My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive.To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R Labs, I fight crime, and find other meta-humans like me. I am The Flash.
Yes, I'm sure you've heard me say that many times. And all the times I said that, the story was going to be about how I would catch my mother's killer, or how to stop the Reverse Flash, or even how to stop Savitar, but not this time. This time our story is going to take place in Earth -1 where two very different people met, and changed both their lives for each other.
To start off, you have to understand the meaning of negative worlds. As you already know, there are infinite worlds out there, but they all center around our earth. Negative worlds on the other hand, are different. They are basically the copy of the original, only to make a negative realm, two copies of other worlds have to be collided. To make Earth -1, worlds that couldn't be more different became one. Magic and Science. Unexplainable and Logical.
Earth -1 just added two more characters to Team Flash. Emma Swan and Killian Jones. If you are not familiar with Killian's true identity, he is Captain Hook. That's right, didn't see that coming? Emma Swan, on the other hand is Snow White's and Prince Charming's daughter. Sometimes it leads you to think, is there a world were you and your true love have your happily after?
In a society where technology enhances conformity, Charlie defies expectations by requesting to transition to male. But when the system wants to change his brain rather than his body, he and the woman he loves must join forces with a group of Queer Rebels to fight for their freedom.
Season 1 of The Queer Rebels
***
Charlie has always been told that on his twentieth birthday, he can choose to be anything he wants. Most people choose to be beautiful, or smart, or funny, but on his Choosing Day, Charlie asks for a male body to fit his mind.
But when he realizes that authorities aren't going to accept his request and he's in grave danger, his only choice is to escape with Marcy, the woman he loves. Together, Marcy and Charlie give up everything they've ever known to escape the city for the Queer Rebels, who for decades have been providing refuge to runaways.
At first, Charlie and Marcy's relationship blooms as Charlie finds a community he never knew existed and harnesses advanced tech the government's always hidden from them. However, nothing is quite as it seems, and things get complicated as they are forced to navigate ideological factions within the Queer Rebels. Charlie is drawn into a struggle for liberation, while Marcy urges caution. Their love was born in a repressive regime, but will it survive in the freedom beyond the city's borders?
