Chapter 3 - not very heroic

He looks down at his hands as the sheer weight of his powers is grasped.

"This changes everything, i could make enough money to take care of them and they would never have to worry!" He exclaimed.

As he was about to test his speed on his way home he overheard a conversation on the other side of the wall.

"Please i beg you find him, ill even pay you everything in my bank account just bring him to me!" A woman cried as she clung to a mans black jacket.

"Tch im a bounty hunter i ain't cheap, and even if you could afford my baseline price this guys been free for weeks, he could be on the other side of the world. For this case you'd hafta pay atleast a hundred grand." He said as he kicked the woman off himself.

"W-well i have seventy grand in my bank account and- and i can get a loan for the rest!" She exclaimed.

A moment later he appears with a gust of wind with a silver steel colored balaclava and blue sunglasses both stolen from a conveniance store a few blocks away.

"No need, I'll do it for only a couple grand." He said as he stood up from his stopping stance.

"Get the fuck outta here kid, this is adult stuff." The man barked as he turned to walk away.

"I dont take kindly to pompous dicks." He said as he appeared in front of thr man from a blur.

"Ah you're one of those metahuman's right?" The old lady asked.

"I believe so ma'am." He answered.

"Good ill pay you whatever price you set!" She exclaimed.

"I only need a couple thousand, i need to feed my brother and sister." He replied.

"Oh and you're a good boy... just like my grandson was..." She said as she remembered why she was there.

"Explain the job to me." He said as he sat doen on a crate nearby.

"About a month ago my daughter found her son, my grandson dead in his room. It was an overdose, but Jason was a good boy he never had any interest in drugs beforr this. We had always made sure to teach all the childten in our family the dangers of drugs but i know who did it. When we searched his room we found his diary and in it he wrote about how his friends had been pressuring him into drugs but one of them actually handed him the drugs. Its Tom miller, his best friend or so he thought." She explained.

"Is there a nickname exclusively Jason used when tslking to Tom?" He asked.

"He callled him Tommy, everyone else called him Tom." She answered.

"Lastly i need your adress, when i capture him i'll bring him right to you." He said.

"Oh yes yes." He said as she wrote down her adress handing it to the speedster.

He disappears in a blur running several blocks in less than a second. As he's running he remembers stuff.

(Yeah i remember, this was on the news some time ago... Jason and Tom have two other friends, lets go pay them a visit)

He twist and turns through the streets and cars stopping at an expensive two story house with green and red L.E.Ds shining in the bedroom window.

"Festive." He said before running into the house.

A few minutes later a girl walks out of the bathroom with a towel around her body and another on her head as steam wafts out. She grabs the doorknob to her room but gets stopped by her mother calling for her to take the trash out.

"Jenny! Take out the trash!" Her mom yelled.

"Augh, why!" She huffed.

"Because i said so!" Her mom called back.

"I literally just took a shower, can't you do it!" She complained.

"Like how i do every thing else in the house!?" Her mom yelled.

"Bu-" she gets cut off.

"Jenny!" She huffs as she storms down stairs.

"God this chick is slow." The speedster complained as he lounged around on her bed.

(Man i wish my bed was this comfortable)

Some time later she opens the door and closes it behind herself still looking down at her phone. She goes to sit down on her bed but jumps right back up as she felt someone below her.

"You should really look up from your phone every now and then." He chuckled.

She tries to scream for help but before she can even utter a word he appears as a blur, hand over her mouth.

"Ah ah ah i have some information i need to get out of you, are you gonna play nice or fight?" He asked.

She however is unable to form words as she screams into his hand and tears stream down her eyes. He plucks the phone out of her hand and looks at the screen.

"Well if you're unable to give me the information i need maybe your phone will give it to me." He said as he began scrolling through her phone.

He scrolls through her messages with Jason and finds out they were dating. He continued to scroll and eventually found her messages with Tom. However when he looked into that chat history it sickened him.

"You were cheating on your boyfriend with his bestfriend drug dealer and murderer!?" He exclaimed as the act sickened him.

Her panting quickened and her eyes reddened as he found out.

"You're a sick bitch... i hope Jason comes back to haunt your ass, but i gotta go hunt down Tom." He said as he left in a blur.

He rushed down the streets to his next target.

"When i was looking through her phone i noticed that both Tom Jason and their final friend all worked at McDonald's, im freling hungry." He said as he arrived at the red and yellow themed building.

A moment later a blur of wind rushes through the building and one of the workers finds himself on the train tracks behind his work.
