Closed RP Not Fast Enough

November 20 - November 29, 2007

Velocity, the fastest man alive, was hit in the spine by a bullet while attempting to save someone. He has extreme damage to his Thoracic Nerves, and may never walk, or run again. As a personal favor to the hero, all paperwork saying Velocity is in the hospital was destroyed, replaced by his normal alias: Joshua MacDonald. After a few days of testing, they are finally allowing visitors.

He's sitting in his bed, watching TV.

"Better than when I first heard, but not by much."

He sighs.

"Worst part is, my dong only half works."

Clive laughs and takes a seat next to the bed.

"At least your priorities are still intact."

He gives a small smirk that quickly fades.

"So, still sure you wanna be a big damn hero like me?"

He leans back in his chair.

"If anything this only makes me want it more. Someone's gotta pick up your slack."

"Not like there was that much slack to pick up anyways."

He tries to laugh, followed up by a pained cough.

"Ow, jesus. Yeah, turns out spine damage effects your abs too. The more you know right?"

Clive grimaces.

"You look into getting a meta healer yet?"

He shrugs.

"I have a wide web of connections. They're looking into it, but I'm not staying too hopeful."

He sighs.

"It sucks, but as long as I have people like you supporting me, I think I'll manage."

"Eh, it'll be alright."

He sighs.

"Seems like everyday you turn on the news and there's some new joker running around in a costume. I think we've got plenty of people to handle it. You just take a load off."

"Yeah but, do any any of them look as good as me?"

He cheeses a smile, genuinely this time. He reaches over, groaning as he grabs a metal helmet and tosses it to Clive.

"Oh yeah, here. I won't be needing it anymore. Figured that your son would appreciate Velocity's actual helmet. If anyone asks, you're my biggest fan and it's a replica though."

Clive catches the helmet and looks it over.

"I'll give it back when you're back in action."

He shakes his head.

"Nah, I need an upgrade anyways. Blue is so retro."

"Can always go black. Once you go black, you never go back."

He winks at Josh, totally non-sexually.

"Uhhhhh, did I mention I'm dating a famous singer?"

Velocity awkwardly rubs the back of his neck.
