Chapter 2 - Mom's death

"Wally help, Wally help!" Linda screamed as she was being strangled by a man that purple lightning was crackling from his purple suit. "A speedster, leave my mom alone, you monster." Eric screamed as he moved close to his mom.

"Eric, stay back. Don't let him hurt you." Linda warned eric as the speedster tightened his grip around her neck.

Wally came down the stairs with his gun in his hand and said, "Your hands in the air, step away for her." The speedster turned back and said, "What if i don't?" The speedster asked.

"Then you will be judged in the afterlife." Wally said as he shot the speedster. Before the bullet reached him, the bullet had turned into dust and the speedster vanished.

Wally ran to Linda and held her in his arms and asked, "Are you okay?" Linda replied saying, "I'm fine."

Wally raised her up and they both walked towards Eric, but before they reached him, a dagger pierced through Linda's heart.

"No!, mom" Eric screamed as he ran towards his mom. The dagger flew back into the hands of the speedster from before.

Wally lied Linda on the floor slowly and shot the speedster with anger, "You killed her!" Wally screamed in anger.

"This is just the beginning, this world will know my name, the Zoom!" The speedster said as he dashed outside the house.

Eric cried softly on the floor, "Mom, please don't die." Linda talked as her voice skipped, "Eric, always remember that i love you. Remember justice not vengeance."

6 years later

The adult version of Eric ran through the empty hallways, he panted as he neared his physics class.

"Mr west, you're late again." Sebastian Ollins, the physics teacher said as Eric entered the classroom.

"I'm really sorry, but Einstein said time was relative, my last class was really choking and tiring." Eric said.

"But Einstein made all that law by being punctual to class. Mr West, if this repeat itself, you will be called into the principal office." Mr Ollins said eying Eric wearily.

"Sorry sir" Eric as he sat in his seat, ever since his mom died, he never has been the same. But that all stopped when his best friend, Nora Allen, that right the daughter of Berry Allen and Iris west-Allen. Yeah, Iris is one of Wally, Eric's dad cousins.

Nora counseled him and spent every minutes of their Elementary school together, soon Eric was back in his old self, happy and curious to know more. But deep down, he had a plan to find the speedster killed his mom and eliminate him.

"As you all know that tonight is when Mercury labs is going to active the collider, the multibillion dollars machine that will be a bridge through the multiverse." Mr Ollins said turning on the projector which showed the image of the collider

"Who knows maybe tomorrow, maybe the world would be advanced in technology and other things than now. So your next project, will be writing a journal about how the collider changed your everyday lives. Class dismissed!" Mr Ollins said as the bell rung signalling the end of the day.
