Who mugs people nowadays? (The Steel Magnum)

Jake seemed to have unintentionally upset Stargirl. He didn't want her to feel guilt or anything, it wasn't her fault. She had visible tears now, which only served to upset Jake even more. God, why did he always have to be such a downer? No wonder he had no friends in school.

"No, your not bad. They, the-we, huu. He were defending ourselves. I'll make sure the others are brought to a hospital. It wasn't your fault, alright?" He said, sounding almost like an older brother as he hugged the girl. This time it was the opposite of before, it seemed almost like he was comforting her now rather then the other way around. After they had hugged it out, he took a calm step back. Jake could hear the sound of sirens coming, probably both cops and ambulances. It seemed the men would get the care they needed, but Jake had to leave. He did want to see this girl again, she interested him and she was probably the first real crush he had. But...how does one such as her keep in contact with people, especially wanted people? He didn't know exactly, but he hoped she could use a phone. He quickly scribbled down his cell phone number and handed it off to her.

"Its.....its for if you want to see me again. Just call it with a phone. I'm so sorry.......but i have to go." He said with a sadness in his voice. Seconds after saying this, his body disappeared in a flash of green digital energy. He then traveled on phone signals until  he felt he was safe from being spotted, at such time he rematerialized on a roof top. He would walk the rest of the way back to the motel with a smile on his face, this night was definitely a high point this month.

Stargirl let out a soft sniffle and rubs her eyes with her palms before looking at Jake, tilting her head slowly at the offer of this piece of paper with symbols on it.  Numbers, she learned about them before, its how people on this planet count things.  But why did he give her such a big number?  What does this number represent?  Its not green so its not money.  Stargirl looked at it confusedly until she was told to keep it with her, that it’s a phone.  She decides to just give him a bright smile and hold onto the piece of paper, not sure where she could even put it at this point.

Her smile turned to a frown again when her new friend disappeared, she looked around the alley for him but he was gone. “..Awwh.. lonely..” She pouts to herself and sits down on a trashcan with her arms crossed.  Stargirl truly doesn’t like being all alone, despite being very used to it in space, she enjoys when she has company of sentient lifeforms.

Stargirl looks over to the opening of the alley as the sirens grew louder, making her wince a little and put her hands up to her ears, “..Nooo..” She slowly floats up off of the trash can and into the sky, deciding to leave the area to get away from the noise.  As soon as she was high enough in the air, a loud cracking noise rocked the surrounding neighborhood as she burst into a supersonic flight away from the city.
