Roxy flew over Metro City.
"I probably won't get to see my friends today," she thought.
Roxy was disappointed.
Suddenly she had an idea.
"The Mighty Man actor has superpowers now!
I can teach him to fight villains.
Then I'll have a helper.
I can spend more time with my friends.
It's a perfect plan!"
Roxy found Detective Smith outside True Savings Bank.
"You can't rob the bank yet, Detective," Roxy said.
"Someone else is robbing it now."
Detective Smith rolled his eyes.
"Very funny, Rocket Girl."
"Did you see the bank robber?" Roxy asked.
"No, but a witness saw her."
The detective opened his notepad. "He said she's—\"
Ka-boom! A big orange brute crashed through the wall.
She was holding a sack of money.
"Who are you?" Roxy shouted.
"I'm Rumbler!" The robber made a fist. Pow!
"Ouch!" Roxy slammed into a steel pole.
It fell over.
Rumbler laughed.
Roxy ran toward the villain.
Suddenly she heard a voice in her head.
"Don't fight Rumbler!"
"It's the voice from last night."
Roxy's legs grew heavy.
"It's trying to control me!"
"Yes, I am," the voice said.
Roxy used her super strength.
Slowly she forced her legs to move.
"Get . . . out of my . . . head!"
The voice was gone.
Whiz-hoo! Roxy fired her eye laser beams.
They bounced off Rumbler.
Rumbler knocked Roxy backward again.
"Oof!" Roxy lay near the steel pole.
She grabbed it and swung.
Bam! Rumbler fell onto the pavement.
Roxy quickly twisted the pole around her.
The villain calmed down. "Thanks!"
Roxy was confused.
"Why are you thanking me?"
"I didn't want to rob that bank," Rumbler said.
"My real name is Private Benson.
I was near Old Misty yesterday.
After it blew, I changed."
She looked down at herself. "Into this!"
"Whoa," Roxy said.
"A voice in my head controlled me."
Private Benson sighed. "It's gone now."
Roxy gasped. "That voice tried to control me too!"
She tapped her chin.
"I'll take you to Dr. Chen.
She's studying the energy from Old Misty."
Private Benson nodded. "Her lab is on the military base."
Roxy picked up Private Benson and shot into the sky.
"The Mighty Man actor is at the base," Roxy thought.
"I can't wait to tell him my perfect plan!"
They soon arrived at the lab.
Dr. Chen was wiping slime off a computer.
"Rocket Girl!" The Mighty Man actor stomped toward Roxy.
"I hate superpowers!"
