It had been five whole years since Janus had been made a speedster. An while he was in his transformation he had mentally and physically adopted the body of a above average athletic eighteen year old teen. Janus's surroundings in the speed-force hadn't changed at all it was still as dark and dreary as it had been when the speed-force had first been created zillions of years ago along with the multi-verse. But suddenly for the first time something had happen'd a portal in the sky had been produced by the speed force above Janus's unconscious form. A lightning bolt had stuck down over Janus's body lighting up his scar blood red making him disappear from the speed-force entirely. In Gotham a storm cloud had appeared in the bright clear sky  sending a red bolt of lightning into a ally way below causing the ground to shake. The tremors were so severe that all of Gotham could feel them. As the lightning dispersed a fully suited up eighteen year old Janus laid on the floor. He wasn't conscious physically but mentally was. He was conscious of the speed force around him. For five earth years he had been stuck in his mind scape. But during that time there was one voice that kept him company. That voice was his fathers the only voice guiding him and teaching him all he needed to know on how to use his powers.

Janus soon you will return to your timeline and when you do we will finally be reunited. Seek me out and the truth will be revealed to you as everything you know is not what it seems to be. But you my child are destined to be my legacy." His father said rather cryptically. He had gotten use to his fathers cryptic way of speaking a long time ago. It wasn't the same cheerful and happy voice that he knew five years ago. It was more ominous and calculative something that took a while to get use to. Janus didn't know how his father could speak to him from within the speed-force. When Janus asked his father why they were able to talk telepathically his father said that he had been exposed to the speed force for a great amount of time and gained abilities from the speed force. Janus knew something in his dad's explanation didn't add up, but he never really cared just as long as he could talk to his father while in his mind. At the snap of his fathers invisible hands a bolt of lightning had struck Janus's body and Janus's mind went black.

Janus's POV

I opened my eyes quickly closing them due to the bright sun in my eyes..wait the sun !! I quickly got up zooming to my feet. This shocked me a little causing me to collide with the dumpster in the ally way. I was even more surprised at what i saw. I had grown from a five feet tall child to a six foot two adult. And best of all the speed-force had given me a suit just like my fathers. But instead of red and yellow the suit was a shadowy black with a blood red lightning bolt in the middle and a white circle around the lightning bolt completing the emblem on my chest. I looked around seeing that i was alone deciding this was the perfect chance to test out my speed. I got into a running start up position. I could feel red lightning coursing around my body. I looked straight ahead to the end of the alleyway at the street. I channeled my lightning at my feet before bolting out of the ally way and into the streets of Gotham. As i ran it was like everyone was moving in slow-mo. I ran past parked cars causing there windshields to shatter due to my take off. Running at in human speeds was the best feeling i had ever experienced. While i ran everything had seemed to sloe down exponentially. People cars and even the clouds were slowed down. It was like i was in my own universe and i was god. While i was running there was one car that was going faster then the others. It was a rather expensive looking red Lamborghini. I looked into the drivers seat and saw a ten year old kid behind the wheel and a seventeen year old in the passenger seat. Yup Gotham was definitely weirder then Central city. I picked up speed passing the car easily. I had ran twenty laps around the island circling my way back the way i came. And once again i saw the red Lamborghini again but this time it was being chased by a police car. Right in front of the Lamborghini was a old lady out in the street. If i didn't save the lady she would definitely be a stain on the floor. "Time to be a hero" I muttered to myself feeling red lightning course through my eyes. As i raced down the street time slowing to were everything almost stopped around me . I ran using the cop car as a platform to run on and propel my self in the air. Landing on the Lamborghini i ran to the women taking her by the neck and back making sure she didn't pass out from the G's i was emitting with my speed or worse snap her neck. I took her to the other side of the street and on the side walk. Time went back to normal and the car zoomed passed but not without me catching the eyes of the seventeen year old in the passenger seat. I had a feeling i wouldn't be seeing the last of those two. The cop car stopped in front of us and a young officer came out. "Mam are you ok ?" The young officer asked running out of his vehicle and stopping in front of us. "Yes i am thanks to Kid Flash over here". She said looking up at me. The officer looked at me with a calculating look. "Can i speak with you for a moment sir ?, The officer asked me. "Sure" I said not being worried in the slightest by the officers glare. We walked into a ally way the cop taking lead. He stopped and then whipped around throwing a syringe at my leg. I dropped down on one knee in pain from injection. I injected you with a speed dampener, now who the hell are you and why are you posing as Kid Flash he's been dead for five years. The cop said glaring daggers down at me. My eyes widened at what i had just heard i was to shocked to formulate words. The cops glare softened and he kneeled down putting a hand on my shoulder.
