Rapids (AU) [Completed]

They couldn't find a cause for the fire that day. the CSI are ruling it an electrical fire, but I think it's something much more than that. I don't think it's a coincidence that a few minutes after Dr. Wells left me, that my house caught fire.

Something more is going on here. 

Despite what I think, we still lost everything. For the time being, Wells offered to pay rent for us until we could gather enough money to start up on our own. I'm grateful to him, despite my suspicions, so, we'll see where this leads. Either way, it's moving time. Everyone from the block is here, and so was Caitlin and Cisco. They told me that Dr. Wells politely declined the invite, and had to focus in his work.

"I'm going to miss you man." Greg says as we preform our handshake. "You're always welcome back."

"I'm going to miss you too, Greg. There's a few things I need to tell you." I lead him off to a corner away from everyone.

I take a deep breath, knowing I shouldn't do this, but I have to. "The night I was struck by lightning, I was not only put into a coma, but I was given powers. I can run faster than the speed of sound!" I quietly exclaim.

Greg looks at me like I'm crazy. "Chris... I don't think that's possibly. That's like, Marvel Comics stuff." 

I cross my arms, and roll my eyes at him. "Name a place."

"Big Belly Burger."

"Give me two seconds." I say.

"O-" I grab him, and speed to Big Belly. I pause just outside the door way, so he can see it, before speeding  back.

"Believe me now?" He doesn't say anything at first, as if he can find the right words. "I'll take that as a yes. there's one more thing I have to tell you. I'm also going to sound crazy, so stay with me." I brace him.

"Nothing can be crazier than what we just did!" Greg says, laughing. 

"Trust me. This one might be. Ready? I think Dr. Wells burnt down my house."

Greg stops laughing. "You're joking, right? What you told me earlier, THAT was crazy, this is just insane! Why would he burn your house down?" He asks.

"That's what I've been thinking about. There are a several reasons. He may have wanted my dad to die in that fire, or for us to move to Central City, where he can keep a closer eye on me, who knows."

Greg shrugs. "Well, it's not like he burned down your house to get you to move to Central City, so he could kill you and your dad, right?" 

"I'm not so sure anymore."
