My Discovery

Before I was born, my dad was a speedster. Yet, an evil one. I had never grown up with a mom. My father killed her right after I was born. My older brother Hunter had watched her die, my father wanted him to see that his mom never appreciated him. So, what any cruel father would do, he had sent him to an orphanage. Growing up with a villain father, made it hard for me to get friends. They all knew he was my dad. Yet, he cared so much about me, he would do anything to protect me.

Oh! Wait! How rude of me not to introduce myself. I am Chloe Zolomon. I am the fastest speedster out there, even faster than my father was. When I was in middle school, I had always been the fastest kid on the track team. I could never find out why. Until the day I had to race my arch nemesis from the first grade, Eddie Thon. We were actually more friends than enemies. Alway, I had gotten ready at the starting line when I had shocked myself with a small rod of lightning. I thought it was strange but I had went along with it. As the coach blew the whistle, we took off, yet I was at the finish line within seconds!

When I had watched the recording of the race from my friend Jessie Wells's phone, there was purple lightning that had trailed behind me. I was to shocked I had passed out. When I woke up I asked, "What happened?" And since my father had died, my "father" was the smartest man on Earth 2, Dr. Harrison Wells. He had replied with, "Oh crap, lets get you to star labs! And quick! Get in the car!"

As we zoomed through traffic, there was a storm stiring up into the sky. "Get inside quick!" Dr.Wells screeched. We all scrambled into the large building. STAR Labs was different than I had imagined. Harry had never taken me in before. The ceilings were tall and broad with the mechanical structure in fanominal condition after so many years. The hall ways were made out of concrete and glass. In the main area, there were three rooms; one room had a medical set up thing, another room had tons of gadgets and computers, and the last room had a horseshoe shaped table with 3 computers. I was beginning to become curious about why I was here. "Why did we come here? Why have I never been here before?" I croaked. The thunder rumbled and the lightning crackled. "For your first question, you will find out in just a minute. As for the second one, I'll explain later," Wells had answered.

One of his assistants escorted me into the medical room to lay down on the creepy bed. I had obediently lied down as the paper crunched under my soft skin. The assistant with the long blond hair, stuck a needle in my arm and stickers on my chest attached to cords. "What the heck are you guys doing to me?" I muttered. The room went silent. Jessie looked as though she had seen this before. Harry then approached me, "Have you ever heard of a speedster?"

"Uh... duh!" I said worriedly

"Good, this should save me some time! When you watched the video of the race, what did you see trailing behind you?" He said eagerly

"For starters, my pony tail had fallen out. Oh yeah! And not the mention the freaking purple lightning trailing behind me. Why was there light...oh! Crap." I said tensely.

"This may sound crazy, but I think you had inherited your speed from your father. Has this ever happened to you before?" Wells said cautiously.

"What! And no. I have read about this. I had done a report about it in the fifth grade. Everbody thought I was crazy on doing a report on that. But, why would the speed force pick me? I am nothing special!" I answered suprisingly loud.

"Because of the future! Your destiny, Chloe Zolomon, is to help the world and stop evil." His eyes widened.

"I get to help people? Will I be able to fix all of the bad my dad had caused?" My voice cracked.

"Yes and no. There will be no time for that, we will just have to wait to see what the future has in store for us!" Harry said proudly.

Dr. Wells had then had me run on a speedster designed treadmill . I got up to four hundred miles per hour! I thought that was really fast, then Harry began to worry. "I just don't know why your lighting is purple." His old voice cranked. Harry ran more tests, to find out my lightning is just naturally purple. There would be no way of knowing why it is what is is for a little while.
