Robert was really starting to regret his decision. Between waiting in a horribly long line to walking into stores with Emily trying everything but buying nothing, you can understand why. He tried to cheer himself up by thinking that at least she was having fun. She had her mind out of that weird trance she was last night. It was just so out of character. For him, it was odd and he didn't like it. At all. It really made him think how much of her he actually knows... or, how little.

"So? Do I look good in this dress?" His attention snapped back to her as she was wearing a form fitting red dress.

"No."

"Really? I thought I looked great in this one." Emily pouted before heading back into the dressing room. She then slid the curtain open and then showed him two more dresses - a white one and a red with black hues. "Which one do you think I should pick?" She asked, raising it more as if shove it in his face.

Robert placed his hand on his chin in thought. "I'd say go for the white one."

"You think so?" Emily asked with uncertainty in her voice. She looked at the dress then back at him. "Wait a minute, didn't you rank very low on our fashion exam before?"

"Yes."

"So why are you giving me fashion advice?"

"Why are you asking me?"

Emily nodded. "Good point. I'll try on a few more dresses." She said before disappearing into the changing room once more. 

Robert eyed the person sitting on the chair. He had finally vacated it and the red haired male quickly claimed it for himself. Now, it is another game of waiting. He crossed his arms and then leaned back on the wall. He should have brought a game console or something. Surfing the net doesn't seem so appealing right now, to be honest. 

"Mommy, mommy, look! It's that man that saved me!" A young girl pulled her mother towards him. Robert looked up. What the hell? That was one of the young girls he rescued when the Rat King attacked. But he had a mask on at that time, there was no way she could have known it was him. But she looked so intent and she even faced him. 

"I... uh, think you have the wrong guy." Robert quickly said before looking up to the mother.

"See, Yue? You told me that the man who rescued you had a mask." The mother said before turning to Robert. "I'm so sorry for bothering you."

"No! That is him!" Yue insisted. "I know it's him! I know it!" 

"Yue..." The mother took her hand but Robert motioned her to stop. "What is it?"

"I'll talk to her." Robert said before looking at Yue straight in the eyes. "Who am I?"

"You're Robert Dalhinsky, First Emergency Responder and Epic." Yue replied with the utmost confidence. She also had a wide grin on her face. At that moment, Robert understood. This girl was an Epic herself. 

He looked at the mother. "She's right. I am the one who saved her while I was in disguise as an unknown Epic Hero. Your daughter is gifted with powers as well, it would seem. Did you know about this?" 

The mother sighed. "Yes, but I'm trying to keep her from using it. It's a very dangerous power. I... think she can look at people's memories. That's how she knows who you are behind the mask."

"It's a useful skill, if she knows the limitations of it." Robert pointed out before smiling at Yue. "Hey Yue, am I a hero?"

Yue nodded enthusiastically. "To me, you really are!"

Well, that's a first. Robert patted her head. "Then promise me that you won't look at people's memories if they haven't given you permission. It's very rude and they will hate you."

Yue's smile turned to a frown. "You don't hate me right?"

"No. Of course not. But don't tell anyone else okay?"

Yue nodded. With that, the two said goodbye. Robert sighed and then leaned back. To think that his secret just extended to two people who he didn't even know. Then again, a lot of people who can read minds probably know who he really is. But that kid was really young to have gotten such a power. Wonder if the High Clairvoyant is helping her hone that power. He doesn't hold it against her but how far did that girl see? Way back to his childhood? That's a real breach of privacy. But it isn't like he had any secrets to keep so he guessed it wasn't much of a problem.

"I'm done!" Emily exclaimed as she walked to him with a bag. "Onto the next shop!" Robert stood up and took the bag and followed her. Well, at least he got to pass the time with them.
