Okay, this is NOT the first chapter, just a little preview of one of our young heroes.

Tap. Tap. Tap. His fingers tapped on the edge of the armrest on the most uncomfortable plastic hair anyone in the history of the word has ever sat in. Is that an exaggeration, maybe so. But he didn't give a single damn if he was talking hyperbolically. Bored, anxious, and uncomfortable Carter Marcus Allen waited as his Aunt Iris talked to a lawyer in the next room.

Maybe showing up to a West-Allen family reunion claiming to be a distant cousin of Barry's was a bad idea. Maybe what was a worse idea was doing so on the anniversary of his cousin, Wally's death.

Dick move kid.

Barry proclaimed that he had no siblings, but had a cousin that lived in Detroit, named Malcolm. Maybe this Carter was Malcolm's kid. He was. As if Iris believed it.

It took her a year to believe that she was married to the Flash. As if she'd just, automatically accept this huge wrench in their family status quo after so many of those having happened over the many years.

Barry becoming the Flash, Barry's dad dying, his twin brother that no one knew existed being the Reverse Flash, Wally getting powers, Bart coming from the future and Wally dying within months of each other.

You'd think after all that she'd be more inclined to accepting that Barry's cousin that she had met, if only a handful of times, had a son in 2027, right before Darkseid attacked.

Even still, she didn't accept it, her life was settling, Barry retired as the Flash after losing his powers in 2026, Bart took up the mantle. Has held it strong for fifteen years. Hasn't had a Kid Flash of his own.

So it's no wonder Iris is hesitant with accepting Carter into her family.

Especially since he came to them wearing a New York Giants tee shirt. Wally's favorite team's shirt.

Mde her heart sink. Nonetheless Carter didn't mean to do that, he didn't know. He was born eleven years after Wally kicked the bucket. There is no way, he could've known about Wally's existence. Let alone his demise.

It was rainy outside, he tried to match the tapping of his fingers to the pitter patter of the rain on the glass ceiling here in the police precinct.

No, he wasn't under arrest, Iris brought him here, to Bart's workplace, hoping future boy could confirm his identity. Or run a DNA test in his CSI lab, but Bart wasn't at the station at this moment.

Carter looked up at the skylight. The clouds rumbled and flickers blue with lightning. Thunder boomed loudly. He looked back down to the floor as he saw a cart of chemicals being placed in front of the main desk.

They were replacing a bunch of supplies in the crime lab. As many of them spilled last week and it took this long to get new ones.

He sighed, and slumped his chin into the palm of his hand. Holding his head leaning on the side of the chair.

Boom!

The thunder struck again, louder this time. No one was phased, here in Central City loud thunder was more common than green lights on the intersections.

Unbenounced to anyone, a man walked into the station. A black man, in a white suit, he carried a red umbrella which he closed and placed on the ground by his feet.

Carter gazed at him for a moment with his crystal blue eyes, he held a weird cell phone in his hand. He squinted to get a better look.

Oh shit.

The man pressed a button and the glass ceiling came down to the ground. Shattering on the heads of the people inside. The man got ready to press another button as Carter stood up to run and get Iris. As he chased passed the cart of chemicals a bolt of lightning came and struck down next to him sending him crashing into the cart.

Blacking out on contact.

Thanks for reading this rather short preview and quick origin of one of our heroes. The first chapter will be up soon. I still need the team's sixth member. So please send in some characters. Preferably a Wonder Woman or Aquaman like character but I'm not too picky.

In the first real chapter I'll announce who our team is. And start their adventure. Till then, peace!
