Chapter 74

Redfooted

Part 1

Disclaimer: This idea is one I was inspired by while re-reading L1's 'Uncanny Kid Razor' and will be my take on the rivalry between L1's Sonic Blue and Redfoot. Warning, it may get a little ugly.

Cincinnati, Ohio

In the room of an assisted living facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, sat a lone man in a wheelchair in the darkness of his room. Stewing yet again in his hate and anger towards not only Spencer Burton but the Cincinnati hero known as Sonic Blue, who he perhaps hated more than he did Spencer. This figure is known as Keith Michaels and he'd been in a wheelchair and this facility for years following his being injured and losing his ability to walk after getting too close to a fight Sonic Blue was in at the time and instead of accepting responsibility for his own actions, had chosen to blame the Iron Speedster for it all. No amount of therapy had been able to get through to him and despite Spencer's visits from time to time, no ground had been gained there either thanks to the growing hate within Keith. The fact Keith had felt Spencer was trying to take his spot on the High School Track team in order to get all the glory for himself and still thought this way certainly hadn't helped things either no matter what was said to him. I should not be in this chair, damnit! I should be the one running everywhere like that moron in the blue armor! I should be the one everyone respects and bows too! Not him or Burton! Bastards!

He was broken from his thoughts when the door to his room opened, allowing light to pour in and causing Keith to scowl darkly at the interruption. "This had better be good." Growled the man unhappily.

"How would you like a chance to walk again, my friend? And not only that, but to get your long desired revenge against Sonic Blue?" Asked a well dressed man to him.

Keith could only stare at him, wondering if he'd heard right before asking that very question. "Oh, you did, my friend, you did. I represent an organization that is capable of giving you back your ability to walk. Admittedly, we aren't doing this out of the goodness of our hearts as we would like to remove Sonic Blue from the board." Informed the figure.

Causing the angry wheelchair bound Keith's eyes to widen in shock. "I don't care why you want him gone, as long as you can do what you say you can, I'll happily kill the bastard if it means I get to walk, to run again! I'll even return the favor and cripple him since he deserves it!"

The mystery figure smiled and extended his hand to be shaken. "Then welcome aboard to AIM, Mr. Richards. You won't be disappointed."

"I better not be."

I WILL FINALLY GET JUSTICE! And when I'm done with Sonic Blue, Burton will be next!

All that should have been his, will finally be so!

Author's Notes: I know this is short but I thought it'd be a great introductory chapter.
