1.1

The first thing I notice about my bed is that it's warm. Almost uncomfortably so. It can't be the cat….what happened to my pillows? Did they fall off the bed again? I swear, wait. I sit up and open my eyes. I'm….. in a desert? Oh! I'm dreaming? But why in the name of God am I in a desert? Well, it's hot, hotter than I ever remember feeling in a dream. What am I wearing? Professor Zoom's(Or is it just Zoom?) outfit? Am I a Speedster?... Oh hell yes.

Last time I had Super Speed in a dream I ended up slipping all over the place, like the world's worst slip n slide. Let's not do that now. So how do I shot web? I focus and the world turns blue. Um, okay. I step forward. Nothing seem's to have happened... I think maybe I moved a bit faster than usual? If I'm experiencing things at an accelerated perception, than that would mean that I shouldn't be seeing anything different…..Oh! I bend down and grab a handful of sand. Okay… I throw it in the air, and yep it's falling slower. It isn't like time is at a standstill.

While that's disappointing, I think that rules out Zolomon-Zoom. I think Zolomon could out right stop time, or at least close. Then again, at the speed of light, the difference shouldn't matter right? Am I in the Tv show, then? It'd make sense, the characters are almost laughably slower than in the comics. I mean, really? Mach 2 lets you travel back in time? Oh, the sand just hit the ground! Well, I'm slower than should be, so I'll chalk it up to being in a dream. I've never really been fast in a dream. I kick the sand, and watch it shoot off at an almost normal speed, which probably means it's like a blur to a regular , until I wake up, I might as well try to do something. Fight the Flash I guess. Wait, I'm still 17, so am I Kid Flash? Re-Inspection shows the outfit is lacking red pants, so...no then? I'm still too young. Ah, well, meeting the flash will be enough I guess. So, Which way to Central City?

….Crap

I decide to head off towards the setting sun. If I'm in America, I should reach a place that should give me directions soon enough. Then, I'll take the shortest route possible there. If I'm in the middle east or elsewhere, then, well, I'm boned. My perception speed has slowed, or I'm just moving faster, because after jogging for a bit with no obstacles I've started running at like 50 or so miles per hour. Reminds me of Sonic Unleashed, really. There were a few times I might of tripped over some rocks, but my perception sped up(or did I automatically slow down?) so I was back at normal speed(relatively).

I'm also slightly fitter. It's not like lighting gave me abs or anything,but I'm not stopping every five(relative) seconds to take a breath. In fact, it feels like I don't need air yet at all. While Batman can breathe in space, I don't think I can. Still, not going to complain. Let's just chalk it down to speedster bullcrap.

I've been running for what feels like 10 minutes, and ,wait road! I turn, and begin to my right. Not like it matters, anyway. Effort is rewarded, and a sign bears the letters 'to Chinle', 50 miles. I stop and breathe in. Okay. Now's as good a time to see how fast I am than ever. I take the runner pose and count to 3. And RUN! Gosh, I'm pushing myself faster than I have before, and it feels like I'm stretching, or scratching an itch. A grin works its way onto my face, and I reach civilization in what feels like ten relative seconds. That.. should have taken longer? I think that my perception is slowing down to accommodate the travel of and empty road. Thanks power!

I stop next to a guy on the road and let myself slow down. A gust of wind accompanies me and he jumps, startled. Well, time to see if my social fu has magically improved. It's just a dream though, so I'm not worried. "Hello!" The man has a startled expression on his face, and he's looking at me funny. He looks American, so he should have heard me...am I still too fast ? I notice the slight blue coloring of the world around us. Focus, the tint is gone…"Did I go to fast?". He jumps again, and quickly shakes his head before responding."Ah, no. Just not everyday we get a cape out here." Wait , I thought cape was a Worm term? I guess my mind is so used to it, I'm just thinking like that. I even unconsciously though of certain hero tech in comics as tinker tech. Oh, the blue's back. Pushing it away, I smile and say, "Well sorry, to bother you, but can you point me towards Central City? " His expression changes, this time confusion."No, I've never heard of a city named that." I frown. I am on Earth-2? "Keystone city?"

"No, never heard of it either."

I stop, but before I can respond he asks,

"Are you with the Protectorate?" Well shit. My dreamland is Worm.

Must be all them CYOAs and SI's floating around.
