Daniel opened the door to his home and walked in, immediately heading to the beaten-up couch and dropping his ass straight onto it. He slung his arm across his eyes, a long, exhausted sigh escaping his lungs. He had woken up early to do a job, and not only was he tired, he was [i]starving[/i]. He reached over to grab a nearby cereal box and flipped it upside down, only to see a few grains and crumbs tumble onto his hand. As he set it back down, a familiar voice rang out in his mind: [i][color=f7976a]You have the potential for so much more, and I know you know that.[/color][/i] 

The Speed Demon, which Daniel affectionately nicknamed 'Speedy', was frustrated with Daniel's commitment with performing mundane tasks. [i][color=f7976a]Why do you insist on keeping up this charade of mundanity? With the abilities I gave you, this poverty-stricken household should be a thing of the past. You're running yourself ragged for next to nothing.[/color][/i] [i][color=fff79a]Well, it wouldn't be fair, you know? If I do all the jobs, the others won't get any,[/color][/i] Daniel responded in his mind. [i][color=fff79a]And besides, you know it will be a 'thing of the past' now. That new hero job's gonna do wonders for us.[/color][/i] Speedy harrumphed and was going to make another rebuttal, but noticed that Daniel had fallen asleep on the couch. He would have to keep watching over Daniel, and hope the man lasts long enough for his own soul to sufficiently recuperate.

Daniel was awoken by a tap on the face. He blinked the blurriness out of his eyes and looked up to see his sister Sasha standing above him with a large plate full of toast and eggs. "Rise and shine, sleepyhead." Sasha said, a smirk on her face. "You're gonna be late." Daniel was puzzled at first, then realized that he was due to arrive at the GoE HQ soon. "[color=fff79a]Aw hell![/color]" Daniel exclaimed, then proceeded to stuff his face with the contents of the plate. It was wiped clean in seconds, with Daniel sucking each of his fingers. "[color=fff79a]My compliments to the chef,[/color]" Daniel said, patting his sister on the head. "[color=fff79a]Now, gotta run, bye![/color]" With a blur, Daniel got his costume on in a second and was out the door, racing towards the building as fast as he could safely run. 

Daniel made some turns and traveled through less crowded areas to mitigate the risk of accidents. It cost him several seconds, but he eventually made it to the HQ. Running through the front door, he quickly noticed that he was one of the last to arrive, and the group was already in the middle of a briefing. He did his best to appear inconspicuous, acting like he was here the whole time. All he got out of it was someone called "Willow" and something about a chemical weapon. Going over to Julian at the mention of searching through social media, Daniel chimed in, "[color=fff79a]Better than nothing, I guess. Cameras are everywhere these days. Speaking of which, aren't there any security cameras around that caught sightings of these Willow goons around town? You'd think a dangerous weapon like that would be hard to hide.[/color]"
