"Are you sure he's gifted." The bass but clear voice said.

"Yes, I'm positive and his ability is an interesting one." The other voice replied in a sinister manner.

"Time control.... That is an interesting one indeed. Okay I give you permission to bring him in."

"Thank you sir."

"But, to avoid anymore disappointments take Cauldron with you. You hear me Andrew."

"Loud and clear....Captain."

I hugged my knees and kept on thinking , I was drowning in the power of my own mind and the door to escape was so tremendously far away, what happened today, would it happen again, next time will it affect me, is this mysterious power dangerous.

"If you keep thinking that deeply about it you'll end up drowning in your own mind."

"Don't worry I've got "it" under control." I answered without actually seeing who I was answering to.

I didn't immediately look up, I was a bit hesitant but when I finally mustered enough courage to actually look up i was terrified. The dark aura emitted by the guy was enough to petrify a man just by looking at him and I know its true because of its affects on me. I was stuck I couldn't move, I could still speak but fear was engraved in my body.

"What's happening, who....who are you." I ask still in my petrified motion and went on. "Are you here to kill me?."

"No, no the opposite in fact I'm here to recruit you to our cause, now you'll join I assume." As he finishes his sentence with his sinister eerie tone he looks me in the eye.

"Now that's one question answered, and the answer to the second is my name is Andrew Cin or you can call me by the name most call me "Sin" and its a pleasure to meet your acquaintance." He goes on with his eerie meter topping the charts.

"Well whatever it is you want leave me out if it." I struggle and struggle but I can't break hold of the petrification.

"Oh I would love to do that but the boss, wants what the boss wants and the boss wants you."

"Well your gonna have to find a replacement for my role." If I've done it once I can do it again instead of being scared of my power I have to embrace it, its mine and that's that. I close my eyes and once I open them back up, whatever his name was in  a standstill, the petrification undone and I quickly run out of my house only to meet another obstacle.

As I rush out the back door I'm greeted by a clothesline that grounded me flat, what happened I'm sure I was still in range for my time stop to work or was it that this guys power was.... Oh no.
I hold my neck and cough out a bit of blood and when i think of the impact I think I should have coughed out more, and here I was thinking pro wrestling was fake. Well this certainly changed my train of thought both mentally and physically.

I look above me and I see a man with blonde hair and the muscles of someone who sleeps while carrying weights yes that's what he looked like and I thought "oh no was it this dream."

The blonde haired man grabs me by my neck and pulls me up choking me in the process, he snaps his left fingers and a second after what's his name runs through the door about to shout but once he sees us he calms himself.

"Well that was certainly intriguing, his power can negate the "guilt of sin" never thought my power would ever be outclassed by anyone except you Cauldron."

I can barely hear them talking anymore but by the way what's his faces lips are shaped its probably something unimportant, i was slowly losing consciousness as "big muscles" walked with my body in his palm like I was a ragdoll.
As it is at the moment I should have most certainly lost consciousness but in fact I was very conscious, big biceps held my neck tight but not tight enough to actually strangle me well that sucks I just hope no one sees me in this state. Or better yet I hope someone sees me and calls the police but I think I would find it hard to explain this current situation over the phone.

"Cauldron I think you've noticed it." What's his face said while looking around. Yeah I'm the narrator I'll call them whatever I want.

"Yeah, one.... No two I can sense two in the distance they're quick, and discreet their most likely gifted." King Kong answers still looking forward and yes I'm still in his palm fulfilling my life long dream of being a ragdoll, so this is what that girl must have felt like.
Suddenly my carriage stopped what kind of atrocity is this you should give "Coraline the ragdoll" the respect she deserves.

Cauldron and Sin both on high alert it seems they were not the only ones looking for a recruit with the ability to stop time.
"So you think their hostile, Cauldy."

"I can't assume that by just their presence only." Cauldron turned 360 surveiling his surroundings intensely and I thought of what this scene with my body in his hand would look like from a birds eye view.

"They're coming." Cauldron probably said something and immediately jumped into the air.
Sin followed without hesitation and was thankful he did because  a second after two large implosions destroyed half the concrete they were standing on.

"Implosions that can only mean." Sin made a very terrifying conclusion.

"Yep the one villain i rather not cross heads with...Target!." Cauldron says and lands swiftly a few metres away from the villain and his friend.

"Wow, I'm so famous that even the inglorious Cauldron knows about me, oh shucks your making me blush." Target said as he stretched out his hand and continued. "Oh were are my manners, this is my friend Arch."

"I'm here too." Sin trying to make his presence known but was totally and completely ignored.

"How bout you give us the boy and I don't turn you into a pancake." Target threatened Cauldron with his hand still stretched out.

"Not today buddy." Cauldron stood his ground literally he etched his feet into the concrete and prepared for takeoff.

"I really didn't want to use my Powers on you but so be it, prepare yourselves gentlemen for you have chosen....Death."
