Chapter 12 by keron keron

What's next?

Go for a walk

After you and Olivia get dressed, you let her go about her day. You're almost curious to find out if she goes to college or has a job, but decide to leave that for later.

You stop time and teleport downtown. You can't be too careless with using your powers. If people saw you apparate out of thin air, investigations would follow. Especially in New York City where there are security cameras everywhere.

You had chosen to teleport into the bathroom of a cafe downtown that you frequent. Looking around, you see that you're alone, so you restart time and exit the bathroom.

Now that you have all these amazing magical abilities, you wonder what you should do. Walking down a quiet alley in deep thought, you almost didn't hear the shriek and shuffling of feet behind you. Before you can turn around, a burly man runs right through you, shoving you aside to the wall in the process.

He turns around briefly to look at you, still running. You curse at him, but do nothing else. Behind you, a woman in her mid-thirties comes chasing in sandals, panting profusely. She's wearing a nice beige sundress. She's also out of breath and not dressed for a foot pursuit.

The woman glares at you. "Why didn't you stop him? He snatched my purse!"

You shrug.

"For God's sake! Look at you! You're a fit young man who could have done something! Now what am I going to do?!" she yells, almost in tears.

You want to comfort her, but decide against it since she's angry at you. Before you can say anything, a police officer walks up to you both, inquiring about the robbery. After giving a short statement to the officer, you walk away, avoiding eye contact with the woman who still blames you for not stopping the thief. Even the officer regards you with a hint of disdain.

You keep walking, still frustrated about the incident. It wasn't your fault, you think. As you pass a comic book store, something in the window catches your eye. It's the latest issue of Spider-Man. Your eyes light up as you realize you just had your "with great power, comes great responsibility" moment.

What do you do about this new revelation?
