74->Even though only three seconds had gone by between [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]]'s red boots touching the dirt of the ancient arena and the first blow being struck, it was enough time for her to size up her adversary, her surroundings, and her situation.\
75Time slowed down, subjectively, for normal human beings in a crisis situation. It gave you time to react in a way that might save your life.\
76[[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kryptonians]] were no different. Except that, under suns that weren't red, their senses were much superior to that of a normal human's, and their memory capacity so much greater. Their motive ability was beyond lightspeed. When activated, their reaction time rivalled that of Franchise/TheFlash.\
77So Kara had the time to note the presence of about 8,500 people packed into the stands.

88->Then Professor March stopped speaking and froze in place.
89->Alice had stopped, too. The room was silent. A chair creaked. Quentin couldn't move either. There was nothing restraining him, but [[AndIMustScream the line between his brain and his body had been cut]]. Was [[HumanoidAbomination the man]] doing this? Who was he? Alice was still leaned over slightly in his direction, and a fly-away wisp of her hair hung in his field of vision. He couldn't see her eyes; the angle was wrong. Everything and everybody was still. The man on the stage was the only thing in the room still in motion.
