[Good] You restart time

You pick up the purse, and hold it out while standing 10 feet in front of the woman. She's going to be startled either way, but you figure this might be the best approach, and you restart time.

The moment you deactivate the magic ring that controls time, the tiny dress on Elena Zlunic tears apart in two directions, leaving her naked except for the white lace panties.

"-AHHHHHH!!!" as she resumes the scream she had started before you had frozen time. Then, she pauses, confused. She sees you instantly, while also realizing that the two men attacking her were nowhere to be found.

"AHHH!" she screams again instinctively, as her arms shoot up to her chest to cover her petite breasts, not that you didn't get an eyeful already.

"Calm down, Elena. It's okay. I'm here to help. I took care of those guys," you say quietly, trying to be as non-threatening as possible. You wave the purse at her, inviting her to take it back.

Her head turns from side to side rapidly a few times, checking her surroundings to confirm that the thugs were no longer there. Not speaking, she sizes you up in your costume, not knowing what to make of you.

Eventually, she takes a cautious step toward you, and reaches out one of her skinny arms just close enough to snatch the purse out of your hand quickly, before she takes 5 steps back in those red high-heels. One arm still across her chest, she awkwardly checks her purse to find everything intact.

She looks behind her at the end of alley, then back at you, contemplating if she should run away from you.

"Who are you? What happened to those men?" she asks, lips quivering in fear.

You take your father's black leather jacket off and offer it out to her, inviting her to cover herself.

"I'm a superhero-" you begin, as she lets out a laugh, then stops herself when she remembers her current situation.

"I'm a superhero and I sent those men to the police station. You won't be seeing them again. I'm not going to hurt you. Here, take my jacket," you offer again.

This time, she steps forward and takes it, turning around to slip her arms into the jacket sleeves and zip it all the way up. She turns back around, this time remaining where she stood, an arm's length away from you.

"Do you have a name? How do you know mine?" she asks.

"Well, my superhero name is the Ringer. I saw your ID in your purse."

"Okay... but what's your name? And how come I didn't see you just now? How did you get rid of those men?" she presses.

"It's... John," you reply, knowing you had just committed the cardinal sin of compromising your secret identity. However, the woman standing before you is so beautiful, you just want to comfort her and make her feel safe. "I have special powers that allow me to teleport and freeze time, among other things."

Elena narrows her eyes, eyebrows furrowed. "And why have I not heard of you before?"

"It's my first night out doing this," you shrug sheepishly.

That draws a chuckle from Elena, and you laugh too, easing the tension.

She takes a step closer to you, and her slender hands reach up to your face. She touches the zorro mask you're wearing, pausing for a second to see if you'll stop her. In that moment, you freeze, letting her lift the mask and see your face.

"Well, hello John," she smiles. "Thank you so much for saving me. I think those guys followed me out of the warehouse party and were going to **** me. I thought I was going to die in this dark alley..."

"There, there," you whisper, reaching out to hug her. It's an awkward hug for you since she's a head taller, and she has to bend down slightly. After a few moments, she lets go, but still holding on to your arms.

"Can you take me home, please?" she asks.

"Um... I can't teleport to somewhere that I can't visualize in my head. How about we go to my house first, we'll get you some clothes, and then I can call a cab for you?"

"Yeah... that would be great. I live by myself across town anyway, and I don't think I can be alone right now," she replies.

"Okay, hang on, this will be quick," you say, grabbing her hand as you activate the teleportation ring.
