Running... (BNHA x The Flash Male OC)

Chapter 45: Stalemate

My head rung out in pain as my eyes began opening. The moment my body bagn to move, pain shot through my body like a deep and unstoppable throb. The only thing I could do was hiss. 

The moment I made the noise, I had Kana, Nagato and Evan next to me. "Dylan... Can you hear me?" I wasn't able to respond from the god awful throbbing in my head. "Dylan" Kana said in slight panic. "Kana, give him a check up. Evan run diagnositics" Nagato ordered sternly. 

Evan quickly and franically began typing on his device, looking at the readings of my suit. "C-Can't we give him anything?!" He wondered and Kana shot back with a agressive reply. "His Metabolism will just burn through it!" 

My eyes began closing once more until I fell unconscious...

.....

Days passed and I healed eventually. John had come into the room worried sick about me. The next few days were spent prodominately in bed. Kana watched over me for the first day, while Evan remained in the room with me, keeping me company. 

Amelia was lied to about me... According to her, I received a nasty stomach bug that hindered me from doing anything. Kana said that all my nerves on my body were practically fried. Like they rapidly tore themselves apart, making it impossible move without extreme pain. 

On the final day of our little trip, after many marathons finished while watching them with Evan. I was able to move around though using my speed was near impossible. Nobody really talked about what happened, mostly just saving it until we got back to Japan. 

Though I retrieved the Tachyon Device...

All Nagato said about my little comeback was it was like my Mind gave up and whatever lurked deep within my cells just kicked into overdrive. My cells weren't holding an electrical current, they were basically made of energy. My Dark Matter Level spiked significantly and dangerously. My body just wasn't able to handle the strain. 

Though on the final day of the trip, I was able to look at my phon ewhere I saw an old voicemail from Katsuki. It was sent two days prior to our final day. I held the phone to my ear, listening to his words. "Hey..." He remained silent for a few. "I... I just wanted to say... Fuck... How do I say this?..." He muttered with irrirtation along with multiple profanities until the call was cut off. 

I clicked the next voicemail, "Dumb Fucking Voicemail! Cutting me off! Why the hell do they have shitty timers? Such a dumb design..." He recentered himself. "Anywa-" The call cut out again. There was one final voicemail that made me smile at his determination. This call was more than 10 minutes later.

"It's fucking me again... Listen, I-I just wanted to say..." I could feel his insecurity in his voice. Something so unlike what everyone sees. "I miss you... G-Get back here soon. Also, stay safe, idiot... I lo-" He cut himself off aburptly. Restarting quite gingerly. "See you later, Dee" The call ended and it cheered me up massively as I placed the phone down. 

.....

The ride back to Japan was just as long as the ride to the Island. David Shield and his daughter waved us off. Though many wondered how two speedsters so easily entered the facility, they were investigating. 

The ride was mostly in silence, I played chess with Nagato, getting better and better with every game. When the plane finally landed, it was good to be home. As I walked through the terminals, Nagato called a Cab back to Haven Labs where Evan and Kana followed. 

I stood around as my Uncle waited for Amelia's ride to arrive. They said their farewells, though I quickly caught a glimpse of Amelia making a move on my Uncle. I stood still, grinning happily for him as they held the moment for a good 10 seconds. John stood there frozen with a grin on his face. "I'll call you, John" She stepped into the car as John watched her vehicle drive off. 

Sighing, I reached my Uncle. "Ready to go home or are you gonna continue thinking about a fantasy where that didn't end?" John hummed in humor as I saw him happily smile. "Yeah... Let's go" 

Looking around, I flashed out of the area with my Uncle before anyone could notice us...

Dropping my Uncle off and unpacking, along with resting for a few, I went off to Haven Labs. Entering the cortex in Speedster Fashion, I walked to the desk where Nagato, Evan and Kana were observing the device before them. "So, what have you found?" I leaned on the railing. 

Nagato tinkered alongside Evan, looking at the specs. "The shell is slightly damaged though I think I know how Surge has been making his Serum. The last batch he made was highly enhanced from the Tachyon Device" Well, that explains how much faster his was. 

"So, do you think it can be useful?" I wondered and Kana raised an eyebrow. Nagato smirked, "Actually, I believe we can repurpose the Tachyon Device to better suit your body. All we need to do it repair the device and rework the system so it sends Tachyons into you other than outward" 

Stepping back, I looked around... "How long do you think this'll take?" 

"A few days or so..." Nagato said with a shrug. 

That's when Ryan walked in with a table. Looking far more comfortable in the lab. "We stablise the Tachyons... Using your Energy Signature, we can potentially merge the particles into your system, multiplying your current speed" 

"By how much?"

Ryan smiled in excitement, "I dunno... We'll have to test it when it's ready" 

I breathlessly huffed in amazement... My battle with Surge wasn't a failure. It was a Stalemate. This could be what I need to strengthen my powers and get faster. Fast enough to stop him...
