"Mr. Wyles?" The woman spoke interrupting my thoughts. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm sorry. What about me, since my powers went mainstream I've unwillingly become kind of a celebrity." I considered.

Two months after discovering my abilities I tried keeping my powers under wraps. I first told my direct family, including my parents and siblings, what I was in case if or when something happened to me they could guess why. I also told my closest friends Bryan, Sophie, and Clint, they agreed not to tell people not wanting to risk any sort of different treatment.
Soon after there was a fire on the grounds, apparently some guys thought it would've been funny to fill the fire extinguishers with lighter fluid. The fire got out of control very quickly, I had to do something.
I used my ability and quickly moved the frozen students to safety, but I had a limit on how long I could keep time still. People saw me "teleporting" around campus and saving people. And to top it off when a section of the building fell I discovered I could suspend objects for a limited amount of time. These two factors along with our generation always ready to record something, caused me to become famous overnight.
So far no horrible consequences have happened to me but I was all over the news, and had everyone trying to make me decide who I was or what side I was on. I eventually sided with the Conduit Party and here I am, being tasked with a mission that seemed impossible.
"You will be going undercover so your status won't be an issue," A door swung open and a dark skinned woman in her 20s walked in. "Ah here he is now, Arthur, meet Melissa Ivoy, she will be your body guard." She waved at me with a small smile that seemed forced.
"Not that I don't appreciate the thought, but I don't really need a guardian. I can pop in and out in a sec and knock someone out in half that time." I tried not to brag, but it didn't seem necessary.
"Yes while you can do things no one else can, you have no true experience. Miss Ivoy will do everything you can't, that includes training in combat, stealth, detective skills,and communications."
"I understand, where do I go first?"
"That's for you to decide, I recommend starting within national borders unless you're multilingual." Mr. Rowe advised
"Well, I always wanted to see the Hoover Dam."
Down for three, I always feel good after writing, gives me a sense of accomplishment. Oh I'm typing this, sorry about that. As always feel free to follow, favorite, or review. Or if you're in the mood, check out my other stories, I only have a few but I would really appreciate any positive feedback (even negative ones if its necessary). That's all I guess. Peace.
