With one final sigh, Alex stood up from his bed and returned his mask back to his face where it belonged. [color=662d91]"Maybe we'll get lucky and there'll be a bank robbery or something,"[/color] he mused to himself before marching to his bedroom door. He was about to open it when he heard the TV click on in the living room. He didn't notice anyone come in. But then again he was talking to himself the whole time so it wasn't impossible to assume he just didn't hear them. Alex already guessed it was Scarlet by the time he opened the door, letting his eyes confirm it.

[color=662d91]"Hey, Scarlet,"[/color] he greeted casually, holding up his hand that was still holding the patrol schedule. [color=662d91]"So you and I will be working together today. We got a terrible time for actually fighting crime, but should the need arise just remember not to steal the limelight. I'll let you capture the small fry but if something [i]big[/i] happens then I've got dibs."[/color] Alex, or rather he was Chroma now, knew he was being immature. But he did feel threatened by Scarlet and had to put some kind of damage control on the patrol situation. She did have the potential to outshine him when working together, something that Chroma didn't like in the slightest. The young Ward lowered the schedule and ran his free hand through his blonde hair, slicking it back with ease despite not having any gel. Now he was completely in costume. [color=662d91]"I'm gonna get a quick snack before we head out. I like to start my patrols early; punctuality is an important part of being a hero. The hero that doesn't show up in time is the hero that doesn't save the day."[/color]
