TIME: September 28, 2010
Troy comes out of his running dash and slows down to a walk. No one notices that he had however.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAJTG2YKJlIs
He had just come back from busting the windows out of Vanessa’s car after listening to Jasmine Sullivan on the radio at his place. It felt good at first but now he was feeling pretty bad because he had committed a rather petty act. He was more than that…he was someone…he didn’t know what to think about himself.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAU05pjKxGYY
So he just walked behind the line of people all talking on their cell-phones. He didn’t even notice that the sun was setting.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAuMMmSfTUzn
He soon came to a club. He looked up at the sign seeing the name. It was Club Cubix. He had no idea what the club was all about but he was going to give it a go. So he walked into the club and the men there all looked rowdy and rough. He wondered if he was in the right place.

BARTENDER: Yo! You in the right place man?
TROY: Um, right now, I could care less. I just need a drink.
BARTENDER: Then you’re welcome here. Have a seat.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAZhYiAGhcT5
Troy follows the advice and orders a strong drink. He takes sip of the drink as it is handed to him. Then a voice hits his ears. It is one he recognized so well, one he allowed himself to remember. He turns his body back to the red-head of his class talking to a rather large man. He focuses on them both.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAdWT3jiMH8L
LINDSEY: Freight Train, my dad said he order the parts from you. I really need them.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Look Lindsey…you’ve been dealing with us for years but right now we can’t do nothing for you. The Furious Four need to focus on their assassination careers.
TROY: What in the world is she doing talking to assassins? Wait a minute, what kind of bar is this?
BARTENDER: Hey…nice watch.
TROY: Thanks.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAfa00CJxInb
He feels the bartender grab his arm and yank on it. Troy turns to the bartender quickly. He grabs the head of the man and smashes it on the counter. Other men get up to attack him after they see the deed done.
717Please respect copyright.PENANA40YtdrdHnD
Troy leaps over the bar as they lift up chairs and swing them at him. He hides behind the counter. He knew that he could not use his powers and expose himself. Kate Barnes had taught him better than that. But it was tempting to electrocute them all.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAV5wq4AFq7X
LINDSEY: Freight Train…I really can be doing this man.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Sorry.
LIDNSEY: Okay. That’s find. We’ll figure out something.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Alright. I’ll have you next time, promise.
LINDSEY: You better, I’ve been coming here since I was six years old. (Smiles)717Please respect copyright.PENANAxPvGHcWjz6
FREIGHT TRAIN: Yeah…I was twenty then and you still managed to break every one of my fingers…I liked that girl then.
LINDSEY: What about now?717Please respect copyright.PENANAb3K8xZOHL3
FREIGHT MAN: Even more.
LINDSEY: (Smiles) I’ll talk to you later. I think I need to go help my teacher.717Please respect copyright.PENANA0sm8asGh0S
FREIGHT MAN: Alright.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAcxcC5WjJpp
Troy twitches every time a chair strikes the bar. An arm then comes over the counter and grabs him by his shirt. The arm however lets loose.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAjolMlCwEnc
There is a few punching sounds and a scream. Troy looks over the counter and there is only one man standing. Lindsey blocks two of his attacks, goes under a right cross and comes up jabbing him in the gut six times.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAI4SSCdcKly
He swings again and she slams his arm down, flipping him on his back. She finishes by smashing him in the face with her foot.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAlhon6n5MaK
FREIGHT TRAIN: Good job.
LINDSEY: Shutup.
FREIGHT TRAIN: Yea ma’m…
717Please respect copyright.PENANAEIYgfXuEbi
Lindsey looks over the counter with a smile. Troy finally comes up over the counter looking at her with surprise.
717Please respect copyright.PENANA7q9cMYostV
LINDSEY: Um, Mr. Calloway, I don’t think this is your type of place. Try to stay out of trouble next time. See you at school. I’m out Freight!
FREIGHT TRAIN: Mmm-hmmm. Later.
717Please respect copyright.PENANADFIr4q8gEU
Lindsey walks out of the establishment. Troy looks at Freight Train.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAILQIOePT4o
TROY: When does she come here?717Please respect copyright.PENANAX8lHYi2Sbr
FREIGHT TRAIN: All the time. Since she was a little old girls she been coming here roughing people up. (Chuckles) You ain’t got a shot with her man… (Chuckles) Might as well go on and cry now pretty boy.
717Please respect copyright.PENANA8YNgeEZdcP
Troy throws his hand down at Freight Train. He then leaves the bar.

TIME: 12:00 a.m
Inside of a rather tall building there are three inspectors gathered with the building manager.
717Please respect copyright.PENANARTyyc8Im0d
INSPECTOR: This pillar here is not sound. Right now, it is under a lot of stress. A few more pounds of pressure and this entire building is going to come down. So what you need to do is evacuate this building right now.
MANAGER: But that will be near to impossible.
INSPECTOR: Well it needs to get done now. I’m very sorry. This entire building needs to be reinforced before we can condone it to be habitable.717Please respect copyright.PENANAWUxWX264WG
MANAGER: I’ll see what…
717Please respect copyright.PENANAPulc0N62qt
There is a cracking sound. The men all turn to the pillar and sees a large crack form. It starts to crumble apart. They look at each and start running towards the stairs when they finally come to that the building was falling down. They never made it, as pieces of rubble blocked their path.
717Please respect copyright.PENANACiPIrHiaR6
On top of the building, on the balcony portion, Lindsey was looking out over the city. Her father had taken her there many times and she liked to come up there to think. Then they tore it down and built this new building. The view just wasn’t the same but she couldn’t stop coming…it was like home to her.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAdcP22stksU
However, she sensed danger around her. Her eyes flurried with flames and they faded. She knew that she needed to get out quickly. She ran to the door and a concrete piece fell on her head.
717Please respect copyright.PENANA4cCsXhYBZF
It burned to bits as it did but she was still knocked down. The blow was n enough to knock her off her balance. As she did, the building leaned with her and she slid down to the bars of the balcony. She grabbed on tightly and looked below to certain death.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAaNqky66hCU
Troy hears screams from behind. He turns his body around towards the screaming. He sees the building coming down. Troy’s eyes squint and he starts top move forward.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAToKSWOA50Z
You’re going to be something more one day… but then time to show your face isn’t here yet. Always wear a mask. Troy thought as his sister’s words rang through his head. Before he saved the people doomed, he needed to protect himself first.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAHzlJgxRiQ0
Troy disappears in flash of lightning to his home. He opens his secret closet and reveals his special outfit. It was designed to be fireproof, mostly bulletproof, and unable to breakdown due to friction.
717Please respect copyright.PENANALs1mGyk7tw
In a flash of lightning he was in his suit. The helmet comes down and the mask over from his chin up to his nose activated. The only thing seen on him was his eyes. Troy takes off.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAncdhkO7y5L
As he runs at the building, everything slows down around him. The building falls very slowly. He didn’t know how fast he was going but he needed to speed it up. He pushed himself towards the building and into it.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAbODxheo0ac
In a streak of lightning people appear outside of the building motionless as he runs in back and forth getting people out of the building and to safety. He finally makes it to the balcony and sees Lindsey hanging on. Taken out of focus, his speed slows to real time and he stumbles forward.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAYQYCPqQmX6
Lindsey looks up and sees the man in the blue and black suit. He grabs her hand and pulls her up.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAPZkROwxNrc
TROY: Hang on miss…this is going to be fast.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAQMZDhlW6M2
Troy takes off and appears at the bottom of the building. He sits Lindsey down and she looks at him in surprise.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAqXQ1mmOyd5
TROY: Are you okay Miss?717Please respect copyright.PENANApTvvhQKTNC
717Please respect copyright.PENANAG0rrLr9lFh
She nods to him still a little dazed. His eyes betray a smile. He lets out a breath.
717Please respect copyright.PENANApk13jD3Nug
MAN: What do we call you!
TROY: You can call me…Lightguy…
717Please respect copyright.PENANAlIONsY4505
Troy takes off and all that can be seen is a streak of lightning going through the city. The people al l watch the blue bolt fade away and look at Lindsey.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAp1LXADsoqp
CROWD: Do you know him?717Please respect copyright.PENANAaC8MjzwhXn
LINDSEY: No…
717Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7oGkkdGhO
LOCATION: New Oxford College
Troy puts his suit away and smiles to himself. He had saved the girl…then he frowned…Lightguy saved the girl. Troy was going to have to come up with a way to outdo the speedster in blue and black.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAuvCQNluOPy
TROY: Oi.
