Fastest Hero In The City
WHO: Tommy Shepherd, OTA
WHERE: Around the City
WHAT: May Madness
WHEN: May
WARNINGS: Potential for violence in Heroics stuff.
1. An Prodigy's Life Open to Anyone At SI
Morning. Tommy didn't always like mornings. SI had more than a few interns who were happy to be up and bright eyed and running around in the mornings. Most of them were high school students, and thus of an age with the most noticeable of their number, the one who was working on a defacto 'we'll hire you once the internship' understanding. That was Tommy Maximoff, a young man fresh out of college early, starting his PhD in the fall, with a shock of white hair and who always came in looking tired.
This morning that was true of like any others. He moved at a brisk walk through the lobby and to an elevator and looked half annoyed to have to hold an elevator open for someone.
"Just get on quick," he grumbled, his hand wrapped around a very large but mostly empty cup of coffee.
And then, ten minutes later he was walking into the R&D division he'd been assigned to, putting his coffee down on a counter before unslinging his backpack from his shoulders. He dragged it open and pulled a box of donuts and another of bagels and put them on the counter.
"Food's up Sci-bros!" he called over the work space, grabbing up his cup and heads for his own desk. Cup goes down, an energy drink is pulled out of his backpack, and it gets cracked and poured into his quad-shot espresso. It was a morning ritual that horrified many.
"Okay, what are we working today?" he yawned before taking a very large drink from his cup. "Is Beck in yet?"
2. Crimson Speed On The Streets Open to All
His watch beeped suddenly in the middle of the work day and Tommy cursed under his breath. Why did there have to be an Avengers call in the middle of the day. He called out to no one in particular that he had to go to the bathroom and rushed out.
And instead of the bathroom, he ran for the stairs. Once he was in them he quickly changed and bolted down the floors at impossible speeds and out into the road. He stopped quickly in his running to pull one person off of the street out of the way of a bus, and kept going toward the alarm for a fire.
"See," he said as he came to a stop, dust and dirt kicking up around the scarlet and silver of the costume of Crimson Speed, "it was my understanding that fire fighters did standard fires. Something weird up here?"
3. Tommy At Home Closed to Wanda and Billy
"Mom! B! I'm home!" Tommy shouted as he came in through the front door. It was later than he had wanted. And later than he'd promised, with him arms loaded with grocery bags. He made his way to the kitchen several beats faster than he really should have been able to manage. But given there were only two people in the world he could use his powers around when he wasn't in costume, he wasn't going to be slow at home.
"Did anyone start dinner, or should I work on a stir-fry? Could do a paprikash, but it would take so long tonight," he kept shouting as he entered the kitchen.
"Stupid bank robbery," he grumbled to himself as he did.
4. Speed Dating (lol) Closed to Kyle
Tonight. Sucked. Hard and fast statements there. Work had been hellish, there had been TWO super incidents he'd been caught up in, and JUST before this second one he'd gotten a text from Kyle saying he'd be late for their date. Which just hurt. Kyle was punctual as hell, and Tommy worked so hard to live up to that with his secret life, so this was just a lot.
At least, he supposed, it gave him a chance to come out to this crime and put a stop to it, and even with his favorite team up potential. Who was still there right now. The Human Kite, Tommy's best friend that he wasn't related to or dating.
"So," he said as he watched a cop out some dampener cuffs on the perp the two of them had caught together, "I know I normally stick around to chat you up after these things, but, uh... I sorta gotta book. My boyfriend, that awesome guy I always tell you about? We're supposed to be having a date tonight and yeah he said he was going to be late so I slipped out to do this, but fuck I'm SO late now and he's gonna be hella pissed. Forgive me?"

Kaz handed over what turned out to be a silk handkerchief since that was the part of a mafia Don's outfit that he didn't know what else to do with. And despite what he said he apparently had no trouble with moving quite a ways back after he did. He watched Tommy's expression carefully while he was still more than a little impressed that Tommy seemed to know what to do to take the ray apart.

"Fucking villains. Never sensible," he grumbled before tucking it into a pouch on his costume. Yeah, not ideal for wind resistance, but sometimes you did what you had to do. Then he gathered up the other pieces and looked to Kaz with a nod.
"Hey man, super thanks for the help. Wouldn't have known to look for this."
no subject
"Which villains would those be exactly?"
Kaz didn't mention how the fire had started.
