So Hechu FINALLY updates. Sorry about the like month long hiatus. That was unplanned... I just kinda lost my inspiration for a bit. I have to thank Velocity12 for randomly PMing me and giving me all sorts of advice that helped me get through this chapter as well as adding this story to her community Speedsters of Marvel and DC. You should check it out. It's kind of short... sorry about that. I feel like Wally may be a bit OOC in here since actually I kind feel like he would be more like "Becoming a Speedster was the bestest thing that ever happened to me!" instead of "Everything is so slow *complain complain*"
Thank you for all the wonderful reviews. I think that this chapter can make 50 REVIEWS in 4 chapters. Thank you all.
Anyone that randomly wants to chat or actually has a reason can contact me at .awesome at gmail . com
I have started re-editing this story so when it's done I'll be posting the edited version with longer chapters.
Thank you all!
When M'gann, Artemis, and Superboy had been tended to and lectured Wally called the team together for a talk.
"It's about time that we do something that involves practicing your powers instead of injuring ourselves," The glare was directed at M'gann, Connor, and Artemis. "So I propose a race. An easy run, just across North America and back."
Wally was startled by the whoop he received from Robin.
"Sorry." Robin muttered, looking abashed as his teammates stared at him. "It-was-getting-too-depressinginhere."
A grin alighted on the face of the unusually solemn ginger.
"Dude! You call this depressing? You live with Mr. Dark and Depressing yourself!"
"Who can hearyou." Robin said warningly.
"Oh..."
Wally snapped back into business mode.
"So this is how it's going to work. There will be two winners, whoever wins the race and whoever runs the fastest."
"Sonic booms?" The Flash's voice reminded.
"Thanks Uncle B, I thought I was forgetting something." Wally said, "This won't apply to you right now since you're not going to be dealing with civilians and this is a RACE but you should know this anyway. When you're in a populated area don't break the sound barrier as the sonic boom will break windows and be VERY unpleasant. You're gonna have to be mindful of that when we do control."
He received nods from his teammates.
"The race track should be prepared now so let's check it out."
Wally stood by the side of the paved road leading stretching out into the distance as far as the eye could see.
"Kid Mouth are we going to do this or are you going to stare at the road?" Artemis asked, scowling at Wally.
"Sorry about that… just wish that we could have something like this in the real world. That would be awesome."
Robin felt another twinge of guilt. While most kids dreamed of new video games and toys, Wally wished for somewhere that he could actually run. He wanted video games and stuff of course, but to see his friend staring at the road leading into the distance with such longing… it was hard for Robin to see his friend suffering and not being able to help.
He was jolted out of his thought by Wally's voice.
"This race is pretty simple. Stay on the road and run as fast as you can. Oh, and remember what I told you about deceleration. Always allow a couple extra miles to slow down or you will regret it. Kaldur will be handing out the sensors.
"Robin, here are the sensors required to monitor your speed." Kaldur said as he handed the devices to him. He nodded, still slightly distracted and slipped the small disks into his pockets. At least he still had those.
"And now…" Wally announced. "The Speedster race of the Century! On my mark. Ready… set… go!"
It felt like flying
Sorry for the kinda cliffy.
Review anyone?
Let's see... what are some of your weirdest nicknames?
Please tell me about any typoes!
