Things had changed a bit since his talk with Steve a few weeks ago but James was more glad he had a place to stay. Especially with the temperatures. But even with the cold it didn't keep the criminals away. He was walking down on the streets, exploring more of the city when he caught sight of a man who seemed to be in his thirties hauling ass down the street with a purse.

He spotted the owner crying for help but given how cold it was, not many people were going to help her. Am I a hero or not? he thought. He took off after the thief and activated his gauntlet, hurling the energy shield at the thief and knocking the purse out of his hands. James did a few impressive parkour moves and caught the person before tossing it back at the woman. He didn't stick around though and continued chasing the thief down, leaping through obstacles before he tackled the thief hard and sent a solid elbow to his head to knock him out.

Tossing his hair out of his face, he grinned a bit. "Not exactly like how my Dad would do it but improvise right?" he chuckled, using the thief's belt to hog tie him. "Suppose I should be nice and dump you in front of a police station huh?" he asked, standing. Hopefully his mother and father would be proud. Even if they never found out.

Mia was close to turning in for the night. She didn't like to think that her aversion to the cold made her a shitty hero, but her nose was red and starting to run. But she figured another hour or so wouldn't hurt.

She saw the guy running down the road, and also began her chase of him from the rooftop. It only took her a second to notice that someone else was chasing the man as well.

She stayed on the fire escape watching him as he took the guy down. "Impressive she called out."

"There's actually a patrol car a few blocks away. Might be easier to call it in." She said placing her bow back on her back.

He looked up and noticed the costumed figure above him and he tried to place her but he didn't know many of the heroes of this area. "I don't have a phone," he returned. He hauled the perp up and placed him on some steps before looking up at the heroine. "You got a way to call this in? If not I can carry the jerk down to the car."

He tossed some of his hair from his face. "Forgive me but I'm new in town and don't know who you are."

	She smiled. "No, not a Hawkeye." She said but she didn't offer up more explanation. After all, she didn't want throw too much on him all at once. "Good. Every guy needs a friend who's a girl who doesn't take shit. Y'all don't ever learn otherwise." She joked. "So you... that was a good climb up here." She complimented. "So you've got powers."

	"There's definitely enough." She replied. Which was true they should probably spread out more. "So more of an enhanced human?" She asked. Mia couldn't explain it but she had categories of what she thought were super powers and weren't superpowers and the categories were completely arbitrary. "I mean, no laser beams out of the eyes?"

	He nodded some. At her question about his being an enhanced human he thought about that. "That's...probably the most accurate," he confirmed. "But no. No laser beams or excessive strength. Flying would be cool but I'm grounded." He shrugged. "So I make do with what I got and trained hard to do my parents proud." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's the skillset my team has the most of. People who can fly." She watched him for a long minute as he spoke. He obviously loved hisfamily. They were close and/or worthy of respect. Mia had never had that in her life until fairly recently. "Then call yourself something different. Something you. No rule says you have to follow after anyone." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
