I stood in front of what only could be described as some sort of demon, it was almost indescribable. It's skin was made completely out of rocks except for his eyes which glowed a hellish red. He wore blue armour over his torso and wrists, excluding his arms. He wore black pants which led down to blue boots. He had some sort of weird headgear on his head. His build was massive, it could only be compared to a a giant (except human sized). Finally, he wore a metal bet with a red, glowing line that went around it snd ending at a symbol that resembled Omega from the Greek alphabet.
"Prepare to meet your death, Superlad", the figure said in a deep, haunting voice. I tried to run but I found myself stuck to where I was. "Aaron run!", I heard a voice shout causing me to spin and see a group of teenagers. One wore an armoured suit with a blue bird on the chestplate. One had a latex suit with a large red lightening bolt going down it. One was an armoured man who was blue all over and one wore a black t-shirt with the coat of arms belonging to the house of L.
Before I could say anything I heard someone say ,"look out", causing me to face the monster as he raised his fists. As he swung, I screamed.
I woke up with a sudden jolt, causing me to swing a punch which landed onto a figure who just stood above me. As he swung to the floor, I jumped out of bed and ran to the door before looking back to see that the figure was a teenager with auburn hair and green eyes…and now a bleeding nose. "Oh my god!", I exclaimed, "I'm so sorry are you okay."
"Ah", he groaned, "don't worry it isn't that bad." He stood up covering his nose with his hands. "Aaron, is everything alright?", a voice asked from the door, "oh God, Wally!" I turned to see Barry in the doorway shocked. He ran to Wally and looked over his face, "come on you two, I need to bandage this up." "Uncle Barry I'm fine", Wally protested. "Yeah I think you've got a bleeding nose that disagrees with you", I said.
We went to the kitchen where Barry retrieved a first aid kit from one of the cupboards and began to tend to Wally. "What happened?", he asked. "It's my fault, I hit him after having a nightmare", I answered. "No it's my fault, I'm the one who tried to wake you up so I could find out who you were and why you're in my uncle's house.", Wally protested.
As Barry finished, it was now obvious to see that Wally has black eyes a bleeding nose and a bit of a busted jaw. It looked like he was in a fight. "I'm so so sorry", I said, "I didn't mean to." Wally raised a hand to silence me. "Nah it's fine", he replied, "gotta say though you pack quite a punch, who are you?" "Wally.", Barry answered, "this is Aaron, my ward." I waved hi to Wally which he returned.
"Nice to meet you",he turned to Barry, "Uncle Barry, why didn't you tell me this?" Barry chuckled, "Well it was supposed to be a surprise…surprise?" If we could sweat drop anime style, we'd be doing it right now. At that moment I just realised, "Hey Wally, what are you doing here anyway?" Wally slapped his face in realisation, "oh, now I remember, I came to get Uncle Barry to sort out a problem." "What kind of problem?", Barry asked. "A mega problem", he answered emphasising the word mega.
Barry's face grew concerned, "alright, Aaron I'm gonna have to delay that picnic, I hope you don't mind." "It's no problem", I replied, "besides if you get back quick enough we can have it in the afternoon." Barry nodded, "sounds like a plan. If Iris gets worried, tell her I went to solve an issue at work." "Kk", I replied, "see you later." "Bye Aaron", Barry opened the door and went out with Wally before closing it again.
When they left, I made a bowl of cereal and turned on the TV to see today's news. The current story talked about a bank robbery by Central City's resident ice villain: Captain Cold. "Wait", the newscaster said, "we have confirmation that the Flash and Kid Flash have arrived on the scene." The footage switched back to the bank where the speedster duo stood in a cowboy standoff with Cold.
"Come on Cold, you know this routine", Kid Flash ridiculed, "you commit crime, we stop you and you go to prison." Cold grew angry and began firing his cold gun at them, but it proved pointless as the two sped out of the way and quickly knocked him to the ground. "Ok Cold time to go back to prison", Flash said as Kid Flash appeared right by him.
When it seemed that it was over, it was then that Cold began to laugh, 'that is never a good sign' I thought. It was confirmed when a ray similar to Cold's hit the two heroes in the back, knocking them onto the ground. As the camera panned to the source, it was revealed to be Killer Frost. "I think not Flash", she said deeply causing my nerves to shudder.
As the two speedsters tried to get back up, they were hit again turning them into ice blocks. "Well well", Cold said, "looks like the mighty speedsters have been defeated." 'Oh no', I thought, 'they're gonna kill them. Ah I wish I could help them.' At that point, my mind drifted back to the book. "Perhaps I can", I whispered. I ran straight to my room, grabbed to the book and began to rush through it to see if what I could do. I landed on a page labelled 'abilities', if I have powers like Superman then maybe i can use them. As I went through it, it mentioned super speed. Perfect! It says that I have to concentrate to use my abilities, sounds a bit cliche.
I ran to the front door, grabbing my jacket and quickly began to try to access super speed, it wasn't working. 'Damn it, there must be something else', I thought, 'wait a minute.' The book mentioned a bit about a 'super leap'. I immediately went to try it and as I prepared myself I was thinking, 'please work please work please work'. As I jumped, I propelled through the air. I began to spin in the air, losing control. As I landed, well sort of crashed on the ground, I stood up thankful to be in one piece. "Right", I groaned, "let's try that again."
I leaped again and I was able to straighten myself out keeping my hands and legs together, I remembered one time reading that it helped with control, apparently it was right. I landed creating a huge crater like the first one. I might need practice on landings. As I looked around I noticed I was downtown, close to where the bank was. I quickly ran the rest of the way but as I reached the street, I saw the cameras and got worried about them seeing me. I decided to pull up the hood on my jacket and ran in behind the ice villains as it looked like they were about to strike down the heroes.
"Get away from them!", I shouted delivering a hard punch to Frost flying her into a car. I turned to Cold and quickly crouched avoiding his cold gun. Before he fired again, I slapped the gun out of his hands and punched him too. As I calmed down from what just happened, I whispered, "that was awesome."
I saw the ice blocks encasing the Flash and his sidekick and decided to lend a hand, I ran up to them and wondered how to get them out of there. "Hello", I heard a dark voice from behind. As I turned, I saw a man that was instantly recognisable as the Batman…AKA the scariest man anyone will ever meet. "Ahh", I yelped leaping from the area heading for home. As I reached the front door, I stopped for a few seconds because I was very out of breath. I walked in noticing that everything was just as it was before I left, I sat back down at the couch and continued eating my cereal recovering from the shock of what just happened - I saved the Flash, knocked out two villains and had a run in with the Batman himself.
As I breathed, something from the news still playing on the TV caught my attention, "…new hero?" I looked at the news where it showed footage of me outside the bank, then it showed footage of Batman thawing the Flash and Kid Flash out of the ice. I completely forgot to do that, not to worry I'll just…say sorry if I see them again. "Morning Aaron", Iris said as she came into the kitchen yawning, "where's Barry?" "He said he had to deal with an issue at work with Wally", I blurted being surprised when Iris walked in. "Are you alright?", she asked making her own bowl of cereal. "Yeah just…", I answered looking for an answer, "nervous at the news, apparently Frost and Cold nearly finished Flash and Kid Flash."
She sat down on the couch with me, watching the news, "well it's a good thing that guy came and helped." "Yeah", I replied, "good thing." From then, we just sat silently watching the news. This morning was crazy, but little did I know that that would only be the beginning.
