Mike immediately returned to his normal size, and he was glad he did, as there seemed to be a crowd gathering around him. He was momentarily disoriented, both by the force of the gun and the new perspective, but he came back to reality when the woman whose shoe he was on just a moment before screamed at him again.
"What the FUCK are you doing?"
He had no real answer, so he sort of stammered out, "I don't know, just messing around," and turned around to walk away. Unfortunately for him, the crowd that now surrounded him wasn't exactly about to let him pass. As he tried to sneak through, a few guys in the crowd grabbed him and shoved him back into the middle of the group.
One of them looked at him angrily. "Seriously, what the hell is going on? What's with that gun? How did you shrink yourself?" Mike looked at the gun in your right hand. Despite all the power it gave him, he started to panic.
Very quickly, Mike ran through his options. He doubted he could hit them all with the mind control and then order them to disperse fast enough. He might be able to shrink them all before someone stopped him, but this was a crowded train platform and the countless people coming and going would see him. Same goes for turning himself into a giant and just stepping over the crowd. Much as he loved these new powers, he wasn’t ready to show up on the evening news just yet. Maybe he could just shrink a few of the people, hop over them, and run. He'd still cause a scene, but maybe he could escape.
Once again, it was time to think fast.
