Adrian woke up with a headache and in a bad mood. "How long was I out?" Adrian asked. "About 2 weeks." Barry replied. When they were in the future, they learned that they could speak telepathically through the speed force. 'Did we get him?' Adrian sent to Barry. 'Yea we did.' Barry sent back. Cisco noticed what was happening and asked "What are you guys doing?" Barry laughed and told him "We learnt how to speak telepathically via speed force. It's really handy." While Cisco was questioning Barry on how it worked, Caitlyn was giving Adrian a checkup.
"Could you fill me in on what happened while we were gone?" Adrian asked Caitlyn. "Jessie took down a monster which was not a monster but a hologram and a meta who was a shadow with the help of Dr Light. HR is not a scientist but a novelist. Wally got powers and a speedster named Savitar attacked Barry and I saved him my powers and I kinda went evil for a while." Caitlyn summarized. "So Wally is Kid Flash now?" Adrian asked. "Is that all you got from what I said? Kid Flash?" Caitlyn asked with a hint of frustration in her voice. "Don't worry, I heard the part of you going evil and all 'kissy kissy' on Barry." Adrian teased. Caitlyn cheeks went crimson and she hit Adrian on the shoulder. "Ow… I'm supposed to be healing remember." Adrian said while laughing. "Who told you about that anyway? You just woke up." Caitlyn asked curiously. "Heh Barry did, telepathically. He cannot control it properly and that was on his mind at the moment." Adrian told Caitlyn with a wink. Caitlyn had no idea Barry thought of their kiss up till now even though it wasn't a kiss. "I was trying to kill him!" Caitlyn protested but her cheeks betrayed her. "Say whatever you want Cait, I'm going to get some food to eat."
A few hours later, Wally came up to Adrian and asked him to race him. The track was Central City and they had to go around it three times. Adrian let Wally win up to the third lap where he planned on zooming past Wally put got interrupted when a spaceship crashed. What came out of the spaceship was nothing Adrian had ever seen. He read stories and watched movies but he never thought he would come face to face with them; Aliens.

They were only a few meters to the security room and their mission was almost done. All they had to do was disable the alarms and the cameras. Barry was confident, Adrian was not so sure. They had met the man they were up against and he was no man. He was a demon and he called himself the Reverse-Flash. When they got in the security room, the guards who were there left because their shift had ended. The doctor was right, they change every hour. "Barry we have been compromised. That guy knew it was us!" Adrian told his grandfather. "That's impossible Adrian. And even if he knew, we can't abort the mission now." Barry replied while disabling the security cameras. "I thought the Reverse Flash wore yellow. Is that him?" "No. This guy must have taken up his mantle."
Artemis was on the roof when the signal went off. She made her way through the palace with the utmost stealth avoiding guards and workers. She met up with Barry and Adrian on the fourth floor which was one floor below the Reverse Flash's room. "Everything went according to plan." Barry informed after he changed into his suit. "Now all we have to do is draw him out and get the workers and guards to safety if things go south." Barry continued. "Everything went according to plan indeed!" The Reverse Flash said right before he knocked them out.

Adrian called Barry to show him what he had seen and Barry informed the team a few minutes later. "Aliens! Are they alien aliens or little green men?" Cisco asked. "Both. Layla gave us intel on them. They are called the dominators and they are not here peacefully." Barry informed. "How are we gonna stop this alone Barry?" Iris asked. "I don't plan to." Barry said before speeding off to Star City.
"Wally, are you up for a rematch or a round of training?" Adrian asked Wally. Wally was about to reply but Iris interrupted him. "No training for Wally. Not soon. He just got his powers and it's dangerous." Iris scolded. Adrian knew better than to argue with his grandmother so he just quietly went to Cisco and Wally sped off in anger. "Yo Cisco, I need you to make me something since Barry won't let me have a suit." Adrian said as he pulled out a piece of paper with drawings on it. "This is extremely detailed and awesome! It would be an honor to build this." Cisco said while bowing sarcastically. Adrian laughed and went to find Wally. "Cisco, how about me you and Barry go get some drinks when all this is over?" Caitlyn asked. "That would be nice." Cisco replied
The team was called to a large open space with a hangar next to it which belongs to Star Labs. Barry arrived a few minutes after everyone was gathered with a woman in blue and red. "Everyone, this is my friend, Supergirl." Barry announced. "Team Legends, Team Flash, Team Arrow and Supergirl!" Felicity confirmed. "This is gonna be the best team up ever" both Felicity and Cisco said at the same time. Artemis was with team Arrow and she asked Barry how Adrian was doing. Barry told her he was awake and he was doing just fine. "Why isn't he here? He should be helping or do you still not trust him to go on missions with you?" Artemis asked. "It's complicated." Barry shrugged. "I suggest we do a test run against Kara." Oliver said.
Professor Stein and Jax called Barry to their time ship so they could show him a message they got from future Barry. Future Barry told them that he changed the timeline and that they should not trust anyone and especially Barry. Jax thought that they should share this information with the team but Oliver said it was not a good idea telling everyone their lives had changed when they were about to fight aliens.

When Barry woke up, he found himself in a small cell next to Artemis and Adrian in neighboring cells similar to his own. "Adrian, Artemis wake up!" Barry yelled as he knocked on their cells. Adrian stirred and once he took in his surroundings, got up and tried to phase out of his cell but no avail. "That won't work young speedster. That cell is made to harm speedsters if they tried to phase so I would stop if I were you." The Reverse Flash said as the bars shocked Adrian a few seconds later. "Told ya. I've got to hand it to you doc, you did a pretty good job convincing them that they could take me out." He continued as Dr Elias came into the room with a laptop. He had betrayed them. "Dr Elias! Why?" Barry exclaimed. "It's simple really. I chose the winning side." He said as he hooked his laptop to an outlet.
A few minutes later, Barry's cell turned into a treadmill. "Here is what is going to happen. You are going to run as much as you can until you can't run anymore, eat some food and then do it all again tomorrow." The Reverse Flash said. "And why would I do that?" Barry said. "I want to rewind time and stop you from creating Flashpoint. When you run on the treadmill, it absorbs the speed force energy and the more speed force energy I have, the farther I'll be able to go back. So run Barry, run!" he explained. "That won't work, if you go back in time, you will go to the past of this timeline not the other one. Who are you and how do you know about all of this?" Barry asked. "Oh it seems like you don't know. Rewinding time is different from time travelling to the past. That way you can reverse what has been done. Hence the name Reverse Flash. I think you knew my father when he was your protégé. I think he went by the name Kid Flash."

Barry and Oliver were in the time vault when Cisco told them to go to the cortex. "They are attacking the building!" Barry exclaimed when he saw what was happening. Supergirl, the Legends, Thea and Diggle were attacking them for some reason. After they found out about Flashpoint, they left for the mission without Barry because they could not trust him. Oliver and Artemis stayed back because they supported Barry, now they were being attacked by their own teammates. Barry was fighting Supergirl, the Atom and Firestorm while Artemis and Oliver were fighting the rest. Wally decided to go help Barry but ended up getting knocked out by Kara. Barry had to ask Oliver to take Wally to the med bay while he went to disrupt the signal that was causing the team to go nuts. "Now would be a good time to call Adrian!" Artemis yelled. Barry complied and ran to the warehouse which the signal was coming from and tried to contact Adrian telepathically.
When Artemis was cornered with no arrows left, Adrian came to the rescue and knocked her pursuers (Heat wave, Firestorm and Speedy) out. "You sure like taking your time huh." Artemis said while going to get some arrows from Thea's quiver. "I was going for fashionably late." He shrugged. "I see you've joined team arrow. Nice suit." Her suit was bright green and her cowl had an opening to let her hair out. "I have been her for a few months and I get no suit but you got one in two weeks! I should have joined team Arrow." Adrian pouted. "Barry still doesn't trust you. You need to prove to your team that you are capable then maybe he will start to trust you. And right now is a good opportunity." Artemis lectured.
Barry had successfully destroyed the device that whammied them by using Kara and everyone was back to normal. Oliver pulled Barry aside to ask him a few question. "Who is that speedster?" Oliver asked. "That is my grandson from the future I told you about when I brought Artemis to you." Barry explained. "Why doesn't he have a suit yet?" Oliver continued. "It's complicated." Barry sighed. "Ok you guys figure out a way to defeat the aliens while I go train him." Oliver ordered. "Just don't shoot him like you shot me Ollie." Barry pleaded. "I'll try but I'm not making any promises."
2066
Barry was confused because he didn't have a protégé that went by the name Kid Flash. Heck he didn't even have a protégé. "Do you know what he is talking about?" Barry asked his grandson. "Kid Flash, you get a sidekick named Kid Flash." Adrian replied with a cold voice. "Go on kid, tell him who my father is." He demanded. "Wally West was Kid Flash. That means you are Uncle Daniel?" Adrian asked the speedster. "That's right kid. If you know that, it means you are either from another universe or another timeline." Daniel said. "Wally got powers?! And that is his son?!" Barry exclaimed. The evil speedster's mask just dissipated revealing a man in his 30's who looks very similar to Wally. "I don't believe we have been properly introduced. Daniel West." He said in such a way that you wouldn't believe that he is evil. "And to answer your previous question on the whereabouts of my father, Wallace J. West died by my hands on September 8th 2058." He said with absolutely no emotion.
A/N: If you have read the New 52's The Flash, then you know Daniel West is the Reverse Flash. He is also Wally's father so I switched things up a bit. To the reviewer who asked for Zoom, he will be showing up in a few chapters so continue to read and enjoy! The Invasion crossover should be wrapped up in the next chapter.
