9 WEEKS LATER
Jay begins to wake up, he couldn't see really much because everything was a little blurry. He could hear music in the background, which was one of his favorites. He could hear voices in the background talking, when It began to get a clear image Jay could see a man and a woman somewhere in their 20s or something

"What are you doing," said one of them

"He likes this song"

"How can you possibly know that?"

"I checked his Facebook page, I mean he can hear anything right?"

"Auditory functions are the last sensory faculties to generate"

Both of them walked away from the bed I was lying in. I woke up really hard when Jay saw around the room he questing himself "where am I?". Jay had no idea where he was, the woman walked over to Jay and shined a light over his eyes saying that Jay's eyes react equally reacting to light. Jay rose up from the bed and rose up with both of his legs.

"Wow man relax, you're at STAR labs," said the young man

"STAR lab's who are you," Jay asked the young man

"I am Cisco Ramon, she's Caitlin Snow," Cisco said.

Caitlin Snow gave Jay a cup saying "I need you to urinate in this".

Cisco grabbed the cup "not know, wait a second".

Jay was confused, he walked away from them saying "what is happening right?"

"You got struck by lighting dude" Cisco replied.

"What Jay said, he turned around and saw himself in the mirror. "Lighting gave me abs?".

"Your muscles should be atrophied but instead they're in a chronic and unexplained state of regeneration," Caitlin said.

Jay sat on a seat, Cisco told him "Jay was in a coma".

"For how long," Jay asked.

"Nine weeks," said a voice behind them, Jay turned around to see a man in a wheelchair. It was Harrison Wells, "welcome back Mr. Allen," he said, "we have a lot to discuss".


Jay got on him a sweatshirt, which had the STAR labs logo on. "I can't believe I am, I've always wanted to meet you face to face," Jay said
"Yeah, so we went to great length to do this" Harrison Wells said "STAR labs has not been operational since the FEMA catheterized us as a class four hazardous" Harrison said when the passed a cage which had a sign standing Grodd.

"17 people died that night, many more were injured," Harrison said "myself among them" They came to the destroyed pipeline and saw brings surrounding everywhere and burned marks on the walls.

"Gees, what happened?" Jay asked.

"A month ago, the particle accelerator went online exactly as I planned for 45 minutes," Harrison Wells said, "I have achieved my life dream and then, there was an anomaly, the electron volts became unmeasurable". "The ring under us popped energy from that detonation was thrown into the sky seeded a storm cloud...".

"That created a lightning bolt, that struck me," Jay said as he finishes Harrison Wells sentence.

"That's right," Dr. Wells said, "I was recovering myself when I heard about you". Harrison continued talking "the hospital went to unexplained power outages every time you went into cardiac arrest which was actually misdiagnosed because you see weren't flatlining Jay, your heartbeat was moving to fast for the EKG to register it".

They walked back to the cortex, "now I am not the most popular person in town these days but detective West and your friends from Canterlot High gave me permission to bring you here where we were able to stabilize you" Dr. Wells said.

"Wait my friends from Canterlot was here?" Jay asked.

"That's right, they were here to see you quite often," Dr. Harrison Wells said.

"The pink one talked a lot and asked many questions," Caitlin said while she was handing Dr. Wells a drink.

"By the way I really like her," Cisco said.

"I need to to go," Jay said and walked to the door.

"Wait you can't," Caitlin said.

"No, no Caitlin is right," Harrison Wells said "now that you're awake we need to do more test, you're still going through changes there's so much that we don't know"

"I am fine really I feel normal," Jay said, "thank you for saving my life". Jay walked out of the door but returned to ask "can I keep the sweatshirt?".

"Yeah you can keep the sweatshirt," Wells said.

"Okay," Jay said and walked out of the door.


Canterlot High School
Jay went back to the school to see the main 6, Jay walked into the school. Students stared at him, surprised that he survived that lightning bolt. Jay ignored them and tried to find the main 6, as Jay walked down the corridors he bumped into Trixie.

"Well, isn't it Jay Allen," Trixie said.

"Your prayers didn't work Trixie, that lighting bolt gave me what I wished for," Jay said, "a whole month without you to bother me".

Jay walked past Trixie and tried to find the music room so he could reunite with his friends, he walked down the corridors to find Rainbow Dash at her locker. Jay walked over to her and Rainbow Dash noticed him, she was surprised to see Jay already awake. It filled her with joy, she ran to him and begun to hug him really hard. Both of them smiled, Rainbow Dash stops hugging.

"You're awake," Rainbow Dash said, "why didn't STAR labs call?".

"I just woke up" Jay replied

"How are you standing?" Rainbow asked

"Dash I am fine, I am okay," Jay said

"I watched you die many times at the hospital,"you kept dying, your heart just stopped".

Jay took Rainbow's hand and placed it on his chest where she felt the beats of Jay's heart. "Still beating," Jay said, "it feels really fast," Rainbow said.

Both of them walked down the corridors to the cafeteria since it was already lunch, and maybe Jay could reunite with his new friends he meets over a month ago. They sat down at a table, Rainbow Dash brought with her lunch to the table. But Jay didn't have any lunch since he wasn't a fan of lunch they served in the cafeteria. They sat down and begun to have a little talk.

"So how was STAR labs?" Rainbow asks

"It was a little destroyed but the main cortex and the laboratories were okay" Jay replied "I even got to meet Harrison Wells"

"Really," Rainbow said

"Yeah, I even kept a STAR labs sweatshirt," Jay said.

"Cool, well don't wear it around the school," Dashie said, "students are angry about what happened a month ago when the particle accelerator exploded".

"Why," Jay asked since we were in a come for one month he needed to know what has been going on.

"Well, many people got injured when the accelerator exploded and blamed Harrison Wells for the explosion," Rainbow told Jay.

"Gees, what happened to the other girls?" Jay asked, "you guys were with me when I got struck by lightning?"

"They're fine Jay" Rainbow replied

"Good," Jay said.

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Sunset Shimmer and Fluttershy walked into the cafeteria and noticed Rainbow Dash with Jay Allen. They were happy to see him alive and moving, they walked to the table to greet him a proper welcome back.

"Jay you're awake," Sunset said.

"Yep I am alive and kicking," Jay said

"Why didn't STAR labs call us?" Applejack said and sat on the seat next to Jay, the other girls began to sit

"I just woke up," Jay replied.

"I got stuck by lighting Jay, you're heart kept stopping and stopping," Pinkie Pie said.

"Yeah but, I am awake my heart is now beating," Jay said.

Applejack held her fingers on Jay's neck to feel his pulse, but the problem is that it's beating really fast then a normal heart would. She removed her fingers from his neck telling him.

"Jay you're heart beats faster than normal" Applejack said

Everything around Jay begun to move slowly, Jay turns his head to see a student falling to the ground and lost her food plate on the ground. Things began to move at normal speed again.

Sunset asked her "are you okay".

"Yeah, I am fine" the girl replied.

Jay was really confused about what happened, everything was moving slowly and now it was moving fast.

"That was weird," Jay said.

"What's weird?" Sunset asked Jay

"Everything was moving slowly," Jay said, "and now it's moving in normal speed". Jay rose up from the table and told the girls "meet me outside after lunch", and he walked out of the cafeteria.


It Canterlot High bank, a man with a cap on his head walks up to the disk, "what can I help you with?" the woman who worked at the desk asked.
The man handed her a note standing "this is a robbery, is this suppose to be a joke?" she asked. The man said "you tell me" and stepped away and clouds begun to come out of his hands creating a storm inside the bank


Back at Canterlot high, Jay stood in the parking lot waiting for the girls to come out. Jay began to feel nervous. The girls walked out and meet up with Jay.

"Jay, what's the problem?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"I don't know," Jay said "I feel something changing"

Fluttershy looked down and saw something weird with Jay's hand.

"Um, Jay, your hand," Fluttershy said in a low pitched voice.

Jay looked at his hand, it was moving really fast, it was like it was vibrating. Jay had no idea, he moved a little bit and was on the other side of the parking lot. The girls were confused about what happened, Jay moved and was on the other side of the parking lot.

Jay begun to run and was moving faster than ever, he took a running circle around the school. Jay ran back to parking lot and crashed and broke the car to Flash Sentry. The girls walked to Jay to see that he was okay, the first thing Sunset Shimmer though was the fact that he crashed and destroyed Flash Sentry's car which made her happy cause she really wanted to get back at her ex-boyfriend after what he said at the battle of the bands.


At an empty airfield, Harrison Wells and his team from STAR labs Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow are at the airfield to test Jay's powers. His friends also came along with him only to see the testing of his powers, Caitlin asks Harrison Wells "you don't believe that he can run that fast do you?"

"I believe anything is possible and in a few minutes, I will too," Wells said.

Jay walked off the truck with a tight suit with a helmet and glasses.

"How does is it fit?" Cisco asked

"It's a little bit snug" Jay replied

"Properly you run so fast no one can see it," Rarity said

"Thank you Rarity," Jay said, "by the way, did you and Thawne work out?".

"Damn Rarity, Jay he got you again," Rainbow said.

Jay and Cisco walked together.

"See you thought the world was slowing down," Cisco said "well it wasn't, you were moving so fast it only looked like everyone was standing still" "doctor Wells will be monitoring your energy output and Caitlin you vitals.

"What do you do?" Jay asked.

"I make the toys man," Cisco said holding up a piece that had a lightning bolt on it "check it, this is a two-way headset with a camera I modified typically designed to combat battlefield impulse noise or in your case potential sonic booms which would be awesome"

Cisco took the helmet off Jay's, Caitlin walked to Jay checking his vital monitors. Jay looked at Caitlin and she asked.

"What?"

"Nothing, just that you don't smile as much," Jay said.

"My one promising career in bioengineering is over," Caitlin said "my boss is in a wheelchair for life, the explosion that sends you into a coma also killed my fiance, so this blank expression kind of feels like joy"

Caitlin walked away from Jay.

"Mr. Allen, while I am extremely eager to determine your fill range abilities I do caution restraint," Dr. Wells said

Jay took on the helmet and was ready to run. Harrison Wells took on his sunglasses, lighting began to stream through Jay's eyes, Jay began to run faster than ever blowing away papers and pushing Cisco back.

They looked at Jay running in superspeed, breaking the sound wall.

As Jay ran he begun to remember something when he was little, he was 11 years old and screamed mom. In a room there was a bolt of lightning, a woman was sitting on the floor screaming his name. Jay remembers that he saw a man in yellow.

He didn't get distracted for long and crashes into water cans breaking his arm


STAR Labs
It's been hours since the testing, Jay was sitting down the medical bed. Caitlin showed Jay an image of his broken arm.

"It looks like you had a distal radius fracture," Caitlin said

"Had?" Jay said confused.

Caitlin swiped the image showing his hand has healed "It's healed, in three hours"

"How is that even possible?" Jay asked

"He doesn't know," Caitlin said "yet".

The 6 girls in the room padded Jay on the shoulder calling him a quick healer.

"What happened out there today," Harrison asked approaching Jay on his wheelchair "you moved pretty and something caused you to lose focus".

"I started remembering something," Jay said

Harrison Wells began to give him a stare that asked him what it was, Jay began to talk about what he remembered.

"When I was 11 my mother was murdered," this caught the attention of everyone in the room "it was late, a sound woke me up and when I came downstairs and I saw what looked like a bolt of lightning".

Wells took off his classes and continues listening.

"Inside the lightning, there was a man," Jay said "he killed my mom, they arrested my dad, he's still sitting in iron heights for her murder". "Everyone, the cops, the shrinks they all told me what I saw wasn't possible. But what if the man who killed my mom was like me".

"I think I can say unequivocally you are one of a kind," Wells said.


Jay was walking down the street alone, his friends were still at STAR Labs. As Jay walked down the street, Rainbow followed Jay so she could talk to him.

"Jay wait," Rainbow said, and Jay stopped to talk with her.

"What is it?" Jay asked.

"I just wanted to say sorry," Rainbow said, "what about your mother, I am sorry".

"It's okay," Jay said, "it's just that my father still sits in iron heights for a crime he didn't commit, I just want to bring justice for him and get him out".

"I would have done the same Jay" Rainbow said.

"Well, Joe and Iris was the one who helped me heal all those years," Jay said.

"Who's Iris?" Rainbow asked.

"She was a friend of mine," Jay said, "mostly the only friend I had, she's still alive and writes for the Canterlot papers".

Rainbow smiles, but the smiles disappear when they see police cars chasing another car down the road. The police car crashes but no one gets hurt, Jay sees the driver and runs after him. Jay gets closer to the car and burst inside the car, he realized it was Clyde Mardon. Jay looked down seeing that he is taking a gun out of his pocket before Mardon gets to shoot Jay, Jay crabs the staring wheel and makes the car flip landing with the roof down.

Jay gets out of the car and sees Mardon walk away like it was nothing.

"HEY, MARDON?" Jay yelled. Mardon looked behind him seeing Jay.

They stood face to face distance from each other, Mardon took out his hands and a fog begun surrounding him and the street. Mardon disappeared from in the fog. A car crashed into the crashed car causing an explosion, Jay ran away from the road and lands on the grass.


The police, the firemen and the ambulance arrived at the scene, taking the man that died in the crash to the ambulance car.

"Jay are you alright?" Joe asked Jay when he approached him.

"Joe I know who did this" Jay tells Joe.

"What is it?" Joe asked.

"It's Clyde Mardon, I know everyone thinks he died in the plane crash the night of the STAR labs explosion but he's alive," Jay said, Joe looked concerned at Jay not believing what he is saying. "Something happened to him that night i... I think he can control the weather, the recent robberies they happened during freak meteorological events and when I just confronted Mardon the street were instantly enveloped in a fog" Jay said.

Joe looked concerned at Jay.

"Of course you don't believe me, you never believed me," Jay said.

"Okay you wanna do this now out here fine, Mardon is dead," Joe said, "there is no controlling the weather Jay like there was no lightning storm in your house, it was your brain helping a scared little boy accept what he saw".

"My dad did not murder her..." Jay got interrupted by Joe.

"Yes he did your dad killed your mother Jay, i am sorry son" Joe yelled to Jay "I knew it the jury knew it, now he's paying for what he did, I've been doing my best to take care since that night and I never asked for anything in return, not even a thank you but what I do ask is now is that you for once in your life you see things for what they are".

Jay walked away with nothing to reply to Joe only that he's mad, and Jay walked away from the crime scene.
Edward approached Joe with new information about the recent robberies.

"You're not gonna believe this, we got the eyewitness sketch of the robber from the bank job," Edward Thawne said handing Joe the sketch drawing "but no better I'd say Clyde Mardon" Edward took out a mug shot picture of Mardon.

"But that's impossible, he's dead right," Edward said.


Jay walked into back to STAR labs and into the cortex, Jay was really mad questions in his mind.

"I wasn't the only one effect by the particle accelerator explosion was?!" Jay yelled.

"We don't know" Harrison replied a second later.

"You said that the city was safe that there was no residual danger," Jay said, "but that's not true so what really happened that night?".

"Well, the accelerator went active" Harrison replied "we felt like heroes and then it all went wrong," Wells said showing a 3D video on the screen. "the dimensional barrier ruptured unleashed unimaginable energy into our world, anti-matter, dark energy, x-elements...".

"Those are theoretical," Jay said finishing the sentence.

"And how theoretical are you," Harrison said, "it left dispersion all around Canterlot City and we have no idea excellently what or who was exposed, I've been searching for other meta-humans like your self".

"Meta-humans?" Jay said.

"That's what we're calling them," Caitlin said.

"I saw one today, he's a bank robber," Jay said.

"This is just getting cooler," Cisco said cracking a smile.

"This is not cool okay," Jay said, "alright a man died".

The smiles of everyone disappeared into the room.

"Mardon must have gotten his powers the same way I did," Jay said, "from the storm cloud, he's still out there, we have to stop him before he hurts anyone else".

Jay walked to the door but before he could leave Harrison stops him.

"Jay, that's a job for the police," Harrison said

"I work for the police," Jay said.

"As a forensic assistance," Wells said.

"You're responsible for this, for him," Jay said.

"What's important is you!" Wells said, "not me, I lost everything, I lost my company I lost my reputation I lost my freedom and then you broke your arm and it healed in three hours".

"Inside your body could be a map to a whole new world of genetic therapy, vaccines, medicines and treasures buried deep inside your cells and we can not risk losing anything because you want to go out and play hero!" Wells said, "you're not a hero, you're just a high schooler that got struck by lightning and was lucky to survive".

Jay walked out of the lab, the other 5 girls walked in front of him standing up to Wells.

"What the blazes were that all about?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah, I mean he is totally a hero," Pinkie Pie said.

"Look I lost everything in that explosion," Wells said, "Caitlin lost her fiance, I lost my company, something I have worked my whole life to build".

"And you just want to use Jay to get everything back?" Rarity asked.

"What would you do if you lost everything you have to build?" Harrison asked "if I was all of you I would have done the same thing," Wells said.

Rainbow Dash walked into really mad.

"What did you tell Jay!" Rainbow asked.

"Look Rainbow, I am doing what is best for the future of STAR labs," Wells said.

"You're doing what's best for you," Applejack said.

"If you knew what's best for your future then you take that opportunity and don't waste it," Wells said, "that's all".


Jay was running in superspeed out of the city and begun to think about that night.

An eleven-year-old Jay Allen ran back to his house, police cars and ambulances were outside the house. Jay walked up to the door seeing the cops having Jay's dad Henry Allen in handcuffs. Jay walked into the house and saw a blue blanket covering a body, the young Jay approached the body and took the blanket off to show the dead body of Nora Allen.

Jay stopped outside another city, his jacked begun to take fire so he takes it off, Jay looks up at the sign standing knowing that he was five miles from starling city


Jay was standing on the top of a building one place in starling city to a friend in a hood and with a bow and arrow.

"I've spent my whole life searching for the impossible, never imagined that I would become the impossible" Jay said.

"So why come to me?" Oliver asked, "something tells me you didn't run six hundred miles only to say hi to a friend".

"All my life I wanted to... do more, be more and now I am" Jay said "and the first chance I get to help someone I screw up, what if Wells was right, what if I was a just a high schooler that got struck by lightning and was lucky to survive".

"I don't think that bolt of lightning struck you Jay" Oliver replied, "I think it chose you"

I am just not sure I am like you Oliver" Jay said, "I am not sure I am like you Oliver, I am not sure that I could become some vigilante".

"You could be better" Oliver replied, "cause you can inspire people, in a way that I never could, watching over your city like a guardian angel and make a difference and saving people, in a flash".

Oliver walked away from Jay and put on him a mask telling Jay his last word "make your own advice" Oliver said, "and wear a mask". Oliver jumped out of the building and shoot an arrow to the air swinging and attached himself to the building.

"Cool," Jay said to himself.

Oliver looks down at the streets seeing a streak running in a Flash.

"Cool," Oliver said to himself.


Back at STAR labs, everyone was surrounding a table that had a map over Canterlot city, Jay had with him boxes of files from the CCPD.

"I've been going over on solved cases for the last 9 weeks and there has been a sharp increase in unexplained deaths and missing people," Jay said.

"Seems like the Meta-humans has been busy," Sunset said

Jay told Cisco and Caitlin "not that we blame you, I know that you lost something but I need to stop Mardon and people like him and I can't do it without you guys".

"Jay if you're gonna do this, then you all would need our help," Applejack said.

"Yeah, we have faced evil before and we can help you guys," Rainbow said.

There was a moment of silence in the room, Cisco turned his head to look at Jay.

"If we're gonna do this, then I have something that might help," Cisco said.

Cisco showed them a dark red suit with a breathing mask on its head.

"I gotta say I love the dark red color on that suit," Rarity said, "fits Jay pretty well".

"Thank you" Cisco replied, Cisco turned his head to Barry telling him what it's made out of "this was made to replace the transnational firefighter suits, I thought that if STAR labs could do something for the community then everyone would have stopped being so angry and doctor Wells anymore".

"How is it gonna help me?" Jay asked.

"This is made reinforced metropolitan, it's heated and its resistance should stand you moving in top velocity speed" Cisco replied, "also it has built-in sensors so we can track your vitals and communicate with you from here".

"Thank's so how do we found Mardon?" Jay asked.


At a farm outside the city, Edward and Joe had arrived in their police car.

"If you're saying that Mardon is alive then this is the last place where he and his brother hid," Joe said.

They walked into the barn with guns in their hands loaded, they walked and saw Mardon sitting on a chair.

"Mardon on your feet and your hands on your head," Joe told Mardon

"You got me," Mardon said "the night of the storm, when STAR labs blew after our plane went down and I woke up on the ground alive, and when I saw what I could do I realized. I am god"

"Shut the hell up," Joe said.

Mardon rose up from his seat and a fog began to appear, he pushed Edward and Joe back knocking out Edward.

"You think you can stop god!" Mardon yelled.

Mardon began to create a tornado that busted through the roof of the barn, Joe grabbed Edward and dragged him out of the barn. When I piece of the roof was about to hit them something pushed that roof piece. Jay was in his suit, but the mask got annoying so he took it off.
Jay could hear Cisco and his friends on the other side. Jay looked at the tornado, it was heading to the city.

"The tornado is heading to the city what do I do?" Jay asked "what if I unravel it"

"How the hell are you gonna do that?" Caitlin asks.

"I run around it in the opposite direction which will make it turn in another direction," Jay said.

"Your body can't handle those speeds you will die," Caitlin said.

"I have to try," Jay said.

Jay began to run straight to the tornado, Joe was shocked by what he saw. As when Jay ran around the tornado he got pushed to the side.

Harrison Wells went to the control panel and talked to Jay.

"You can do this Jay, you were right i am responsible for all this" Wells said "many people got hurt because of me and when I looked at you all I saw was another potential victim of my youth, yes I created this madness but you Jay can stop this, you can do this so run Jay RUN!".

Jay begun to run around the tornado, his streak became lightning and he became faster than ever.

Jay finally stopped the tornado, Jay took his mask off. Jay was standing on his knees.

"Hey," said a voice, Mardon wasn't defeated, he held up a gun and said, "I didn't believe there were any more people like me".

"I am not like you," Jay said, "you're a murderer".

Before Mardon could shoot at Jay, Mardon got shot by Joe.


Joe walked to him to his knees believing what he just saw.

The next morning, ambulances were at the scene.

"I am sorry Jay," Joe said, "I am sorry that I didn't believe you and I called you crazy for chasing the impossible but you really did see something when your mother died, and your dad is innocent".


Iron Heights Prison
Jay was at iron heights in prison to meet his father, Henry Allen was happy to see his son after a long time.

"Hey slugger," Henry said

"You've been calling me that since I was eleven," Jay said, both chuckled. "Seemed like today I got into a fight today," Jay said.

"You just got out of a coma, I don't think you should be picking fights," Henry said, "but did you win?".

"Yeah, I did," Jay said, "you didn't kill mom, you know I know that right?".

"You believe in me," Henry said, "that's all I need".

You're not gonna be here much longer dad" Jay told Henry "whoever killed mom, whatever, I think I found a way to find them, to stop them".

"Jay, we've been over this you gotta move on," Henry said, "you gotta stop worrying about me, and live your life".

Both chuckled

"I just started at Canterlot high, and I got new friends on the first day," Jay said, "and when I woke up from the coma I made more, and they helped me to find my way in my new life".
"Remember that you want to change my name, so people don't have to know you're my dad, I am glad that they know because I am so proud to be your son," Jay said.

Henry smiled and replied, "I love you son".

"I love you to dad," Jay said as a tear came from his eyes.

Jay held his hand up to the glass, Henry took his hand up to the glass to were Jay's hand were.


Jay ran through the streets of Canterlot city and knew from that day on he would guard the city like a hero, like a guardian angel.


Back at STAR labs, Harrison Wells opens a door to a secret room, he enters the room and walked out of his wheelchair. Wells walks to the front of the room and held his head on something that opens a hologram which stands (Flash Missing Vanishes In Crisis)
