The Death of the Flash

Hey guys and gals, been a while. I haven't updated anything in a while as I have been hopping on and off trains every day and I have never had a second to sit and write. It was maybe the busiest time of my life but it has slowed down just a little.

I said this at the end of the last chapter but I want to re iterate it, this is NOT the end of this story, there will always be challenges for Barry and Kara to face but I also have at least two other story ideas written down so keep an eye out for those.

Kara POV

I rushed Cisco into the centre of our briefing room, Barry had been missing too long and I can't deal with not knowing if he is safe or even alive. He was in my life for a short time but the hours we spent together were the best memories I could think of.

Cisco raised his hand while covering his eyes with his fancy light up goggles, soon a blue blob opened in mid air and I was first to jump through before looking to see if the others were following me.

As i hurtled through the blue vortex I could see images of Barry on his knees, liquid dripping from his mouth while kneeling over a body clad in blue.

Images passed in a blurry haze but I did as Barry would always say and kept running forward.

Before I could realise I broke through onto the new Earth and landed in a field, a split second later Jon and Clark landed gracefully on their feet and Jesse ran up next to them, looking around I saw no sign of Wally until a scream pierced my ears and I felt a large lump fall on my head.

Getting up I find that Wally fell from the sky with a little less finesse than the others as he landed in a heap on my head.

"Sorry about that, I didn't realise Cisco would drop us in the sky." I shoved him off with an *oomph

"Okay, how are we going to find Barry?" I announce with the other members of the team.

"That's not the plan Kara, we are to find and distract Black Flash. Let the others find Barry." Wally and Jesse quickly ran around scouting the area.

"Okay, Cisco seems to be having an off day as we are closer to Star City. Nevertheless, there are no people nearby, anything living is either a squirrel scared to death or a bird flying away." Jesse informed us.

"Okay, so what can we do to get this Black Flash to come out and play?" Clark spoke up.

"Well, he seems to have this need to be the only speedster, he also could sense when someone was using the speed force, I guess that is how he tracks Barry through the multiverse so if me and Jesse run, that should set off his sixth sense or something and might come to us." Wally explains.

"So, what? We just run in circles playing tag like children while a psycho corpse holds Barry hostage?!" Wally just shrugged his shoulders while nodding.

"Well, yeah. Me and Jesse will create the energy by running and it would be nice to have three aliens for back up, just take these coms, Cisco already connected them to mine and Jesses, we won't all be able to talk at the high speeds with all of our speed combined so make sure the coms are secure in your ear." Wally handed the three of us coms as Jesse already started running making a large circle and picking up a heavy breeze.

"This seems like a stupid idea to me but if it gets me a shot at Black Flash then you better start running. Fast." Wally took off with an apologetic smile as Clark and Jon placed the small devices in their ears, Jon took a little more time as the com was built for human anatomy, not Martians.

I looked between Jon and Clark before taking a deep breath and joining the running speedsters.

After minutes of running a dark shadow descended upon the field as clouds rolled in front of the sun as a shadow danced in the shadows of the speedsters lightning.

"Keep running, feed me your speed until you wither and die, or else Barry will never escape my prison!" The shadow broke away and in the centre of our circle now stood a dark figure, only illuminated by the crackling of a yellow lightning scythe in his right hand, showing his not so decrepit side.

Wally's voice rung through my ear "Is anyone else seeing the creepy dude with half a face and a bad ass scythe?" I could see the steadiness in Black Flashs posture like he had already won.

"Yeah, let's go show him what happens to people who mess with us and our friends!" Before Jesse could go off I was quick enough to protest.

"No, Jesse! He is faster than all of us; he would kill you before you could blink! Plus he is the only one who knows where Barry is, we need to play this out and see what happens." I tried to reason with them but I could tell no one was buying it.

"He is sapping our speed! I don't know how much longer I can go on for!" Wally said in a whiny tone.

"You will go on for as long as Barry needs you to! Cisco will be here soon, just keep running!" This seemed to rally the speedster as he pushed himself ahead of us as we struggled to keep up.

After ten more minutes of running and taunting we could feel the ground under us rumbling and shifting as Cisco broke our eardrums as he yelled through our coms "The cavalry is here baby!"

As he shouted through the coms two motorbikes jumped over a ridge to join us as they two figures on the back of the bikes let loose volley after volley of arrows that seemed to pass right through the Black Flash.

"Okay guys, we have three arrow shooting ninjas, a secret agent, three metas and three aliens. We can take on this freak! Let's go!" I shouted as Wally and Jesse launched themselves forward, strafing around the villain, throwing punches at super speed that only seemed to hit air.

Black Flash appeared to not be moving at all as arrows from the two Green Arrows and Speedy passed right through him and punches never seemed to connect.

Jon phased through the ground while Clark flew up above blasting him with heat vision. Black Flash was a blur of vibration that stood his ground as we unleashed the onslaught on him.

With a flash of light Wally and Jesse were pushed back, with a crimson cut spread across both of their abdomens, the scythe crackling with even more energy surging off of it.

Black Flash planted the scythe in the ground and twisted his arms, creating cyclones blowing Clark into the air only to come clashing back down to the Earth. Jon tried grabbing his feet from below but the corpse just lifted his hand gripping his ankle and pulled him from the ground before punching him back tour team.

"He is toying with us! We can't beat him! Even when we all hit him with everything he just stands there and mocks our attempts!" Oliver from my Earth called.

"Wait, Wally, you seem to have gotten a bit grey within the past ten seconds..." Oliver observed Wally and Jesse as they aged rapidly, sparks flying from their wound into the Black Flash's scythe.

"Did you really think all you misfits could beat me? I am the being you see before you die, I am the last thing you see before I end your puny, miserable life's on this wretched planet. You think I am trying o intimidate you when I say I am death? HAHA! No, it isn't a threat, it is a promise! That I will be each and every one of you, personnel grim reaper!" The black Flash waved his scythe around to signify how cocky he is about winning this fight.

Why shouldn't he be? He could kill us without wasting a second. But he doesn't just want to kill us, he wants to taunt us, let us stew in the knowledge of our imminent death.

But he knows that my life ended as soon as I learned that Barry was taken. I wouldn't eat or sleep. My whole life was consumed with finding a way to get Barry back and I have only been awake for half a day at most! I love him.

Eliza always told me that when she met Jeremiah, she knew he was her one and only, she never tried for love again after losing him because she knew that nothing could replace him.

My mother on Krypton would also talk about the bonds that Kryptonians would make with each other and their soul mates. I never believed in the old love stories about love at first sight but no that it has happened to me, I can't deny it.

I love Barry Allen. I love Barry Allen! I have known him for so little time but he is my life, and I am happy that my last thoughts will be of my love for him.

"Hey guys. I see you found Barry then. He just came to pick up that speed killing arrow Curtis just made, have we won yet?" Felicity had no way of seeing what was happening as I notice now that the news helicopter that was once flying around has disappeared now.

"Barry? No, we have been getting our asses handed to us by this speed douche!" Cisco replies through the com.

"Yeah I noticed. Are you guys lost without me?" A voice comes from behind us.

"That better not be Barry. If he is alive and behind us I will kill him!" I silently mutter, turning as the Black Flash is frozen in place.

"The one and only baby!" I turn to see Barry, arms outstretched and smile on his face.

Forgetting the moment and impending danger I let out all my sadness and pain from the loss of Barry, into one massive hug.

"Barry!" I pushed him back and slapped his arm.

"Where were you when we were getting destroyed here?!" He stepped around me and in front of the crowd, facing Black Flash in the middle of the field.

"Explanations later. Right now, are we going to fight or are you going to monologue more?" Barry gestures to stunned Black Flash.

"Bwahaha. You're not real! I trapped you in MY place of power! This is another cheap parlour trick!" Suddenly Black Flash was on the ground with his scythe flying away.

"Real enough for you? We have all heard the 'I am death' and 'I will be the last thing you see'. Now why don't you act on those threats?" Barry got ready to fight as Black Flash rushed him, picking up his scythe in the process and swinging it wildly.

Barry seemed to be holding his own in the fight as they blazed around the field.

"Guys, Wally and Jesse are still aging too fast! They will be dead within 10 minutes at this rate!" Oh yeah, people are dying. I need to get out of my head and back into reality.

But how was Barry missing for a week and only now comes back? Looking as good as the day I met him and not like a beaten and bloody prisoner!

Hey guys and gals, next chapter will probably be the explanation about where Barry was and why I have made a couple references to a blue flash suit ;)

The comics are really confusing so all I am using are the characters, how they come to be will be completely my explanation.

Please review and tell me what story of mine you want me to update next as well as what you think I can improve on in this story.
