Hi, my name is DJ. I live in a place where super powers are a rare thing, but I have them. Now before I get this started I just want to say that this is not a love story, or some story of a life changing event. I stopped a guy with some other peoples help. I'm just here to explain what happened during all of it.

It all started some years ago, 14 years ago. I was living a relatively normal life in Plainfield Illinois. I lived in a house away from all the other houses but across the street from my school so I Knew the people who lived in the neighborhood a couple streets down. I was of course, living with the secret of my power, which I haven't told you yet, is speed. I thought I was the only one with powers but I was wrong, very wrong.

One night I was hanging out with two of my bestfriends, Rayne and Deniz. Rayne has light skin with hair that's really thick. Deniz is a metal head with a Jean jacket he always wears. We were at a park throwing rocks in a pond and planning a movie that Rayne wanted to film. Then, the worst thing that could have happened, did. Some guy had a m9 pistol pointed straight at us.
"Empty you pockets", He said nervously.
"Sir, I don't think you want to do this," I said. "Your nervous about this, I don't think you can pull the trigger."

I put my head by the gun. I could feel the gun shaking against my forehead. It was shaking violently.
"Look kid just gimme your money," he said.
He was sweating, even though I had backed away from the gun. Then, he pulled the trigger. I couldn't let it hit one of them and I couldn't let it hit me. I can't catch a bullet so I grabbed Deniz and Rayne and got them out of the way, then I ran back and turned the gun on the man.
"Run," I said.
"W-wha, How did you do that?" Deniz asked, scared and werided out.
"Um, I can run?" I said, even though it sounded more like a question.
" I have a lot of explaining to do, don't I?" I asked.

So after explaining what I can do and how it happened I finally explained it.
Then someone started to clap.

"That was a great way to explain that you can run extremely fast," the man said.
He was wearing a gray suit and had bond hair that was in a spiky style. He had sun glasses that were tinted red with silver frames. He walked towards us with a limp in his step.
"You are not the only person with powers here." He said.
Part 2 coming sometime or never.
