DC- New Age

Chapter 8 - The fastest man alive

Blitz was singing a slight modification of one of his favourite songs as he travelled back to central city, the place where it all started becoming a living nightmare for him.

"I wanna be the very best,

like no one ever was....

To beat them is my real test,

to maim them is my cauuusseee.

I will travel across the land,

searching far and wide.

Making each one of them,

to understand;

The rage that burns inside.

Hells kitchen! gotta rule em all

I know it's my destiny.

oooh, you're my best hope,

having none on which I can depend.

all those wounds! gotta face 'em all.

recieving a cut or two,

my healing factor will pull me through.

You kick me and I'll kick you,

Ah f.u.c.k itttt alllll!

Gotta boss them all

Gotta boss em aaall....

yeaahhh"

By the time Blitz had finished perfecting his song/goal, he had arrived at central city.

What a bustling place it was; crowded to the brim without any space to even bend. Just kidding, this is not the indian metro. The streets were almost empty with only one or two vehicles zooming about. The pedestrian was even worse with it being totally empty, except for a single homless dude sleeping near an alley.

"Poor sod!" Blitz felt pity on seeing this homeless dude who has to go hungry for who knows how long. Blitz walked past the homeless guy, who's box "magically" manifested $10, much to his (homeless) surprise.

"Now that I think about it" realized Blitz "I'm not really that unfortunate compared to people who might be facing things much worse, their entire lives instead of a short burst of misfortune like".

These were the thoughts running in his mind after he saw the homeless and realized that he was rather lucky compared to people who might have faced something much more terrible. Just that he was beaten back to back without anytime to recover, hence causing such depression, anger and negativity. Now, after calming down, Blitz actually felt a weight lift off his c.h.e.s.t.

"I shouldn't needlessly stress on what happened to me in the past. I will just cause me more harm, if I act impulsively" Though Blitz thought this and slightly modified his plan and decided to take more time before coming to a conclusion on what he should do. Take over the underworld or don a cape and go around shouting "Marthaaaa!".

"No matter what I decide, revenge I shall take" Blitz mood suddenly darkened as he remebered the culprits behind his misfortune, especially the old woman, papamidnite and the lady Tina boland.

"They must feel how it is to be punished for something you did not do." Burning his revenge in his mind, Blitz walked further into the alley while repeatedly humming and singing the first 9 lines of his newly created song.

A woman wearing a bluish green top, could be seen serving some drinks to one of the customers, when she notices a man, in a black jacket and purple top, entering the shop.

"Oh my god" the woman keeps the kettle down and covers her mouth, unable to believe what she is just seeing. She immediately runs towards the man and hugs him, afraid to lose him once agian.

"You're awake!" she says seperating from his embrace and examining him up and down, still shocked. "why didn't star labs call us?".

"I just woke up" The man replied, glee apparent on his face.

"Should you even be on your feet?" The woman asks him out of concern.

"I..I'm fine Iris" said the man, trying to console Iris with an awkwards smile..

"I watched you die Barry" Iris tells Barry, on the verge of tears "your kept dying, your heart kept stopping"

Barry looks down, keeps her left hand on his c.h.e.s.t and says "Still beating" with a silly smile plastered on his face.

"Yeah, really fast!" Iris says shocked at the pace at which his heart seemed to beat.

"Oops!" a woman says as she bumps into a waitress, thus causing her to drop her platter.

However what happense next shoxks barry as everything seemed to go in slowmotion. As he can clearly see the waitress' shock and the platter and its contents still in mid air, as a man next to him throws a key to his friend to catch. The next instant, everything seems to be back to normal.

"Are you okay JC?" Iris turns back and asks the waitress who just dropped the utensils, before turning back to Barry "My dad is gonna be so happy to see you" she says and runs to inform her father of this wonderful news.

Barry then meets Iris's dad in the department where few more pleasentries are exchanged with a few others, one of whom was Eddie, a man whom Iris seemed to like.

After Eddie is sent away by Iris to meet her father, suddenly Barry notices that a convict is trying to pull a gun secretly from the holster of one of the officers who were handcuffing him.

*Swoosh* Barry didn't know what came over him as he pushed the man slightly to prevent the accident, all within the blink of an eye, causing the paperworks to fly everywhere.

Seeing Barry fl.u.s.tered, Iris asks him "Are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine, I just need some air, I'll call you tonight okay?" saying this Barry exits the place and sees his hand vibrate at an incredible speed and turn into a blur.

"what's happening to me?" A freaked out barry almost smashes into a wall when he tries to take a step forward. Stopping himself in time, he then tries to go back. Unfortunately, this time he collides with a police car, thus shattering it's rear glass.

Amazed with his discovery of him having superspeed, he rushes through the narrow alley as fast as he could, making all his surroundings seem like a blur.

Blitz was walking along the alley, when he sees a white laundry van, parked in front of him. As he was about to pass the van suddenly he feels light headed as something inside him seemed to awaken.

Though, this process lasted only a little while and Blitz soon regained his senses.

"Aaaaargh!" a high pitched scream could be heard the moment he regained his bearing.

"What is tha...." before Blitz could turn towards the source of sound, he felt a huge force slam into his back. These were the only things Blitz's brain could process, before everything went black.
