Timemaster 🤣

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.

The silent tension between Viktor and Talon presented itself as the two exchanged looks. His brush past Viktor actually caused him to narrow his eyes at the back of Talon's head. He quickly shrugged it off and walked in Alisa's direction, but kept his eyes on what Talon might do to cross the gap. Whatever piece of equipment he had chosen was likely involved, and Talon scaling a tree narrowed down his guess on what it was. Good choice.

He threw a glance at the other group utilizing a ladder to cross the same gap they were. "Ja" appeared to be leading the other group, taking the lead and giving orders to the rest. He took a mental note before hearing the cracking of a branch. Though the swing failed, Talon managed to grip below the edge of the other side. Viktor watched Talon struggle with an almost disappointed stare. Help was immediately there for him in the form of Casper and Daphne….. Or so he assumed.

Not only could they not pull Talon up, but Daphne was unintentionally strangling him with her hair. Viktor actually scowled at how embarrassing this was. As Daphne cried for help, Viktor gripped Alisa's right arm and pants leg. He hoped she trusted him because he did her at this moment. As heavy as she was, he moved her as if she were a mere fraction of her weight. Viktor swung her around with a spin and launched Alisa with a grunt. Unlike Casper, he didn't bother worrying about how hard to throw her. He had aimed her to the right to avoid an even bigger disaster in knocking his entire team into the hole.

Not stopping there, he backpedaled far enough that he could get some momentum before he would attempt to clear the gap himself. He placed trust in Alisa, but you always had to have a contingency.

Cornered in a container yard, a Latino American man stood his ground with his hands pointed at none other than Marcus who walked casually towards him with a pistol in his right hand.

"You're one of us! Fuckin traitor!" The man's hands charged up with energy. He had been running from Marcus for the past 20 minutes, almost being toyed with as he dodged everything he threw at him, but now they were in a more closed off space and he could- Hot lead pierced his skull, dropping him dead immediately. The charged energy dissipated with Marcus looking over the man with disdain.

"You're wrong." He used his phone to snap a picture of the now dead altered human. "I ain't nothin' like you. Same reason why I'm breathing and you're bleeding." Marcus said aloud as he sent the picture to Liberty's South California field office. Sergio Lopez, 26, Energy Emitter, Multiple Homicide
