The Dark Speedster

Chapter1

Barry Allen futilely struggled, desperately tugging at the arm that were currently depriving him of breath. Jay Garrick otherwise known as zoom had earlier kidnapped Wally West and requested that if they ever wanted to see him again, with his parts and pieces together the Flash had to surrender his speed. Barry with nothing else to do had agreed to the psychopathic megloamaniacs terms.

But Zoom like all egoistic bad guys had not been satisfied with the exchange.

Zoom smirked as he absorbed the speed of the scarlet speedster.

He let out an involuntary scream as the felt the speed merge with his cell, healing him and making him nigh omnipotent.

With the speed perfectly assimilated into his body, Zoom sped to the man who had thought he could deprive him of such power, who had thought he could use his mother against him and who deludingly thought he could kill zoom, him a god.

With godlike speed he grabbed Barry Allen by the neck and with as much force as he could muster slammed him into the wall with one hand.

Zoom let out a satisfied sigh as he heard the ribs of the former speedster break as his body impacted in the wall.

The former speedster managed to cough out blood and made a good imitation of a fish out of water much to the amusement of zoom.

Zoom wanted Barry Allen to die, but he also wanted the former speedster to suffer as much as possible before he deemed it felicitous to end his pitiful existence.

"Die now flash, your family would join you soon though" Zoom whispered in a way that only the former scarlet speedster could hear "We wouldn't want you to be lonely now would we" Zoom curled his lip up in amusement as the Barry tried desperately to call on the speed force, only to get a tiny sparkle of scarlet electricity in his eyes.

"Goodbye, Flaasshh"

Zoom's grip around Barry's neck tightened, ready to end the life and legacy of the flash forever.

"Jay"

But he was stopped though. By someone's voice, Caitlin's voice.

"...if you have any humanity left please, let him go" Caitlin's pleading voice brought out an emotion which Jay was sure he had never had in his life.

Was it compassion, Zoom wasn't sure but what he was sure of though was he hated the way she sounded sad and he wanted no, needed to make her feel better.

So with mickle reluctance Zoom threw the body of the speedster on the opposite wall, causing the former speedster to let out a cry of pain as his damaged ribs hit the wall.

"Anything for you Caitlin" Zoom said, but inwardly he was fuming. How could she take his side, why did everyone always take the side of the pathetic morons who thought saving lives was a good pastime.

But most importantly how could he spare the life of someone who was also a speedster, nonetheless, one who could match his speed. The Flash needed to die and he just got an idea on how to do that and keep his words to Caitlin at the same time.

With a flash of blue lightening Zoom was out of star lab taking along the broken body of Barry Allen.

Immediately after Zoom vanished, residents in S.T.A.R labs tried to find if they could track Barry.

"Caitlin, can you find him" Joe West's worried voice cut through the tense atmosphere in S.T.A.R labs.

He felt so helpless, he had stood shaking in his boots while Zoom manhandled and took his son away from him.

He had watched as he fought against Zoom while he was locked safely in a room, watched as Barry surrendered his speed to save his son, and again watched as the maniac almost strangled Barry to death after he had given up his speed.

'But I'm done watching now though' Detective West thought, his eyes sparking with fury.

Once Caitlin told him were Zoom had taken his son, he was going to storm into were the psychopath was hiding and take his son away even if it killed him.

"I can't find him" Caitlin devastated voice crushed all hope everyone in star labs had of rescuing Barry

Barry's suit had been wired by Cisco with health sensors, if they couldn't find him at least they could find out if he was alright.

"It's almost like he is..." Caitlin stopped talking and immediately began sobbing as the real reason she wasn't able to find Barry dawned her.

Right now the telemetry showed red.

"Like he is what Caitlin" Iris spoke for the first time since Zoom had left the lab, inwardly dreading the reply she would recieve.

"Dead, like he is dead" Dr Wells replied as he came out from the room which he rushed into immediately Zoom went away with Barry. A backpack was on his back and firmly grasped in his hands was his silver gun.

Iris sobbed as she heard that and her father wrapped his arms around her to comfort her.

"You seem oddly uncaring about that, don't you Dr Wells" Cisco's angry voice stopped Dr Wells on his way towards the exit of star labs.

With a frustrated sigh he turned and faced the occupants of S.T.A.R labs. He understood that humans sometimes lashed out angrily at innocent bystanders when they were sad and frustrated, but he hardly thought now was the time. There being a psychopathic speedster on the loose and all.

"There is a possibility that Barry is alive and has been taken prisoner by Zoom to earth two..."

He wanted to tell them how, Zoom taking Barry prisoner was really worse than killing him. But the way their eyes sparkled with hope made him turn his conversation in another direction.

"We however are expendable, With the exception of Dr Caitlin of course and right now I would rather make sure Jesse is safe than moan and groan with you lot"

Having said his piece Harrison Wells moved out to find his daughter. Wondering if it was actually a good idea to tell them there was a chance of finding Barry in earth-2. They couldn't be stupid enough to go there, right.

Zoom dumped the body of Barry on the table on which two men with jet black hair were playing cards.

The two gamblers Jumped from their sits in fright and frightfully fumbled to find their guns. The taller of the two gamblers though was quicker and unleashed a rain of bullets with his sub machine gun on the speedster garbed in blue.

Zoom looked apathetically at the incoming bullets which to him were coming to him in slow motion. He knew their fright was well deserved as he had appeared from no where and the man's quick reflex was laudable.

'But...'

With speed faster than that of light, zoom sped in front of the man who shot at him and twisted his head backward killing him instantly.

'...he attacked me and anyone who does that dies'

The man's partner dropped his gun in fright and foolishly tried to outrun a man who he had just witnessed run faster than light.

"Zack Miler"

Zoom's demonic sounding voice was enough to halt the man in his tracks. The man named Zack turned immediately and started kowtowing in the direction he heard zooms voice, too frightened to look at him.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you master. I'm sorry please don't kill me" The six foot tall man with a more intimidating physique than Zoom pathetically begged his head touching the floor. He would have mentioned he had a family that was depending on him, but he knew Zoom would just see them as more people to kill rather than a reason to spare his life.

"Cass is dead. You are in charge now"

Cass and Zack were two metahuman's, which zoom had arranged to stay in earth-1 to search for potential metahumans willing to bend to his will. They also ran an underground fighting organization, which was mostly how they found metahumans.

"Y-Yes of course thank you. I wouldn't disappoint. I promise" Zack replied, finally looking up now that he knew his life was no longer in peril.

"You probably shouldn't, because if you do" Zoom said as he gazed at the prone form on the floor whose head he had earlier twisted."your death would be much more agonizing than Cass's"

Zack gulped fearfully and let out a startled gasp as zoom flashed infront of him with the body of the man he had dumped earlier on the table he and his now deceased partner were playing cards on.

"But him"

Zoom rose the head of Barry Allen up with his hair showing his bloodied face to Zack.

"I want him to suffer. Pit him in as much fights as possible, make him bleed and beg for mercy on a daily basis, feed him with only enough food required for his survival and when he is completely broken and pleads for death, grant him that mercy"

Zack was completely petrified at the sadistic tone in which zoom explained what he wanted done and only managed to nod his head in acknowledgement.

Zoom rose Barry's head up so they see eye to eye.

"Enjoy your stay Flash" Zoom said with a smirk.

Barry Allen looked at the dark voids that were Zooms eyes and he knew there was no way he was going to come out of this alive but there was no he was going let zoom have the last laugh. So he spat into the blue speedsters eyes eliciting a gasp from Zack.

"You really shouldn't have done that Allen"

In a flash of blue, Zoom disappeared only to appear again seconds later with the body Henry Allen.

"Barry!?".

"Dad!", Barry replied as he crawled closer to his Dad only to stop when Zoom suddenly appeared behind his dad and twisted his head.

With an enraged roar Barry stood with the little strength he had left, ignoring the pain he felt, ran at Zoom with his fists poised to hit him.

Zoom sped infront of Barry and hit him on his head knocking him unconscious instantly.

"Dispose of the bodies and lock the other one up. Do not fail me"

With that zoom disappeared in a flash of blue lightening.

Barry was woken up by the feel of water being splashed on his body. He hastily stood on his feet and tried to punch the unknown assilant.

The assailant summarily caught his fist, twisted his arm to his back and then pushed him down to his knees.

"You aren't going to last a day here if that's how you fight"

The assailant which Barry could now identify as female due to her voice told him, releasing her grip on his arm much to Barry's immense relief.

Barry weakly stood up and faced the female with black hair who had earlier had him at her mercy.

"C-Can you teach me how to survive"

Barry asked the female who he had known now for the total of five minutes. He couldn't die here, not now. Not before he killed Zoom, and if this female could help him survive to be able to get his vengeance, he would grovel if need be.

The dark haired female looked intently at the battered form of the man infront of her. As if seeing what she wanted, she want to the edge of the cell procuring two bloodied metal poles which she had used to kill her last annoying cellmate.

Barry took a frightened step back and she came towards him with with two bloody poles, but stopped moving when he saw the amused smile on her lips. He was already embarrassed by how easily she had subdued him earlier, so he wasn't going to play a fool now.

"Catch"

Barry clumsily tried to catch the pole which she threw at him with one hand. The pole was much heavier than he deduced, so immediately he caught it he lost it grip on it making a clank sound as it hit the ground.

"What's this for" Barry asked as he picked the metal from the floor.

"You said you wanted to learn how to survive right" The dark haired female asked as she swung the metal rod expertly on her right arm. "Well, I have decided to help you".

"Barry Allen".

"Nyassa Al Ghul".

One Year Later

Barry Allen tightened his grip on the bloodied five foot long katana he was currently holding. His emotionless gaze on the bloodied body of the metahuman he was currently facing.

The metahuman had the ability to regenerate at rapid rates. He had even cut off the man head earlier, only for another one to grow in its place.

The only way he could take down this guy was to completely absorb his powers. An ability he had discovered he had when facing another metahuman who could control electricity about seven months earlier. An ability which had slowly helped him gain his speed again, the only side effect was the turning of his once scarlet electricity black.

The metahuman dashed in front of him and swung his sickle horizontally at him.

Barry bent backwards dodging the blade of the sickle with his left hand shooting up to catch the man's hand that had the sickle in it.

The metahuman tried to use his fist but Barry swept the man's legs from the floor making him fall on his back.

Without wasting time Barry kept the semicircular arc of the double bladed sickle round the neck of the man with his left arm and used his katana on his right to cut off the man's left hand.

With the metahuman completely neutralized, Barry kept his left hand on the man's forehead and black lightening was immediately absorbed into it.

The feel of the metahumans powers flowing into him was intoxicating and he had fought with himself countless times to stop himself from utterly annihilating all metahumans around him and absorbing their powers.

Having completely absorbed the metahuman's power, Barry stood up and prepared to end the man's life.

If they found out he could absorb metahuman's powers, Barry wasn't sure he would survive an attack from more than twenty metahumans speed of light or not.

"I'm sorry" Barry whispered as he stabbed the man in the heart with his sword.

Closing the man's eyes, Barry turned and headed into his cell. His angry gaze enough to make the guards give him a wide berth.

He was tired of this place and now that he had gained enough speed to travel back in time, he wasn't going to stay anymore.

'Zoom, I'm coming for you'.

"Are sure it wouldn't be harmful for me to follow you on your trip back in time" Nyassa asked the speedster in the cell he and her were sharing. She had stopped sounding and looking at him disbelieving anytime he told her he could do something which was logically impossible when he had right in front of her passed through a solid wall.

"of course, if my calculations are accurate the worse that would happen to you would be just the loss of you arm or legs" Barry replied as he tied his hair which had grown in a ponytail.

"Just my arm or leg?" Nyassa asked in a dangerously low voice, as she picked her metal rod.

"O-Of course I wouldn't allow that to happen" Barry replied back. His voice apologetic and terrified at the same time.

"Good" Nyassa replied, satisfied with his answer.

Over the year Nyassa and Barry had developed a bond of sorts and he knew just how sadistic she could be. She had after all been raised by a demon.

"And how exactly are we going to escape the multitude of metahumans out there" she asked the speedster.

Barry put his right arm out and she grabbed it without hesitation. After spending months with him she had come to completely trust him.

With his left hand Barry strapped his sword on his back, a sword he was going to use to take off Zoom's head and carried Nyassa bridal style.

Finally Barry answered her question as black lightening erratically moved round his body.

"My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive"

And with a flash of black lightening, accompanied by a sonic boom he disappeared.
