May would have acknowledged his introduction with a reckness sneer if Ronald hadn't sounded so serious. He really was the fastest man in the world which meant he'd just shared with her part of his power. Oh boy, she'd have to be the biggest fool in the universe if she didn't test his abilities. As he argued with the Moment, albeit in a teasing way, May decided not to interrupt them. In fact, she thought it was the perfect moment to try out her new abilities.
Spinning, she dashed towards the edge of the rooftop and made a jump, her hands spread out in a swan dive. Super explosive speed shot through her body. May let out a woot. Ronald's power coupled with hers was a blast. She landed on a water tank, hopped off to crouch against the glass pane of a skyscraper and began wall-running. Any human would see nothing but a blur of movement so fast, they'd think it was a figment of their imagination.
As she shot through the air, she felt a trickle of power fade away. It seemed his power-sharing was only momentary. It was time to return. May made one final jump, flipped and landed on the rooftop.
"That was refreshing," she said, laughing as a hum of excitement drummed through her blood. She leaned forward from her waist, bowing a little and smiled. "Thank you."
She wanted to mention she could self-regenerate but felt she could keep that a secret for now. Besides, as much as it had been short-lived, she wouldn't mind experiencing his abilities again if he was ever obliged to share. It was a little selfish and she couldn't help but chortle at herself.
Turning to the Moment, May noticed she was barely a silhouette, her features fading away like ash blown by the wind. Before she disappeared, May said to her, "Nice to meet you."
When Ronald had introduced himself, he'd mentioned his surname was Miles. Did he have any connection to Wesley Miles? When she'd arrived at the scene, they were the only ones fighting and when Wesley had managed to escape, Ronald had been frustrated. They had to be connected in some way. She was also curious about the Moment. If he was the source of her power, did that mean she was his constant companion? Wouldn't that make things sometimes...uncomfortable?
"Are you related to Wesley Miles? What happened? Is the Moment always with you?"
May clamped a hand over her mouth as color rushed to her cheeks. She'd asked too many questions at once no doubt, to a total stranger. It was absolutely mortifying!
