A large scar was visible on Barry's inner forearm. It wasn't just a normal scar though. It was a brand. The numbers 0227 had been permanently burnt into his skin. Joe felt himself be consumed with white hot rage when he looked at it. They had branded his son like he was some kind of animal. (Part 2 to The First Cut is the Deepest. Can be read by itself though.)

One month. One month since the warehouse, since Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco escaped from a kidnapping which left them battered and unsteady. Just when it looks like things may be back to normal, an old threat resurfaces to pick up the pieces of Jason's work. The wheel continues to spin. The nightmare, it seems, is only just beginning. (Sequel to "Calamity Will Strike")
