Life in the Fast Track. Character: Speed, Magneto Setting: Genosha, Sunset Content: PG 13 Summary: Seeking his twin brother, Thomas searches Genosha and runs into Magneto.
Speed pushed off at a dash. After realizing the horror of his situation, Tommy had decided to do one of the many things he thought himself amazing at. He ran. Yes Tommy ran, ran, and ran with all of his might. Zipping across the ocean he moved as his face creased into a frown. He just knew he had to keep looking. Since arriving in this state of chaos he had been looking everywhere for his team, and most importantly his brother.
Oh the day had started innocently enough, Tommy was just gathering up enough energy to ask Cassie out once again, when he had found himself in a mansion that certainly didn't belong to the Avengers, nor anyone else Tommy knew. The building Speed's team had inhabited was once the property of Earth's mightiest heroes, but now?
Everywhere the emerald speedster flowed things shaped up to be out of place. People he had once knew where gone or with different names. Oh well he was still on Earth, and in New York, of that Thomas Shepard was sure. But, it wasn't. Everyone and everything was exactly the same and not...at the same time. Yeah, it was a headache.
The only thing Tommy knew to do was to well, seek some help. And to make sure his younger brother was ok. Billy was known to get himself in trouble. It took a much older, and street wise Tommy to set him straight. That's where the "why" fit in. Now as to the "where", well Billy had been helping Tommy seek out their supposed Mom. Apparently, the lousy parents Tommy had known for most of his life weren't real. His real mom was Wanda Maximoff, and that meant his Grandfather was.. you guessed it, old Pink Helmet himself. Mangeto. Or Megneto. OR whatever he called himself. Point was Tommy was fairly sure this made him part Jewish. Which could explain how much smarter Tommy was than normal people. So here he was running from the east coast to Genosha. The residence of Magneto and his destroyed utopia. It was also the place where Billy and he had last searched for mommie dearest...
Within the blink of a normal human eye, Thomas Shepard found foot fall upon the beach of Genosha. At first the boy didn't notice his surroundings. He was much to preoccupied with stretching and yawning about in his green running suit. But before long, head turned to see what should have been a crumbled civilization, instead Tommy boy found the entrance to a mutant haven that shouldn't exist. Shit.
