Prologue

Return

Speed Force

A red suited man woke up in a tube like environment that was yellow and red and had lightning striking everywhere on the ground. The red suited man was lying down on the ground and looked at his hands. There were red, gloves covering his hands. He wore a red, armored suit with a burgundy mask that had small, yellow lightning rods on the side of his head. There also was a yellow lightning symbol on his chest.

"Where am I?" The red suited man asked himself. "Who am I?"

The red suited man got up on his feet. He looked around. All he saw was the bolts of lightning that almost hit him. The red suited man dodged lightning bolts that almost hit his feet. He was hopping everywhere, trying his best not to get hit.

While he was dodging lightning bolts in front of him, lightning bolts from behind him hit him in the shoulder. The red suited man fell on his knees. After another lightning bolt hit him on his lower back, he put his hands in front of his chest on the ground and had his hands and knees hold his weight.

"No, no. Where am I!?" The red suited man yelled. "Someone please, HELP ME!"

Dozens of lightning bolts kept hitting his armored back, leaving black smoke marks on the red suited man's armor. The man was screaming from all the pain he felt. He thought he was going to die. The man looked up, in front of him, to see a black hole open up. The black hole wasn't absorbing him though. It was more like a portal to get him out of wherever the hell he was.

"What the hell?" The red suited man stated.

The red suited man got up as lightning still hit him all over his body. The man still felt the pain but he knew he had to get through the pain if he wanted to get to the portal. The man at first, walked towards the portal, then started running. The man started running at superhuman speeds and found himself at the portal in seconds.

The portal led him down a darkly lighten hole. The red suited man screamed as he fell. As the man fell, images started appearing on the black walls that were about ten feet away from him. Old memories, came back to his head.

The red suited man saw his mother's grave and his 12 year old self looking at it, crying. He also himself fighting criminals along with a Man of Tomorrow, a Dark Knight, an Amazon, an Emerald Knight, a King, a Last survivor, and Earth's Mightiest Mortal. The man also saw his wife, a red haired girl, who was beautiful. He remembered his history, he remembered his love. The man remembered his name, his powers.

"Iris." The red suited man cried.

The images went away. New, promising images appeared. Images of the same but older Man of Tomorrow, the same Amazon, Earth's Mightiest Mortal, a new Dark Knight, two New Gods, an Atom, a Warhawk, a Princess, a new Emerald Knight, and a female Speedster who wore the same emblem as him were shown to him. They were rescuing  citizens who were in terror from hostile aliens.

Then, those images went away. New, terrifying images were shown of many of these heroes dying. The New Gods were killed by a rocky being named Darkseid. The Warhawk and the Princess died in Apocalyptic Fires. The new Emerald Knight left Earth. The Atom was struck down by an assassin. Earth's Mightiest Mortal was killed destroying a nuclear weapon. Finally, the Man of Tomorrow was killed fixing that sun from turning into a white dwarf.

"Clark..." The red suited man said, "No, not Clark."

Through the ashes and deaths, a man who wore the same suit but yellow as the red suited man, rose above everyone. This man in the yellow suit, killed all political leaders and took over. He also killed the Female Speedster by running his hand through her chest. The man in the yellow suit wore a lightning bolt on his chest much like the red suited man but it was facing an opposite direction. The man in the yellow suit also had superhuman speed, similar to the red suited man.

"No, no! How could this all happen?!" The red suited man said as the end of the portal was approaching. "The Justice League, how could they fall?"

The red suited man arrived at a dystopian future. He had arrive in the year 2065. Skyscrapers were either destroyed or on fire. Ashes were in the black air. There were tanks patrolling the city. The red suited man fell on his knees. He saw the Reverse lightning bolt hanging on posters everywhere. The red suited man put his hands on his face.

"This cannot be the future."
