Barry leapt to his feet, "W-who are you?" he stuttered. The man in white simply starred at him, "Barry Allen - age twenty three, mother Norra Allen -deceased, father Henry Allen – age fifty one" he stated. Barry backed away a few steps.

"H-how do you know who I am?" he asked, a bit panicked. The man chuckled "You know… I actually thought you were starting to suspect me… I guess I overestimated you" he stated. Barry was extremely confused.

The man held his hands up "Barry, Barry, calm down, you look like you might have a heart attack…" the man paused for a moment "The very few people that know me… call me light. Do you want to take a guess at why?" he asked. Barry ran through what he knew about him, then it snapped in his head.

"You can run faster than light…" he stated slowly. The man chuckled "Correct. I knew you had that noggin for some reason" he joked. Barry shook his head "How… how is that possible… Anything with matter is incapable of running at the speed of light" he stated.

The man chuckled "Well… explain to me why, I've been able to shadow you for almost eight months without you even suspecting a thing" he explained. Barry was speechless, the man nodded "Yes, I've been everywhere you have. I've seen Caitlin, Bruce, Cisco, Dick, Iris, Oliver, and I even went back and saw your astonishing relationship with your mother" he explained.

Barry ran a hand through his hair, "You… you… went back and saw my mother?" he asked. The man nodded, "You… can run faster than the speed of light… you could have easily stopped The Reverse Flash and you did nothing!" he yelled at him.

"That's not my job… You and the Reverse Flash, you both went back and you altered time, tried to save your mother, but that is not how time works, one break in the timeline and it could cause mass destruction!" he exclaimed.

Barry's eyes flared with anger, Barry charged at full speed towards Light. He simply sped out of the way, he was yards away in milliseconds. Barry looked back at him, "Let me explain before you go full Rambo on me" he retorted.

Barry was steamed, but he stood still and stared at him. Light looked at him "Barry… I've been watching… for a reason, three years ago, in my world… there was a man… some say he was the anti-Christ born again, he killed the worlds' most powerful heroes in a matter of hours…" he paused and looked down.

"I was the only one left… he challenged me, I lost, even with all my speed, I couldn't defeat him, when he destroyed the world, I ran… so fast that I crossed into your dimension… I was lost, confused, and defeated… then I found you" he explained

"When I saw the Flash, I saw that there was still hope for this world… I-I was only out for my benefit, but you… you are out for your fellow man, you were out to save the world, even if it was only one mugger at a time" he continued

"Barry… I fear that it is too late for my world, but not for yours" Light paused for a moment "Zoom is only a near fraction of what is in store for your world… You need to prepare and you must know that you cannot brave this alone"

"In the time that you left Central, you said to yourself that you knew what was best for you and your friends, you left to keep them out of harm's way… but Barry, you were wrong, you need your friends as much as they need you… If you are going to defeat what is coming for this world… You are going to need to accept the fact that you can't do this alone."

"So Barry Allen… You have the knowledge I came to give you…" he looked over at the jumbotron of Central City, it was a sign that read 'Come face me and Die, Flash' it was Zoom's doing, this wasn't over. Barry looked back at Light "How will I know if I am ready?" he asked

"I know this is the first time we've officially met… but I've seen you work and grow over the past eight months… If anyone can do this, it'll be you" he explained. Barry smiled a bit and nodded "What will happen to you?" he asked.

Light chuckled "I've been to a few different dimensions, but none I'd like to call home… There is good in every dimension, even though some are hard to find, maybe there needs to be a Flash essence in one of these new found dimensions" he stated.

Barry nodded "Thank you… for saving my life and my worlds life" he thanked. Light nodded "Of course, but now you are on your own, I cannot defeat this new menace you face, you must succeed on your own… Goodbye… Slugger" he retorted before beaming off at light speeds. Barry's eyes widened

"D-dad?"
