"Come on kid, keep up!" the Flash called over his shoulder to his young sidekick as they raced through Central City.

"Slow down, my legs aren't as long as yours!" panted Kid Flash, dodging pedestrians.

"You'll miss dinner!" Flash teased, making a sharp right past the grocery store.

"I never miss-AHHH!" Kid Flash collapsed suddenly, skidding a few feet and then curling into a fetal position as soon as he stopped.

"Kid!" the Flash zoomed over to the eleven year olds side and dropped to one knee. "Are you alright? What happened? Lemme look!" he said, trying to pull Kid Flash into a sitting position.

"Owww, just let me die…." moaned Kid Flash.

Flash grabbed his shoulders and shook him slightly. "Kid, where are you hurt?" he said, seriously.

Kid flash sat up with a wince and grabbed his ankle. "Ow ow ow, I think I broke something!"

"You broke your ankle?" Flash made a grab for his foot, but Kid Flash jerked it away.

"No don't touch it! I'm fine."

Flash raised an eyebrow. "Five seconds ago, you were dying, and now you're fine? What happened?"

Kid Flash coughed slightly. "I…. stubbedmyfootonthecornerofthestore."

"You stubbed your toe? That's what all the melodramatics were for?"

Kid Flash glared at him. "I've only had super speed for three months; I've never stubbed my toe while running before! This hurts!"

Flash stood up and shrugged. "It's not life threatening. Come on, walk it off."

Kid Flash sighed, then looked up at his mentor hopefully and lifted his arms up.

Flash stood confused for a second, and then shook his head. "No! I'm not carrying you! Your foot's not broken, you're fine!"

Kid Flash sniffled. "O-ok, I'll try, but maybe my aunt will be mad when she heard that the Flash made me run home after I got hurt."

"You're going to tell on me? Wow Kid, that's low," Flash said. "Alright, come on," He knelt down so Kid Flash could climb onto his back, and then took off. "You're the third speedster to be a Flash, and the very first one to ever stub his toe while speeding."

"My mom always said I was special!"

"Yes you are, Kid, yes you are."
