Godspeed

Disclaimer I don't own anything but the story

A thirteen year old boy with spiky sun kissed blonde hair, bright blue eyes, lightly tanned skin, and three whisker like marks on each cheek. This boy's name is Nathan Allen; he goes by the nickname Nate. He was getting ready for bed after making sure that his eleven year old little brother Barry was alright from the punch to the eye he got from a bully at school. Barry's name was Bartholomew Allen, he had straight brown hair, blue eyes, and slightly tanned skin Nate was about to climb into bed when he heard a noise down stairs. As he turns around to go down and see what the noise was he saw the water from his fish tank start to float in the air as if all gravity had been reversed. Nate heard a scream from down stairs so he ran down only to see his mom in the living room on her knees while he sees white, red, and yellow lightning surrounding his mom in what looks like a storm in the house. Nate hears Barry call his name so he looks over his shoulder "Barry you need to get out of the house right now. Go to my room and out the window, the roof is low enough for you to safely get to the ground without getting hurt. Once you're there go get Joe, don't stop, don't look back, and most importantly be safe little brother. I'm going to try and get mom out of there and meet up with you at Joe's house. Hopefully I'll have mom and dad with me. Now get going."

Nate ran closer to the lightning only to hear his mom yell at him to stay away. Nate didn't listen and tried to get through only to run into something and fall on his butt. He looked up and saw that there was a man in a yellow suit and the man's eyes were glowing red while the man's face was blurred. His dad had come down just before Nate fell and he helped Nate stand back up. They both stood there for a couple of minutes trying and failing to figure out a way to get Nora out of there. All they could do was start yelling "Mom!" for Nate and "Nora" for Henry. After a couple of minutes yelling Henry kneeled down and grabbed Nate by his shoulders "Run Nate run!"

Before Nate could do or say anything he's grabbed by something in the yellow and white lightning. Henry is still telling Nate to run before his eldest son is gone. Several streets away Nate punched the thing in the white lightning in the face while kicking the thing in the yellow lightning at the same time. All three fell to the ground and rolled a few times before they got back up. Nate saw both of the men in the suits. The one that had the red suit on seemed familiar to Nate and for some reason he felt like shit for kicking him in the face. Nate pushed that feeling down when he looked at the man in the white suit. Nate got up and ran over to the man in white. He then ripped the full cowl off the man's face and froze because it was like he was looking at an older version of himself. Nate looked at the other man "Barry? Is that you little brother or have I really lost my mind?"

The man in the red suit took off the partial cowl to show an older version of Barry "Well damn we didn't think you'd rip off the cowl belonging to your older self."

Nate looked at the man in white "Well it'll get confusing if Barry here starts calling our name so what the hell should I call you?"

The man in white said "Godspeed, and call Barry. Flash."

Nate looked back and forth the two of them before he sighed "So Godspeed, what the hell was that back in our living room?"

Godspeed said "That was Flash and Reverse Flash fighting while I tried to keep them from destroying the timeline."

Nate looked at Godspeed with wide eyes before he looked at Flash "So you and this Reverse Flash just decided to go through time and fight?"

Flash nods and opens his mouth to say something when Nate cut him off. Nate threw his hands in the air "You're both morons! I mean really, what genius thought it would be a good idea to go running into the past while fighting with someone? Don't you two realize who could have seen your or what you could have changed? The both of you are complete and udder morons!"

Godspeed started to laugh until turned to him "I wouldn't laugh if I was you because what you were doing wasn't much better. Sure you kept them from changing events in the past but what about the people that saw three streaks of lightning running along the road idiot! And I'm standing here yelling at myself for being an idiot which makes me seem crazy. Damn it do you see what the two of you have done? You know what it doesn't matter don't tell me anything else because that could miss up the time just answer three more questions and then you two need to leave."

Godspeed and Flash nod while Nate takes a minute to get his mind in some sort of order to ask the three questions he has. Nate sighs "I'm going to ask all three questions at once and I want Godspeed to answer them. Don't you dare lie to me because as me you should know how important the truth is to me. Question one what do we call you two? Question two is mom supposed to die tonight? And question three what happens to dad?"

Godspeed smiles at those questions "Ok here are your answers. We're speedsters, yes she was supposed to die tonight in order for you and Barry to become us sooner, and dad goes to jail for her murder."

Nate sighed and nods in acceptance "Get back to your time and I'll try to figure something out on how to explain all of this to Barry and the cops."

Godspeed and Flash disappear while Nate starts to run towards his house. When he got there he saw the cops outside his house. Nate walked up and looked around for someone he knew and he saw Joe so he walked up to him "Joe, where's Barry?"

Joe looked down at Nate "Nate, there you are I was getting worried about you. Barry is at my house with Iris. Nate your mom is dead and it's looking like your dad did it. Did you see what happened?"

Nate sighed and nods "I saw what looked like a lightning storm in the living room along with wind that seemed to take things off the shelves and break them. The lightning had three different colors they were white, red, and yellow. I had already made it down the stairs by the time Barry got to the top. I told him to get to my room and use the window to get out of the house since my room is the only one that leads to a part of the roof low enough for someone to get down to the ground without hurting themselves, I told him to get to your house and not to look back. He did as I told him to and I tried to get to our mom only I ran into a man in a yellow suit. He looked like he was wrapped in red lightning; his eyes looked like they were glowing red, and his face looked blurred so I couldn't tell you what he really looked like. My dad came down the stairs soon after and we tried to get to mom so we could get her out. When that didn't work we spend a couple of minutes yelling to her. After that dad grabbed me by my shoulders and told me to run. Before I could say or do anything I was several streets away without knowing how I got there."

Joe looked at Nate with wide eyes "Well that was informative but Barry was saying that there really lightning in the living room. What do you think really happened?"

Nate sighed "I think somehow and no I can't explain how, but someone found a way to set up our dad to look like he killed mom and he used smoke and mirrors to do it. I mean there is no way in hell that lightning can be inside a house."

Joe nods "Yeah well you'll have to explain that to Barry because he's convinced that it was all real."

Nate rubbed the back of his head "I'll deal with Barry after I talk to dad if he's still here."

Joe smiled "Your dad's in the car behind you."

Nate thanked Joe and turned around to see his dad. Nate knocked on the door "Dad, I know that you don't want Barry to come see you in jail and we both know that the cops have too much evidence on you killing mom to know that you're going there. I'm telling you that Barry and I know you didn't do this. I'll be with Barry when he comes to visit and I'll try to get him to move on. I know what really happened here tonight and I won't tell Barry but the white and yellow lightning was coming off of an older version of me and Barry respectively."

Henry smiled at Nate "Keep him safe Nate because that's your job now alright?"

Nate nods "Yeah dad I got it and trust me he will be safe. We'll see you soon dad, love you."

Henry lays his head against the seat "Love you too Nate. Tell Barry I said the same to him."

Nate smiles "I will dad, bye."

Nate walked away and looked towards Joe "I'm going to your house to see Barry."

Joe nods without looking at Nate "Tell Iris that it's bed time."

Nate nods "I'll make sure that the both of them are in bed before I go to sleep on the couch. See you soon Joe."

Nate walked away without letting Joe say anything. Twenty minutes later Nate knocked on Joe's door. He hears footsteps and sees that Iris opened the door. She smiled at Nate "Hi Nate, are you here to come in too?"

Nate smiled back at her "Yeah Iris and it would appear that Barry and I might be staying here for a while."

Iris moved and let Nate in. Nate came in and saw Barry sitting on the couch looking at the wall. Nate walked up and put a hand on Barry's shoulder "Come on little brother you need some sleep and we'll talk about what happened to mom and dad tomorrow."

Barry nods and gets up. Nate gently grabs his arm to lead him upstairs as the pass Iris Nate looks at her "Your dad said that I was to tell you that it was bed time so let's get you and Barry into a couple of beds before I come back down here to sleep on the couch."

Iris smiled and follows them up the stairs. Nate got Barry into the guess room and tucked him in. Nate went to the door and turned off the light before looking at Barry one more time "Get some sleep little brother and I'll be down stairs on the couch so come get me if you need anything."

Barry looked at Nate "I will and thank you for everything big brother."

Nate smiled and walked away after closing the door. He then walked to Iris's door before he knocked on it. Nate hears Iris moving around "Nate, if that's you then you can come in."

Nate opened the door and looked at Iris who was already in her bed "Sorry about this but I just wanted to make sure that you were alright."

Iris smiled at him "I figured that you'd stop by to check on me before you went back down stairs to sleep on the couch. I'm a little freaked out about what Barry said happened at your house tonight and I'd like to be a part of the talk you're going to have with Barry in the morning."

Nate smiled "I'll make sure to include you in the talk. Also if you need anything just come get me and I'll help you out since your dad's going to be getting back rather late."

Iris nods with a smile on her face "Goodnight Nate."

Nate smiles back and turns off her light "Goodnight Iris."

Nate goes down stairs and gets the couch ready for him to sleep on before he lies down. Five minutes later he fell asleep. The next morning Nate was the first one up and started to get things out for breakfast. Five minutes later Barry and Iris come down because they could smell someone cooking. Iris was telling Barry that it had to be her dad and Barry was telling her that it was his brother. They walked through the door and Iris stopped and stared at Nate while Barry smiled and said that he was right. Nate looked over at the two of them "Barry quite teasing Iris and help her set the table. Iris close your mouth before you start to attract flies and get the table ready for four of us."

Just as Nate stopped talking Joe walked into the kitchen to see Nate cooking. Nate smiled at Joe "Coffee's done if you want a cup. No coffee for you Barry, you know that you're still too young to have any and I'm sure that Joe is the same with you Iris. Now the both of you will have orange juice just as soon as I can pour three glasses of it."

Joe watched Nate kept everyone in line while he made a cup of coffee for himself. He saw Nate had made bacon, eggs, and pancakes for breakfast. He looked at Nate "Where did you learn how to cook?"

Nate glanced at Joe before looking back that glass he was filling with orange juice "Mom taught me and she let me do a lot of the cooking when she felt that I was ready so that her and dad could sleep in while Barry and I had to get ready for school. This is Barry's favorite breakfast."

Joe chuckled "its Iris's favorite too."

Nate smirked "No, Iris's favorite is actually her grandma Ester's homemade French toast."

Joe looked at Nate with wide eyes "How did you know that?"

Nate glanced at a blushing Iris and smiled "Iris told me that two years ago."

Joe looked at Iris with a raised eyebrow "You told him but you didn't tell me?"

Nate looked at Joe "She told me because Barry brought some for lunch one day and she had a bite. She came to me later that same day and told me that my homemade French toast taste almost exactly like her grandmothers. That was also the day she told me that her grandma Ester's homemade French toast was her favorite breakfast."

Joe looked at Nate "Well damn I didn't know that."

Nate chuckled "I didn't either until that day. All I did was start missing around with different spices until I found one I liked then I made it for my family and they loved it. I wasn't aware someone else had come up with something a lot like it before I did. Anyway let's eat then I have a talk that Barry and Iris need. You're more than welcome to be a part of the talk to Joe."

Joe smiled and ruffled Nate's hair "I'll have to pass because I have to get to work soon after we eat."

Nate nods and they all seat down to eat. About an hour later Joe had just walked out the door and the kids are cleaning up the table. When they get done Nate looks at Iris and Barry "Why don't you two go watch something on TV while I do the dishes then we'll have that talk. Oh and Barr find something the both of you like."

Iris and Barry smiled and went to find something on TV to watch while Nate did the dishes. After about twenty minutes Nate put the last dish in the drain board and goes into the living room to see Iris and Barry watching mighty morphin power rangers. Nate smiled "I knew that Barry liked this show but I didn't know that you did Iris."

They turned towards Nate with smiles. Nate chuckled "We'll have that talk after the show is over."

Ten minutes later and they're sitting at the table again. Nate sighed "Barry what I'm about to tell you is going to be hard to hear and it won't make sense just like last night but you need to know something else first. I won't tell you the whole truth because it might change the future if I do and that could be really bad. The reason it could be bad can't be explained right now but when I can I will tell the both of you the whole truth. However this is the truth that the cops know, the lightning in our living room was an illusion caused by the man in the yellow suit. This man had glowing red eyes and somehow made his face look blurred. He also found a way to frame dad for killing mom. This man also managed to somehow put me several streets away from the house without knowing how."

Iris and Barry nod before Barry looked at Nate with a curious expression "So what is the real truth that you can tell us right now?"

Nate looked them both in the eyes "The lightning was real and there was a man in the red lightning and that man is the same man that was in the yellow suit. He's the one that killed mom and framed dad for it. The cops have too much evidence pointing to dad as the killer so he has to go to jail for now. One day we will get him out, I promise. Also Barry I won't be following you into the career path of a CSI like we talked about. I believe that I can help dad more if I follow my dream and work a scientist instead."

Barry nods and smiles "I understand Nate and I know that you were only going to be a CSI because I asked you to."

Nate smiles and gets up before walking over to Barry and ruffling his hair "I'll always be there for you little brother."

Nate looked at them and stretched "Let's go play some video games."

The other two smile and they all go into the living room to play video games.
