Ethan

He reached for the portable radio on his belt. Before he called in his partner he hesitated.

Ethan smirked. " You know what it is on now. Looks like there will be some excitement today," he thought and returnined his radio to his belt. Adrenaline rushed through him as he charged into a full on sprint.

He saw the thief throw down a dumpster to try to impede him. Ethan jumped over it with ease. Between being a track star during highschool and dealing with petty criminals for seven years, he was confident that he had the edge in this chase. The distance between the two began to close.

"Hey freeze! You aren't gonna go anywhere you thief!" he yelled out again.

The man jumped onto a fire escape ladder and began climbing. Ethan jumped a moment later, grabbing onto the ladder and attempting to reach for the thief's leg.

Penny couldn't help but stare intently at Quill as she thought about what just happened. Even though she tried to mentally drop the subject, she found that she couldn't. How on Earth is Quill able to pause time? Was he bitten by some radioactive bug? What bug would be associated with time? ...A butterfly maybe? Do butterflies even bite? Penny shook her head at the absurd thought. She noticed that Quill was looking at her and she looked away so as to not appear as though she was staring at him. The words of the old man came back, and she had her hand on her chin as she recollected his words. Could he have been talking about Quill? If so, then why did it seem as though he was trying to talk to her? There was also the fact that she was unaffected by Quill's power...

She looked to Quill when he spoke to her, his joviality gone. Penny could understand why he felt awkward now, but she sighed through her nose. She said to him calmly, not wanting to make him even more uncomfortable and/or chase him away, with her hand rubbing the back of her head "Wh-Whatever you are comfortable with, Quill. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't pressure you,"



Daniel was heading to the shopping center, his thoughts still on the girl who hadn't recognized him. However, he snapped out of those thoughts when he saw some guy run towards them only to jump up a ladder and scramble his way up. After that guy was a police officer running after him and Daniel stopped to watch the police man try to grab the man's leg. The bodyguard leaned in towards Daniel and suggested "Sir. Let's go, we shouldn't be here," Daniel nodded silently in agreement and he walked away with his bodyguards. Normally, he would've stayed to watch, but the impact the girl left on him prevented him from doing so.
