The Flash: The Comet

Chapter 2: Particle Accelerator

Barry looked at him shocked and looked back at a monitor to see his refraction. He looked shocked and confused.

Barry: "Lighting gave me abs?"

I guess he didn't have abs before getting struck by lighting. But this doesn't make sense to me. I didn't get struck by lightning, I was thrown to the wall. Why do I have the same treatment as Barry?

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

I noticed how she couldn't stop staring at Barry's chest. 

Cisco: "Come here, have a seat."

Barry sat back down on the bed, and I got up. I ripped the wires off of my body and put on one of the lab's sweaters. 

Cisco: "You were in a coma."

I looked at Cisco shocked since that meant I was also in a coma. Oh, god. Is dad okay? Barry looked as shocked as I am.

Barry: "For how long?"

Harrison: "Nine months."

I snapped my head up to see my dad, but to my horror, my dad was in a wheelchair. Oh, god, what happened to him?

Harrison: "Welcome back. Mr. Allen."

Jesse: "Dad!"

They all snapped their heads at me as I ran over to my dad. He grinned and grabbed my arms. I smiled, crying a little bit, just happy to see that he isn't dead. I'll take this, rather than him being dead.

Harrison: "I am so happy to see that you are better."

Jesse: "Me too."

I pulled him into a hug, and he hugged me back. Though it was kind of awkward since I had to bend a little bit to hug him.

Harrison: "We have a lot to discuss, Mr. Allen. You to Jesse."

I looked down at him confused, and we followed dad as he left the cortex. We walked down the hall...while my dad wheeled down the hall. Barry looked TOO excited right now, and it was starting to get on my nerves.

Barry: "It's hard to believe I'm here. I have always wanted to meet you face to face."

Dad didn't look at Barry, but I could tell my dad didn't really care about what Barry said. I held dad's hand as we walked down the hall.

Harrison: "Yeah? Well, you certainly went to great lengths to do it. S.T.A.R. Labs has not been operational since ema categorized us as a class four hazardous location."

I looked down at him shocked since this was his life dream, and now it's all gone. We went to the main lobby to see that now it was just a giant hole. God, what happened? Is that the Particle Accelerator?

Harrison: "17 people died that night, and many more were injured. Myself amongst them."

Jesse: "What happened, dad?"

Harrison: "Nine months ago, the particle accelerator went online exactly as planned. You know that part Jesse."

I nodded my head, and Barry looked at me.

Harrison: "For 45 minutes, I had achieved my life's dream. And then...then there was an anomaly. The electron volts became unmeasurable, and the ring under us popped. Energy from that detonation was thrown into the sky and that, in turn, seeded a storm cloud-"

Barry: "That created a lightning bolt that struck me."

Harrison: "That's right."

Jesse: "But I wasn't struck by a lightning bolt. What happened to me?"
