Barry was standing outside of the abandoned warehouse- cliche much- that Cisco had pinpointed as Eiling's latest hideout/experimentation center. Eiling's illegal experiments on meta humans had been recently found out by his superiors, one of which actually had a soul and fired him. The action had seemed helpful, but it had on,y made Eiling more desperate and more dangerous. The word on the street was Eiling was hiding out at the aforementioned warehouse and had a few metas imprisoned inside. Of course Barry had to go and check it out, if only he knew what was lying in wait for him.
Barry slowly reached out to open the door when he heard a scream coming from inside. However, to call it a scream wouldn't be entirely correct, the sound was more howl than anything. It was filled with pain and suffering. Barry wasted no time speeding into the building and toward the source of the sound, even as Caitlin and Cisco chattered in his ear about the traps that Eiling could have set. He didn't care, whoever, or whatever made that unholy sound needed help now.
As Barry weaved his way through the halls of the warehouse, he prayed for the person to make another noise. Come on, come on, come on! Barry's mental whispers must have been heard when a snap and a tired groan echoed from a room opposite him. Barry's worry and nervous fear caused his hands to shake as he tried to open the door. When he finally heard the click of the door knob turning and he threw open the door without hesitation.
The meta frantically scratched at the ground, only stilling when they had curled so tightly into themselves and had pressed so closely to the wall, the only thing betraying their presence was the harsh and painful breathing.
Barry knelt down slowly after Caitlin had chastised him about loudly throwing open the door to an injured meta's meta looked up at him, his blond curls falling to cover his glacier colored eyes. One of his arms was cradling the other and his young face was bleeding from several places. Barry flinched inside when he realized just how young the boy was, he couldn't be more than 17, not even out of high school. He desperately wanted to bring in Caitlin to take a look at the obviously injured teen, but he still had to make sure that Eiling wasn't in the building. Barry turned back it the boy.
"I promise I'm not going to hurt you, but I have to make sure Eiling is gone so I bring in my friends to help you. Ok?" The boy had whined at the mention of Eiling and seemed to become less aware by the second, but managed to give Barry a nearly imperceptible nod. Barry then sped off frantically searching the building, hoping that Eiling was gone, so he could focus on the wounded boy. Eiling was nowhere to be found, most likely long gone. Then, he ran.
As Star Labs loomed in front of him, Barry pushed himself even faster.
