Me: Wohoo! New Flash story… it might crossover with Arrow but they are already technically crossovers right?
Barry: Where am I? How did I get here? Who are you?
Me: Um… my recording studio. I kidnapped you. And you can call me Candy.
Barry: Why am I here?
Me: Because I write fanfiction… and you are the Flash… so I'm writing about you and a case that you have yet to do…
Barry: Let me go Candy.
Me: Ah, not until the end of the chapter… and knowing me that will either be in a flash or… a long long time.
Barry: My friends will worry.
Me: And I've set a trap for them.
Barry: Oh… Arrow won't fall for that.
Me: Trust me. He will.
Disclaimer Here – I don't own the Flash… or the Arrow…. Or anything else that might show up. Except for my villain/non-villain OC's.
3rd Person POV
It was quiet at Central City for once. There was nothing. Then there was a flash of yellow, lightning it seemed, and a man in red stopped in front of an alley way. It was dark but he stood out, a light in the darkness you could say. Shadows clinged to the alley way, making the stretch seem ominous. The man in all red hesitated before slowly moving forward. His footsteps echoed loudly, breaking the quietness.
"Are you sure this is the place Cisco?" Barry asked, looking around.
"I'm positive Barry," the voice replied, talking through the com, "Why?"
"There's nothing here."
Behind Barry a shadowed loomed, someone wearing a black hood appeared behind him. Judging by the figure it was a woman, not a very old one though. She was probably around fifteen or so. Barry suddenly turned around and the girl screamed. When he went to comfort her the girl lunged at him. Her bare hands touched his lower face, the only bare place on him. Everything slowly went dark and Barry went to his knees. Everything faded in and out. Then there was nothing. The last thing he saw was a lock of red. Barry heard a soft gasp.
"I'm sorry… oh my god I'm so sorry…" a soft girls voice said rapidly, "I'm so sorry…"
Then there were soft footsteps running away.
"Barry, what's going on?" Caitlin asked.
"I can't see!" Barry answered, his voice strangled, "I can't see!"
"Hold on Barry, Cisco is on his way."
It took some time but soon Barry heard the sound of the van driving up. Someone's heavy footsteps came at him and then calloused hands touched his shoulder.
"Alright Barry, up and at 'em," Cisco said, gently pulling him up.
"It was a girl… just a girl," Barry said, using Cisco as a guide.
"Dude, you got beat up by a girl?"
Barry tried to punch Cisco, but missed and nearly fell over. Quickly Cisco steadied him and helped him into the van. Like the last time Barry was blind he was completely dependent on his friends for help. He was not looking forward to having to be that dependent on them all over again. And this time he couldn't even see fractions, blurry fractions of anything. It was all black, there was nothing at all.
"Cisco, I can't see anything at all," Barry simpered.
"Not even those blurry fractions?" Cisco asked, helping Barry strap in.
"Nothing!"
"Dude calm down, we'll figure it out."
"I can't calm down Cisco! She stole my sight!"

A bunch of machines, one with a close up of Barry's eyes, were on in the lab. Caitlin was bustling around, running tests and trying to figure out what happened. Meanwhile Cisco helped Barry change into some more civilian like clothes. Harry, the Earth Two Harrison Wells, was watching without emotion. His hands were clasped below his chin, watching the chaos going on.
"Barry, can you describe what the girl looked like?" Caitlin asked, sitting down, "Maybe she can reverse it… I can't tell when you'll get your sight back otherwise."
"So I might be stuck like this… forever?" Barry asked.
"Unless we can get her to reverse this… so you need to describe her."
"It was dark Caitlin! And she was wearing a hoodie."
"Was there anything on the hoodie?" Harry asked, looking up, "Anything that might give us an idea of who she is?"
"Um… there was a symbol… I would draw it but," he gave a harsh chuckle, "That'd be fun."
"Describe the symbol."
Barry bit his lip, his head facing towards his lap. At first it was silent, but then he started talking.
"It had three triangles making another triangle with a white triangle in the center," Barry said.
"That was the worst description I've ever heard," Cisco muttered, ignoring the glare Caitlin gave him.
"It will help though, I'll get right on it," Caitlin said, heading towards the computer.

There was silence for over an hour. The only sound was the typing on the computer and the beeping from the machines around them. It took a second, only one second, to break the silence. A small triumphant noise from Caitlin, one that normally they would never hear at all, caused Barry to jump and his head to turn towards the noise.
"What?" Barry asked.
"I found it, CCP. Central City Public," Caitlin said.
"High School?" Cisco questioned, "Dude I hated that place."
"I'm going through the list of students now."
"It was a girl… she was petite I remember…" Barry said softly.
Caitlin glanced up at Barry, staring at his blank eyes. Then she flinched and went back to the list.
"Anything else you can remember?" Caitlin asked, scrolling through the list of pictures and names.
"Red… she had red hair," Barry added.
There was more silence. Caitlin scrolled through pictures and names. Then she stopped at one. The girl had long red hair, eyes the color of the sea, and tan skin. For a second Caitlin freezed on the name before clicking on the link on her name, more information popped up. The girl's name was Mabel Matthews, she was a Sophmore, and was also a straight A student.
"I found her."
Me: YOU CAN GO NOW! SHUT UP AND STOP BUGGING ME! IT'S ONLY BEEN A FEW HOURS!
Barry: *cheers and jumps* Yes! *speeds out the door*
