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.

	He again shrugged. "I don't know. My father fought in the second World War and my mother did spy things during the Cold War." He nodded some. "School for me didn't exist growing up," he returned. "So I guess you could call me home schooled." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, that timeline made absolutely no sense at all. She looked at him for a minute. "So... I'm officially confused. That'd put your birthday in the 60s." Mia leaned against the ledge a bit. "You didn't miss a lot. Most people our age are idiots." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He looked at her and shook his head. "My...father is probably one of the more famous heroes in this time..." Hearing that most people their age were idiots he chuckled a bit. "I'll admit to stupid stunts," he confessed with a grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

World War II... Famous heroes in this time? "Wait a sec..." She took a step towards him, and then did the rather rude thing of invading his personal space as her thumb and forefinger came up to his chin to move his face from side to side. "Well that explains the fanboying." She said. She quickly moved her hand, realizing her hand was still on his chin.

She backed up. "Stupid stunts. That's my middle name. I pull my most badass heroics out of my ass."

He blinked when she grabbed his chin and examined his face. He nodded some and looked down. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to have seen him and not be able to tell him who I am just in case it messes with the time and keeps me from being born?" he asked. He shook his head. "Talk about a headache with this time travel crap," he chuckled.

He laughed a bit and shrugged. "Sometimes that's the only way to win though. Doing something completely stupid and unexpected to take your opponent by surprise."

"Or causes him to go seek her out and then you're not born but there's a gaggle of kids instead?" She shook her head. "I have no idea how time travel works, or alternate dimensions or magic." The list of things she didn't get was strong.

"It's not sometimes. I'm crazy." She did wonder why exactly anyone listened to her when her favorite plan was... Fight and don't die.

	He shrugged. "That's about what I say. No idea what brought me here or if I can even go home." He sighed. "I just hope everyone's okay back home..." James chuckled some. "Crazier than a teenager who forced the Hulk out to stop a bad guy?" he asked, looking over at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So what do you know about the history of where you're from? Because I think alternative realities are a thing too." There was something about Power Girl being the same person as Kara but Mia never really understood that either. "No powers. I refuse to mess with the Hulk. But I do shoot at people with automatic weapons with pointy sticks every night." SHe joked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James sighed heavily. "It's...fuzzy," he admitted. "I know I was born in New York but I can't remember what exactly happened that led to me and some others having to be raised in hiding. I know there was some enemy set about taking over the world but...it's just..." He growled in frustration and ran his hands through his hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And no history, like past historical events, wars, iconic world leaders?" She asked. "Because I figure the best way is to see if the history you know matches the history I know, because if it doesn't... then we're not just worrying about time travel." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nothing distinctive," he returned. "Whatever brought me here was extremely painful...it made me forget or block things out." He shrugged. "I can't be all that specific..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Sucks. That'd be helpful info to have." Though who knew perhaps it would come back eventually. He had looked like he'd been in an explosion. "Listen," she said, digging into the pocket on her quiver. "I feel like I should keep in touch with you."

Because this was too strange, and while he looked well cared for now, he was still the missing puppy. She produced a card with a number on it. "It's to the burner I have."

	He nodded some. It would be helpful info to have but that would make things too easy and a hero's life was anything but. When she pulled the card out he took it and studied it. "Thanks. I uh...don't exactly have a phone or anything but I'm staying with a guy in Brooklyn who helps out at a youth shelter. So...y'know. Stop by if you want." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She studied him for a second. "Well, if he turns out to be a creepster. I have a couch." She told him. She was extremely serious about this. She knew first hand that pure altruism with regards to street kids was a thing that happened, but she also knew there were pretenders in the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James actually laughed at her words and coughed to regain composure. "He's definitely anything but a creepster. I trust him," he said confidently. After all, if you couldn't trust Captain America then who could you trust? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miaishere 2015-02-21 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded there was nothing she could do if he said he trusted him. "Just saying. Be on the look out for pricks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	avenging_son 2015-02-21 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	"I will be," he assured her. "And you'll be one of the first people I call too if I find creepsters." (Reply to this) (Parent)
