7 Meta Ability (3)
"Dude, lightning gave me abs!" I shouted, standing in front of the mirror, shirtless...
"I can see that, but don't you think you are, enjoying yourself too much?" said Ryuk.
"If all I do is train and create things, the viewers will get bored."
"You are right about that."
After copying my uncle's meta-ability, I was in a coma for God knows how long! However, by the looks of it, Alfred had managed to calm down my uncle at that time. Although he might have wiped out the Smith family, which means the future is still the same.

The Speed Force is a cosmic energy field and force based around velocity and movement and one of the Seven Forces of the Universe. It is the representation of reality in motion, being the very cosmic force that pushes space and time forward. It grants all speedsters their power. It is stated that, at its core, the Speed Force is equivalent to time itself, describing it as existence moving through reality, kinetic energy, and temporal energy.

"That is a big description... looks like someone is a fanboy." Ryuk laughed mockingly.
"I was fourteen years old when I started writing this novel. What do you expect?"
"Test it out."
"Oh, I am dying to test it."
I quickly put on a shirt and walked towards the door. Just as I was about to open it, the door was opened from the other side.
"Ra-Ray? Yo-You woke up!" It was my uncle who opened the door. Just as he saw me, he dropped to his knees and hugged me tightly. "I thought I lost you, kid! I thought I lost another one!"
I expected that I knew that feeling the feeling of losing someone close to you. It is painful.
"Did you see who shot that lightning bolt? How were you still fine after getting hit by a lightning bolt?" Uncle looked me in the eyes and asked me.
"I think it came from the sky? And... I think I awakened." I answered.
"You awakened after getting struck by a lightning bolt?"
"I think so?"
"I just do not know if I should laugh or cry. Who the fuck awakens like that?"
"I think it was the Speed Force." I heard a familiar voice beside Uncle. It was Alfred.
"Speed Force?" asked Uncle, constantly turning his head towards me and Alfred.
"Yes"
"You mean The Speed Force?"
"Yes."
"The Speed-"
"Yes," Alfred shouted.
Uncle stopped turning his head and asked, "But why would The Speed Force do something like this?"
"In my opinion, The Speed Force chose Young master, Ray, as its avatar."
"Like our Ancestor whose name I keep forgetting."
"Yes, exactly like Bartholomew Henry Allen or Barry Allen."
"Yeah, that... Anyways do you wanna test it out?"
"Yes!" I said excitedly.
'I am glad that you woke up...'

Training Ground in the Basement
--------------
The training ground had many instruments, lightning conductors, a treadmill covered by bulletproof glass at the corner with a mic on a desk outside it, an open area, a VR capsule, and a... portal? I am sure that there wasn't a portal here.
"I like the design of this suit." I wore a silver suit with little black lightning bolts on my ears. There was one hole in the mouth part and two tinted glasses in the eyes part of the suit.
"This will be your training uniform. This was the one I used as a kid. Alfred was the one who designed it." Uncle pointed at the suit.
"I learned it from a friend named Cisco Ramon. He was a great scientist and an excellent designer. My suits are nothing compared to his." Alfred said humbly.
I stood on the Running Mild, waiting for my uncle's signal.
"Ready?" My uncle looked at me through the bulletproof glass surrounding me.
"Ready," I answered.
The Running Mild started to speed up. I ran with it.
"How do I activate my ability?!" I shouted.
"Feel the lightning running through your body. Feel the wind around you. Push the lightning to your veins. Feel like your surroundings are slowing down. Now run with all your strength!" Uncle shouted at the mic.
"How am I supposed to do that?!" I questioned.
"Young master, you need to concentrate first! Remember the feeling when you got struck by lightning nine months ago? When those streaks of lightning ran through your body? Remember it! Feel the lightning running through your body. Feel the wind around you. Now run at your top speed!" Alfred shouted at the mic.
I closed my eyes and tried to remember that feeling. I felt the lightning running through my veins. I felt the breeze of wind running past my ears. I felt the wind around me slow down. I opened my eyes, and everything around me stopped moving. The feeling had only lasted a while before I found myself on the ground.
"Young master, are you alright?" Alfred asked through the glass.
"Yeah, I am fine," I answered.
"Do you think you can do that one more time?"
"Yes."
"Alright then, let's try this again. You remember what I said, right?"
"Yeah, I think I can do it this time." I stood on the treadmill again, this time determined to activate my ability. I closed my eyes and remembered the feeling when I activated my ability. Lightning streaks ran through my body, pumping my heart faster.
"Start the treadmill, Alfred." Uncle commanded.
Alfred started the treadmill. I started running again. However, something was different this time. This time I was getting faster and faster along with the treadmill. I could finally feel the lightning. I had successfully activated my power!
"I did it-Waaaaaaah!"
I fell... again.
