Barry Allen's early days as the Flash continue! Barry struggles to balance his new job as a hero with his internship at the crime lab.

Barry's anxiety kick-starts his powers, sending him phasing through objects with explosive results. Can Barry get a handle on his abilities and stop Tar Pit in his tracks, or will he be tarred and feathered out of Central City for good?
