A/N: This is my own version of Flashpoint. I am new to the community and new to the world of writing fanfiction though I have read many.

Barry POV

Barry jolted awake. His head is pounding and is breathless. He looks around frantically trying to figure out where he is. He closed his eyes to try and calm down. Where am I?! Then he remembered. He travelled back in time to fight Eobard Thawne and save his mom. But that doesn't explain where he is. He looked around the room again. The room looked strange and yet familiar at the same time. Like he's been there before but he can't quite remember when. He was about to get out when the door suddenly burst open.

"Oh my God! Seriously? Are you kidding me? WHY ARE YOU STILL IN BED?!" yelled a girl, with brown hair, hazel eyes and looked just a few years younger than him. He feels like he knows her yet he's sure he's never even seen her before.

"Uhh… excuse me?" Barry asked, clearly confused.

"You're supposed to take me to S.T.A.R. Labs in half an hour and you're still in bed" she said after she walked over and sat on his bed. He is racking his brain to try and remember if anything else happened after he saved his mom to no avail. By the time he looked at her, she was no longer on the bed but on the side of the room, picking up clothes from the floor.

"I can't believe you're doing this to me. You promised you would take me. I washed the dishes for a week just so you would take me! Can you please get up and put some clothes on!" she yelled as she threw some clothes at him. One of the shirts that she threw hit a picture frame that was sitting on his bedside table and toppled it over. Barry bent over to pick it up and saw himself smiling happily next to her with his arm around her.

"Uhh… are you my girlfriend?" he asked shyly but almost regretted it after he saw the look on her face.

"Eww no! Are you high? Because if you are, I'm gonna have to tell mom and dad"

"Wait.. what… I'm not on drugs!" Barry exclaimed. He is more confused than ever.

"Okay you know what? I'm going to play this little stupid game of yours because I know it'll be the only way I'll get you out of bed and in the shower" she said exasperated. "I'm Gemma Louise Allen. I am your dearest sister and I'm going to be so mad at you if you don't get up now and get ready and take me to S.T.A.R. Labs. We only have 25 minutes left. Please don't do this to me." Before Barry could even give her a reply, she was already out the door and looking deflated.

Barry got up from his bed and started pacing back and forth. Sister? He didn't have a sister. Did he? What was happening to him? He wanted to sit down and think this through but he felt a pang of guilt after he remembered the look she gave him when she left the room. He had let her down and he didn't like this feeling. He decided that he will go through with what she needs first and deal with his issues later. Just then, he realised he hadn't even checked if he still had his powers. He closed his eyes and with one swift movement, he was in the shower already. Yes! At least he's still got his powers.

While he was in the shower, another realisation dawned on him. Gemma said that if he was on drugs then she was going to have to tell mom and dad. Mom and Dad… MOM AND DAD?! He used his speed to get ready in no time and was about to open the door but hesitated. Barry was nervous. Did it really work? Did I really save my mom? And my dad? He was scared to find out but he remembered his promise that he wouldn't let Gemma down today so he went downstairs to find out.

When he reached the bottom step, he saw Gemma standing by the fireplace, and next to her were the two people he had wanted to see the most. He stood there just staring at them, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Mom? Dad?"

Gemma POV

When she heard his footsteps reach the landing, she turned around to see Barry standing there, in shock, at the sight of them.

"Mom? Dad?" he said barely a whisper to them

Mom walked up to him and gave him a hug. "Hey Barry" she said as she smiled at him.

"Hey Slugger!"

"Dad…" Barry said as he ran up to hug dad.

"I told you he was acting weird." Gemma wasn't sure what was going on with her brother but at least she's glad that he's finally gotten himself ready and can now take her to S.T.A.R. Labs. She has an interview there today and it is her dream to work there. Barry has known this for a long time and has helped her with her studies and even offered to take her there for her interview but she wasn't sure what was going on with him today. He seems different and out of place. She was starting to get worried. But she'll have to sort that out tonight. "Can we please go now?" she asked Barry impatiently. "Yes. Let's go." They said bye to their parents and headed out the door.

Barry POV

On the way to the car, Barry noticed Gemma go straight to the passenger seat so he then realised that he would have to drive. He started to panic as in the other timeline, he didn't know how to drive. Well…. Here goes nothing. He was able to start the car safely and started to make their way to S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry looked around while he was driving and noticed that nothing has much changed and he was glad. Maybe he hadn't changed much of the timeline after all. He was particularly anxious to see Cisco and Caitlin. Would they recognise him? Would they know what is happening? He had so many questions running through his head when he noticed that his sister hasn't said a word since the car ride.

"Are you okay Gemma?" he asked. She looked at him strangely for a while before she answered.

"I should ask you if you're okay. You've been acting weird all morning and you haven't called me Gemma since I told your high school girlfriend Becky Cooper that you didn't like her anymore and then told Iris that you were in love with her."

"You did what?! What… Why would you do that?!" he gaped at her.

"Well you were too chicken to do it." He laughed and shook his head. Trust him to be exactly the same in this timeline. Same shy self that would never admit his feelings to the person he truly loves.

"Okay so if I don't call you Gemma, then what do I call you normally?"

"You call me Lou. Always" she said pinching the bridge of her nose. "Barry, I love you and I'm really worried about you. I am. But you know that this is the most important day of my life and I don't know why you're making this hard for me?" His heart broke as she said that. He's been acting selfish all morning as he was trying to figure out what was happening to him that he didn't even stop to realise how his actions will affect other people's lives in this timeline. He looked at her and could see how down she was. How can I make this right? He thought for a moment and decided that he will be less selfish at least till tonight. He'll have to go through today and not assume anything and try not to let anyone else down. But he needs help. Maybe if he told her a bit about what is happening then maybe she can help him.

"I'm sorry Lou. It's just… something has happened. I didn't mean to bring you into the middle of it, especially today. So I promise I'll be on my best behaviour and we'll talk about it tonight. Okay? For now, you just relax there and think about your interview. We're almost there" he said smiling at her.

"Okay" she said finally smiling back at him. As they approached their destination, he noticed how grand S.T.A.R. Labs looked in this timeline. Maybe the particle accelerator hasn't exploded yet?

"We're here! Just pull in to the car park and I'll get out to meet the interviewers there by the door" she said unable to keep still in her chair. He could tell she was excited for this. "I'll walk you to your interviewers and wish you luck" Barry beamed at her. She just nodded at him. As they parked the car and started approaching the two interviewers, Barry started to realise that they looked familiar.

"Cisco? Caitlin?"
