A week passes since Leonard tried to talk some sense into Barry, and Barry is continuing to increase his speed. Today, though, he finally did it. He finally achieved a speed that was faster than Zoom. Finally, he was faster than that monster. Finally, he achieved his greatest dream: to be faster than the man that killed Henry. Barry smirked when he read the speed on the speedometer. He was finally fast enough to kill Zoom, and today was the day that he was finally going to get his revenge.
Barry is waiting for Zoom at one of the breaches in Central City, knowing that he'll walk out of one at any minute. He's been following him for a week, learning when, and where he'll pop up next so that he can finally kill him when he does come out of the breach. It was about ten minutes later when Leonard finds Barry. Hesitantly, Leonard gets closer to the speedster, and that's when his heart breaks. Barry's eyes were cold, the gentleness that was once there was replaced by a hollow, solemn expression.
"I know you're still in there, Scarlet. Deep down, the Barry Allen that I once knew is still in there." Leonard sighs. Barry doesn't even look at him. He's too busy looking at the breach to pay him any attention. Leonard sighs.
"I know you want revenge, but revenge isn't the way." Leonard adds. Again, Barry ignores him. It was about thirty minutes later when Zoom runs through the breach. Barry is up in seconds, running at the other speedster as he slams into him.
"Well, I didn't expect to run into you here." Zoom smirks. Barry lets out a snarl as he grabs Zoom by the shoulders. After that he starts running, gripping his shoulder as hard as he can as he listens to Zoom whimper in pain. Eventually he gets to Central City Picture News, and that's when he sees Iris looking back at him. Barry vibrates his hand, putting it inside Zoom's back as he lifts him into the air. Within seconds, there were cameras pointed at the Flash.
"Central City, this is the monster that has been terrifying this City. This is the monster that nearly killed me. The days of this monster terrorizing this city, are over." Barry snarls.
"Please! Don't do this!" Iris pleads.
"Look, I don't know what's going on with you, but this isn't you. You're not some monster, you're a hero." Iris adds. Barry slams Zoom into the wall, his hand still in his spine. When he does that, a sickening crunch could be hard as Barry broke the speedster's back. Zoom starts gasping in pain, looking up at Barry with a pleading expression.
"I'm not anything anymore. He made sure of that." Barry snaps.
"Please! I know you're hurting, but this isn't the way. Come on Flash, let him go!" Iris pleads. Barry grabs Zoom's shoulder, running outside the building until they were out of eyeshot. Now that they were alone, he lets him go. Zoom's back had already healed, much to Barry's frustration.
"Well, you've gotten a lot faster. Good, it means there's more for me to steal." Zoom smirks. Barry runs up to Zoom, and that's when he wraps his fingers around his neck. Zoom's eyes widened when Barry starts squeezing his neck. He wants to plead with him to let him go, but he can't. He can't breathe.
"I hate you, so damn much." Barry growls. He listens to the choked breathing coming from Zoom. He's looking up at him now, eyes silently pleading with him to let go, to let him breathe.
"You killed my father, right in front of me, after I spent years trying to find a way to prove his innocence." Barry snaps. He still hasn't let go of Zoom's neck.
"You nearly killed me. Bet you wished you'd finished the job now." Barry smirks. He watches as Zoom's skin starts to turn blue. Just a little longer now. Within a few seconds, Zoom goes limp, and Barry smirks. Finally he lets go, watching his limp body fall to the ground. Barry smirks as he grabs Zoom's corpse, and that's when he decides to go to Central City Picture News.
When he gets there, he lifts Zoom's body, showing him off like a trophy he had won.
"This is the monster that nearly killed me. This is what happens when you kill my family. If you don't want to be next, then I advise you to leave me, and my family alone." Barry smirks. Within the next day a new article was written: The Flash kills the monster that broke his back. Witnesses are calling him the next Zoom. For your own safety, stay away from the fallen hero, and if you see him, call the police. Barry didn't care though, he had his revenge, and damn did it feel good.
