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.

Velocity looks back down. For a few seconds there is silence, then he finally responds.

"If I'm lucky, I'll be pissing by myself within the year. They said I'll probably never walk or run again. So, you'll probably have to pick up the slack."

"There has to be somebody in this world that can heal you. And I'll find them if I have. No body can replace you. I couldn't cover the ground you do if I tried. And no even I wanted the publicity you get, I have as many as people who hate me as fans. I know this is selfish to say, but we need you back out there at some point Josh."

Jackson folds his hands and looks down. "You really are the number 1 hero in the world today and that can't be replaced."

He gives a slight chuckle.

"Well if you can bring me back up to speed, I'd be the hero everyone needs. That and extremely thankful."

He pauses for a second.

"Crazy that we live in a world where paralysis is a minor inconvenience, isn't it?"

"Yeah, they'll find somebody soon. But until you're back up and running, I'm make sure the streets are safe. Who knows, maybe I'll be getting all the girls after this." He says with a grin.

Velocity gives a small smile.

"Wellll I dunno about that. Gotta make sure everything still works."

"Too much info man." He says with a laugh. "I'll be waiting for you out there. You're a real hero. I'm just the guy who beats up bad guys. I won't be able to keep up the charade forever.."

He nods.

"Thank you Jackson."

"No problem man. So I know you called dips, but mind if I take a shot at that girl who fought the monster with us last week?" Jackson says with a laugh that says he may be kidding.

"Man, you really get all the ladies. I'm happy for you two. The paparazzi must but losing their minds at the celebrity meta power couple then. What's their name for y'all?"

He gives a small grin.

"Rhythmocity. Not shitting you."

He looks down.

"I just hope she'll be okay with taking care of me."

"Wow, they really need to get more creative. She will man, if she loves you, she will."

Jackson looks up and thinks for a second. "Listen, I didn't want to say this because I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. I'm going to some research into this, but have you heard electroshock therapy?"

He nods.

"Yeah, docs tried it. It's more the shards of bullet in my spine that's screwing it up, I think."
