"Mister! Mister!"
Who the hell is interrupting my nap?
"W-wha... who's screaming?!"
"Mister you're gonna fall!" Said some man at the bottom of the building. Indeed a normal person would be concerned about the fact that he's at the edge of the roof of a tall building. But i'm me, i don't die. To proof that i'm gonna jump down and try to scare the gathering crowd.
"Listen, what i do is not to your concern!" After that i jump, some people fainted, seems like it's a good prank. As i'm falling i manage to see a promotion for chicken nuggets on digital billboard, gonna get them later, getting closer to the ground.POP! I teleport from inches away wrom the bricked sidewalk a bit higher with a standing position, losing all the speed.
"Wow i wanna do it again!" I said laughing but somehow crowd is not happy, were they actually hoping i'd die there?
"Mister that was reckless, and you didn't mention you had powers!"
"I don't remember saying i don't have any powers." Are you stupid? Why would i jump off the building without superpowers. I'm seriously disappointed in people, why they care?Humans kill each other and that's common, they get closer to each other to gain something.
"What was the reason you woke me up in the first place?"
"Just tried to save you mister." Ooh right, the self proclaimed civilian hero, do it for recognition. Let's see this man's story. Pretty average in everything, public schools, apprentice electric center worker, wife and two sons, low self esteem explaining a pseudo hero actions. All that from reading his mind, his appearance is... he should hit the gym, and maybe some shopping mall i mean, his belly is so big and t-shirt so small i see his hairy bellybutton, feel like it's gonna blink at me any time, it's giving me shivers. His face unshaved, red nose but he's not a drinker and his hair or what's left of it, all messed up.
"Mister are you a hero?" That question again? Well i do have powers and dress up rather... specifically, it's good to ask wether someone is a hero, i certainly look like a bad guy, i was even told that many times.
"No, but i'm not a bad guy, i'm just a bored man"
"What are your powers? I saw you teleport."
"That is rather private question?"
"I'm sorry i didn't mean it like that, h-have a nice day!" What was that about? Do i look that scary? Let's see... black coat, black sweater, black pants and black leather shoes, cane from time to time. I make the cane appear and disappear with my power simply storing it, yes as mentioned before i have powers, but unlike other people, who can only have one power at once, i have three powers, and not just some ordinary powers, mine are absolute. No it's not like that, all three of them are the powers of absolute, simply... wielder of such power have an absolute control over his speciality. No limits and i have three of them, it's god-like but it's not like i wanted it, to get the power of absolute is like winning a lottery, a wielder of power must die and the power goes to a random person, the reason i got three times lottery price is because three users clashed with each other causing an anomality i can't really explain, don't blame me i wasn't there. That's something you'd ask the witnesses and the absolute knowledge wielder, but he sure knows how to hide away from people. For my powers it's the time control, i simply stop time, see the future and stuff. Second one is space control, that is also why i didn't die from that fall, i transported myself at the same place i am at with just different position. The third power is mind control, that one is crazy, i can control every human's and animal's action, make them think it's their own decision, control everything a human brain is responsible for inside the body.Funny thing, i'm propably the strongest man alive, and people still don't believe me. It's not like i tell everyone about it, nobody knows about me but still it's hard to believe that the speedster and strongman are the strongest hero professions out there.There are many speedsters, strongmans, elementalists, espers and stuff. And i know many stronger than current esteemed strongest heroes, and they dont even have the powers of absolute which appear once per lifetime, there can always be only one wielder of certain power of absolute. Done with the powers, i need to find something to do, the curse of immortal - boredom. Why immortal, just because of time control, i could stop that, but i'm a good person, if there's a chance of someone getting three powers of absolute at once after i die, and that person is of evil will, i can't let myself to die. With such power you could rule the world, and that's not for me or anyone else.Let's see maybe i go meet with someone.
