Au. Kind of, not really. This is my first fanfiction. Barry has enough to worry about with his new powers, his day job, his non-existent love life, and oh right, catching all the meta-humans created from the particle explosion. Until the arrival of a new girl catches him off guard. Will he be fast enough to figure her out, or will he be left standing in the dust?

Olivia Blake. Regular, run-of-the-mill, newly-minted professional fashion photographer with an affinity for alternative music. Your unfriendly neighborhood deaf girl. Or at least I was. Until the particle accelerator exploded and my life was changed forever. Now, I have to deal with crazy meta-humans and powers I can't even begin to understand. - OC Story, now off hiatus!
