[ WP ] Your superpower of hyper-speed is always on . Minutes take hours from your perspective and has always been like that for the centuries you 've lived .

Just before midnight on January 1st 2017, James had been an ordinary man. However he was chosen as the target by the pantheon to receive 1 life altering wish. James thought long and hard, what could he want. He was a comic fan all of his life, and thought about his favourite superheroes. Then he thought selfishly for a minute. 
 
 Perhaps precognitive abilities to predict the football scores, or the lottery numbers? How about the ability to always have whatever money is needed for any sit, readily in his pocket or bank account. How about super strength, to be as strong as Superman? How about the abilities of Aquaman? Or the abilities and intelligence of Batman? Or the speed of The Flash. 
 
 He made his decision and was returned to the exact time and place from where he left. He was bemused, checking his watch and trying to test his ability, but it failed. He put it down to a day dream and continued his walk home. Upon getting there he was exhausted and fell to bed. 
 
 00:00:00001 James wakes up from his sleep. Looking at the time he figures it's a toilet break, so James gets up and goes to the bathroom, and saw his lightbulb flickering, but there was enough light to use the toilet. He urinated with such force that he put a hole in the toilet. This was his speed coming through. He did n't realise that this was just the beginning of his problems. 
 
 He went back to bed, and fell asleep. Not realising he was now having a lay in. He woke up fully refreshed, and looked at his watch. 00:00:00 was showing. In reality it was 00:00:00004. He was fully refreshed and did n't need any more sleep so he got up. He tries to turn on his phone and thinks the battery is flat, so he puts it on charge and goes downstairs. 
 
 Not realising the speed he is walking, he is leaving a friction trail in the air and can see particles of clothes and skin in a loose pattern behind him. He's realised, his wish for the speed of The Flash has come true, but it's backfired. He had no idea how to turn the ability off. 
 
 Realising he has no way to cook food in a way that could satiate his hunger, and he is pretty hungry, he walks to the nearest open takeaway shop and gets food from behind the counter. He leaves change on the side to pay for the food. He sits outside and eats it, wondering what the time is. Its 00:00:00005. 
 
 He works out that for every hour that passes for him, a hundred thousandth of a second passes for everyone else. He's trapped in a time frame that nobody else can understand. 
 
 He goes home to think. Realising he can never speak to his friends again, he takes a pencil and paper and explains to his loved ones the problem. 
 
 James spends the next few years of his life reading. He reads the works of Shakespeare cover to cover, and has read enough medical books to become a world expert in health. For him, 10 years have passed, for the world it's been 14.61 seconds. 
 
 He has worked out that what he eats and drinks, his body metabolises at normal speed, and his body does n't use food and drink as an energy source any further, it uses ionising radiation which is ever present on earth. No doubt a gift from the pantheon, along with the fact that his breathing is no longer mandatory as it is for another human. A single breath in for him can last upto 20 years at his normal metabolism rate. So he sets himself reminders to breath in and out every 2 years, and then carries on. Oddly however, his healing is improved, his immune system has a defense for everything and he does n't age, or atleast not noticeably. 
 
 James realises it's going to centuries, if not millenia before anyone he knows wakes up, so he has time to read. He covers the length and breadth of The UK. Scouring every book he can get his hands on. By the time it is 6am, he is fluent in every language on the planet, or atleast in written form, and he has mastered all medical concepts, from massage to bone setting. He was the all round ultimate person. But he was desperately lonely. With nobody to turn too he wishes to speak to the pantheon. 
 
 They grant him the audience and he requests to be able to control his ability. They send him back to earth and everything is as before. Hyper speed and thr inability to contact anyone. 
 
 Millenia pass, and it gets to 23:59:59... the pantheon have made their decision.
