Barry looked over the railings of the rooftop. He sighed, New York City. This place once represented something, a symbol for Hope, the statue of Liberty represented America's freedom and no one could change that... or so we thought.
Now, the streets were controlled by The Executioner's men's vehicles. The skies were swarmed with their helicopter and the city looked dark with it's looming fair overhead. Barry signed and sped back into the building. The league was forced to hide theirselves in an abandoned apartment building.
Sam, Cap, and Bruce all looked over a map of the city, all were talking about how to best infiltrate the enemy's biggest base, once they take over New York, they'll have the leverage they need to storm Central City and take on Joker and The Executioner.
Sam stood up, a few drops of sweat flowed down his brow. He ran a hand through his hair, "Okay... There's something I've been holding back from telling you... But it's going to come in handy" he explained. He walked over to the ceiling fan in the center of the room that rotated rapidly.
He put his hand in the air and concentrated on the light, a flow of electricity flowed from the light to his hand, the entire league watched in awe as the electricity seemed to flow through his body. He rested and placed his hand back to his side, there was flickering of blue lightning in his eyes.
"H-How?" Barry stumbled to find words. Sam sighed and ran his hand through his hair, that had stuck in the air a bit, due to the static, "I thought it wasn't important... My powers are more extensive than I've led you to believe" he explained.
Barry glared at Sam, he was angry, they were a team and he was just hiding powers from him. Barry walked close, their noses were nearly touching, "What else aren't you telling us?" he asked with anger in his tone.
"Look Bar, I'm sorry. I didn't know how you guys would react" he explained with an apologetic look on his face. Barry clenched his fist, "You've lied before and you've lied to us again. There's no way I can trust you" Barry said with a fury growing inside him.
Dick stepped in between he two and pushed them apart, "Barry, you need to calm down. Tensions are high right now, I think we all need to ca-" Dick was cut off when Barry pushed him into Sam. Barry shook his head, "No. We're at war. We can't have people like you being a detriment to our mission" Barry lashed out, he was ready for fight.
"You know what?" Sam hissed, "I don't know what your fucking problem with me is, but you want me gone. Fine, I'm gone" he yelled at the speedster as he turned to leave the room. Barry sped in front of him he glared deeply at him, "You're not going anywhere" he threatened.
Sam smirked and raised his hand to level with Barry's chest, "Watch me" he said as lightning crackled and popped, then shot out of the palm of his hand. Barry flew back and his the wall, then fell to the ground. Sam slammed the door behind him.
Caitlin rushed to Barry's side, "Barry?!" she cried, he got up slowly but surely. He used his hand to support him, Barry knew something was different. He looked down at his hand and he tried to vibrate it, but it was moving at normal speeds.
"Umm... What happened" he asked. Cap was a few feet away, smirking, "You pissed off the wrong person" he remarked. Barry was surprised that he hadn't left with his brother, but Cap knew something had to be done.
"No... I... I can't vibrate my hand" he said with a confused and shocked look on his face. Bruce nodded, "Looks like Sam's powers were much more extensive than we first anticipated." he remarked with a interested tone. Bruce then turned to irritation, "Damnit... We need him for our plan."
Bruce turned to Kara, "Go get him. Don't get caught" he ordered, she nodded and slipped out the window. Barry was gaining his ability to stand on his own power, but his speed had not returned, "What the hell did he do?!" Barry questioned in anger.
Bruce had a minor glare towards the speedster, "Relax. It's only temporary" he assured. Barry looked at the Bat, "Why do I have a feeling you knew about his powers..." Barry stated. Bruce had a blank expression towards him "I had a hunch. I've worked with similar tech to the kind they used to make him" he stated.
Barry groaned, "And you didn't bother to tell us?" Barry asked in anger, yet again. Cap stepped forward, "What exactly is your problem with my brother. If he wanted to hurt you, he already would have. He could've killed you, instead he just zapped you" he reasoned. Barry groaned.
"Do you guys not fucking get it?! We are fighting a war and not to mention, we're losing!" he yelled. Cap stepped closer, "I've fought wars before and it's a helluva lot harder without allies" he reasoned. Barry groaned, "He kept secrets from all of us, if we can't even count on him to tell hand truth, how can we count him to have our backs in a fight?" he asked.
"Sam hasn't done anything but help you and your cause, why can't you just trust him?" Cap asked. Barry's mind went to Dr. Wells, "I trusted someone once. I trusted him with my life. I considered him one of my best friends, then he stabbed me in the back. So I'm sorry if I have problems trusting again!" he yelled.
The room went silent and Barry leaned against a wall, he looked down at his hand, it started to vibrate at high speeds again. Barry sighed.
Kara slipped back in through the window, "He's gone" she said with an obvious tone of sadness in her voice. Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose, "Shit..." he mumbled, "We'll have to fight without him, either way, tomorrow we take the city back" he stated.
Barry sunk to the floor, shit, what did he do?
Note- I'm not trying to make Barry or Sam the villain in this chapter, but instead trying to establish the effects Wells had on Barry. I hope you enjoyed and please Review! (Also sorry for so much cussing, it was an tense chapter)
