Hey, readers. UA here with a new story that I've been thinking of for a while. It's a crossover of marvel and DC because it uses elements and powers from both. Also the heroes and villains of those worlds are in this story as well. This takes place post Avengers vs X men by marvel terms and pre World's End for the DC Universe.
A young man of about 15 years old was standing on top of a building overlooking the skyline of Manhattan. Inside his left pocket, he felt a vibration and fished for it, the object in his hand being his phone ringing. On the screen was a number, accompanied by the logo of a vibrating phone. Sensing the urgency behind a notification like this, he immediately tapped the green button on the touchscreen and hold it up to his ear.
"Hello?" He asked "Derrick, where are you? Exams start in 30 minutes." Was the response that came from the scraggly voice of a teenager like him but more urgent. Sighing, the boy answered with blatant surety "I'll make it. 30 minutes is all I need." This frustrated the person on the other end. "Really?" He then hung up after that. He pulled up the hood on his jacket and then pulled up a mask that covered everything but his eyes that turned from brown to blue.
"Well, let's get started." He backed up and ran forward before he became a blur and ran down the side of the building. "Yeehoo!" He shouted before hitting ground floor and ran through the streets, easily weaving between the slow moving pedestrians in his eyes. He followed the sirens and saw that the police were pursuing a car with armed gunmen and money flying the back. "Well I wonder what the crime was here." He said sarcastically, before running up to the side of the escape car. "You really must've thought this through. Robbing a bank and having the entire NYPD chasing after you must've been a stroke of genius."
He said to the driver who swerved slightly, surprised by him. "Hey, it's that speed guy!" The passenger aimed their pistol at him and Derrick moved to the other side of the car. "Speed guy?! Really? I'm Split Second!" Electricity flowed through his hands and he shocked the car with 35 Volts, causing the car to be overloaded and the engine to short out. The car swerved off and smashed into a car on the side of the road, stopping it immediately and sending the front passenger through the window.
Split stopped and said "That's gonna hurt in the morning." He then blurred off to get to school quickly. Derrick arrived at his high school and blurred into the boy's bathroom near his class. He changed into regular school clothes and stuffed his other clothes into his bookbag. He then walked into his class. "You made it just in time, Mr. Roberts." The teacher said to him as he sat in his seat. "Sorry, teach."
Several hours later, he ran out of the school saying "Finally!" "You seem happy to get out of there." He turned and saw his best friend Chris Mason. "Chris. What's up?" "Nothing much. Thank whatever deity out there for summer break." The two fist bumped and Chris then said "The group's coming over later tonight. You coming too?" "Yeah, I will." Derrick said.
"See ya then Roberts." Chris then went on his way as he saw the car coming to pick him up. Derrick walked to a part of the school where no one could see him and blurred. He changed into Split Second before putting his bookbag somewhere safe. 'Well, let's go protect the city." He then blurred off to do his usual vigilante activities around the city.
He blurred through the streets before he saw police cars with their sirens on, speeding down the streets. He followed them to a bank nearby where they were covering the entrance. Just then, the doors came open and a man who looked like he was wearing mattresses as a suit. The man then used gauntlets to send shockwaves at the police which knocked them and cars back.
Split ran and moved the cops out the way so they wouldn't be squashed by cars before appearing before the man. "Wait, shockwaves. Costumes like a mattress. You're Shocker! Didn't Spiderman put in you prison a while ago? I see that you haven't learned how to get a better costume." "Another hero with a loud mouth?!" Shocker then sent a shockwave at him but he moved out the way and blurred toward him and punched him hard.
However, a barrier knocked him back almost off his feet. Shocker laughed and said "You aren't gonna touch me like that! My vibrational shield won't let anything grab me or touch me period." Split smirked and said "Let's see if your gauntlets have the same ability." He then blurred toward him and Shocker sent a shockwave that Split moved out the way of and then before Shocker could send another, he grabbed his gauntlets and channeled 20 mV's of electricity into them.
They then overloaded and exploded, knocking Shocker and Split back but the former got sent flying back to the ground."That must've been a shock for you, Shocker." The villain groaned at that. "Fuck you, that was funny." Split then blurred off to let the police deal with the mattress wearing villain. He then went to deal with petty crimes that he was able to find quickly.
He then started to think to himself as he did these actions. 'It's summer break now. Which means more time to fight crime in the city but it'll be harder to hide my activities from the others since they'll want to hang out more. I really should have thought of a plan for this sooner.' He was then knocked out of his thoughts when something zoomed past him and it started him, causing Split to run into a dumpster.
"Ow. Okay. What the hell was that?" He said to himself as he stood. He then went back on his way, blurring again as he wrapped up his rounds. He looked at his phone and saw that it was around 1:30 PM. 'Guess I better get home.'He thought to himself before heading home.
A few minutes later, he arrived at his house and entered. "Mom? You home?" He asked as he walked up the stairs to his room. "Didn't come home early. That's good I suppose." He then changed into his normal clothes after showering and hid his clothes at the bottom of a footlocker. He then blurred off to find food in his house and relax for a few hours.
And that's chapter 1. Review if you like. UA signing off.
