Chapter 3: Hell
(Ding!)
[Destination Reached]
Hades was pulled out of his memory lane and back to the present as the AI announced the arrival of their destination. He blinked a few times, observing his surroundings and taking in the details.
The reporter whom he had come for was eagerly waiting by the roadside on the footpath. He was scanning the street for his ride and impatiently looking at his watch when he couldn't find it.

The reporter jumped back as Hades stepped harder on the accelerator, making the car roar like a majestic beast. The reporter turned around and took a good look at the ride, giving Hades a double thumbs up. It seemed that he, too, was digging the ghostly vibe of Hades' car. But after giving the thumbs up and a few more glances here and there, he went back to the cycle of looking at the street and then at his watch.
Poor guy, never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that someone would make a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ into a taxi and one day he would be riding in it.
Hades drove the car forward towards the reporter. He lowered the tinted driver-side window glass and said to the reporter, "Mr. Thomson, right?"
"Yes, how can I help you?" The reporter responded, surprised.
"Hop in, man. I am your Uber," Hades said.
"Wait, what? You're serious?" The reporter asked in wonder.
"Yes, buddy, hop in," Hades said.
"But this car," the reporter hesitated.
"Oh, his name is 'Hell.' A fitting name, I suppose," Hades said with a smirk.
"A fitting name, indeed," the reporter said, impressed.
"So, how did you afford this car? I'm just curious, no offense," the reporter asked.
"It's okay, man, none taken. I just like to meet new people, so this Uber taxi service is something I do in my free time. Actually, I'm into other businesses," Hades said.
"Okay, if you say so. Anyways, the ride is dope," the reporter said with admiration evident in his words as he got into the car.
As Hades and the reporter set off on their journey, the reporter couldn't help but feel excited. He knew this would be one Hell of a ride, literally.
"Welcome aboard 'Hell,' my friend," Hades says, his voice deep and menacing, greeting him with a villainous and ferocious smile.
"You're in for a wild ride," Hades added, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The reporter couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline as he settled into the luxurious leather seat of the Bugatti. He can't help but feel a sense of awe as he sees the inside of the ghostly vehicle. He couldn't believe his luck. Not only was he getting a ride in one of the most expensive and exclusive cars in the world, but he was also going to be able to interview Tony Stark.
As Hades revved the engine and pulled out onto the road, the reporter felt like he was in a dream. The car hugged the road as it picked up speed, the wind whipping through his hair. He could see the envious glances of the other drivers as they passed by, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of power and prestige.
Hades was a skilled driver, and he seemed to relish in the thrill of the speed and the power of the car. He weaved in and out of traffic, taking sharp turns and accelerating at breakneck speeds. The reporter held on tight, his heart racing as the car sped through the city. But despite the danger, he couldn't help but feel exhilarated. It was like nothing he had ever experienced before.
The reporter could feel the engine's power vibrating through the seat and the wind whipping through the open windows. He turned to Hades and asked, "Is this car supernatural or something? I've never seen anything like it." Hades' grin was almost sinister as he responded,
"You could say that. 'Hell' is a modified car with some...extra features. But don't worry, it's all under control."
The reporter watched in awe as they passed by buildings and landmarks he had seen a thousand times before. Still, they seemed to be moving at an impossible speed. He could hardly keep up with the scenery that was zooming past him. The car navigated the city with a mind of its own, dodging cars and pedestrians easily. The reporter could see the fear in the eyes of the people they passed, and he couldn't help but feel the same way.
Hades noticed the reporter's fear and said, "Hold tight, my friend. We're just getting started."
As if on cue, Hades suddenly took a sharp turn, and the car soared through the air, doing a 360-degree spin before landing back on the road. The reporter screamed with fear, gripping the seat tightly.
The car seemed to defy gravity as it twisted and turned through the city, leaving the reporter feeling dizzy and disoriented. Hades grinned, "How's the ride? Do you love it?"
The reporter could barely speak, but he managed to blurt out, "This is insane. I've never felt such fear before. But it's fun at the same time as well."
Hades chuckles, "That's what I'm here for, to give you the ride of your life."
The reporter nods, still feeling the fear and excitement pumping through his veins as they continue their wild and dangerous journey. Every turn, every spin, every leap through the air was a heart-stopping experience. The reporter could feel his heart pounding in his chest, and his palms were slick with sweat.
As they reached their destination, the reporter got out of the car, turned around, and looked at Hades, still in shock from the wild ride.
"I don't know what to say," he stammered, "That was the most intense and terrifying experience of my life, but I loved it. Thank you for it."
Hades chuckles, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. Not everyone can handle the Hell Taxi's power, but I can tell you're a thrill seeker at heart."
The reporter shakes his head, "I don't know about that. But I think I'll be seeing you soon."
Hades nods and hands his card to the reporter. "Just give me a call if you want another wild ride."
The reporter nods and turns to walk away, still feeling a bit shaky. He knew he had just experienced something truly extraordinary. Looking back one last time, he could see Hell driving away, zooming past the traffic. Despite the fear that arose, he knew he would never forget this experience and the thrill of riding in Hell.
