touched by lightning: the flash legacy story

After a near-death experience, Addie Pierce wakes to find Barry Allen has passed the Speed Force to her with his final breath - making her the new Flash whether she's ready or not.

Now carrying a legacy she barely understands, Addie is pulled into a world of heroes, villains, and a spiritual connection to the Speed Force that feels bigger than anything she's ever known.

She teams up with Dr. Maya Singh, a brilliant scientist who's instantly drawn to Addie's mix of swagger and hidden vulnerability. Their chemistry grows, even as Addie keeps her heart locked tight behind the trauma of what she's lost.

Then Central City is struck by something terrifying:
The Torrent - a demonic female speedster whose arrival is tied to a mysterious rift no one can explain. Her powers bend the rules of speed in ways that shouldn't be possible, and every clash with Addie leaves the team with more questions than answers.

As Addie learns to navigate her lightning and her growing bond with Maya, she begins to sense that the Speed Force is pushing her toward something - a truth about herself, about The Torrent, and about the kind of hero she might become.

For now, the rift remains a mystery.
The Torrent remains unstoppable.
And Addie Pierce stands at the electric edge of destiny... unsure if she's ready, but running anyway.
