A New Dawn

Chapter 1: The New Age

To be completely honest with you guys I just couldn't wait another day to publish the first chapter of A New Dawn. Also the cover page is temporary, I just threw it together at the last second. The first couple of chapters will be just about Nora learning how to use her powers but after that some fun will happen. I hope you guys do enjoy the first chapter!

Nora's POV

My Name is Nora Snow-Allen. I am the fastest woman alive. When I was fifteen I discovered my powers and the biggest secret, my father is the Flash. To the outside world I am an ordinary student but during the rest of my time, I help my father and the rest of Team Flash fight the Meta-Humans and their descendants who threaten our City. I am, Impulse.

Let's start from the beginning. Where my story starts. They day I first developed my powers.

March 17, 2033

"Nora, Thomas! Your going to be late for school" Dad yelled which echoed throughout the house. I walk down the stairs to see dad standing there. Mom wasn't here this morning because she got called in early at STAR Labs.
"Does it really matter if we're late by a couple minutes? We both get straight As in all our classes and we always have"
"Every year you sound more and more like your mother, and like me" He laughed "Come on" Thomas came down and we all left. After we got dropped off we were got the usual greeting from our older cousin, Dante. We are not blood related but we are more family than friends.
"Allen! Over here!"

That was Dibny, Josh Dibny. Thomas' best friend. I on the other hand, never really liked him. I knew he was hiding something from the first day I met him.

"See you later sis" Thomas said going over towards them.

Thomas was always the more popular out of the two of us. I was always the quiet one who everyone thought was just some nerd. There were a couple people who thought it was cool that I helped out my father at the CCPD.

I was walking through the hallway when I got hit against a locker. "Allen. You were never fast one your feet were you" She chuckled.

Ruby Snart. I hate her more than I hated Dibny. She is a thorn permanently suck in my side. She always thought she ruled the school. Luckily now I can heal from all the bruises and scrapes.

"Nora. Are you alright?" My best friend asked me.

That's Francine, Francine Thawne. In legitimacy she is more of a cousin than Dante but she has always been a good friend who I could always complain to about Ruby.

"Yeah I'm fine. Ruby, got early parole? What did you do? Slip the judge some money? Put something in their drink?"
"I'd better watch your mouth Allen, or you will be facing worse than a couple of bruises"
"For the last time Ruby, leave Nora alone" Dante interrupts
"Whatever you say Ramon" She flirted. Dante proceeded to roll his eyes and came to see if I was alright.

Dante has never liked Ruby but she is very fond of him. It kinda annoys him.

"Nora are you okay?" He asks
"Yeah I'm fine it's just I was starting to get used to she not being here"
"You and me both"

Later that day

After the bell rang both Francine and I went to our lockers.

Luckily, for us, our lockers we almost right next to each other. On that day we decided to walk to her house.

"Have you seen Thomas?" I asked while we walked.
"No the last time i saw him was in math" While we were walking we heard the sound of police sirens and turned around to see two police escorts chasing after an oil truck. The truck spun out and slid quite fast towards us. I grabbed Francine and I somehow ran to the other side of the road. I looked back at the oil truck and saw it stopped with Josh standing there.
He pulled out his phone and called someone "Dad, she knows. Nora knows"
"What just happened?" I asked.
"Nora... you have powers"
"What do you mean powers? Like the Flash powers?" Before he could respond a breach had opened up beside me and my uncle jumped out of it.
"Uncle Cisco?"
"Hi Nora. I need you to come with me. I guess you should also come Francine" We all go through the breach and end up in a room with a bunch of technology.
"Nora" I hear a man say. I turned around and saw the Flash standing there.
"Flash? The Flash?"
"Yes Nora... the Flash"
"Mom? What are you doing here?"
"Same reason I'm here" The Flash removes his cowl to expose his face.
"Dad? You're the Flash?"
"Yes Nora and you and Thomas have my powers... and your mothers"
"Mom? You have powers too?"

She would then transform into her alter ego, Frost.

"Who else knows about this?" I asked
"Cisco and Dante, Ralph and his son, Iris and Eddie, Joe and Cecile, Wally, Jesse, and Harry. That's about it and Nora we can't tell Thomas"
"Why not?"
"Just please Nora. Promise me that you won't tell Thomas"
"Fine"
"Thank you and I guess while we are on the topic... Francine you're also a meta"
"I'm a meta? How? Neither one of my parents are metas and there has been no new dark matter around Central City"
"How did you know it was Dark Matter" Dad asked her
"I read"
"And the part about your parents not being metas aren't exactly true"
"Around sixteen years ago your father was trapped in the speed force" Mom started to say
"The What now?" Both Francine And I said
"The place where I get my powers" Dad responded
"When we got him back he had absorbed some of the speed force"
"So he's a speedster?"
"No. Eddie didn't gain an increase in speed but he did gain the same healing factor that I have. That's why he's a meta but doesn't have traces of dark matter"

The next day

At this point I was still in shock from what I found out the day before. The fact that my father was the flash and I was also a speedster. My main objective was to find Dante and punch him for not telling me he was working with my father.

I found Dante and was walking toward him when once again I got hit against a locker "Sorry Allen. Didn't uh... didn't see you there" I rolled my eyes and got back up.
"Hey Nora. You okay? I heard about what happened yesterday" I simply slapped his arm as hard as I could. "Ow, what was that for?"
"That was for not telling me that you're a meta and working with my father, which again you didn't tell me about"
"Look Nora. We can't be having these conversations here at school okay. I'll meet you, Josh, and Francine after school"

This school day was the longest yet. I felt like I was there for three days but then the final bell rang and I chased after Josh and Francine and we met up with Dante.

"Thank you for meeting me after school"
"What is it Dante?" I asked him
"I wanted to talk to you guys about your powers"
"What is there to talk about? You and Josh have already known about them and Francine and I were going to be debriefed later today"
"It's about sacrifices that you will need to make"
"What sacrifices?"
"Remember when we had that lockdown where two armed men entered the school"
"Yeah who wouldn't"
"And you remember how the Flash arrived and stopped them"
"Yeah"
"That was the hardest moment in my life. I wanted so badly to use my powers and save people but I knew I couldn't because if I did I would have been exposed as a meta which would have lead to a lot more people being hurt. Long story short I just got to remind you that even though you can use your powers for anything... don't, you don't know who could be watching"

Unknown to us at the time Ruby was around the corner of the school listening to everything that we were saying.
