Hey guys, sorry for my terrible english, i'm Dutch, so the grammar could be 'off' at times. My apologies, i just love the Flash so much, and doctor Wells is my favorite character, so i wanted to write a story about him.
It was a long day at the office, i trained to become a journalist i reported everything i saw that had anything to do with The Flash. There was so much competition, my stories had to be amazing if i wanted a chance.
"Hey babe, brought us some food, please come asap." it was my boyfriend, Lenny. We've been together for almost 3 years now, things haven't really been going great between us lately, and i think he wants to make things right for the 100th time this year.
Sometimes i just wanted to escape him. Lately he has become more abusive, hitting me when he didn't agree on things with me, or when my cooking was terrible.
But i just couldn't leave him. I loved him too much.
"Hey babe." i said, as i threw my bag in a corner somewhere. "It's been a long day, i'm exhausted." Lenny stood up, and greeted me. "I got your favorite." he said.
I stared at the table, he really tried this time. I smiled. "It looks really good."
We sat down, i could smell the delicious aroma of Thai food. "So, how are things going at work?" Lenny asked. He looked... calm? but you would never know when his behaviour changed.
He was like a ticking time bomb waiting for the right moment to explode.
"It's been rough." i said, as i took a bite of the delicious Khao man gai. "I haven't seen the Flash around in a while, and i notice it's definatly affecting my work, i need something good." i said.
"Can you just skip the Flash for a bit and work on something else? there's more problems in the world." Lenny would never understand how passionate i am about superheroes. At one time, i actually wanted to be one myself, and now that everything is possible in this world, i still pray every now and then that this isn't the life i'm supposed to live.
Writing down stories for the rest of my life, constantly having to prove myself to the media.
"I could, but if i want to be interesting, i should follow his every move."
Lenny sighed, he looked irritated. "It's just, everything you talk about it's always about 'The Flash.' " he said with a sarcastic tone in his voice.
I needed to be careful now, or he could attack me.
"You're right..." i sighed. He wasn't right, but i couldn't prove him wrong at this time, he would explode.
"I've had enough." i said, as i stood up. "I it was really good, i'll do the dishes."
Lenny stood up, and walked over to our bedroom. I felt trapped, i was afraid that if i would run away from him, he would try to hurt me.
I went into the kitchen, filling the sink with luke warm water and soap.
If there was only a way to get The Flash's attention.
It's not only that i want a great story that amazes everyone in Central City, i was struck by lightning too that one night. But i haven't been experiencing or feeling things, i wondered why.
Maybe i was just meant to be 'normal' after all.
"Are you coming to bed, honey?" Lenny called out from our bedroom. "In a minute!" i called out. I searched Google, if there were any recent events on the Flash. But the city seemed very... quiet? That was unusual, at least one thing happened each day.
"Where are you?" i mumbled.
I wanted to know who the man behind the mask was, and how he gained his powers.
That minute turned into 30 minutes, and Lenny became uneasy. "Why aren't you in bed yet?" he said, as he stood in the doorway. I looked up from my laptop. "Can you just finally let your work rest for once!?"
I looked up at him, he looked... different?
His eyes were glowing red, and it terrified me. "Lenny?" i stood up from the table, and took a few steps back as Lenny approached me.
"I'm so DONE with you focussing on your JOB all the time." his voice became louder and louder, as he pushed me to the floor. "Don't make me do it." he said.
I looked into his eyes. "Do... what?" my voice was shaking.
Lenny made a fist with his right hand, and looked at me. There was something so... different about him. "HELP!" i called out. I was scared he would kill me, this was something i've feared for a long time, and was tonight the night?
He smacked me right in the face, it hit so hard, i fell down, unconscious.
"Hey you! leave that woman alone!" it was a familiar voice. Lenny turned around and there he was, the man in red. "What are you going to do about it?" Lenny laughed. "She's useless anyway."
"That's not how you treat a lady." the Flash said. "I think it's time for you to learn a lesson."
The Flash ran around in circles, confusing Lenny. The Flash was getting ready for a supersonic punch, and smacked him in the air. "What's happening!?" Lenny screamed out. "It's time for you to pay for your sins." The Flash said, as he supersonic punched Lenny in the stomach, he exploded.
The entire house was a mess, the furniture was turned upside down, holes in the walls, the walls and floor black from the explosion.
"You need help." the man in red said, as he bended over and took me in his arms. "You will be alright, i promise."
he said, as he ran off with me.
