Once upon a time, it was a Dark and Stormy night, the ground was shaking from the thunder clasps, lightning was splitting the sky and colliding with the streetlights and buildings all around me! This was no normal storm; I had never seen anything like it before. I could feel the shock waves as the thunder ruptured the air! I could see the electricity crawling down the light poles, the hair on my arms stood up as the strikes one after another came down all around me!
Out of fear, No terror, I ran! I ran so fast my body could not keep up with my feet causing me to stumble and fall. How pathetic, I ran from a storm, and I couldn’t even get away! No stop this I told myself. This is no ordinary storm; you must get out of here and take cover. Gathering my strength, I pulled myself up and started to take off towards an old storm shelter that I knew about from childhood, but I would not get far. In my haste I didn’t realize the pole I was using to pull myself up was the same type of pole the lightning was being drawn to!
When I came to, perhaps it would be more Accurate to say, now half conscience, my ears ringing and body numb. I found myself looking straight up into the sky. I recall thinking this is it. Im going to die and don’t even know why. Flash, Boom, Crackle! I woke up on an operating table, but this was no ordinary hospital! I could hear someone talking but my eyes would not come into focus. My body wracked in pain from the third-degree burns covering me, I just closed my eyes, stayed still and tried to listen. I overheard as the men talked about how Legion had returned to Earth riding some kind of time wave! I calculated that I must not have been targeted after all but simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It seems that I was slipping in and out of consciousness, so my memory is pretty hazy about what happened next, or at least the order of things, but it turns out a band of heroes found me on the street that day as they were responding to the disturbance. They brought me to their league headquarters and treated me in Morphon baths, even wrapping me in Morphon soaked bandages and it worked, I was healed! No scars, no lasting injuries, but there was one major side effect, one that would leave me changed forever.
I think it must be some kind of cosmic joke that I would get this power. Of all the powers that could have manifested, I get this one? I couldn’t even run without tripping over my own feet, and I get Turbo charged speed! If there is a God, we will have to talk about this if ever we are to meet.
Still, I’m alive! Im healed, and now I have this incredible power. I wonder if I will develop more powers. Maybe I can figure out this time wave and use it to return the favor to Legion. Yes, that sounds like a plan, now I wonder, who has the power to control time?
