TIME: September 28, 2010
Troy comes out of his running dash and slows down to a walk. No one notices that he had however.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Roq83Hai
He had just come back from busting the windows out of Vanessa’s car after listening to Jasmine Sullivan on the radio at his place. It felt good at first but now he was feeling pretty bad because he had committed a rather petty act. He was more than that…he was someone…he didn’t know what to think about himself.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXmmhCGOPc
So he just walked behind the line of people all talking on their cell-phones. He didn’t even notice that the sun was setting.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwUn0Blzdb
He soon came to a club. He looked up at the sign seeing the name. It was Club Cubix. He had no idea what the club was all about but he was going to give it a go. So he walked into the club and the men there all looked rowdy and rough. He wondered if he was in the right place.

BARTENDER: Yo! You in the right place man?
TROY: Um, right now, I could care less. I just need a drink.
BARTENDER: Then you’re welcome here. Have a seat.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxNmFBOPYM
Troy follows the advice and orders a strong drink. He takes sip of the drink as it is handed to him. Then a voice hits his ears. It is one he recognized so well, one he allowed himself to remember. He turns his body back to the red-head of his class talking to a rather large man. He focuses on them both.

LINDSEY: Freight Train, my dad said he order the parts from you. I really need them.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Look Lindsey…you’ve been dealing with us for years but right now we can’t do nothing for you. The Furious Four need to focus on their assassination careers.
TROY: What in the world is she doing talking to assassins? Wait a minute, what kind of bar is this?
BARTENDER: Hey…nice watch.
TROY: Thanks.

He feels the bartender grab his arm and yank on it. Troy turns to the bartender quickly. He grabs the head of the man and smashes it on the counter. Other men get up to attack him after they see the deed done.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MIqR0bCxE
Troy leaps over the bar as they lift up chairs and swing them at him. He hides behind the counter. He knew that he could not use his powers and expose himself. Kate Barnes had taught him better than that. But it was tempting to electrocute them all.

LINDSEY: Freight Train…I really can be doing this man.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Sorry.
LIDNSEY: Okay. That’s find. We’ll figure out something.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Alright. I’ll have you next time, promise.
LINDSEY: You better, I’ve been coming here since I was six years old. (Smiles)790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynfwAfr2AK
FREIGHT TRAIN: Yeah…I was twenty then and you still managed to break every one of my fingers…I liked that girl then.
LINDSEY: What about now?790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP5IoR9AQ1
FREIGHT MAN: Even more.
LINDSEY: (Smiles) I’ll talk to you later. I think I need to go help my teacher.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXYlQHcjTZ
FREIGHT MAN: Alright.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dVDxN3S74
Troy twitches every time a chair strikes the bar. An arm then comes over the counter and grabs him by his shirt. The arm however lets loose.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDPN0zI2LI
There is a few punching sounds and a scream. Troy looks over the counter and there is only one man standing. Lindsey blocks two of his attacks, goes under a right cross and comes up jabbing him in the gut six times.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR5nbl39AY
He swings again and she slams his arm down, flipping him on his back. She finishes by smashing him in the face with her foot.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJglg2IMMCR
FREIGHT TRAIN: Good job.
LINDSEY: Shutup.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Yea ma’m…
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpz55JCal5
Lindsey looks over the counter with a smile. Troy finally comes up over the counter looking at her with surprise.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEpHQWQgnk
LINDSEY: Um, Mr. Calloway, I don’t think this is your type of place. Try to stay out of trouble next time. See you at school. I’m out Freight!
FREIGHT TRAIN: Mmm-hmmm. Later.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCor3hKNkW
Lindsey walks out of the establishment. Troy looks at Freight Train.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8D1GzhMJx
TROY: When does she come here?790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNJFJfkoU7
FREIGHT TRAIN: All the time. Since she was a little old girls she been coming here roughing people up. (Chuckles) You ain’t got a shot with her man… (Chuckles) Might as well go on and cry now pretty boy.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzpbQcD8ef
Troy throws his hand down at Freight Train. He then leaves the bar.

TIME: 12:00 a.m
Inside of a rather tall building there are three inspectors gathered with the building manager.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQIsSyFFYp
INSPECTOR: This pillar here is not sound. Right now, it is under a lot of stress. A few more pounds of pressure and this entire building is going to come down. So what you need to do is evacuate this building right now.
MANAGER: But that will be near to impossible.
INSPECTOR: Well it needs to get done now. I’m very sorry. This entire building needs to be reinforced before we can condone it to be habitable.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNAB9PyYaj
MANAGER: I’ll see what…
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLq8oQGqQq
There is a cracking sound. The men all turn to the pillar and sees a large crack form. It starts to crumble apart. They look at each and start running towards the stairs when they finally come to that the building was falling down. They never made it, as pieces of rubble blocked their path.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS5JkL520l
On top of the building, on the balcony portion, Lindsey was looking out over the city. Her father had taken her there many times and she liked to come up there to think. Then they tore it down and built this new building. The view just wasn’t the same but she couldn’t stop coming…it was like home to her.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzB1f1aGbz
However, she sensed danger around her. Her eyes flurried with flames and they faded. She knew that she needed to get out quickly. She ran to the door and a concrete piece fell on her head.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxPGXxIMl0
It burned to bits as it did but she was still knocked down. The blow was n enough to knock her off her balance. As she did, the building leaned with her and she slid down to the bars of the balcony. She grabbed on tightly and looked below to certain death.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthsTAbGiDs
Troy hears screams from behind. He turns his body around towards the screaming. He sees the building coming down. Troy’s eyes squint and he starts top move forward.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaHoir94FY
You’re going to be something more one day… but then time to show your face isn’t here yet. Always wear a mask. Troy thought as his sister’s words rang through his head. Before he saved the people doomed, he needed to protect himself first.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp0nsxoFS4
Troy disappears in flash of lightning to his home. He opens his secret closet and reveals his special outfit. It was designed to be fireproof, mostly bulletproof, and unable to breakdown due to friction.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9zn27jm6m
In a flash of lightning he was in his suit. The helmet comes down and the mask over from his chin up to his nose activated. The only thing seen on him was his eyes. Troy takes off.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaj5NLqFZN
As he runs at the building, everything slows down around him. The building falls very slowly. He didn’t know how fast he was going but he needed to speed it up. He pushed himself towards the building and into it.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja7OzR6JSN
In a streak of lightning people appear outside of the building motionless as he runs in back and forth getting people out of the building and to safety. He finally makes it to the balcony and sees Lindsey hanging on. Taken out of focus, his speed slows to real time and he stumbles forward.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF69u2ffYw
Lindsey looks up and sees the man in the blue and black suit. He grabs her hand and pulls her up.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWGxDDoWdI
TROY: Hang on miss…this is going to be fast.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfrjAwJqh
Troy takes off and appears at the bottom of the building. He sits Lindsey down and she looks at him in surprise.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfhvw3FauC
TROY: Are you okay Miss?790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUGwrdqDW3
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11hd184r3i
She nods to him still a little dazed. His eyes betray a smile. He lets out a breath.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIdQSdReny
MAN: What do we call you!
TROY: You can call me…Lightguy…
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LMDCbb1Hw
Troy takes off and all that can be seen is a streak of lightning going through the city. The people al l watch the blue bolt fade away and look at Lindsey.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQPsRgyTtz
CROWD: Do you know him?790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gsiaqQkrC
LINDSEY: No…
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo8hKRzQxY
LOCATION: New Oxford College
Troy puts his suit away and smiles to himself. He had saved the girl…then he frowned…Lightguy saved the girl. Troy was going to have to come up with a way to outdo the speedster in blue and black.
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUXUghcyW8
TROY: Oi.
