"The Queens of Justice: The Little Lady of Speed"

"And Runner Number 7 is LA's fastest lady-Roxanne "Miss Flash" West!"

The crowd in the stands went wild as a beautiful girl with her auburn hair in braids walked up to the starting line. Wally West sat in the stands with Bart and Thaddeus-Tad-looking down at his second cousin Michael's only daughter. She had been training for this race for months and her hard work was finally paying off. Wally had promised her that he'd come and watch her cross the finish line. And because he promised, Wally was going to watch the entire race. He brought Bart and Tad along so they wouldn't get too bored and drive Mr. Terrific up the wall.

"Roxi's gonna win." Bart said. "She's a West. She's gotta win."

"She has a 35 chance of winning, Bart." Tad told his original. "There are 20 runners total, 19 others for her to run against. Some have been training longer than her and some have more natural talent."

"That's true, Tad." Wally replied. "But you have to calculate in Roxi and how hard set she is on just crossing the finish line. Winning this race would put her at the pinnacle of that Young Racer Performance magazine's attention. She'd be a natural for the Olympics and a natural choice if she ever tried out for it. But, remember, Roxi's just going to try to finish this. If she wins it then she's the best and this'll prove it."

"But no matter how hard she tries, she'll never beat the Flash." A voice said behind them. The Speeding Trio looked back to see Clark Kent, Kara Kent and Conner Kent sitting behind them. "Am I right, Wally?"

"Hey, Clark. What are you 3 doing here?" Wally asked with a casual smile. "Doing something for the Planet?"

"Perry says this race is a big deal." Clark replied. "Lois wouldn't cover it. She said it wasn't worth her getting a sun burn."

"I came because I'm interning for a month." Kara told them.

"Ma an' Pa Kent said I ought to go out with them to keep Kara from flirting with all the guys." Conner said getting a smile from Bart and a smirk from Tad. Kara shot him a look with her hands on her hips. "Hey, someone's gotta keep you safe from your evil twin. You two can't pummel each other too well when you know what the other is thinking."

"Uncle Wally!" Roxi called up in to the stands. Wally turned around and smiled with a wave. Roxi waved back and gave him a thumbs up.

"Give it your all, Roxi!" Bart called down to her. She blew her family a kiss and got into a conversation with another racer.

"Oh, she's hot." Conner earned a slap upside the head. "Ow! Kara!"

"Watch Tower to Flash and Superman." Mr. Terrific said through Clark and Wally's ear pieces. "Batman and Elasticman need your help downtown. Robin, Batgirl and Nightwing are already there but they're also overwhelmed."

"I can't do that, Terrific." Wally responded. "The race I'm at-"

"I don't make the bad guys attack when they do, Flash." Mr. Terrific told Wally.

"But, I promised my-" Wally didn't get to finish.

"You're a hero, West! Suck it up and go help Batman!" Mr. Terrific yelled into Wally's earpiece. "NOW!"

Wally clenched his fist and then hit his knee in frustration. Before anyone could blink, Wally, Tad and Bart were gone. Clark, Conner and Kara were next. When Roxi looked up with a smile, her smile faded and her heart fell.

"Runners to your mark." The announcer said over the speakers. Roxi got into the stirrups, focusing on the race at hand.
