A Different Kind of Story

Chapter 1: Origin

"Lightning is the shorthand of a storm, and tells of chaos." – Eric Mackay

2005

The sound of a thousand footsteps bellowed through the house. A thunderous roar exploded around the home, starting outside but swiftly made its way inside. The very foundations of the house shook violently, which was then followed by a loud shriek of panic.

"Barry!"

The scream was distinctive and obnoxious, but it proved its purpose. Moments later, Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen, better known as just Barry, came storming into his brother's room with wide brown eyes and a worried expression plastered onto his face.

As soon as Barry entered into the room, he felt a small pair of arms wrap around his waist, tightening considerably as they did so. Barry glanced down at his younger brother, swiftly throwing his arms around him also, determined to keep him safe.

The entire neighborhood seemed to calm down suddenly, and the footsteps vanished. The two brothers stayed next to each other, making sure to keep extra quite...

"B-Barry..." The younger blonde haired boy mumbled out, catching Barry's attention. The brown haired teen quickly scanned the room for any dangers, but couldn't find anything initially.

"Daniel?" Barry replied in concern, bringing his full attention back to the boy gripping onto his abdomen tightly. It took him a moment to adjust to the darkness, but he finally noticed that Daniel had an outstretched finger pointed at one of the corners of his room...

"Barry... It's floating." Daniel said slowly, his voice quivering considerably as he did. When Barry looked over to the corner, he saw that all of the water in the fish tank had begun to levitate into the air above the tank, which was then followed by the sound of a helicopters propellers swirling.

Unexpectedly, the house exploded into noise once again, the floorboards shaking extremely. Daniel increased the power of the grip on Barry's abdomen, both of his eyes tearing up as he did so.

"W-What's happening?" Daniel asked his older brother in fear, an engraved darkness kernelling in his stomach. It made him feel nauseous. Something bad was going to happen tonight...

"I...I..."

The eleven-year-old didn't know what to say. After all, Barry didn't know what was going on either. The past five minutes appeared as a blur in his mind, and he couldn't remember much apart from the ground shaking around him, and the sudden urgency that he felt to find his brother.

"HELP!"

It didn't take either of them much time to spring out of the room. Barry was leading, and he was holding onto Daniel's hand tightly. The scream that they had heard, defiantly came from Nora Allen, their mother. Barry's heart was racing considerably, and he could feel the sweat running down his face.

"Mommy!" Daniel called out the moment that they reached the entrance to the living room. Barry quickly covered his own eyes with his free arm, the onslaught of red and yellow colors easily became too much for him. With the hand that he was using to hold Daniel's hand, Barry pushed his younger brother behind his back, where he latched onto Barry's leg.

"R...N...RRY! Henry!"

Barry saw a familiar face burst out of the closest room, quickly moving to jump in front of the two boys. Barry's eyes widened in relief when he saw his father coming to their rescue, and he managed to get a glimpse into the tornado of red and yellow lightning.

Nora Allen was on her knees in the middle of the tornado. As a waterfall of tears poured down her face, Nora Allen reached forward with her right hand outstretched towards her family. The pure distraught on her face was obvious, and it was mirrored on her son's faces.

"MOM!" Barry shouted for her, but her voice was drowned out by the sound of swirling and footsteps... However, he didn't stop trying, and repeatedly they all screamed for her, to no avail.

"R... U...N...!"

Nora Allen's voice was still drowned out, but Henry Allen Senior was sure that he could make out the words... And if those words were correct, then Henry Senior knew what he had to do.

"Barry! Henry! Run!" The father of the two bellowed through the noise, turning his attention to his children. The terror was obvious on his face, and that only made Barry and Daniel quiver uncontrollably. It took a few moments, but the older of the two siblings finally managed to snap out of his stupor, both of his arms quickly moving to wrap around his brother's shoulders.

"We need to go!" Barry ordered his younger brother, who was trembling uncontrollably. The young boy was staring directly into the bustling tornado of red and yellow, his entire body frozen in fear. He wanted to save his mother, and he would do anything in his power to do it.

"No! No! We need to save her!" Daniel screamed loudly, visibly over exerting himself to carry the sound around the room. The young boy had been sure that his older brother would be onboard with his motives, but when Barry took a hold of his hand tightly and began to bolt towards the door, he knew otherwise.

"NO! Stop! Barry, let me go!" Daniel began to scream and thrash violently as he was forcefully dragged towards the exit. Why didn't Barry and Dad save her?! Why couldn't they stop this from happening? Several exploding emotions were visible on his face; anger and frustration being the two leading parties.

Even after they reached the exit door, Daniel didn't stop screaming and squirming. Barry still hadn't let him go, and the two tornados of light were becoming ever closer to Nora Allen. In a last ditch effort, Daniel quickly formulated a risky plan to try and save his mom.

He was going to bite Barry's hand, so that he could free himself. But would that help? If he bit Barry's hand, what would he do once he was free? Run into the lightning storm and try and save his mother? The more Daniel thought about it, the bigger the migraine forming in his head became.

So he did what first came to his mind.

Barry reached for the door handle drastically with his free hand, only to feel his entire body jerk as incredible pain raced through his body. "OUCH!" Barry screamed out in pain, swiftly yanking his welting hand away from his younger brother's ruthless mouth.

By the time Barry turned to look at Daniel, his brother was already half way back towards the lightning tornado, each of his scrawny legs carrying him as fast as his tiny body could muster. Barry could only feel his heart drop to the bottom of his stomach, and his normally creamy skin instantaneously became pale.

"Daniel!"

The blonde haired boy didn't seem to hear his chocolate haired brother's desperate attempts to call him back, and if he did, Daniel was completely ignoring it. His body was already in motion and even if he wanted to turn around, he wouldn't. Determination pumped through his veins as he got closer to the flashing lights; his mother's safety being the only thing on his mind.

That was until his entire momentum was halted by a very stiff object appearing in front of him. It wasn't instantaneous or even extremely fast, but it was so sudden that Daniel didn't have any other choice but to crash and fall back onto his rear…

"Ow…." The five-year-old moaned, lifting a weak right hand to nurse his spinning head. What had he just run into? It was too big to be Barry, so that means… Daniel forced himself to look up at the looming figure above, both of his eyes expanding greatly when he saw the scene in front of him.

"DAD!" Barry's voice could be heard bellowing from the door, and the sound of sobbing could also be heard coming from his direction. Daniel was frozen solid to the ground; helplessly watching as scarlet liquid slowly dripped down the hole formed by a silver blade protruding from his father's back…

The father of the two kids crumpled to the ground, his dead corpse spraying blood all over Daniel; soaking him in the thick crimson liquid. Henry's body was facing away from Daniel, fortunately for the kid, and Daniel began to hyperventilate violently.

His heart beat began to increase enormously, blood rushing around his body extremely quickly. His cheeks were flushed- No, his entire creamy body was now tomato red, intermingled with blotches of crimson blood from his father. It was at that moment that he realized that he was all alone in the room…

Well, almost all alone. Barry was long gone, and he could see his mother's crumpled body just a few feet away. In front of Daniel was a tall figure wearing a yellow skin tight body suit, staring down at him while holding onto a bloody knife.

The smirk on the masked man's vibrating face was something forever etched into Daniel's subconscious. Both of the speed demon's eyes were scarlet red, as if bright fire from hell was shining through each eye socket. The five-year-old could only quiver as his eyes scanned the body of the vibrating man, and his eyes became transfixed on the lightning bolt symbol on the man's chest.

A reversed lightning bolt…

Suddenly, an extraordinary gust of wind seemed to rip through the room, and Daniel found himself about 20 blocks away from where he was moments ago, no longer in the deathly scene that he was forced to witness… Just a few moments of recalling the situation in his head only caused the small kid more distraught, until he could feel the fear and confusion overtaking him; causing him to crawl up into a small human ball at the side of the street.

Why was he so weak? Why couldn't he protect the people that he loved? Where was Barry? That was the last thoughts that went through Daniel Allen's head, before his vision went out and he blacked out.

2015 - The Present

Ring! Ring! Rin-

It hadn't even taken the user more than a second to determine if the call was worth taking. After all, it was around the 4th time in the last hour that the boy's adoptive father had called him to try and check up on him. He wasn't a kid anymore, and he definitely didn't need to be monitored as closely as this.

However, it was expected. You do automatically become a target to many bizarre people when you are the son of award winning scientist, Harrison Wells, and the only heir to the prosperous, Science capital of Central City, S.T.A.R Labs.

"Daniel 'Malcolm' Allen, this is highly irresponsible of you..." A rather irritated voice spoke through the voice message system on Daniel's phone, causing the 15-year-old to sigh loudly. He knew automatically from the voice that it was Harrison Well's on the other end trying to get through. Plus, his father was the only one that ever used his full name, middle name included, to address him when he was angry.

"You are supposed to be at my side during the grand opening of th-"

"Particle Accelerator..." Daniel finished for the voice message, despite knowing that Dr. Well's couldn't hear him on the other end. He'd heard his adoptive father tell him the plan millions of times now. During the unveiling of Harrison Well's latest project, the Particle Accelerator, Daniel was to be his father's right hand man throughout the entire night, and before the grand opening, Daniel was scheduled to give a speech about the machine and how it was supposed to benefit the city…

Most science nerds would be head-over-heels to have the 'privilege' of giving a speech about the expensive piece of junk; However, Daniel definitely wasn't one of those nerds. Even if he wanted to change his mind now, the young Allen didn't know a single fact about the Particle Accelerator, or what it was made for, which would ultimately bring embarrass to himself in front of the whole of Central City.

Yeah… No.

Ultimately, that was only one reason why he wasn't currently being groomed to perfection for the big night. Nor was it the main reason. Instead, the cerulean eyed teenager had all of his attention locked onto a certain building in the heart of Central City.

The Central City Police Department.

His entire body seemed to physically jolt as unkempt emotions riled through him, encouraging him to begin to walk towards the entrance of the building. Why was he so exhilarated all of a sudden? Well, he was about to confront someone that he hadn't spoken to in year. Well, in person, that is. Sparsely would the two brothers hear from each other.

Yes, Daniel was looking for his long lost older brother, Barry Allen.

Well, not so lost. Even when separated into different households 10 years ago, both brothers knew that the other was still in Central City. For unknown reasons to Daniel, the connection they had seemed to dissipate very quickly after that night, and even though they both had each other's contact details throughout the years, they barely ever did more than just hold it in their phones. Even when Daniel did attempt to message Barry, he never seemed to get a response.

Dr. Wells had told Daniel for the first couple of year that Barry probably found it difficult to contact him because of the connection that they shared to their deceased parents. However, Daniel didn't understand that reasoning at all. Wouldn't that bring them closer together? Surely he was the only person that shared the same feelings as Barry about that night, right?

Daniel also theorized about the possibility that Barry wanted to forget the past to spare himself from the memories. Perhaps his older brother was trying to move on from the terrors of that night by making an entirely new family. In that case, seeing Daniel, the only connection that Barry had with his past, could possibly cause a negative reaction.

However, Daniel was ready to take the risk. It had taken quite bit of planning to slip through Harry's protective watch, especially on his special day, but in the end it would pay off.

As he took a deep breath, Daniel ran a cool hand through his arguably short blonde hair, spiking the lighter blonde away from his dark roots. The teenager would then take a few steps towards the entrance and he placed his hand on the door, only to have the door open unexpectedly.

Two policemen came rushing out, one of which Daniel recognized almost immediately. Joe West, Daniel's dead father's ex-partner and the man that adopted Barry out of respect to his fallen partner. Too bad that respect didn't count for both of Henry Allen's children…

The largely built African American man brushed past Daniel in a hurry, turning momentarily to apologize for the impoliteness. Both of their eyes linked for a moment, cerulean blue and the darkest brown intermingling in an intense clash of colors.

"No problem." Daniel replied to the apology smoothly, before choosing to abandon making a conversation for now. It didn't take him more than a moment to turn away from Joe West and enter the Police station. It wasn't like he hated the man for only adopting Barry, but… certain feelings began bubbling up inside of Daniel the moment their eyes clashed, and it was the kind of feeling that Daniel usually got before he did something that he'd regret later.

The A/C inside of the building was what snapped Daniel out of his daze. The young Allen looked around briefly until he spotted the directions sign just a few feet away from him. It had a short list of all of the departments in this specific department, and how to get to them. It didn't take him very long to find the department where his brother worked, seeing as Barry appeared to be the lead Crime Scene Investigator at the department.

Seeing as the department was on the 3rd floor, Daniel swiftly located the nearest elevator and took it up to the second floor. Interestingly, the elevator didn't seem to go up to the 3rd floor, which probably meant that Daniel would have to get out on the 2nd floor and figure out how to advance upwards.

Fortunately, Daniel was in the elevator alone, because his constant fidgeting would have definitely caused some suspicion from anyone watching. He was obviously nervous. Bringing his right hand up to his forehead, he wiped a bead of sweat away from his forehead, while his left hand was folding up the bottom corner of his plain black dress shirt.

"Hey Bro, it'- No. I can't start like that. Urmm…" Daniel took a breath; his mind beginning to try and figure out how to introduce himself to Barry. "Hey Barry, you probably won't recognize me but I'm your little brother." Daniel shook his head once again and he went through several more possibilities before the elevator opened on the 2nd floor.

Daniel stepped out of the elevator and just stood there in the large lobby for a few moments. His eyes scanned around and looked for another way to get up to the 3rd floor, eventually finding a large staircase on the other end of the room. Daniel immediately began to head to the staircase, keeping a steady stride as he went.

Unknowing to Daniel, only badged cops and Barry himself were allowed to proceed up the stairs to Barry's CSI room, so his semi-confident stride towards the staircase was causing quite a few eyes to lock onto him. That, plus the fact that the majority of the television in the police station were playing the unveiling of the Particle Accelerator, where the missing Daniel Allen, the 'successor of S.T.A.R Labs', was scheduled to perform his speech.

Instead of interrupting the teen in his path, most of the people that noticed Daniel heading to the stairs began to talk among themselves. If Daniel hadn't been so caught up in trying to control his nervousness, he would have noticed dozens of eyes curiously watching him.

"Great job investigating that crime scene this morning. Joe and his partner are heading out to apprehend the robbers as we speak." Captain Singh reported casually, sitting back in his chair and relaxing. Out of all the investigators he's ever met, Barry Allen must have been one of the best, but also the humblest.

Barry awkwardly stood a few feet away from Captain Singh's desk, holding out a red folder that contained all of the evidence from the bank robbery earlier that day. "Thank you, but without all of your guy's help, my evidence would be useless…" Barry trailed off, followed by a grateful smile.

Captain Singh looked up at Barry for a few moments, before sighing deeply and taking the folder from his grasp. "You need to give yourself more credit, Mr. Allen. You're our best, and only, Crime Scene Investigator. Without you, we would still be miles behind on the case." Captain Singh pointed out casually, causing Barry's mouth to curve into a small smile.

Being praised by his new boss was one of the things that Barry had wished for prior to getting this job. Much to his relief, every case that he had worked on for the past 4 months had succeeded, and he was being congratulated almost every week since he landed the job.

"Thank you, Captain Singh." Barry said politely, retracting his hand and folding his arms. Both of his chocolate brown eyes scanned the room and landed on the flat screen television in the corner. Tonight was the unveiling of the Particle Accelerator and subconsciously Barry began to tap his feet on the floor impatiently, almost begging to be dismissed.

"You are dismissed."

Barry was out of the room almost immediately, scurrying through his fellow co-workers so that he could head up to his work room. If his memory served him correctly, his younger brother was scheduled to give a speech, which probably was starting now, and he really didn't want to miss it.

Unfortunately, as Barry scurried towards the staircase leading up to his work space, he kept taking glances at the televisions around the room and he saw the latest update. From what he could piece together, the brown haired man concluded that Daniel didn't show up for his speech, the reason which was unknown.

"But why is he here?"

"Shouldn't that kid be there?"

"Huh? Why is the heir of S.T.A.R Labs at the police department?"

That last one caught Barry's attention, and he swiftly turned his attention towards the owner of the voice. Was his brother here? Barry stood there for a few moments, before he managed to clear his head.

"You mean at this police department?" Barry asked, catching the attention of the badged man. Instead of answering the CSI Investigator verbally, the man pointed behind Barry and towards the direction where Barry was originally heading.

"Thanks man."

Barry turned around and began to head towards the direction where that man had pointed; until he had broken through the small crowd of busy cops rushing around. Finally, Barry could get a clear look at the figure walking towards the staircase leading to his office.

Just looking from the back, Barry could barely recognize the teenager. Was that his brother? The only thing that Barry could make out was short blonde hair at the back, which seemed to be well styled, along with a black dress shirt. Barry quickened his pace and soon made it towards the teenager.

"Danny?"

Daniel almost tripped over his own legs when he heard Barry's voice, and he came to a complete stop. He hadn't heard that nickname in years, and more importantly, he hadn't heard that voice in years. The young Allen turned his head slowly until his cerulean blue eyes met with Barry's chocolate brown, both filled with shock, confusion and joy.

"Barry…" Daniel's voice came out weakly, as if the shock and realization had finally hit him. The man standing in front of him was Barry Allen, his older brother. Although Barry looked extremely different from when he was 11 years old, Daniel could still see the key features that Barry still retained, and probably always will. Deep brown eyes, matching brown hair, and an incredibly goofy grin.

"Danny!" Barry exclaimed again, this time pumped full of enthusiasm and excitement. Barry's face had twisted into one of the happiest faces that Daniel had ever seen, with Barry's smile threatening to split his face in half. A moment later, Barry had engulfed Daniel in an enormous hug that left the younger boy stunned.

After a few seconds of an incredibly one sided hug, Barry let go of his brother and looked up into Daniel's face with a slightly confused and awkward smile. "You're not happy to see me?" Barry asked his brother, his tone of voice clearly expressing the fact that he was confused as to why Daniel wasn't responding much.

"No-No! It's not that… I'm just a bit…" Daniel took a few moments to blink and clear his head. "Overwhelmed. That's all." Daniel told Barry, who accepted the excuse within the blink of an eye. Daniel was truly meant to say confused, because that was really why his brain seemed to shut down a few moments ago

Daniel thought that when he met his brother, it would all make sense to him. The reason why Barry didn't text or call him. The reason why Barry seemingly dropped every sort of connection with him. But right now, none of it made sense.

It seemed that Barry was actually glad to see Daniel, and that single fact threw everything out of the window. Because Barry was happy, dare say overjoyed, that meant that he held no resentment to Daniel's sudden appearance; which in turn meant that Daniel's theory about Barry wanting to completely sever all connections to his past was now garbage.

But that left so much unanswered questions that needed answering.

While Daniel had been daydreaming about his mass-confusion, they had both moved up into Barry's very spacious pseudo-office, and were now opposite each other at the center. Daniel broke out of his trance just as Barry had finished opening a large window above them.

"It's great to finally see you." Daniel managed to speak out, a genuine smile crossing his face as he did. It wasn't a lie. All of the days that Daniel stayed up all night planning a way to get to this point had finally paid off, and even if he wouldn't admit it to himself prior to this moment, he didn't think that the plan was going to work.

"It's amazing to finally see you again too!" Barry replied enthusiastically, a large grin still etched onto his face. "I mean; it's been years since we've last seen each other! You're all grown up now!" Barry rambled out quickly; memories of a much younger boy, with extremely light blonde hair and sky blue eyes, rushing back to him. "You just turned-"

"15." Daniel finished for his brother, proudly smiling back at him. "It was only a few weeks ago, actually. M-"

"May the 22nd." Barry finished for Daniel, completely shocking the blonde teenager once again. Daniel apparently stayed silent for a few more seconds, because Barry spoke up once more. "Did you think that I could forget my own little brother's birthday?" Barry asked Daniel, the question actually lingering in the air for a few moments. Barry's tone seemed to change, a more confused and uncertain vibe radiating from it.

"Well… Yeah, kind of." Daniel replied, his own voice also carrying an uncertain ring to it. Barry raised his eyebrows considerably when Daniel replied, a genuine confusion setting upon him. After a few more seconds of silence, Daniel realized that Barry was inviting him to explain his reasoning, and so he spoke.

"If you knew, why didn't you contact me on the day? Or come to the party that was hosted?" Daniel asked his brother, the freshly-baked questions being tossed over in both of their heads. Daniel nervously fiddled with a button on his shirt, almost regretting that he asked now. What if the answer that he got wasn't what he wanted?

"Are you kidding with me?" Barry asked, which was followed by a nervous laugh. Barry watched the confused expression on Daniel's face seem to drop into a bewildered frown, and Barry realized that he wasn't joking. "Are you saying that you didn't get all of the gifts that I sent to you?"

Daniel felt an overwhelming feeling of being cheated, because this could either mean two things. One, Barry was lying to cover up for the lack of contact, or two, the delivery of the gifts that Barry had bought for him had gotten lost or stolen before they reached Daniel. However, when Daniel saw how genuinely confused and concerned Barry was, he couldn't help but believe him.

"Not that I can remember…" Daniel reported back to Barry, who immediately forced himself to take a very deep breath. Before Barry could reply, Daniel took a step forward and carried on talking. "But that doesn't explain why you didn't text or call me to say Happy Birthday, or to wish me a good day. Or why you didn't come to any of my parties. Or-"

Daniel had to stop himself from exploding into a flurry of questions and demands. These questions had bugged him for years, and it went way beyond just this past birthday. From the saddening look on Barry's face, Daniel knew that his older brother knew it too.

"So… You're telling me that you didn't get any of my texts either?" Barry said extremely slowly, a very suspicious feeling coming from the whole situation. Daniel just stood there and shook his head slowly, before biting the corner of his lip.

"Here, look." Barry took his phone out of his pocket smoothly, turning it on and going to the 'Messages' section. Once he was there, Barry easily found Daniel's name, which was strangely near the top of the list. Didn't that mean that the latest text was recent?

"You're telling me that you didn't get all of these?" Barry asked slowly, opening the conversation. A large hole in Daniel's chest seemed to open, as he saw dozens upon dozens of messages sent to his phone by Barry. As Barry went further up the list of messages, Daniel noticed that years were going by without a single response on his part, and he knew immediately that something was seriously wrong.

Daniel took out his own phone and went to his message box with Barry, only for them both to find the complete opposite to what they had found on Barry's phone. Dozens of messages had been sent from Daniel's phone to Barry's phone, but none of them had a reply. Strangely enough, the dozens of messages displayed on one phone didn't show up on the other phone, which logically wouldn't make sense unless one of them blocked the other. However, a quick check proved that it wasn't the case…

Then what was it?

Who had been trying to keep them apart for years?

Noticing the conversation getting drearier as time moved on, Barry put his phone away and looked at his brother with a heartfelt smile, already seeing all of the emotions swirling through his brother's head. This conversation seriously needed to lighten up.

"If we keep going like this, we're going to become as paranoid as Batman." Barry chuckled outwardly to his brother, who only smiled weakly at the comment. "Come on, cheer up! It was probably just a stupid phone error! The important thing is that we're together now! We can figure out all of this stuff another time!" Barry said as he wrapped his rather fragile arms around his younger brother's shoulder and squeezed them reassuringly.

This time, Daniel actually brought himself to smile genuinely, both of his lips curving upward into a curved link line. Barry was right. The past didn't matter for now, as long as they were together now and hopefully from now on. "Yeah, you're right. Let's just forget it for now." Daniel replied to Barry, who was back to his joyful attitude.

That expression didn't last long, however, because just a few moments later, all of the lights in the city were knocked out. Barry's smile dropped into a concerned frown, and the brown haired man turned around to look out of the massive window that faced into the city.

"Woah…"

Daniel was the first one to verbally respond to the phenomenon unravelling in front of them both, which was quickly followed by a sudden realization. This was happening at Star Labs! Harry! He was inside of the facility! His heart began to beat extraordinarily fast, and by the time he got this phone out of his pockets, the blonde was already shaking.

Barry noticed that Daniel was distressed, and a hint of confusion was evident on his face for a moment, before it dissipated. Between the events of the last 15 minutes, Barry had completely forgotten the fact that Dr. Harrison Wells was Daniel's legal parent, and had been for the last 10 years.

"It will be okay Danny, your…" Barry paused for a second as he thought about what to call Dr. Wells. "... Dad, will be fine..." Barry said the last part uncertainly, as he hadn't get figured out the relationship between Daniel and Dr. Wells yet.

"Y-Yeah…" Daniel took a deep breath and brought the phone up to his ear slowly. For the second time that day, Daniel's heart was racing at inhuman speeds; Both of the brother's now waiting for Dr. Wells to answer the phone call…

"Investigator Allen! All available cops are needed down at S.T.A.R Labs as soon as possible!" The voice of Captain Singh came booming from down the stairs, and Barry knew that they needed to go. Barry turned his attention quickly to the stairs and began to hurry towards it, until he realized that Daniel hadn't moved from his spot.

"Danny, we need to get going!" Barry exclaimed loudly to his brother with a desperate voice, swiftly making it back over to his brother and reaching over to take a hold of Daniel's shoulder. Just as he did that, someone had answered the phone on the other side, and a vastly relieved expression crossed Daniel's face. Barry realized that it meant that Dr. Wells hadn't been hurt.

"I'm okay! I wasn't near the bl-"

If Daniel could take back his words, he would have. Daniel didn't even get to finish the sentence before a deafening roar erupted from the sky above, followed by an intolerable pain which ripped through both of the brothers simultaneously, knocking them unconscious and sending them sailing across the large room; one into a wooden shelf of unnamed chemicals, and the other into the wall…

How'd you like the first chapter? It is my own little (very big) twist on the events of Flash.

It will have a mixture of the comic Universe, and the TV Universe (CW), with my own spin on the events and some added characters.

Just to clarify, some of the cast are younger. I will clarify when I get to them. However, just in case you didn't notice it in this chapter, but Barry is 21.

Following the tradition of SilentEevee, an author of one of my favorite Flash stories on Fanfiction, (You should check out her stories!) I'm going to be putting a DC related question for the readers to answer.

Today's Question: What is the fastest recorded speed that the Flash has ever run?

The first person to answer with the question correctly will get a shout out in the next chapter!
