This is the part where I'm supposed to do the whole intro thingy. Rainbow Dash, fastest girl alive... But you know all that already. Alright, let's get to the good stuff. You see that smoke? That's a fire on Western and 3rd in downtown Equestria. And that blur? That's me on my way to it. I'm going 352 miles an hour. And it's a slow day.

Rainbow was indeed running towards the fire. She was wearing her suit again and just sped past a fire truck. She was able to catch what they were saying.

"This is Ladder 52. We're still at least two minutes out." The fire chief said into his radio.

"People are going to die in there!" A voice told him.

"I know!" The fire chief said back.

Meanwhile at S.T.O.R.M. Labs. Soarin was walking up to his chair and notices something.

"Rainbow? Rainbow?!" He said into his com.

"What? Did I miss it?" Rainbow asked when she stop.

"You overshot by about six blocks." Soarin tells her.

"My bad." Rainbow said and ran back.

"Page! My daughter! Has anyone seen my daughter? Page! Whoa!" A woman calls out before a blur passes her and ran into the burning building.

"You there yet?" Soarin asked as Spitfire walked up behind him.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

Soarin quickly turned off the computers before turning to Spitfire.

"Nothing." He lied.

"Are you talking to Rainbow?" Spitfire asked again.

"Who?" Soarin asked back trying to keep her from knowing what they were doing.

"Rainbow Dash? Struck by lightning? Was in a coma for nine months? Woke up being able to run faster than the speed of sound? Ring a bell?" Spitfire asked again knowing something was going on.

"No. Haven't talked to her." Soarin said not sure he could keep this up.

Sadly, Soarin forgot to turn off the speakers as Rainbow's voice came through.

"Soarin, there's fire everywhere! Soarin, are you still there?"

Spitfire narrowed her eyes as if to say, "We have to talk" at Soarin as he looked away.

Rainbow was inside the burning building looking for anyone that was still trapped inside. She quickly jumps back in shock as a piece of the building fell in front of her. Good thing her suit was just like the firemen suits.

"Mom? Mommy!" A young girl calls out.

Rainbow’s eyes widen, knowing what would happen if she doesn't get her out. Seconds later, the little girl was outside and soon all the people were out and the fire was put out, all before the firemen even got there.

Rainbow ran to an alley, her mask once more off.

"Everybody's out. What else you got for me, Soarin?" Rainbow smirked.

It fades when she heard someone else.

"Rainbow, it’s Spitfire." She heard.

"Hey Spitfire." Rainbow said knowing she was in trouble, "How's your day?"

"Get back to S.T.O.R.M. Labs. Now." She orders.

"On my way." Rainbow said and started to run.

She didn't even take a step before almost falling over. She caught herself wondering what just happened. She shook it off and ran back to S.T.O.R.M. Labs.

"Have you both lost your minds? Who do you think you are?" Spitfire asked, not trying to yell.

"Well, I'm the eyes and ears, and she's the feet." Soarin told her.

"This isn't funny. You could have gotten yourself killed. You can't be running around the city like some supersonic fireman." Spitfire said getting upset.

"Why not? This is what we talked about: Me using my speed to do good. We talked about you helping us contain other people who might have been affected by the particle accelerator explosion. Meta-humans. And aside from Stormy Weather, we haven't found any. People in this city still need help." Rainbow reminded her.

"And I can help them. We can help them." Rainbow added.

"Can you please say something?" Spitfire asked as Lightning Dust walked up.

"I think what Spitfire is saying, in her own spectacularly angry way, is that we are just beginning to understand what your body is capable of. Not to sound like a broken record, Rainbow Dash... I do caution restraint." She said.

Rainbow sighed, she knew they were looking after her, but what good is staying in S.T.O.R.M. Labs going to do? She has this speed, why can't she use it?

"Know your limits." Lightning Dust said as she walks away.

"Don't expect me to patch you up every time you break something." Spitfire told Rainbow.

Rainbow sighed and started to walk away before Soarin stopped her.

"Hey, uh... Anything happen out there today? The sensors in the suit were kicking back some weird telemetry, like your vitals spiked for a few seconds." Soarin asked her.

Rainbow wasn't sure what it was, but it passes and she didn't think they had to know. But if it shows up again, she will let them know.

"Never Better." She said before her phone buzzed.

"Hey, Principal Celestia, everything all right?" Rainbow asked.

"Great. I got a great school... wonderful students... teachers ready to teach... Luna checking on classes. I'm only missing one thing. Can you guess what that is?" Celestia said then asked.

Rainbow sighed. She was late, again!

"I'll be right there." She said and speeds off.

"When do you think she'll realize she didn't take her clothes?" Lightning Dust asked holding on her and Rainbow's Backpacks.

Rainbow reached her school and was about to head in when she realized she was still wearing her suit. She groans, there was no way she'll make it home to change and get back here. She was late and she didn't want Celestia or Luna to chew her out.

"You got to slow down at some points." She heard before her backpack was in front of her.

"How did you get here so fast?" Rainbow asked Lightning Dust.

"That my secret." Lightning Dust smiled as Rainbow changed into her clothes.

The two entered the school and Rainbow met up with her friends.

"Late again?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, got held up." Rainbow said, not ready to tell the others about what she was really doing.

"Rainbow we can understand you're take it easy because you got out of the coma, but can you please get here on time for once?" Applejack asked.

"I'll try. But you should know living with the Principal and Vice-Principal isn't easy." Rainbow reminds them.

"By the way, did anyone hear about the fire earlier?" Pinkie piped up.

"Yes, I did." Sunset said, "I also heard that a red blur got all the people out safely and put the fire out before the firemen got there."
"Wow, whoever did that must be really fast!" Pinkie said.

"But how? There’s nothing about people traveling that fast. Unless it’s some kind of robot, there is no way a person can move so fast." Twilight said.

"Just like how Stormy Weather can control the weather?" Rarity asked.

Twilight was quiet, She got a hold of Stormy's suit, but found nothing that showed Stormy using technology to control the weather.

"Look Twilight, just because you think it’s impossible, doesn't mean it can't happen. You just need accept that not everything is done in science." Rainbow told her.

"But it make no sense!" Twilight shouted.

"Well, to tell you all the truth, I'm glad that red blur saved everyone from the fire. It would be really bad if someone got hurt." Fluttershy spoke up.

"The blur must be a superhero!" Pinkie shouted.

"You were reading comic books again." Twilight said.

"Well, to tell you all the truth. I'm going to make a blog about the Red Blur. Hopefully he or she can see it and many give us a reason for what he or she does." Sunset said.

"Rainbow Dash." Celestia called out.

"Gotta run." Rainbow said and ran up to her.

"Principal Celestia, I'm sorry." Rainbow said.

"I'm starting to think it’s my actual name considering how often you say it to me." Celestia said.

"I'm dealing with a lot right now." Rainbow said.

"Look, I know you are. Believe me; I'm dealing with it, too. I've always had a very simple set of beliefs. Gravity makes things fall. Water makes things wet. And up until a few weeks ago, I believed the fastest person could run a mile in four minutes. Not four seconds." Celestia said.

"I could do it in three." Rainbow bragged.

Celestia looked at her and Rainbow quickly drop her smug look.

"Not relevant." She quickly said.

"You haven't said anything to your friends about all this, have you?" Celestia asked.

"No, I made you and Luna a promise. I keep my promises." Rainbow said, though she wanted to tell them.

"Keep on lying like that. You're liable to get struck by lightning again." Celestia told her and walked away.

Rainbow look down, she remembered in the past, she didn't always agree with Celestia.

Flashback

Young Rainbow Dash was running as fast as she could try to get to the station to see her mother. She was stopped as a car pulled up and a younger version of Principal Celestia stepped out and looks at her. Later she took Rainbow home where a younger version of Vice-Principal Luna walks up to them.

"Rainbow ran away again?" Luna said.

"Yes, and you know why." Celestia said.

"I'll let you two talk." Luna said and walks away.

"I want to see my mom." Rainbow said before Celestia could.

"I already said no, Rainbow." Celestia said, not wanting to go through this again.

"She didn't do those things. She didn't hurt my dad." Rainbow said.

"The police say otherwise." Celestia said already tired of this talk.

"I was there that night. I saw. There was a woman." Rainbow said.

"Yeah, I know. We've gone through this already." Celestia said.

"Then why can't I go see her?" Rainbow asked.

"Because I said so." Celestia said.

"You're not my mother! You can't tell me what to do!" Rainbow shouted at her.

"Right now, I am the only adult that gives a damn what happens to you, so yes, I can tell you what to do. Now go to your room." Celestia said getting angry at Rainbow.

"I hate you!" Rainbow shouted before running to her room.

Celestia sign as Luna place her hand on her shoulder.

Flashback End

Rainbow was sitting in her last class of the day and it was one of the most boring classes of all. Her science class. She was able to bring her grade up, but Science Fair wasn't going easy on her. He didn't even welcome Rainbow back after she got out of her coma. He just set all her missed work on her desk and gives her a day to get caught up on it. Rainbow was tired of her science teacher being show hard on her. It’s like he never even liked her. Good thing she will talk to Celestia and Luna about this once class is over.

She turns to see Sunset typing on her laptop, writing the blog about her. Of course Sunset didn't know that she was about Rainbow. She caught the name of the title, "The Red Blur". Rainbow raises her eyebrow, when she's in the suit she leaves a red blur behind, with some electricity coming off her. She better get the name she got out pretty fast.

"Um...Sunset? Why are you calling it "The Red Blur"?" Rainbow asked.

"It the only name I can go with. I have seen some people call he or she "The Streak." But I get the feeling that name was taken." Sunset answer.

"Okay..." Rainbow said.

"Listen I might need some help on my science work. There is no way I can get nine months of science homework done in one day." Rainbow said.

"I'm sure we can help. You're going to tell Principal Celestia about this right?" Sunset said then asked.

"Yeah, there’s something wrong with that guy." Rainbow said.

School ended for the day and Rainbow and her friends helped Rainbow carry her work out. She already told Celestia and Luna about Science Fair and they were talking to him in the classroom.

"Science Fair we had enough. You had been pushing Rainbow too hard. She just got out of a coma a few weeks ago. You need to stop this or we have to fire you." Celestia said.

"FIRE ME?!" Science Fair yells.

"Rainbow Dash is all about sports, sports, and more sports! She’s wasting her brain. She needs to be smarter!" He added.

"By forcing nine month work she missed and giving her a day to do it all? That not what you were here for. You're supposing help students by teaching them." Luna said.

"What?! What good will that do? The students just goof off and play, they need to get smarter. They need to push their brains." Science Fair said.

"And you need to rethink your goals! They are not lab rats, they are people. One more report about this on any student and you're fired. Clear?" Celestia said.

Science Fair just growled, before leaving.

"And Rainbow’s going to take all the time she needs to get caught up on her work." Luna added.

Celestia watched as Science Fair walks away. For a second she thought she saw his hand glow, but fade before she could get a good look. Celestia was hard on Rainbow, but she does care for her. If everyone just did work all day, then some might question why they are living. Having fun is just as good as working.

Rainbow groaned as she tried to find the answer to a question she had no clue about. She finally grabbed her head and messed her hair up.

"GRAHHH! I can't find the answer to this stupid question!" She shouted.

"Maybe you should take a break?" Fluttershy said, knowing Rainbow was losing it.

"Fluttershy’s right, even my brain started to catch fire after all this work." Twilight said.

"I never thought I heard you say those words Twilight." Rainbow said as she got up and walks up to counter and orders a drink.

As Rainbow waited she saw Science Fair walked up to the doors of Sugarcube Corner and blast them apart scaring everyone there.

"Listen up people. Your free time is over! No more breaks. You will study and you will get smarter. All this time playing and goof off make you stupid. So this is the first building to go!" He said before his hand glow and start to fire at the machines that make the drinks and cupcakes.

Rainbow was shocked. Was Science Fair a Meta-Human? Before she could do anything, A cop ran inside and pull his gun.

"Freeze!" He yells.

"Don't think you are any smarter than what you are." Science Fair said and made his hands glow.

Rainbow didn't care who saw her, she just had to get the cop out of here. Using her speed, she zooms around her teacher and grabs the cop as Science Fair fired. Rainbow dropped him off and ran back in only to see Science Fair drive off. She was about to run after him, when she felt dizzy. She tried to stay awake, but her vision blackened as she passed out.

"Rainbow, Rainbow, Rainbow!"

Rainbow’s vision started to fade back in as she saw her friends in front of her.

"We turned around and you were gone. What happened? Are you okay?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I... I went after him to try and get the plates." Rainbow said.

"Wha-?" Twilight asked.

"And I... I fainted." Rainbow added as she got up.

They walked back inside where the police was overlooking the area. Luckily no one was hurt, but the story was too weird. Celestia and Luna saw Rainbow and her friends before running up to her.

"Rainbow, are you alright?" Luna said.

"Vice-Principal Luna, go easy. We found her outside. She fainted." Twilight said.

"You want me to get you a paramedic, Rainbow?" Fluttershy asked.

"No, I'm fine. Thanks, Fluttershy." Rainbow said.

"I thought I was dead. I saw the guy’s hands glow, and then- boom. Suddenly I'm outside. I have no idea how I got there." The cop told the others.

Celestia heard that and knew Rainbow saved the cop.

"Let me talk to you for a second." Celestia said and pulled her away from the others.

"You chased the one behind this, didn't you?" Celestia asked.

"Yeah, it was Science Fair, he got powers too." Rainbow said.

"And what were you going to do when you caught him? Huh? Ask him nicely to pull over? You're not bulletproof." Celestia said upset she would put herself in danger.

"Wait, are you?" She asked remembering what she just said.

"No, but-" Rainbow started to say, but was cut off.

"No more heroics. Chasing bad guys is not your job. It's the police. You're not a cop. Promise me." Celestia said.

"Promise." Rainbow said.

"And you know your friends are not stupid. Start making better excuses than "I fainted." Celestia said and walked away.

Rainbow just looked at her. Asking her to stop using her speed? She just accepted what she can do and now she doesn't want Rainbow using it anymore? That will have to wait. She needs to find out what making her pass out and she had to get to S.T.O.R.M. Labs.

"You lied to us. How could you not tell us you're experiencing dizzy spells? We're your doctor's. God knows what's going on inside your cells are in a constant state of flux. You could be experiencing cardiopulmonary failure or a transient ischemic attack." Spitfire yells at Rainbow.

"Mini stroke." Soarin cleared up.

"Probably not." Lightning Dust said.

"You of all people should know that in science, we share. We do not keep secrets." Spitfire said and walks off.

"Wow... I haven't seen anyone make her that angry since Freeze Burn." Soarin said.

"Freeze Burn was Spitfire's fiance? The one that he died the night of the accelerator explosion?" Rainbow asked.

She got the time to learn about her new friends. She could understand what Spitfire was going through, they both lost loved ones after all.

"Yeah. He is... missed. Now... Let's figure out why this is happening to you." Lightning Dust said.

Rainbow soon found herself in a different room with a treadmill and a big pile of shack boxes behind it.

"We're all set." Soarin said and notices Rainbow looking at the boxes.

"A little padding. Just in case." He told her.

"You're sure about this, Soarin?" Rainbow asked.

"Most home treadmills have a maximum speed of about 12 miles per hour. This one has been Soarin'ed. Trust me. It can handle your speed." Soarin said as he left the room.

"Okay." Rainbow said and stepped on it. Soon it started to speed up and Rainbow went faster.

In the other room, Spitfire, Soarin, and Lightning Dust all checked the screens as data of Rainbow appeared.

"Heart rate, blood pressure, nerve conduction all normal." Spitfire said.

"For Rainbow." Lightning Dust said.

"Brainwave functions within standard limits." Spitfire said.

"I told you the treadmill could take it." Soarin laughed.

"Spitfire." Lightning Dust said seeing something on the screen.

"Look at the glucose levels." She said.

"Oh, my God. Of course." Spitfire said seeing the problem.

"Right? It was so obvious. Glucose levels. Rainbow! We think we know why you keep-" Lighting Dust said only to see Rainbow Dash faint once again and crash into the boxes behind her.

"-passing out." Lighting Dust finished as Soarin ran in to check on her.

Celestia had returned home and went to Rainbow's room. She had everything about sports on her wall. Celestia sighed, she knew she was being hard on Rainbow, but she was worried. She didn't want to get hurt. She looks around and saw no sign of her. Celestia looked as she remembers what happened the last time Rainbow disappeared like this.

Flashback

Young Celestia enters her house and saw Luna watching TV.

"Rainbow!" She calls, but there was no sign of the rainbow haired girl.

"Where's Rainbow?" She asked Luna.

"Taking a shower." Luna said not looking her in the eyes.

"At three o'clock in the afternoon? If I go up those stairs, am I going to see Rainbow Dash? Or are going to have a talk about who’s favoring her more?" Celestia said.

"I'm sorry, sister. But don't worry. I know where she went." Luna said not wanting to fight with her.

"Me too." Celestia said.

Flashback End

Celestia turned to Rainbow Dash’s desk and notices something, it was a S.T.O.R.M Labs shirt. Celestia sighed, she knew that S.T.O.R.M. Labs was helping figuring out her speed, but why did she keep going there? She spots a newspaper and read its cover. She gasped before running to find a computer to see if what she saw wasn't true.

Rainbow opens her eyes to see Spitfire and Soarin nearby and she quickly placed together what happened.

"I passed out again?" She asked.

"Total metabolic failure brought on by acute hypoglycemia." Spitfire said.

Good thing Rainbow already knew what that met.

"I'm not eating enough. So an I.V. bag and I'm good to go?" Rainbow said as she got up.

Soarin turns her to the I.V. bag and Rainbow was shocked on the amount that she had.

"Try 40. Guess you were thirsty. We're going to need to fashion you a new diet based on your metabolic changes. I've done a few calculations. You need to consume an amount equal to roughly 850 tacos. Unless we're talking cheese and guac, which is like a whole other set of equations." Soarin said before trying to figure out how much Rainbow should eat.

"For Mexican, I recommend Tito's." Celestia said as she appears in to door way.

"On Bruckner Avenue?" Soarin ask a little afraid.

"Best burrito in the city." Celestia told them.

"Principal Celestia. What brings you to S.T.O.R.M. Labs?" Lighting Dust asked.

"When I couldn't find you at home, I started doing a little research. Turns out there have been reports of a red blur around the city, stopping muggers, rescuing people from burning buildings." She said upset that Rainbow was doing this before she promises her.

You didn't tell her we were working together?" Soarin asked Rainbow.

"Rainbow, I upset with you. You’re not a law enforcer." Celestia said.

"Mm-hmm." Spitfire agrees making Celestia turn to her.

"Don't look at me. I'm on your side." She said.

"Celestia." Lighting Dust spoke up, "We all want what's best for Rainbow."

"If you wanted what was best for Rainbow, you'd try to talk her out of this lunacy instead of encouraging her going out there risking her life." Celestia said.

"You saw a student control the weather. What are the police going to do against someone like that?" Rainbow asked.

"Since the accelerator explosion we suspect there may be more like her." Lightning Dust added.

"And you're going to do what? Catch them? Are you insane? You think because you can run real fast that you're invincible? You're not! You're just a kid. My kid." Celestia almost yelled.

Rainbow had it. She was tired of Celestia not having faith in her. That’s why she liked Luna more. Luna was understanding. Celestia was too overprotective.

"I'm not your kid, Celestia. And you're not my mother. My mother's sitting in Everfree Jail. Wrongfully convicted. You were wrong about her. And you're wrong about this. Now I may not be able to help her, but if I can save someone from a burning building or stop some armed thieves, I'm going to do it. And you can't stop me. So don't try." Rainbow told her upset.

"You think you're so smart. All of you. But you don't know what you don't know. And I hope that you're clever enough to figure it out before somebody gets killed." Celestia said and walked away hurt by Rainbow’s words.

Science Fair made it back to his home and was watching the news. He was shocked to see the Red Blur save the cop that he tried to kill. He thought that the blur was wasting time saving people, when he or she could have been getting smarter. He turned to his armor that he was building. He made the armor to mark people smarter, but he knew the Blur could stop him. Science Fair just had to figure out who the Blur was and how he could stop whoever it was.

Rainbow sat in a chair with Sunset next to her writing her blog. Sunset has gone around the school asking people what they thought about the Red Blur. Many students thought he or she was a hero, while the teachers were afraid he or she will end up like Stormy Weather. Twilight still had trouble believing someone can move that fast and Luna stated she was happy for the Blur saving people. Celestia made no comment. Sunset closed her laptop and turned to Rainbow who’d been upset since this morning.

"Did you and Principal Celestia get in a fight again?" She asked.

"So what if we did?" Rainbow snapped.

"Come on Rainbow I know you and Celestia don't always agree, but don't let yourself go down that path. Remember I went crazy after winning too many crowns and Twilight is just about to go crazy just trying to figure out how someone can move at supersonic speeds." Sunset reminded her.

Rainbow sighed, she knew her friend had a point, but there was a different reason for her anger.

"Celestia is asking me to stop on something I just found out I like. It’s like asking me to stop playing sports. You know me, once my mind is set on it..." Rainbow said.

"There no talking you out of it." Sunset finished.

Rainbow sighed. She doesn't understand. Her newfound speed is helping others, she's helping others and Celestia wants her to stop? How can she? Rainbow loves this power. The feeling she gets when running was great. As if nothing can show her down.

"I heard Principal Celestia is looking for a new science teacher, one that does not force a lot of homework on you." Sunset said breaking Rainbow from her thoughts.

"Yeah I guess that’s ok." Rainbow said.

Luna walks up to them and knelt down to Rainbow.

"Rainbow, can I see you in my office?" She asked.

Rainbow nods and follows Luna to her office. Leaving Sunset confused.

Celestia sat in her office looking at the paper that had Rainbow Dash save people from the fire. The one thing is, there was no picture of Rainbow in her suit. Celestia felt proud Rainbow saved those people but, she was still upset with her. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on her door.

"Come in." She said.

The door blew off it hangars as Science Fair step in with his new armor. Celestia was shocked to see him.

"Hello Celestia. It’s time to get smarter!" He said and raises his hands to fire his beams.

Elsewhere, Rainbow had told Luna what happened between her and Celestia. Luna was shocked at her sister, but could see why Celestia was like that.

"Rainbow, I'm pleased that you are helping people, but I can understand why my sister is acting like this. I know you're not our kid, but we had been raising you so it feels like you are." She said.

"But asking me to stop using my speed? Heck you even smile when I clean up the whole house in ten seconds flat!" Rainbow said.

Luna smiled, that was one of the things she loved about Rainbow’s speed, she could clean the house in no time. In fact she came home one day and found Rainbow use her speed to clean the house before she opened the door.

"I'm not. Rainbow regards what other say, I believe you are doing the right thing." Luna said.

Then they both heard some screams and run out to see the students running. Rainbow stops one of the students to figure out what's up.

"What going on?" She asked.

"There some kind of armor man attacking Principal Celestia's office." The student said.

Rainbow’s eyes widened and turned to Luna who nods. After taking the student, Rainbow uses her speed to put on her suit and run to Celestia's office.

Celestia was appearing to duck under her desk to avoid the beams but she didn't have anywhere to go. Then she heard the sound of a thunder and saw Rainbow next to her in her suit.

"Go!" Rainbow said trying to get her out.

"No." Celestia answered, only to find herself outside the school.

Rainbow ran back to the office only to stop when Science Fair entered the hallway.

"Whoever you are, give yourself up." Rainbow said.

"Sorry red blur, but I'm not stupid." Science Fair said.

He fired his beams, that Rainbow dodged with ease. She then ran up to him only to be clothesline. Rainbow jumps back to her feet and started to run around him. Science Fair just smiled before he slammed the ground knocking her away.

"You are way too easy to figure out. The only thing you have on your mind is speed. You are too stupid. Why save people when you could use your speed to make yourself smarter?" He said.

"Saving people is the right thing to do! If I spend my time getting smarter, then I'll be letting other people getting hurt. That’s not my way." Rainbow said and lands a punch on him.

Science Fair flew from Rainbow and hit some of the lockers. He stood up and saw Fluttershy in the corner.

"I heard you’re fast, let's see how fast!" He said and fired at the stunned girl.

Everything slowed down as Rainbow ran towards Fluttershy, she could see that Fluttershy wasn't moving and the energy coming off the beam. She reaches Fluttershy before the beam did and everything speed back up. Rainbow held on to her friend as the beam hit the wall and showered them with pieces of it. Once Rainbow got to safely she stopped to check on her. Not wanting her to find out, she started to move her face so fast that it was just a blur.

Fluttershy look up to see that she was in a different hallway and look up to see the red blur. She was shocked to see her. The Red Blur was a girl, a girl that was her age.

"Are you alright?"

Fluttershy was snapped out of her shock when she heard the voice. She really couldn’t see her face that well, but she can tell the blur was worried about her.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you." She said.

Rainbow nods before running back to where Science Fair was but there was no sign of him. He was gone. Rainbow sighed and ran off, thinking Celestia was right.

"The abrasions are already rapidly healing." Spitfire said looking over her.

"Yeah, I got my ass handed to me." Rainbow said.

"Glad you got out of there." Lighting Dust added.

"So what did Science Fair want?" Soarin asked.

"He kept going on about making people smarter. He was like this before, maybe even before the thunderstorm." Rainbow said looking at her suit.

"If he was experimenting on himself when he was exposed to the dark matter wave released by the particle accelerator explosion-" Lightning Dust started to say.

"Meet Captain Beam Blast." Soarin said getting the others to look at him.

"Don't worry. I'll come up with something cooler." He told them.

Rainbow sighed and turned to walk away, she was done.

"Where are you going?" Spitfire asked.

"Celestia was right. I'm in way over my head. Yeah, I'm fast, but I am no warrior. Man, I could barely fight one meta-human, let alone on in armor." Rainbow said.

"Rainbow. I understand. Today was a setback. But any grand enterprise has them. And we can never learn to fly without crashing a few times." Lighting Dust told her.

"This wasn't a grand enterprise, guys. This was a mistake." Rainbow said and walks away remembering the last mistake the she did.

Flashback

Young Rainbow sat in the chair of the visitor room of Everfree Jail. She looks up when she heard a buzz and saw her mother walk up.

"Mom!" Rainbow said and ran up to hug her, only to be stopped by the officer.

"Sorry. No physical contact. Five minutes, Dash." He said then told her mother.

"Sit down Rainbow." Aurora said and they both sat down.

"Rainbow, how did you get here?" She asked her.

"I ran here. Celestia wouldn't bring me. She wouldn't let me see you. I hate her." Rainbow said.

"No, no. Don't-don't say that. It isn't Celestia that doesn't want you to come here. I don't want you to come here. I don't want you to see me like this." Aurora said.

Rainbow didn't believe what her mother was saying. She turns to the officer and once more told him the story she saw.

"You have to let her go. My mom didn't do these things. She didn't hurt my dad. It was the women in the lightning. The lightning women killed my mom." She said.

Aurora reaches and gently pulls Rainbow back to her set.

"Rainbow, look at me." She said.

"Not my mom." Rainbow said almost ready to cry.

"Look at me." She said again.

"You can't help me." Aurora told her before seeing Celestia and Luna walk in.

"Okay? Now Celestia and Luna are going to look after you until I can get out of here. You just be the good girl that your dad and I know you are." Aurora said and let the officer take her back to her cell.

"Mom?" Rainbow called, but she didn't look back.

"MOM?" Rainbow calls again.

Flashback End

Celestia was back at her home sitting at her desk. She heard how Fluttershy was still in the school when Science Fair attacked. She also heard how she was saved by the Red Blur. Celestia didn't get it. Why, why isn't Rainbow listening? She’s not a superhero. She a was a 15 year old girl. She almost jumped at the sound of the knock at her door. Celestia sighed and got up to answer it.

She opens the door to see Lighting Dust there.

"Lighting Dust? How did you find this place?" She asked.

"Soarin gave me the address. Can we talk, Principal?" She said.

Celestia let her in and they both sat on the couch.

"So you were right. Rainbow's not the only one who's special. That guy that tried to kill me today, he could-" Celestia started to say.

"Can fire beams from his hands. Yeah, we know. Did you know about Rainbow?" Light Dust said then asked.

"When she was first in her coma Spitfire and Soarin came to the hospital, and asked me if they could take her to S.T.O.R.M. Labs. Did they know what she could do?" Celestia answer then asks.

"They had suspicions that she was... affected." Lightning Dust answer.

Celestia only nods. She was still worried for Rainbow.

"Hey, Celestia... I was never looking to become the senior member of a secret crime fighting unit. You and I both know we are the only ones equipped to protect Equestria." Lightning Dust told her.

"Maybe I'm more interested in protecting Rainbow. But of course she's all set to fly into the fire right along with you." Celestia said.

"No, she's not. Not anymore. She quit. She didn't tell you?" Lightning Dust told her.

"I haven't seen her." Celestia said shocked.

"Well I'm sure it's only temporary. From what I know of Rainbow, when she sets her mind to something... No one's going to talk her out of it. But the next time she suits up... Fshh! Runs headlong into danger... She will fail. Why? She doesn't think she's capable. Doubt... Is her real enemy. Celestia, not whatever's lurking out there. And as long as you continue to doubt her, she'll keep doubting herself. And for the record... I care about her, too." Lightning told her then left.

Celestia thought about what Lightning Dust said. Was she right? Did she doubting Rainbow Dash?

Rainbow was at Sugarcube and had ten plates and cups around her.

"Guess you were hungry." Applejack said seeing the plates and cup.

"Stress eating." Rainbow said.

"Ah. I came to say I'm sorry. I have been distant." Rainbow said shocking the group.

"Kind of a jerk." Rainbow added.

"Ya should apologize more often. Ya are really sensational at it." Applejack smiled.

Rainbow smiled back. She got her 11th cup and drinks it.

"Rainbow there you are! I just got a big scoop about the Red Blur!" Sunset said as she walked up.

"Really? What's that?" Rarity asked.

"It turns out the Blur is a girl! A teenage girl! And Fluttershy was the one that found out about it!" Sunset said.

Everyone turn to the butterscotch girl who tries to hide in her hair.

"Well, she did save me. I hope she’s not mad." Fluttershy said.

Rainbow was quiet. She wasn't sure how long Sunset’s blog was going to last now that she’s done with all the crime fighting and saving.

"You know, what if Rainbow was right?" Sunset said.

"Right about what?" Twilight asked.

"What if she was right about the night that her dad died?" Sunset explained.

The others stopped to think about it. They remember Rainbow telling her about the Woman in Yellow and they could see that the Blur was almost like her. Could Rainbow been right? Rainbow’s phone started to ring and saw it was from S.T.O.R.M. Labs. She turns away and answered it.

"Look, I told you I'm through." She whispers.

"I know, but you need to get to S.T.O.R.M. Labs right now." Soarin said.

Rainbow sped toward S.T.O.R.M. Labs to see that Soarin and Spitfire was working on something.

"What are you doing?" Rainbow asked.

"You might have quit, but we haven't. Plus, it’s your former science teacher so we thought you’ve seen this if he shows up again." Soarin said.
"Thanks to the camera we put in your suit, we got a look at the armor Science Fair was wearing." Spitfire said.

"The armor’s strong, but it’s incomplete. There’s a gasp in the chest plate that stops the armor from overheating. If we can figure out how to use that to our advantage..." Soarin said.

"You might be able to shut it down." Lightning Dust said as she walks in.

"Just a theory..." Spitfire added.

"But you might want to put to the test, Miss Dash." Lightning Dust said.

"Plus, I whipped up these high- calorie protein bars for you to keep your metabolism up." Soarin said and pulls out a big snack bar.

"You better get going." Celestia said as she walks in.

"You should call it in." Rainbow said, not moving.

"Police can't fight this. What Science Fair's become, like Stormy... Beyond me. Maybe way beyond them, too. The only person it's not beyond is you. You got to do this. I get it. So for once in your life, do what I tell you to do. Go stop him." Celestia said.

Rainbow looks at Celestia in surprise before turning to her suit. She smiled and speed off knowing the one place Science Fair will go.

Science Fair walks up to the upcoming Fair and knew he had to get rid of it. Before he could raise his hands, he saw the Red Blur.

"I won't like you doing this Science Fair." Rainbow said.

"How are you going to stop me? You're too stupid." He said.

"You're the one that’s stupid. You think by making people smarter, the world will be better? No, it won't. Sometimes you have the time to play and relax will rest your brain. It will let new plans to come." Rainbow said.

"NO IT WON'T!" Science Fair shouted.

"The need to get rid of these things, without them, everyone will be smarter! And this armor will help them." He added.

"If everyone was smart, then the world will be boring. You don't get that. I'm being smart by stopping you before you hurt anyone else." Rainbow said and speeds over to him.

Science Fair fired his beams, but Rainbow speed around them. She got up close and started to punch him with electricity coming off them. Science Fair caught one of her hands and punches her back. He keeps punching her before throwing her away.

"You know you can go to jail for hitting a girl? For someone who’s smart, that was pretty stupid." Rainbow said as she got up.

Science Fair growled and fired his beams at Rainbow who race along the fare dodging the attack. She then raced towards him, but was hit by the beams knocking her back.

"Rainbow, you got to overheat the armor." Soarin’s voice said over the com.

"I can't. It's impossible." Rainbow said as she tried to catch her breath.

"Nothing's impossible, Rainbow. You taught us that. You can do this." Lightning Dust said over the com.

Rainbow stood and her brain started to think fast. She ran at Science Fair who fires another beam, but Rainbow slid under it. She keeps running, everything slowing down as she dodges the beams. She got close and punches right the gasp in the chest plate. Science Fair gasped as his armor over heated and the two were blow away. Rainbow got up by didn't see Science Fair anywhere. She race all over the fair but there was no sign of him.

"Guys, he gone!" Rainbow said.

Rainbow returns to S.T.O.R.M. Labs as Soarin and Spitfire was looking for Science Fair.

"He’s got to be in the city somewhere." Rainbow said.

"Don't worry, even if we don't find him, Blaster Master will show his face again." Soarin said before he smile, "Told you I'd come up with a cool name."

Rainbow smiled, she realized something. Something she didn't see before.

"Yeah, I may be the one in the suit doing all the running... But when I'm out there helping people, making a difference... You're all out there with me. Finally realized something, we were all struck by that lightning." Rainbow said making the others smile.

Rainbow was back home watching TV, now that Science Fair was a criminal; everyone is going to be on a look out for him. She turns to see Celestia and Luna walk in with three boxes of pizza in their hands.

"Hungry?" Luna asked as the set it down.

"Pepperoni, olives... And jalapeño. Just like you like it." Celestia said as Rainbow opens a box.

"Thank you." Rainbow said taking a piece.

"You were wrong." Celestia said confusing the two.

"I have been wrong a lot this week. You're going to have to be more specific." Rainbow said.

"You said that one of the things driving you to run around out there was that you couldn't help your mom. You can help her. We can. We're going to figure out who or what killed your father that night. And then we're going to get your mother out of prison. Together." Celestia said.

"We might not be cops, but your mother was a good friend of ours, it’s fair we help her as well." Luna added.

"Celestia, what I said about you not being my mother-" Rainbow started to say.

"Rainbow, I know. I know I'm not your mother." Celestia said.

"You're right. You're not. You're just... The women who kept me fed and in clothes... Who sat beside my bed at night until I fell asleep because I was afraid of the dark... helped me with my homework... You taught me how to drive... And you dropped me off at school. Sounds a lot like a mom to me." Rainbow said.

The three all smile before eating their pizza.

Every kid dreams of being a superhero. Having powers. Saving people. But no kid thinks about what it's like when you're a hero and you're not saving people. Truth is... Not much else changes. You still hurt. You still love. You still wish and hope and fear things. And you still need people to help you with all of it. In some ways, that's the best part.

"Rainbow, an armored car was just hijacked on Griffin Avenue. Get your ass over there." Spitfire said smiling.

"I got it." Rainbow said, before we see her speeding across the city.

Actually... The best part? It's this.

The Dash

Science Fair growled at her and couldn't believe it. The Red Blur ruined his armor! There was more to that speedster, he knows it. He stops at the sound of something whooshing in his lab. He turn to see Lightning Dust in the doorway.

"So it’s you, the only person in the world that is smart." He said.

Lighting Dust just looks at him.

"That Red Blur. If I can figure who she is, I can stop her and no one will stop me." Science Fair said.

Lightning then zoom up to him and raise her hand, which started to move very fast that it was a blur.

"That Red Blur. She's called the Dash. Or at least... She will be one day." Lightning Dust said and stabs her hand through his heart.

"You're just like her." Science Fair tries to say.

"Forgive me, Fair. I worry you think that you will think this is personal, and it's not. It's just that the Red Blur... The fastest girl alive... she must be kept... safe." Lightning said before pulling her hand out.

She watched Science Fair drop to the ground dead, before running off leaving red electricity behind her.

Author's Note

Okay two things. One, this will not turn into Rainbow Dash/Sunset Shimmer story. Just because Sunset is writing the blog about Rainbow in her hero form, like how Iris does with Barry before she knew, doesn't mean they're going to end up together. I really have not thought about the shipping part yet. Two, I better come clean about this, I haven't thought a what S.T.O.R.M. stands for. I am thinking on it, but you guys can send me your ideas. Take your time through. Not sure when chapter 3 well be up, because again need I new meta-human and have to think on what is going to be from the show and what I'm going to change. I have thought about future chapters as Rainbow going to the MLP world and becoming a earth pony to avoid some confuse between the two Rainbow's.You can guess who Zoom is going to be, but I'm not answer until I get to the second season. And I'm aware of the new Speedster Savitar, but Season 3 just brought him in show not much is know about him. So no one asked about that one until I seen more of him.
