Red Racer Vol. 2 #13: Trick's On You Pt. 4-The Brave and The Bold

(WORD OF WARNING: This is a long one ._.)

A few hours after I decide to go see Zolomon, three people walk into the labs with Cait, who introduces them to us. One's a girl, who's giving off this weird frequency vibration that I can't pick up at all. Another is my Uncle Wally? He's wearing a police outfit that's from Coast City. Looks like he takes after Grandpa here. And finally, Hal Jordan. The Green Lantern. I can't believe my eyes when I look at him. The others seem to pick up on this, and I quickly change my attitude and start to talk.

 

"Well, I'm Jamie. I'm working as a bit of an... internship for my forensics class at school," I add, since it seemed weird for their to be an almost 18-year old in a laboratory, "This is Cisco, and that's Caitlin. What can we help you with?"

 

Cisco notices Hal's costume and speaks up, to which Uncle Wally explains who he is...sorta. He then goes on to say that Hal was hurt by a metahuman, and asks for our help. I can't contain my excitement.

 

"Sure!" I yell, but I stop when I see the girl whisper in Hal's ear. Something is definitely off with her. With other people, my powers can detect a certain frequency they give off. But with her...it's a lot faster. Not speedster fast, though. Cisco and I help him get to the Med-Bay (Cis' name idea), and help him get the torso off from his uniform. I gasp a little at what I see. He has a huge area of charred and burned flesh on his chest, and was caked with dried blood. It's weird to see him like this, since on my world he's pushing 50. Here, he's not over 30. He lays down and rests, while Cisco goes out to talk to everyone else. Making sure nobody's looking, I used my powers to sprint around the room, grab supplies, and insert an IV drip to his arm. It's your usual concoction of vitamins, plus a little chemical I made up by creating a vaccine using my cells. Hopefully, this helps him heal better. Once that was done, I spent a bit getting info on Dr. Zolomon when Hal wakes up.

 

We had a really cool chat, he asked me if we really worked with Flash, and I smirked a bit without answering. Then he formally introduced himself to me, and laid back down. I go to leave when he talks.

 

"Jamie, why did you stay?"

 

I think for a second, then answer.

 

"I don't know. You just kinda remind me of someone I know."

 

With this, I leave, grab my costume, and head to Zolomon's apartment.

 

Hunter Zolomon's Penthouse...

 

Dr. Zolomon sat at his desk, looking over old notes on a formula called 'Velocity-3', discovered by Edward Clariss in the 1960's. Zolomon had been working on revising it for a friend and was now on 'Velocity-7'. Suddenly, a red blur taps him on the shoulder and he screams, falling onto the floor.

 

"Woah, woah. I'm the Flash, good guy-er, girl. Maybe you've seen me on the news, kinda."

 

He breathes slowly and looks at her, then sighs in relief.

 

"I thought you were him. Thank god you're not."

 

She looks at him with a confused look.

 

"He? He who?"

 

"The man in black. You haven't seen him? He work for Professor T-"

 

At this, a black blur trailed by red lightning runs in and grabs Zolomon. It looks over at the Flash and speaks with a distorted voice.

 

"The Professor wanted me to say, happy early birthday, Flash."

 

As it leaves with Zolomon, the Flash just stands there, frozen with terror. Only one word can escape her lips.

 

"Zoom."
