A.C.: So, I was thinking about starting a forum for OC stuff, but I'm not sure as of yet. I think it'd be cool to see other OC ideas, but a forum for OCs is kinda redundant. I'd join other forums, but they all seem kinda dead. Ah, screw it. I'll make a forum and it'll just be its own thing. It'll be an open RPC so you can post pretty much whatever and develop you OC. Forum name: DC OCs(if that name's not taken) Check it out! =D

High Velocity

How far would you go to change things? How much would you give up for your cause? How long would you fight? Would you hold onto what you have… or would you just throw it all away? This is the story of a boy who never wanted to be a hero, a boy who was never meant to be a hero. This… is the legend of Velocity.

It was a sunny day in Seattle, Washington and yet a few members of the Justice League looked over the city from the top of a skyscraper. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Hal Jordan, one of the current Green Lanterns of Earth, all scanned the city.

"The chronometer says the activity is within a mile wide radius of where we are." Superman said as he looked from a gridded screen to the streets. On the screen there was a large pulsating spot with high readings of time distortion.

"You don't think it's off or something, do you, Clark?" asked Wonder Woman.

"I doubt it. Bruce had the best minds in the world working on this, right?" Hal said.

"Right. I think it's just a matter of-" Clark started before a loud boom noise burst through the city. "Time…" he finished. Only a few blocks away, a black and gray streak shot through the city, leaving yellow lightning in its trail. The streak angled up a skyscraper before halting at the top. A blurred figure stood with lightning bolts sparking around its body.

"You! Stay where you are!" called Wonder Woman. The figure looked up at her and then shot away. Immediately, the three heroes pursued the streak as it shot through the city. "Superman, you go around the right and I'll go left! Lantern, you stay back!" she said. The two men nodded. Superman went around the building to his right as Wonder Woman went around the building to her left. Once they could, they curved around toward each other again and closed in on the figure. To really trap it, Green Lantern made a wall construct in front of the streak since no cars were close enough for any danger. With Wonder Woman, Superman, and Green Lantern surrounding the time traveller, the figure thought quickly. It began to move quickly and seemingly duplicated before running toward Wonder Woman. Superman and Green Lantern flew toward her for backup, but even then the streak didn't stop. Wonder Woman swung at the figure on the right since that would be the one that was running from them and created its duplicate, but her fist phased through her target and it disappeared. Hal Jordan created another construct and the figure stopped before facing the three members of the Justice League again. Superman and Green Lantern floated above the ground while Wonder Woman shot past the figure. She chopped the back of its neck and immediately, the figure lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Well, that's unexpected." Superman said as he looked down at the figure.

"Kinda gave us a run, huh? No pun intended." Green Lantern said.

"H-He's just a boy." Wonder Woman stated. They were all looking at an unconscious sixteen year old boy with messy, brown hair. He wore a tattered, black, military jacket without a hood over a simple white shirt with gray, ripped, and tattered pants, dirty, black shoes, as well as black fingerless gloves. There was a yellow lightning bolt with another bolt ringing around it on the back of his jacket.

The boy awoke later, tied to a chair in a dark room, slightly dazed from being knocked unconscious. He had green eyes but his hair covered his right eye as he looked around with his left. Once he realized he'd been captured, he immediately began to try to free himself. After a few attempts, he relaxed and tried to think of a way to escape. Moments later, Wonder Woman entered the room. The two of them looked at each other eye to eye.

"Who are you?" she asked. The boy remained silent. "Why are you here?" she questioned. He remained silent. "Where did you come from?" she asked, slightly annoyed with him refusing to answer. He remained silent still, so Wonder Woman decided to use force. She cracked her knuckles as she approached him. "I owe you for tricking me earlier, so let's see if you're more talkative after this." she stated. Then, she delivered a strong blow to his stomach. His eyes widened in pain as he tried to scream reflexively, but Wonder Woman knocked the wind out of him. As the boy hunched over in pain, Wonder Woman grabbed him by his hair and lifted his head up. "I'll give you one last chance to talk of your own will." Wonder Woman offered. The boy closed his eyes and remained silent. Wanting her answers immediately, Wonder Woman tied her Lasso of Truth around his neck and squeezed it slightly. The boy's eyes became shut tight as he resisted the Lasso's power. 'He's resisting it?! That's impossible!' she thought. She pulled harder and broke past the boy's resistance.

"My name is Reece Walker. I'm from the year 2046 and I came back to the past to kill Darkseid." he revealed. Wonder Woman's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Reece. Then, she wanted more answers.

"Why do you want to kill Darkseid?" she asked.

"In my time, Darkseid is immortal and he's conquered the Earth and beyond. Please, stop! There's no telling how this might effect time!" Reece replied. Wonder Woman pulled harder, forcing him to slightly choke.

"Why did you run from us?" Wonder Woman questioned as she loosened the rope to where she had it when Reece began to talk. Reece began to resist the Lasso again, which aggravated Wonder Woman even more. She pulled harder again and forced him to talk once more.

"I didn't want anybody else to get hurt!" he answered. After hearing her honest answer, Wonder Woman removed her Lasso, seeing that the boy was there with only positive intentions. A moment later, Superman, Green Lantern, Batman, and Flash, currently Barry Allen, entered the room. Reece looked at them all in admiration, awe, and disbelief with his eyes wide.

"How did Darkseid gain immortality?" Superman immediately asked.

"Hell if I know. All I know is I have to stop him." Reece answered.

"We can handle that. We're heroes after all." Flash said simply and hopefully.

"Heroes don't exist where I come from… I learned that the hard way. I won't let anybody else die for my cause." the boy replied. They all looked at him, only partially grasping what he meant. Reece decided that he had to explain his time. "My time is the definition of Hell. Darkseid ravaged the Earth and left death behind him. All of the heroes, all of the villains, every single last one of them is dead. Anybody who defies him is killed. My father and my mother were both killed when I was young so I never really got to know them. Don't ask how I survived because I'm not sure myself. I don't plan on letting my world become a reality and I will prevent it at all costs." Reece explained. Many of the heroes understood Reece's backstory and empathized with him. Clark, Barry, and Bruce had all lost a parent or both of their parents so they understood Reece's desire fully and what he desired for.

"Well, you can always join the Justice League and we can help you. There are other ways to stop Darkseid without killing him." Superman offered.

"The word "kill" doesn't even begin to grasp what I'm gonna do to him." Reece said coldly as his hair covered his eyes. All of the heroes could feel the temperature change in the room, seemingly changing with Reece's hatred. "A time without heroes can't produce a hero. I would join your team, but your code and mine are very, very different." he added. Deciding that they had to discuss what to do with Reece, the members of the Justice League all stepped out of the room. Reece waited patiently until they returned.

"We've come to the conclusion that you'll be staying with one of us. Wonder Woman has offered that you stay with her in Seattle." Superman said. Reece's eyes widened with fear as he gulped.

"A-Anybody else?" he asked shakily. Wonder Woman smiled as she gripped Reece's shoulder, making cracking noises as she squeezed.

"Aw, I won't hurt you… too badly." she said, scaring Reece. The team knew she was messing with him, but only because she liked him for his unique sense of justice. "Come on, let's go home." she said.

"No, wait-" Reece started before Wonder Woman flew away with him still tied in his chair. The members watched with smiles, all of them except for Batman. As they flew away, Reece looked at the lush island he was moving away from in disbelief. It had beautiful blue waters and amazing green forests. Then, he noticed the women on the island below. He blushed immediately, but then, they were back in Seattle. She zoomed into an alley, changed in a whirlwind and untied Reece. He looked at her in amazement as she stood in front of him wearing a white blouse, a necklace, a black skirt and purple heels.

"Ready to see your new home?" she asked. Reece nodded in eager excitement. The two of them walked a few blocks away and were in a neighborhood with nice houses all around. Reece looked around in disbelief and slight fear as he looked around Diana went to the house off to their left and unlocked the door. She entered the house and turned to see Reece standing at the doorstep, his hands shaking as he looked at the house and at the neighborhood. "What's wrong? There's nothing to be afraid of." Diana said with a soft smile. Reece looked at her as she extended her hand to him. His hand shook as he reached out and grabbed her hand. Then, she gently pulled him into the house and he looked around the building completely lost.

"I-It's all so new. I never had a house." Reece said, revealing a little more about himself. Diana put her arm around Reece's shoulder. Then, she gave him a tour of the house and showed him his room, her room, and the other rooms. Once they got back to the Living Room, Reece had a big question. He slowed behind Diana, causing her to turn and face him. "If you live in Demyscria… Themacara…. Uh…" he tried.

"Themyscira." she helped.

"Yeah, that. Then why do you have a house on Earth?" Reece asked.

"Batman bought this as a home away from home for me. I just come here sometimes after a long day." she answered as she sat on the couch. 'Must be nice to be rich…' Reece thought. Diana patted the couch cushion next to her, signalling Reece to sit with her. He sat down next to her and she turned on the TV for them to watch together. Reece watched in complete interest which made Diana laugh a little. "Why are you so amazed by everything?" she asked.

"Huh? I'm not amazed. I'm just happy to see things are so much better here. It makes me want to keep things this way forever." Reece answered. Diana smiled a little more, beginning to like Reece even more. As it grew late, they went to bed. Reece gazed above him with a happy smile and excited, wide eyes. 'Mom, Dad, I made it. I can change everything now. I hope you guys are okay with how things turn out.' he thought. Then, he closed his eyes before turning onto his right side and going to sleep.
