Barbara's Secret Origin

Barbara Allen is the youngest NCPD (Natural City Police Dept) Detective at 22 years old. Her blonde hair, pretty face, and killer curves earned her the nickname "Barbie" during her time in the Academy. It likewise followed her to the 13th Precinct where she now worked. She joined the academy straight out of high school to follow in her late father's footsteps. He had been murdered when she was 16, possibly pursuing a dangerous case. She wanted to help others like her who have had family members or loved ones murdered. And perhaps she could uncover something about what her father had been looking into in the process.

It was six months into her time at the precinct that she was working late, filing a report about a bank robbery she was too late to stop. She had taken a bullet to the vest as the gang of robbers fled in a stolen truck that wasn't traceable. Instead of resting, she wanted to prove herself to her coworkers and stayed after they left in order to file her report. There was a forecast of a thunder storm that night, but Barbara didn't mid rain, and she loved lightning. That is, until it knocked out the power to the precinct.

Barbara went to the roof to get access to the breaker box (why it was on the roof is a mystery, old buildings and all). It was as she was tinkering with the box that a bolt of lightning chose to strike!

Ka-CHOW!!!!!! (You come up with a better onomatopoeia)

Barbara was thrown from the box amid an array of sparks and sizzling wires! Her clothes mostly singed and blackened. Her heart stopped. However, she wasn't dead.

An hour later, her eyes opened, and she bolted upright, breathing a deep gulp of air. She looked at her hands to see they were covered in black spot, and she looked down at the tattered and singed remains of her clothes. She looked around to see if anything or anyone was around to see her, but saw nothing.

As she stood, she became more aware of herself. She felt like her whole body was vibrating. She called herself and looked at her hands again. What she saw terrified and fascinated her. Her hands WERE vibrating! Moving faster than she could imagine. She looked further and saw her arms, chest, and the rest of her body vibrating. She was getting worried, and a little scared now. She closed her eyes and tried to calm down. She felt the vibrations stop, and she opened her eyes again. She looked at her hands, and saw they were fine. In fact, they weren't black anymore. Her eyes traveled the rest of her body, and saw there wasn't any soot, or clothes for that matter, on her body!

Seeing her nakedness, she covered herself instinctively and tried to figure out what to do. She lived a few blocks away and usually walked home from the precinct. So, she plotted out her course by going back inside the precinct and avoiding the security camera as best she could, she would make it to the street and head home as quickly as possible, since it didn't look like anyone would be out this time of the night.

Of course, things didn't go as planned. As she ran to get back inside the precinct, she barreled through the door, and was back at her desk within a second. She had to stop herself to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. Still covering, she went to move out the door, and found herself at the corner outside the precinct before she realized what happened. Then, she focused and was able to slowly walk along the street, but of course, she realized why take longer than she should? The longer she was outside, the larger the chance of someone finding her. So, she focused on running, and was inside her apartment in no time! She collapsed on her bed and fell asleep.
