AN: hey Guys this is a new story or well the beginning of one but this idea had been floating around my head for a little while and I have asked my younger cousin to design the Suit Corey will be wearing and yes this is a Grojband and the Flash crossover so yeah if you liked please do follow and favorite the story and if you would like some more please leave a review telling my you would like more also there will be some things that happened in my other Grojband stories so please go and read those they are called 'Grojband the life of Corey Riffin' and 'Corey Riffin and the dark lord' they are in order of which you should read but they are not in the same universe and a quote from Lex Luthor at the loading screen of the Injustice Gods among us games "I can say without a doubt that there are an infinite number of universes. some are just like our own... but for one or two significant events, exactly the same" so yeah this is a different universe to the Tv show of the flash but Exactly the same if that makes senses?
-flashback-
Corey walked downstairs after hearing something coming from downstairs as he walked down the stairs he heard an all too familiar scream and he started running as fast as he could to the noise and that's when he saw it two different coloured lightning.
One was Blood red and the other was neon blue and they were Both circling Laney who was crying in the center of the two swirling colours.
one of the colours stopped for a millisecond and it showed a man but it was gone before Corey could get a good look then in a flash of blood red Corey was six blocks away from the house that he had lived in for years and without a second thought Corey started running towards the house which wasn't hard considering Corey was very fit for an eighteen-year-old but one thing was running through his mind and that if Laney had been taken away from the fight to.
When Corey got to the house he saw some of the central city police department out front of his house and without thinking he ran into the house pushing all the police officers that got in his way.
then he saw it the tarp that was laid over something right where Laney was but Corey wasn't sure so he crouched down and lifted the corner of the Plastic blanket and was met with Laney's face her emerald eyes filled with pure fear.
Corey felt the tears burning in his eyes and he heard a male voice behind him the voice was like any other but he sounded calming as it said "it's going to be alright son"
the man crouched down next to Corey and placed the tarp back in place as he said "I'm captain Joe west what's your name son"
Corey didn't say anything ... he just couldn't.
-end of flashback-
Corey awoke and looked at his clock it read nine o'clock and with a groan Corey said "fucking hell I'm late for work" Corey got out of bed and got dressed In a black long sleeve button up shirt and some blue denim jeans and muttered as he grabbed his phone off the bedside table "Joe's going to be pissed"
Corey grabbed his keys and walked outside and locked the front door and walked to his Ferrari it was purple and black but Corey wasn't happy to own it or even drive it because it was his father's who was abusive to both his sister and mother but it was a lot worse than abuse for his sister.
Corey unlocked the door with the auto lock button on the key and got putting the key into the ignition and the car started but Corey didn't go anywhere.
Corey just sat there in the driver's seat and started crying it had been six years since she was murdered by the man in blue and Corey hadn't allowed himself to cry about it until now and he hated himself because he waited for six years to actually cry about Laney being murdered by that bastard in the blue suit and lightning after a good 10 minutes of crying Corey managed to pull his shit together and wipe his eyes then pulled out of his driveway and started on his way to work but decided to stop off at CC Jitters and parked the car out front and turned it off then took the key out of the ignition and got out and decided to message Joe.
Corey unlocked his phone and went to his contacts and scrolled down until he found the contact labeled 'Captin West' and touched it opening the interface for a new message and proceeded to type "hey captain I'm going to be a bit late" and pressed send then walked into Jitters and saw Joe's Daughter Iris west
she smiled when she saw him and said "hey Corey what would you like"
Corey smiled back but it was a fake smile as he said pulling out his wallet "could I get two cronuts a latte and a bear claw"
Iris Put her hand on Corey's and said "it's ok Corey this one is on the house you look like you need it"
Corey smiled a genuine smile and put a twenty dollar bill into the tip jar on the counter and pulled his phone to see that Joe had responded to the message and Corey opened the message and it read 'all good Core take your time just make sure you pick up a bear claw from Jitters'
Corey's eyes lingered on the word 'core' he hadn't been called that since the day before Laney was murdered by the man in the blue lightning.
Corey Locked his phone and put it in his pocket then he heard Iris's voice say "Corey"
Corey walked up to the counter and grabbed his order from Iris as he said "thanks, Iris"
She nodded and said "see you tonight yeah"
Corey gave Iris a confused look "tonight?"
Iris rolled her eyes and said "yes tonight you know the thing that Barry Allen and what's his face created"
It finally clicked to Corey and said "oh right we're going to go watch the Particle accelerator be turned on and I can explain the science shit to you for your reporting assessment"
Iris nodded and said "well you best be off to work dad will be pissed if you're later than you already are"
Corey shot her a cocky smile as he said "lucky I have a fast car"
Iris punched his arm and said "you hate driving it"
Corey walked out as he called out "don't remind me"
Corey walked to his Ferrari and unlocked it getting into the driver's seat and took a sip of his latte and put it in his cup holder then took a bite of one of his cronuts and put the bear claw on the seat next to him and put the other cronut in his lap and headed off to the police Department.
When Corey got there he pulled into the Parking lot and found a spot then pulled into the spot and turned off the car then took the key out of the ignition and got out closing the door then locked the door and walked into the building and walked into the elevator and rode it up until it stopped at the top floor and got out then walked up to his Lab and put his keys on the bench
Corey heard a female voice say behind him "How are you feeling Corey?" the voice sounded familiar but Corey couldn't put a finger on it.
Corey looked behind himself to see a familiar Blue haired girl the colour Reminded him of that night but so did his hair the only difference is that Corey's hair now had Blood red streaks in it then the name came to him it was Carrie.
Corey turned around and said "Carrie?" in Six years she had changed a lot she had filled out more she had grown taller and she had ditched the black shirt and brown booty short.
Carrie now wore a Red and black checked flannel long sleeve button up shirt, a pair of black denim jeans and red with black high top sneakers but the only thing that was still the same was her blue hair it was still down to the middle of her back but there is a single black streak going from her fringe to the middle of her head.
Corey turned around and started booting up the computer that was on one of the many tables in his Lab then after a little while Corey turned around and said "why are you here Carrie"
Carrie was shocked as she said "we're worried about you Corey we haven't seen you since Chrismas six years ago and we haven't heard from you by phone or email and Remus is really worried about you to"
Corey shook his head as he said "if Remus is so worried about me then he can tell me himself"
"Good thing I don't stray too far from her then" The familiar voice of Remus sounded from behind Corey
Corey turned around and said "long time no see Remus"
"it has indeed Corey it has indeed" Remus walked over to Carrie as he said "Now will you Talk to us please Corey"
Corey shook his head using the shake to answer the Question and to shake the images from that night Six years ago that's when Carries voice brought Corey back to reality as she said "Remus and I are going to Laney's grave tonight you are welcome to come with us after you and Iris Watch the Particle accelerator be turned on"
Corey stared daggers at her and he saw Remus tense up protectively as Corey said "How did you know"
Carrie's face showed she was hiding something as she said "lucky guess" Corey shot Carrie a stern look and it took a few minutes for Carrie to break but she suddenly blurted out "we have been in Central City for a Few days now and we have been following you around"
Corey smirked as he said "was that so hard" at Carrie's nod he turned around and said "I wouldn't mind going to Laney's grave tonight"
Remus walked over to Corey and said "Laney was our family considering mine are no longer around and Carrie's were well Murdered so to us she was like a mother, a sister and one of our closest friends"
Corey recognized what Remus had said It was exactly what he said at Laney's funeral Corey smiled at it and said "I know she was like a mother to all of us especially me she stopped me from doing stupid shit but now I feel like all I'm doing is stupid shit"
Remus Placed a hand on Corey's shoulder and said "it's alright Corey it's alright"
Corey nodded and said "you guys should get out of here I have a job to do"
Remus walked over to Carrie and wrapped an arm around her waist and Corey turned around to go and boot up a second computer that he had on the other end of his Lab but when he turned around he saw Joe standing where Carrie and Remus had been standing a few seconds ago.
Joe smiled as he said, "how are you feeling Corey?"
Corey had had enough of people asking him that and He turned around and said anger and sadness dripping from his voice and anger written on his face as "does it look like I'm fucking ok Joe because I'm not"
Joe's eyes widened as he said "gee Corey I'm … I'm sorry whats up"
Corey leaned against one of his many tables and said "six years ago my Girlfriend was Murdered and I wasn't fast enough to get back to help her"
Joe walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder and said "Corey it isn't your fault you were what six blocks away there was no way you would have gotten there in time"
Corey looked in Joes brown eyes and said "you don't understand Joe I use to run home from that exact place and my shortest time was ten minutes my longest was and hour"
Joe looked into Corey's blue eyes and said "Like I said Corey, you would never have made it in time that man in blue you told the station about was faster then you ever will be even if you somehow manage to gain superspeed they will always be Faster than you but there is one thing that you know in your heart" Joe pressed his palm to Corey's heart then continued "you know that she loved you more than anything else
Corey chuckled and said "Wise words Joe even if most of it was telling me I will never be able to get revenge on the Guy that Kill her"
Joe grinned as he said "finally a smile I haven't seen one of those on your face since you saw Iris for the first time"
Corey Laughed as he said "well she is really nice"
Joe nodded and said "well" Joe pulled out some files from a bag and handed them to Corey and said "here is some crime scene photos from this morning's robbery"
Corey facepalmed and said "of course the one day I decide not to rush to work I miss a Crime Scene"
Joe placed a hand on Corey's Shoulder and said "it's alright Core you needed the time to yourself"
Corey nodded and said "well I have a job to do"
Joe Chuckled and said "yes you do if you want to get paid"
Corey walked over to a table and put the files down and started to read the case the perpetrator's name is Clyde Mardon a bank robber in his mug shot he had short blond hair and he was wearing a black leather jacket with a black shirt underneath Corey opened the second file and was met with Mark Mardon's Mugshot he had short blackish blond hair, black stubble and like his brother was wearing a black leather jacket with a black shirt underneath.
Corey walked over to a computer and started frantically typing on it and soon it brought up a birds-eye view of the city and zoomed in on a Farm where the Mardon Brothers were hiding a few years back and looked at the time on his Computer it read half past seven and realized that the Particle Accelerator would be turning on in about half an hour Corey heard a Female voice to his Right and it said "so are you ready to see this Particle accelerator accelerate some particles?"
"there was a case I had to work on and it's so close to the Particle accelerator being turned on so I don't think we will make it"
"but watching this is your dream your depressing nerdy dream"
Both Corey and Iris heard Joe's voice as he said "leave him alone he is working"
Corey looked at Joe and said "the only thing I could find on the Mardon Brothers are where they might be" Joe Raised an eyebrow and Corey continued "on the Farm they were hiding out a few years back"
Joe nodded as Iris slapped a hand on his shoulder and said "well looks like Corey solved your Mardon so how about you give let him go and watch the Particle accelerator be turned on"
Joe was Quiet for a little bit then he said "oh all right just remember to close that top window before you head home after"
Corey nodded as he and Iris Ran out as he called back "thank you, Joe"
Corey and Iris Ran to Corey's Ferrari and unlocked it with the button on the key then Got into the driver's seat and Iris got into the Passenger Seat and Corey turned the car on then pulled out of the Police station car park and Drove down to start labs then parked across the road from the S.T.A.R Labs building and Both Corey and Iris Got out then walked into the S.T.A.R. Labs courtyard to see Harrison Wells with his black rimmed glasses a T-black shirt and brown cargo pants.
Next to him was Barry Allen he was wearing a Black coat a red long sleeve shirt and blue denim jeans he had a bright smile but Corey could tell Barry was really nervous but Behind Barry was an unknown guy with a gold ring that had a lightning bolt facing to the right-hand side and the symbol was pushed out slightly but Corey didn't think much of it but at that time he heard Carrie's voice next to him say teasingly "well isn't this a surprise Corey you have a new Girlfriend"
Corey looked at Carrie and said "shush"
Carrie giggled as she looked at her phone and said "8 minutes till it turns on" the Corey heard her mutter "then we can see Laney again"
Corey held back tears as he whispered "yep 8 minutes"
Those eight minutes passed by fairly quickly because Carrie and Iris had started Chatting while Remus and Corey were not too far away at the outdoor Bar and both men were watching over Carrie as Remus said "you should at least consider finding one of the Fangirls from back when you were still part of the band and ask them out"
Corey looked at Remus and said "you mean the Twins Allie and Kate"
"yeah them"
Corey shook his head and said "A. they are like what in their 20 maybe younger maybe older and B. where are they now aren't they in like Starling City chasing around Kon oh I'm sorry the Emerald Archer?"
Remus nodded and said "yeah they are Chacing after the Emerald Archer"
Corey Chuckled and said "well then I rest my case"
Remus Rolled his eyes and said "I would give you Carrie but" He took a sip of his beer then said "no"
Corey rolled his eyes and said "I don't really care keep her not my problem and on the bright side you're the only one that keeps her calm enough to actually tolerate me"
At that moment Harrison Wells stepped up to the mic and said "hello my name is Harrison Wells and I would like to thank everyone for coming to this day because today is the day we make History" and with him saying that he held up a remote with a red button on it and He pressed it turning on the Particle accelerator and everyone cheered and then they saw Carrie walking over to them as she said "should we head off"
Corey nodded and walked to his Ferrari and put the Key into the ignition and drove off to the Grave sight with Remus and Carrie following behind in their Holden Clubsport and when they got to the Grave sight Corey got out of his car while Carrie and Remus got out.
Suddenly Corey started Remembering stuff that never happened like seeing a Ring on Carrie's finger, and a little girl that had Laney's emerald eyes and Corey's natural black hair but neither of those things happened hell Carrie and Remus aren't even dating he is just really overprotective of everyone.
Corey was suddenly snapped out of those thoughts by Carrie tapping on Corey's shoulder and said "come on don't go brain dead yet"
Corey smiled at Carrie and she smiled back then Remus Walked next to Carrie and said "well let's go and do this"
Corey nodded and started walking and in no time all of them reached a Gravestone that read 'Laney Penn'
Corey's mind kept showing him Images of that night the night Laney was Murdered then Corey heard Remus's voice start singing "you only miss the sun when it starts to snow, Only know you love her when you let her go, you Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, Only hate the road when you're missing home, Only know you love her when you let her go"
Corey Joined in as he sang "Staring at the bottom of your glass, Hoping one day you'll make a dream last But dreams come slow and they go so fast, You see her when you close your eyes Maybe one day you'll understand why"
Suddenly it Started raining and streaks of lightning light up the sky (because the plot calls for it) Corey looked up at the sky just in time to see the streaks of lightning and he walked back to his Car as he called back over his shoulder "you two coming"
Carrie and Remus started running after Corey as he continued to walk back to his Ferrari and got into the drivers putting his key into the ignition and drove off back to the Station and when he got there he pulled into the car park and got out taking the key out of the Ignition and ran up to his lab and started pulling on the Metal chain trying to close the window and trying to put on the metal covering to keep any more water from getting in when suddenly Corey heard an explosion and he looked over to the giant windows and saw the explosion coming the S.T.A.R. Labs and he saw it merge with the Storm cloud then suddenly Corey felt his hands go completely numb and it quickly spread throughout his body then suddenly Corey felt excruciating pain all over his body then he was sent flying into the Rack of Chemicals and the last thing Corey saw was a black shadow pass over him before Corey lost complete conciseness.
