Red Racer Part 0 (Elseworld Flash Application)

My name is Jamie Allen, and I am the fastest human alive. Sort of. My father, Barry Allen, is the Flash, the fastest man alive. From here, it gets a little confusing since I've described two people as being the fastest singular human alive. Now, when I was seven I started developing what my father said was a hereditary mutation caused by exposure to the Speed Force, a pocket dimension that controls the flow of time and gives energy to the "Speedsters", a group of people with enhanced speed. It's been ten years since then, and my powers have grown stronger and more unique, mainly because of extensive training. This is when my real story begins.

 

It was an average day when I was about to head to school, when all of a sudden I was enveloped in blue lightning and knocked unconscious. When I came to, I was in a room that smelled like oil and dust. I looked around and figured it was some sort of warehouse or abandoned lab. There was a small pedestal with a lamp, and a table that had a red and black suit sitting next to an orb. I picked up the orb and it started to speak.

 

"Greetings, Jamie Allen of Earth-201.57. You have been brought here because of a great destiny that awaits you. This world is unique from others as it has no metahuman with enhanced speed. A great tragedy is coming, one that only a "speedster" may prevent. You have been chosen to take the role of this world's Flash. The suit left will be your temporary uniform until you design something more inline with what the Flash would wear. Further instructions will come as your current abilities improve and you progress your life as a hero".

 

I looked down at the suit. It looked like my father's original suit, except it was lined with black and sported a more feminine build. I sighed. It looks like I'll be here for a while. So, why not give being the Flash a try?

This is my application for the Flash in Elseworld (because it totally doesn't say that in the title). I was thinking of doing Flash with a "50's sci-fi movie" feel, but then I started thinking of a female Flash, one that was younger and less experienced. Thus, Jamie was created. I hope you guys enjoy this story, and wish me luck on the role!
