TIME: September 28, 2010
Troy comes out of his running dash and slows down to a walk. No one notices that he had however.
860Please respect copyright.PENANA2meErpuKYI
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAeF4I8gr3fE
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAVEufBcGdrW
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAOpeUIZrSvB
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAJZHwE9t478
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAWAAX1enQfx
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAGCNKPtLqLB
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAMJZ1GLhlcp
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)860Please respect copyright.PENANACyZgMbEORM
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?860Please respect copyright.PENANAi1dpWqTL4U
FREIGHT MAN: Even more.
LINDSEY: (Smiles) I’ll talk to you later. I think I need to go help my teacher.860Please respect copyright.PENANApK5WDv0FQq
FREIGHT MAN: Alright.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAom5nC4QMgd
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAssNZNIUFNT
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAkZAw1x4xs2
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAqBHYwddnbl
FREIGHT TRAIN: Good job.
LINDSEY: Shutup.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Yea ma’m…
860Please respect copyright.PENANAuwOHdxwOc3
Lindsey looks over the counter with a smile. Troy finally comes up over the counter looking at her with surprise.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAjRAonRFUaI
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ9gvwcIbd
Lindsey walks out of the establishment. Troy looks at Freight Train.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAfEwWqKwL3K
TROY: When does she come here?860Please respect copyright.PENANA4tZztH14m4
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAOWmck426dE
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAPfTaY0O847
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.860Please respect copyright.PENANA1qvcjmnLrm
MANAGER: I’ll see what…
860Please respect copyright.PENANAwSD6DV5yPd
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAcgJ7ie9W0O
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANADzljJmqBjy
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANA9w3Mz7REqF
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAvmh2atldQP
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANADUWCKv5Mxp
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAUTzGWqA1Nl
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANANbBMXqN7Vo
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAo65FVuyF3y
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAt5kfMY0aHx
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAt99wIMw58u
Lindsey looks up and sees the man in the blue and black suit. He grabs her hand and pulls her up.
860Please respect copyright.PENANArNJpdGo0HT
TROY: Hang on miss…this is going to be fast.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAQBX6Q3I2EN
Troy takes off and appears at the bottom of the building. He sits Lindsey down and she looks at him in surprise.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAWbk38kEduy
TROY: Are you okay Miss?860Please respect copyright.PENANAvzApB7pH5g
860Please respect copyright.PENANAfpTSgN37WO
She nods to him still a little dazed. His eyes betray a smile. He lets out a breath.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAeW3EdoWvAv
MAN: What do we call you!
TROY: You can call me…Lightguy…
860Please respect copyright.PENANAKKjU8NpDKI
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANA3cW74btg0X
CROWD: Do you know him?860Please respect copyright.PENANAPUzdbwPhum
LINDSEY: No…
860Please respect copyright.PENANABXXxKNN9TW
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.
860Please respect copyright.PENANAuHsYsPtoAi
TROY: Oi.
