The particle accelerator wasn't supposed to malfunction that night.
But when it did, not only did it create The Flash and many other meta-humans...
It created Swift.

THE APARTMENT FELT empty—emptier than it had when the three girls first moved in and it actually was empty.
Without Emily in the apartment now, it was less cheerful; there were no laughs about burnt pancakes, no arguments about what to watch on Netflix in the living room after their late-night dinners—there was nothing in their apartment that reminded them of Emily besides the few pictures on the wall of the three girls that had been taken of the years, and the giant framed photo of the three girls of Emily's wedding day that was hung up between two windows above their sofa.
Anna wrapped her other hand around her warm cup of hot chocolate, bringing the cup to her lips and taking a sip as she leaned up against the frame of Emily's old bedroom that looked horribly empty—everything had been taken out and shipped off to Emily's new house three hours away. She pursed her lips and furrowed her eyebrows, her eyes scanning the empty walls and barren floor. "Can't believe she's actually gone," she whispered and glanced over her shoulder at Shannon who was standing behind her, her hands wrapped around a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream.
"She moved out a week ago, Anna. I miss her too, but it's time to move on, don't you think?" Shannon questioned and rested her cheek against Anna's shoulder, tilting her head back slightly to look at the brunette. "We'll go see her sometime, alright? I'll drop us through a portal right in her living room, cool?"
Anna nodded and leaned forward, grabbing the doorknob and closing the door to her best friend's old room. "We should definitely find a new roommate though. The rent is pretty expensive in this place," she said and turned so she was facing Shannon, pressing her back up against the bedroom door.
"What about Iris? You two are pals now, aren't you?" Shannon questioned and began walking down the hall, causing Anna to chase after her, being careful not to spill her fresh cup of hot chocolate.
"She lives with Eddie, Shan," Anna replied and cleared her throat once she took another sip of her hot beverage. "And besides, we aren't really that close. We've only chatted and went out for coffee a couple times."
"Sounds like you're dating her," Shannon teased and set her hot chocolate down on the dining room table, digging through the pocket of her cardigan to grab her ringing phone. "Oh, it's Cisco!" She exclaimed happily and brought the phone to her ear once she answered the call. "Hi, baby," her eyebrows furrowed and she rolled her eyes. "This is about work, isn't it? You didn't call to have a conversation, huh?"
"We'll be there in a second, Cisco!" Anna called out and put her cup down next to Shannon's. She grabbed her friend's torso tightly in her arms and began running, dashing down the streets of Central City quickly.
