Roman
The hardest part is taking your first step. What a load of absolute bullshit. That was the easy part. The sound of his steps in sync with the vision of Mira's muscular back in front of him. Yes, this wouldn't be so hard after all.
That was just the first few minutes.
Doubt, the truest fear of all. Its paralyzing toxin trickled into Roman's body, almost as if it were being sucked in by the inhales that ran a bit harsher than normal. As the soft pants turned into harsh gasps, the trickle became a flood. Why did you bother coming out here? You can't do this! Your just a human, nothing special. You have no special powers, no particular genius, nothing. You can't possibly keep up with her! Look at those muscles! Do you really want to bother keeping up with her?
The panting became light wheezing.
Why don't you just stop now and see if she can match your pace, let you be a bit slower. Maybe.... maybe she will go easy on you. Your not special. You never were! You can't possibly expect to start with this much effort right off the bat.
"GRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH" he yelled, speeding up behind her. DAMN IT! ITS NOT TRUE! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE! I WILL BECOME SOMETHING!
I WILL BE MORE SPECIAL THAN EVERYONE ELSE!
