Barry's pov

I nearly passed out at my cousins' request. What if my secret gets revealed? This is bad. Really bad. Although, there IS the satisfying thought of showing Eugene who the REAL Flash is between us. Only problem is that's exactly what I can't do. He brought me out of my thoughts

"Barr! We racing or what?"

I sighed " Gimme a sec." I sped off to S.T.A.R. Labs once they couldn't see me and explained my dilemma. Cait spoke up

" Your body is no longer conditioned to run at a normal, human speed. If you race, you'll need your suit for protection, and your cousins will find out who the REAL Flash in the family won't be able to run at a normal speed, no matter how hard you try. It's up to you, Barry. But they need to able to keep the secret, and you said Eugene is a bit of a blabbermouth..."

I sighed "Better to stun him into silence than hear him nagging me about why I didn't race all week. I'll make sure they keep quiet." with that, I went back home, to my cousins; and asked " What are the terms of the race?"

Flash smirked " Twice around the backyard. Whoever arrives first wins, and goes against Puny Parker." I sighed " You promised you' d lay off him this week. He's my cousin too!" he sulked " Fine. Sorry."

Then they took in my new attire and Peter was the one to ask

"What's up with the outfit?" smiling, I replied "Resistance against the wind and it's velocity."

Flash scoffed " You're not gonna go that fast, or fast at all, Barry." I smirked, putting the half mask on, and their faces dropped in shock, obviously realizing who I was now. Voice modulator on, I vibrated my face just for show and for a little fun, chuckling "We'll see."

Obviously, I creamed both of them, then explained everything; answering all their questions. Once their curiosities were satisfied, Eugene spoke " Don't worry, Barr. I know I can be a blabbermouth; but this could put all our loved ones, your loved ones and you in danger. I'll keep your secret."

Nodding, Peter agreed "Yeah, no worries. I'll bet that with great powers comes great responsibility. We won't blow your cover. Although that does explain the quick errands without a car, the Coast City pizza the immense amount of food you eat and how you stay in shape ..."

I nodded, as the science lover was right on he money about those reasons. Then my metahuman alert app went off. Both teens eyed me with their eyes shinning " Mission?! Can we come? Pleeeease?!"

I shook my head and eyed them as if they'd lost their minds " Absolutely not! It's far too dangerous! Try not to get into too much trouble til I get back, ok?" and with that, I left; suited up, ready for whatever was going to come my way this time.

TIME BREAK

I was in disbelief, bringing out my sarcastic side " A giant, mutant, lizard man. Yay?!" Team Flash was in the Cortex, briefing me before I headed out to fight this new threat. Cisco looked up " And we were wrong about this one. He was scientifically mutated to cure a degenerative disease, but it obviously failed. His name is Dr. Curt Connors,and he's from Queens, New York City. Just like your cousin Peter." THAT caught my attention " He' s not even a meta?" they all shook their heads and I headed out, only to see that Spiderman had arrived to Central City out of nowhere, probably having tracked the beast; and was already fighting him. I didn't hesitate to jump in.

Oh no. I had no idea THIS was the mission Barry was going on. What if he finds out about me? I mean, he told us about him, but if he finds out the horrors I put myself through every night, he could tell Aunt May; THEN I'd be toast. She scares me more than Lizard Man.

Using his voice modulator, Barry spoke " Welcome to town, Spider. What brings you over?" While trying to trap Connors, I shrugged " Visiting family, trying to end this psycho AGAIN... Thanks for the help. But he's not like your animal metas, King Shark and Grodd the gorilla. He's a tough cage match." We fought him together for a while, until Curt's tail collided with my face, sending me flying; hitting my back and head on a nearby tree, blacking out.

I watched in horror as the poor teenage hero got flung into the tree trunk; but quickly subdued Lizard Man, who was then put in our meta prison. I contacted NYPD to come get him; then turned all my attention to the injured hero; who started to groan and move around;his mask slipped off from the sweat. I felt like I could throw up right then and there. It was my baby cousin, 15 year old Peter.
