The Flash: Eyon Of The Speed Force

Chapter 4 - Inside The Speed Force Part I

Axxel stirred awake to the peaceful noise of birds chirping, water rushing, and a noisy silence that could only be nature in its purest form. It was exactly as Axxel imagined heaven would sound like, so he didn't even bother to open his eyes, just indulging in the feeling of absolute bliss.

Of course, Axxel's memories of the Omniversal War had remained intact, and judging by his life as Axxel Crawford, he knew that his sacrifice in the war was probably what got him into the Heaven of today.

Apparently, one good deed could save someone from damnation.

Admittedly, one of the greatest feats of Axxel's life was juggling ten girlfriends simultaneously for three years, two months, and seven days – not the kind of act that would – or should – get someone into Heaven.

"A reward well-earned," Axxel grabbed a fistful of grass and moaned like an orgasming woman.

Still, the sensation of Heaven didn't last very long. The pungent scent of something deeply unpleasant assaulted Axxel's nostrils.

"What the heck!" Axxel cursed the Heavens and lifted himself from the ground, but the more he tried to get up, the more he sunk into the squishy mud-like substance beneath him. It smelled a lot like –

"SHIT!" Axxel cursed and opened his eyes to a body covered in brown goo. "Aww, sheesh! It got in my mouth again!"

Axxel rolled in the turd, clutched at his throat, and spat until he began puking his guts out. The mere thought that he was dreaming about Heaven while covered in poop, churned his guts into a near-oblivion state.

And, of course, it had to be a truckload of poop.

"Where am I?" Axxel rubbed his head, uncaring about smearing more poop on his already poop-saturated forehead. He was still alive, or maybe, he was in Hell – anything was yet to be determined.

Massive trees stretched for as far as the eyes could see, large creatures – small due to the distance from Axxel – flew through the skies unhindered, and it quickly became obvious to Axxel that this was neither Heaven nor Hell – or even Earth for that matter.

The green glowing shrubs and plentiful vines covering the ground gave an impression of an Ancient Jungle, but the massive trees indicated a forest of some kind – if forests could appear so bizarre.

Two contradictory states of vegetation that seemed alien in origin, but if such was the case, and this was indeed some Alien World – when would Axxel make it back home?

Wherever home was at that!

Any halfwit fan of the DCEU or DC comics would know the Multiverse was infinite, and that meant an infinite number of Worlds where Axxel could be trapped, and each of such worlds was equipped with its own dangers.

"Sometimes..." Axxel pressed his head into his hands, wondering if his knowledge was worth the hopelessness it invoked in his heart. "knowing is just as bad as not knowing some things."

'One step at a time,'

Axxel slowly crawled out of the huge poop, trying his best to imagine it was a cloud of cotton candy instead. Looking around, a closer examination revealed extinct Flora and Fauna, with smaller critters that glowed a variety of colors.

Sometimes, they would also flicker with traces of electricity.

Everything in sight was either small, weird, or extremely beautiful – in an ugly sort of way. Then again, Axxel wasn't exactly someone to judge the beauty of something, especially considering the fact he had yet to see his own reincarnated features in their entirety.
