Characters
Alex

Alex is a Caucasian man in his late twenties, with messy, short brown hair and thoughtful brown eyes. He has a clean-shaven face and an average build. In the office, he wears a slightly rumpled light blue button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and dark slacks. At home, he wears a simple grey t-shirt and jeans. When his powers manifest, his hands and a faint aura around them glow a shimmering blue.
Pedestrian 1

Pedestrian 1 is an East Asian woman in her early thirties, with straight, shoulder-length black hair and dark brown eyes.

Pedestrian 2
minor
Pedestrian 2 is a Black man in his late forties, with a neatly trimmed beard and short, dark curly hair. He has a heavier build and wears practical, comfortable clothing: a dark green polo shirt, khaki cargo shorts, and sturdy walking shoes. He wears a pair of prescription glasses.

“Come on, come on.”

“Whoa!”

“Too much!”

Panel 7: Alex, trying to walk calmly through a busy street, accidentally brushes shoulders with a passing pedestrian.
“Oh, sorry!”
Panel 8: The pedestrian is violently flung backward into a fruit stand, scattering apples and oranges everywhere, as Alex clutches his now-glowing hands in panic.
“Look out!”
Panel 9: A city bus swerves violently as its forward kinetic energy is partially absorbed by Alex, sending it veering towards a lamppost.
“No! Stop!”

Panel 10: Alex, with a look of intense focus, channels the bus's kinetic energy into the ground, gently lowering the vehicle just before it hits the lamppost.
Panel 11: Alex surveys the chaotic but now safe scene, seeing worried faces turn to relief as people check on each other.
“I... I did that.”
Panel 12: Alex stands tall amidst the street, clenching his now-subtly glowing fist with a determined expression.
“This power needs a purpose.”
