The Streak

Chapter 1

No one, no one understands what it's like to move so fast that everything is so slow. No one knows what it's like to be mistreated because you're different. No one knows, but me. I live with the same shit everyday. Get up, get yelled, go to school, get beat up, go home, get abused, and repeat. There is never a change, my life has always been this way since my parents found out and thought I was the spawn of the devil.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

"LUNA GET UP IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO LEAVE FOR GOOD!!"

That last part got me straight out of my bed and into one of my favourite outfits. A silver leather jacket, a rolling stones shirt, grey skinny jeans, and silver high tops. I decide to put my grey hair up into a ponytail and race outside into the kitchen to see my mother with two suit cases in her hands.

"W-what's going on?" I asked looking at the two suit cases.

"Didn't you hear me! You're leaving! Someone was stupid enough to actually want to raise you." She replied in a sinister tone.

Before I could respond I was being push out of the house, onto an bus, and given an address. The bus moves and she is gone, gone like her love for me.

I jolt my head up at the sound of the bus halting to a stop.

"Central City!"

I hop out of my seat and walk out of the bus. I look onto the busy street, full of people. I look down at the wrinkled paper down in my hands. I look back up; Central City Police. Who ever my new parent is, they obviously work for the police. I walk in and I can already feel the thousands of eyes on me. The elevator ride was quiet, but the thoughts were loud as can be. I exit the elevator and start walking, when I'm stopped by one of the detectives.

"Excuse me but why are you here"

" oh um I'm here to see uh" I look down at my paper because I had already forgotten the parents name. "Joe uh West, ya Joe West. Do you know where he is, I uh only got his work address"

"You're lookin at him"

"oh really I'm so sorry"

"It's no problem. I take it you're Luna" He says grabbing the paper from my hand

"yea that's me"

"Alright. Here let me introduce you to your brother" He grabs my hand and starts walking up the stairs with me following behind. Before I know it we are in a lab with many science stuff. Out of excitement I zoom over to one of the mixing glasses. I turn around to see both Joe and a man in about his Twenties looking at me with wide eyes.

"I-I'm sorry"

"no no no there is absolutely nothing to be sorry about" Joe says while the other guy just stands there, still wide eyed.

"y-you don't mind that I have S-Super speed"

" no, for matter of fact I can do the same thing" The guy says zooming over to me and taking the glass out of my hands. He was telling the truth, he is like me, only he creates a bolt of yellow lightning while I have been told I create a blur of silver. " My names Barry Allen, nice to meet you"

"you too, I'm Luna. So y-your a mutant l-like me?"

"No they call us Meta humans, but your too young to be a meta human"

"uh yea I was uh born like this"

"awesome! I have to take you to S.T.A.R. labs"

"well I could go now if that's alright with Joe"

"sure go ahead. You two have fun"

Since Barry didn't have a car we walked all the way there. I was tired, so tired that I just wanted to drop dead.

"we are here!" Barry says extending his arms to show me a room with computer and tons of science stuff. I zoom around looking at everything, but I stop to look at a scarlet red suit.

"Is that yours" I say turning around to face Barry, when I see that three more people had entered the room and there mouths were wide open, except for the guy in the wheelchair.

"I already have a name, Quicksilver"
