Red Racer Vol. 1 #8: Rogue Origins-Epilogue

Two weeks after the Rogues...

 

I walk into the labs after getting a text from Cisco that a surprise was ready for me. I run down to the (temporary) level they work in and see the two scientists standing in front of a door, both of their faces wearing huge grins.

 

"What's up, guys?"

 

"So, there are actually two surprises for you. Cisco and I found out that Victor is getting out of the hospital later today, and I'm sure he wants to thank you very much."

 

I smile. "That's terrific! What's the other one?"

 

"I finished it."

 

Cisco presses the opening mechanism and reveals a small room with a transparent storage container. In the container sits a red suit with gold and black details.

 

"It's made of a highly flexible material that absorbs heat and friction. The darker parts are also more resistant to indirect gunfire and melee projectiles."

 

I stare in awe and slowly walk towards it. When I reach it, I see a gold lightning bolt across the chest area and place my hand over it. It's the symbol that I have on my necklace charm, a birthday present from my dad gave me before he...I start to tear up.

 

"Are you okay?" Cisco asks, a look of worry appearing on his face. I nod and wipe my eyes.

 

"I'm fine. It's beautiful. Thank you. Both of you."

 

They smile warmly, and Caitlin starts to speak.

 

"We'll leave you alone for a bit".

 

They walk out of the room with me just looking at the suit. That's okay, since I needed to clear my thoughts anyways.

 

My name is Jamie Allen, and I am the fastest human alive. The Flash was my father, but he's not here. I am. It's my job to carry on his legacy, with the help of a few friends. And so far, I'm doing pretty good. I am the Flash.

 

With the Rogues gone, I can look into some other mysteries, like the metahuman testing STAR Labs has been doing. First though, I want to investigate this letter that showed up for me...
