I never expected my life to change as fast as it did. I never expected to fall in love with someone I could never have. If someone would've told me that I would become who I am now, I would've probably punched him in the face and have him institutionalized.
Ah! I forgot to introduce myself. Forgive me.
I am Kadence Johnson. I am 22 years old. My best friend is Iris West. I love her to death but she does not have good taste in men. She has this good looking, super smart, awesome haired, well dressed nerd drooling all over her. But she's completely oblivious. Barry Allen is the handsome hunka hunka that is completely in love with Iris and he's oblivious to me. I'm over here, waiting to give him the love he needs and he's all over Iris.
Anyway, enough with the ranting. Time for the real life.
I walk out of my apartment, closing and locking the door. I walk down into the streets of Central City and walk the usual route. See, I am a stripper. I don't do it to be a slut like the stereotypes. I am a classy woman. I don't sleep with the guys that come in. I do not have low self-respect. I go out on that pole, I dance on that pole, and I get my money. When I am done, I bartend. But recently, things have gotten worse. The boss man, has been shooting certain girls up with ecstasy. I myself has not been one of those certain girls. I'm quitting tonight.
After my shift, I walk up the stairs to the boss's office. I knock softly, knowing he could hear. "COME IN!" he yells. I go in silently. I look up at him. "Hey Caz, can I talk to you?" I ask smiling.
"Sure. About what?" He asks.
"This job. I'm moving soon. I have to go. I just dropped off my outfit in the dressing parlor, everything is set up for me to go. I just wanted to say thank you and bye." I smile and turn, ready to leave.
"What?" he asks quietly.
"Um…." i say questioningly
I have never seen anyone's expression change from casual to super perturbed as fast as he did. Honestly, it scared the hell out of me. I instinctively took a step back.
"DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT I WAS GONNA LET YOU GO THAT EASY? DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT YOU COULD SLIP AWAY AFTER THREE WHOLE FUCKING YEARS WITH ME?" he yells.
As soon as I saw him getting up, I ran. I ran down the hall, down the stairs, and out the door. I hear yelling and look back for a split second. He sent some of his goons after me. fuck. I run faster and turn a corner, desperate to get away. Unfortunately, I step into an alleyway. The goons have caught up with me and they're behind me now.
One tries to grab me and I dodge. My battle reflexes kick in and I immediately fight back. Soon, both men are on the ground, groaning and moaning. I smile, remembering my time with the Amazons. But my celebration is cut short when another man grabs me. A man I did not see when I was fighting. He is skilled. We fight. Both our reflexes working well. His fighting style differs from mine in many ways, I immediately infer that he is from the League.
A blast from nowhere hits and both of us are knocked to the ground. Glass from the surrounding buildings rain down on me and I shield myself. When the sharp rain stops, I jump up and resume my fight with the man. But then another blast comes and I am knocked down again, this time unable to move. I panic but then there is a blazing white light and I feel searing pain. I pass out and let the darkness consume me.
Barry's P.O.V.
I sit in my office at the C.C.P.D (Central City Police Department) working on some project Joe had me working on for the Mardon case. I turn on my TV and switch to the news. The S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator was being turned on today. I wanted to see it turned on at the Lab, but I had to be a hero and save Iris' bag. Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough. Detective Pretty Boy saved her bag. Why do I feel like they're gonna be together soon? I don't know. Maybe just a hunch.
"Insiders say the weather has had no effect on the progress of the particle accelerator's work." The reporter says.
I nod to myself. Looks like not even rain can rain on my parade. The rain starts to get harder and I look out the window.
"Officials are saying to evacuate the premises! the weather caused some is-" The reporter says but then gets cut off by my TV shutting itself off. I look out the window and see an explosion.
I look around my office and notice the sky roof is leaking. I go to the chains under it and start pulling them to shut it fully. But then a there's a blinding light and searing pain and I pass out, letting the darkness consume me.
