November 2, 2017 - I was walking with my best friend Cisco Roman. He's known as Vibe. He won't tell me who Kid Flash is though. I don't mind that. We were walking on a side walk after getting some Big Belly Burger when there were gun shots coming from the other side of the street. Cisco couldn't use his powers because he didn't have his suit on. "Barry, we need you to race in there, and take those robbers out." Cisco told me. I looked at him as if he was crazy. "What?! You know I can't." I replied back to him. Cisco gave me a serious face, "If you don't, people will die!" I obviously knew I had to do something. Plus, I wanted to see how fast I really was.

Electricity surged through my body. I could feel them crackling throughout my body. My eyes flickered with lightning, and I ran in there as fast as I could. It felt like 3 minutes for me, but it was really 10 seconds for everyone else. I threw the first robber with my speed. Punched the second robber, and I just made the third robber fly by the wind of my speed. I caught the bullets before they hit any civilians. I ran out of there, and stopped right beside Cisco again. "Woah! That was really fast.." Cisco said in shock. "Yeah.. Heh. It was fun." I replied back to him. I really did enjoy doing that. It felt great, saving people with all that power, and the rush of the wind flying past my face when I ran. I wanted to become a hero. "If you really want to do something like that again, then here's an address." Cisco said, and gave me a card. "Okay, thanks." I replied back to him. I looked at the card. It said, "S.T.A.R. Labs at 8 AM tomorrow. Don't be late."
