Okay, chap14, sorry it took so long! Thanks for all the reviews :D and thanks for sticking with it, it means alot. I admit i almost cried when writing this chapter so be warned and enjoy (:
"The what?!"
"The speed force, it's what gives speedsters their power" Thawne explained quietly
"Wait, you're speaking like there are more people like Bart?" Ollie questioned
"There are, but not from…this time."
"Not from this time? Then what…the future?"
"Yes, Mr Queen, the quite distant future."
"Okay, what happens if this speed force thing gets him?"
Thawne said nothing, as he looked at Bart, his expression unreadable.
"Answer me!" Ollie shouted, losing patience
"He'll be…sucked in, trapped in an extradimensional field that lies beyond this world, here, he'll cease to exist." He eventually answered.
"No! How do we stop it? If you know so much about it then tell us how to stop it."
"I can't."
"Please, he's your grandson, does that mean nothing to you? Don't tell me your willing to watch him die if you can do something to prevent it."
"Listen to me Oliver, I can't do anything, it's up to Bart to fight it himself."
"Well, that's gonna be abit hard considering he can't even think for himself thanks to that helmet thing."
"Arrow! I know how to get it off" Victor called from the computer station at the other side of the room.
He ran over to where the kid was stood, being careful to avoid the electricity bouncing off his skin. Vic grasped the helmet with one hand and with the other genteelly pulled off a small panel at the back; exposing a number of colourful wires. He disconnected a green one and a blue one and the helmet appeared to power down, Vic noticed the back of it move as a large metal needle exited the kid's neck before his legs gave way and he slumped to the floor. Vic grabbed him as softly as he could under the arms and guided Bart down, paying no attention to the angry lightning –he couldn't feel it anyway through his almost completely artificial body- he propped Bart against the wall and carefully removed the helmet. Bart opened his eyes weakly like he was seeing the world for the first time. His breathing was fast and heavy and his hair was wet with sweat, causing his bangs to stick fiercely to his forehead.
"Vic? Is 'sat you?" Bart managed to whisper between breaths.
"Yeah kid it's me, how yu doin'?" He answered, checking the boys heart rate, which was still beating erratically fast despite him standing still for a number of minutes.
"I…I dunno, I don't feel so good." He replied as he struggled to keep his eyes open.
"Impulse! Bart! Stay with me, look at me yeah, Ollie?!" he cried shaking the kid genteelly.
Arrow pushed Thawne to the floor and ran over to them both.
"What is it?! What's wrong?" he asked, his voice laced with panic.
"He's losing conciseness, heart rate dropping rapidly. I…I think we're losing him."
"NO! No. Bart, it's me, it's Ollie, please, you've gotta stay strong, like I said, remember?"
"Ollie! I remember." He shouted snapping his eyes open "Ollie…?" Where was everyone? Wait, where was he? he thought. Bart looked around, everything was yellow and distorted but somehow everything seemed right. "Where the hell am I?" he said to himself, looking around at his peculiar surroundings.
"You're in the speed force" a deep voice said from behind him, Bart span round to see a tall muscular man with brown hair and deep blue eyes standing behind him.
"The…speed force?" he questioned.
"Yes." The mysterious man answered "It's where we speedsters go…when we die."
"There are more people like me?! Wait…when we die? I'm…dead?" The revelation hit him like a kick in the chest from Vic.
"Yes and no, you see, Malcolm messed with history, you're not meant to be here. Not for a very long time Bart." He replied as he walked towards Bart and put his hands on the boys shoulders.
"I um…I don't think I understand."
"I know son, I know. Malcolm knew how powerful you are and how much more powerful you will become, your mother sent you to the late 20th century, she thought you'd be safe there."
"You knew my mum?"
"Yes Bart and she misses you very much, I wish I could tell you more but it's time for you to go." With that he shoved the kid hard in the chest, sending him into the air, everything around him shock violently and the man was getting further away.
"Goodbye…my son" He whispered quietly, a single tear falling down his cheek.
Everything became bright white, Bart could hear voices around him.
"Bart, come on Bart!"
He opened his eyes and suddenly felt short of breath, he gasped deeply. He was back in the room, with Ollie and Victor both watery eyed. The kid tried to make sense of what was happening when he glanced down.
"Guys, why is there a massive needle sticking out of my chest?" he said weakly.
"Oh my god Bart, we thought we'd lost you, well we did, you weren't breathing your heart stopped, we gave you a shot of adrenaline." Ollie explained as he carefully pulled the needle out of the boy's chest. "How do you feel?"
"Like I've been running non-stop for a week, how did you guys find me, the last thing I remember before…this, I was on this table and there was this helmet thing and this crazy old guy talking about changing history and…and that other guy, the one in the speed force, he was…he was my dad, my real dad."
"Great to have you back in the land of the living kid, but Ollie we've got a major problem, the people on the other side of the door, well they're about to get in, they've set high powered explosives all across the wall." A.C said from the other side of the room where he was watching a television screen showing the activities happening on the other side of the wall.
"Is there any other way out of this room, other than through the roof?" Ollie asked Thawne who was sitting on the floor clutching his bleeding foot with his uninjured hand.
"No." he answered bluntly.
"Then call them off, if they come in here all guns blazing you're going to get caught in the crossfire and so is your machine thing."
"I can't call them off."
"Can't or won't?" Ollie questioned, Thawne just smiled.
"Guys…I think I might be able to get us outta here" Bart said quietly.
"What? How?" Vic asked
"Like this." His face scrunched in concentration and using the energy rush the adrenaline he vibrated his hand through the floor, before bringing it back up and stopping the vibrating.
"How the hell did you do that?" Ollie said with an astounded look on his face.
"I'm not sure, but I think I can do it to you guys, I'm just gonna need some help"
"Are you sure you can do this, you were dead a few minutes ago."
"I'll be fine Ollie." Bart lied.
Well there ya go and i think it's fair to say there is gonna be another chapter after this, so let me know what ya thought of that one, thanks :D
Still a few unanswered questions and just how are they going to get out of this?! Dun dun dunnnnn
