Some would think the average boy would kill to be a hero but not everyone would, instead he spends his time using his speed for small things, like making sure he isn't late, cheating at games, etc but only in small bursts. Any more than a second of his high speed movement and his clothes begin to tear, pits char, and shoes melt.
However he couldn't ignore the truth forever, his city was being ravaged by someone with the exact same powers as him and he, the only person with the power to stop them is just living like nothing's happening. Just recently they robbed another bank, an old man lost his life in the process and now a little girl has to bury her grandfather. He has to act so he does.
He gets an allowance from his father even though he hates the thought of using it so much he's been letting sit in his account for years and only uses the money he makes from racing but seeing as his car is totalled and his city needs a hero... Grudges can wait. He begins ordering, materials designed for high velocity, heat and friction resistant, shear resistant. An aerodynamic helmet, high durability and heat resistant boots. And after a week of using YouTube tutorials to put it together he finally has it, a suit that can handle his speed. It's a shoddy diy but it's his shoddy diy.
He rushed out into the streets a cyan blue quickly surpassing 100 miles per hour. He needs to get the reigns on this whole superspeed thing before fighting someone so much more experienced with it than him. He weaves through cars with ease as if they're crawling compared to him giving him a sense of freedom.
I'm so fast... But to achieve top speed I would need a long straight just like when I raced.
Suddenly a red line streaks past him and his helmet is shattered by a punch. He skids to his feet and looks around for what did it but is hit by another punch out of nowhere. If it weren't for his mask made of the same cloth as his suit he wore underneath they would have seen his secret identity not that he's famous.
He manages to dodge the next punch and finds the same man he saw from that alley, black suit with a multitude of randomly placed red lines on his chest. The suit is immaculate like it's made from people experienced and talented in all the fields needed.
"This is my city so either stay out of my way or leave, well there is a third option but you won't like it." He said.
"Howwww abouuuut-" Frankie said before rushing away as fast as he can.
I'm not ready to fight him yet!
He didn't get further than a block before the man closed the distance and shoulder checked him sending him flying. He bounced off a brick wall and skid across the pavement suit barely holding up. He felt a warmth on his face and noticed his mask was soaked in blood.
One of his previous punches must've ruptured a vessel in my nose...
"So I'm guessing that was your way of choosing the third option." He said before he rushed forward.
Franklin barely had enough time to cover his abdomen before the man's fist slammed into it and sent him flying like it was a high speed car collision. As he landed the man appeared before him but Franklin rushed away before the next attack could land and they chased after each other through the streets and alleys. The man appears from the side and rushed past but Franklin avoids getting flung and continues running.
He turned down another alley and in the distance was a dead end and he skid to a stop inches away from the wall which is when the man rushed in slamming him against the wall. Franklin is bombarded with hundreds of punches all of which are accompanied by the signature boo of an object moving faster than sound. Franklin is dazed by a punch to the face but tries to retaliate with his own punch but is slammed in the rib.
"I... I..." Franklin tried to speak but the damaged to his jaw prevented it.
"No need for a dead man to speak." The man said as he was about to finish Franklin but Franklin ran once more.
The man sighed before rushing after Franklin again this time franklin began zig zagging through different alleys keeping the man from accelerating to top speed to catch up. Franklin rushed up the side of a building which the man followed him up. Due to the man being much faster he got flung much further into the air and Franklin landed first. Franklin turned around and uppercut the man even further into the air giving him enough time to escape.
"Damnit!!!" The man screamed.
While the man was beating himself over losing his prey Franklin rushed until he could no longer hold himself and collapsed in a trash pile.
