 Around me, six of the best and brightest men and women would soon lose their lives to the Null Bomb. Everyone was going to die, except for The Immortal. Being immortal was kinda his thing.

 Beads of sweat drip down my chin. My heart beats hard and fast, as if it was about to burst out of my chest. I am pretty sure that most of the blood soaking through my jumpsuit belongs to me.

 They called me the fastest man ever; I told them I cheated to get there. Officially I'm a'Temporal Flow Manipulator', but everybody just called me Dash. It was n't without it's drawbacks, I'm a 22 year old with the body of a 40 year old, but in hindsight none of that matters now.

 Ray, Flamedancer, Zeroth, Iron, Zap, JD and Immortal. They were the best team a country kid who fell into an alien crash site and got time manipulation powers could ever hope for. They were the best goddamn heroes, charging in and sealing off the Null Bomb to protect the city.
