CrimsonStreak #3

"Most Wanted! Part One"

(KRANE Labs)

It was only a hour after Laura had arrived at KRANE Labs and Zach could not believe Evans had hired her. "So you hired her?" Zach asked as Evans nodded. "I believe everyone should be given a chance" he explained as Zach looked at Laura for a few seconds before looking back at Evans.

"Alright...I guess I can give her a chance..." Zach stated as Evans smirked. "Good boy. Now show her around KRANE Labs, I need to discuss an important matter with Charlotte and Krane" Evans explained as Zach nodded. "Okay. Laura follow me" he stated as Laura did so while folding her arms.

(The Police Station)

Meanwhile Officer Watson and his assistant Kenny Evanson were interrogating the man now known as Blizzard who still had the green handcuffs from earlier today. "Okay Blizzard is it? I want some answers...like are you working for the CrimsonStreak?" Officer Watson asked as Blizzard glared at him. "Look I don't have time for stupid questions but I can assure I'm not working with that vigilante. Besides he's blocked out my powers" Blizzard exclaimed motioning to the cuffs.

"If he's not working with the Streak then hes obviously a hero Officer. I mean why would he battle Jack Frost over here" Kenny exclaimed pointing to Blizzard who simply narrowed his eyes. "Not funny kid..." he growled. "Anyway...were still going to need some answers...one way...or another" Watson exclaimed as Blizzard glared at him.

(KRANE Labs)

Zach was showing Laura around the laboratory. "So across the hall is the experiements that Evans and Krane have worked together but they've said its off limits. So no touchy-touchy" Zach stated as Laura simply nodded. "I'm pretty sure I know what off limits is Zach. Besides anything else you wanna show me?" Laura asked as Zach thought for a minute.

"Well...what was your reason to joining KRANE Labs? My reason is because I idol Robert Evans for his work on special humans. He's always believed that we can evolve and help the world in our own special way" Zach exclaimed as Laura raised an eyebrow. "Really?" she asked as Zach nodded his head. "Yes really, though getting off topic...your reason?" Zach asked. "Well...my dad helped me get this job as he knew Evans and I guess I've always been interested in science. Though will you give me the chance to prove it?" Laura asked as Zach folded his arms.

"I guess everyone deserves a chance. Welcome aboard" Zach said offering his hand to Laura who smiled and returned it. "It's great to be here" she stated as Zach smiled before making a motion to follow him which she did. "Something is off about Zach...he seems familiar" Laura thought.

As the two young adults made there way to the group they noticed Krane smirking at them. "Well look who arrived the lovebirds" he stated as Zach narrowed his eyes at him with Laura simply blinking in reply. If Laura wasn't there, Zach would of used his super-speed to give Krane a massive wedgie. "Hey Laura want to see a gallery of our most famous work?" Charlotte asked as Laura nodded. "Sure I was hoping to see some interesting work around KRANE Labs" she exclaimed following Charlotte. The second the two girls exited Krane attempted to make a break for it but Zach sped in front of Krane.

"Lovebirds eh?" Zach asked as as he tackled Krane into a fight cloud. As Evans watched the two practically claw at each other's face he coughed signaling the two to stop which they did. Krane had Zach in a headlock while Zach had given Krane a wedgie before the two faced Evans. "Well if you two are done...Zach...I recently made a discovery of your powers.." Evans exclaimed as Zach raised an eyebrow at him.

"What did you find?" he asked as Evans pulled out his IPad. "Well your powers are connected to something called the Speed Force. Basically there's more to your powers then just running really fast. Theoretically...you can time travel" Evans exclaimed as Zach's jaw hung open in shock with Krane blinking. "Are you serious? So if I was to run at some type of speed...I could time travel?" he asked as Evans nodded. "Yes but remember it's a theory. Not a fact" Evans stated as Zach nodded but couldn't contain his excitement.

"Anything else?" Zach asked as Evans nodded. "Well there's one where you can apparently vibrate your vocal cords so you can disguise your voice" he stated as Zach thought for a minute. "Well that could come in handy for future reasons" Zach stated as Krane nodded.

"Well...this next one can-" Evans stopped when he noticed a red dot appear on his computer screen signaling trouble. "Looks like your help is needed Zach..." Krane stated as Zach nodded. Zach proceeded to look around to see if Charlotte had taken Laura far away from their side as he then sped off. "So when do you think we can tell Laura, Zach's secret?" Krane asked as Evans rubbed his hands. "In time...Victor..we need patience first" Evans stated as Krane folded his arms and nodded.

(Chicago Library)

CrimsonStreak/Streak was speeding down town and arrived at the Library which was in perfect shape as if no villain had been there. "Um...Evans...there's no one here.." he exclaimed. "Don't let your guard down Zach...QUICK BEHIND YOU!" Evans stated through his ear piece as quickly Streak rolled out the way evading a blast of wind.

"Whoa...what the-?" Streak turned around to face a man in green armor as his head slightly resembled that of a torpedo. (Look up Avengers: EMH to see how Whirlwind looks like)

"Who are you?" Streak asked as the figure smirked. "Names Whirlwind, CrimsonStreak and I'm here to get payback on you for locking up my partner Blizzard in jail. Now I think it's time to prepay the favor" Whirlwind smirked as Streak picked himself up. "Okay first, was Whirlwind really the best you could come up with? I mean there's Green Torpedo or better yet...Green Wind. And second you know Jack Frost?" Streak asked as Whirlwind grit his teeth in anger.

"Oh that's it...your now dead kid..." Whirlwind stated as Streak was about to make a remark when Whirlwind landed a hard right hand knocking him through a window and into the Library. "Oh this is going to be fun.." he exclaimed as he walked in.

(KRANE Labs)

Evans simply rubbed his forehead in annoyance as Krane raised an eyebrow at his best friend/partner. "Zach screwed up?" Krane asked as Evans nodded. "Apparently this man is calling himself Whirlwind and he's a ally of Blizzard, the villain Zach put in jail.." Evans exclaimed as Krane folded his arms.

Soon Charlotte and Laura entered the room as Laura was quick to notice Zach's absence from the room. "Where's Zach?" she asked as Krane simply whistled. "Well Zach went back home to pick up something important.." Evans lied as Laura narrowed her eyes at Evans statement. "You sure? I don't remember him saying anything of importance" Laura folded her arms. Charlotte looked at Krane who nodded in agreement which was that if they didn't act soon Laura could possibly figure out Zach's secret.

Meanwhile Whirlwind was walking around the Library trying to find where CrimsonStreak was hiding. "You won't hide forever..." he stated as Streak prayed he wouldn't find him. Suddenly a gust of wind knocked over the bookshelf Streak hid behind but he managed to quickly evade it. "Found you..." Whirlwind stated as he began to rotate his body at high speed forming a small tornado as a gust of wind blew Streak back into a wall. "Heh this is going to be easier than I thought. I wonder how you'll look split in half Mr. Speedster" Whirlwind exclaimed as he readied his Saw Blades which began to activate.

(Next Issue: It seems as if the newest member at KRANE Labs may be suspicious of Zach's disappearance, could this mean she knows of Zach's secret powers of sorts? Meanwhile Officer Watson and Kenny Evanson hope to get answers from Blizzard but notice his partner in crimes battle with CrimsonStreak. Now Zach must deal with Blizzard's partner who has him on the ropes and Laura Kinney who may or may not have suspicions of him already. All this and more in CrimsonStreak #4: Most Wanted! Part Two)
