Alright the first and very large Heroes chapter. If you are excited for this new story please follow and favorite the story it shows me that people like it and encourages me to continue writing it. This chapter was originally going to be 6 separate chapters, but I decided to just condense it into a huge mega chapter to start this story.
Heroes #1
Pilot. Everyone wants to be special. It's a natural part of our daily lives. We want to be something more than the average person. What if I told you that there were people like that? People who go beyond the regular human limits. I'm not talking about the Power Rangers who used giant robots to save us from an alien invasion one month ago. I'm talking about telepathy, flight, mass regeneration and those are only a few of an array of abilities that our brain could hold. Now what if I told you I was one of those people. A person with an ability beyond imagining. My name is Trey Harris and this is the story of how I became a hero. It started out like any other day except for the fact that that day was the last football game in the season for the Central City College which I'm a player of.
"Keep it low alright? Make sure you block otherwise this game will get real rough very quickly. Jefferson I need you to get open." I begin to explain to the team.
"Got it Trey. Let's kick some butt." Jefferson says enthusiastically.
Unbeknownst to me at the time was that on the other side of the city a lab was testing the very first Particle Accelerator. S.T.A.R Labs as I now know them had Dr. Harrison Wells at the front giving an amazing speech as the Accelerator was turned on. However, an hour later and a championship game won a massive storm swept in.
"Trey that last pass was legendary." Jefferson began to congratulate me.
"It's only legendary if there's another person to catch it. Which thankfully there was." I joke playfully punching his shoulder.
"You know there were scouts out there tonight?" Jefferson asks me surprising me slightly.
"No I honestly didn't." I respond bewildered by the option of a better college.
"Watch out girlfriend alert." Jefferson warns me playfully as I'm nearly tackled by my girlfriend Sandra.
"Woah. To what do I owe this pleasure?" I ask her jokingly as we continue to walk back to the school.
"Oh you know. Maybe the fact you just won the championship!" Sandra exclaims excitedly. That's when it happened. The Particle Accelerator exploded and we sprinted the fastest we could to get to the buildings.
"Sandra hurry!" I begin to shout as me and Jefferson make it inside the school with Sandra still running. The wave passed over her disintegrating her into nothingness. Jefferson tries to slam the door shut but is smacked by the wave of energy and flown into the wall! I managed to get the door shut, but the wave passed over me peacefully. I then sat there shivering in fear as people frantically called the police. It's been three months since then and Jefferson has a permanent injury on his leg preventing him from playing football.
"Trey wake up honey it's time for breakfast!" My mom declares chirping with joy from the kitchen.
"Give me a minute." I shout from my bed. Without looking I try to push the covers off of myself and realize I can't. I open my eyes revealing what I had thought at the time was an enlarged bed. "What the heck."
I then successfully inched out from under the covers and begin running to the edge of my bed where I realized it. Nothing was enlarged. I had shrunk while I was sleeping.
"How did. Am I. Uh. I really hope the breakfast isn't that big." I joke to myself looking at my old action figure collection. That's when I heard a knock on the door. And almost as if on que I grew to regular size falling over as I was unprepared.
"Trey come get your food it's starting to get cold." My Mom says opening my door to see me lying there I confusion.
"I'll be right there." I say begrudgingly as I push myself off of the ground. I walk downstairs where I'm greeted by hash browns and bacon. "What's the occasion for the food?"
"Well you'll have to go back to College tomorrow and I didn't want you to leave hungry." My Mom explains nicely. That's when I hear someone knocking on the front door.
"I'll get it." I say to her opening the front door to reveal a man in a military outfit.
"Are you Trey Harris son?" The military official asks me menacingly.
"Yes sir. Is there any trouble here?" I ask him cautiously.
"My name is General Thunderbolt Ross and I would like to bring you in for some questioning on the Particle Accelerator explosion." General Ross explains straight to the point.
"I told the authorities all I know." I admit to him as I begin to close the door.
"I wasn't asking son." He says forcing the door open and pulling out his gun.
"Hey calm down. What did you want to ask me?" I say stepping outside and closing the door where three more men come around the house guns drawn.
"You're coming with us Mr. Harris." General Ross declares slamming the butt of the gun into my face knocking me out. I woke up in a strange and dark place where I was strapped to the operating table.
"What the heck is going on here?" I shout completely distressed.
"What secrets are you hiding son? Nuclear Powers? Telepathy? Super Strength?" General Ross asks me menacingly as he looms over my strapped body.
"That's what this is about? You want to know how the Particle Accelerator changed me? Let me tell you. My girlfriend was disintegrated, my best friend can't ever do the thing trained for his whole to do, and whole lot of other people died." I mislead him. I'm then slapped in the face by him.
"Look at your right arm." He tells me to which I look over and see polygraph cords attached to my arm. "Your hiding something from me and I will figure out what. Or prepare to lose another person you care about."
"What did you do to my Mom!" I exclaim as I begin to squirm.
"Nothing yet. But if you remain uncooperative then she'll get a taste of lead entering her head." General Ross says creepily. I begin to panic and struggle against the bonds when suddenly I shrink down and fall off of the table.
"Booya! I'm starting to like this a lot more." I say to myself and begin running away from the table to escape through the door. When suddenly the door slams open and men begin pouring into the room. I slip out the door while the men search the room.
"How did he escape?" General Ross demands running past me and into the room. I begin running and inch into one of the air ducts to escape the military. I begin climbing upwards in the air duct when suddenly a giant gust of wind pushes me upward into the top of the duct.
"Never mind this hurts. A lot." I say sorely as I rub my back in pain. I'm suddenly swept off of my feet again hurling me towards giant spinning blades. I land straight in the middle where I then begin spinning uncontrollably. I slam my arms into the middle of the spinning blades of doom snapping me off of it and sending the blades into the air duct's wall. "Crap man give me a break."
"I said get Cody over here now! He's had more experiences with freaks in costumes!" I hear General Ross shout angrily.
"But I'm not even in a costume!" I say to myself as I continue to wander throughout the ducts. I finally find an exit and begin pushing on the grate to let me out. I finally make it budge just enough so I could escape. I leap towards the ground thinking I'm home free when I'm suddenly picked up by a secret agent looking guy.
"I was really hoping I wouldn't find you." The guy says setting me down on the bar. "My names Cody. Run."
"Uh can we talk about this?" I begin to ask when he picks me up and throws me out the window. I then hear gun shots being fired and a body falling to the floor. I run as fast as I can be lining it towards the jeep to drive out of here. I hop into the jeep where the guard was surprised, but instantly pulled out his gun. I punch him straight in the face and grow to full size grabbing the keys and the gun. I throw his unconscious body out of the car and drive away.
That's how I started my journey onto becoming a hero. My compatriot's stories are a bit more exciting.
My name is Marina Aquata and this is the story of how my Father's kingdom was overruled. To explain who I am you must believe in the impossible. I am the princess of Atlantis and heir to the throne. Atlantians possess what land dwellers would call magic, but what we call science. My father Arthur Aquata brought the seven seas under his rule for the first time since the alien invasion started and ended one month ago. Today is my indoctrination into becoming Queen of the seven seas.
"You do know what this means right?" Kalder asks me anxiously as we swim towards the ceremony.
"That I become super awesome?" I respond jokingly obviously annoying Kalder.
"I'm your best friend and always will be, but you're going to have to woman up if you're going to take over your Dad's spot." Kalder warns me.
"Woman up?" I ask him making him uncomfortable.
"You know what I mean." Kalder says swimming ahead to which I catch up.
"You're a sorcerer not a warrior Kalder. Remember your place." I joke playfully pulling his leg back so I could get ahead.
"That may be true, but I could still kick your butt." Kalder jokes as we continue to swim towards the ceremony.
"Do you really want to test that theory?" I ask him as we arrive at the ceremony.
"Come inside dear." My Father calls out to me from across the hallway.
"Hey Dad! Me and Kalder were just taking a little sight-seeing tour of the city." I inform him.
"No need to lie to me I know what you kids do these days." My Father says beginning to laugh.
"Dad!" I shout at him completely embarrassed.
"Oh yes sorry." My Father apologizes.
"Also I'm not a kid anymore Dad. I'm 21." I try to convince him as we swim throughout the building. "I've been training a lot too!"
"You will be a powerful leader my little Marina." My Father says nicely.
"Yes brother. She is obviously more powerful than you ever were." Kander says menacingly as we reach the room where the ceremony was to take place.
"What are you doing here Kander!" My Father demands. You see Kander is what my Father calls the Black Manta the leader of an underground terrorist association. "Come to taint the minds of my kingdom?"
"Maybe I just wanted to see my niece become the next in line of the ignorant idiots." Kander spats back as he puts his helmet back on. "In fact hand over the crown and the privileges that come with or I destroy each and every one of you."
"You dare threaten me or my daughter!" My father exclaims bewildered at the thought.
"Don't worry foolish brother. I don't need to threaten her when I can just kill her!" Kander shouts menacingly lunging at my Father as he unleashes a blast of energy from his visor knocking him away from me.
"Tsalb morf sdnah!" Kalder shouts blasting some sort of mystical water from his hands blasting Kander into the wall. "Dnib mih! Hurry Marina backwards magic isn't as potent against Atlantians. Tropelet ot emoh!"
"I hope you have a backwards magic book for both of us!" I joke as we are teleported home. "Wait how did you do that?"
"Your mother taught me a new spell tropelet ot emoh. Teleport to home." Kalder explains to me as an explosion goes off. We look outside to see one of the towers crumble into dust as Black Manta soldiers walk through the ruble.
"Black Manta terrorist soldiers are everywhere! What are we supposed to do?" I ask Kalder hoping he had an answer.
"We need to run. Or more properly you need to run." Kalder says grabbing me as if we were about to teleport again. I pull back and push him to the ground.
"I'm not running! People are dying down there and I could stop it!" I shout at him as I watch the soldiers execute more civilians.
"They are dying for you! You're the next in line for the throne! If Black Manta kills, you and your Father that means he gets the throne!" Kalder explains to me just as I nearly jump out of my house.
"Stay close to me and when I'm sure I can't do anything else you can teleport out. K?" I ask which he contemplates.
"I really hate this plan for the record." Kalder says as we both jump out of the house and land on the battle field. I begin to look for any weapon I can find and grab one of the laser rifles off of a dead terrorist.
Suddenly, my Father and Kander burst out of the church with Kander blasting my Father into the dirt nearly killing him. I blast a nearby terrorist and swim over to him.
"You must run. Kander is too powerful. Take my triton and remember me." My Father says as he hands me his triton and dies in my arms.
"Erujonc drows! Marina we got to go now!" Kalder exclaims slicing a soldier off of him.
"Leaving so soon? I was just getting started." Kander says menacingly as he blasts me off of my feet. Kalder gets in front and blocks another incoming blast with his conjured sword.
"Erujonc dleihs!" Kalder commands replacing the sword with a shield and helping me off the ground.
"I think it's time I shut you up!" Kander announces busting through the shield and knocking Kalder out cold.
"Kalder no! You'll pay for this!" I shout shoving my Father's triton into Black Manta's stomach astonishing him. Suddenly, a giant explosion goes off from the surface world and an energy wave is created. As it begins to knock into Atlantis I can hear a faint cry.
"Dleihs ruo semoh!" I look and see my Mother creating a giant force field over Atlantis with her magic protecting us from the energy. I look around for Black Manta only to see him swimming over to my Mother!
"Mom! Mom watch out!" I shout but it was too late Black Manta blasts her with his full power disintegrating her immediately. I swim down and grab Kalder and as I swim out of the city I look back and see Black Manta staring at me menacingly. It's been three months since my Mom and Dad's death and we've been running ever since. Kalder and I have been hiding in other Atlantian cities, but we keep getting found and Kalder thinks he knows why and how.
"They might have a mystic on their team." Kalder exclaims excitedly and randomly.
"Okay that explains how they've been tracking us, but the real question is how do we stop that?" I ask as I continue to look through the magic word dictionary Kalder got me on our trip to Weturiom. Weturiom is an enormous city that nearly rivals Atlantis, but thankfully they harbored us for a few weeks so we catch our breath.
"The only way I can think of is to split up. They won't know which energy signature of ours to follow. It's a fifty fifty chance, but I'm not seeing any alternatives." Kalder explains to me.
"Where should we meet up then?" I ask him curiously.
"The surface dweller's called the city beside Atlantis Central City. We should start there. If anything we might try to enlist the surface dweller's heroes called the Power Rangers. They stopped an alien invasion. Could definitely not hurt." Kalder explains to me as I nod in agreement.
"Stay safe sorcerer." I tell him as we part ways.
"Stay safe princess." Kalder says as I turn around and swim away as fast as I can.
Atlantis has been overrun, but with the help of the Power Rangers. I might be able to free my kingdom from Black Manta's reign.
My name is James Smith this is the story of how I became hunted by the US military. A little about myself. I'm a teacher who teaches math to Softmores in Highschool. I'm also 24 years old and a big person on fire prevention (ironic). It all started when I had taken my class on a field trip to Star Labs in hopes of interesting some of them in Science. We had come all the way from Brownwood.
"Hello children." Dr. Harrison Wells the creator of the Particle Accelerator says to us. I was able to get him to show up for us before he went onstage.
"This is Harrison Wells kids. He created the Particle Accelerator and runs Star Labs." I explain to the kids who look really bored.
"Can it blow stuff up?" One of the students named Skull asks curiously and dumbly.
"If it did we'd all be in trouble. Now excuse me I have a world to change." Harrison excuses himself and goes onstage.
"Alright kids lets head back to the bus." I tell them as they begin to murmur to each other as we leave.
"Mr. Smith what does the Particle Accelerator do?" Britt asks me to which Connor is quick to reply.
"The Particle Accelerator is a machine that will hopefully revolutionize physics." Connor explains to Britt.
"Hopefully?" Jayce asks curiously.
"Yes hopefully Jayce. The Particle Accelerator is new technology beyond anything Mercury Labs is doing." I explain to them as they hop into the bus.
"Kind of like a certain technology we used to use." Connor begins to say until Jayce begins covering his mouth. That's when my phone began ringing.
"I got to take this. Joey if you wouldn't mind driving them to the Gas Station around the corner. I'll take my car." I ask Joey who nods getting inside the Bus.
"What's up James? Safe travels I hope?" My girlfriend Kara asks me over the phone.
"Nah we lost a few kids in the shark exhibit. They will be missed." I joke to Kara making her laugh on the other end.
"You wouldn't believe what happened today. You better be home soon so I can tell you about it." Kara teases me.
"I just might. But someone needs to look after these kids." I say trying to convince her and myself. That's when a hooded figure runs me over making me fall over. A college student runs up to me and helps me up.
"I'm really sorry sir." The Kid says as he runs off after the hooded figure.
"I got to go Kara. Goodnight sweet heart." I say to Kara through the phone hanging up on her. I get in my car and drive to the gas station Seven Eleven where the kids were waiting.
"Mr. Smith! That mean girl hit me!" Skull shouts pathetically as he points Britt.
"What do you have to say about this?" I ask Britt who just shrugs.
"Britt won't admit it sir, but Skull was harassing her and the cashier behind the counter. Britt told him to stop and he didn't so she grabbed him and threw him outside." Jayce explains to me defending Britt.
"Is this true ma'am?" I ask the cashier.
"Yes. This pig continued to harass me about going on a date. When I told him I wasn't interested he went berserk and the girl threw him to the ground." The Cashier explains to me. The kids all head out to the bus when it happened. The Particle Accelerator exploded sending a shockwave of energy.
"EVERYONE GET IN INSIDE!" I shout to everyone as they all run inside. Skull trips Britt though and I run out to help her. Knowing it would be too late I shield her with my body as the wave of energy hits the gas station erupting in flames. The flames smack against my skin and I feel the intense heat burn my body. It's been 3 months since the Particle Accelerator explosion and I don't have a burn on me. The doctors couldn't explain it, nobody could.
"I understand you didn't know that the Accelerator would explode, but we have to hold someone responsible for this. And sadly Mr. Smith that means you are fired." The Principal explain to me crushing me on the inside. I drove home where Kara waited for me.
"Everything okay?" She asks me with a worried look on her face.
"I just got laid off at work. What are we going to do Kara? We needed that job." I explain to her as I walk and sit down beside her.
"We'll be okay. We always are." Kara reassures me as she puts her arms around me and her head on my shoulder.
"Kara I hope you know that you're the best thing to ever happen to me." I tell her as I put my head on her head.
"I know and don't you forget it." Kara jokes making me laugh. We sit there cuddling when we hear the doorbell go off.
"I'll get it." I say begrudgingly as I walk over to the door and open it. Standing there is a tall man in a tuxedo.
"My name is Cody Simmons. I'm an agent for the CIA and you're coming with me." Cody commands me as he grabs me.
"Like heck I am." I exclaim punching him off of me. He retaliates by swinging his leg around and smacking my head. He then pulls his gun on me. I put my hands up and begin sweating profusely. He looks at me with fear and runs away as fast as he can. I look at my hands and realize both of my hands are on fire. I begin to panic and smack my hands against the wall trying to extinguish the flames. Kara begins screaming in fear and runs to grab some water. I stumble outside where I feel something hit my neck abruptly. I look at it and realize it's a tranq dart. I fall down and drop into unconsciousness as Kara runs outside to put the flames out. She begins to rush over to me, but two security officers pull her off and throw her inside the building. I wake up in a windowless cell with no seeable exits. I run over to the walls and start banging my fists on them in panic.
"Calm down James, we don't want to hurt you." Cody says coming from nowhere. I turn around in panic and just stare at Cody in fear.
"What's going on!? I demand to know what's going on!" I shout at Cody not really expecting an answer.
"You were affected by the Particle Accelerator." Cody begins to explain to me.
"Can you fix it?" I ask anxiously.
"We are sure of the affect it had on your body, but the preliminary report is showing that it's irreversible. The changes have bonded to you very DNA. There is no technology on Earth that mend that." Cody informs me solemnly.
"Am I allowed to leave?" I ask him terrified by the thought of not being allowed to leave.
"No. As simple as that no. We can't be sure of what changes you are going through. We saw your hands ignite into flames, but when we checked you for burns there were none. If you're fireproof then we could find a way to protect fire fighters, or just regular people." Cody explains as I begin to inch towards the wall where I thought he had come through.
"I don't just burn pal." I say cocky as I ignite the fire on my hands. I then slam my hands on the wall and burn straight through it revealing a room with people all staring at me shocked. Cody immediately pulls out his gun and is prepared to fire.
"Stop James. You don't know what you're doing!" Cody exclaims inching closer to me with his gun in hand.
"In fact I do. You really think I wouldn't figure out that I have powers after 3 months!? You must think I'm stupid." I bluff hoping he wouldn't call me out on it. I make a run for it by putting my hands in front of me hoping to just burn straight through the walls.
"James stop!" Cody exclaims running after me.
Without thinking I swing at the air and a fireball erupts from my hand nearly hitting Cody in the head. I then fall into another room where I look in horror as I see people being operated on. Cody runs in and looks just as astonished as I am.
"What the heck is going on here!?" Cody demands from one of the scientists.
"We're operating on Metahuman prisoner number 21." The scientist admits afraid for his life.
"I didn't know this was happening. I swear. You need to escape now." Cody tells me when he begins to get a call. "I'm getting called to go somewhere else, but I need you to get out of here."
"I'll be right behind you." I tell him as armed soldiers storm the room. Cody and I duck under cover as bullets begin smacking into it. Cody flips over the cover and shoots one of the armed soldiers as he takes cover again. I stand up and throw a fireball at a soldier missing him completely. Cody takes advantage of the confusion and grabs the fallen soldiers gun and pops up shooting the remaining three soldiers. We burst outside where we see a truck about to leave.
"Get in the truck and go off grid." Cody commands me as he pushes me into the truck. "Good luck."
"Thank you." I thank him as the truck leaves the facility.
I've been running ever since. Trey told me that he met Cody and that he saved him not long afterwards. However, if Cody is dead I will avenge him.
My name is Brooklyn Rose and I'm just an ordinary girl. Well as normal as a girl can be living in London. I was on my way to school when I saw two kids getting bullied by upper classmates.
"Hey stop it!" The girl shouts at them as they continue to beat on the boy.
"What are you going to do about it girlie?" One of the guys say menacingly as he grabs a hold of her. I begin running over when she breaks the grip and twirls the guy around making him land straight on his face as he fell. The other guys suspend beating on the boy and turn their attention to the girl.
"Hey! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" I ask challengingly as I run up beside the girl. The guys begin to back off as their friend gets up with a bloody nose.
"You haven't seen the last of us. We're the Tunnel Snakes!" The boys shout as they run away.
"Jerks." I retort as the girl rushes to her friend.
"This is no time to die on me Brandon." The girl jokes picking him up slowly.
"I'm calling 999." I tell her as I pull out my phone.
"This is emergency services what seems to be problem?" The operator asks me.
"I intervened in a beating. The boy is really busted up and needs a hospital." I explain to the operator.
"Do you know where you are?" The operator asks nicely and calmly.
"7th Avenue Street. Please send help fast he's bleeding a lot." I say panicky.
"I've dispatched and emergency vehicle can you give me the name of the two people who were harassed in the fight, so that I can contact their parents?" The operator asks worried.
"I'm sorry I never caught your names?" I ask the pair.
"My name is Madison Bleth and he's Brandon Rowlett." Madison informs me as she continues to clean Brandon off with his shirt.
"Their names are Madison Bleth and Brandon Rowlett." I explain to her as the ambulance speeds around the corner and stops by us. They grab Brandon and put him in the ambulance. They then drive away as fast as they can.
"I didn't get to ask you your name." Madison says to me as she sits down on a nearby bench.
"Brooklyn Rose. Brooklyn Anna Rose. You don't seem all that shaken up about this." I answer her curiously.
"I've seen and done a lot more things than I would've liked. Plus, Brandon can make it through this." Madison says confidently.
"Well then Madison. I must take my leave. I have a plane to catch today and I might be late." I say goodbye to her as I begin running back home. When I make it home I instantly smell the delicious brisket made by my Mom.
"How was your day sweetie?" My mother asks me casually as she prepares dinner.
"Eventful to say the least." I joke as I grab a plate of brisket, mash potatoes, and corn. I sit down at the table with my Dad and little brother.
"I got a call saying you were stirring up trouble for the Tunnel Snakes." My Dad says to me in his usual gruff voice.
"They were beating on two kids what was I going to do?" I ask him sarcastically with pride beaming on his face.
"I'm proud you did the right thing Brooklyn. Thomas on the other hand has been quite the trouble maker while you were gone." My Mother tells me as she picks up my baby brother.
"You wouldn't make trouble for mommy and daddy would you? Nooooo." I say to Thomas with my baby voice making him laugh and squirm.
I finish eating and go upstairs to grab my bags. That's when I hear my Mom scream from downstairs. I run downstairs as fast as I can possibly go. I look in horror as blood begins creeping into the living room.
"Ah Brooklyn. Just the girl I wanted to see." A man says sinisterly as he comes around the corner with two knives in his hands both with blood stains on them.
"Who the heck are you!?" I scream at him fearing for my life. That's when Thomas begins crying and screaming.
"Such a simple question. One that is not easily answered." The man says confusing me even more as he begins walking slowly towards me. "Do you believe in destiny?"
Suddenly, I begin having flashes of memories spiking into my head. I see Egypt in ancient days with workers all around and conflict between three people. None of the faces I recognize when the third person reveals himself showing him to be my current assailant.
"What just happened!?" I exclaim making the man grin sinisterly.
"You my dear Brooklyn just remembered something you were a part of." The man informs me making me even more confused and terrified. That's when I begin to have another memory flash.
4000 Years Ago
"We can't keep this a secret forever." A woman begins to say to the man.
"Maybe we shouldn't keep it a secret for much longer." The man says putting his arms around the woman.
"But they'll kill us Khufu!" The woman exclaims terrified.
"I'm the prince Shierra they wouldn't dare challenge the rule of my father to kill me." Khufu says confidently.
"As luck would have it Prince Khufu your Father didn't order your head when I told him that the priestess Shierra was carrying an heir to the throne. Which as we both know is treason." A priest says walking in on the two.
"Vandal! What is the meaning of this intrusion?" Prince Khufu demands from the Priest known as Vandal.
"It's Savage to you Prince Khufu." Vandal Savage says menacingly as he pulls out the knife which is used by the present day version of him on me. Suddenly, a loud rumbling can be heard as a meteorite begins to plummet to the Earth. Vandal then swiftly kills Khufu and Shierra as the meteor plummets on top of them.
Present Day
"Savage?" I ask more confused than terrified.
"Oh so you remember me?" Vandal Savage gloats terrifyingly.
"What does this have to do with me?" I exclaim at him as I begin backing up even more.
"Nothing. You are as unimportant to time as Khufu or Shierra, but when the meteorite hit it changed the four of us." Vandal begins to explain.
"Four? There were only three. And hit us? That was Egypt 4000 years ago." I say beginning to figure everything out in my head. "I was the baby."
"Yes you are. When the meteorite hit I was given immortality. But what happened to you and your parents was much more spectacular." He begins to say when he lunges on me and knocks me out with the butt of his gun. I wake up strapped to a chair on top of the tower of London.
"What do you plan on doing to me?" I demand struggling to get out of the rope.
"I don't get any benefit from killing you if your powers haven't emerged." Vandal explains as he begins to walk closer to me. "You see you don't only reincarnate. You can fly."
He then pushes me with the chair off the roof of the building and I begin to plummet to my death. I continue to scream and kick when suddenly the chair bursts into pieces and I stop falling. I look behind me in shock as I see two magnificent wings attached to my back.
"What the frack." I exclaim as Vandal looks down at me from the roof. I then fly away as fast as I can back home. I run into the house where I still here Thomas crying profusely and my parent's bodies on the floor. "Oh my…it's going to be okay Thomas we're going to go."
It's been three months since then and I hitched a plan with Thomas to go to Central City where I heard there was someone who caused powers like mine. My parents are dead and I'm being hunted along with my brother by an immortal psychopath named Vandal Savage. Needless to say. This sucks.
My name is Alex Parker and I'm the fastest man alive. To understand what I'm about to tell you, you need to believe in the impossible. My story is pretty simple. My whole life I've been running usually from bullies. Sometimes I would escape. Sometimes I would not.
11 Years Ago
"Tell me what happened Alex." My mother asks me kindly as she cleans off the blood from my head.
"Those guys were picking on kids. Just because they thought they weren't cool. It wasn't right." I explained to her.
"I know." She acknowledges as she puts me on her lap.
"I guess I wasn't fast enough." I say disappointed.
"No. You have such a good heart Alex. And it's better to have a good heart than fast legs." She explains to me as my Father walks in through the door.
"Hello. I'm home." My Dad declares relieved.
"Alex got into a fight." My Mom tells my Dad.
"Oh yeah?" My Dad asks rhetorically.
"And he won." She tells him making him smile.
"Way to go slugger." He says happily to which my Mom gives him a death stare. "Oh and no more fighting."
But after that night I was running from something much scarier. Something I could never explain. Something impossible.
"HENRY! HENRY!" She calls out to my Dad in agony. I rush downstairs where I see my Father watching as two balls of lightning zip around the room. One red and one of the yellow.
"MOM!" I shouted in fear as my Dad grabs me fearfully.
"NORA HOLD ON!" My Dad shouts as loud as he can. "RUN ALEX RUN!"
And just like that in a blink of an eye the yellow lightning encompassed me and I was suddenly 3 blocks away from my house.
Present Day
"Second robbery this week." One of the detectives say disgusted.
"One of the witnesses' ID Clyde Martin as one of the shooters." Jo informs him.
"Aw man the Martin Brothers are back?" The cop says disappointed.
"What do we got here?" The Captain asks Jo.
"Two perps one shot out the cameras. Made away with 10,000 dollars in cash." Jo informs the captain reluctantly.
"Has CSI been over this?" The Captain asks Jo who avoids eye contact signaling I had not. "Where's Parker?"
Meanwhile I continue to try and run through the crowds of people surrounding the crime scene.
"CSI coming through." I exclaim as I finally manage to get in the crime scene. "Sorry I'm late Captain Singh."
"What was it this time Mr. Parker? Did you forget to set your alarm clock? And before you answer I should remind you the excuse you gave last time was car trouble. Do you want to know why that was so memorable?" Captain Singh begins to ask me.
"I don't own a car." I say embarrassingly.
"He was running an errand for me." Jo lies to the Captain. "Alex do you get what I asked for?"
"Yeah it's right here." I say giving him a half-eaten Twix bar. "I ate a few bites."
"Get going Mr. Parker." The Captain commands me sighing in disgust.
"Yes sir." I say as I kneel down and set out my stuff when I realize the tire marks. I get a closer look and see a weird excrement which I assumed to be from the tires. I then notice the size of the tires. "The getaway car is Mustang Shelby GT500. Shelby's have a weird super wide tire unique to that model. 12 inches with an asymmetrical tread. But there's something else."
I grab Jo's partners pen and pick up the excrement with it. I then stuff the pen into an evidence bag that I can evaluate later.
"Fecal excrement. Animal I'd guess." I inform them when the Detective gets a bit angry.
"My Dad gave me that pen. Before he died." The Detective tells me angrily.
"Um sorry detective." I apologize putting the evidence bag in my bag. Jo then drives me back to the Precinct. Where I immediately go upstairs and begin evaluating the type of excrement.
"Okay then I'm ready to this atom smasher smashing." Iris declares as she walks into my lab.
"There was a shooting today. Your Dad needs me to process some of the evidence. Which means I'm not sure if we can make it to Star Labs." I say disappointedly walking around my lab.
"But seeing this thing turn on is like your dream. Your sad little nerdy dream." She mocks me as she eats one of my fries.
"Hands off my fries. Unbelievable." I joke as I grab them from her and walk back to my computer.
"I'm stress eating over my dissertation. We started selling donuts at Jitters today. I ate two of them." She half jokes making me laugh.
"You look amazing." I tell her sincerely making her roll her eyes.
"What's so important about this Particle Accelerator anyway?" Iris asks me curiously.
"Harrison Well's quantum theory is light years ahead of anything they are doing at Stern." I begin to explain.
"Alex you're doing that thing again where you're not speaking English." Iris jokes making me pull out a marker and rolling over one of the white boards. I then draw a dot in the center of the board.
"Imagine that this dot is everything the human race has known up to this point." I begin to explain to her.
"Does that include twerking?" Iris jokes making me laugh. I then draw a circle around the dot.
"This is everything we could learn with the Particle Accelerator. It's a whole new way of looking at Physics. It will literally change the way we look at everything!" I exclaim excitedly. That's when my computer beeps and Jo walks into my lab.
"You got to get yourself a girlfriend Alex." Iris jokes sitting back down.
"Hey you leave him alone. He's working." Jo jokes as he and Iris embrace.
"Actually the computer just got done. I think the Martin Brothers are hanging out on a farm. The fecal excrement has a trace of hormones in it used in only two farms. I say that if a Shelby GT500 is there you got your guys." I exclaim to him handing him the locations of the two farms.
"Now that Alex here has solved your poop problem how about letting him go to Star Labs?" Iris asks Jo nicely.
"Fine go." Jo says with a huge smile on his face.
"Thank you Jo!" I exclaim as I grab my coat and run out the door with Iris behind me. We finally get to Star Labs just minutes before the big speech begins.
"So Alex how was your trip to Starling City? You find what you were looking for?" Iris asks me making me get uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"Actually while I was away I got to think about relationships. Well I'm not in one and you're not in one. And you're my best friend Iris." I begin to confess when Iris cuts me off.
"You are too Alex. Why else would I be here?" Iris jokes motioning to all of Star Labs.
"That's not exactly what I meant." I say trying to explain.
"I know what you're going to say Alex." She begins to say.
"I'm not sure you do." I say disappointed.
"Since we grew up in the same house together it can get weird to talk to me about girls, but I just want to tell you it shouldn't be awkward to talk to me about girls. There's nothing I want more than for you to meet the right girl who completely adores you for the amazing guy you are." Iris says making me even more disappointed.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." I lie as we continue to walk towards the podium.
"Aw aren't you glad I know you so well?" Iris jokes playfully bumping into me. That's when Harrison Wells walks onto the stage and everyone begins cheering.
"Thank you. My name is Harrison Wells and tonight the future begins. The work my team and I are doing here will change the way we look at physics. It will bring about advancements in power, advancements in medicine and trust me that future will be here faster than you think." Harrison Wells explains to everyone in the crowd. Suddenly, a man rushes by and takes Iris's bag.
"My bag! That has my dissertation in it!" She exclaims as I run after the crook. I accidently run into a guy on the phone.
"Sorry!" I exclaim as I continue running after the perp. We make it past the building and into an alley way where he stops and smacks me overhead with the computer. "Hey kid you don't have to do this alright? Just give me my friends computer."
He inches closer ready to give me the bag when he shoves it into my stomach making me fall over in pain. Meanwhile a cop by the name Eddie Thawyne is doing his rounds when he sees the perp running away.
"Freeze or do you want to see you're not faster than a bullet?" Eddie exclaims pulling his gun on the crook. We head back to the precinct where it begins to rain and thunder. I walk upstairs to my lab.
Meanwhile Jo and his Partner arrive at the last farm.
"This is the last farm on Alex's list." Jo informs his partner as they get out of the car.
"Look I know you said he's a smart kid, but you said it yourself sometimes he's chasing flying pigs." The Detective argues as they begin to head for the farm house.
"Let's check it out just in case." Jo says confidently as they enter the building. Meanwhile back at my lab I turn on the TV to hear what's going on.
"I'm Linda Park reporting live from the Particle Accelerator. Despite the thunder storm Dr. Wells assures us that the launch of the Particle Accelerator will continue as planned." The reporter reports making me mad and turning off the TV. Meanwhile Jo and his partner find something hidden under a sheet of cloth. They tear it off to reveal a Shelby GT500.
"The kid was right." The Partner says astonished as a shot goes off from one of the Martin Brothers nearly hitting Jo. The begin firing back when both of the Martin Brothers begin running outside to escape in their plane. Jo and his Partner pursue the Brothers, but Jo's partner gets shot in the neck killing him. They take off in the air when suddenly a massive explosion goes off. Meanwhile I try to close my Skylight before any of the blast's radiation makes it inside. I grab a hold of the metal chain connected to it when I'm suddenly struck by lightning making me fly back unconscious. The explosion hits the Martin Brother's plane destroying them and the plane. I begin to awake when I hear a song playing in the background and two people checking on me.
"Can you please turn that off." The woman asks the man rudely.
"Nah man this is his favorite song." He retorts back.
"How can you possibly know that?" She asks him coldly.
"Checked it on his Facebook page." He explains to her making her sigh in disbelief. That's when I fully awaken and sit straight up screaming. "Holy crap!"
"Dr. Wells he's awake." The woman says through an intercom system.
"Where am I?" I ask fearfully as they both begin to rush towards me.
"It's okay dude you're in Star Labs." The man says trying to calm me down as the woman checks my vitals.
"Star Labs? Who are you?" I ask trying to stay calm as the woman continues to check my heart rate.
"I'm Cisco and she's Caitlyn. Sorry Dr. Tidwell." Cisco explains as Caitlyn gives him a cruel stare when she suddenly hands me a cup.
"I need you to pee in this." Caitlyn demands shoving the cup closer to me.
"Not right now. Chill out Caitlyn." Cisco says taking the cup away from the both of us.
"What's going on?" I ask curiously and still cautiously.
"You were hit by lightning dude." Cisco tells me as I stand up and look in the mirror.
"Lightning gave me abs?" I ask confused as I look at the now six pack I have gained.
"Your muscles should be atrophy, but are instead in a state of cellular regeneration." Caitlyn explains squeezing the abs to test if it hurt me.
"Come here and sit. You were in a coma." Cisco explains to me as he puts me back on the bed.
"For how long?" I ask worryingly.
"Three Months. Welcome back Mr. Parker." Harrison Wells tells me as he wheels in on his wheelchair. Caitlyn hands me a Star Labs sweater and Dr. Wells convinces me to go on a walk with him through the facility.
"It's hard to believe I'm here. I've always wanted to meet you face to face." I explain to him excitedly.
"Yeah? Well you certainty went to great lengths to do so Mr. Parker." Dr. Wells jokes as we continue throughout the facility.
"What happened here? Where is everybody?" I ask him curiously.
"Star Labs has not been operational since Feema categorized us a Class 4 hazardous location. 17 people died that night many more injured myself amongst them." Dr. Wells explains sadly. We stop at the overhang where I look over to see the pipeline for the Particle Accelerator completely destroyed.
"Geez what happened?" I ask curiously.
"3 Months Ago the Particle Accelerator went on exactly as planned for 45 minutes I had achieved my life's dream and then there was anomaly. The volts became unmeasurable the ring popped sending the energy into a storm cloud." Dr. Wells explains to me.
"And the storm cloud created the lightning bolt that hit me." I say to myself figuring out the rest.
"That's right. I was recovering myself when I heard about you. The hospital was going through unexplainable power outages every time you went into cardiac rest. Which was actually a miss diagnosis. Because you see you weren't flat lining Alex. Your heartbeat was going too fast for the EKG machine to register it." He tells me reluctantly. We head back to where I awoke which I assumed to be the main lab. "Now I may not be the most popular guy around, but Detective Jo Robles and his daughter allowed me to take you here. Where we were able to stabilize you."
"Iris?" I ask him.
"Yes. She came to see you quite often." Dr. Wells informs me.
"She talks a lot." Caitlyn says as she hands Dr. Wells a drink.
"Plus she's hot." Cisco says abruptly.
"I need to go." I say as I begin to leave.
"You can't leave yet we still need to run tests." Caitlyn argues pushing me back into the lab.
"I agree we need to run more tests to see if you're okay." Dr. Wells agrees with Caitlyn only making me more anxious to leave.
"I'm fine really. I feel normal. Thank you for saving my life." I declare as I begin to run outside to leave. I take a taxi and arrive at Jitters which is where Iris works at. I watch as Iris takes an order from one of the customers. I walk into Jitters and she instantly sees me. She runs up and jumps onto me hugging me tightly as tears begin streaming down her face.
"You're awake! Why didn't Star Labs call us?" She asks as she tries to compose herself.
"I just woke up." I explain to her excitedly.
"Should you even be on your feet?" She asks curiously as we sit down.
"Iris I'm okay." I tell her happily.
"I watched you die Alex. You kept dying." Iris tells me as she begins to cry again. I grab her hand and put it where my heart is.
"It's still beating." I assure her making her laugh. Suddenly, everything begins to go super slow and then resumes as normal which shakes me up.
"Are you okay?" She asks me concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine. Listen I'm going to head to the precinct I'll meet you there." I assure her as I leave through the back exit when suddenly my hand begins to vibrate uncontrollably. "What's happening to me?"
I begin to run forward super-fast launching myself into a car setting off the alarm. In panic I look around and begin running uncontrollably fast. I stop, but not soon enough as I'm launched into a truck filled with pillows. I hurry up and get out of the truck and run away super-fast to the Precinct.
"This is crazy." I say to myself still not believing what I just did. I walk into the Precinct where Jo runs up and hugs me tightly.
"Oh man you scared the heck out of us kid." Jo exclaims completely relieved.
"That was quite the nap you took there baby face and you still look twelve." One of the cops joke making everyone laugh.
"Captain can me and Alex go grab a slice?" Jo asks the Captain who reluctantly agrees.
"Jo before you go one of the witnesses to today's robbery ID the shooter as Clyde Martin." Eddie says to Jo confusing me. That's when I see his old partner's picture put up with the rest of detectives who died.
"That's impossible Clyde Martin is dead." Jo says not believing what Eddie said. Reluctantly Jo and I leave in his car towards the pizza parlor. We make it halfway there when we begin to hear sirens blaring near us. A car zips past us with a cop car hot on its heels.
"Sorry Alex it looks like duty calls." Jo apologizes while putting the siren on top if his car. We begin speeding after the vehicles when suddenly the cop car goes out of control and rams into our car! Jo is knocked unconscious, so I grab him and race out of the car just as it crashes and blows up. I race after the car and bust into it where I see Clyde Martin at the wheel. He jumps out of the car in panic. The car then goes out of control and slams into wall just before that though I manage to speed out of the car and tumble into the streets.
"Who are you?" Clyde Martin demands angrily as he holds his hands out. "It doesn't matter."
Suddenly smoke begins pouring from his hands encompassing the entire street with fog in mere seconds. After an ambulance and more cops arrive Jo confronts me about what happened.
"How did we escape? The last thing I remember was the cop's car hitting us." Jo asks me curiously.
"When we got hit you were thrown from the car and onto the road. I saw the guy in the car Jo. It was Clyde Martin." I lie to him which is a skill I learned from someone in Starling City.
"It wasn't Clyde Martin he's dead." Jo argues denying even the slightest possibility.
"I saw him! He can control the weather. Some kind of fog enveloped the street immediately." I declare angrily when I realize Jo doesn't believe me. "You don't believe me. You never believe me."
"Okay, you want to do this right here? Right now? Fine. Martin is dead there is no controlling the weather Alex just like there wasn't any lightning in your house the night your mother died. It was your brain helping a scared little boy accept what he saw." Jo exclaims rudely and angrily.
"My Dad did not kill my Mom." I say weakly.
"Yes he did Alex! Your Dad killed your Mother Alex I'm sorry son. I knew it, the jury knew it, and now he is paying for his crimes in Iron Heights." Jo exclaims convinced there were no other alternatives.
"Dad that's enough!" Iris exclaims making Jo and I storm off. Once I get far enough away so that nobody could see me I race over to Star Labs and tell them what happened. Dr. Wells and Dr. Tidwell didn't believe me so we went out to an old Ferris Airfield to test my abilities.
"You really don't believe he can run that fast do you?" Caitlyn asks Harrison Wells curiously.
"I believe anything is possible and in a few minutes you might too." Harrison answers confidently.
"How does it fit?" Cisco asks me as I put the helmet on.
"It's a little snug." I joke as Cisco takes it off and grabs one of the things off the table. "What's that?"
"Experimental earpiece. It protects against any background noise or in your case any possible sonic booms. Which would be awesome." Cisco says enthusiastically. Caitlyn walks over and tightens the strap on my pads.
"What's wrong?" She asks me reluctantly.
"Nothing I just noticed you don't smile much." I say to her making her a bit more uncomfortable.
"My once promising career in bioengineering is gone and my boss is in a wheel chair. The same explosion that put you in a coma also killed my fiancée. So this blank expression seems like the way to go." Caitlyn explains to me sadly.
"Everything set?" Harrison asks Cisco who nods. "As much as I would like to test the full range of your abilities. I must caution restraint Mr. Parker."
"Yeah." I agree as I get ready to run. I zoom forward at intense speeds as I go back and forth in a matter of seconds.
"It's impossible." Caitlyn says as I continue running around the air field.
"He just hit 300 miles per hour and is stabilizing there." Cisco informs Dr. Wells as I stop in front of them. "That was insane!"
"I must say Mr. Parker quite impressive. Now what was it you wanted to discuss with us about Clyde Martin?" Harrison Wells asks me seriously.
"I wasn't the only one effected was I?" I ask him rudely.
"We don't know for sure." Harrison answers reluctantly.
"You said there was no residual danger, but that's not true so what really happened that night?" I demand rudely.
"When the accelerator went active we all felt like heroes until something went wrong. A dimensional barrier ruptured unleashing unknown elements into our world. Anti-matter, Dark Energy, X-Elements." Harrison Wells explains to me when I cut him off.
"Those are all theoretical." I argue.
"And how theoretical are you? We mapped the exposure throughout the city, but there is no real way of knowing who was effected. We've been searching for other Metahumans like yourself." Harrison explain to me.
"I saw one today. He's a bank robber and he can control the weather." I exclaim confidently.
"This just keeps getting cooler." Cisco remarks happily.
"This is not cool. A man died! Martin must have gotten his powers the same way I did. He's still out there! We have to stop him before he hurts anyone else!" I exclaim nearly storming off.
"Alex! That's a job for the police." Harrison argues.
"Yeah I work for the police." I argue back.
"Yes, but as a forensic scientist." Harrison says ending the argument.
"You're responsible for this. For him." I exclaim rudely.
"What's important is you! Not me I lost everything I lost my company, I lost my reputation, I lost my freedom, and then you healed completely from the lightning strike in two hours. Inside your body is a map to a whole new world of genetic therapy. We can't risk everything all because you want to go play hero! You're not a hero. You're just a young man who was struck by lightning." Harrison Wells exclaims loudly. We sit there in awkward silence until I zoom out of the door and begin running as fast as I can to go see and old friend. I run into Starling City and message him to meet me on a roof top.
11 Years Ago
"I swear to God I didn't do this." My Dad declares as he gets pulled out of my house by policemen.
"Dad!? Why are they taking you!?" I ask angrily as my Dad gets pulled away.
"Alex don't go in the house! What's going to happen to my son?" He asks the policemen as gets put in the cop car.
"Where's Mom!?" I ask weakly as I run into the house slipping past the policemen. I walk in and find a body covered by a blanket. I run over and lift the blanket revealing my Mom. "Mom? Wake up mom please."
"You're going to be okay Alex." Jo comforts me as he puts the blanket back on her and escorts me out of the house. "You're going to stay with me and Iris for a while."
Present Day
"So that's my story. I spent my whole life searching for the impossible never thinking that I would become the impossible." I explain to Oliver who stands there.
"So why come to me? Something tells me you didn't just run 600 miles to come see a friend." Oliver asks me in his green clad suit.
"All my life I've just wanted to do more. And the first chance I get to help someone I screw up. What if Wells is right? What if I'm not a hero? What if I'm just some guy who was struck by lightning?" I explain to him sadly.
"I don't think that lightning struck you Alex. I think it chose you." Oliver tells me confidently.
"I just don't know if I'm like you Oliver. I don't know if I can be some vigilante." I say motioning towards his costume.
"You can be better because you can inspire people in ways I never could. Watching over your city like a guardian angel. Making a difference, saving people in a flash." Oliver explains to me as he turns around. "Take your own advice. Wear a mask."
Oliver then grapples away as I run away. I race over to Central City and enter Star Labs where I begin going over unsolved crimes from the past 3 months. I grab Cisco and Caitlyn and plan to tell them what I found.
"I've been going over unsolved cases from the last 3 months and there's been a sharp increase in unexplained deaths and robberies. You Metahumans have been busy. I'm not blaming you I know you all lost something that night. I need your help to catch Martin. I can't do it without you." I explain to them with Cisco getting a huge grin on his face.
"If we're doing this I got something that can help." Cisco informs us happily as he runs away and rolls out a suit. "Something I've been playing with. It was designed to replace Firemen's usual get up. I thought if Star Labs could do something for the community they would stop hating Dr. Wells."
"How is this going to help me?" I ask curiously.
"It's reinforced with a tripolymer. It's heat and abrasive resistant. Which means it should resist against you moving at fast speeds. And the aerodynamic design should help you maintain control. Plus, it has built in sensors so we can track your vitals from here." Cisco explains while Caitlyn and I look at it in wow.
"Now how do we find Martin?" I ask Caitlyn who grabs her tablet.
"I have re-tasked Star Labs satellites to look for freak meteorological events that spring up out of nowhere. We just got a ping at some old farm house. Ring a bell?" Caitlyn asks me.
"Actually yeah it does." I say changing into the suit at super-speed.
Meanwhile Jo and Eddie drive up to the old farmhouse that the Martin Brothers were at before.
"Why are we checking here if you think he's dead?" Eddie asks Jo curiously.
"A witness saw him and now Alex too. That's one too many coincidences for this old cop." Jo explains to his partner. They bust into the farmhouse where they see Clyde Martin sitting down in the middle of the building. "Martin. Get to your feet slowly and put your hands on your head."
"You got me. At the night of the storm after Star Labs blew after our plane went down and I woke up alive. When I saw what I could do I understood. I am God." Clyde says still sitting as Jo goes in to handcuff him.
"Shut the heck up." Jo demands as he and Eddie draw closer when suddenly Clyde gets up.
"Turn around!" Eddie commands when suddenly fog begins to envelope the room. And he slams his hands down pushing a gust of wind into Jo and Eddie making them slam into the wall.
"You think your guns can stop God!" Clyde demands as the wind begins to pick up and he begins to levitate.
"Why the heck would God need to rob banks?" Jo demands as Clyde begins to rise higher and higher into the sky.
"You're right. I've been thinking too small." He says as a tornado begins to form around him tearing up the farmhouse. Jo grabs Eddie and runs outside as fast as he can. One of the pieces of the roof begin to break away from the tornado and is sent hurling at Jo. I race in and grab Jo and Eddie before they're crushed.
"Alex this thing is heading towards the city you have to stop it! If this thing continues to pick up, we could be looking at an F5 tornado!" Cisco exclaims over the earpiece.
"How do I stop it?" I ask excitedly as the tornado continues to grow in size. "What if I unravel it?"
"How the heck are you going to do that?" Caitlyn asks me over the earpiece.
"I'll run around it in the opposite direction cutting of it's legs!" I shout over the earpiece.
"You'd have to clock 400 Miles per hour to do that." Cisco informs me with Caitlyn interjecting.
"Your body may not hold up at those speeds!" Caitlyn warns me.
"I have to try!" I exclaim as I begin running around as fast as I can. I continue to race around it as fast as I can and it begins to unravel until Clyde Martin grazes me with lightning knocking me back. Jo looks on in disbelief as the tornado inches closer. "It's too strong!"
"You can do this Alex. You were right I am responsible for all of this. So many people have been hurt because of me and when I looked at you all I saw was just another potential victim of my hubris. But Alex you can stop it. You can do this now RUN ALEX RUN!" Harrison Wells tells me over the earpiece. I begin running around it again faster than before as I continue to run. Clyde Martin struggles to keep up the tornado when I suddenly stop it making him fall down and I fall down due to exhaustion.
"Hey! I didn't think there was anyone else like me." Clyde says as he inches closer to me with his gun drawn.
"I'm not like you! You're a murderer!" I exclaim when he begins to pull up his gun to shoot me when suddenly three shots go off hitting him and killing him. I look around and see Jo staring at me in wonder since I'm unmasked.
"Alex!?" Caitlyn exclaims over the earpiece.
"Everything's fine. It's over." I tell them as Jo walks over and sits down beside me. After that Jo called the cops and the ambulance to pick up Clyde Martin.
"What you can do, it was the lightning bolt?" Jo asks me still in shock.
"More or less." I tell him to keep it short.
"I'm sorry Alex. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. I called you crazy for chasing the impossible, but you really did see something the night your mom died. And your Dad is innocent. You got to promise me something. You can't tell Iris about this." Jo apologizes to me sincerely.
"Of course." I promise him.
All in all, a very weird day. I gained super-speed, met new friends, and now I have a way to catch the man who murdered my Mom. He better watch out because I'm coming and I will stop him.
Like I said in the description the Flash's backstory remains the same, but the 4 other characters will evolve and meet each other in really organic and interesting ways. Hope everyone enjoyed this mega chapter and is excited for the future of this story. If you want to find out who the random characters who showed up throughout the story like Connor, Madison, and Brandon check out my Power Rangers story. This is a direct spinoff of that series, so check it out if you want.
