The Demon, the Wizard and the Swan (On Hold)

The life of a speedster

Boa: And you're sure this happened after you opened the ball

Susan: Yes

Luke: Maybe its a reaction to something

Susan: Can a reaction do this?

She speeds to the nearest shop and gets them flowers

Luke: Nah, we didn't see you move

Boa: Totally. Pretty sure you hid the flowers there. Swan are you OK?

Susan: Goshhhhh!!!

She storms off to her room leaving the men confused. What was happening to her? Was she really losing her mind? It had been two days since she opened the mysterious object and she had been doing strange things. Things you would only see in movies. For starters, she was super fast. Like way too fast that no one could see her move and the worst part was that she couldn't control it so she had to walk or run carefully so as to not trigger it. She had told Boa and Luke about it when she saw what she could do but they waved it off as nothing. It was frustrating when the only one who understood was Crona and he was inside her. They could only communicate by thought and he was trying his best to help her with her new found powers

Susan: So how is it that I can do all this amazing stuff?

Crona: Well, I have one theory and that is us

Susan: I don't understand

Crona: Well, you see, we're from the planet Omagi. And in that planet everyone is born a speedster.

Susan: So you're trying to say that when I let all of you get into my body, you not only bonded with me, but gave me your powers?

Crona: Not just our powers, but our experience and intelligence as well.

Susan: Which means I know what you know and you know what I know. That seems cool. You know you could have told me that when you get into a host, you can't leave unless it dies or you found your planet

Crona: Well, if I had told you that, you wouldn't have let us stay now, would you?

Susan: Touché. Well, how come you're the only one who gets to talk, what about the others?

Crona: They were the experiments I was working on back in Omagi. They are not really, how do you say this on earth. They are not real. They are more like robots but I used Omagi technology to bring back super Omagi soldiers that had died during battle.

Susan: Isn't that like illegal? Because I know that over here, bringing back the dead can only be done through black magic and it is considered not only dangerous but very wrong.

Crona: It is illegal. I just wanted to see if I could harness their powers and use it for the greater good of my people, but I guess I was wrong. I should have let the dead have peace. I was caught and banished with my creations into the abyss of despair but somehow I got knocked off course and here I am on your planet. It took us a hundred and twenty years to get here

Susan: Woah! Are you serious? So how'd you survive that long without food or water?

Crona: Oh we don't need those. All we need is a host. Listen, I've done so many bad things but I'm willing to change. I'll help you learn to control these abilities. With my intelligence and these creatures speed and strength you would be unstoppable and even considered a hero of some sort. If you don't let out our secret to anyone.

Susan: I only told Boa and Luke because I thought they'd believe me

Crona: But they didn't. We have to work on this together. We don't need anybody else.

Susan: Alright.

Little by little, she got stronger. She was now faster than sound and she was working to be faster than light. She trained so hard that she started to develop new powers, like her anti gravity punch which had the ability to stop everything from moving within five miles of her vicinity. She also learnt how to be invisible when she runs, how to run on air, how to go through objects and how to channel the Omagi soldiers strengths through her own body. She used her powers to stop robberies, and save people from explosions and accidents. Just as every good hero would have it, not everybody approved of her good deeds. There was Officer Bob who worked for the states police force. He didn't like the hero doing his work for him. He believed that only officers of the law were allowed to stop crime and not vigilantes or so called heroes. He wasn't alone in that thought for King William also didn't like the female hero. He had heard in the news about heroes popping out from different parts of the world. Dermot and Paul from Europe. He had given statements about how glad he was that the freaks were not on the island and how great they were without them. And now reported sightings of a hero running around the state saving people from danger and stopping robberies were everywhere. He didn't hide his displeasure about the heroes acts and called the hero out on so many occasions, asking for it's identity to be unmasked if it was really there to help. Susan was confused at how people could dislike her when all she did was help the helpless. She didn't hide her feelings when her dad brought up the topic during dinner

James: I don't know why people even look up to her. She is just another magician or demon that has come to mask their true intention by pretending to help people.

Elizabeth: I heard she stopped the flaming fire gang and whisked them away to the station. They say she's very fast and can't be seen by cameras.
James: How do we know it's a she? Even so, she is a phoney. Just like that Wizard and Demon that has been going viral on the internet. All of them, masking their identities. What do you think honey?

Elizabeth: Well, if she's for the good of the people, we'll know soon enough.

James: I agree with that. What about you pumpkin?

She looked up at her dad. She wasn't ready for this. She had been praying silently that the topic would slide over and they would talk about something else, but it seemed that her father was too obsessed with the masked female hero.

Susan: I think she's doing a great job saving people from harm

From the look in her father's eyes, she knew that was the wrong statement. He was clearly disappointed in her.

James: A masked menace appears out of nowhere and tries to be a hero. You know very well she isn't going to be a hero.

Susan: Dad, why do you hate her so much? She has done nothing wrong

Now he was shocked at her reply. She didn't want to be on the defensive but she was tired of hearing about his hatred for the hero. What would be his reaction if he found out that his daughter was the masked menace.

James: I don't hate her. I just... If she had come earlier maybe your brothers would still be here.

She thought about this and found out how true it was. What if she had gotten the powers before her two brothers had died, would she have changed anything?

James: I just don't want people keeping their hopes on a creature that bleeds like you and I. Only God has our fate in his hands and only him do we rely on for our help. I don't like her and I think she needs to go back to the hole that she's crawled out from.
