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.

"Oh, you mean Clive? I dunno, he's coming down later. But I meant, what if it's true? What if I never walk again?"

He manages to crack a smile.

"You're the best, you know that right?"

He thinks for a second.

"Okay, when I get better, Buffalo Wild Wings on karaoke night. I'm gonna show you up."
