The Flash- The Beginning
Sorry for not updating since months ago. I'm still alive, the "earthquake" of LA hasn't gotten me. I just have been dealing with a type of depression. No one close to me knows that I had depression since I was, thankfully, able to conceal. But if someone who knows me irl reads this please don't be telling other people. Please. So ok people. So most of you will probably hate me for what I'm about to do, but I promise that this will not ruin Snow/Barry. This is something that I just have to do for the sake of story progression. So please forgive me for what this story will bring all you Snow/Barry fans. T_T I am also sorry for skipping all the way up to here but my deadline passed and this is the only way I will be able to make "Progress"
"Why are you so happy Barry?" my sister asked as soon as I entered.
She was lying down on the sofa HG Wells War of the world with the tv on to some action movie. Her legs were hanging on the armrest while her head was on the opposite end. She was wearing a tank top that revealed her stomach and a mini-skirt.
"Won't Joe be mad that you're dressed like that?" I asked her.
"Oh please I'm not a child anymore, besides I'm old enough to know the 'Stranger Danger' people, and I'm not going to lose my…"
"Whoa whoa whoa, Ok I get it just don't go that far sis, remember I'm still your younger brother," I cut her off before she could finish.
"Don't change the subject," she scolded me.
She got up from the sofa and walked to me. "Besides why are you so embarrassed about talking about that? Haven't you already experienced it with Iris?" She then got up and pressed herself next to me and whispered into my ear seductively, "Didn't she like it? Don't tell me that you messed it… u-p," she said next to my ear making me blush.
"No it's, uh, uhm… I'd rather not talk about something like that," I said embarrassed.
She peeled herself away smiling and jumped back onto the couch this time her feet were on the coffee table.
"Wow what a rebel," I told her.
"I know right? Want some?" she offered me some chili fries that she was eating.
"No thanks," I wondered where they were because when I came in they weren't on the table and now they were there.
"So why so happy?"
"I got a date with Caitlin."
"Pfft," she spit out her fries in surprise. "What! A date?! But weren't you supposed to win at mini golf to earn it?" she asked practically screaming.
"Yeah but fortunately for me, I think she forgot."
"Oh trust me no one can forget the epic failure you had at mini golf." she snickered popping another fry into her mouth.
-=-=-=Flashback=-=-=-
"Ready for my most awesomest move Cait?" Barry asked pretending to swing.
"Swing away little bro!" Jace called from beside the tree.
She had been talking to Cisco about some mini golfing strategies that she used to win some tournaments from way back in the day. Heh she makes it sound like a long time ago. I powered up my swing and struck the ball hard. It bounced of one of the arms of the windmill and rocketed into the window of a mini restraunt.
"Ahh!" several shrieks sounded out from inside.
-=-=-=Min. Later=-=-=-
"You are banned from ever coming here again!" the owner said with his face as red as a tomato.
He slammed the gates and locked it to prove his point.
"Look at what you've done now Barry!" Jace scolded me.
"I don't know I think it was pretty funny," Caitlin said laughing.
"True that sister," Cisco said through mouthfuls of his corndog.
He and Caitlin high fived in triumph as Jace began laughing. Caitlin's phone began vibrating, interrupting the celebration. She took it out of the pocket and flipped it open to take a looksie. Her face crinkled up into her adorable expression of when she has to make a decision.
"What's wrong Kate?" I asked kissing her.
"I have to go my dad needs help on the PA," she said solemnly.
"Again with the PA?! When will you let that rest for at least a few days? It's taking over your life!" I practically screamed at her.
"It is my life. I've been working on it for such a long time that it's become a part of me!"Caitlin said at the brink of tears.
"Just leave please, just do it if you want. Cause you know what? I don't care anymore." I said upset.
I knew that Caitlin was starting to cry but I was so furious that I didn't even care anymore. I turned to look at her. Tears streamed down her eyes, she looked at me frightened with unrecognition. I used to be the shy guy who wouldn't know what to do around a girl as beautiful as her but the whole PA ordeal changed me alot. Even I didn't recognize myself. Caitlin turned around and ran to her car sobbing. Jace and Cisco stared at me in disbelief.
-=-=-=December 24, 2015=-=-=-
"You should call Caitlin you know," my sister had been insisting on me calling her since last week.
"I've already tried calling her today and she didn't answer Besides she's busy today with the grand opening of the PA."
I honestly didn't think that for a second. I knew the real reason why she wasn't answering any of my calls or texts. A few weeks ago we had a huge fight about her interest in the PA. But that was no ordinary fight. I left her balling her eyes out after that fight. That was just unforgivable. I knew that and I've been trying to make it up to her since. I knew that I was pushing my luck every time we fought about the same thing, but I never learned, proven fact.
=-=-FB-=-=
"What is wrong with you?! Your obsession with the PA isn't healthy anymore! I mean you haven't come out of Star Labs for 2 weeks until now!" I yelled at Caitlin.
"You wouldn't understand! You didn't work your entire life on this!"
"Your right. I didn't work my entire life on that… Particle Accelerator. And I never would either after seeing what it's doing to you."
"Know what? Just get away from here. I freaking hate you and I wish I never met you!" she screamed.
She threw a couch cushion she had hugging tight at me. "Fine! You're not the girl I fell in love with anyway," I stormed out of the house slamming the door shut behind me.
I hesitated and stood a bit there. My hand idled above the door knob thinking whether or not I should go back in. Instead I knocked.
"Hey Cait, please forgive me I'm so sorry," I said softly.
"Go away," she sobbed.
I turned around and ran as fast as I could.
=-=-Present-=-=
I'd better go and take this evidence of Mom to the search." I excused myself.
I started heading out the door with my coat and box.
"Wait I'll drive you," Jace stopped me.
She hurried up from her place on the couch and scrambled in search for her keys and coat. She has her own apartment but that doesn't stop her from spending most of the time here on her favorite place, the couch. She found her car keys underneath a cushion and got her coat of the hook in next to the door. Putting her coat on she headed out the door. I put my stuff on the back seat and got into the passenger seat. Along the way to CCPD she detoured and pulled out of the main st.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Big Belly Burger. I don't know about you but I'm hungry."
My stomach growled at the thought of food reminding me that the only thing that I threw in my stomach was the morning's breakfast.
"Fine," I relented as Big Belly Burger came into sight.
"I wasn't asking for permission." she grinned.
"May I take your order?" A redheaded girl in her early twenties asked politely.
"I'll have a triple cheeseburger, extra cheese, large fries, and a coke. You want anything Bear?" The amount of food she ordered for herself was astounding considering that the burgers might as well be heads by just the sheer size.
"Uh… I'll just have whatever is on special," I said uncertainly.
"Order up! Oh by the way you two make a cute couple," the girl said before running to the back before we could protest.
We just looked at each other and laughed. Both of us never really looked at all like each other. I looked more like my dad and Jace looked like mom. So it was common that people never believed that we were related. We the stuff as take out and continued to CCPD. Jace didn't even wait until we got there. She was already starting to devour her burger while driving. If eating and driving were illegal then Jace would have the world record for most tickets for most tickets ever. When we arrived Jace carried the food and opened the door for me, while I brought down the evidence.
"Ladies first," she laughed.
"Such a gentleman," I joked too.
There were a few people on-duty during the night shift that were surprised to see an intern so late at night Jace immediately switched on the tv to the channel with the PA being reported on.
-We only have 5 more minutes until the Particle Accelerator is turned on marking a new era for us-
Iris was the reporter there. Jace looked at the tv thinking.
"When was the last time we actually saw Iris in person Barry?" she asked me.
"Well I think it's been a couple of months."
I wasn't really sure because it felt like more time than that. Ignoring the question I started hanging up newspaper clippings on the billboard for all my investigations.
"Are you going to eat that?" Jace asked through a mouthful of fries pointing at my burger.
"Of course I am you greedy…" I stood looking for a word.
"Bastard?" she offered.
"If that's what you want to call yourself," I snickered.
"I can't believe that I just played right into that," she said hitting me.
"How can you even eat so much and not gain weight though?" I asked her trying to avoid her barrages.
-And the Particle Accelerator has just turned on- The tv played in the background.
"I don't know. Fast Metabolism?" "Anyway why didn't you go to the PA opening?"
"Because I have nothing to do there?" I said shrugging her off.
"You know very well that that is not true."
I walked over to one of my case files and took out a microscope slide. "Pass me the chloride," I ordered ignoring her question.
"Which one is it?" she asked in front of the cabinet of chemicals.
"The green solution."
A clap of thunder made us both jump. The skylight in the middle of the room was starting to let the water leak in causing a mess on the floor.
"Can you please shut the sky thingy," Jace asked looking at it.
"Fine."
I made my way to the chain that was connected to it and began pulling on it. A flash of golden light pulled my gaze to the window. Caitlin. I thought as I saw the sphere come from Star Labs.
"Uh Barry?" Jace called to me with nervousness in her voice.
I turned to her and saw the chemicals floating out of their beakers and into the air. I turned up to the sky and looked. The next things happened in slowly. A bolt of lightning shattered through the glass, the end of it extended into a hand. Jace's screaming resonated through the building warning everyone. The bolt was mere inches from my face. The moment it touched me it sent a shudder through my whole body. It threw me backwards into Jace and the cabinet throwing chemicals onto both of us.
=-=-=-Caitlin-=-=-=
-...Please let me make it up to you Caitlin, just call me when you get this please-
I replayed the message for the 20th time still thinking about what Barry was saying in it.
"Caitlin you okay?" Cisco asked me.
"Y-yeah I'm fine."
A jolt moved the entire building causing everyone to panic.
"Caitlin what's going on?" My dad asked me.
"It seems that something destabilized in the Particle Accelerator and the Cryostation is malfunctioning too." I gave him the report. "I'm going to go check on the Cryostation. I'll be right back dad." I ran off in the direction of the room.
From the corner of my eye I spotted Cisco and Ronnie running of to the Particle Accelerator. Good Luck. I picked up my pace and arrived at the door and swiped my admin keycard. I pushed it open and entered. I shivered from the cold. I breathed out and saw my breath crystalize. Hugging myself I ventured into the room focusing on the fogged up control panel of the Cryostation that kept the PA from overheating. I punched in some codes and pulled up the schematics that showed several red parts of the room. It indicated the tubes that were shifting places. The creak of the door startled me. I turned to see that the door shut in on me.
"No, no, no, no," I started panicking.
I banged on the door yelling for help. He hallway started glowing red with the emergency lights.
-Lockdown Commencing, Admin pass 39752-
The female robotic voice repeated a few times.
"Why Cisco why?" I asked the empty room after recognizing his Admin pass.
I slid down to the floor in defeat with my head shoved into my hands. The building started shaking again. I'm so sorry Barry, that I let the stupid PA come between us. Several pipes in the room snapped off releasing the icy gas. I don't want to die yet, I thought pitifuly. The pipe above me snapped off blowing the gas onto me.

"Time of death, 10:57 am. Mark it." One of the doctors ordered a nurse.
A brunette girl rested on the gurney suffering from frostbite. She was found in Star Labs after the explosion cleared. She was still breathing when she was brought into the hospital.
"Cause of death Severe Frostbite. I don't know how that is possible but it somehow is."
