Barry Allen, Zoom
*This story idea was made by masso 2010 in their story The Flash Vigilante, I am simply expanding on it and putting my own style to it. The stories will be much more like what would actually appear on a television show. I do not own The Flash, it's owned by the CW. If I owned it, do you really think Season 3 would have been so awful?*
My name is Barry Allen and I am the Fastest man alive. When I was a child, I saw my mother being murdered by something impossible, in a storm of Blue and Red lightning. I was all of a sudden down the block from my house, and by the time I had run home my mother was dead and my father had been framed for it. I was taken in by Joe West, the father of my childhood crush Iris West. Joe had later put me up for adoption because of how much of a brat I was, but I never got taken in. I now live alone. This...is my story.
It all started one day when I was working my job at CCPD, the Central City Police Department. I'm a CSI, or a Crime Scene Investigator, so of course I was in my Crime Lab working on a robbery that had happened earlier that day. I was as mad as ever since I was being trapped at work while the STAR Labs Particle Accelerator was turned on. "Dammit!" I shouted while I threw my beakers on the ground. I had hoped Captain Singh hadn't heard me do that, because it was the third time this week. I had awful anger issues, yet no way to express it. I rubbed my eyes, sitting down then looking out the window. The case showed no end, as the chemical compoud in the liquid that was left behind was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was like it didn't even exist yet, like it was to be discovered years from now. I stared out my window, gazing at the massive STAR Labs Building. I looked out at the crowd and wondered if I knew anyone there, but while I was zoning out I heard a knock at my door. I spin my chair around to see Joe standing there. "Allen, I'm gonna be heading out. Singh will be out in a half hour. Be out before then." He said with a straight, yet worried face as he saw the chemicals on the floor. "Of course Detective West, thank you for telling me" I said as I spun back around. Joe lingered for a few seconds before deciding to leave. I heard the accelerator turn on as I looked down and held my head. I hated working at CCPD so much. I have a skill for Crime Analysis, but it payed so little and I was treated like absolute shit. Suddenly, it started to rain. I noticed some water splashing on my floor as I was picking up broken glass, so I went over to the chain to close my skylight. I started pulling the chain to close it, but stopped because I felt something...odd. I looked over at the chemicals both on my shelves and on the floor as they started to float upwards...just like the water in my fish tank the night my mom died. Before I had time to question it, all of a sudden a massive BOOM came from STAR Labs followed by a wave of blue light through the sky. I looked in Awe at the building in shock, but then a bolt of lighting went through my skylight and directly at me. A wave of black and blue light blasted through my lab while I was blown back in to the chemicals on my shelves. I later learned that Singh and Joe heard the strike and came up, then called an ambulence. After that day, I was in a coma for 9 months.
A year and a half ago, I woke up confused. I was still at the hospital, and the doctors were surprised I was still alive because my heart kept stopping...Or at least, that's what they thought. I signed some paperwork and retrived my things, my phone somehow surviving the chemicals (Thank god I got a good phone, thank you Samsung) and my wallet still containing everything. I walked out in a fresh pair of clothes that some of the paramedics got from my crappy apartment during my 2nd month and decided that I needed to calm down. I took a walk down to the 7-11 near the hospital and grabbed a liter of Dr Pepper because it always helps, and I went up to the register to pay. There was a guy in front of me, and I noticed him reaching for his jacket pocket. All of a sudden everything slowed down and I could see him pulling out a gun so I grabbed the gun from him and pinned him to the counter. He shouted at me and tried to escape but...I was stronger. I didn't know how, but...Lightning gave me abs. The store clerk was thankful and decided to give me my liter for free along with a lottery ticket. I smiled (which is a rare occasion, trust me) and told him it was no problem. The attempted robber was arrested and I walked home happily. I got home and immediatly got to making myself some food (I made a grilled cheese and some tater tots, the tots made from scratch of course.) and then I hopped on the computer and started doing research on what happened to me and while I was "asleep". Apparently, a minor detail in the Particle Accelerator caused a dark matter explosion and it effected the entire city. I did more research and discovered that there were people with amazing powers, powers to control weather, time, even people. I got to thinking and said "Could this be what happened to me? Is that why everything slowed down? Why I'm so strong?" but I got distraced. I looked at my TV and down at the lottery ticket the Clerk gave me that I had scratched on my way over. The adorable ticket girl (I think her name was Lisa or something) on the TV had a smile on her face as she announced the last winning number. I stared at the TV in shock...19 43 52 20...the exact numbers on my ticket. I just won the lottery. This all happened in one day, over a year ago when my life changed forever...
Hey, John here! Hope you all enjoyed the first chapter :) excuse any grammar mistakes, I'm not that great at grammar. Once again please check out the story this was based on by masso 2010.
