CHAPTER 2

"Help me get him out the car" Caitlin yelled, knowing that Joe wasn't going to be much help.

Cisco slammed his foot down on the breaks, and with that the van came to a grinding holt Cisco was certain that he had left tire marks on the floor, but now was not the time, he jumped out of his seat in a rush to aid Caitlin with Barry.

Cisco ran to the back of the van and quickly pried opened the doors to help Caitlin and Joe with Barry, they ran towards star labs in a frantic attempt to help Barry as quickly as possible.

Caitlin pushed the gurney up against the wall and quickly re-plugged back into the machines, "Lets get some vitals" she shouted, but some how seemed to stay quite calm.

"heart rate 35 bpm blood pressure 40/23" Cisco said looking towards caitlin as if to ask her decipher the vitals, but Cisco knew it wasn't good. Caitlin took one glance and grabbed the defibrillator in a panic.

"We need to get his heart into a better rhythm, Charging to 200 Clear" Caitlin said placing the pads on Barry's chest and shocking him.

"It's not working!" Joe said looking at the machine and reading that Barry's heart rate still read 35 bpm running his hands through his hair.

"Cisco charge to 300! I'm not giving up" Caitlin Said placing the paddles on Barry's chest once more. Cisco glanced at the machine to see the reading was now 0 bpm. Shocked at this Caitlin pushed Cisco aside.

Caitlin frantically grabbed at barry wrist trying to feel for a pulse. "Oh my god" Caitlin said with a sigh of relief "Ive got one its weak but its there" and of in union the machine updated with fresh vitals.

"Pulse is 70 bpm is slow for Barry but its there " Cisco said with a laugh of relief.

"Thank god.. Okay let's get more fluids in him and put the oxygen on 5 litres per minute, and Cisco once you've done that I'm gonna need your help setting his leg" Caitlin said shooting Joe a soft smile, who was still pacing back and forth but trying to stay out of the way.

Caitlin brought over the portable X-ray machine towards Barry's leg. Caitlin gently placed a metal board under the injured leg and then an anti-radionation gown over herself. "Guy I'm taking X-rays do you mind leaving the room.

"Really i think its pretty Obvious that its broken pretty bad" Cisco said nervously, himself and Joe both leaving the room to avoid the radiation.

"Yes Cisco but i need to know the exact places that the bone has snapped so i know how to set it, okay I'm done you both can come back in now" Caitlin said removing the metal board from Barry's leg.

"Okay Cisco get over here i need your help"Caitlin said placing her hands around Barry's knee and foot.

"Cisco can you pull the foot on three" Caitlin said watching Cisco nod in agreement. "Okay 1...2...3 pull" Caitlin said wincing at the very audible cracking noise.

*CRACK*

"Ah mm no , see that does not feel good" Cisco said watching as Barry lay motionless and remained unconscious.

"Well imagine how Barry feels, at least he's stable now, okay I'm going to test these bloods and check that everything's okay on the inside" Caitlin said filling up some test tubes with Barrys' blood.

"Thank god he has super healing though" Joe said now moving closer to the bed.

Cisco and Caitlin had forgot Joe was there because of how quiet he had been. "How longs he going be out for?" Joe asked looking at Caitlin as she always seemed more clued on in these situations.

"I'm not sure, his body is going to remain comatose for now so it can recover quicker but with Barry's super healing shouldn't be too long, he's lucky though if this was anyone else he would need surgery to fix his leg for sure" Caitlin said just as Barry started to stir.

"Speaking of the little red suited devil" Cisco said with a small laugh.

"Mmmm.. Ughh" Barry moaned opening his eyes slightly before shutting them just as quick due to the harsh lights.

Everyone quickly turned there attention to Barry.

"Bare are you okay?!" Joe said with concern, rushing to his sons bedside.

"Barry try not to move okay, you have a compound fracture on your right leg and severe head trauma" Caitlin Said sternly whilst looking at the blood results that had just finished processing.

"What happened I don't remember?" Barry said a puzzled look now plastered on his face but his eyes remained closed.

"You were in your lab bare and you were telling me about the dreams again-

" you collapsed dude, big time" Cisco said butting in whilst taking a bite of his red liquorice straw.

"My leg, it kills and the light..my eyes hurt" Barry said wincing in an attempt to try and move.

"You really shouldn't move Barry, your cells don't seem to be healing at there normal rate, you could be off your feet for a while" Caitlin said looking over the results whilst avoiding eye contact with Barry.

Barrys eyes burst open squinting at the light once more. "What do you mean my cells aren't healing at there normal rate?!" Barry said panicking.

Caitlin took a deep breathe and a step back from Barry trying to partially hide behind the monitors. "Well I've just taken some blood from you and its come back showing some abnormal readings, or should i say normal readings" Caitlin said sighing

"Then what's the problem" Barry said confused.

"I mean there normal as in there almost identical to your results from when you were in your coma before you got your powers, theres almost no trace of the speed force, Barry your cells are working like any normal person" Caitlin said reappearing from behind the screens.

An uncomfortable silence lingered in the air before the screeching of machine alarms snapped everyone out of there trans.

Barry started ripping wires and IV lines off his body and out of his arms.

"BARRY!, what are you doing?! You have to rest!" Caitlin yelled sternly, attempting to push Barry back down with the help of Cisco and Joe.

Barry pushed them aside with little strength he had left and attempted to escape. "I need to see for myself, it can't be gone" Barry's said his voice cracking with pain.

The faint crackle of lightning and a small glimpse of red lit up the room before Barry collapsed onto the floor writhing in pain.

"MY LEG, AHHHhh" Barry whimpered letting a few tears escape.

The contents of the room quickly rushed to Barry's aid gently helping him back into bed. Caitlin adjusting his IVs and Cisco carefully propping Barry's leg up. Barry wincing in the process.
Joe took a step back and slowly sat down taking a deep breath.

Barry stayed quite in obvious pain. He had a blank expression plastered to his face. "My speed it's gone" he whimpered out.
