CRINGE WARNING: I wrote this when I was 11- so this is going to be pretty terrible at times and chapters will be SHORT as heck. But if you enjoy the basic ideas, head on over to my profile and check out Maximilian, an edited and improved version that I'm currently working on :)





 My life before I came to Mystic Academy wasn't.. what you would call.. normal. We lived in a apartment building along the coast of Rhode Island, like a normal family. But when it came time to start second grade, I was sent to a small building the Flash had bought when Payton was born. Originally, it was being used as a place where the speedsters would meet. When I was seven though, it was a time where the Reverse Flash was unusually at large. 


  The Reverse Flash, my father's true mortal enemy, had repeated the accident that granted him his powers, using groups of men, now known as the Reversers. Yes, original name i know. Because of this, the Flash sent me, Payton, and Katelyn to be taught here, beginning at 8:30 A.M. Every morning was the same routine since I was seven.


  "Dad, why do I have to go here every single day? It's just me, Pay, Katie, and Zip. I mean this place is super cool and all, but why?" 

"Maroon, it's only to protect all of you.. Until you're.. ready." 


"But dad.." I said, putting my hand on the glass wall that gave to a beautiful view of the city. The Flash sighed, looking out at the city. 


  "I would let you go to a public school, I would. Only if they hadn't come in to the city. After the Reverse Flash finished everything, he let them go loose. They were mad, Maroon, mad.. with all that power they had just been given.. all at once."


  "Mar! Mar! Look! Look what I can do!" Zip said, readying to punch the dummy. Zip was the same age as me, eight, four years before starting Mystic Academy. 


  "You can do it, Zip!" Katelyn said, smiling. Katelyn was thirteen, just starting her second year at Mystic Academy, tomorrow being her birthday. Zip's hand was just a blur, and in a second, the dummy's head was cut clean off, and had landed in Katelyn's hands. "Woah, Zip!" I said, running over and squeezing him. 


  "I'm so proud of you little bro!" "Hey-it was only 3 minutes! Don't squeeze me! Or my inside'll fall out!" I laughed, and let Zip go. Payton had been leaning against the wall, and checked her watch. Payton, at the time, had just started her second year at Mystic academy, being thirteen. 


  "It's time to go home dad, Katie, Zip, and Mar go get your stuff." Katie, Zip and I ran to the door. Payton ruffled our hair as we passed by, her smile growing larger each time. "Y'know what, dad? I'll think they'll do fantastic at Mystic Academy."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

  "C'mon, Zip! It's time! We gotta head out!" I said, shaking Zip in his bed. Zip's response was more.. snores. I shook him this time, super speeding- but not going anywhere. Zip's eye opened, and he yawned. 


  "Alright, Maroon, i'll get my stuff ready!" I nodded, running out of the room into the kitchen. "Morning, Maroon!" My mom said, ruffling my hair as I past. I smiled, hopping up on a seat at he kitchen table. "Mom's made pancakes, Mar!" Payton said, gulping up her orange juice. 


  Payton, now 18, starting her second year of Magi Academy. Magi Academy is basically the high school version of Mystic Academy, so Payton never minded the change anyway. "Eat up you two," My dad said, ruffling our hair, "It's your first year at Mystic Academy, and I expect you both to do equally as well as the other." 

  Katelyn looked up from her book and smirked. "You'll both love it," Katelyn was now 16, starting her first year at Magi Academy. My dad checked his watch, looking at the clock. "Alright. Maroon, Zippy, it's time we head out." My mom came over and kissed our foreheads, Katelyn and Payton ruffling our hair. 

  "Alright,"My dad said smiling. We were now out on the beach, in position to super speed to the academy. "Ready? Set?" Me and Zip nodded. "Go!" In a second me, my dad, and Zip had vanished, leaving my mom, Katelyn, and Payton back on the beach.
