Adrian came back with a bloody shirt and a huge grin on his face. "Ollie I told you not to shoot him!" Barry yelled. "Relax Barry. I only shot his arm." Oliver tried to get him to calm down. Barry told Adrian to go get a checkup from Caitlyn and he happily obliged. "You look tired. What happened?" Barry asked. "Your grandson happened. I tried that thing I did on you when we first trained. He ran at me, caught the first arrow I shot at him. And caught the other 2 arrows I set up unlike you." Oliver explained and got a glare from Barry.
"Then I told him to do it again. But he had to do it blindfolded. I thought he wouldn't agree but he did. So he put on a blind fold, ran a few meters and caught the first arrow I shot at him. The next two arrows went straight through him." Oliver continued. "I knew that shooting arrows at him wouldn't work so I told him to fight me with no speed."
Barry was on the floor laughing hysterically because of what Oliver said. "What is so funny?"
"The only way you could beat my grandson was if he was blindfolded with no speed! It looks like you are losing your touch." Barry teased. "What can I say? The kid is skilled but is too cocky. By the way, what is an X-box?"
"It's a game console. Why?"
"Long story short, we made a bet and now I owe him a bow and an X-box."

Barry could not believe what he just heard. What could have happened to Daniel that drove him to murder his own father? All that came out of Barry's mouth was 'Why'. Adrian was just as surprised as Barry but he decided to do something about it instead of ask questions.
Adrian grabbed the bars and tried phasing out again but this time, he didn't stop when it shocked him. "That's not a good idea kid." Daniel advised. Adrian didn't stop; he fought through the pain and kept vibrating. The smug look on Daniel's face was fading and Barry knew it was working. But Adrian's eyes were turning red just like Thawne's and it was unnerving. In an explosion of red and white light, Adrian was out of his cell.
When the light was gone, Barry saw Daniel holding Adrian up with his shirt. "Did you really think you could get out of there and beat me? You've got potential kid. I'll make you a deal, ditch that snail over there and join me, we could rule the multi-verse!" Daniel said. Adrian broke free of Daniel's hand and hit him with his head. "Sorry uncle D, but I'll never join the dark side!"

This time, everyone trusted Barry and they were ready to follow his lead. Suddenly, they got a message from the dominators. "We told you not to retaliate and now you will pay for your insolence. Hand over the meta-human named Barry Allen and we will retreat in peace. Failure to do so will result in countless fatalities because we will release a weapon that will eliminate the entire meta-human population. You have 24 hours."
Barry had already made up his mind, he was going to give himself up. Oliver was trying to talk him out of doing it. "Yep, their mother ship has a massive bomb. Estimated casualties are 2 million." Cisco informed. Once Adrian was checked up, he got a new shirt and went to the hangar.
"So what's new?" Adrian said to Artemis. "The aliens want your grandfather and he wants to give himself up."
"He is so predictable. Where is he now?"
"Oliver is trying to talk him out of it. I heard you trained with him, how'd it go?"
"Well I got a bloody shirt, a bow and an X-box so pretty good."
Artemis nodded and went to get some advice from Sara. Adrian was still determined to get her to smile. Oliver came back with a blank expression on his face and they knew it didn't go well. "Where's Barry?" Felicity asked with concern. "I don't know, he agreed to not turn himself in then he ran off to god knows where." Oliver replied with a little frustration. Before Felicity could ask more questions, Adrian fell to the floor and screamed in agony.
Caitlyn rushed to check out what happened. "Oliver! What did you do?!" Felicity yelled. "He didn't do anything." Professor Stein said calmly. Everyone was looking at him for an explanation. "From what I was told, he is Barry's grandchild and they are from the same timeline: the pre-flashpoint timeline. If Barry dies, so does he since he is directly linked to Barry."

What happened next was a blur even to Barry. Once his eyes adjusted, Adrian was back in his cell and unconscious. "He won't be alive much longer if you don't start running!" Daniel yelled. Barry just stared at him. He opened Adrian's cell and started beating him. "Stop! I'm running!" Barry said as he started running on the special treadmill. Daniel smirked and put his hand next to Adrian's heart and pushed firmly on his chest.
"What are you doing Daniel? Can't you see I'm running?!"
Daniel ignored Barry and closed the cell and went to sit on a chair. "You really don't know anything about the speed force. I transferred some of my energy to him to temporarily speed up his rate of healing." Daniel said in a disappointing tone. Barry went wide eyed as all the cuts and bruises healed in a matter of seconds. "Here's a funny thing, he is the second unlucky speedster that called me uncle. Maybe they are siblings. The first one is barely alive though."

While Professor Stein completed the device to harm the dominators; Adrian was being taken to the med bay. He suddenly jerked awake, surprising everyone. "What happened?" Adrian asked with confusion.
"Barry turned himself in and in doing so, almost erased you from existence." Caitlyn informed.
Adrian got up and started panicking, "That's not good. They are coming for me. Oh no." Adrian was now pacing up and down. "You mean the time wraiths?" Caitlyn asked. Adrian just nodded.
"Since I'm a speedster, I have a degree of immunity against timeline changes. They are coming to correct that. It's coming." Adrian continued. A few seconds later, a high pitched shriek was heard from the outside of the hangar. Meanwhile, Cisco tried talking to Barry through his vibe.
Suddenly, red lightning was all over the place. It stopped a few paces from Adrian. It was wearing a matt black suit but part of the mask was ripped off, showing rotten skin and pale white eyes. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks when they saw the figure.
"Is that Zoom?" Felicity asked seeing only the back of the speedster, which reminded her of the speedster that broke Barry's back. "C'mon speed force, I thought we were cool. And I thought you sent time wraiths to deal with this kind of stuff. That is not a time wraith" Adrian said out loud. "Zolomon! Leave him alone" Caitlyn yelled at the speedster.
'Barry there is a speedster zombie here trying to kill Adrian so you better get your ass here before I open up a portal and drag you here.' Cisco said to Barry in his vibe
"Zolomon, as in Hunter Zoom Zolomon?" Adrian asked. The zombie looked at Caitlyn for a second and looked back at Adrian. The zombie held out its hand as it caught and arrow fired by Oliver. And then another arrow fired by Artemis. The zombie roared and attacked Adrian. The bystanders tried to follow the fight but all they could see were two trails of red lightning, one slightly lighter than the other.
The lightning trails ended up outside and they went to check it out. The zombie was choking Adrian with one hand and it seemed to be draining him. Adrian was becoming paler until he did the same to the zombie. "My evil uncle taught me how to do that." Adrian said as his color went back to normal. Adrian sped behind him and kicked him right on the spine, breaking the zombie's back. "And that's for my grandfather." Adrian said as he plopped onto the floor panting heavily.
"Black Flash is getting back up guys." Cisco informed and got approving looks from the team. The zombie got back up and put its back into place, roared and grabbed Adrian by the throat. Adrian, who was too drained to fight back, just let him continue. Everyone watched helplessly as the Black Flash lifted his vibrating hand, ready to deliver the final blow.
