Chapter 1
Nothing in Barry's life has ever been easy for him; he expected nothing less than chaos. Although, Barry would often ask himself, if he could go back, would he change anything; if he knew what would happen to him the day the particle accelerator exploded, would he try to avoid it. Barry often told himself that he would never change what happened to him in a million years. Barry would thought about the good people he met and the friends he made and realized that he couldn't imagine life without them.
Barry walked around the cortex of Star Labs aimlessly, kicking the dirt with the tip of his shoe, trying to entertain himself for the time being. It
was a slow day, with nothing really exciting happening and Barry started to get bored. Barry found his way in front of where his suit was displayed and turned to look at Cisco and Jay who was sitting at the computer, both in deep thought; then over at Caitlin who was in the medical bay cleaning her utensils.
"Guys, you know the last thing I want is some psycho meta terrorizing the city but I really need something to do."
Barry complained.
"How about you go be a forensic scientist, seems like you'd be good at it."
Harry barked back.
"Damn, who broke your glasses?"
Cisco sarcastically asked. At that moment the meta human alert went off which brought both Jay and Caitlin into the cortex.
"Central city's bank truck just got robbed, heading down Queen Avenue."
Cisco announced.
"Looks like your wish came true Allen."
Harry said as soon as Barry quickly placed on his suit and flash out of there, causing a bunch of important paper that was neatly organized to fly into the air.
"You guys should buy some paper weights."
Jay said after a moment of silence, with no hint of playfulness in his voice.
"Oh you don't say!"
Cisco barked back.
Barry saw the robbers on their motorcycles going what seemed like 100 mph with duffle bags filled with the stolen money. They were heading towards central park which on a Saturday would be totally filled with children and families. Barry then noticed that there were gunshot holes in the windshields of the police cars that were chasing them which boiled Barry's blood because Patty could easily be the one in those cars. Barry sped up and tackled both of the robbers at the same time which caused their bikes to run straight into a brick wall of a near by building. Barry stood over the robbers with his arms folded and a smug smile.
"Nobody goes over the speed limit but me."
"Remind me to work on better punchlines with you."
Cisco said through the ear piece in Barry's suit. Barry smirked and rolled his eyes at Cisco's comment but decided to let it go.
The police came to cuff the robbers and took the bag of money into custody as Patty stepped out of the second cop car to check out the scene. Barry would have flashed away by then but her beauty caught him off guard. Barry felt strange seeing her there and her not having a clue who he really was. Barry has been debating with himself back and forth on whether he should tell Patty the truth about him. Even though it was only their 5th date, which was set for that night, Barry knew that Patty was the one. At that moment Barry made a silent promise to himself that he would tell Patty the truth, and soon...Just not right now. Breaking out of thought, Barry flashed out of there before Patty was able to acknowledge him.
