Hi friends! Thank you so much for reading this story and letting me know you guys are still with me. Back with next chapter. Sorry for mistakes.

Enjoy :-)))

"Barry!" yelled Joe in shock. The world suddenly froze around him. Iris sobbed beside him and Oliver took a step back "No" he whispered brokenly

"We need to shock him! Cisco attach the defibrillator!" Caitlin raised her voice as she got a injection ready. Cisco dropped the cooling pads and pushed Joe out of the way. He tore Barry's Tshirt with a scissor and quickly placed the small white pads "I'm ready!"

Caitlin charged the electronic device "Clear!" she pressed and everybody saw Barry's body lurch upwards. The doctor turned to see at the monitor

Nothing

"C'mon Barry breathe!" Caitlin tried again. All waited with baited breath but again nothing happened. Oliver's eyes then fell on Barry's wrists "Cisco remove the power dampening cuffs. He needs his powers to heal. I'm sure it will work" The engineer nodded and quickly removed the cuffs

"Again! Miss Snow try one more time" Oliver said with raced heartbeats and saw her press the charger on Barry's chest

"Breathe kid! Please don't do this"

IN DREAM

Barry saw black spots dance infront of his eyes. With every second that passed if was getting difficult for him to breathe. He clawed at the man's hand but was too weak to free himself. William yelled as tears fell from his eyes "No! Let him go! Please don't hurt him"

The man remained unfazed by the cries of the small boy and added more pressure. William rushed and tried to pull the man away "He's my friend. Let him go! Sir please.. I'll tell you...I'll tell you how it works"

The man finally stopped on hearing William's words "You'll tell me how it works?" The boy nodded so he pried his hands off Barry's neck. The hero took a last gasp and his eyes rolled at the back of his head and slowly slid down on the floor

William was on Barry's side within seconds. He was still holding the metal piece along with the flash symbol which he unknowingly placed on Barry's chest "Are you okay?" Suddenly the metal piece glowed for few seconds and the light disappeared before William or the man could process what happened. Barry's body vanished from the room leaving the boy alone with the hooded man

AT STAR LABS

"Barry breathe Dammit!"

The wait was killing them and their hopes of seeing Barry alive. Iris broke down and Joe stood shell shocked. Everyone in the room had given up hope when a faint beeping sound echoed in the silent room. They saw Barry gasp with eyes wide opening with fear

"He's back! We got him!" Cisco clapped, eyes filling with happy tears. All of a sudden Barry started to scramble off the bed as if he was still in his dream. He looked disoriented, trying hard to get the seizing hands off him. Oliver and Caitlin were having trouble keeping the hero in bed "Barry calm down! You're okay...calm down"

Barry's actions became more frantic as he started throwing punches missing Caitlin's face by inches. He ripped off the wires and Iv's that were hooked on him. Joe pushed her out of the way "Barr! Stop! C'mon son...take it easy" he caught Barry's arms and Oliver held his legs "Barry you're in the labs..you're not there anymore. Come back to us" the vigilante pleaded

Cisco Caitlin and Iris could only watch how it took ten minutes for Barry to finally calm down. He wheezed out heavy breaths when his eyes fell on his wrists. The hero was glad the cuffs were removed and he felt his healing powers were slowly doing its work. He felt bone tired and wary but being in his father's strong arms calmed him a lot who was holding him tightly and murmured soft words while rubbing his back

Iris brought a glass of water and made Barry drink and helped him lay back down. His eyes shifted where Oliver was stood and Joe's jaw clenched "Barr it can wait. You need to rest" Barely managing to keep himself awake, Barry shook his head and motioned his friend to come closer. Oliver took a step forward and couldn't control his anger "You're an idiot. I can't even...I just don't know what to say kid...how could you...you died Barry...we all saw you die"

"I...I know...where is William" Barry's voice was so small but Olivier heard it and so did the others in the room. A new ray of hope rushed in his body, eyes filling with tears as Oliver asked "You found..my son?"

Barry nodded and closed his tired eyes "I...woke up..and saw a sign...outside the place...where Will is held..I saw his face too.." This time Joe's eyes widened "You saw the man who kidnapped William?"

Barry nodded again and cracked his eyes open "He is... Will's science teacher"

"What!?"

"I saw him...when he was...strangling me.." Barry said and it made Joe's anger boil in his veins "Barry are you sure? I thought he's a good guy" Cisco asked looking shocked.

"I'm sure"

"That man fooled us. Maybe that's why he came back after three days so no one could doubt him. He surely must've seen Will use the alien piece" Iris said connecting the dots

"Yeah and now he wants to learn how to use it. But why?" Cisco frowned thinking but no one had an answer

We...need to hurry...he was hurting Will" Barry gingerly got up only to be pushed back in the bed by Joe "What do think you're doing? Have you seen yourself? You can hardly keep your eyes open Barr"

"Barry you did your job. Now it's our turn. I'm going to bring Will back home" Oliver placed his hand on his shoulder "Thank you"

"You guys can't go without me"

"Barr.."

"You're not fit to go"

"You need rest"

Barry ignored all their protests and raised his own voice "No! This is my fight too. You cannot bench me on this case. I'm healing and feel fine. Joe Oliver please let me come"

The detective and Oliver shared a look. Though not hundered percent on the same side, they both agreed on one thing. Nothing was going to stop Barry from coming with them. The young stubborn hero was going to find one way or the other and join them. Still Oliver didn't say a word. This was not his decision. He couldn't give permission not when Barry's father was in the same room

"Joe please"

Joe sighed feeling defeated by his son "You can come" Barry smiled broadly and looked at his friend "We'll bring him back Ollie. Let's go get your son home"
