Chapter 1
Bart POV
It was the year 2995. Bart Allen was sat in a time capsule ready to be launched into the past. His grandmother Iris was just outside the capsule in the STAR Labs facility putting the calculations into the computer system. Bart was being sent back in time to meet the third Flash Wally West.
Bart was only 2 years old. He never really understood the scientific terms but when he was born he inherited his grandfather's speed and it affected all of his cells. When he lived a year he looked 3 and when he had lived 2 years he looked 10.
That was when they put him in a virtual environment, he was raised within it in 3 months. He learned more in those 3 months than most learn in 18 years. The speed he processed things meant he could intake a lot of knowledge in a short amount of time.
But the problem was that soon Bart would be old, then he would die. He needed a cure and his grandmother Iris truly believed that Wally West could provide that cure. She looked upon him now with a love she had always shown him. She was black skinned and ageing, she was about 70 now, she wasn't supposed to age in this century but things came to pass.
Iris West-Allen had been stuck in this time for 40 years now. She had been put forward to the 30th century. His grandfather Barry Allen came forward to be with her, they conceived Bart's parents. Then Barry had to return. Alone.
Bart was now ready to go to the past and meet the Flash. Bart may know a lot but he hadn't lived. He had never actually used his speed to its full extent. He had never really met people who weren't family or doctors and he had hardly been outside. And now he looked 12.
His grandmother looked in on him and said "Bart sweetheart, are you ready? I'll switch the generator on then it will take 30 seconds for the capsule to charge up."
Bart replied "Yes, I'm ready. Grandma will I be able to come back?"
She looked caringly upon him "Yes I think you will. Just make sure the capsule is charged up. But don't return until your condition is cured. Promise me that. Wally will care for you. He will know what to do."
He smiled and said "I promise grandma. I wish Dad was here."
Bart had lost his dad and auntie as they were killed on a cosmic treadmill. Now he only had his Mother and Grandmother.
Iris replied "so do I."
Then Bart heard an electronic charge. Iris said "The generator is charged up. 30 seconds now."
Bart was bored. Iris had noticed how restless he was, due to the fact that he was constantly being fed information for 3 months straight he hated waiting.
He then heard Iris say "15 seconds, wait. No. A wormhole is projected to appear. You'll get sucked into it. This wasn't supposed to happen."
Bart suddenly got very afraid. He saw something appear in the room, it was a time hole but it was bigger and blacker.
He then felt the capsule start to move. His Grandma was shouting but he couldn't hear what she was saying. He tried to get out but the door was being blown back shut.
Bart watched the wormhole draw closer and closer. Then…
Bart was floating through time in his capsule, he couldn't describe it, it was such a strange feeling. Then he crashed, the glass in the capsule broke. He then looked behind to see a wormhole.
He was in a tunnel of sorts, it was a big tunnel which looked like it went round. He felt himself being pulled backwards. He was being pulled into the wormhole.
All Bart could do was start running, he wasn't running at full blast because he didn't need to. If he ran all the way round he could still end up in the wormhole. He was just running ahead, he had to run at this speed for a few minutes.
Then suddenly the wormhole shut, it was closing, Bart didn't stop running. He then continued on at his speed when the wormhole shut and ran straight into a wall in the tunnel. The he was knocked out.
Barry POV
Barry had done it. He had closed the wormhole. He was so relived. There was a fair amount of damage in the surrounding area but he had saved the world.
When he returned to the ground he found himself ambushed into a hug by Iris. She was still upset about Eddie but she was clearly glad Barry hadn't died too. Then he was congratulated by the rest of the team.
A few minutes later they were all walking back into Star Labs. Caitlin said "We're going to have some cleaning to do. The tunnel where the accelerator was, that will need sorting out."
Ronnie nodded and that and as they reached the desk he said "Caitlin bring up the cameras in the accelerator, we need to back some it is safe."
Caitlin got onto the computers, brought up the footage and they all saw it. Saw him.
Cisco said "What the hell? That's a person. A kid. How did he get down there?"
Barry shook his head in disbelief, he said "I suppose we better go and find out"
A few minutes later all of them except Dr Stein who was contacting the officials, were down in the tunnel. Barry walked up to see a kid who looked about 12. He was in a red and white suit similarly styled to Barry's own Flash suit.
The kid looked quite strong for his size, about 5 ft. 5 inches. He was red haired and quite tanned.
They were all crouching over him as he woke up. He slowly opened his eyes to see them all, he said "What happened? Where am I? Am I in 2028?"
They all looked at each other, they were confused what had happened to this kid.
Cisco said "Nah man, you're in STAR Labs. The year is 2015."
The boy was now sitting up and he was coming around. He said "2015? Oh no. It's gone wrong."
Before they said anything he looked up at them, he stared at Barry for a few seconds, then Iris and still looking directly at Iris he said "I recognise you. You're… Grandma!"
He got up and before Barry could blink he was hugging Iris. She didn't know what to do.
The kid then pulled out of the hug and said "You must be Barry Allen. The Flash! Grandad!" he went and hugged Barry before quickly pulling out.
Cisco said "Wow, this day keeps getting weirder. Grandad? That means you're…. Who are you?"
The kid smiled and replied "I'm Bart Allen. Call me Bart."
Barry was astounded, he asked "Bart Allen? You really are related to me?"
Bart said "Yeah, you and Iris. I'm your grandson. This is so cool meeting you! I've read about you, well when I said read, kind of fed the information. This is so crash!"
Barry couldn't believe this, Ronnie said "Crash? What's that? Future slang?"
Bart replied "Yeah I suppose it is." He then looked at Ronnie then everyone else and said "I know all of you. You're Ronnie Raymond. Firestorm! Cisco Ramon, Tech Genius and Vibe! And you're Caitlin Snow, which means you're Kill- Erm Caitlin snow…"
Caitlin said "What? What were you about to say?"
Cisco added "Vibe? What's Vibe?"
Bart ignored them, looked at Joe and said "You're Joe West. My Great-Grandad."
Joe looked shocked as well, he said "We're going to need some proof that you are who you say you are."
Bart smiled at Joe and then suddenly he was gone. Barry watched as a flash went past them, once, twice, it kept passing them in the tunnel. Then it slowed down and Bart appeared again.
They were all gobsmacked. Bart stood in front of them with a big smile on his face and said "Proof enough for you?"
Note- The moment where they leave Eddie's body and go outside is the moment when Bart crashed into this time. I will say now that Bart is from the alternate timeline where Barry's mum didn't die (Reverse-Flash didn't go back in time). I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and the premise of the story. Feedback is appreciated.
