[ WP ] You are a member of a superhero team . You 've just frozen time seconds before your entire squad gets killed , and there is nothing you can do to change that .

I always was their life saver. Their `` Get out of jail'' card. `` Get into any situation, and the Time Runner will get you out!'' they said. 
 
 But even now, nothing I could do. The nuclear fusion reaction had already started, and something of that magnitude even pushed slowly, slowly away my ability to freeze time. I could see the small deathly bright point of light growing. 
 
 I'd take weeks to extract my team one by one. And I had maybe an hour. Should I save myself? Run away and accept how we were defeated? We should n't have stopped and said great one-liners after each bad guy taken down, we were just seconds late. 
 
 Or do I go down with the team? Disappear not to face the shame? But never be able to help again? 
 
 I take one last look at all my friends stuck in time, milliseconds away from a painless and sudden death. I breathe deeply and take my decision. 
 
 *The sudden blast of the white, burning light of two atoms merging obliterates everything in a 10 kilometer wide radius instantly. Only ashes remain. *
