Announce yourself

You take a deep breath and announce yourself to the criminal. "I'm the Ringer! Lay down your gun and surrender!" you shout.

The young man is surprised and he looks at you standing about twenty feet from him. You have your hands on your hips, trying to strike a superhero pose.

"What the..." the man says and he aims his gun at you and fires. You had foolishly expected him to just surrender and it takes you by surprise. It's a good thing he's not a good shot, but he hits you in the left shoulder, causing you to fall to the ground in pain. Outside, you can hear the police mobilizing after hearing the gunshot.

William, the guy who tried to kill the vice president, walks over to you. He looks down at you, confused at your outfit and how you had gotten into the warehouse.

"Who the fuck are you?" he asks, aiming the gun at your head.

You're hurting so much that you almost pass out, but you managed to activate your time control ring and freeze time.

"Fuck!" you yell at the top of your lungs, frustrated at your stupid mistake. Standing up, you examine the wound on your shoulder and it looks like the bullet is still in there, and you're bleeding quite a lot. You grab the gun out of William's still hand and point it at his head, ready to pull the trigger, but you stop yourself at the last moment. No, you're not going to jeopardize your reputation for some stupid criminal, you decide.

Instead, you go pick up some stray nylon rope laying around in warehouse and hog tie the guy up so that all his limbs are bound together behind him. You still have a sharpie in your pocket from fighting crime, and you use it to write a message on the ground that says, "Courtesy of The Ringer. Please send the vice president my regards." You then leave the gun on the floor next to William, so that the police have the evidence they need to put him away.

Then, you activate your invisibility ring before restarting time.

A few seconds later, about 3 dozen police storm into the warehouse from all directions in full tactical gear and they're shocked to see William on the floor all tied up. William is shocked as well, as he starts screaming and cursing. "Who was that??!? The government is hiding people with superpowers!" he yells as a few officers haul him away. Others have gathered around the message on the floor.

"The Ringer? Who's that?"

"Oh! I've heard of this guy. My cousin in New York can't stop talking about him. Some sort of new superhero."

You smile to yourself as the police all speak about you in wonder as you hold on to your injured shoulder. You realize that your blood is dripping all over the floor and it's lucky nobody has noticed yet, but you need to find a doctor.
