Jamie West // Book 1 // The Flash

Trajectory

EARTH-2
Jamie wakes up in bed alone. Today was the day. The day of her wedding. It was happening at night time, at the Zion Saint Church, at 9 pm. She gets up and walks to the bathroom past the mirror to the toilet, but she steps back and turns towards the mirror when she finally see it. Her belly, growing.

"Your growing", Jamie tells her baby.

After getting ready, Jamie goes to the kitchen where she sees her soon-to-be-husband, sitting on the kitchen counter.

"Jay, baby. Look. The baby growing", Jamie smiles.

"Great", Jay says, with no emotion.

"What's wrong. Your supposed to be happy. We waited over two years for this day. Our wedding day", Jamie says. "I say two years, because that's how long I've been waiting".

"Here", Jay says, giving Jamie a picture, of a man, wanted by the police.

"What's this", she asks.

"I want to marry you. But I want you to marry me. The real me", Jay says.

"This is you?", Jamie asks. "I walk by this picture every time, I went to visit Barry. Today of days, your telling me your the guy who murdered more people then Ted Bundy ever did".

"What do you want to do?", Jay asks.

"Other then kill you?", Jamie asks. "I want to marry you. All of you. Baggage and all. Just like your marrying me. Baggage and all. Me and you forever. I want to say you aren't your past, but clearly you are".

"Really, Jamie. Not the time for jokes", Jay says.

"How about you shut up and listen. I want to marry you at the church at 9", Jamie says. "But only...only if you promise me no more killing. You don't have to answer now. But when I walk down that isle, and I see you waiting for me. I better have my answer".

"Can't I tell you now?", Jay says.

"No. Because I have to get my dress and other stuff. Because we're getting married. And married people have honeymoons", Jamie says. "So see you later".

Jamie walks out the door, and speeds for S.T.A.R.Labs. She has a plan and today might be the only day, she can have time alone, to get started on that plan.

She finally makes it to Wells office, although she feels like she has to throw up, she holds it.

"No more speeding, today", Jamie tells her self.

"Okay. I have my dress. Bouquet. Shoes. I'll do my hair at the church", Jamie tells herself. "All right, baby. Operation End Zoom".

"Whatcha doing", Wells asks Barry.

"Training".

"Training?", Wells repeated. "Allen, don't be stupid. I know you took the V-9, Allen".

"No, I haven't", Barry says.

"Oh, no?".

"No. I took it, but I haven't taken it yet", Barry says.

"Good".

"Tell me why I shouldn't", Barry says.

"Figure it out", Wells says.

"If the game is already rigged, why can't I level the playing field?", Barry asks. "I mean, if everybody else is cheating, how can...I want to be fast enough to stop Zoom and any speedster that ties to hurt my friends. Shouldn't I use everything in my power to do that?".

"You want to take a shortcut; is that right?", Wells asks. "You want to take a shortcut? Remember this. You lose a chunk of your humanity every time you compromise you me values".
