Speedster tore through East Town today in pursuit of
Lightning Bug, who is one of Speedster’s supervillains from New York. He is suspected of causing the explosion at
the Verzatt Apartments yesterday.
The chase went up Main Street and veered off into the
winding streets of East Town before culminating on the Milton Street exit on I-188. It was a mixture of lightning, mutated
insects, and super speed which ended in a small tornado generated by
Speedster. The high wind speeds
disrupted Lightning Bug’s mechanical wings, and he fell to the ground, knocking
him unconscious.
The NRPD apprehended Lightning Bug and thanked Speedster
for her help. She began to say “You’re
Welcome” when she ran off down 188. The
chase left a few people injured and many more cars and buildings damaged.
The NRPD has released very few details as to what
Lightning Bug was doing in New Romford.
He had been on the loose for several months and had usually been a hired
hand in bank heists. No bank robberies
have occurred in New Romford in over a year.
Lightning Bug is not believed to have any associates in New Romford, but
he may have been looking to make connections.
Residents are advised to find an alternate route while
the NRPD and ATOM Labs scrub the insect guts off the highway.
