Move fast, think fast, that's me. A white dork who thought he
was cooler then he actually was but after one night of watching
a particle accelerator turn on for the first time he became. A
white dork who thought he was cooler then he actually was. That
and being in a coma for a couple months but that's not
important. Now you may be asking, who am I?
"Hubs city's biggest and brightest all in one place!" "I guess I
shoulda worn a tie then." "I don't think anyone's going to
notice Donovin." "You're right.. this tech symposium is amazing!
Totally my kinda date." "So this is a date?" "Huh? What? Did you
say something?" "I'm kidding I know what this is and considering
it took you two years to ask me out." "I'm methodical patty."
"Oh is that what it's called now?"
Hub city. One of the pristine travel destinations in all of
america. Nice downtown, low crime rate, and technological
advancements galore! It's city is only rivaled by coast city
it's connection by bridge. Anyway see that amazingly handsome
man in the red vest and collard shirt? He's are main character,
the star of the show. And the beautiful girl next to him is
patty. Lovely girl, smart as a whip to if you couldn't tell
given whereally they are.
"Check this out patty." He leads her over to a model of the city
with a monorail around the perimeter. "It's just a monorail." "A
green high speed monorail. And it runs on a new type of
renewable energy source." "A theoretical renewable energy
source. If they want to improve traffic whyou not finish the
downtown freeway?" A man in a brown suit walks over to the
couple. His brown hair making it past his ears almost to his
jaw. "Excuse me I'm darwin eli--" "Dr. Elias! It's an honor! "
"pleasure. This is a passion project of mine." "Rightfully so.
But how is adding more roads a bad thing?" "Ever hear of the law
of congestion?" Before the doctor can continue. Men dressed in
black armor break in through the ceiling as they drop from
helicopter. They begin to open fire as our protagonist presses
on his ring as a red and yellow suit bursts from it. Because if
you haven't gussed already.
I'm Donovin craig, and to the world I'm the fastest man alive.
The men scramble "you got it?" One asks "me? Crap." "Alright
let's go! 45 and 57 slow him down!" "Slow him down? With what?"
They look down and realize I have all their guns in hand and I
throw them on the ground. They run to the helicopter but I keep
taking them down. I grab the one who is holding the octagonal
object. "33 think fast!" I grab it before it leaves his palm "
come on guys your making this too.." I then realize I can't fly.
"Easy"
As I fall to the ground holding the man I realize "this.. is...
gonna... hurt!" I vibrate my molecules and cause a small
explosion as I fall into the sewer. "Yep. Just as I planned."

I bring the device back to Dr. Elias "here you go doc gently
used." "Portable recoder. Thank you streak it's a pleasure to
finally meet you." "Likewise I'm a big fan." "If there's
anything I can-" I feel my phone ring and rusrush towards it "I
won't hesitate goodbye."
Patty await's with the police with phone in hand "come on...
pick up." "Sorry must have droped my cell in the confusion."
"Thanks. But now it's time to clock in." "Clock in?" "Just come
on we got a body."
Patty and I are two of the best crime scene analysts in the
whole city.
"Look at this! Little patty spivot out of her lab coat and
getting her hands dirty for a change. The bald man in the tan
suit jests. "Nice to see you to tony. What happened." "The
streak happened. Put him through a glass window." Shit I knew I
forgot something. "Killed on impact?" Patty removes the mask and
I see something awful. A familiar face. The lifeless eyes of my
old friend Eric. "You know this guy?"
The forest behind our highschool, i remember one time we were
chased through it. "I told you that was a bad idea!" "No way
donovin that chick was totally worth it!" "Worth getting a beat
down from the whole football team?" "Well at least your out of
your house getting fresh air." "I thought we were going to get
you ready for your interview instead of running away from
another angry mob." "Whatever, you know whats your problem is?
You haven't found someone worth taking a beating for yet."
What are we doing here eric?
"It wasn't your fault. He was fine, then he wasint. I can show
you the security footage if you want." "It's not necessary.
Whatever killed him. It might have something to do with your
genome recoder. Think I could borrow it?" "Of course. But
these... things it seems like they're pepersonal to you." "They
all are."
And I need to find out what happened.
The apartment becomes a blur of movement between the computer
and the recoder all through the the night. Hmmmmm. Need a DNA
sample from the lab to prove that. Knew it his DNA had been
altered. But how? Who dido this to you eric? Why were you
involved with these guys? The recoder was mentioned to rewrite
your DNA but none of this makes sence.
suddenly a winow opens and someone enters "I knew I'd find you
alone on a Friday night." I rip off his hood and... "Eric how!?"
"Look, I don't have time to explain." The door is kicked open as
eric goes out the open window. "Try and keep up." We jump from
the fire escape to the street and dash into the night. "Is this
worth taking a beating for?" "I wish we were just taking a
beating." I see a man spot us and head in our direction. Another
three try to corner us in a park "seriously how many angry
husband's are after you!" "You of all people should know. We're
all ruNing from something."
I purposefully trip and fall into the water. But he is half
right. My mom used to say life is like a locomotion, if you're
not moving, you're not living. But there is a time where you
have to stop running from things. And times you have to run
towards things. You've got to forge ahead. Keep moving. Even if
your path isn't lit, trust that you'll find your way. But that's
something eric never could do. He was always trying to stay
ahead of his mistakes. I activate the ring and shoot out from
the water, too busy out running ghosts to notice the friends he
left behind. But the thing is, no matter how fast you run you
canto outrun... yourself?
I stop in my tracks when I see eric being grabbed by the same
black clothed people, that all looked like eric.

The multiple Erics circle me while I try to decipher what is
going on. "This is interesting. you've got three seconds to let
him go." The Eric to my right takes a swing but I am simply not
there, men go down in the blink of an eye, bones broken, faces
smashed, lots of fun "One" I continue through the forest taking
down even more of them. "Two" I grab a knife from one of the
Erics, as I get to the main one holding him hostage. I put the
knife to his throat and say "I don't ask twice." The Eric just
smiles and says "Whoa. That was fast. Yet as quick as you are,
you cant be everywhere. buut." One of the Erics get off the
ground dazed "We can, so hear us out." "You know that idiot that
drowned? We got his lady friend, Patty something. and since you
like counting so much. stay still and count to a thousand. and
do so slowly red. when were clear you will get a call, and cutie
pie gets to live. One more thing, forget about Eric Hardcastle.
Leave him to Mob Rule."
And with that the army was gone, minutes go by until I hear my
cellphone ring "Hello whos there?" "The streak where are you?"
"At the corner of ninth avenue and."
"Did they hurt you?" "Wouldve been nice if they stopped the van
before throwing me out. But im fine." "Take care, I have to see
a friend."
Dr. Darwin Elias laboratory.
I get connected to all sorts of machines and high tech gear,
then for some reason get put on a treadmill. "No I am not
kidding. I want you to run on it." "I appreciate the help Dr.
Elias, but this is just ridiculous." "Progressive science is
always skating the line of absurdity. So is being in two places
at once." "I hope you filled out that warranty card." I begin to
jog on the treadmill and sparks begin to form, soon giant balls
of energy form around me. "Unless this is some sorta cosmic
treadmill all your gonna end up with is. The machine finally
gives and disintegrates. "Spare parts, see told ya." "Three
seconds was more than enough. Looking at the raw data, your body
is tapping into some form of energy source." "Cool so like a
spped force." "Your body can already move at speeds way beyond
what are instruments can measure." "So you cant make me faster?"
"Yes. And no. Look at your brain scan, while your body takes
full advantage of your powers, your mind is only using a
fraction of the speed force energy." "Im not thinking fast
enough?" "Yes, you need to learn to use your brain to tap into
the speed force."
Ever hear of augmented cognition? Its a neuroscience focused on
expanding the limits of the human brain cognition, using the
speed force you can eliminate the natural bottlenecking of
information that occurs due to the limits of human physiology.
Mater augcog and theres no limit to what you can accomplish. You
need to discover how to trigger the process.
"Ya great theory doc. The million dollar question is how?" Patty
walks into the room and asks "Donovin? Are you talking to
yourself?" "Patty? Umm, no... I mean kinda. A little." "I see,
good call on taking that personal day. No worries though you
haven't missed much. No official cause of death on your friend.
Coroner is kinda saying he expired. But the weird thing is the
cuts from the plate glass window healed post mortem.' 'Rapid
cell regen?" "That would explain it. What if the body was a
clone?" "This... Is why I like you Patty Spivot." "Youre sweet,
whats crazy is that we have a guy that runs faster then the
speed of sound, I guess cloning dosent sound impossible. With
Erics U.S intel background, and all his missing files
somethingweirdisdefinatlygoingon." "Woah. This is weird, My
brain is processing information around me at the same time. Im
thinking faster!" "Donovin did you hear a word I said!" "Sorry I
got to go its something to do with something, not here."
The honks of the cars near the sidewalk don't even faze me, I
see a bird twelve miles away from here and... Whoa, Robber,
Crane, Apples, Truck. Hostage, gunshot,death,hit, Its amazing. I
can see everything before it happens. I can weigh every possible
outcome. I can make the right choice. And I can do something
about it. Before any one even notices.
I start to eat the apple from the nearby store and watch it
happen. The apples in the stack fall down tripping the robber,
causing the man to take his gun and point it at the robber. The
truck speeding because of the almost crime? Suddenly has a crane
attached to it causing it to flip. The kid in the road picks up
the twenty dollars from the ground causing the car to sail over
him landing in a manure truck.
While looking at my amazingness I get a text from patty it read:
This friend of yours, he was a deep cover operative for the CIA.
So deep that theres next to nothing on him. Officialy he was KIA
sixteen months ago. I scrounged up a unofficial copy of his
passport.
Erics passport a good a start as any. This shouldint take long,
all I need is one loose thread. One good tug will unravel the
whole thing, just one little thread to find what im looking for.
"What exactly are you looking for?" "Well, not this. I was told
there was a military training facility. Not a pig farm." "That
was years ago. Those CIA fellas leveled the whole place, boxed
everything up and took it with them. all except for the pigs."
"That's right pigs. The whole city is full of them Donovin." "Im
sure its unpleasant but that's no reason to leave. Whats really
wrong with you?" "Nothing man I just don't wanna do it anymore."
"Eric, you cant keep running away" "Look can you poick me up or
not?" "Ya where are you? Eric..Eric"
"Damn it Eric we are dying here! ND your letting it happen!"
"How can you be so cruel?" "Don't you see your the solution to
our problems! Right doctor Guerrero?"
Hub city P.D
"Spivot, I found something in the de classified documents, on a
defunct cloning project."
Mercury Labs
"Outstanding.. These brain scans are really something else.
wait. that cant be.
Hub city Bridge
Genetic coding, Clones, Regeneration, and pigs?"
Flight912
theres gotta be some connection and if I have to read every word
in the Hub city library. Im gonna find it.
"Push the damn button Guerrero."
Suddenly a huge green explosion emits from the city, then
blackness. This isint good, I look up and see an airplane diving
straight down towards me and every other person on the bridge.
"Oh Hell."

"Coffee smells way better than it tastes. It's crazy how good
coffee smells considering how bitter it tastes. Yet over fifty
percent of the adult population drinks the stuff. That's a
hundred and fifty million daily coffee drinkers in the U.S.
that's alot. But I am not one of them, it makes me to jittery.
So why do I feel like I could go for a fifty shot espresso right
now?
I don't know why I'm thinking about coffee. Guess I'm a little
A.D.D since I learned my brain could tap into the speed force.
Limited invisiblity, running on water, and in the case of the
speeding cars, creating vortexes. These weren't taught, i
diddint have a manual on my powers most of them I stumbled upon
as I fimbued my way through my early years. Like my ability to
vibrate through solid objects, like planes.
I can vibrate my molecules on anew atomic level. And by doing it
at the right frequency pass through objects. How'd I learn to do
that? Quadruple shot of espresso while pulling an all nighter.
That was my first and last experience with coffee.
So why do I want a cup right now? Because of what Imakes about
to attempt is a miracle. I grab onto the chairs of the plane and
vibrate fast as it comes down to the bridge.
Come on Donovin, keep..it..together. just. A little.
Longer!
The plane makes a safe water landing. Impressed with myself I
wonder why everything going goes black.
"Epic fail doc! Worthless piece of" "no dont!" The former doctor
Guerrero drops on the ground. Dead. "Doctor Guerrero was our
best chance what's wrong with you!" "I'm dying! Sooner than you!
HHe had a year and the doc came up with nothing but cause this
blackout. Shouldint be too hard to fill his shoes. " the real
eric sits strapped to a chair. "Murderers and you wonder why I
won't heload you?" "Shut up Eric! You don't get to add your two
cents here. You're weak.
You're not one of us"
"This stinks." "That would be the pig bladder ground up into a
powder lieutenant Hardcastle. TN email military scientists
fiddle with knows and write down notes as the doctor talks, A
human in the fetus stage has the ability to regenerate but we
lose it before we're evendors born. Pig extracted extracellular
matrix will direct your cells to divide. To differienciate it
will build them into a specific form it will lay down the
framework your cells will use to" "what doctor Guerrero is
trying to say is that we're giving you your hand back soldier.
This process is designed to enhance you in every way imaginable.
You will regenerate form any injury, stronger, faster and
smarter than the average man. You'll be unstoppable."
"You don't want to be one of us fine. But you can lend us a
hand. Or two.
"What happened? Are we dead? No I guess we're not. Alright
everyone leave the plane in an orderly manner let's go."
"Totally awesome! Streak can I have your?" The paper already
signed and I'm gone.
that was kind of awesome. Any way back to work, two cities with
a combines population of 3.5 million suddenly tgrown into the
dark ages without warning or explanation. Not just a power
outage but anot EMP pulse. That knocked out everything in a
twenty mile radius. Whatever did this there is one thing that's
certain, there's alot to do. 3.5 million are need. And I'm
going to help all of them.
HUB CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT
"Last night was a long one. And you all did us proud, but it's
not over by a lon shot. There's still civil unrest brewing
acroas the bridge and we need to keep a lid on it. I suggest you
suck down some red blur and get ready to work." "Donovin. I got
a lead on your friend. List of doctors who were involved in
military testing on soldiers. Something called project
bellathor. A bunch of them have doctors in the city ones at"
"craig, spivot. You take 7th and 4th!"
Right so what do we no about this doctor Guerrero what does he
specialize in?" "Stem cell research. Which is probably why he
was contracted by the government to work on the project." "33
shouldn't have killed doc." "Wait." "It's not right!" Two of the
black clad soldiers are carrying a body bag. "Who cares 99 he
was useless." "I care 41, we're dropping like flies and nobody's
doing a damn thing!" "Relax we already got a line on a
replacement." When we turn the corner we see a horrific sight.
Eric, without either of his hands ties in a chair."
"Eric! What happened to your hands!" "Oh I've seemed to
misplaced them,." "Why did they do this! Torture?"
"Recruitment." "Can you walk?" "Ya don't ask me to do a
handstand though." "They haven't taken your scence of humor."
"Ahem." The army of the erics are waiting on the wall next to
us.
"Well... this is awkward. Run!" Eric and patty make it out but
before I can the door slams shut. "You've made a big mistake
craig!" "No you've made a big mistake." I use the spwe'd mind
again and I see everything possible. I got this. Piece. Of.
Cake. Ring' gun" sword" iron heights" ...bullet. "what the hell
23! You know what he means to us!" "To eric. Not us." "Dosent

4 YEARS AGO ERIC HARDCATLES FATHERS FUNERAL
"The darkest of times can give birth to extraordinary things.
Defining moments that you can look back upon and say this is
when everything changed. This is where it all began we were born
in the shadow of death. And through his pain we found purpose we
found something to believe in. Until he left. And we were lost.
Eric mother moves towards me "Im glad your here." "Where else
would I be? Your like family." "Your a good boy, if only eric"
"Im sure he had his reasons." "Hes to much like his father, wont
stay still, wont grow roots." I see Eric near a tree on a nearby
hill, when I get there I say "You missed some beautiful words,
your mom" "I cant even look at her, cause all I see is what she
did to my dad. Practcally shoved him out the door if she never
shoved him papers he would have never gotten on that plane."
"That's not fair." "What happened to my dad wasint fair!
Freaking highjackers, like some sick joke." "Your mom couldint
have known what would happen. He made his choice." "And ive made
mine, im going to kill them all." "You don't mean that." "Im
dead serious. I did the interview, im in the CIA could always
use a man like you." "I cant im a scientist not a hero." "Don't
sell yourself short you have to find something meaningful in
your life."
THE BADLANDS, JUST OUTSIDE OF HUB AND COAST CITY
Mob Rule is traveling in trucks heading back to the city with a
captive, and that captive is a confused Dr. Elias, "We were lost
without him. But now we have a purpose doctor. Life, we want to
live." "Don't we all?" "Yea well that's where you come in. Mob
Rule needs your help." "And my genetic recoder if I remember
correctly." "We've got that, now we have you. Theres something
wrong with our DNA that's making us drop dead after only months
of living. And we need you to help fix it." "With that EMP blast
my lab is crippled. I have an experimental energy source ive
been developing but it hasint been tested yet." "No time like
the present doc." "Okay tell me about your "Father" and where
you came from." "We come from Eric Hardcastle.
He was a covert U.S operative who was given regenerative
abilities as part of a top secret government project. He was
already a highly trained badass but after the experiment it made
him the very best. Just put him in a direction and watch him
work. James bond meets Batman, Baslisk they called themselves.
But he was just biding time, gathering intel. Once he uncovered
the names of the people who killed his father he went rouge. But
to him they were dead men. He killed them one by one, but as
good as he was, he was just one man. Certain that he had co
constriptors they tortured him. They started with the fingers,
then the hands, but when they discovered that he could
regenerate. They just kept cutting and cutting, and cutting,
they tortured him for weeks, an eternity to eric. He was ready
to die, but something in him refused, and when his body gave up,
we regenerated from his limbs. We shared the same memories, a
psychic link to one another yet possessed our own distinct
thoughts and personalities. We could regenerate, but not create
life like he can. Together we stepped on many snakes, he was an
exceptional leader. Then we started to die. expiring with what
little warning and in the order that we were born. We diddint
know why, but we knew the key to our survival was Eric but
intead of helping us. He left us to die."
HUB CITY BRIDGE
A crowd of people are stopped in there tracks when the chief of
police steps on a car and says "Sorry folks! I need you to stand
back! Its to dangerous to let anyone on the bridge until the
surveyors arrive. " "My kids are on the other side!" "I wanna go
home." One man asks "Who cares about surveyors! The streak
somehow put a palne through a freaking bridge! Until we can
prove the bridge wont explode we cant have anyone cross." Eric
and Patty are at the far side of the crowd as his hand forms
back "Whoa, that explains the rapid regeration. Does it hurt?"
"Only when I laugh." "I hope it does hurt, you left your best
friend for dead back there!" "Ouch, look it wasint my fault that
the bridge closed, We have to find another way across before
things get violent, and belive me babe things will get violent."
"My name is Patty Spivot jerk, and im not leaving the police
need all the help they can get and I don't run at the first sign
of trouble, im not a coward." "Me neither im a survivor. You
know what trouble is? Mob Rule. There coming I can feel it."
"How could he be so wrong about you? He came looking for you,
put his life on the line for his friend. Sacrificed himself for
nothing." "Hell be fine they know what he means to me." "Nobody
means anything to you! You don't give a damn about anyone so why
would Mob Rule give a damn about him!"
HUB CITY 7TH STREET
Eric rushes down the street to find his missing friend when he
stops to catch his breath. "Woah there where the hell are you
going?" Multiple men come down from the rooftops "Out of the
way." "Come with us before we make you." "Is that a threat?" "It
is if you want it to be." "Enough I have to find" "Donovin? Let
us save you the trouble, hes dead. Happens a lot around you
dosent it?" "You. You killed him?n Im gonna kill you all!" Eric
hits the man infront of him and snaps the others neck as more
converge on him, he gets kicked in the back and is tackledto the
ground. "You don't like what you see? Whose fault is that? We
killed him which means were capable of killing you. Were
survivors, that's what we do. Embrace it, nothing comes between
us, you need to accept that. You don't have to run anymore,
accept wh you are."
Uggh what happened? I look around and see a puddle of soombodys
blood, ah crap. Last I remember I was surrounded by Mob Rule, I
got mental and kicked their, wait, if If I did that why am I
still here? I remember, I ate a bullet then my instincts came
in. Luckily, sensory neurons are amazing. They take external
stimuli and send signals to the central nervous system. The
super speed helps, my body sends pain messages at such a
velocity that the femtosecond I feel something, I react. I can
feel the slightest change in the airpressure around me pretty
much makes me untouchable. Honestly, It almost never comes to
that because even a speeding bullet doesn't catch me off guard.
That dosent change the fact that I don't have a handle on my
mental abilities and because of that I almost died. I got lost
in my thoughts. Got lost in probabilities, Couldn't tell the
difference between what I had done, and what I was going to do.
I froze, today my brain failed me, but instincts saved my life.
Wait I know that necktie, the unmistakable green and blue and
the Hawaiian pattern tells me one thing. They have doctor Elias,
and the dynamite next to me that was tripped because of the wire
attached to the tie tells me something else. "Oh great."
I run towards the window and press on my ring as metal bits fly
out of it and begin to attach to me. Enough analyzing, mob rule
woont stop with elias eric and patty are in danger. Im the
fastest man alive and im not letting that happen, not ever. Im
done overthinking, I run towards danger. Its my job to protect
these cities, no matter the price. I wont stop running,
Im the Streak, this is what I do.

"You better not be wasting our time doc. We don't have alot left
were dying and the clocks ticking!" "He knows! Dr. Elias has
already agreed to rewrite our DNA." "I agreed to try, my lab
wasint immune to the effects of the E.M.P blast that knocked out
power in the gem cities. But once I get my green energy
generator up and running I should be able to pinpoint the flaw
in your DNA.
BASEMENT OF MERCURY LABS
"Here it is." He leads them to a large green generator. "That's
it?" "Looks like a piece of junk." "If it's so awesome why is it

clones fall to the ground dead. "I'll get started."
GEM CITY BRIDGE
"Thank for sticking around patty." "Just doing my job captain
Barrow. But I'm not sure how long the crowds gonna stay put.
Rains gonna start coming down." "I know. Ferry service is being
set up, and they're still cleaning the roads into the city"
"This isint right!" one man walks through the police blockade
and keeps shouting "We've been waiting here all night and for
what! To catch pneumonia while you keep us from getting back to
Hub city! I've had enough. I work hard, I pay my taxes I want to
go home!" "This is getting bad." "Wait a minute look!"
I've got admit, I diddint think it was possible. But here i am
running across the water, with not one, but two 600 ton barges
drafting behind myour slipstream, sorry I doubted you speed
force. Honestly With All That's Been going On lately I shouldint
be surprised. Two days ago I discovered my mind could tap into
the speed force. Runs just as fast as my body does. With all
these abilities I could Practcally stop time and see every
variable and calculate every action before it happens.
"Special delivery from Wayne enterprises! Officers these barges
are stocked with supplies, generators, and emergency vehicles
please get these into the right hands." "streak! They won't let
us cross the bridge!" "The bridge is safe officers of it was
gonna blow up it would have done it already."
Theres still so much I don't know about my powers. But I've
gotta learn it on the fly. There's alot of work to do. But I'm
getting there, one step at a time.
i look at the distant city and i see fire shoot Fire shoot up
to the sky "Fire?? Ah crap iron heights.
The prison is in chaos prisoners run the place and, gotta free
the officers. The cops get freed from ice, stopped from being
beat or shot and then I turned to the rioters.
1 MINUTE LATER
"Officers I don't think they'll be a problem." "Thanks for
showing up streak wow'd you?" "friction." I look and see a green
beam shoot into the air "gotta run."
"I'm tired of running, let's get it over with give em what they
need so we can move on. You've got one shot at this doctor." "I
know eric. And there's every reason to hope, the electormagnetic
generators insulation protected my prototype from the E.M.P We
have the energy to preform the gene rewriting process. Using
eric as a road map, the genetic recoder will emit a specially
designed pulse of energy that will reconfigure the DNA of every
one of you." "is it gonna hurt?" "It won't tickle."
Hes the closet thing I have to family. A model of determination
eric was the one person who refused to let me forget that I
wasint a victim because I lost my parents. But when he lost his
father, that same refusal to be victimized put him on a bloody
path of revenge. A path that I thought had cost him his life.
