Posted on December 16, 2011 (1 Day ago):
Today I almost died.
At 9 o'clock this morning, I was driving to work in my humble little car when suddenly, an alarm went off on my phone. To my utter horror, I was notified of the fact that a 7-foot-tall armoured Superhuman was rampaging the streets of New York.
Now normally, I wouldn't be so scared. After all, monstrous men are a common occurrence nowadays, and the Rhino isn't that scary if you know he's far away from you as he doesn't have that 'creep factor' that some of the other Rogues have.
He's just a really strong guy wearing a glorified Rhinoceros fursuit, after all.
But that's the problem, I could see the police trying to shoot him from where I was; the Rhino wasn't far away, not at all.
Understandably, I was shaking in my boots. Someone like Mike Tyson could remove me from my whole lineage, and the Rhino could do most definitely the same, but multiplied by ten!
Watching the news on my phone, I saw that Rhino was going through some massive buildings like he was kicking down sandcastles. Even more concerningly, he was making one of his bulldozing charges that even Spiderman couldn't stop...
And I was in his direction!
Where is Spiderman? I asked myself this question, but the answer was right before me. It was 9 in the morning, for god's sake! Spidey probably had a personal life besides donning the iconic mask, can't really blame him, right?
Luckily, there was someone else up to the job. Someone who, unlike Spiderman, probably didn't have a life; I don't know who he is!
Well, supposedly his name is 'Flash', I got a buddy in the NYPD and he said that the new guy introduced himself as the Flash. Now I don't know what to tell you, but he was absolutely not up for the job.
For context to what he looks like and what sort of powers he has, you can search his profile that Cape Compendium released, they already made it—which is damn fast, props to those guys.
Now to the meat and potatoes, I almost died. But not to the Rhino, but to the damn Flash.
This guy's whole stick is to be super duper fast, which I won't lie is very useful for being a hero. But while his body can seemingly resist the friction that would entail, it seems running around all the time might have rattled his brain.
Instead of just instantly taking care of the Rhino—I mean, come on, Flash literally has all the time in the world to think of the possible ways to stop him—he instead, spends his time seemingly trying to play around with the Rhino, rough him up, showing him who's boss.
Like some high school bully.
Motherfucker, this is not the playground. Whilst no one had died from Rhino's rampage, many were injured, and the damn property damage—It's no joke!
As for me, yours truly was stuck in the middle of heavy traffic.
And that's when it happened, the cars around me were suddenly losing control, one even almost crashed into me. Though luckily, I managed to avoid them by offroading my car onto the sidewalk.
It was a scene straight out of an action movie when I got out, like the aftermath of a terrorist attack.
Cars were flipped, the road was a mess, and I helped some people get out of their crashed vehicles, but to my confusion...
A lot of them didn't have people.
The reason why the cars lost control was because there was the people who were supposed to be controlling them were missing.
I didn't know what had happened has the time, but it seemed that the Flash had tried to evacuate the entire street by transporting all of the people away from the Rhino's line of sight.
Now, I don't know how he got inside those locked cars and transported the people out, but that is very much the wrong move.
He clearly couldn't accomplish that, which resulted in the record of the greatest amount of vehicular accidents in a day (in the US) being updated.
I get the intent but come on, man. I'm pretty sure this wouldn't have happened if you just didn't play around and got straight to business. You're not him, buddy.
Sincerely, a guy who is always at the right place and the wrong time.

► MadPalace, replied to OP:
Seems like some kid in over his head, lmao. Bet you he just got his powers recently and thinks he's a god because of it. Spiderman probably had the same first experience, but because his power isn't so large scale, we never saw it. (Hearted and Pinned by OP)
► Leon_luis, replied to @MadPalace:
Don't call out my man, Spidey like that. That's why he's the GOAT!
► OracleArmageddon, replied to OP:
Why are you always there to see it happen *Laughing Emoji* *Crying Emoji*
It's like God has a vendetta against you, bruh...
► WhatisObamafirstname, replied to @Leon_luis:
We got a Spider-simp over here, I thought we already established this, old man! He's a menace!
► jahmii, replied to OP:
There are way too many Supes now, I remember the days when we just had Captain America and the Mutants.
► Captain_DonaldDuck, replied to @jahmii:
It certainly was simpler back then, my friend. But you have to remember that now is way safer than Captain America's time. Sure, there might be more Superhumans, but that also means there are now more protectors. This Flash made a blunder, but I'm sure he has a good heart, I hope so.
► EANID, replied to @Captain_DonaldDuck:
Way safer than Cap's time? Yeah, maybe if you don't live in the States, lol.
► Bout_of_madness, replied to @WhatisObamafirstname:
Damn, that's crazy.
► TheAmazingParker, replied to @WhatisObamafirstname:
I know where you live, Markus.
► ReaderOfTheSword, replied to OP:
What the hell kind of name is The Flash??? He could have easily gone with something cooler. Like, I dunno; Godspeed!
Tells me everything I need to know about him, really...
► SilverSavant, replied to OP:
A Speedster? Damn, haven't seen one of those since the very cool and handsome guy from the Brotherhood...
► Lucifer_Dragneel, replied to @SilverSavant:
The Brotherhood of Mutants??? Wtf, are you a Nazi?
► Pool_of_Life, replied to OP:
The Flash? Damn, @MaryJackKill look at this!!!
► Apathy_Personified, replied to @SilverSavant:
Brother, what??? You really just said that, fr homie???
► MaryJackKill, replied to @Pool_of_Life:
I swear to god, if this is a triple inception, then we're in big trouble...
► You replied to @SilverSavant:
Please do not associate an unrelated Superhuman with the Brotherhood of Mutants. That goes against our community guidelines and may get your account suspended.
► SilverSavant, replied to You:
Ok, ok, chill. I was just trolling... *Praying hands Emoji*
► Fargocake, replied to OP:
I have a feeling this isn't the last time we'll be seeing the Flash, hope he grows a half-functioning brain next time.
► Ozzy6969, replied to OP:
Like some high school bully? Damn, I felt that in my pancreas.
On a real note, why did the Flash not just destroy Rhino's legs? I mean, that would be really painful, but at least Rhino wouldn't be a problem anymore without having to actually kill him...
Is he stupid???

--->Author's Note:
Thoughts?
Inspired by Worm's Parahumans Online, a lot of world-building and lore drops in this chapter. I had to look up so many wikis, man.
