1 Speed, I am Speed

"Hi, I'm Chris and I'm the fastest man alive, and I also have huge muscles and everyone loves me!"

Chris woke up, sweating profusely, from a nightmare, "What was that? Why was I a big ball of muscles?"

"I need water, get my head clear" thought the 16 year old boy to himself, as he stood up from his bed, Thwoooop, memories came rushing into his mind, thought's about speed, the wind blowing by your face, and the feeling of running away from your problems.

At the same time, memories of movies, came into his mind as well, a man with a red flying suit, a man who can shrink, a time bending wizard, and a man who swings like Tarzan and many more.

Chris thought to himself, "Tony stark? that name sounds familiar? but Iron man, not so much" Chris thought these were just fragments from his dream, not the muscle one, the other ones...

"I'm not tired anymore, ill just go for a jog, lets hope Mom and Dad are still asleep" Said Chris quietly to himself, he took the key a key, put it in his pocket, and went outside, for his jog.

As he got outside, he started jogging towards a nearby park, "Huh, was the park always this close?" Chris made it to the park in 4 minutes, where it would usually take 10 "Well, I'm here, Its a weekend, and everybody is asleep, So if I Sprint around, get home sweaty and late, no one can be mad at me"

Chris got into a running position, "On my mark, get set, Go!"

----- 1st person POV -----

Huh? This speed, this feeling, its like from this morning when I woke up.

Everything looks so different, so slow.

Wait, its not slow, I'm fast, my brain is working so fast, everything else looks so slow, but why am I running at normal speed, I should probably stop running.

BOOM

I stop running, a strong current of wind, flies past me, "Am I super fast?" I'm starting to remember something similar, A man in a red suit, with lightning coming out of him as he runs at supersonic speeds, but from where is this memory?

I go into another starting position, I close my eyes and whisper to myself, "Speed, I am Speed" man that movie is an animation classic, but never mind that, Lets start running!

As I start running, I feel hot, my feet start hurting, my shoes are ruined, dammit.

I run home, at breakneck speeds, leaving behind an afterimage of myself, kinda, Its a very blurry stretched afterimage I might say.

I get home, and sneak to the living room, I turn on the news and I remember.

"Its been a week since Playboy, Genius, Billionaire and owner of Stark Industries, Tony Stark, has gone missing, what do you think about this Valerie"

"Well Bob.."

"Tony Stark, Is the name from my dream? Did I see the Future? Holy-Moly!" I said to myself, If what I saw was true, does this mean, tony stark is going to build a suit, beat up terrorist's, and be later found in Afghanistan?

So, let me get this straight, I am super fast, I saw a movie in my dream, and that movie showed the future?

"That means, super heroes are gonna be a thing soon, and I got the power to be a Hero"

I thought to myself, I need to get ready to protect my parents in three or four years, during the alien invasion, If it ever rally happens, "I am fast-man, no that name sucks, Speed king? nah that a song, wait I got it, Godspeed! yeah I like that name" as I finish my sentence, a blueprint appears in my head, on the blueprint there is a suit, a superhero suit, White and Gold in color, built to survive in high speed, "I will be, Godspeed
