A/N: Here I am back with another chapter.
"Oh my god." Barry gasped. "That day on the raft...instead of you dying it...it was Oliver wasn't it?"
Robert felt anger swarm through his body as he grabbed Barry's hand and held it above his shoulder.
"What're you doing?" Barry asked.
Robert didn't say anything, instead he held Barry's hand before twisting it downward in a wrong direction causing Barry to scream in pain.
"AHHHH!" Barry yelled in pain as Robert pushed him a few feet away. "You...broke my finger...almost broke my arm."
"I'm going to break every bone in your body until you tell me who the Hell you are what the Hell you are doing here. Did Ra's Al Ghul send you?"
"What? No. My name is Barry Allen and like you, I have a secret identity. I'm The Flash. After I was struck by a lightning bolt from a particle accelerator, I became the fastest man alive-"
Barry was cut off as Robert threw a punch to his face, interrupting Barry as he spat blood from his mouth due to Robert's punch.
"You weren't fast enough to dodge that, you delusional son of a bitch." Robert pointed out.
"That's because I don't have my speed, Mr. Queen." Barry said. "And no one remembers there ever being a Flash."
Robert swung his fist towards Barry's face but this time the man was ready as he ducked under Robert's punch.
"I'm not your enemy." Barry said as he punched Robert's stomach. "And I need your help."
"You came to the wrong place." Robert said as he picked up Barry and threw onto the computers.
Barry landed on the desk of computers as he rolled over them, falling off the railing and landing on the ground. Barry groaned in pain as Robert walked over to the man.
"Get up." He growled, holding Barry by his shoulders.
"AAAH!" Barry yelled in pain as Robert released him in shock.
Barry felt his head ache in pain as new memories filled his mind.
"It happened a few months ago." Barry realized as the new memories filled his mind. "The Nazis and Russians invading China. Then they all formed an alliance and destroyed nearly all of Asia and are currently advancing onto Europe. This isn't an alternate earth or universe. This is home. All of this is real."
"That's the first thing you've said that makes sense." Robert growled.
"He did this." Barry realized. "He could be moving so fast that he's invisible, that way he can watch us."
"Who?"
"The man who did all of this: Eobard Thawne."
"What kind of stupid name is Eobard?"
"One from the future." Barry answered. "Thawne is a scientist from the 22nd century, who became obsessed with the power I have. Had. He wanted to be The Flash but he only ended up becoming my future self's worst enemy. He calls himself The Reverse-Flash."
"The Reverse-Flash?" Robert asked. "Why would he be watching us? And how the Hell is he even doing it?"
"Because he wants to. He wants me to know that he's behind this." Barry said. "He's haunting me, like always."
"You're more paranoid than Ra's Al Ghul, you belong in Starling General."
"I'm not crazy, Mr. Queen. Thawne is as fast as I used to be. Plus, he can do things I can't. He can change history. My mother was murdered when I was eleven, my father was incarcerated for her murder but the truth is that Thawne framed him. Thawne then masqueraded as my timeline's Harrison Wells with some advanced tech from the future. I was able to stop Thawne and free my father but he was killed by an enemy of mine named Zoom.
However, my mom is alive now. Thawne's altered the course of history again, no doubt and everything has gone to complete and utter Hell. Nazi Germany is back, Hitler has a descendant leading it. Nearly all of Asia and Europe are destroyed and my friends are god-knows-where."
"What about Oliver and Thea?" Robert asked, demanding to know his children's fate. "You called me Oliver when you saw me in this suit and I heard you calling out Thea's name when you entered."
"That's because in the world I knew you died instead of Oliver." Barry said. "After five years on an island named Lian Yu, Oliver came back to put an end to crime and corruption in S.T.A.R. City. Eventually, Thea joined him in his crusade, she's a member of Oliver's team: Team Arrow."
"Oliver and Thea are alive?" Robert asked hopefully.
"I've only met your daughter once..." Barry said. "...but your son is the closest thing I have to an older brother."
"If you're telling the truth..." Robert assumed. "...can you change this world? Change so that I died and Oliver lived...and Thea survived."
"Yes but there are a number of things I'm gonna need." Barry warned.
"What?! Anything, tell me." Robert said quickly, his tone was that of a father's rather than The Arrow's.
"Well, first things first: I'm gonna need my speed." Barry said. "Before I forget everything I've ever known."
Two Hours Later
Central City
Barry and Robert stayed inside their car as Barry drove it through the streets and towards S.T.A.R. Labs. It truly annoyed Barry how slow the world moved, how slow it was when he didn't have his speed.
"Did you pack the Ninhydrin?" Barry asked.
"This is crazy." Robert said.
"I know, I've always been crazy but did you pack it?" Barry repeated.
"Yeah, everything you asked for is in here." Robert said, holding a up a small black bag full of chemicals. "But tell me this: dousing you with chemicals, striking you with lightning and exposing you to dark matter all at once is going to turn you into 'The Fastest Man Alive'?"
"That's how it happened the first time." Barry said.
"They say lightning never strikes the same place twice."
"They say a lot of things. Besides Mr. Queen, this isn't the first time I've lost my speed."
"Then what number is it?"
"Lucky number three, I believe. And don't they say 'third time's the charm'?"
Barry then saw S.T.A.R. Labs through the window glass, he smiled with hope, knowing that there was still a way of changing this world while saving his mother and ensuring her survival. Barry drove the car around the S.T.A.R. Labs building before parking it in the parking area. Barry and Robert stepped out of the car as Robert grabbed the bag of chemicals. The two men made their way inside S.T.A.R. Labs as Robert swung the bag over his shoulders before taking out his quiver and loading it with an arrow. Barry let Robert lead the way as the two made their inside the cortex, where they saw Slade Wilson, Leonard and Lisa Snart (the Snart Twins), Mick Rory, Caitlin Snow (though she looked like Killer Frost from Earth 2), Floyd Lawton, Bronze Tiger and Katana. The group of people all turned to face Barry and Robert, who lowered his bow and arrow.
"Well look who decided to join the party." Slade said before frowning when he noticed Barry. "Who's your friend?"
"Everyone, this is Barry Allen a.k.a The Flash." Robert said, gesturing his hand to both Barry and the group of people. "Barry, this is everyone."
"Caitlin?" Barry asked Killer Frost as everyone in the room was shocked.
"How do you know my name?" Killer Frost asked.
"Yeah, how do you know?" Deadshot asked. "None of us know."
"It's a long story." Robert said to put and end to the conversation. "For now, there's something we need you to do...
A Few Minutes Later
The Pipeline
Barry stood on the ground of the accelerator, ready to get his speed back. He took all the chemicals from the bag Robert had given him and poured them all over his body, he was sure to avoid putting them on his face or anywhere too close to his head. Back in the cortex, everyone else watched as Barry poured the chemicals on his body.
"This is madness." Katana said. "He will kill himself."
"Or this could work." Robert argued.
"I'm a scientist and even I'm telling you: this is impossible." Killer Frost said.
"Says the woman who has ice powers." Slade countered.
"He's got you there, frosty." Golden Glider said.
"Don't call me frosty." Killer Frost said, the cold in her voice increasing to a tone that frightened Lisa.
Back in the Pipeline, Barry finished pouring the chemicals as he tossed the empty bag and started bouncing on his feet, ready to run when he heard Robert's voice from the P.A.
"Alright Allen, you ready?" Robert's voice came.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm ready." Barry said confidently.
"Alright. On my count, start running." Robert said. "Godspeed, kid. Five..."
Barry bent his body backwards in a racing position as he readied himself for the run.
"...four...three...two...one."
Barry then took off, running as fast as he could despite only being as fast as a regular human. In the cortex, everyone else watched as Killer Frost prepared the controls before hitting a button that turned on the particle accelerator. Back in the pipeline, Barry continued running when he saw the wave of orangish dark matter energy coming at him. The wave passed through Barry as lightning struck his body, dark matter and speed force energy being absorbed by his body. Orange lightning coursed Barry's body as he ran, this time at super speed, out of the pipeline and into the cortex as everyone stared at Barry in shock.
"Well I'll be." Robert said slowly.
"I told you..." Barry said. "...third time's the charm."
"Oi vey, you smell like you came out of the sewer." Golden Glider groaned as everyone in the room covered their noses.
"Right, that would be the chemicals. Give me a few minutes to shower." Barry said as he sped out of the room in a flash of orange lightning.
10 Minutes Later
Barry sped into cortex with a flash of orange lightning following him as he grinned like a madman.
"Man, I've missed doing that." Barry said.
"Right, onto more serious matters..." Slade said as he turned to face Robert. "...are you really in? To stop the Nazis?"
"I am..." Robert said. "...but we're doing this my way with my army. My first recruit is The Flash."
Everyone then turned to face Barry.
"I'm in." Barry said before giving Robert the 'we need to talk about this later' look.
"Alright, we got The Flash." Deadshot said. "Who's next?"
"The only other person I know that would help us: Ra's Al Ghul." Robert said, shocking everyone in the room.
"The leader of the League of Assassins?" Barry asked. "Why would Ra's help us?"
"Because Ra's would want to change this world as much as I do." Robert replied, only confusing Barry (and everyone else in the room) even more.
"Why would he want that?"
"Not he, she." Deathstroke corrected as Robert had a saddened look on his face while everyone else had sorry looks, confusing Barry even more.
"Is there something I'm missing here?" Barry asked, being completely oblivious.
"I know who Ra's Al Ghul is." Robert said. "We all do."
"Great!" Barry said, trying to lighten the mood in the room. "Let's find him...err...I mean, her and get her to help us."
Barry was only met with even more sorry looks that were shown to Robert as Barry could've sworn he saw tears on the man's eyes.
"You don't even know, do you?" Robert asked, his voice somewhat breaking.
"Don't know what?" Barry asked. "What's wrong?"
"Ra's Al Ghul's real name...is Moira. Moira Queen."
A/N: For those of you die-hard DC comics fans who've read the Flashpoint comic, I'm pretty sure you saw this coming. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I apologize if it was short. I will try to make the following chapters a little longer, that's all I have for now. Please leave a review. Bye!"
