No longer just a joking metaphor for butts, the south end business serves as the middle-ground, thread-wise, between the high end and the low end, you're generic. Anything that doesn't fit into the other two will likely fit here.

A few hours after school, Samuel was out jogging, trying to keep in shape. After the talk with his coach about the talent scouts, he intended to keep in top shape.
He waited at a cross walk, his thoughts on other matters till the "walk" sign lit up. As he jogged across, he heard the squeal of tires and the roar of an engine, a car barreling across the intersection, trying to make the light. Samuel had time to turn and face it before it came upon him. He reacted instinctively, his hands shooting out and grabbing the car, shoving it away from him. The car flipped and rolled to a stop in front of another building, no one, luckily, was in the way.
Samuel's eyes went wide as he stared at the car, his hands, and the eyes of everyone else watching the same two things, and he bolted, fear and shock pushing him along as he raced back for his home.

There was one person in particular that took great interest in the display. He sent a quick message out through his phone and then took off trying to follow after Jeffery.

Samuel was fast, but not so fast that he couldn't be caught up to. However, if he was just being followed, he ran straight home.

He was just being followed, and his place of residence was dully noted. They'd found another, and at a later point they would have to extract him, particularly since super-strength (which they assumed the power to be) was one of the more dangerous powers to leave alone.

Samuel got home and acted normal enough to his folks to avoid suspicion, and went to his room to sit confusedly and wonder what the hell just happened.

Meanwhile, the call had gone in and a team had been assembled. With the exact subject identified, his home placed, and the powers given a volatile rating, Samuel had been bumped up the list to a higher priority. The keepers intended to tranquilize the boy and then stage a suicide note involving the Eva to mainland bridge.
A swift-footed keeper was sent in first, speeders usually held their own rather well against super strength. Before anyone could be even aware that the window had opened and closed, the speeder was in the house and headed down the hall to Samuel's room.

Samuel was sitting on his bed, curling free weights as he reasoned what had happened earlier that day. He must have just gotten lucky, the car swerved away from him and flipped, he just thought he hit it. Made sense enough, though he prolly should have stayed.
He set the weights to the side, standing up to go grab something to drink.

The speeder opened Samuel's door and fired a couple of tranq shots directly at him.

Samuel stepped to the side smoothly, the shots going to the far wall.
"What the ********? Who the hell are you?" He yelled, swinging a punch at the guy.

The speeder's face was covered with a ski mask, so if he was seen it would look like a break in or robbery of sorts. His head moved faster than a blink of an eye as Samuel tried to punch him.Then he followed with a super speed punch of his own.

Ruby St.Claire The speeder's face was covered with a ski mask, so if he was seen it would look like a break in or robbery of sorts. His head moved faster than a blink of an eye as Samuel tried to punch him.Then he followed with a super speed punch of his own. "Ah!" Samuel yelled as the speeder punched him. Time slowed down for Samuel, his hand moving up to block the fist. "Ah! He swung with his other fist at normal speed for the guy's head, still no idea what was going on or why how he was blocking these.

The speeder was stunned for a moment as Samuel missed the punch, and took the hit. Being he was very unused to taking hits, it hit a bit harder than expected. He was pushed back against the wall briefly, his hand moving to a communicator where he gave out the words, "Subject has additional powers, speed."
In a matter of seconds two others began to move in, one already in the house, and one coming in through Sam's window.

Samuel's father came out of the basement, looking around.
"Sam? Janice? What's happening?" He yelled, coming into the first room. He saw the one moving in through the door.
"What the hell are you doing in my house? Get the ******** out!" He yelled, grabbing a chair, brandishing it angrily.
"Ah!" Sam yelled as another man came in the window. He grabbed one of the free weights, throwing it at the new guy.

The chair in the father's hands began to sprout, growing limbs and thorns at surprising speed as the keeper he confronted lifted up a tranq gun and aimed it at him. "Don't move." He said calmly.
As for the man coming in through the window, the weight bounced against his skin pressing in and then falling flat as if the man were made of a rubber like substance. He moved towards Samuel, a soaked cloth in his left hand.
