It was weekend and everyone at CHS had free, Jay went to his forensic lab at the CCPD. Jay worked with the chemicals but one of the machines didn't work so he just began to shake the tube. Jay walked to the computer and begun a little research on recent crime scenes. Sunset walked into the forensic lab to visit Jay. "Hi Sunset," Jay said, "Jay, could you do a little deed for me?" Sunset asked.

"What can I help you with?" Jay asked Sunset.

"Well since I work now in the Canterlot news I thought I could do a science report on Simon Stagg," Sunset told Jay, Jay didn't reply and just looked at Sunset. "What," Sunset said.

"Nothing, it's just that, you look amazing today," Jay said making Sunset smile.

"Well thank you," Sunset said.

"But yes I will help you with the paper," Jay said.

"So what are you working on?" Sunset asked. "It's evidence from a recent crime scene, about a robbery in a gun store" Jay replied. "The footprints show that a whole crew robbed the gun store but the shoes were the same size and the same type of shoes," Jay said.

Edward walked into the lab to say hello to Jay.

"Can I help you, Edward?" Jay asked. "Oh no I am just here to check out the forensic lab" Edward replied. Jay looked at Edward and asked, "is there something you're interested to know?" Jay asked him "no I just to see how things are going on with you after you woke up from coma" Edward replied.

"Well, everything has been good to me, I missed a lot of things while I in a coma but I am over it now," Jay said. "Okay it's great to know," Edward said and walked out of the lab.

At Stagg Industries building, the founder Simon Stagg held his speech on his research in organ transplant. When the speech was over and he got his Nobel prize, everyone in the room applauded. Stagg walked off the stage.
Jay and Sunset talked about Stagg research.

"Okay first thing first," Jay said to Sunset "Simon Stagg in cellular cloning has lead to the huge advancement of the future of organ transplant".

"You know these few weeks after you woke up from the coma, we haven't spend any time together," Sunset said, "then I mean as friends".

Simon Stagg walked pass Jay and Sunset, "oh, Mr. Stagg I hoped that I could get a quote from you for my article," Sunset asked Stagg.

"Not now miss," the guard told her and walked away with Stagg.

"I just make something up," Sunset told to her self.

A loud sound of a gunshot was fired into the by a man in a ski mask. People were scared and ducked to the ground. A crew of gunmen in ski masks came into the building. "Quite down all of you!" the man yelled. "I will consider it, you're all wearing your finest jewelry, almost like you knew that we were coming to rob you," the man said. "Now everybody lines up," he said and everyone took their jewelry in the bag.

A security guard came with a gun in his hand and told the men to freeze. The robbers stood in line and turned around and pointed their weapons at the guard. They fired but before the bullets hit him, Jay used his powers and ran and grabbed him. Jay took the guard outside and followed the robbers when they got to their getaway car, but before Jay could follow them he stopped. He felt dizzy and fainted.

Jay woke up and saw the face of Sunset, "Jay are you okay?" Sunset asked. "Sorry, I followed them but I fainted before I could get to them" Jay replied.

"Well it's not your fault," Sunset told him

"I know, I just felt a little dizzy for a few days now," Jay said.

Back at STAR labs, Caitlin is now pissed at Jay for not telling them that he experienced dizzy spells.

"You lied to us, how could you not tell us that you have experienced dizzy spells we're your doctors," Caitlin said, "God knows what happens inside your body, your cells are in a constant state of flux, you could be experiencing cardiopulmonary failure or transient deskinment attack".

Jay looked confused, "it means stroke, properly not," Wells told Jay.

"You of all people should know that in science we share, we do not keep secrets," Caitlin said and walked away.

"Wow I've never seen anybody make her this mad since Ronny," Cisco said and followed Caitlin.

"Ronny was Caitlin's fiance?" Jay asked Wells "the one who died the night of the accelerator explosion".

"Yeah he's... is missed," Wells said.

"What happened to him?" Sunset asked.

"We don't like to talk about it" Wells replied, "now, let's know why this is happening to you Jay".

In another room, there was a treadmill and a few boxes behind the treadmill. Jay was ready and walked on the treadmill, it started moving and Jay began to run. The treadmill started to go faster and Jay began to run faster than ever. Sunset, Wells, Cisco, and Caitlin checked the monitors and saw that everything was okay.

Caitlin looked at one of the monitors and they just realized why Jay's passing out.

"Jay I think we know why you keep..." before Wells could finish, Jay crashed into the boxes "passing out".

Jay woke up in a medical bed realizing that he passed out again.

"I passed out again?" Jay said.

"Total metabolic failure brought on by acute hypoglycemia, " Caitlin said.

"So I am not eating enough, one IV bag and I am good to go," Jay said. Jay turned around to see 40 IV bags empty.

"Try 40, guessing you were hungry," Wells said.

"We're gonna need to fashion you a new diet based on your metabolic changes," Caitlin said.

"I've done a few calculations, you need to consume an amount equal to roughly 850 tacos," Cisco said. "Or apples," Sunset said, Cisco looked at Sunset wondering why apples "Applejack is an apple farmer so she would make you some food based on apples," Sunset said.

"For Mexican, I recommended Tito's," Joe said walking into the lab.

"Detective West, what brings you to STAR labs?" Wells gently asked.

Joe looked at Jay and said to him "when I couldn't find you in your lab I started to do a little research, turns out there have been reports of a red streak around the city stopping muggers, rescuing people from burning buildings".

"You didn't tell we were working together," Wells told Jay.

"Joe I can explain," Jay said.

"You already have a job at law enforcement Jay, I suggest you get back to it," Joe told Jay.

"Mm-hmm," Caitlin said "don't look at me, I'm on your side"

"Detective, we all want what's best for Jay," Wells told Joe.

"If you wanted what was best for Jay you try to talk him out of this lunacy instead of encouraging going out there risking his life," Joe said.
"You saw a man control the weather, what are the police gonna do against someone like that" Jay said, "since the accelerator explosion we suspect there may be more like him".

"And you're gonna do what," Joe said crossing his arms "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".

"I'm not your kid, joe, and you're not my father," Jay said breaking a silence between them. "My father is sitting in iron heights, wrongfully convicted, you were wrong about him and you're wrong about this. Now I may not be able to help him but if I can save someone from a burning building or stop some armed thieves, I am gonna do it and you can't stop me!. So don't try".

"You think you're so smart, all of you but you don't know what you don't know," Joe said and pointed his finger at Wells "and I hope you'll clever enough to figure it out before somebody gets killed". Joe walked out of the lab.

Back at the CCPD station, Jay's table was full of empty doughnut boxes that he has eaten from. Joe walked into the lab to give Jay some DNA samples.

"Have you come to yell at me again?" Jay said.

"Simon Stagg head of security was murdered last night, the coroner took some skin samples and hopefully they belong to the killer see that you can find a match," Joe said.

"Can't be a coincidence the tax benefit was attacked last night?" Jay said.

"I am going to interview Stagg now"

"I'll come with you," Jay said

"Your job is in here staying her and do it," Joe told jay and walked out of the lab.

Jay felt frustrated, he walked to his computer and scanned the DNA sample. Sunset, Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy walked into the lab to great Jay.

"Howdy Jay," Applejack said.

"Hi AJ," Jay said.

"Sunset told what happened and that you need to consume a lot of food and have you seriously eaten so many doughnuts," Rarity said.

"Well since you're going to eat a lot of food we brought you an apple pie..." Time began to slow down, Jay ran in circles around them in slow time talking to himself.

"You don't know how it's like, I am fast now and I really want to tell you what a feel but I can't," Jay said to himself.

"That you could eat," Pinkie said finishing her sentence. The computer was already done scanning, Jay walked to the computer and said "weird".

"What is it?" Fluttershy asked.

"Impossible, there was a murder last night these skin cells belong to the murderer but these cells are naive, stem cells they can replicate and become any cells the body needs, they only come from babies," Jay said.

"So the killers are babies?" Rainbow asked.

"That would be funny that they were babies but I doubt it," Jay said.

Jay walked down the stairs out of the lab and cops rushing out with weapons.

"Captain what's going on?" Jay asked.

"Not now Jay, an armed gunman is shooting up Stagg Industries," Captain Singh said.

Jay realized that Joe was there, Jay ran back to the lab and grabbed his suit. The girls asked him "what's going on?", "the murderer is at Stagg Industries, get back to STAR labs, I will meet you there" Jay replied and the girls walked out of the lab heading to STAR Labs.

There was a massive shootout between Joe and Danton Black, Danton begun to replicate himself making extra versions of him. Jay got to the storage house taking the guns away from Danton and told Joe to run. Joe ran away.

Jay stood face to face with Danton Black, "whoever you give yourself up" Jay told Black. "Sorry, we're not going anywhere until Simon Stagg is dead".

Jay fought off two clones but Danton made three more, Jay punched Danton in the guts making even more clones. Danton attacked Jay and pulled him to the ground beating him up. Danton pulled and dragged him to the side of some cans, they held up weapons at him ready to fire. But Jay runs away from them and gets outside of the building ripping his mask off where no one could see him.

Back at STAR labs, Caitlin began to rub a little sponge on his wounds that hurt a little.

"Sorry the abrasions are already rapidly healing," Caitlin said.

"If there wasn't some many of him then you could totally beat him up," Rainbow said.

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

"You got blood on Cisco's suit Jay," Rarity said.

"I think some of it belongs to him," Jay said "another not so friendly metahuman".

Harrison wells pulled up a picture and file on Danton Black on the screen.

"Danton Black, he's a bio-geneticist specialize in therapeutic cloning, growing new organs to replace failing ones," Wells said.

"Apparently Stagg stole his research and then fired him," Caitlin said.

"I saw Black create duplicates of himself from his own body," Jay said.

"That's pretty ironic, the guy specialized in cloning and now he can make Xeroxes of himself," Cisco said, "If he was experimenting on himself when he was exposed to the dark matter wave released by the particle accelerator explosion..." Wells said.

"Meet Captain Clone" Pinkie and Cisco said at the same time. Everyone in the room looked at them and were not amazed about the name. "Don't worry I'll come up with something cooler?" Cisco said.

Jay began to walk out of the lab, " where you're going?" Sunset asked.

"Joe was right, I'm in way over my head, yeah I'm fast but I am no warrior and I can barely fight one metahuman let alone six," Jay said.

"Jay, I understand, today was a setback but any grand enterprise has them and we can never learn t fly without crashing a few times," Wells said.

"This wasn't a grand enterprise dr.Wells, this was a mistake" Jay said and ran in superspeed out of the lab and across the streets.

Jay began to remember something five years ago when he visited his dad in prison.

5 Years Ago
Eleven-year-old Jay was sitting outside waiting for his father when he saw escort guard escorting his father, Jay ran to him but the guard stopped him telling him "no physical contact" Jay said. They sat down at a table where they could talk.

"Jay how did you get here," Henry Allen asked.

"I ran here, Joe wouldn't bring me he wouldn't let me see you I hate him," Jay said.

"No no don't say that," Henry said, "it isn't Joe that doesn't want you to come here, I don't want you to come here I don't want to see me like this".

Jay turned his head to look at a security guard telling him "you have to let him go my dad didn't do this thing, he didn't hurt my mom it was the man in the lightning the lightning man killed my mom not my dad".
"Jay look at me," Henry told Jay, Jay turned his head to look at his father "you can't help, okay Joe is gonna look after you until I can get out of here you just be the good boy your mom and I know you are".

Jay began to hug his father, the guard escorted Henry Allan back to his cell.

Back at CCPD station.

"Mr. Stagg I wish you would reconsider our offer for protective custody, Danton Black has proven that he's willing to kill you," Joe said, "he got friends and trust me they're all dangerous".

"I've increased my security detective, I hope Black comes looking for trouble because he'll find plenty" Stagg said.

There was a loud clapping made by someone in the building. Joe and Stagg turn their head to see Harrison Wells, Wells stopped clapping and began to approach Stagg in his wheelchair.

"Spoken like a true philanthropist or is it humanitarian, I am sorry I can never remember which one you're pretending to be Simon," Wells said.

"Harrison, don't get up," Simon said as a means of a joke.

"Haha," Wells laughed and Simon Stagg walked to the elevator.

"Another fan of your doctor?" Joe asked.

"Can we talk detective?" Wells said.

"So you were right, Jay is not the only one who's special," Joe said, "this guy that tried to kill Simon Stagg today he could..."

"Replicate spontaneously yeah we know," Wells said.

"Did you know about Jay?" Joe asked. "When he was first in his coma you came to the hospital and you asked me that you could take him to STAR labs, did you know what he could do?".

"I had my suspicions and he was, affected," Wells said, "Hey Joe I was never looking to become a senior member of a secret crime-fighting unit, you and I both know we are the only ones equipped to protect Canterlot City".

"Maybe I am more interested in protecting Jay but of course he's all set to fly into the fire right with you," Joe said.

"No, he's not anymore, I'd quit didn't tell you," Wells said.

"I haven't seen him," Joe said

"I am sure that's only temporary," Wells said "Well then Jay says he find something, no one's gonna talk about him out of it but next time he suits, runs headlong into danger. He will fail, why, because he doesn't think he's capable doubt, that's his real enemy. Joe not whatever is lurking out there and as long as you continue to doubt him and keep doubting himself".

Wells was about to leave telling Joe one last thing "and for the record, I care about them too".

Jay was sitting at Big Belly Burger getting something to eat, he ordered a lot of food and no one cared to ask why he needed to eat a lot.

Jay got a call on his phone from STAR labs, he answered "look I already said that I am trough" Jay said.

"I know but you need to get back right now," Caitlin said on the other line in a scared voice.

Jay ran back to STAR labs and saw Danton Black standing in the cortex. Jay stood right in front of him "Jay it's okay" Sunset said, "it's not oka Black is here and he's just, standing there that's not him is it" Jay said.

"That's one of his replicates," Caitlin said.

"How did you guys get it?" Jay asked.

"I and Caitlin grew him," Sunset said

"How?" Jay asked.

"We isolated a sample of Black's blood from your suit to see we could trigger the in Vitro cultivation process and learn how Black multiplies, so we exposed the target cell to a protein gel and they begin replicating into that" Sunset and Sunset explained.

Jay waved his hand over Black so he could get any movements.

"Why isn't he, it doing anything?" Jay asked.

"We did a brain scan and voluntary motor functions are active little else," Wells said

"We think it's acting like as a receiver" Cisco explained.

"The clones are an empty shell without Black, shut down the real black and you might shut them all down" Caitlin explained.

"And how do I know which one's the real Danton Black" Jay asked.

"That occurred to us given your own passing out, Black has limits just like you, controlling all those clones must require a tremendous amount of physical strength so look for the one who shows signs of weakness fatigue, he's the prime" Caitlin and Sunset explained.

"Just a theory but when you might put to the test Mr. Allen," Wells said.

"Pluss we whipped up these high-calorie protein bars for you to keep your metabolism," Cisco said.

The clone began to move scaring everyone in the lab making the main 6 jump as well, the clone turned around and got shot by Joe. "Any more of them?" Joe asked, "nope" Caitlin replied.

"Why did it start moving?" Jay asked.

"Prime, I guess the prime is on the move this heard the summons to battle" Wells replied.

"And I know he was summoned to, Stagg Industries" Joe said putting his gun in his holster.

"You should call it in," Jay said.

"The police can't fight this, what Black's become like Mardon beyond me, maybe way beyond them too," Joe said "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".

Jay did what Joe said, Jay went to the stand where his suit was and was ready to go into battle and stop Dantom Black.

It was night time at Stagg Industries building, Simon Stagg heard a gunshot from his office. He rose up from his desk and walked down the lobby to see what was going on. When he arrived there he saw the dead bodies of his guards. He looked up and saw three Danton Black's "Hello Danton," Stagg said. "Goodbye Simon" Black said and held up a gun to shoot him, but before he could shoot a red blur ran at lightning speed and grabbed Stagg and got him out of there.

The red streak took him back to the office, Jay told him to stay there and ran back to the lobby. Jay saw multiple of Danton Black's with weapons.

"I know Stagg stole your research but that doesn't give you the right to murder," Jay told Black.

Danton fired a gun but Jay dodged it. Jay ran and took out two clones. He looked behind and saw one of Danton's clones approaching him "you think this is about my job" Danton said. He attacked him and pulled him up to a pillar "this is about Elizabeth" Black said, "she was my wife" said another clone and fired the weapon but Jay ran and took the clone out.

"She had a degenerative coronary disease, she has been on the transplant list for years but time was running out," Black said searching for Jay "so if I couldn't get her a new heart".

"You were gonna grow her one," Jay said

"I so close until Stagg stole my research so he could reap the glory, and I got to bury my best friend, now I am alone," Black said. Jay attacked the clone and turned around to see more clones running to attack him. The Danton clones kicked Jay's ass, Jay got free and ran to another part of the building.

"Remember Jay, find the prime" Caitlin said over Jay's comlink.

"There's too many of them to fight," Jay said.

"Jay, you need to isolate the prime" Wells said.

"I can't it's impossible," Jay told Wells.

"Nothing is impossible Jay, you taught me that," Joe said, "you can do this".

Jay turned around and saw a whole army of Danton Black's, about to kill Jay. Jay used all his speed and ran through the crowd knocking off every Danton clones.

Jay reached the prime, Jay grabbed him and took him to the third floor knocking him out. Jay looked down on the other clones, they all shut down instantly.

"Jay, Jay are you all right?" Joe asked over the comlink.

"I'm fine, I'm fine" Jay replied, "it's done".

Behind Jay, Danton got back woke up and tried to attack Jay. Jay got to the side and Danton crashed into the window, Jay grabbed Danton's arm trying to save him telling Danton to hang on. Danton said no, another arm grew out and squeezed Jay arm forcing him to let go. Danton felt down to the ground and died.

Back at STAR labs, the team looked at the TV screen a newscast broadcasted about Danton's death.

"I tried to save him," Jay said.

"Seems like that he didn't want to be saved," Wells said "some people and they break, they can't be put together again"

"Some people healed even stronger," Jay said.

"I hope so," Wells said.

Jay walked out of the lab and padded Wells on his shoulder.

"Well at least Multiplex won't be able to hurt anyone else," Cisco said, "told you that I and Pinkie would come up with a cool name". Everyone in the room smiled for a little bit.

"I may be the one in the suit doing all the running, but when I am out there helping people, making a difference," Jay said, "you're all there with me, finally realized something, we were all struck by that lightning". And Jay walked out of the lab.

Back at the CCPD station, Jay is in his forensic lab clearing out some papers. Joe walked into the lab with pizzas in his hands asking Jay that he was hungry. Joe smiled and put the pizzas on the table "pepperoni, cheese and pineapple just like you like them" Jay said.

"Thank you," Jay said.

Joe looked at the map over Canterlot City and told Jay "you were wrong".

"I have been wrong a lot this week you need to be more specific," Jay said.

"You said one of the things driving you to run around out there that you couldn't help your dad," Joe said and pulled the map up showing Jay's search for the man in yellow. "You can't help him, we can and we're gonna figure out who or what killed your mother that night and then we're gonna get your dad out of prison together".

"Joe when I said about you not being my father," Jay said

"Jay I know, I know I'm not your father," Jay said.

"You're right you're not, you're just the man who kept me fed and in clothes," Jay said "Precepts on may be at night until I fell asleep because I was afraid of the dark, helped me with my homework, tell me how to drive and you let me work as a CSI in a young age, you dropped me off at school every day, sounds like a dad to me".

Joe sat down at the table eating pizzas with Jay.

Every kid dreams to be a superhero, having powers saving people. But no kid thinks about how it's like when you're a hero and you're not saving people, the truth is now a lot of things 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 and in some ways, that's the best part. But actually, the best part is to run faster than the speed of light.

At Stagg Industries building, Simon Stagg sits in his office all alone. But when he turns around he sees Harrison Wells at his door.

"Wells, how the hell did you get in here?" Stagg asked

"Are you having a party out there?" Wells asked.

"I'm pretty sure you saw it on TV, a former employee of mine tried to kill me," Stagg said.

"A former employee with the ability to replicate himself, facing a man that can move in super speed," Wells said.

"You saw him haven't you," Stagg said

"Indeed I have" Wells replied.

"Extraordinary" Stagg said and rose up from his seat "the power he possesses it's like the Mercury on earth, can you imagine if you could control his powers if you could harness it you could change what it means to be human, the man in the red mask is the key and I am gonna get him".

Wells took off his glasses and said "the man in the red mask, he's called The Flash or at least he will be one day" Wells and rose up from his wheelchair confusing Stagg.

"What the hell" Stagg said, he was confused that Wells could walk.

Wells took out a knife and plunged it into Stagg's chest. Stagg tried to resist, "forgive me, son. I am worried that you think that this is personal but it's not, it's just that the man in the red mask. The fastest man alive, he must be kept..." And Wells pulled the knife out of Stagg and he Simon fell to the ground dead and Wells finished his sentence "safe".

Author's Note

Leave a comment and tell me what you think, in the next chapter I will focus more on the main 6 and their friendship with Jay.
