Iris was alone washing the dishes after dinner one night when she suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around her. She stiffened when she felt E2 Barry press his body against hers from behind. "Umm," she said awkwardly, not moving a muscle. E2 Barry was oblivious to her lack of response though. He was too busy pressing light kisses to what he thought was his wife's neck.

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.)

When an enemy of Barry escapes prison with the help of his new friend, he decides he won't rest until the Flash is dead. So what does he do? Well, he decides to capture Joe West and torture him for information and the name of the red streak, the stupid speedster who always ruins his plans. Except Joe West isn't in Joe West's house. A very ill Barry Allen is. Oh boy... [whump (:]

After a strange encounter with a mysterious metahuman, Barry starts feeling a bit under the weather. When this supposed sickness starts transforming into something much worse, he and his team have to find a way to reverse it before it leads to his doom.
