It begins to get dark and I sit in the cell anxiously, pretending to be sleep. I keep one of my eyes open to check if everyone is asleep. I check to see if the security cameras are off. Everything is off. My eyes glow red and yellow as I run out of the cell. I nearly make it to the exit. I get past the entrance of the prison and stand in front. I rapidly breathe letting off the steam.

"That was easier than I was expecting," I tell myself.

I feel something hit me in the back and electrocute me. I fall to the ground and everything goes black.

"Get him to my lab," I hear a voice say.

My eyes open and I wake up strapped to a desk. I look around and see test tubes and computers all over the room. There are 3 men in the room strapping my feet to the table.

"Where did I just end up?" I ask myself.

An Asian-looking man wearing a lab coat enters the room. He looks young, about college-aged.

"Ah you're wake, Mr. Allen! Good to have you join us! We were just preparing for our research of your body."

"Who the hell are you?!" I yell.

"I am Dr. Hunter Zolomon. I am the leading scientist at Iron Heights Penitentiary. You, Mr. Allen have the honor to be my lab rat."

I struggle to break free my restraints but they have me pinned down pretty tight.

"Don't try to escape! The more you wiggle the tighter the restraints become."

I stop struggling and lay my head down.

"So what do you want with me, Doc?"

"To see what your body is capable of. After we have found out we can use it for medical purposes and maybe even as a weapon against terrorism."

"Are you going to kill me?"

"No, of course not! Just hurt you a lot. Nothing personal of course!"

Dr. Zolomon pulls out a syringe and injects it with a green liquid.

"Just warning you that this is going to hurt a lot!" Dr. Zolomon says, chuckling.

He stands over me and prepares to inject me with the needle. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

"Let's see if this will work," I tell myself.

I feel my heartbeat slowing down as I mentally slow it to temporarily stop. The heart monitor on a nearby computer stops. My heart has temporarily stopped but I can still hear what is going on.

"What is going on? What happened to him?!" Dr. Zolomon yells.

"His heart stopped! He is going into cardiac arrest!" One of the other scientists says.

I feel them removing my restraints. Now is my chance. I open my eyes and grab Zolomon by the throat. I quickly get off the table and strap the scientist to the table. I inject him with the syringe.

"Let's see how you like it!" I say.

I turn around and see the group of scientists holding utensils as weapons.

"You guys really don't want to do this!" I say.

They don't budge. I sigh and smirk.

"Very well."

Lightning glows on me and I run around the group of scientists. I throw one of the scientists through a window while vibrating my hand through another scientist's chest. I face the last surviving scientist.

"Please don't kill me! I have a family! I was only doing my job!" The scientist cries out.

I stop and think for a moment. I don't want to destroy his family. I hold out my hand in front of him near his face. He flinched. When he opens his eyes I flick him against a wall. I look around to make sure no one else is in the room. I run into a locker and grab all of my clothes and stuff. I stare at a picture of Iris.

"I wish things could have been different," I say to myself.

I run out of the doors of Iron Heights and continue running until I reach the freeway.

"Now where I am going to go?" I think.

I look up and see a sign that reads, "Visit Keystone City! Only 25 miles away!"

"I will start fresh there then."

I begin running in the direction of Keystone City. Suddenly red lightning surrounds me and Eobard Thawne appears.

"Hey, Thawne!" I say.

Thawne smiles at me.

"Congratulations on freeing yourself, Allen! Now what's your plan?"

"I am heading to Keystone City."

"Interesting city to start a new life in. Why not Metropolis? Coast City?"

"I want to still be near my loved ones but not too close at the same time."

"Very well. I will keep in tabs with you."

Eobard runs off leaving a trail of red lightning behind. I continue running towards Keystone City ready to start my new life. I don't know what I am going to do.
