"Where there is a flame, Someone's bound to get burned." In which the villain falls for the hero. OC/Barry Allen
Past:
"You have school tomorrow." My mother scolded as she opened my bedroom door. I jumped and attempted to hide my phone under the covers.
I bit my lip. "I can't sleep," I told my mom. She smiled.
"5 more minutes and I'm coming back in," She said. "If I find you on your phone you won't be seeing it until Friday."
I rolled my eyes and nodded. Of course, my brother is probably in his room playing on his phone but mom and dad think that just because he has all straight A's that makes him an extra good kid, a kid who doesn't break rules.
My mom closed my door. I sat my phone down after setting my alarm for 6:25 in the morning. I sighed as I looked at my clock. It's currently 11:37 and that means I'll get less then 7 hours of sleep when I can barely function with 9.
I laid in bed, thinking about all the homework that I didn't do and about how my mom will react when she finds out I'm failing my elective. Just one stupid practice report that I didn't turn in. Next year instead of band I'm doing computers.
But that's when I realized that I had left the window open. I got out of bed and closed it. I smiled and thought about heat and fire, soon heat formed around me.
This was my 'gift.' Thats what I'd like to think of it as. Although it scares me at times. My family knows nothing about it. That's how I want it to be. I'm eleven years old, I don't want my family to fear me. It's bad enough I fear myself.
I got back in bed. I closed my eyes and I fell asleep.
I was in the middle of a nightmare and It only felt like minutes later when I heard a scream. I smelt smoke. I pushed the covers over my legs and ran down the stairs. "Mom! Dad! Jake!"
Did I do this?
"Sam!?" I heard someone yell from just rooms away.
"Jake!"
I ran over to his room. The door was blocked by fire.
I tried to control it. I tried and tried. I was to scared to try and go through it. I have never attempted it.
I'll never forget his screams. I will never forget how my mom never looked at me the same. How she never admitted that Jake should've been the one to make it out.
Present day:
"Come on Sam!" I heard a familiar voice yell.
"Don't rush me Jay."
His response was to roll his eyes. I really don't know what the rush was. He just said we were going somewhere and he told me to dress normal.
When I finished getting ready I went outside towards Jay.
Next thing I know I am in his arms and he is running with super speed. I recognized where we were going and our surroundings. We were going to Earth one.
About a minute later Jay came to a stop. "I need you to stay here for awhile."
I stood there, feeling sick to my stomach. "A little warning next time?"
Jay didn't answer me. "I need you to watch the flash in the world," Jay told me. "Gain there trust."
I was confused. "Why the sudden plan?" I asked. "What importance is he to us?"
"Not him, his speed."
The realization hit me. I nodded. "A little planning would have been nice." I stated.
Jay then zoomed off.
I stood there, some place in Central City. I guess it's time to find my doppelgänger in this Earth. Hopefully she's alive or at least interesting.
AU: I know that the first chapter was a little rushed and all but I just wanted to get out most of the main stuff. More will be explained in future chapters and please feel free to leave a review telling me what you thought. I am fine eith constructive criticism but please don't just say you dislike it. If you dislike it tell me why so I can work on my mistakes and make this a better story.
I do not own The Flash or any of the plots, characters or settings besides my own.
