Milliseconds (Berry Allen/Flash Fanfic)

Chapter 3: Things you can not outrun

*-* Barry's POV *-*

"Do you know that zombies actually exsist in nature, there's a species of fungi that infects ants. To crawl into plants that produce spores that makes new hosts. I'm going full nerd again?" I confessed as Iris rolled her eyes.

We just walked out of a movie about zombies, yep you heard me right... zombies. I always use science as  backup to impress iris since, i have a 'small' crush on her. and when i say small i mean oh my god shes so hot, type of crush.

Yep, intresting old nerdy me. A scream echoed off the walls as iris talked to her boyfriend, Joe's partner Matt. I smiled to my self as i dashed down the street, the world around me slowing down as i sped up to fight the crime.

*-* Mile's POV *-*

I sighed rubbing my sweaty hair as i ran on the treadmill, pushing myself to the limit. My muscles were tense and throbbing as doctor wells monitored my blood and energy levels. After that dream, it has become harder to trust anyone. The fear was cleary visable as Doctor Wells spoke into his microphone.

"Miles, are you ok? Your heart beat has clearly accerlertaed." The treadmill halted from its movement as i took a knee trying to catch my breath. I wish Barry was here, he would always comfort m in times of distress and stood out for me when i need it. But he is clearly fighting off bad guys while i get tested on to see my extremely slow superspeed.

Inside, i knew i was just seconds from crying on the floor. I positively knew that if i stay that i want make it to the superhero stage. Im useless, A freak with a power only the two people have. I shouldnt be here...

I should not exist.

. . .

The room was lively as I laid on the couch, feet dangling in the air. Caitlin and cisco stared at me weirdly as Barry and the rest of the gang started talking about another metahuman. If you do not know by now a metahuman is a human that was given super human powers from the particle accelerator explosion.

Last time we faced a man that could control the weather and made a massive tornado around himself. Now there is a man going around the city with deaths far and wide by poisonous gas. Clearly he may have possibly summoned the gas or maybe just use the ventilation system to use his very deadly gas against his victims.

I never wanted to fight, to be involved in all this superhero stuff because I, I'm not fit to do it. Only Barry is.

"Fascinating, a Metahuman that can manipulate poison gas", Doctor wells watched the screen with fascination.

"Is it just poisonous gas? Or is it able to control all aireal substances" Cisco asked as he walked down the steps. The thumping of his feet left echo's bouncing off each wall before landing in my ears.

Oh wonderful, I sighed and got up laying the book on the couch. Now this conversation is starting to get interesting.

"And how is he able to formulate the connection, is it physiological or logical" Caitlin trailed on after Cisco, as I stood by Barry and Joe, Joe turning towards Barry, arm wrapped around my shoulder. I smiled and listened to the conversation.

So. MUCH. SCIENCE. I groaned into joes shirt as they talked about the Metahuman. I love science, don't get me wrong but when it comes out in full force it can become somewhat weird and annoying.

"They must be really excited about this stuff" Joe commented as I gave him a sideways smirk. "You have no idea".

Barry noticed this and smiled,
"The only thing j find exciting is putting criminals behind bars, But IornHeights is not technically equipped to hold Metahumans." Joe replied to the gangs rambling and on going science talk.
