This is the part where I'm supposed to do the whole intro thingy.
Barry Allen.
Fastest man 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 Third in downtown Central City.
And that blur? That's me on my way to it.
I'm going 352 miles an hour.
And it's a slow day.

"This is Ladder 52. We're still at least two minutes out."

"People are gonna die in there!"

"I know."

Barry ran past the firefighter truck and over a bridge.

"Barry."

"Barry!"

"What? Did I miss it?"

"What? Did I miss it?"

"You overshot by about six blocks."

Barry reverse ran the six blocks he missed and straight into the burning building.

"Cisco there's fire everywhere!"

"Mommy?"

Seeing the girl breathing in smoke, he immediately grabbed a hold of here, bringing her outside and running back, bringing the rest of the people outside, away from the burning building. Once the firetruck came into view, Barry ran to a nearby alley and smiled.

"What else you got for me Cisco?"

"Barry, it's Caitlin."

Barry breathed out, knowing he was in deep trouble, "Oh, hey Caitlin! How's your day?"

"Come back to S.T.A.R. Labs, now."

"Oh boy.."
