One end of the town to the other in just under 2 seconds. The town was 4.239 kilometres wide and it takes him 2 seconds exactly to run 4764.06 metres. Amazing. To call this stunt great is madness, it's the most astonishing thing ever, but for Velocity, this was ordinary. He could run at Mach 7 and create hurricane strength winds, and with the retractable claw in his hand he could cut a city in a half.

Today wasn't about that though. Today he'd reached the place where he would begin his plan.

He'd been observing his target for months, finding out anything and everything he could about him. He already knew a lot but a lot wasn't enough for this job. His opponent could change tactics in half of a quarter of a second, move at wind speeds and make a cheetah seen like a rock.

He'd been waiting for this his whole life. He was like this because of him. The DNA they shared made them different. Life may move fast, but for them, fast is like how fast the earth appears to spin to humans. He could never fit in with his impatient ways. Today was it, today was the day Velocity would strike down Pietro Maximoff.

Pietro knew someone was out to get him. He'd never actually seen anything but there was always a flash behind him. It was as if he was out to get himself. He'd even hired guards. A lot weren't happy but money is money. Luke Cage and Iron Fist weren't exactly glad to find out their big job was "babysitting," as they'd put it. Wanda hadn't even had to be asked, in fact, she'd known before him.

Pietro was surprised when he actually caught a glimpse of his follower. They moved fast, really fast. Pietro hadn't seen anyone move that fast since his fight with The Flash. It looked like the follower moved faster than himself, but that was impossible. He was the fastest man alive.

In ten minutes a car would stop outside the building, then he would move out. Velocity knew he'd only have one chance and that chance would be gone in half second. He knew that Pietro was onto him and that he would come out of that car running. So he'd have to move before Pietro got out.

Cage couldn't believe he was now a babysitter.

"How much money are we getting for this again?" He asked Iron Fist through the com system.

"Enough to make this worth it." He replied.

The duo had been told they'd be paid $50,000,000 to help Quicksilver, money courtesy of Magneto. "And why am I going in this car instead of Pietro?" Asked Cage.

"Because he thinks the follower will attack him here," said Iron Fist, "we've been through this a million times, so get over it already."

The car stopped outside a massive building and Cage began to get out.

Velocity got ready. Too early and Pietro would run, too late and he'd be in the the building. It saddened Velocity knowing that months of work would end in about two seconds. But he remembered that he would still see the pain and fright on Pietro's face.

Velocity saw the door open and took off. He hit his target in half a second and was two streets away at the end of it. It was at this point that he realized he had the wrong man.

He stopped and threw the man on the ground. "WHERE IS MAXIMOFF?" He yelled. The man just stood up and cracked his neck. "You should've looked before you ran, Foo." Cage said. Velocity roared in frustration and ran at Cage, claws extended. He attacked with a ferocity that Cage had never seen before, not even Wolverine attacked like this.

Cage blocked a few of his hits before he was knocked down by the sheer speed of Velocity's attack. He was punching him at a pace that had about 100 punches per second. Then came the claws. Cage knew he was okay because of his un breakable skin, but it still scared him that he could get in this many hits in so little time.

It was at this time that Cage blocked a hit and punched back with all his strength. The sudden loss of balance knocked Velocity back halfway down the street. Velocity got up and ran up building before jumping off the top and running in midair. Cage started to feel despair as the hurricane began to form.

Pietro watched the fight from the top off the building. "Look at him Wanda, he's creating a hurricane with speed, I thought only I could do that." Pietro worried. He turned around to his sister who was sitting on the ground, doing some kind of mystic meditation. "I'm getting stalked by an extreme assassin and you're meditating!" Said Pietro incredulously. Wanda began to stand up before she fell back down, Pietro caught her and asked what was wrong. "I've found the answer to your question, brother. The one who's been following you, he's not his own man Pietro, he's your clone."
