Chapter 1: A New Begining
This whole story takes place in an alternate timeline in which Eddie Thawne killed Eobard with the pistol instead of taking his own life.
Caitlin's POV:
We were in the cortex when Barry returned but the portal had disrupted the cameras that we had in the particle accelerator so we were blind. The only way of knowing what is going on down there was Barry's communication device.
We heard from Barry's comm "Just so we're clear, after I kill you, I'm going to kill them. And then I'm going to kill your father. I always win… Flash"
We all heard a gunshot which surprised us.
"Eddie" Professor Stein said worried
"Eddie?!" Screamed Iris
"I'm fine Iris." Confirmed Eddie. Iris look relieved and we ran down to the particle accelerator. Iris ran to Eddie while I ran to Cisco to help him up. We both ran over to Barry to see if he's okay.
"Barry! Are you alright?" I asked
"I'm fine Cait" Reassured Barry
"I hate to rain on this parade but we have a problem. You might want to return to the cortex… immediately." Professor Stein said worriedly.
Cisco and I got Barry on his feet and everyone made their way to the Cortex. As we arrived we all caught a glimpse of what the problem is.
"What is that?!" Cisco asked nervously
"That my friend, is a singularity… and it can't be stopped." Stein told us
"There has to be a way!" I said.
"What if Barry runs in the opposite way as the singularity just like a tornado?" Suggested Cisco.
"That might work" Said Stein
As Stein said that, Barry sped off towards the vortex.
"He'll be fine Cait" Ronnie assured me
Barry's POV
I arrived at the vortex and started to run in the opposite direction. It started to work but after a while it wasn't anymore
"Guys, it's not working" I said. I heard over the comms Professor Stein talking.
"I have another way that might work" Stein Said. "If we separate in the eye, the amount of energy that would be released should close the singularity."
"No Ronnie it's too dangerous" Caitlin said
"It's our only hope Ronald" Replied Stein
"Cait we have to try" Ronnie told her
I kept running but I could feel myself getting tired. I saw Firestorm fly up into the singularity.
"Ronnie, Professor"
"Take care of Cait for me" He said before ripping the splicer off. There was a massive explosion that sent me flying back down towards the city. I caught the professor and regained my balance by running down one of the buildings. I ran us back to the side of STAR Labs. I saw Caitlin run outside to us.
"I'm sorry Cait" I said before passing out.
A Couple Months Later
Barry's POV
"Hey Barry, you ready for Flash Day?" Cisco Asked me
"Yeah, it's just…" I replied
"Iris?"
"Yeah, i'm still trying to get over her"
"Hey, how about you, me, and Caitlin go grab drink after Flash day"
"I'm in, do you know where she is?"
"I think she's in the lounge"
I sped off to the Lounge only to see Caitlin crying with her head in her hands.
"Cait what's wrong" I asked her
I sat down next to her
"It's been two months since Ronnie's death" She said
"Come here" I Said
Caitlin comes in for a hug and we proceed to hug for minutes while Caitlin continues to cry.
