Aiden:
Mira

"Ya sure? Really, really sure?" Mira gave Roman a Look, the sort that withered over-confident early series shounen guys on the vine until they got their second wind of determination from being shouted at for being a wuss. Then she shrugged, and started to jog down the street. "Alright, keep up then!"

yinsukin:
Roman

The glare struck at his very core, his body paralyzed, his nerves broken.  All of that bravado was gone in a moment.  No it wasn't gone, merely hiding under a layer of fear.  Of what he was scared of, he didn't understand yet.  Roman watched for a moment as Mira's body flowed so gracefully forward, her strides effortless but powerful.

Inhale the pain and exhale the hesitation.

With that task done, Roman followed behind Mira, silent, his eyes locked on the purple-haired woman.

Aiden:
Mira

At first her pace was fine, a light jog at most that even Roman wouldn't be too winded by. Mira's pace picked up over the next several minutes, seeming to plateau each time Roman caught up with her pace for a minute and then upping the ante from there.

But when he inevitably faltered, she slowed back down until he could catch up.

They didn't seem to actually be going anywhere yet.

yinsukin:
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!

Aiden:
Mira

And as if that were the very sign that Mira was waiting for she burst ahead, going double her previous speed while weaving between people on the sidewalk and not losing pace! Roman quickly lost track of her, only for moments later to find Mira coming up from behind him and running right next to him. "You enjoying your warm-up?!"
