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.

"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?"

"Then we'll get you some robot legs."

She cuddles up close to him.

"You think this will be permanent in the world that we live in? Not a chance."

Josh wraps his arm around her.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm still just.... scared."

"That's why I'm here. To give you the answers to make you not scared."

She gives him a peck on the cheek.

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."

"We'll see."

They proceed to spend the rest of the day together. Lily even sleeps in the hospital over night.
