Ok, so the latest thing I’m gonna swipe is actually from the Flash and Steelheart (Brandon Sanderson). The following story incorporates Flash’s speed, and Steelhearts utopian era of ‘there are no heroes among supers’
Lianna, a superhuman with the power of speed, is part of a large community of supers known as Altima’s, nearly all of the Altima believe they are superior to Humans and essentially take over the world. Lianna feels deep regret for not standing up for the Humans, now Humanity is enslaved to the Altima society, with virtually no free will. Working for Van, an Altima with the power over fire, Lianna is sent to America, the last free place for humans, her mission is to kill and occupy a landing zone for the rest of the Altima’s assault. Upon her arrival, she is captured, when she wakes up in a cell, she discovers several other Altima watching her, these Altima have taken a new name, Omegon, their goal is to protect and save as many humans as they can. Unsure of whether she should execute her orders for Van, or accept the Omegon’s offer to join them against the Altima, Lianna is torn between protecting the lives of those she does not understand, and accepting the will of those who do.
