A/N: Hi, sorry for such a short first chapter. I would class it as more of a prologue then a chapter but obviously that's not an option! I will try and update tomorrow but if I don't it will defiantly be the day after! I hope you will enjoy! (By the way, I live in England so timing will probably be different if you live in America!)
The way they looked at him was horrible. Their eyes were full of hatred and evil and they stared at him as if he was some kind of monster. "You've lost human!" said John, his best friend and mentor. Flash felt as if someone had just stabbed him in the heart when he said that because John was like a father to him. The speedster soon came back to reality when he realised that Superman was almost close enough to kill him. "Maybe your right" Flash whispered. "Maybe it is hopeless," he said, getting louder. "But as Grammy Flash used to always say, why curse the dark when you can light up a seven hundred thousand watt candle!" Flash pulled the leaver on the control panel and shielded his eyes as the huge light lit up and caused the evil to be pulled out of the leaguers. It hurt him to see the others go through so much pain but he knew it was for the best. They fell to the floor and all the crystals got pulled out of them. Flash went straight to Green Lantern to help him up. "Is everyone okay?" he asked. "I'll be seeing spots for a year," stated Hawkgirl, which made Flash feel worse. He forgot about it quickly when he remembered what was happening to the sun. "If you're lucky, we've got a situation," he told Hawkgirl and the others.
Up on the main bridge, Flash showed them the black hole. "How can we stop it?" Superman asked in his strong, confident voice. "There is one possibility" said Jonn, who was typing something on one of the computers. "To halt the process we would need to create an Einstein Rosen Bridge to drain off the infecting anti-fusion matter" Jonn told them. Flash knew exactly what he meant but he knows that he has to play the dumb clown so asks: "Create a what to do what?". Everyone looks at him in that horrible look of pity. "Create a wormhole to suck away the bad stuff!" said Hawkgirl with a hint of annoyance. "Oh" Flash said. Sometimes he really wants to show them that he is smart and that he does understand. "We can use the javelin, it has a worm hole generator for inter-stellar travel," Green lantern tells them. "Err, more bad news" Flash says, remembering the damage to the Javelin.
Everyone heads to the Javelin to access the damage. Flash could hear them all talking but he wasn't listening. He was too busy thinking about how it was all his fault that the sun was being torn apart. He could've stopped the others when they were being controlled by that black crystal but he didn't. He didn't want to hurt them. But now the whole solar system is at high risk of being ripped apart and was all because of him and his conscious. Suddenly he heard Green Lantern say something about him taking the generator to the sun. "Excuse me?" asked the scarlet speedster. Surely that would kill me he wondered to himself. "I'll use my ring to give you a running start, our combined speeds might be enough to get the generator to open a wormhole!" Green Lantern explained. That sounded dangerous. Flash didn't like dangerous. "That's crazy!" he exclaimed. Green Lantern turned to him, crossed his arms and said "You've got a better idea?". Flash sighed. He wasn't going to be able to worm himself out of that one.
Here they were, him and GL flying out into space. The world would soon be in his hands. "According to Jonn's calculations, the wormhole has to open exactly seven and a half minutes into the run, any earlier and it will be too far away from the sun to have any effect. Any later and you risk tearing the sun apart with the wormhole! Got it?" John told him. That was a lot to ask for. Well the best he could do was try his best. "No pressure, huh!" he replied to Green Lantern. "Let's get this cosmic treadmill rolling!" he exclaimed. Green Lantern threw him as far as he could. "Bring home the gold hotshot" he whispered.
This was it. It was all on him. He had to time this perfectly or the sun and planets (including earth!) will be destroyed. He had to do this. The speedster ran. He ran faster and faster. He must have reached light speed by now he thought to himself. Only a few seconds to go. A moment later Flash leaped into the air and threw the generator with all his might. There was a massive flash of light and Flash was knocked unconscious.
Back at the watchtower Flash lay limp and lifeless in the medical bay. He had been in a coma for three weeks and everyone was worried about him. Green Lantern sat next to his bed. He studied Flash's face. He needed him to just wake up and say something, even if it was something like "This is all your fault!" or "I hate you!". He leaned forward and pulled off Flash's mask. It revealed a handsome face of a young red head. 'Why did this happen?' Green Lantern asked himself for the thousandth time. Wally's just an over excited and hyper-active kid who's now lying in a hospital bed without any sign of movement. Green lantern thought back to when Flash had saved the day three weeks ago. He remembered seeing the flash of light and then the amazing wormhole. Then he remembered seeing the Flash's body just floating with no sign of life. He remembered Hawkgirl's worried voice asking if he was alright and him saying he would be fine. He was wrong. The Flash was not fine.
Hope you enjoyed!
