Barry opened his eyes and found himself in the same dark room. There was a dead silence except for the soft broken cries he heard from the ten year old that sat in the corner of the room. His heart ached for the boy. Now he wasn't just a boy, he was Oliver's son. His best friend, his mentor and to be honest his brother's son. He had to help the kid. This time the speedster felt himself a lot calmer than before. This time Barry knew he was dreaming. He slowly walked towards the kid "William?"
The boy stopped crying and he lifted his head. Barry could see a wave of hope rise in those small eyes. William wiped his blurry eyes and looked around. He whispered the next words "Please help me"
Barry nodded "I will William. I am here to help you. Just tell me where this place is. I can't see anything in here. Did you get a look at some boards or maybe some signs when you were brought here?"
William thought for few seconds and shook his head "He's coming! He will kill me!" Barry looked around to but saw no one in the room except for one door that seem to be partially open. He ran and shut the door close, placing the lock. The hero ran back to William "See. No one will come now" The boy kept staring at the door as if expecting it to burst open any second
"How did you contact me buddy? Why me?" Barry asked to distract William from the door. The boy held his hand out and opened his palm. Barry's eyes went wide seeing the two small items "How did you get these?"
"Dad" was the only word William said before he started screaming "He's here! He will come! He will kill me! I want Daddy! I want Daddy!"
"William? There is no one here kid. I locked the door!" Barry took a step closer and suddenly he felt uncomfortable. He was starting to feel hot with small beads of sweat forming on his forehead. The temperature of the room was rising as the seconds went by and then came the blinding pain in his head. The door to the room opened with a bang and the hero yelled as he dropped to his knees "Caitlin...get me...out of here!"

Oliver impatiently paced around the cortex. His eyes moving to the room where Barry was sleeping. Joe and Iris had informed the group that Barry had fallen asleep. Not wanting to disturb Barry they decided to stay in cortex and monitor his vitals. Oliver was still baffled at situation. A part of him was glad that William had contacted Barry or else he would never be able to find his son. Though he was also scared for his friend and hoped Barry would suffer less
"I am so scared" said Iris looking at her father
Joe hugged his daughter "I know Iris but you know Barry. He's not going to let go until William is found"
Suddenly the cortex was filled with the loud sound of monitor beeping. Caitlin rushed to check the screen "His vitals are dropping" she ran to the med bay followed by rest of the team. All carrying a worried and frantic look on their faces.
When they reached inside the med bay Barry was thrashing on the bed. His hands were fisted tightly and legs kicked unknown forces. Caitlin rushed towards his friend. She shook his arms "Barry! Barry listen to me. It's not real. Oh my God...he's burning up again"
Joe ran up to his son and touched his forehead "Jesus! Barry!" Oliver and Cisco caught Barry's thrashing legs "Barry calm down buddy"
"We need to wake him up now! Barry!" Caitiln yelled at her friend. Barry let out gut wrenching scream as he kept struggling to get free. "Barry wake up! It's not real" this time Oliver raised his voice but it did no good as Barry's eyes let out stream of tears. Iris held her hand over her mouth and cried "Somebody do something!"

Barry saw with his blurry vision as a man entered the room. William started to cry loudly as he curled himself into a small ball. The speedster got up but swayed "Who...are you? What...do you want?" He gasped when the pain in his head doubled
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Joe saw with wide eyes as his son let out another painful yell "Why isn't he waking up? Barry...son please wake up!"
"He's temperature is still rising. If he doesn't wake up soon then he will suffer from brain damage" Caitlin said looking at her team
Suddenly Iris came up with an idea "Cisco! You can vibe Barry and pull him back" All eyes were on the engineer now who looked at his friend on the bed. Barry was his friend and he would do anything to ease his suffering "Okay...okay...I can do this" he removed his hands off Barry's legs "Everybody step back"
When Joe Caitlin and Oliver moved a step back Cisco came close to Barry. He placed his hand on his friend's shoulder ready to vibe him when a sudden force crashed on him that send him flying towards the wall behind them. Cisco fell on the floor with a loud thud wincing when his back got hurt in the process
"Cisco!" Caitlin ran to her friend and helped him to stand "Are you alright?" Cisco nodded weakly "It's not working. Someone blocked my powers. I couldn't get to him"

The hodded man pulled out a knife and slowly walked towards the young hero. Barry fell again on the floor "Please...stop!" he pushed his legs backwards to get away from the approaching man. William's piercing cries were attacking his mind with full force

"What do we do now! He's getting worse" Joe asked in general as he continuously tried to wake his son "Barr! Wake up!"
A thought struck in Oliver's head "Miss Snow! Remove all the wires from Barry's body" he ordered to the doctor
"What?!" asked a shocked Caitlin
Oliver yelled at her "Just do it! I have an idea" he ran out of the med bay. Cailtin removed all the wires connected to Barry who was still whimpering on the bed. A minute later Oliver came back with a bucket of water that had ice cubes in it "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" the vigilante yelled
When his path was cleared Oliver dumped the cold water on his friend. With a loud gasp Barry shot upright and coughed violently. Relief flooded in each person's heart on seeing Barry awake. The speedster started shivering who still looked dazed and unsure of his surroundings. Joe looked at Cisco "Get ma a towel and new T shirt for him!"
"Barry? Are you okay?" asked Cisco but Barry kept trembling on the bed
Oliver gently placed his hand on Barry's shoulder but pulled back immediately when the hero flinched at the touch "Barry? Hey...you are okay...look at me" the vigilante was deeply concerned about his friend. At the moment all that mattered was to calm Barry down
Barry's eyes travelled to each person present in the room, lastly falling on Oliver "Oliver?"
Oliver nodded "It's me. You are back with us" Barry shivered again and suddenly hugged the older man. He let the tears fall from his eyes "I am... sorry... William... Ollie..he's..." The older man placed his hand at the back of Barry's head and other rubbed between his shoulder blades "It's okay kid. Calm down. We will talk about it later"
"But.." Barry hiccupped and Oliver tightened his hold protectively "No Barry. I said we will talk later. Just take small breaths okay. Everything is going to be alright"
Cisco brought a towel and new pair of clothes for Barry. Oliver pulled back "Change your clothes and let Miss Snow check you" Barry gave a small nod in response. Just when everyone started walking out to give him privacy, Barry spoke in small voice "I know how William is contacting me"
