Henry the Presumably Innocent
My name is Henry the Adequate, and I am a superhero.
"Excuse me officer, I saw what happened," says a strangely familiar voice. It is as though I have met the person before or something.
"Did you?" The policeman is looking at somebody directly behind me.
"No, I did not. But I may have just seen somebody running a red light," explains June. She is now visible to my left, an expression of hopeful helpfulness on her face.
"Right. Stand aside please." For some reason he seems unimpressed by June's willingness to assist. The policeman turns back to me. "Now, tell me what happened."
"I do not know, officer. I was in another state at the time."
"Five minutes ago?"
"Yes."
"You were interstate five minutes ago?" The flickering light of a massive raging fire - sorry, alleged fire - lights up his face, revealing an expression of slightly extreme skepticism, as though for some strange reason he suspects that I am not being entirely honest.
"Um... It could have been six minutes..."

You should give June more air time, she's always so willing to help. LOL
That's why she's called Helpful June.
I do feel guilty though, because I have been neglecting June.
I knew I saw you in City of Heros!
What is City of Heroes?
Googling........ Ah, a computer game. I see. Interesting.
