The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (Male Reader Insert)

1.3 Sense of Heroism

Y/N sat in the group's warehouse hideout. He looked at a screen while holding his damaged arm. To his surprise, the pain seemed to have alleviated over time. Caitlin was showing an x-ray of his injury.

Caitlin: It looks like you had a distal radius fracture.

Y/N: Had? You're using the past tense.

Caitlin showed another image, this one of the current x-ray they had just taken moments ago. Y/N was astonished by the image. His wrist looked completely fine.

Caitlin: It's healed. In three hours you've managed to heal an injury that would normally take weeks to recover from.

Y/N: How is that even possible?

Caitlin: We don't know... yet.

Y/N: You said that the muscles on my abs were undergoing constant cellular regeneration. If I can see and run really fast, could it be possible that my cells are also working overtime? That would mean an increased metabolism and blood flow from my quick beating heart. An increase in white blood cells may increase my body's natural healing process.

Dr. Snow looked at him with a raised brow, surprised by his hypothesis.

Y/N: What? I'm a scientist, remember?

Caitlin shrugged and eyed him while walking back to her desk. Cisco walked in carrying the leotard Y/N had been wearing.

Cisco: Dude, you really did a number on this thing.

He held up the suit to show small holes on the back of it. There appeared to be scorched burn marks surrounding the holes. Y/N looked at it in surprise and confusion.

Y/N: How is that possible? I didn't even feel anything burning on me.

Wells: This may answer your question.

Wells rolled over in a chair and showed an image on the screen. It was footage of Y/N running.

Wells: While you were running, you appeared to be generating some form of static discharge.

In the video, Y/N could see himself running at high speeds. However, there was something different that caught his focus. Behind him, he appeared to leaving behind sparks or threads of orange electricity. He looked at the image, thinking about something. After a moment, he snapped back to reality.

Y/N: What is going on here?

Wells: When you run, you must be creating so much friction that you produced electrical currents.

Caitlin: It may also be the energy in your body. At those speeds, you are generating so much energy that is needs to be released from your system, creating an aura of what looks like orange lightning.

Cisco: Great. So if he runs again, he'll need a suit that is friction resistant and allows for mobility. I may have something in my supplies...

He muttered to himself as he walked off to his lab. Y/N continued to look at the image, lost in thought. He thought back to that fateful night when he and Barry lost their parents. Something didn't sit right with him.

Some time later, Y/N wondered into Cisco's makeshift lab. There were boxes full of equipment and crafting material strewn about the place. Y/N let out a low whistle upon seeing all the gadgets placed about on the various tables.

Y/N: You are quite the engineering expert, aren't you?

Cisco: Yeah, you could say that. You should see all the fun toys I can make with the proper equipment. It is sick. Imagine Doc Brown with Bruce Wayne's investment.
