and saw a woman, human woman, flying high in the air, her arms surging with electrical energy. As she flew, various electrical arcs were shooting towards her arms and she looked incredibly frightened.

"Someone help me! Please! Anyone!" She shouted in desperation. Bruce, Jarrod and Jacki gathered in a circle.

"Alright y'all. We've seen this before. Gotta be smart here. Jarrod;You get everyone out of here. Make sure no one is left inside the building just in case we can't contain this girl. Jacki;Swipe any and all electronics. She seems to run on electricity. We kill that and she will lose all her power. And while your at it, any phones that have recorded her, erase the videos. Don't need this getting out. I'll take care of the woman directly," he said before breaking the team up. Jacki ran as fast as she could, looking like nothing more than a small blur to the cameras and swiped away all the phones out of the pockets and hands of everyone around the electrical girl in the air. She dropped all the phones outside behind the Museum and rushed to find a lever that controlled the lights and had to go deep into the basement after swiping a key from a guard. She found the lever and when pulling it down, all the lights in the museum were shut off. Jarrod did his best to get everyone's attention while she was gone.

"Ahhhh! Oh my Dog! Everyone run! Let's get out of here!" He shouted as loud as he could grabbing and pulling some people with him. Soon everyone followed him out of the building, running as fast as they could to avoid the rogue lightning arcs. Meanwhile the woman in the air got even more scared as everyone she thought could help her was running away.

"Wait! No please! Don't leave me! Please! Someone help!!" She shouted. Bruce ran up the stairs to the higher floor so he could be on equal footing with the electrical woman. She was still emanating electricity despite he power being cut and if he touched her, she would likely fry him but he had no other choice. The sprinkler system may kill her as water and electricity don't go well together. He was durable, yes, but he had limits. He didn't know what was too much as he never pushed himself... Until today.

"Fortune favor the foolish..." He said before jumping out and grabbing onto the electrical woman, pulling her down to the ground. She screamed in surprise but Bruce screamed in pain as the electricity around her began to attack him, as if a thousand little sword me were stabbing at him. When the two hit the ground, Bruce made sure that he hit the ground and the woman did not but when he did, electricity shot everywhere almost as if he landed in water and made a big splash. Bruce let out another pained scream before the electricity finally died out completely. His fur was standing on end and he was breathing heavily, groaning as he got up while the woman he saved looked at him completely baffled and very scared. His clothes had holes in them and were slightly burned but his fur was not and there was almost no scratches whatsoever. He reach out his hand but she scurried back in fear.

"No. No I... I don't want to hurt you," she said shaking. Bruce dusted himself off and stood tall, running his hand through his hair and hearing the electricity crackle.

"I just took what felt like the equivalent of five lightning bolts and I'm still alive to talk to you," he held out his hand again. She looked at it and held her breath before grabbing his hand and being lifted up by him. He wasn't shocked. She looked him in the eyes and felt warm as she knew she could trust this person. Bruce finally got a good look at her. She was an Asian looking woman with a black shirt,black hair and black pants. She had black boots on as well and a black skirt. She had a small amount of makeup on and the bluest eyes Bruce had ever seen. The two were simply looking at each other, gazing into each other's eyes before Jacki walked ran in and cleared her throat to snap them out of it. Both blushed and looked away.

"Forgive me but I forgot to ask your name," said Bruce looking back at her again. She turned towards him and met his gaze. Jacki rolled her eyes.

"I am Jennifer. But my friends call me Jen," she said playing with her hair. Despite the goth look she had going on, she seemed incredibly shy.

"Well I'm Bruce. And back there is my friend... Jack," said Bruce rather shakily. He was going to admit that Jacki was female and not male but Jarrod was no doubt going to talk to this girl and he didn't want her to be too confused and say something Jarrod didn't need to hear. Jacki waved hello and Jen waved back.

"So you two... Are like me?" She asked cautiously. Bruce nodded while Jacki came and patted her in the back, getting quite the shock in return.

"Oww! Man you gotta learn to control that!" She said backing away a little. Just then Jarrod walked in and with the door wide open, Jacki saw no one was back there.

"Hey Sir laughs-a-lot, what happened to everyone?" Jarrod scratched his head.

"I don't know. They all left. When I got everyone out there, they started asking some questions and stuff and wondered where the heck their phones were, then a second later they all kinda... Didn't care! They started to disband and acted like the whole light show this girl gave off never happened," he said pointing to Jen.

"There's actually a reason for that..." Jen began to say as she kicked the ground.

"Ya see I have someone else here who-"

"Happens to be a powerful psychic!" Said a mysterious voice. From a higher floor came floating down another human woman, tan skin and short hair with glowing green eyes and tattoos as she gently floated down to the bottom floor. She wore blue jeans, a green shirt and black and white shoes. She had tattoos on her arms and hands that flowed a bright green and when she made it to the bottom floor, the tattoos faded and disappeared and her eyes changed color from green to baby blue. She gave a big innocent smile.

"I'm Jessica. Jenny's sister."

"How many times have I told you not to call me Jenny?" Said Jen as she elbowed her sister. Jessica have a smug grin.

"I am pretty strong if I do say so myself. Speed and strength are no match for my powers," she said clearly boasting and enjoying the attention.

"My sister and I are actually runaways-"

"Jess!"

"-And we would appreciate it if you two didn't tell anyone about this." She looked at Jarrod specifically and he looked surprised.

"Especially you, regular." She said the word with such anger and downright hatred towards Jarrod. He raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to speak before Jacki ran up and held it closed.

"Don't worry about him. He'll keep his mouth shut, Won't you Jarrod?" She said staring daggers into his eyes. He nodded but Jessica frowned at him.

"I can read your mind and I don't appreciate being lied to," she said as her eyes began to glow green and Jarrod was lifted off his feet. Jacki was surprised when Jarrod was being choked as he was lifted higher into the air.

"Jessica! Stop! Your hurting him!" Shouted Jennifer. But Jessica wasn't listening. Her tattoos grew brighter and Jarrod was... Laughing. Jacki rushed up with as much speed as she could and tackled Jessica with all her might. With that, Jarrod fell down and Bruce ran up and caught him. He laughed as his friend rested him on the ground and turned to see Jacki try to hold Jessica down but was instantly shoved back telekinetically but she twisted her body mid air so she would land on her feet and rushed after Jessica a second time. When Jessica got up, she was drop kicked immediately and knocked back against a wall, leaving a hole in it. She groaned but got up and lifted the broken pieces of rock from the wall and tossed them at Jacki. Bruce stood in front of Jacki and when the rocks hit him, they shattered into even smaller pieces.

"Knock it off!" Shouted Bruce

"Aww come on! It was just getting good! I was gonna kick her butt!" Said Jacki stepping forward and cracking her knuckle. Jessica balled her hands into fists and she began to float off the floor.

"Like heck you were! Move out of the way Bruce!" She shouted as she dashed forward, not waiting for Bruce to move. Jacki ran around him and the two were ready to knock each other out before electricity was shot at them both and completely knock them unconscious. Jarrod was watching everything go down and saw Jennifer's hand crackle with electricity. She quickly hid her hands behind her back as if she hadn't shocked her sister and Jacki. Bruce and Jarrod walked up and poked Jacki but she didn't move. She was out cold.

"Ha! That was shocking... Snrk... Get it? Hahahahaha!!" He laughed as hysterically as he always did when he told a terrible joke and Bruce picked up Jacki and Jessica.

"Let's get out of here and head to the dorm. Maybe these hot heads will have better temperance by then," said Bruce as Jennifer and Jarrod followed him back to the college.
