Here's another update be sure to enjoy and review.
Fastest Man Alive
Monday, 09:48am, Sheen Estevez was standing on a rooftop, watching the bank across the street through a pair of binoculars, waiting for his moment. When the bank vault opened he raced into the building with near invisible speed, within a second he was back on the rooftop holding a sack full of money, with a smug grin on his face he super sped off.
Sheen supersped to the entrance of an old condemned building.
"I got your money, Zupco!" he screamed as he walked in.
A tall muscular bald man stepped out from the shadows with a pack of thugs.
"I see, Mr Estevez. Take the bag." he ordered.
One of the thugs grabbed the bag from Sheen and gave it to Zupco.
He counted the money inside, "Your still short, Estevez."
"Don't worry I'll get the rest."
"I know you will because if you don't...Well I don't have to tell you what I'll do."
Sheen agreed and left the building.
At 13:45pm, Cindy and her Mom were walking down a street.
"This is nice, we don't get to do this anymore." Susan commented.
"Ya, I've just been so busy with school and working with Jimmy and the team." Cindy replied.
"Oh, him." Susan replied crassly.
"He's actually really cool Mom, he didn't mean for any of this to happen." Cindy said in Jimmy's defense.
"But it still did." Susan argued.
The two were met with a long awkward silence, until Cindy saw a ice cream truck, "You know what we need, icecream."
"I think your right. I'll go get us some." Susan replied.
Susan walked over to the truck.
When she walked back to Cindy, a driver lost control of his car, it turned over and headed straight for her.
Using her superspeed Cindy raced towards her mother.
In a flash, a blue blur passed her, moved her mother out of the way and ran off.
Cindy stopped when she reached her mother.
"Thanks baby, I would've been a goner if it weren't for you."
"It wasn't me." Cindy replied shocked.
Susan looked around in a panic.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt!?"
"No, my purse is missing.
At Jimmy's Lab, Carl and Libby were having a sparring match.
"Jimmy are you sure we have to do this?" Carl asked.
"Definently, you guys need more combat experience, remember no powers." Jimmy answered.
Carl timidly lunged at Libby, she caught his arm and flipped him over.
"Oww!"
"You okay, bro?" asked Jimmy.
"The only thing hurt is my pride."
"You wanna go again?" Libby asked as she helped Carl up.
"No." he replied.
Cindy walked into the lab in a huff.
"Oh look who decided to grace us with her presents."
"Not now, Nerdtron. My mom was in an accident."
"Oh no! Was she hurt!?" Carl asked.
"No, she's fine. She was saved by someone who could move as fast as me."
"Another mutant!?" Carl asked.
"Ya, and whoever it was stole my mom's purse." Cindy replied.
"Wait, you couldn't see them? I thought the world moved in slow motion for you." Jimmy commented.
"Compared to them, it felt like I was standing still." Cindy answered.
"Oh, I've got to see this." Jimmy said heading to his computer, "A little hack in traffic cams and...Here we go."
Jimmy showed the team the video all they could see was the car turning over and a couple of blurs.
"I didn't see anything." Libby commented.
"Let's watch it again in super, super, super slow motion."
The team watched the video again this time spotting Sheen.
"There he is!" Cindy commented, "Who is he?"
"Looks kind of familiar." Libby commented.
"Let facial recognition answer that." Jimmy replied typing on his computer. "Sheen Estevez." he said a bit shocked.
"Do you know where he is?" Cindy asked.
"He's been dark for the last couple of months, but if he stole your mom's credit card then maybe...got it." Jimmy replied while searching on his computer.
"What?" Cindy asked.
"He's at the Four Masters hotel." Jimmy answered.
"Okay, let's get this guy." Cindy shouted.
"Are we arresting him or asking him to join?" Carl asked.
Jimmy looked at Cindy expecting an answer.
"I guess we'll find out when we meet him. Suit up." she ordered.
Cindy, Libby and Carl went to change into their alter-egos.
At the Four Masters hotel Sheen was enjoying a fancy gourmet meal in a hotel robe.
"Haaa...This is the life." he sighed in relaxation.
Cindy, Libby and Carl busted into the room as their alter-egos.
"Sheen Estevez, you need to come with us." Cindy ordered.
Ya, I don't think so." Sheen said using his superspeed to change into his street clothes, "I'll be gone before you guys can even blink."
"I don't know. I can blink pretty fast." Cindy replied demonstrating her own super speed.
"Oh...Let's see if you can keep up blondey." Sheen challenged as he ran out the room, Cindy immediately followed him.
They raced around the city, Cindy drew closer and closer to him with each step, she thought she was going to catch him until Sheen turned his head, gave her the most cocky smile ever and accelerated himself to the point where she couldn't even keep up.
To tired to carry on Cindy stopped and panted, "Never thought I would ever need to catch my breath again."
She raced back to Libby and Carl, "Did you catch him?" asked Libby.
"No, he was to fast." Cindy answered.
"What now?" asked Carl.
"I don't know." Cindy answered.
The team went back to Jimmy's lab.
When they walked in Cindy said, "Nerdtron we lost him. Do you have any other way to track him?"
"I don't think that's going to be a problem." Jimmy answered as the team walked in seeing him with Sheen.
"You!" Cindy screamed charging at Sheen with her speed.
"Cindy wait!" Jimmy screamed trying to stop her.
Sheen dodged her attack easily with his speed, She missed going straight through a wall. She quickly rebounded attacking Sheen with multiple punches. Sheen dodged them as well. On her final punch Sheen grabbed her arm, spun her her around in a vortex and threw her through the roof and out the lab.
Carl began to fire multiple sonic blasts at Sheen. Sheen dodged them by running along the the walls and roof of the lab.
"You done?" Sheen asked when Carl stopped.
Before Carl could respond, Sheen ran up to him grabbed his arms and spun him around like a top.
Too dizzy to carry on Carl passed out. Libby snuck around Sheen invisible holding a inhibitor collar.
Sensing something was wrong Sheen rotated his arms at high speeds creating a powerful wind blast that sent Libby flying knocking her down.
Cindy raced back into the lab, Sheen charged at her with a speed tackle, like a ball to wall he bounced off of her upon impact landing on the floor.
She quickly grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up.
"Jeez! What are you made of blondey!?" Sheen groaned.
"Sugar, spice and everything nice." she replied in stern voice.
"I highly doubt that."
Before Cindy could deliver the final blow, Jimmy screamed, "That's enough! Goddard initiate Gentleman's Dreadnought."
Goddard activated a program that activated various power dampeners in the room.
With her strength gone Cindy dropped Sheen like a stone.
"What happened to my powers?" Cindy asked.
"A little something I whipped after that Hypno situation. Every corner of this lab has a power dampener, just in case someone gets mind controlled again. Now enough destruction, everyone calm down and talk."
"Okay fine." Cindy agreed.
She went to go check on her teammates.
"You two okay?"
"Ya." Libby answered getting up.
"I think I'm gonna puke." Carl answered getting up.
"Sorry about that." Sheen said as he went to help Carl up.
"What is he even doing here!?" Libby asked.
"Okay, full disclosure, Sheen and I go way back he came here a few minutes ago asking for my help."
"Why didn't you tell us you knew him!?" Cindy asked.
"That's not important right now. What is, is what did you want Sheen."
Sheen gave a massive sigh, "A few years ago my Dad got money from a loan shark, Hannibal Zupco. This guy was bad news, he threatened my Dad's life and things looked bad for him until I offered him my skills"
"What makes you so great?" Libby asked.
"Well like my orange friend over their, I'm also a genius."
"You're joking?" Cindy commented.
"No he's a genius." Jimmy replied, "He just suppressed it with cartoons, videogames and comics."
"Thanks for that Jimmy." Sheen replied sarcastically, "But there was still enough of a genius in here to be useful as a thief. For the last few years I've been pulling jobs for Zupco, slowly paying off my dad's debt, if I pull one more it will be over."
"Then why are you here?" Libby asked.
"I've pulled so many jobs security all over the city is tight."
"Why not use your superspeed? It seems like it'd be useful for someone like you." Cindy asked.
"I have for the last couple jobs, but I don't want to bring to much attention to myself. Something tells me if Zupco found out what I can do, he would never let me go."
"So that's why your here. You want Jimmy to help you on your next job." Libby commented.
"That was the idea." Sheen replied.
"Sheen I'm not going to do that." Jimmy said sitting down.
"Come on Jimmy! Just one job. No one gets hurt."
"Except the people you steal from." Libby added.
"Look I try to steal from people who won't be financially hurt."
"Then what? You pretend like nothing ever happened?" Cindy asked.
"Ya, I will."
"Figures." Libby said to out loud.
"What would you have me do, ignore Zupco and protect my family for the rest of my life." Sheen said agitated.
"With your power, that wouldn't be to hard." Carl commented having recovered.
"Zupco could attack my family at any time! I may be fast but I can't be everywhere at once!" Sheen shouted.
The group remained quiet.
"Look this was a mistake. I'm out of here. If your not going to help me then I'll have to do this the hard way."
"Sheen wait. Do you honestly think this will end once you give Zupco all that money?" Jimmy asked.
"I have to try." Sheen answered in a serious tone.
Sheen immediately supersped out of the lab.
"What are we going to do Jimmy?" Carl asked.
Jimmy stayed quiet thinking of a solution.
Sheen raced around the city looking for a place to steal from, he eventually ended up on a rooftop.
"What will you do Sheen?" he asked himself.
Cindy supersped to the rooftop.
"How did you find me!?" he asked.
"Jimmy put a tracker on you." Cindy answered.
"Of course he did." Sheen said annoyed.
"Sheen, he asked me to try and comvince you to find another way." Cindy said getting closer.
"I told you, there is no other way!" Sheen said backing away.
"At least let us try." Cindy said sincerely.
Sheen looked down and then onto the horizon.
Zupco was sitting at his desk when he got a call.
Zupco: Ah, Estevez what do you want?
Sheen: Zupco. I've got your money. where do I meet you.
Zupco: So soon. Good for you. Meet me at the same place.
Sheen: Got it.
Sheen entered the building again with a bag full of money.
Zupco came out of the shadows with his thugs.
Sheen threw the bag on the ground, "It's all there Zupco. The debts payed. We're done ." he said walking off.
"I don't think so Estevez." Zupco said stopping him.
"Why?" Sheen asked.
"You're a good earner Estevez. With the interest I gave your father there is no way that debt could have ever been payed. But here you are."
"What of it?" Sheen asked.
"You honestly thought I would let you go." Zupco said waving his arm signalling his thugs to ready their guns.
"You can't do this. Brick would never allow it." Sheen protested.
"I'm not afraid of Brick anymore."
Realizing what was happening Sheen used his superspeed to disarm every thug in the room.
Everyone was stunned except Zupco who just grinned.
"What!? Ya not scard!?" Sheen asked.
"You know what my street name used to be Estevez?" Zupco asked calmly.
"What?" Sheen asked.
"Fearmonger." he answered with his eyes glowing.
Sheen began to feel dizzy suddenly Zupco and his thugs began to turn into terrifying beasts. He was so frozen in fear he couldn't move a muscle.
"Take care of him." Zupco ordered.
His thugs began to beat Sheen savagely.
"You see Estevez. You're out when I say you're out."
Zupco's thugs continued to beat Sheen. Suddenly a piercing sound entered the building causing everyone to grab their ears.
A blurr zoomed in knocking two of the thugs to a wall.
"Right on time." Sheen said to himself smiling.
The blurr was revealed to be Special girl.
"Need some help?" she asked picking him up.
"Get them!" Zupco screamed while running a way.
He was stopped by a swift roundhouse kick by Libby who was invisible.
"You're not going anywhere." she said reappearing.
He used his power on her causing her to panic.
"Get away from me!" she screamed running away.
Zupco got passed her and ran out the door.
Sheen saw him get away and asked, "Can you handle these clowns?"
"Definitely!" Cindy answered with a smile.
Sheen raced out of the building and speed punched Zupco to the ground.
"Had enough!?" Sheen asked.
Still conscious Zupco used his powers again causing Sheen to panic again.
While Sheen was in his panicked state Zupco pulled out his gun and got ready to shoot him.
Before he could pull the trigger Zupco was sent flying by a sonic blast knocking him out.
Carl as Echo came out of the shadows and helped sheen up, "You okay?"
"Ya." Sheen answered smiling.
They met up with Cindy and Libby who had finished taking down the thugs.
"Let's round them up and call the cops" Cindy suggested.
After the cops showed up to apprehended Zupco and his thugs the team and Sheen went back to Jimmy's lab.
The team walked in and met Jimmy.
"I take things went well." Jimmy commented.
"Ya, Zupco won't be hurting anyone for a very long while." Cindy answered.
Sheen walked infront of everyone and said, "Look, I wanted to thank you guys for saving my bacon there."
"I know a better way for you to thank us. You could join the team." Carl suggested.
"That's a great idea Carl." Jimmy complimented.
"I don't know guys he's still a criminal." Cindy added.
"And Libby's a bully and I'm an attempted murderer. None of us are perfect." Carl argued.
"Fine I'm for it." Cindy agreed, "What do you think Libby."
Libby rolled her eyes, "If everyone's for this then I am too."
"I don't know what to say." Sheen said gladly, "Thanks for letting me in. But if we're going to do this we could do better."
"What do you mean?" Jimmy asked.
"This city was hurting long before mutants showed up. We could be guardian angels to the people of this city saving them..."
"In a flash." Jimmy interrupted.
"Flash, that would make a cool name." Sheen complimented.
"Then it's decided your codename is the Flash." Cindy said jokingly.
Everyone laughed except for Libby.
When everyone was going home Libby stopped Sheen, "Look I don't trust you and as far as I'm concerned you're a selfish bastard who only cares about himself. If you do anything to hurt anyone on this team I promise you won't live to regret it." she threatened before walking off to join the others.
Sheen looked on with a worried face.
Later that night in Jimmy's lab after everybody left, Stone broke into Jimmy's lab by phasing through the ground he went to one of Jimmy's inventions and said to himself, "Soon Lilly we will be together again."
