Young Justice x OC Book 2

Chapter 5: Weird Energy "Impulse"

The day started as usual working out before I went to work. That was until a speedster zoomed by me. "Wally"? I asked before he went back the other way, he was going too fast to be Wally but he was too short to be the Flash. I raced after him and back into the command room where he was splayed out on the floor. "Looks like I'm going to be late for work". I sighed.

"Now that was crash". Nightwing said cuffing him.

"For you maybe I am tottally feeling the mode". The unknown speedster groaned.

"You're a tourist from the future"? Robin asked skeptically.

"Why so surprised"? He asked. "Half the meat at Comic-Con are from my era. Look, look, look, guys we should all be friends. I'm really one of you. Part of the heroic legacy, right? My name's Bart Allen. You know, grandson of Barry Allen the flash". He told us.

"Noted. Not believed, but noted". Garfield told him.

"What's not the believe"? Bart asked. "I've clearly got Flash's speed, his amazing good looks. Frankly I can't wait to meet him! Uh, you know, back in his prime". Bart explained and I continued to give him a skeptical look.

"Well, Bart coming all the way from the future you must have worked up quiet a thirst". Nightwing said bringing him water.

"Thanks". Bart said taking a drink. "Oh, ah, you're trying to get a DNA sample. You need my spit". He said before spitting into the cup. "Ha that is such a Dick Grayson thing to do". He chuckled.

"How did"? Tim asked

"See I know stuff only future boy would know! Dick Grayson, Tomika Fransisco, Tim Drake and Garfield Logan". Bart said and i went a little wide eyed.

"Your name's Tim? And yours is Dick"? Garfield asked the Bat-family bros.

"Oops, spoilers. This secret identity thing is so retro you can call me Impulse or Bart or Bart Allen or Bart Impulse Allen it's all crash". Bart "Impulse" Allen told us.

"Is it possible he might actually be telling the truth? Could he really be from the future"? Tim asked.

"Tell us something we don't know yet". Garfield ordered. "When do I become leader of the team? When do I join the Justice League? When do I get my own reality series"? Garfield asked and I pushed him away.

"Sorry, BB. Never was the best history student. Besides we can't risk altering the time stream. We do that we're all feeling the mode". Bart explained.

"And the mode would be bad"? Gar asked.

"Doesn't get any worse. Always better to  crash the mode". Bart told him.

"Uh... noted". Gar said. I reached down and removed Bart's goggles to get a better look at him. He was oddly familiar he did look like Barry an awful lot.

The computer started to chime in. "Recognized. Malcolm Duncan, A-1-0". It said and I

"Ooh sounds like a door opening somewhere. And that's my cue! Bye bye"! Bart said taking off. Before I could blink he was gone.

"Don't worry the peregrine falcon is the worlds fastest bird. He won't get away". Beast Boy told us transforming.

"Doesn't stand a chance does he"? I asked.

"Nope. impulse is too fast. But at least we can track him". Nightwing said.

"I'm already late good luck folks". I chuckled heading back to my room.

When I came back out to leave for work Tim confronted me. "Tomika you could just be employed to work for the League you know? You're over qualified as is as an assistant". He told me.

"You're sweet, if there's a real position I will gladly apply for it otherwise I don't want one created for me. Behave bye". I said Zetaing away.

Work was work. Until the Flash came on screen. "Guy isn't careful this is going to end royally bad". Andy said fiddling with a tech glove he was working on in his free time. "Is that, that old speedster? And the Kid Flash". He said making me tune in.

"There's four". Someone else pointed out.

Bart and Wally? "It's too hard to tell sometimes Flash looks like he's in two places at once". I reminded them. I got out my phone to text Dick when my boss got my attention.

"Leave the villain to the pros Francisco. The boss wants to talk to you". Greg told me.

"As in Mr. Wayne"? I asked.

"Precisely. I think you're over due for your promotion". He told me.

I went to Bruce's office and knocked on the door. "You wanted to see me Mr. Wayne"? I asked.

"Ms. Fransisco have a seat". He told me I sat in the chair across from him. "I want to offer you a position working on technology for the Team in the future when you graduate college for the League as well. Your expertise is undeniable, the company would foot for your tuition to get your doctorate on top of your salary". He explained to me. "Pay roll will go over the technical steps. If you accept that is". I was about to catch flies I couldn't close my mouth. Timothy that cheeky boy.

"Yes sir! I don't know what to say besides yes"! I told him putting out a hand for him to shake. "I mean besides thank you". I told him and he smiled faintly.

"You're welcome. You'll get some paper work detailing what to tell others about this position soon. I'll have Tim bring them to you it was he and Dick's idea to engage your potential with your passion". He told me I practically flew out of the room. I almost left the building before remembering I had to finish my work day. Payroll gave me my start date and starting salary it was more than I was currently making by 12k and I had a spending budget for equipment and supplies. Every engineer's dream.
