A/N: WOW, this story has been a long time coming, I've loved RWBY ever since episode 1 and have stuck with it right through to the now.

Thanks to my friend Lsknight for beta reading this chapter, I was unsure on how to write this out, but he's given me the advice I need to start it.

I recently (18/12/16) started rewriting this story, making changes to suit what I have planned in the future and improving my alright story to make it better.

Fastest Man in Any Universe

Prologue

I was running, I wasn't even sure for how long I had been, or how far. All that I knew was that I was running towards something, and I could feel myself going faster, there was no wind hitting my face, but images of different worlds flashed in front of me, each became a faster blur than the last. Knowledge that had only been theoretical on earth was becoming clearer and clearer. I saw the truth behind truths, I saw the secret behind the force, I saw worlds that were only supposed to be fictional… but here they were and I could feel them…

My name is Connor Allen, cousin of Barry Allen and Central City's second Speedster, I am one of the fastest men alive, but I guess now you could say I am the fastest man alive. My speed had gotten better than what I had before, if this had been how fast I was when I got my powers, Reverse Flash wouldn't have stood a chance.

However, after a lot of running, my suit started to get burnt slightly and my body, as well as my suit, started to shrink, I could feel my almost thirty years of age being scraped away, leaving me about ten years' old. I started to slow down as well, which eventually left me to fall out of, what felt like, the tunnel I was running in and start hurtling towards the ground.

I put my arms out beneath me and started spinning them around and around, using my powers to create mini tornados to slow my decent, which worked, however it still hurt when I hit a tree, however it didn't kill kill me, so that's a bonus.

"Ooowww" I groaned when I fell out of the tree I was in, which got the attention of some oddly familiar sisters.

Now, just to be clear, I am first and foremost… a nerd, my anime, manga and figurine collection would put any stereotypical scientist's library to shame, so imagine what it was like when I see two of my favourite characters of anything ever, right in front of me, with what looked like the creatures of Grimm around them. I quickly got to my feet, my mind putting the puzzle pieces together, I must have run so fast that I ended up in the RWBY universe… or it could just be a dream... that was probably more likely.

I looked at the two sisters and saw that they were about to be devoured but there was no sign of their drunk uncle. I tried to get to my feet and help them, however I found my leg was broken after the fall.

I looked back to the girls to find that the blonde had fallen over, dropping the nine year old and avoiding the Grimm, but they were coming around for another attack quickly. There had to be something I could do, I tried to create a whirlwind, however I just couldn't muster the energy to access my speed.

I knew I was running out of time to save the fictional characters so I felt around for anything I could use as a weapon, a twig from my fall, useless. I found what felt like a leaf, damn it, look harder. A rock! Perfect. I threw the stone at the closest Grimm that was attacking the girls, attracting more attention to myself.

"Oi, you lot, how about you pick on someone who can actually fight back" I yelled, leaning against the tree I had fallen next to. The Grimm looked at me for a second, before some of them split off to attack me.

I could feel my leg was almost healed and I had enough energy to be able to run again, thank god I'd decided not to go back with Barry or else I'd never make this. I stood up wobbly and ran over to the girls, grabbing them before running off at my normal speed to anywhere but here.

I fell over about two minutes later and was about to pass out when I heard the voice of some men around us, but unconsciousness took me before I could do anything.

Some time later I opened my eyes to see myself looking at the ceiling from the hospital bed in Star Labs. I looked around, spotting everyone was in the main room, guess it really was a dream. I stood up and went in there, seeing everyone standing around the left mannequin, the one that my suit was normally resting on. I looked down to see that I was wearing it. When I paid attention to it, I saw there were no burns and my size had gone back to normal.

I went over to the others and tried to tap Cisco on the shoulder, however my hand phased right through, I tried again with Barry, same thing. Okay so, was I a ghost or something, however that's when I noticed it, all of them, Barry, Cisco, Joe, Iris… Catelyn, they were all wearing funeral attire.

I looked over their shoulders, which was easy now that I wasn't 5"2' again, however that's when it hit me… they had seen me run into the singularity, but I hadn't come out… to them, I was dead.

"Hey kid, wake up" a gruff voice said, which forced me to open my eyes and look around, I was in a room made of wood, with a bed with possibly the softest mattress I had ever slept on in the centre against the wall. I looked to the speaker and saw Qrow Branwen sitting there, what the hell was going on.

"You're finally awake" another man said, this one had short blonde hair. Tai Yang, Ruby and Yang's father. "Yeah, how long was I out?" I asked, rubbing my eyes "about a day, you were exhausted when we found you, your... suit was in tatters, we had to take you out of it" he explained.

"Oh, thank you" I replied as he handed me a cup of coffee "so, who are you kid?" Qrow asked me, "my name's Connor, Connor Allen" I told him after sitting against the headboard and taking a sip from the hot drink.

"Ah delicious" I said, leaning back and placing the cup on the bedside, "Hey, err, Connor, why were you out there all alone? Where were your parents?" Tai asked me, I thought about my options for a second before telling them the truth, even though most people wouldn't. "You might want to get comfy, this might take a while"

So I explained everything, what happened to me and Barry when we were kids, how I got my powers, the fight against Reverse Flash, everything.

"So you come from another world, called earth, where you and your cousin are superheroes and you fight crime, and although you look ten, you're actually twenty-nine?" Qrow asked, scepticism dribbling from his voice. "Whoa, that's awesome" I heard a little girl yell, making me notice Yang at the door, with Ruby hiding behind her big sister.

"Crazy is the word I'd use to describe it" Qrow muttered, however I ignored him in favour of introducing myself to the girls. "Hi, I'm Connor" I told them "I'm Yang, this is my little sister Ruby" said Blonde told me. "H-Hi" the little girl greeted.

After that me and the girls started talking about different things, like what my favourite food was and what I did to pass the time in my world. Eventually we got to the topic of my superhero-ing and they asked me questions like how I got my powers, were they my semblance and a few more. "Hey Connor, did you have a superhero name?" Ruby asked me, having grown much more comfortable talking to me, "Yes, actually. On my world they called me Zoom, and I'm the fastest man in any universe"
