I dont remember being the fastest man alive

by blackflashingfox1

I am the fastest man alive. When I was 11, my mother was murdered. I saw a ball of lightning. Inside the lightning there was a man. He killed my mom. What happened that night was impossible. Then an accident made me the impossible. Now, well its crazy when you throw in five sisters that look like the other.

"You once said I'll never walk away." I heard, but I didn't know what it was.

"I'll never sail away, I'll never go." I heard, and I didn't know what it meant.

"..."

"And I was there standing outside your door." I heard, but I didn't understand.

"..."

"Waiting for you to show me how to stay." I heard, but I couldn't move.

"..."

"I've been there before." I heard, but I couldn't see.

"Hoping and trying to make things right." I heard, and I felt saddened somehow.

"But now I don't know." I heard, and I agreed.

"Honey, theses arms that wont held you are." I heard, and I felt a chill.

"READY TO FIGHT!?" I heard, where I felt power.

"..."

"READY TO FIGHT!?"

"..."

"You once said I'll never walk away."

"I'll never sail away, I'll never go."

"..."

"And I was there standing outside your door."

"..."

"Waiting for you to show me how to stay."

"..."

"I've been there before."

"Hoping and trying to make things right."

(But now I don't know.)

"But now I don't know."

"Honey, these arms that wont held you are."

"READY TO FIGHT!?"

"..."

"READY TO FIGHT!?"

"..."

"Home is everywhere your heart is." I heard, and my heart hurt.

"I can be that home if you please." I heard, and I felt happy.

"Walk with me and we'll be gone dear!" I heard, but I couldn't smile.

"..."

"Home is everywhere your heart is."

"I can be that home if you please."

"Walk with me and we'll be gone dear!"

"..."

"Honey, these arms that wont held you are."

"READY TO FIGHT!?"

"YEEEE-YEEEEEAH, ready to fight!"

"..."

"YEEEE-YEEEEEAH, ready to fight!"

"..."

"Honey, these are that wont held you are."

"READY TO FIGHT!?"

With the last words, I finally opened my eyes, sitting up and seeing that I was in an empty room. 'Where am I?' I thought, looking down and seeing wires on me. Throwing my legs off the bed, I made my way to a mirror, seeing how thin I was, along with how long my hair grew. 'What is going on?' I thought as I messed with my hair, seeing a face I had never seen before. 'So, this is me?' I thought, not recognizing the person in the mirror.

Looking back at the bed, I saw something on the night stand. Making my way over to it, I picked it up, seeing a paper. Boy struck by lightning and lives. I read in my head, frowning. 'Ends up in coma, is this kid me, what is lightning?' I thought as I placed the paper down and seeing a picture. It was of two boys, one looking older than the other, and seeing how my hair was a brown and one of the kids hair was brown, that was me.

I stood beside a women with brown hair, who was holding a little girl. The women was standing next to a man, who was standing next to a blonde kid. 'This must be my family, but what is a family?' I thought as I didn't understand. 'Better yet.' I thought, looking at my image in the mirror. 'Who am I?' I thought, placing the picture down.

Later that day

Walking down the street, I had taken a red jacket and black pants from a random locker and left the hospital to find out more about the world. Sure I could of waited for someone, but I needed to learn more about the world myself. I didn't know if I was held hostage, or what, but I needed to get out of there. I was bare footed, with no shirt, but my feet didn't hurt and everything just hurt my head. The sound was the worst. Everything about it was killing my ears.

Getting shoved onto the ground, I looked at the older man as he continued to walk on. "Need a hand?" I heard, with me looking up and seeing three girls. They looked alike, but were wearing different clothing and had different hair styles. The one who had spoke was a straight up red head with stars in her hair. The one to her left had a pair of headphones around her neck with brown hair. The one to the right had pink hair and had black and blue ribbons on the side.

"Ha." I said, getting strange looks from them, and not just them, but myself. 'I meant to say Ya, not ha, do I not know how to speak?' I thought as they looked at one another. Shacking my head, I stood up on my own as the offer was no longer on the table due to there confusion.

"What kind of mute just wonders around without shoes, he's homeless!" The pink haired girl said, with me frowning. "He looks like he hasn't had a hair cut in years, its a wonder he doesn't have any facial hair!" She said, with me trying to walk past her.

"No need to be rude, Nino!" The red head said, with her grabbing me. "We'll just do some shopping on the way home, its not like he'll mind, everyone wants to look good!" She said, smiling at me, with me raising an eyebrow at her.

"You could think before you act, Itsuki." The girl with headphones said as she looked at the red head. "He cant hear you, and you just grabbed his arm." She said, with Itsuki looking from my arm to me and then letting me go. "I know some Sign Language, so I'll be the one to talk to him." She said, stepping in front of me.

'Sign Language, what's that?' I thought as I didn't know.

"Hello, I'm Nakano, Miku." She said while doing weird hand signs. "What is your name?" She asked, with me understanding what she was doing, so I made a hand gustier to her, wanting to write. "Understood." She said, pulling a pin and paper from her bag.

She handed it to me, with me putting a question mark on it before passing it back to her, confusing her. "A question mark, so he doesn't know sign language, how are we suppose to speak to him?" Nino asked as she crossed her arms.

"If he knows how to write, then we can communicate like this." Miku said as she started to write on it. She passed it back, with it saying the same thing she asked. Taking it, I wrote I don't know who I am and passed it back to her, with her getting a worried look on her face. "Amnesia?" She asked, spelling it out with her hands, confusing me. "Forgot everything?" She said, with me nodding. "This is bad." Miku said as she looked at the others.

"You're telling me, now we're responsible for him!" Nino said, with Itsuki shacking her head.

"We have to get him to a hospital, they might know what to do!" Itsuki said, looking determined, with Miku and Nino nodding.

"Because I'm the only one who can help him get there, I'll be the one to take him, you two can deal with that stalker and wait for the tutor later." Miku said, with them nodding and walking off. "Follow me please." She said, takin me by the arm and dragging me away.

Later

'This is the place I started.' I thought as I stopped, with Miku stopping as well as I had stopped her. I yanked my arm away and looked at her in fear. 'She's with the ones who held me, I cant go back!' I thought as I turned around and started running away, with me taking off and smacking into a parked car, breaking the back windshield.

"What's with you, you have to pay for that!?" Miku yelled, more scared than angry.

Standing to my feet, I back away from her as she marched over to me. "We found him!" We heard, with us looking over at a man in white coat said, waving down a man in blue.

The man in blue didn't look nice, and the man in white, I didn't trust him, so I took off again, moving at speeds I didn't know I could move. I later found myself at a random street, far away from hospital. Stopping, I looked around as I was lost. I didn't know where I was, who I was, or what to do from here. I was confused, scared, and so out of place.

That was, until I stopped once I saw the same place I saw in the picture that was at the hospital. Walking up to the house, I placed a hand on the door, where I reached up and grabbed a key, shocked that I remembered it being up there. Taking the key, I opened the door. "Welcome home big bro!" I heard, with me walking in as the voice came from the room on my right.

Walking over to it, I peeked inside and saw a kid cleaning. Walking in, I felt like I had been here before, but I didn't remember it. I knocked, gaining the girls attention, who dropped the broom and stared at me with a shocked expression. 'She knows me, is she the little girl?' I thought as I looked around, spotting the same picture on the wall. Walking over to it, I glanced at it and looked at the others, where I saw many other pictures, with some of them missing the women, me and the blonde kid. 'Wonder what happened to them, and who these people are?' I thought as I looked at the girl, who was yelling into her phone.

I made my way to the bag and opened it, where I pulled out a pin and paper. Making my way over to the table, I started writing on it. Seeing the girl look at me, I pointed across from me, with her sitting while on the phone. Passing it over to her, she took it and her eyes widened. "Dad, he doesn't remember anything!" She yelled, with me tilting my head in confusing as I didn't know who her Dad was.

Seeing her write on the paper, she slid it back, with me looking at it. 'Little sister?' I read, looking from it to her. 'So, I'm a big brother?' I thought as I scratched my head, where I took notice of my long hair again. Messing with it, I stood up and walked out of the room. Once I was in the hallway, I walked down to the last door, where I opened it to find the bathroom.

Walking in, I saw my reflection. Opening the cabinet, I found some scissors. Taking my hair, I cut it, and with in moments, it was short with a bit of a spike in the front, like I had it professionally done, whatever that means. Giving myself a thumbs up, I looked at the door, seeing the girl staring at me. I raised an eyebrow as I didn't know how to respond to her, because I couldn't. She looked happy, but sad at the same time.

That's when I remembered seeing lights flashing all over a room. Both Red and Yellow, and it scared me as the women was in the middle of the storm. Rushing past her, I stopped at the room that we were in, with me staring at the spot where our mother had died.

Flashback

Waking up, I made my way down stares to use the rest room. I couldn't hear anything, because I was deaf. Once I reached the bottom stairs, I saw red and yellow lighting running all over the place. In the middle of the room, was my mother, and she was screaming something. After a bit, my father rushed forward to help, but was knocked into the wall, rendering him unconscious. Then there was a yellow man in the lighting, but he was creating red lightning around him before vanishing again.

I ran after my mother, but before I could take a step forward, I was grabbed by a man in red and dragged into the middle of a park. I didn't know where I was, or where to go. I cried as I was lost and didn't know what was going on. That's when I met a girl with light pink hair, who hugged me. I didn't know what was going on, but I hugged her in return and her mother helped me get home, where we learned that my mother had been killed.

Flashback end

"DAKOTA!?" I heard, bringing me back from my flashback. Looking at the door, I saw a man standing there, looking at me with narrowed eyes. It wasn't anger that I saw, but concern. He ran forward, hugging me. "Don't you ever leave a hospital like that, you should know better!" He said, breaking the hug and doing the same hand guessers as Miku. I looked back at the room, with him doing the same. "From what we learned, you don't remember anything. You're lucky that girl told us what was going on with you!" He said, looking into the room as well. He tapped my shoulder, with me looking at him. "Do you remember your mother?" He asked, with me nodding.

"That's good, at least you remember her." He said, with me looking at the stairs. Walking over to it, I went up stairs, with them following me. Once I reached a door that had a name cut into it, I walked inside, where I saw a lot of chemistry sets stacked on shelves. In the middle, was a chain attached to a sky light. Walking over to it, I grabbed the chain, frowning.

Flashback

I was older, and was messing with some chemicals until a paper ball hit me. I looked at where it came from and saw the blonde kid make some hand guessers, where I nodded and stood up as he left. Moving over to the chain, I started pulling it, closing the skylight, only for lighting to hit me, and from there, everything went black.

Flashback end

Backing away, I removed my hand like it was fire. "Seems like he's remembering what happened." I heard the man, with me looking at him. "Come on, we have to get you back to the hospital." He said, walking forward, with me shacking my head at him. He stopped, frowning. "We cant let you wonder around without getting you checked up, we need you to return to the hospital!" He said, sounding angry, with me making the guesser to write.

My sister ran forward with the paper and handed it to me, with me writing down on it and passing it back. "AHH?! HE CAN HEAR EVERYTHING!?" She yelled, shocking the man as well.

"WHAT, SO I DONT NEED TO DO THAT STUPID LANGUAGE ANYMORE, AND I WAS BEGINGING TO THINK THAT I HAD FINALY GOTTEN IT DOWN!?" He yelled, with me shacking my head. "Speak to me son, say your first words!?" He yelled, looking excited.

I kept my mouth shut, not knowing what to say. "He cant speak, he doesn't know how to use his tongue!" My sister said, puffing her cheeks out in annoyance. "But, now that I think about it.: She said, looking m up and down. "He's gotten buff!" She said, with me raising an eyebrow.

'I think I've only been in a coma for a year, that being said, how am I buff?' I thought as I looked at my arms, even opening the coat to find that I had a six pack, with blood shooting from my sisters nose, scaring me as I didn't expect her to suddenly get hurt.

She was caught by the man, who looked scared as he looked at me. "My son has a six pack by doing nothing, I'm jealous!?" He yelled, with me shacking my head as this was going to be a long day for me.

Later that night

'Its crazy, that I was struck by lightning.' I thought as I stood outside, now wearing a new pair of shoes. 'The hospital said I'm in good condition, nothing to worry about and that my memory would return in time.' I thought as I rubbed my head. 'I wonder... Will I meet those girls again, or how was I moving so fast? I was at the hospital one minute, and few seconds later I'm home, it doesn't make since!' I thought as I crossed my arms and looked up as I saw a car pull up.

Seeing the back door open, I watched as someone stepped out, looking annoyed. Seeing the front window roll down, I watched as Itsuki held out a hand book. "So the picture... You saw?" The guy asked, with the girl shacking her head.

"I didn't care to look." She said, looking at him. "You must have felt panicked." She said, confusing me. "If you know what kind of problems await you, then just give up on being our tutor." She said, with me looking at the kid.

"That isn't possible." He said, silencing the girl.

"Ah, brother is back!?" My little sister yelled, running over to the guy.

He looked at her, shocked. "Raiha!"! He yelled, getting hugged by her.

"That girl, is she-"

"You don't know her, lets go inside!" He yelled, with me narrowing my eyes at how he was treating her.

Walking forward, I hit him upside the head, shocking him as he didn't even know I was here. Stopping at the car door, I waved at Itsuki, who looked confused. 'Hello again, I'm the guy you and your friends ran into earlier, I got a hair cut!' I wrote down and showed her, with her nodding.

"Ya... Miku said that you were fast." She said as she wrote it down, with me shrugging as I didn't know what to say. "She even got your name from the hospital, Uesugi Dakota." She said as she wrote it down, with me nodding as I was still getting use to the name. "So you remember?" She asked as she wrote it down, with me shacking my head. "Oh, I see, well its good to see that you're back home...You're his brother!?" She yelled, looking at the kid who I had hit, with me looking at him.

"Hey, if you have the time, then how about having a meal with us?" Raiha offered, smiling at the girl, with me looking back at Itsuki.

"HUH?"

"THAT... HEY! HEY!?"

"THAT GIRL IS BUSY!"

"Please, it would be an honor to have you for dinner, I'm not sure what this punk did, but I'll beat him straight." I wrote, glaring at the kid as I showed it to Itsuki.

"Well... If you insist." She said, getting out of the car, making me and Raiha smile.

Later

"I CANT BELIEVE THIS, MY SON WAKES UP TODAY, ABLE TO HEAR, AND MY OTHER SON BRINGS HIS GIRLFRIEND HOME!?" Our father yelled as he was really happy.

"WAIT, HE CAN HEAR!?" My brother yelled, looking at me as I gave him a piece sign.

"Wow, that's amazing!?" Itsuki said, placing both hands in front of her face. "So you were deaf, but now you can hear?" She asked, with me nodding. "How did it happen, it couldn't of been because you were in a coma, could it?" She asked, with me thinking about how it could of happened and started writing down on the paper.

"I believe that when I was struck by lightning, it popped my ear drums or shocked them, turning them on or something along those lines." I wrote out as I showed it to her.

"Impressive, I'm glad to "Hear" that!" She said, with me rolling my eyes at her pun, smiling.

"But what about school?" My brother asked, with me looking at him. "He was forced to drop out, can he even re-join school?" He asked, with me looking at our father as it was a good question.

"He will be in your grade." He said, shocking him. "Of course he will have special privileges to catch up, but I have complete faith in him to become smarter than you again!" He said, with me tilting my head at him.

"I was smarter than him, was he an Idiot?" I wrote, showing it to dad, getting a laugh out of him.

"No, he was smart, but you definitely got your mothers looks and all!" He said, making me frown. "Eh? This milk box expired a week ago." He said, where I watched him poke a hole in it anyways. "Better drink it now or no one will be able to." He said, grossing me out.

"Almost done." We heard Raiha, with me looking at her. "I thought that you would be back late, so I haven't finished cooking." She said, with me looking at Itsuki.

"How was tutoring?" I asked as I had wrote it down for her to read.

"Actually, I have something to say about that-"

"OF COURSE, IT WAS GOOD!?" My brother yelled, with me staring at him as I wasn't speaking to him but answered for her anyways.

"Really?" Raiha said, with me looking at her as she looked happy. "Then I can be at ease now." She said, making me smile. "In the end, our debt problem will be solved." She said, shocking me.

"Raiha, we have a guest here." My brother said, with me looking at my family.

"Ah, I'm sorry." She apologized, with me looking at them.

"What debt?" I asked as I wrote it down, wanting to know.

"Your medical bills." Dad said, with me looking hurt. "We don't have enough to pay it off, but with Futaro taking up a job, we just might be able to pay it of." He said, with me standing up. "Eh, something the matter?" He asked, but I couldn't look at him.

My family was suffering because of me, and it hurt me. I ran, I didn't care where I went, because I needed some space from them. I had put a huge burden on them, one that I can not remove. I ran, and ran. Everything was a blur once more, and I remembered this. Moving at this speed, but it felt slower now.

Coming to a stop, I found myself at the edge of the city. Taking off my jacket, I tossed it to the side as It had caught on fire. If I could move at this speed, then was it possible for others to move at this speed as well? Was it where anyone struck by lightning gained superspeed? Questions entered my head, but no answers escaped.

Everything that was happening to me was impossible, but it had became possible. Now that I had the power, I can do more with myself, become more, and now I am. I wasn't just someone who was struck by lightning, the lightning chose me for a reason. It was my job to decide what to do with it, and as of right now, I was going to do good. To inspire people in ways that no one could, becoming a protector, not just for my family, but for my entire city. Making a difference, saving people, in a flash.

Turning around, I ran again, this time I wasn't sad, or depressed, I was determined. Once I reached the library, I started reading every book that I got my hands on, every single one. I remembered everything as I read through it at speeds beyond that of normal humans. One section after another, and I was getting smarter.

Stopping at a book that had basic movement of tongues, I closed it as it would come in handy later. I was taking it, not like anyone would miss a book.

Later that night

'This suit is the best thing out there, for handling my high speed.' I thought as I had made a red suit to use for my super speed. I didn't want to burn any more clothes, so I went around the city collecting materials to use to make it. It was just a red suit, from top to bottom. As I ran across the city, I saw a car speeding away from some police cars. I ran up to it and hopped in, looking at the driver. Seeing him looking at me in shock, I punched him in the face over and over again until the car flipped.

Hopping out, I ran around the car, creating a vortex to ease its crash. Once it landed, I watched as the man crawled out, with the police stopping behind me. Hearing the doors open, I looked over my shoulder. "PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND GET ON THE GROUND NOW!?" One of them yelled, where I looked back at the man as he stood up.

"You're like me." He said, holding his arms out, confusing me. "You may be the fastest man alive, but its nothing to a god!" He said, where he held his hands out, with the wind kicking up and tossing everything away from him as a tornado formed.

Once I stopped getting pushed away, I ran around and collected the officers and anyone who was near to safety. Looking at the tornado as I ran, I knew I wouldn't be able to save everyone without stopping it first. 'I'm going to need to get to about seven hundred miles if I'm going to unravel it.' I thought as I ran for the tornado, where I started running in the other direction.

With each step, I got faster. With each breath, I was calmer. With each second, I became stronger than him. I could do this, because I am the fastest man alive! My family was hurt because of me, and I wasn't going to let it go beyond that. I caused the pain, and it was my time to remove it.

I felt the wind slowing down, where I was then pushed away once more as the storm collapsed on its self. Rolling on the ground, I stood there, shocked that I had actually did it. Hey! I heard, with me turning to face the man, seeing him limping around while aiming his gun at me. I didn't thing there was anyone else like me! He said, with me frowning as he said that. I rushed him, where I knocked the gun out of his hand and then elbowed him, taking him out completely. Seeing the cops coming closer, I ran, not wanting to be around for questions.

My name is one I wont revile to anyone other than friends and family, and I'm the fastest man alive. I wont be in one place anymore, for I will be everywhere at once. Everyone will need a hero, and I will be that hero.

Later that night

Walking into the house, I saw Raiha asleep on the stairs. Looking in the living room, I saw the light was on. Walking in, I saw my father sitting there, looking at me. "You were gone for a long time, want to tell me where you ran off to?" He asked, sounding mad.

I nodded, where I smiled at him. "I went to the park, after learning that I had caused so much trouble, I had to think. I don't want you worrying over me anymore, and I do know that you're my father, and its your job to worry." I said, using sign language, shocking him. "But I will always need you, but right now, you need to realize that I'm perfectly fine, I may not remember everything, but in time I will, and when I do, I will learn how to speak and I will have my first conversation with you." I said, with him smiling.

"Looks like you are getting smarter." He said, with me nodding. "I will have you go with your brother for tutoring, there you will learn your school stuff." He said, with me nodding as I understood. "You ok starting next week?" He asked, with me nodding. "Good, now I'm going to take you shopping tomorrow, so be ready." He said, with me nodding again. "Good, now go to bed, I'll be up in a minute." He said, with me smiling as I walked over to the stairs, picking Raiha up and taking her to her bed before going to my bed.
