How to Torture a Speedster (Standing in line)
Waiting for anything was something that Iris had a very hard time doing. So when she walked into Starbucks to grab two Hazlenut Grappuccinos and saw the line...well this was going to suck mightily. Still the need for sugar and caffeine out weighed anything else.

Iris got in line. Five seconds later it already felt like an eternity.

	Marcus walked into the Starbucks to get a caffeine boost after a tough long night. Looking at the long line he rubbed on of his temples groggily. After all the work they did to help people he really wished they could just made a superhero line cutting card or something. (Reply to this)(Thread)
