Someone robbed a Walgreen's today. I called Dani as soon as I heard the news, but she had her phone off. It wasn't the one she works at anyway. Of course, I didn't hear about it until it was over. Where would I even get a police scanner? Even the police got there after everything was over, because crime happens quickly and the police can't teleport. I hear the military's working on it, but so far it seems cost-prohibitive and dangerous. Officially, they're up to teleporting rats. However, since the teleportation booths they've developed can only work in a vacuum, I'm guessing they're just teleporting dead rats. Who probably explode half the time. So yeah, they've got nothing on the natural teleporters.
But back to my problems- if I should go superhero, how would I be able to find out about crimes and get there in time to stop them? Patrol is right out. I'm not one of those wall-crawling, roof-running jocks, and I can't fly. I hate jogging (even though I don't sweat anymore). I don't think surveillance is the answer- questions of ethics aside, it's expensive, impractical and liable to get me caught, not to mention brought up on criminal charges myself. How do the superheroes do it? Enhanced senses? Telepathy? Precog sidekick? Luck?
Yet another obstacle. Sometimes I think being a villain would be easier.
