“Stay here” he whispered to Maya before getting up. Of course this immediately got 3 guns pointed at him, but he had a plan. He threw what looked like a steel ball from his pocket, it hit the side of one of the armed guys' wrist. Upon impact it expanded, whirring to surround both wrists and tighten into handcuffs.

Toby saw a dash of white in the corner of his eye. A blonde boy with angelic wings and a superhero get-up that realistically could only slow him down finally decided to arrive. He hit the guys with a strength no boy his age should possess. He hit the guys back and as they hit the floor Toby shot a wire that wrapped around each of their bodies like a snake. People cheered and the police came soon after to arrest the criminals. Toby of course immediately ran to find Maya and then finally get his money.

Ezra or more commonly known by the public as Dove was beyond confused. This guy helps him with machines that seem like they’re from the future then just fucks off? I mean people usually want a photo with him or something. After dealing with fans and news reporters he wanted to find this guy. He seemed to also be 17, he didn’t think anyone else his age would be that daring. Plus he really wanted some of those gadgets, who wouldn’t want to work for the famous Dove. He found him in a line to a banker, that’s probably why he was here to begin with.

He approached this mystery helper, “Hey, thanks for the help back there, you got some pretty neat devices there”

“Hm? Thanks.” He seemed completely disinterested. He doesn’t mean to be egotistical but there are always lines of people asking for photos and this guy won’t even have a conversation. He was with a girl, surely she was a fan, maybe that’s his angle.

He crouched down, “Hey little one”

The guy pulled the girl behind him, “Don’t talk to strangers ”

“I’m not a stranger, I am the hero of the people , Dove”

He rolled his eyes and left, fantastic. Ezra was going to get this mystery guy to make him weapons whether he wanted to or not. However he should probably give up on him being a new friend, the friend he’d tell his identity to. He waited for the boy and his seemingly sister to leave before going up to the bank teller still in costume.

“Oh thank you for saving us Dove!”

“All in a day's work, I must ask though it is of utmost importance i get all the information you have on your previous customer”

“Of course, I’ll print it right away”

That worked surprisingly well, turns out people will give you pretty much anything if you sound important enough. He tried not to break his serious demeanour while he waited for the documents. He took them and left. He changed into his normal clothes, with a baggy hoodie over his wings. He decided to get a sweet treat on his way home, he definitely earned it.

The cafe was calm, a peaceful atmosphere. It wasn’t very busy so it didn’t take long for him to notice the same guy, who he now knows name is, Toby and his- well it says he doesn’t have a sister so friend then? Maybe meeting him like this would work better even if he doesn’t seem like that much of a social butterfly.
