The flash origins
When Chris was 7, something tragic happened, one night he was awoken by the sounds of his mothers screams and the whoosh of something moving quickly through the house. As he came downstairs there where two streaks of lightning, one yellow and the other red, before he knew it, Chris was blocks away from his home, when he got back the place was a wreck and then the paramedics have taken his mom to the hospital, later he received news that she was in a comma and they didn't know when or if she would wake up, little did Chris know, this would lead up to events that would forever change his life.
7 years have gone since the attack and Chris's grandfather moved in the mansion Chris lived at. His grandpa is a scientist who has a small lab situated in a small tree house. In there he has interesting machines spread about and a shelf full of chemicals. One day Chris went up in the lab, "I wander what he could be working on with these chemicals, I never seen him do anything with them, they stay on the same shelf in the same position, maybe he doesn't know what to do with them yet?" He asked himself, his grandpa had these chemicals for years and they still had the corks on. Then there was the rumble of thunder and the crack of lightning. "Well looks like there's gonna be a storm tonight." Chris said but just as he was about to leave he got struck by lightning and chemicals spilled on him. His grandpa heard the sound of the treehouse/lab being hit and rushed to find the tree that it stood on knocked over. "CHRIS? CHRIS ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" he asked and when he got no response he ran over to find him unconscious. "Why did I make the lab from metal?" he asked himself.
TIME SKIP
Many months have passed since Chris got struck by the lightning and woke up in his bed. 'Must have been a bad dream.' He thought to himself as he walked downstairs his grandfather looked very happy to see him. "Chris its so good to see you up after 9 months." He said. "I was out for 9 months?" asked Chris. Yes you where I was afraid you would end up like your mom but I never gave up hope. "Ok well I'm going out, bye grandpa." Said Chris and he walked out the door. Later he walked around the city, then strange things started to happen, when he would turn his head to look at something time almost seemed to stop and his hands started to vibrate at impossible speeds and his thought process seemed to speed up faster than thought possible. He then went in an ally to so he could figure this out and do it where he wouldn't be bothered. He then felt the urge to run, run like his life depended on it somehow and he couldn't explain it, and so he ran up the ally with impossible speeds and was at the end in almost half of a second. "What is happening to me?" He asked himself as he ran back to the other end and the same thing happened again. "How did this happen? I don't remember gaining super speed, unless, I got struck by lightning and got doused with loads of chemicals so that maybe a possibility, there's a race car track not too far from here, maybe I could test how fast I can go there." So he made his way down there in about an hour.
When he got there he was right about it being empty and no one was around so this was the perfect opportunity to test his new speed, he got on the starting point and got in an Olympic runners pose and took off running as fast as he possibly could, yellow streaks of electricity flying behind him as he ran, he ran faster and faster, running this fast gave him a brilliant sense of freedom, he felt like every bad thing that has happened in his life slipped away and was replaced happiness he hasn't felt since the attack. After he finished running around the track for about 10 minutes he used his new speed to run home, but then he realized he needed to practice on dodging walls and buildings as he did clip the side of one on his way back but when he got back it was gone. "Maybe the lightning strike did more than gibe me super speed, maybe I got super healing too. He pondered over this as he went inside for dinner and went to bed.
Sonic's POV
So I just got done foiling another one of Eggman's "take over the world" schemes but then chaos control activated and so I ended up here, I don't know where I am or what this place is but I'm gonna find out and get me and my friends back home. Oh great, more people out to get me, shouldn't they know to give up already? Next thing I know these guys in formula 1 cars come in thinking they can catch me? Oh well I guess they just gotta learn the hard way that no one can keep up with me I think as I race off with them not too far behind
Chris POV
I lay awake in bed trying to get to sleep, then I heard a whoosh followed by sirens, must be my Uncle Sam on another high speed chase with the S team, may as well try to help and put my power to the test. But I need a disguise, got it, just a hat, new shirt, shorts, and shades and I'm out the door in a flash, hmm, catchy name, but whatever. I soon caught up to them not too far away on a highway about 25 miles away and then I see who or should I say what they were chasing, a hedgehog, I'm chasing a blue hedgehog down a highway at 370 miles an hour judging by the speed indicator in the cars and then I hear the team sending out half their team at me probably thinking I was a threat and then the other half continued after the hedgehog, great, so much for that now I got to shake these guys off me. I ran around the intersection and over a few openings to other highways but it's hard when you have lightning shooting out behind me as I run. I did this a few more times till I lost them, now for that hedgehog. Moments later I caught up with them again, it was hard to do so because they had covered lots of ground while I was losing the other two that chased me, I really had to push myself to catch up. Soon I was neck and neck with this hedgehog and then he had a look of shock on his face, I guess no one else has been able to keep up with him like this before.
Sonic POV
Ok I am going crazy right now, first I'm being chased by cops in super cars and now THIS happens, nobody has been able to keep up with me like this before, "who are you?" I ask the boy, he looked shocked that happened like he's never seen a talking hedgehog before, "You can call me the Flash" he tells me. "Look I don't want any trouble, I just want to find my friends and go home." I tell him. "Ok ok I'll help you get back home." He tells me but then I just found out the hard way that I ran out of road and went sailing through the air making some power windmills spin faster as the wind from my wake spins them kind of overpowering the city making it light up brighter than a christmas tree, you know this place really isn't all that bad, until I fall into a pool, the flash came over and saved me right as I was about to drown, did I mention that I can't swim? Anyway he helps me up and he takes off the hat and glasses and tells me his name is Chris, "My name is Chris Thorndyke, what's your name? "My name is Sonic the hedgehog."
