Barry gets his speed

Today the particle accelerator is being turned on, maybe I can manipulate some of the dark matter, that would be interesting.

---

I watched in the crowd as Barry and Iris came, and when they left cause Iris' laptop was stolen. I stayed, wanting to se the metaphorical fireworks. His speech and Clifford DeVoe's wife confronting Wells about the possibility of a Higgs boson bridge. Now to most this is just a science related term, but because of a mix of boredom and the use of instant mastery, I already know what this is and it's implications.

Watching the particle accelerator explode in person is different then how it was protrayed on the show, in person the severity of the situation really sinks in. As the wave of dark matter washes over me, I keep my energy manipulation active, to make sure I'm not harmed, while also guiding the dark matter to possible make me a meta human. I know I was succesful when I heard the now familiar voice.

[Skill gained, Matter Manipulation. Presence of compatable skill detected, Energy Manipulation and Matter Manipulation will be combined into Elemental Manipulation(Energy can often be considered a fifth element, alongside Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma. Any form of energy is included under this fifth element, including exotic types of energy like magic or cosmic)]

'Oh sweet, now I can do fun things, like manipulate the air around me to fly, or go full on Frozone and skate on ice'

For the next 9 months I gave money to help the injured from the accelerator explosion, anonymously of course. I also visited Barry when he was in the hospital, but once he was moved into Star Labs I didn't visit him, I don't feel comfortable around Wells, considering I'm not from the original timeline he might get suspicious about me.

I did practice my skills more, I can manipulate all elements within my zone now, that's what I started calling my area of influence, my zone is currently all of Central City and some of the surroundings too. Though using my control over space I can go anywhere in this timeline, but I still haven't figured out dimensional travel yet. I can however affect time freely with my zone aswell, but I try not too, certain things could sense it.

I believe today to be the day Barry wakes from his speed force induced coma, and discovers his powers, and I think I'll give him a little surprise.

One neat little trick I figured out, was to fold space, allowing me to use it like a one way portal to spy on people.

So I opened a portal and waited, watching throughout the day, untill I heard Cisco start playing Poker Face by Lady Gaga. This should be it, Barry should wake any second now.

Caitlen and Cisco having their little chat.

"What are you doing?" Caitlin

"He likes this song" Cisco

"How could you possibly know that" Caitlin

"I checked his facebook page" Cisco

Then Caitlin and Cisco walk away from Barry, to go fidget with something or whatever, I'm not sure but I don't really care. Barry then wakes up, and sits up immediately. Cisco says, "He's awake," and runs to a microphone and says into it, "Dr. Wells, get down to the cortex, like, right now"

While Caitlin does her pupil inspection on Barry.

Then they had the little chat about Barry's cells being in a constant state of cellular regeneration. Then Wells shows up, and has his talk with Barry about what happened, I stopped watching after that.

I went and got dressed, and started heading towards Jittery Joe's, wanting to see Barry's powers work, in person.

---

I was there in the shop, watching to see how Barry's power work.

Barry soon walked in and talked with Iris for a little bit, and when Iris placed her hand over Barry's heart, I felt it, because of Elemental Manipulation I can easily sense matter and energy around me, I felt the energy as it rushed into Barry and his heart spead up to a beat that would be lethal to normal humans, it was using the dark matter in Barry's body as a link. What's interesting is what happened next, Barry moved faster than I could see, he only moved his head though, so it wasn't that noticable. Then I thought of something, the speed force is just an energy, that Barry's body uses to go faster than what is normally possible, what if I tried to replicate that effect using my energy instead.

So while I watched Barry test his powers with the Star Labs' team, I was practicing guiding my energy through my body, to speed it up. I was ecstatic when I heard the system.

[Through attempted actions the skill, Super speed has been unlocked]

Yes, does this mean I can do that for other skills too, like regeneration, that would be great.

I watched Barry run, but this time I used Super speed myself to speed think, and it was amazing, watching everything seem to move in slow motion then seeing Barry just running.

A smile crept onto my face as I though of something else fun. Before Barry could get distracted and crash, I fully opened a portal right beside Barry and waved at him, then closed it. From the view of others there was a slight flash of light, but otherwise unnoticeable considering the distance between me and the Star Labs team.

What followed was the same as in the show, Barry got distracted, after remembering when mom was killed, and crashed into the water barrels, causing a distal radius fracture that healed within 3 hours.

Then Barry left Star Labs to got find Iris, and he caught her kissing Eddie, and they had a little talk about how it just kinda happened and please don't tell Joe. But their conversation was interupted by a police cap sliding out of control and almost hitting Barry and Iris. Barry looks at the car that caused the police car to slide out of control and sees Mardon driving it. So Barry speeds off and gets into the car, breaking the window. Mardon tries to pull a gun on Barry, but Barry grabs the steering wheel and turns it while in super speed, causing the car to flip. Once out of the can Mardon creates a fog and disappears into it. Soon after a car crashes into the flipped car and explodes, the man driving the car died.

Barry tried to tell Joe that it was Mardon who is causing the problems, but he yells at Barry about making things up, and that it was just a scared little boys mind trying to make sense of what happened. Barry walked away after that, going to Star Labs to ask questions. Right after Barry leaves, Eddie gives the sketch to Joe, the sketch of who robbed the bank, the sketch of Clyde Mardon.

Barry goes into the cortex at Star Labs, and questions angerly, "I' wasn't the only one affected by the particle accelerator explosion, was I?"

Wells grances at Caitlin and Cisco, then looks at Barry and says, "We don't know for sure."

Barry gets closer to Wells, "You said the city was safe, that there was no risidual danger. But that's not trues so what really happened that night?"

Again Wells glanced at Caitlin and Cisco before saying, "Well... the accelerator went active. We all felt like heroes, and then... It all went wrong. The dementional barrier ruptured, unleashing unknown energies into our world. Antimatter, Dark Energy, X-Elements-"

Barry interupted Wells, "-those are all theoretical."

Wells continues, "And how theoretical are you?"

Wells then shows a map that is covered in spots, each spot being dispersion of exposure of these energies, and Wells said they have been searching for other meta-humans. Finally the term, though they did think it up, I already knew it was gonna happen.

Barry procedes to tell them about Mardon being a meta-human and bank robber, that can control the weather. Cisco thinks that is cool, and says so, with Barry rebutiling that no, it's not cool because a man died today. Then there was the whole chat about Barry wanting to go stop Mardon, and Wells raising his voice, saying Barry isn't a hero, but just a man struck by lightning. After all that, Barry runs to Starling City, to have a talk with the Arrow, with it ending in Barry being told he can inspire, save, and help people.

Why am I watching all this? I already know what's gonna happen. Well, I've already seen it, so lets go to something else. How about some more training, or trying to unlock a new skill.
