The Energy Storm

Time: Late Morning

The stranger repeating Marcus' thoughts back to him, momentarily stunned him. Did he say that out loud? No… No, he did not. As the realization dawned on him, he cocked his head slowly to the side and narrowed his eyes.

Even with his retort back at him, he pondered his next move. A telepath could be of use, but being distracted wouldn't help him here… Because not only did this man claim to have located Angel but he also mentally and physically dominated him with his ability. After being momentarily choked, Marcus was thrown back, falling onto his back.

People shouted in both awe and fear. Phones were out and eyes were glued to the scene. With a sigh, Marcus stood up with a scowl painted on his face. I should tear the head off this… No. I can… You can hear me huh? This place is burned. Meet me a few blocks down in Buena Vista park if you really want to work together.

Marcus gave Jason a single nod before turning a around and zooming off in the distance. Good thing the park was close by, so he didn't risk heating up like he had before. The flames were a bit too much sometimes.

He hid his arrival by slowing down between a cluster of trees before he settled into a casual walk as pulled out his personal phone for anything useful or important. The case on the mobile device was thicker than usual, possibly meant as a guard in the instance he overused his ability.

"Donovan?" She was one of the few company types he let have his personal number. He felt she was cut from the same cloth as himself. Sure, she lacked powers, but she was still one of the most efficient professionals he had come into contact with.

You know I quit, right?

If you're still down. Botanical Garden in an hour. I'll find you.

Viktor didn't mind the silence during the walk the rest of the way to the headquarters. It was a courtesy to Daphne's slumber but he had a hunch the girl was a heavy sleeper with how she hadn't budged when he grabbed her off the ground… oh and also that snore of hers.

In his hold, Daphne felt exactly as she looked. Like a large uprooted plant with stiff limbs. The thought of tearing a leaf from her to study was tempting but he refrained as he and Alisa entered the lounge area occupied by Casper, Coal, and Talon.

"Hi." Viktor forced after Talon had passed by him. The eye contact he gave Viktor did not have the same effect as the previous times. Not after what he witnessed at the gap. To Viktor is was best to just ignore the boy's aggression, especially while holding the sleeping Daphne.

As Alisa grabbed a drink and a snack for the slumberer, Viktor moved towards a couch adjacent to the one occupied by Talon and Casper to set Daphne down on her side. Not better than a bed, but adequate enough. Viktor glanced at the others' attention on reintroducing themselves, and with a hidden deft hand...

Pluck!

He tucked his prize into his shorts pocket and proceeded to exit the lounge room without a word or a wave. If allowed, he would make his to the third level of the headquarters.

Name: Eric King

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11

Weight: 190lbs

Ethnicity: Black American

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Religion: Agnostic

Occupation: Unemployed/Dropout/Felon 😔

Ability: Time Control ⏳ - Eric can stop, rewind, and fast-forward time at will.

When stopping time, the world remains frozen. Eric can't start a car or use a phone as the functions require the progression of time.

While rewinding time, Eric can only play his actions in reverse. He can not change the past by any means. This is more like rewatching past events to get more clarity on an event.

While forwarding time, Eric is unable to move, making himself vulnerable to the world around him. To others, he would appear completely still and unmoving from hos location.

Background: Eric was born and raised in Los Angeles and was groomed towards becoming a star athlete by his parents. All throughout his youth he heard "UCLA", "LA Lakers", and "NFL" for his future. Despite his focus on sports, Eric had the grades to attend advanced placement classes.

Things were lined up quite nicely for the promising young man until he was involved in a texting and driving accident that got him charged with six years in California state prison for vehicular manslaughter.

The experience left him hollow in the beginning, he had lost everything because he attempted to multitask. And someone lost their life. So much time was lost and so much potential wasted. When he was finally released, the most he could get into were temp jobs. He managed to move out of Los Angeles and to Oakland where the standards of living were much cheaper, plus there was a lot of work in San Francisco.

When the energy storm hit, Eric didn't get any cool superpowers like some people did, at least not for the first two months. Only a few weeks ago, he discovered he could control time after a drive-by shooting in his neighborhood occurred. He saved two children that day. It was one of the few good deeds he performed because after that, he used the ability for himself. He wasn't perfect, but he was swindling enough people to quit his day job. With his power being harder to detect, Eric felt like an invisible master of the world. He wasn't a hall of famer, but maybe he could be more!

Marcus had been looking around at those he grabbed attention from, awaiting someone to take up his offer. There were many fearful expressions mixed in with a few pensive ones.

Only one man rose to the occasion, walking up smugly in his approach. Marcus' nostrils flared briefly as he crossed his arms at his chest. He hoped he wouldn't have to use violence right now, but he wouldn't hesitate either.

When the smug man repeated words he had thought, Marcus failed to catch their familiarity. Those words rang true after all. The rest of his dialogue only irritated him and it showed as he sucked his teeth. This is one special son of a bitch.

"Are you fuckin' stupid?! Yeah, you! How the fuck are you gonna walk up and the first thing your stupid ass says is 'Ion know dis' Angel,' when that's the only thing I fuckin' asked for?!" Marcus shouted aggressively at Jason in the most demeaning way possible. "Now get the fuck out my face." He turned away from Jason to address everyone else. "I don't want to hear about shit unless it's about Angel! Understood!"

Viktor remained beside Alisa, as they made their way back to the HQ with the start of their conversation being quite nice despite the previous events. He wasn't the type to hold grudges, but he wouldn't forget the shortcomings from today. To Viktor, they were bittersweet lessons to learn from… and for someone else to light-heartedly rub in his face.

He narrowed his eyes at Alisa, feigning irritation.

"You'll have to try a new tactic next time, yes." He didn't think that Alisa being creative would be a difficult hurdle for her. She seemed to learn quickly, or at least gave off the impression.

The mention of Daphne and Talon caused a light sigh to escape him.

"Shaken up accurately describes both of them. Their dispositions were different, but they both lacked self-control." Viktor explained. They will be… fine?"

As the two approached the entrance to the HQ, Viktor noticed Daphne lying in the grass a bit ways off of the beaten path. Did she faint? Likely. He pointed Daphne out with a head nod.

"Daph." He said before jogging off the path towards her. As he approached, he heard light snoring coming from Daphne as she rested in the fetal position. He wasn't sure why she was sleeping like the many homeless in Gotham in a grassy field, but it just didn't seem right. The bed in her room or one of the sofas in the lounge would be so much better for resting. "I can carry her inside." He scooped Daphne up into a bridal carry.

The tent city that was the FEMA camp was graced with the arrival of Marcus, who had low yellow flames dancing along his clothing. He certainly made an entrance as many eyes drew to the man on fire that appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

His appearance definitely screamed altered human as he was unphased by the flames that extinguished with a few pats of the hands. He adjusted his collar to further exemplify his swagger while maintaining a stoic expression.

Looking around at the camp's occupants, he silently judged them. Helpless… but desperate.

"LISTEN UP! I hope y'all can hear me because I gotta good ass offer! Real good! It'll keep you fed with some good food, or be enough to get you something you need!" Marcus started to pace. He needed to make this fast. "10 grand! 10 racks! Whatever you call ten thousand dollars is what I'm paying for anyone who can lead me to the notorious Angel!"

With Black Canary dismissing their group, Viktor took a moment to look at each of its members. Talon left to tend to his physical wounds, Daphne to what he assumed were her emotional wounds, and Casper made a quick getaway on his own. That only left Viktor and Alisa, just a 10-meter gap between them.

"A!" This was the loudest Viktor had localized since his arrival at the sanctuary. He called to her before proceeding to leap over the gap as the fastest means to get to her. He seemed to ignore the others, not even exchanging so much as a glance. "Let's go." It was his way of inviting her to walk back to the headquarters with him. He noticed discomfort in her expression and looked down for a brief moment. "You were satisfactory today, A. You also learned something." Despite his positive words, he did not smile.

Viktor had been ready to sprint and leap across the gap, but the other group immediately moved on to the scene.

Not wanting to interfere, he simply watched. Assessed. In no time, the dilemma had been remedied… by others yes, but Talon was saved. He glanced at Aleen'a and Zachary jumping the gap to his side. It seemed Aleen'a wanted to continue the rest of the course, and he could empathize. Unfortunately, he did not believe his team could continue. Daphne was too distraught.

Why is she even here? No combat ability. Weak mental fortitude. Thinks too slowly. Lack of control of her ability. Low confidence. Physically weak… At best, she is a moving humanoid-shaped punching bag… and him His eyes narrowed at Talon.

"Pathetic." He uttered softly with crossed arms at his chest. As he saw it, there was no point in crossing, he was sure the obstacle was over, he just needed to wait for one of the instructors to prove him right.

After listening to about half of the President's address to the American public on his phone, Marcus hit pause and placed his phone back into his pocket. He didn't need to hear the rest before making another call to HQ.

"The last few altered on that hit list you gave me… I'm adding Forrester to it. And, yes I quit. Thanks for the suit though." Marcus hung up before there was any retort, he threw the phone against a container. With that, he began running, his clothing igniting as moved at super speed across San Francisco. His first target was known to be extremely elusive, but that's how they all were until he caught up with them. Next he tossed the issued gun he received from Liberty. With his Target in mind, he went on the hunt.

They call her, Angel.
