I wake up confused. What happened? Then I remember the fight I had with Eddie. I get up and go to my kitchen and open a bottle of whiskey. I do not feel like being sober. I take a huge gulp and walk up the stairs. I look at my reflection. My dark skin looked tired, my afro hair is messy and shrinking. In other words, I look terrible. I take another sip of my whiskey and go to bed. I lie down and look up at the ceiling.
"What do I do?" I think to myself. I turn over and that's when it happened. The water all around me started floating. I look at the water bubble in front of me. I try not to make any slight movements. As I reach out slowly a stream of water reaches out around me. The stream and I get closer and closer before I touch it. As soon as I touched it the water burst and falls to the ground in little droplets. I look at myself in the mirror and my inner nerd starts to flare up. I get up out of my bed still a little tipsy and think of all the possibilities or reasons that could come from this. Wait a minute.... I've been shot. Why can't I feel that pain right now. I got to the mirror and look under my shirt. The bullet wound is almost completely gone. Incredible. This... this is impossible. That's when I remember the flash. The speed he runs at is theoretical. I open up my laptop and search for everything on the streak. The first thing that pops up is Iris's blog. That reminds me of Eddie but I try to push him out of my mind. As I look through the post it seems that some
people believe he's real and some think it's a public hallucination. As I gather my research I look at all the cases he has solved. That's when it clicks. I should spy on the flash at star labs to make sure I can trust him. But to do that I have to gain control of my powers just in case if anything goes wrong. I grab my coat and head for my door. Lucky for me, I know just the place to work on them.
