Silver Speed

Prologue

I do not own the Flash or Quicksilver

Marvel and D. C. Comics do.

Positive reviews are welcome.

Authors note: What if when Pietro Maximoff died in Avengers 2 Age of Ultron, the visual representation of the Speed Force in the image of Nora Allen gave him another chance to live with the condition that he aid Barry Allen against the being known as Zoom. Accepting the task given to him, his powers will be boosted to the same capabilities as Barry's, empowered by the Speed Force itself in the same manner as which Barry's powers are derived.

This will be a short prologue to test and see if you like this opening, with the hope of more chapters for this story, depending on your reviews.

Prologue

With a gasp, he awoke. His eyes looking upward as if searching for something. Moving his head to the side, he noticed he was no longer on the rising Island of Sokovia. Instead, he was within a room. 'A Living Room' he corrected himself. The object of which he lay upon was soft and comfortable.

Pulling himself into a sitting position, he saw that the 'Living Room' had a cozy feeling to it. It was dark, wooden. The floorboards was testament to that. The ceiling white, and the rest of the house ranged from Stucco to hard wood paneling. He gazed around the room for a moment before he suddenly remembered how he died. Searching himself and not seeing any open wounds in his costume, courtesy of Tony Stark, he lifted the multicolored blue and purple with white lines long sleeved shirt and found to his amazement, no wounds on his chest and or abs period. Not even a scar or scratch.

"You won't find any scars from the battle, Mr. Maximoff." said a feminine voice.

Pietro snapped his eyes upward as he let his shirt down slowly.

Standing before him, was a woman who could easily pass herself off as an older version of his sister, Wanda. She wore loose yellow blouse over a white shirt and blue pants. Her hair, long and as red as Wanda with the same green eyes.

"Wh-Who are you?" he demanded in a serious, non-playful tone.

"The question is not who am I, but what am I, Mr. Maximoff!" she replied, catching him off guard with the way she answered him.

"Are? You mean...you're not human?"

"No." she smiled, clasping her hands before, "I am not. But what you see before you, is the visual representation of someone very important to another speedster like yourself. But you may call me, Nora."

"Pietro."

"Please, sit. Let me explain." she said as she gestured to the recliner he had just risen from. As he sat back down, she did the same, on his right. "You have to understand, you did die in the world in which you existed. There was zero chance on your survival from the damage sustained by the attack from Ultron when he shot at the archer, and you using your body to protect him and the boy in his arms. You died, but died a true hero, Pietro."

"My sister...?" he tried, only for her to rest a hand on his right hand.

"She and your friends defeated Ultron. She felt you die, defending the boy and Barton, at the cost of your own life. She and the entity known as Vision, finished off the creature that killed you. I saw a way to give you a second chance, but only if you are willing. The choice is yours. Know this, the world you died on, you can never return to. You can move on to your Eternal Rest, or you can live again and aid another speedster like yourself, empowered by me."

"And,...what are you?" he asked as he rose his head after looking down and thinking on the fact he could never return to his old world.

Looking into his eyes, she answered, "I am the Speed Force. I am the thing of which all true Speedsters derive their power. A...Speed Heaven,...if you will." she said as she contemplated how to word it. "Many beings have studied me, but only a handful have ever really felt me and the power I give them. In this form, I have taken the image of a woman named Nora Allen, the mother of the most powerful Speedster who has ever lived, and the most wisest, courageous, and most selfless, which is why I am glad I empowered him when I did."

Looking at her quizzically with a raised eye, she laughed softly and explained in more detail.

"His name is Barry Allen, but when in costume, he is known as the Flash. And as he's known for saying, he is the fastest man alive. But there are those who have perverted my gift, my power, for their own nefarious purposes. Such is the case of a Speedster from another Dimension who calls himself Zoom. He's a speedster who has found a way to travel to other dimensions and steal the power I have given others like Barry in order to become faster and unbeatable. But only because he is dying. In stealing the speed from others, he not only kills them, he also destroys the lives of others in every reality he has crossed into, while extending his own life for a moment longer until a cure can be found for his problem."

"And you want me to stop him."

"No. I want you to help Barry in stopping Zoom, together. As we speak, Zoom has taken the gift I have given Barry, or so he thinks. Barry will be here soon and will discover things about himself here, that he never knew. And when he's ready to return to reality in his dimension, he will become stronger and faster. But his city, his family and friends, and the world that Zoom has enslaved, will need a Speedster to save and defend it until Barry is ready to continue on with his destiny. He will need a friend, and a brother."

Thinking on this and understanding that if he makes a decision, there would be no going back. Looking to this woman or entity in human form, asking for help, he makes the only choice he could, the only choice that matters, as there apparently are lives at stake in this new world, and he will have the power to do something about the new threat and aid the other champion of the Speed Force, "I'll do it."

"Thank you, Pietro." As she rises to her feet, he does the same as he then feels her hand that she lays upon his chest. He is then bombarded with even greater power than he has ever felt as well as the knowledge of the power that he is only now beginning to understand. Faster speed with lightning trailing behind him, moving through solid objects, the ability to throw Speed force lightning, and more, information of what he will soon be able to accomplish goes faster through his mind that it takes him moments to comprehend what he is being shown. When she retracts her hand, she looks upon him with a smile, "You are ready. Good luck, Pietro Maximoff, or as your own enemies will come to know you as, Quicksilver."

Suddenly, in the next room over, a torrent of energy in the form of a mighty wind tunnel manifests with a light blue color scheme, crackling with Speed Force lightning and twirling balls of light. His blond almost silver hair blows with the direction of the Speed Forces current as he walks forward and looks upon the nexus point of the Speed Force that is his exit into the new world that he will soon call home. He then feels something being put into his hand as he looks down as he sees and feels Nora grasping and placing something in his left hand. When he looks into her eyes, she says, "To complete the look."

Opening his hand, he sees a set of goggles. Looking her in the eyes once more, he slips them on and smiles. With a nod, he turns back to the Nexus Point, he walks forward until he is fully submerged within the torrential energy. With a flash of lightning, he is gone.

The entity, in the form of Nora Allen merely looks on with an encouraging expression with hope in her eyes, "Run, Pietro, run."

Well, like it, love it, hate it. Let me know. I know that when it comes to Marvels speedsters like Quicksilver and others, they are very slow compared to the Speedsters of D. C. Comics. This idea came upon me late last night as I greatly respected the Quicksilver of Marvels Avengers 2 Age of Ultron and since I watched Henry Allen die in this weeks episode of the Flash, I though it would be cool if the Speed Force aided Barry in a way he never saw coming. So, give me a review and let me know what you think. Until next time.
