It was a bright sunny day in Blue Valley and I had just come home from the Blur fan club meeting. Well I say meeting, I was the only member. So I just watched the Central City news. Anyways. My sister Rachel was home for a family visit. Great quality time with me, my sister and my dad. My dad was soon going to be going up against the judge for a crime he didn't commit. If I remember correctly the film we watched was Singing in the rain. When suddenly the cops came and took my dad away. Apparently our dad lied about when the court date was. My sister and I packed my bags because I wasn't old enough to live alone. On the train ride I could only think about that horrible night.
The night
I heard screams coming from down the hallway. "Mommy?" I muttered as I stretched. I looked at my fish tank. It was like the room was in zero gravity and I was bolted to the floor. I walked out of my room and saw my mom. "Mommy!" I screamed trying to get my mom to hear. She was trapped. There was a circle of lightning around her and she was crying for help. For a split second I saw a man in a yellow suit in the lightning. My mom screamed at me. "Run Lewis run!". And in a split second. I was 5 blocks away from my house. I made my way back.
Present day
"Lewis!". I woke up. My sister was waiting for me outside of the car. I quickly opened the door and got out. She closed the door. "Lewis I want you to meet someone. His name is Miles Wilburn. He is my boyfriend. "Hi Mr. Wilburn!" I said in a excited way. "Please call me Miles". It turned out Miles was cool, well, for me he was. We talked about his work in forensics and about The Blur. But that wasn't the best part of my day.
The first of many
I set myself up in my room when I felt a gust of wind behind me. I turned around and my mouth dropped. Standing in front of me was my hero, The Blur. "Hello Lewis". He told me about how he got his powers and all about his bad guys throughout the years. He then took off his symbol and gave it to me. "I hope we can meet again one day Lewis". Me too Mr. Blur!" I said in a nervous way. He ran out but he didn't notice what I was doing. I was writing down the way he got his powers.
The "accident"...
I started putting the chemicals in position. I had a lightning rod at hand to catch the lightning. "5,4,3,2-". I was on the floor. And that is how I got my powers. But not how I became Velocity.
