OK this might come off as a little selfish but I feel like there's not a whole lot of interest in this story. I know people are reading it but I just wish more people would show their support.

The Flash: Survival of the Fastest

Chapter 7: Calm Before the Storm

Central City

9:28 PM

Caitlin and Barry continued to run around Central City looking for their son. He had run away so suddenly that they were understandably worried, and they slightly felt like idiots since it had been roughly twenty-four hours after removing his tracking/power-dampening anklet and he had run away.

"Hey anything?" Barry asked her as they met up.

Caitlin shook her head. "I can't find him anywhere. What I would give to be able to sense other speedsters right about now."

"You and me both Cait… Damn I am such an idiot for taking that anklet off."

"Barry… we both made the decision to remove Ben's cuff. There was no way of knowing that this would happen."

"Yeah, but he's still our responsibility. Come on, we have to find Ben." With a silent nod between them the two speedsters took off in separate directions lighting up the city with sparks of yellow and blue as they desperately searched for their missing son.

On a Roof overlooking the Central City Skyline

9:39 PM

Ben stood on the edge of the roof looking down. He didn't know what was wrong with him. The instant he left his parents' house he became lost in another vision/memory or whatever it was. He had heard about such things from people who messed with time where a simple act would cause a chain reaction that would instill new memories into a person and old ones were overwritten as time caught up with them. Ben wondered how this could be happening to him, he was being extraordinarily careful with what he was doing besides him going to the past and training his father is something he was supposed to do; train Barry to fight Godspeed so that Barry could in turn train him as he did.

The last memory he experienced was not very pleasant, having been strapped to a cold metal table with scientists poking and prodding him like some kind of lab rat. He remembered being raised up and held in place while hearing the same words he'd been hearing all afternoon.

"Subject 52-Alpha is ready Sir." The voice of someone said. Definitely a man talking.

"Do it." The gruff militaristic voice of the man in charge said.

Ben listened as the machines around him warmed up. He braced himself as best he could but nothing could prepare him for what these maniacs had planned. There was a flash of white light and pain gushed over ben's whole body as searing hot lightning danced all over him. This was not a normal lightning strike however. A normal bolt of lightning lasts between ten and fifty microseconds. This one lasted for a solid minute and then some but Ben seemed to lose count along with his consciousness.

He came to shortly after but the left side of his face felt like it was on fire as did his neck and left shoulder. Not only that but it smelt like charred flesh

"Subject 52-Alpha has failed Sir, might I suggest we move on to 52-Omega?"

"Sir I must voice my concerns." A female voice spoke. "52-Omega is still and infant. "even if this experiment works on adults it could kill the child."

"Your concerns are taken into consideration Doctor, but 52-Omega was always the better choice his chances of survival are higher than all the other subjects. Take this failure and put him with the rest, and bring in 52-Omega."

When Ben came out of the memory he was standing in his current location with blood on his hands.

"What is happening to me!" Ben clutched his head in pain. More images flashed through his mind and among the images, he saw Godspeed's masked face flashed across his mind. Why had he been in the storm? Why did he help Ben stop the storm? Was he responsible for what was happening? Maybe Ben should seek him out when he found the time.

He could not stop his frantic mind as he drifted into another series of images that contradict his life.

Ben was strapped down on some kind of stretcher being wheeled down cold damp hall ways. He tried vibrating out of the restraints but found he could not.

"Don't struggle Subject 52-Alpha. You should feel honored you will be the vanguard of a new age/ An age where humanity stands taller than all the rest."

"Kiss… my… ass…"

"Don't worry, this insubordinate streak will die down. Especially if you don't want anything to happen to…" The man's voice faded to nothing as Ben began to hear another voice.

"Ben!?" Caitlin asked as she peered through the darkness. Her son was standing on the edge of a building. Hearing her voice Ben turned around to see his mother.

"Mom?! What are you doing here?"

Slowly Caitlin approached him. "We've been looking for you Ben. Barry and I, we are worried about you."

"Please… just leave me alone… you and Barry… you don't know me and right now… I don't think I even know myself…"

"What do mean Ben? Please… just talk to me… Believe me I'll understand."

"No… no you don't Mom…" Ben shook his head vigorously. "I feel like I'm losing my mind!"

"Ben… trust me… I know what you're going through. My mother… She went through this last year." Caitlin pleaded recalling the events with her mother when she suddenly developed cryokinetic powers and went on a rampage as Killer Frost. Ever since Earth-2, Caitlin had been worried about becoming Killer Frost she never wanted her mother to become Killer Frost.

"Your mother got hit by lightning and suddenly started seeing things that contradict everything he's known?" Ben's tone rose with each word and he seemed to get more and more frustrated.

"Not exactly… but my mother, she experienced visions and blackouts where she could not remember what she was doing." Caitlin didn't quite know how to respond. She really wanted to help Ben but she had no clue what she could say to him. "Ben please calm down…" She implored him. "Let us help you."

"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" Ben screamed. His sudden outburst made Caitlin flinch and step back.

"I cannot help you Ben unless you want me to." Caitlin made a move to leave. "If you want me to help you, you know where to find us."

"Wait!" Caitlin stopped and turned back to ben, who had stepped down from the ledge. Ben wanted to talk, he wanted to say anything but he just could not find the words, so he just spoke. "Okay… Okay…" Ben sighed in defeat. "You're right… I… please help me…" He couldn't stop the tears as he allowed his mother to close the distance and embrace him tightly.

"Shhhhhhhhh…" She soothed him. "It's going to be ok Ben… everything will be ok. Come on… let's get you home."

Barry and Caitlin's Home

11:30 PM

Caitlin leaned against the doorframe watching Ben sleep. It had taken a little while but she managed to get him to fall asleep. She stood their silently until she heard the familiar woosh followed by the slight gust of wind which usually signaled her boyfriend was behind her.

"Hey… how's he doing?" Barry asked quietly.

"Better… I've been trying to get him to sleep ever since we got back. For a while he just kept having these nightmares. But now they seemed to have passed."

Barry kept his eyes glued on his son. He was really worried about him. "Good…"

They didn't know that Ben was awake just listening to them talk. He absorbed every word that was spoken as if Barry and Caitlin would disappear if he stopped.

"Where'd you find him?"

"Standing on the edge of a roof. For a moment, I was afraid he might jump."

"Jesus…" Barry ran his hand through his hair before covering his mouth. "Maybe… maybe we should think about putting the anklet back on him."

"And what will that accomplish? That will suppress his powers Barry, not the visions and blackouts."

Barry turned to his girlfriend confused. "He's having blackouts?"

Caitlin nodded. "He told me that when one of these visions or nightmares appears in his mind he ends up in a different place with no recollection of how he got there or why."

"Is this… you know… normal for him?" Caitlin shook her head at Barry's question.

"He told me it started shortly after our fight with the Tempest Twins." Caitlin did not want to use their real names because it hurt just thinking about them, let alone say them out loud.

"Did he say anything else about them?"

"No… just that he knows they are not real but that does not stop them from feeling as real as a suppressed memory. When we go to STAR Labs tomorrow I'm going to run some test just to be safe." Barry gave Caitlin a smile before pulling her in and placing a gentle kill on her forehead.

"Ok… come on let's get some sleep…" Slowly Barry pulled her towards their shared bedroom where in a flicker of lightning they were in the pajamas and beneath their cozy blankets. Barry wrapped his arms around Caitlin holding her warm body close. Soon the Flash and his girlfriend drifted off into the safety of their dreams.

7:00 AM

Barry slowly woke up to the sight of Caitlin sleeping peacefully next to him. Her hair was sprawled all over the pillow while her right hand was lazily draped across his chest. She stirred slightly and Barry planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. before continuing to stare at his sleeping girlfriend.

"Why are you staring Barry?" She groaned into her pillow. "It's a little creepy."

"I believe the term you're looking for is romantic."

"You and I have very different definitions of romantic Barry."

"Yeah, well this morning cannot get any better."

-bzzzzzzzzz…bzzzzzzzzz- Barry's phone began to vibrate.

"Ugh… Just once can my phone not go off before eight?" Barry just wanted to turn it off and spend the entire day in bed with Caitlin. Here he was safe, warm and above all happy.

Caitlin sat up in bed turning to her boyfriend propping her elbows on her knees. "You better get that it is probably important." With a smile Caitlin stretched and got out of bed.

"Where do you think you're going?" Barry asked catching her wrist.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Sounds like fun, mind if I join you?"

Caitlin smiled. "I think it might be for the best if we did not. Otherwise I think we might end up doing something we regret."

"We already have a kid in the next room, what could happen?"

Caitlin rolled her eyes. "I don't know about you but I am not all that eager on having a human growing inside me at this moment. You should get to work Barry. Don't want to break your streak now do you Barry?"

"As you wish Dr. Snow." Barry gave her a smile before getting ready to go to work.

Iron Heights Prison

8:43 AM

Recently Barry felt like he was being called into a brand-new crime scene everyday if not once a week. Thanks to having both Caitlin and Ben around Barry had started to develop the habit of actually being on time once in a while. Normally going to crime scenes did not bug him as it was a reminder that he still had a day job even though each one meant he and the rest of the team were too slow. But this time he could not hide any of the expressions his face was displaying. Iron Heights harbored a plethora of different emotions for Barry; guilt, sadness, and anger just to name a few. He walked past dozens of injured prison guards only catching the words of a single one.

"We heard the alarm and moved to investigate then BOOM! A man in a black suit came out of nowhere threw us around like ragdolls… I have no idea how any of us are still alive…"

"Can you describe this man?" Barry noticed Eddie was the detective interviewing the victims.

The guard shook his head. "I… I don't know… it all happened so fast… one minute there was nothing then suddenly this man with a flaming skull clad all in black was there…"

"Okay… thank you." Eddie thanked the injured guard before joining Barry.

"So, this flaming skull speedster, is that the Speed Demon everyone was talking about?" Eddie asked his brother-in-law.

"Sounds like it. Caitlin and I only saw him once and that was a brief second when he tried to kill Ben."

"Yeah, back when I was wearing that anklet that suppressed my powers. I honestly would be dead if Barry hadn't saved me." Ben joined his dad and uncle as they made their way to the murder scene.

Needless to say, when they arrived at the cells of Dawn and Don West-Allen they were met with the horrific smell of charred flesh.

"My god…" The three speedsters laid their eyes upon the melted cells and the scorched skeletons of the Tempest Twins.

Barry could not believe what he was seeing as he read the literal writing on the wall, written in the blood of his children from an alternate reality's possible future. It unnerved him a little. He turned to Joe who gave him a shrug so Barry turned to Ben. The young time traveler was staring at the bloody message he could not tear his eyes away. How could six little words affect a person like this?

THE DEVIL IS COMING FOR YOU

'The Devil Is Coming for you?' What do you suppose that means?" Joe asked his son and future Grandson.

"It's a threat… from Speed Demon." Ben said quietly. "He's aiming it at me. Calling me out."

"Why would he be calling you out?"

"Because he wants to end this." Ben said "Speed Demon wants this feud between the two of us to end as much as I do, but the only way he will accept it ending is if he kills me." Ben abruptly turned around and began to march to the prison's exit until Barry caught up with him pulling him to the side.

"How can you possibly know this is aimed at you? Isn't there a chance this is aimed at Godspeed? You know" Barry looked to make sure no one heard the next words. "Don and Dawn worked for Godspeed, as did XLR8."

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?"

"Speed Demon want's a fight, I'll give him one." Ben said firmly. "I know they were evil but no one deserves to die. The Tempest Twins, XLR8 and countless other speedsters didn't deserve to have their speed and lives taken from them! I won't let the monster I created ruin anymore lives! Hell, who's to say he won't go after you and Caitlin to get to me?"

Hearing his son's determination Barry could not help but feel prideful but also sad at how easily Ben was willing to give his own life for those that he loved. "Ben…please don't do anything reckless. We'll find a way to stop Speed Demon together."

"Allen! Heart!" Barry and Ben turned to see Julian. "The Captain is calling us."

"Can our forensics team determine exactly what happened?" Captain Singh asked Barry and Julian

Julian looked up from the charred skeleton of what must have been the meta-human Overload. "Time of death will be difficult to determine, but camera footage cut out at Nine Thirty last night. So perhaps Time of Death is around the same time." Julian said which caught Barry's attention. "I honestly cannot make a definitive judgement without more evidence."

Time of death was around the same time Ben went missing and supposedly blacked out and according to Caitlin she found Ben with blood on his hands. Barry turned to his future son, this was far too large of a coincidence for him to just accept and it would not be the first time they've seen a speedster be in two places at once.

"Excuse me Captain, I would like to have a word with Detective Heart." Barry asked his boss and once he got the approval he walked over to Ben. Barry made sure he and his son were out of ear shot of the rest of the force before continuing. "Ben, can we talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about Barry." Ben brushed aside his father's plea. "Speed Demon is calling me out. It's time I stopped running away."

"That's exactly what I want to talk to you about. Look… this probably sounds crazy to you and it is probably not true but we have seen some pretty messed up things in my tenue as The Flash."

Ben sighed and turned to his father. "What are you trying to say exactly?"

"I know you're more concerned about what Godspeed has planned for your mother and I, but I cannot help but feel like Speed Demon is the bigger threat. From what we know Godspeed will be beaten, you said so yourself."

"Barry, I never said that. I have no idea how you stopped Godspeed or even if you did." Barry was quite surprised. "And these blackouts are making it really difficult for me to remember what is supposed to happen. Especially when to conflicting images meld together and I cannot what's real."

"How long have you been having these blackouts?" Barry asked seriously concerned for his son. Last year he and the team had come across multiple meta-humans who experienced blackouts whenever their powers kicked in. Could his son be experiencing repercussions from Flashpoint? Was that even possible? Sure, there was a chance that Ben could have been born in Flashpoint given how things were progressing in that altered timeline, but Barry reset the timeline before he should have been conceived, unless he already was.

"Ever since the fight with the tempest twins." Ben explained. He was sure Caitlin had told Barry that, though maybe she did not. "When I entered the storm, I saw…" images of Godspeed flashed across his vision. "I saw Godspeed…" Ben's eyes widened with realization. "I think he did something to me in that storm!"

"Whoa slowdown Ben, that's quite the jump, don't you think?"

Ben shook his head. "I don't think so. I think Godspeed hit me with a lightning bolt and that is why I am now having blackouts."

"Ben, calm down."

"I AM CALM!" Ben screamed. "GODSPEED AND SPEED DEMON HAVE BEEN MESSING WITH ALL OF US FOR TOO LONG! AND NOW THAT I'M WILLING TO MAN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MONSTER I CREATED YOU'RE TRYING TO STOP ME!"

"I am not trying to stop you!" The Flash fired back. "I want to take these two bastards down as much as you do! But to do that You need your head screwed on straight!" Barry placed a firm hand on his son's shoulder. "Please… I need you at full capacity if we want to protect Caitlin from Godspeed."

"I… I just want to know what's wrong with me Barry…" Ben could hardly hold back the tears in his eyes as Barry pulled him into a tighter embrace.

"I promise Ben, we'll find out what's happening to you and reverse it.

Central City Picture News

9:20 AM

Iris sat at her computer writing her story regarding the local speedsters saving the city from the Tempest Twins.

Flash Family Saves City from Devastating Storm

Iris West-Thawne

On the coat tails of what was an unusual weather phenomenon The Flash Family arrived on scene to thwart the devastation caused by a pair of villains known as The Tempest Twins…

Iris leaned back in her chair and thought back to yesterday where, against the judgement of Eddie, Barry and her father she went to talk with the so-called Tempest Twins.

Iron Heights Prison

Yesterday 3:27 PM

Iris strode confidently into Iron Heights Prison. She was on a mission to uncover the truth and inform the people about the Truth. No one knew she was here, she had to go through several lengths to ditch her two shadows named Derick and Daphne North. They were quite charming but good god they did not leave her alone.

"Welcome Mrs. Thawne." The guard gave her a little tip of his hat.

Iris nodded as she placed her phone, watch and jewelry into the tray before walking through the metal detector. "Thank you."

She retrieved her phone but nothing else as the guard led her through to the Meta-Human ward. They traveled silently down the halls walking past the cells of the prison containing the super powered individuals of the Flash's Rouges Gallery; including Mark Mardon aka Weather Wizard, Joey Monteleone aka Tar Pit, Sam Scudder the Mirror Master and his girlfriend Rosa Dillon also known as the Top.

Iris ignored all the taunts and jeers she got as she was led down the hall into a specially designed interview room, one that would allow someone to interact with Meta-Human Inmates while they were depowered and keep said person fairly unknown.

Iris sat in the metal chair a dark shadow cast across her face as she looked through the one-way glass to watch The Tempest Twins being led into the room restrained via meta-human cuffs and for the first-time Iris got a good look at her children form an alternate reality.

Dawn was a beautiful young woman despite being a psychopath. She looked remarkably like Iris to the point they could have been mistaken for sisters much in the same way Ben was a dead ringer for Barry. Her shoulder length black hair was pulled up in a ponytail with only a few strands left free to frame her face. She wore a white muscle shirt instead of the usual prison garb and Iris saw the tattoo covering her left arm, it was of a large destructive tornado tearing apart a city.

Don was much gruffer than his sister. His face definitely had the same structure as Barry but with darker skin, shaggy black hair and deep brown eyes. Like his sister, he also wore a white undershirt which exposed a large tattoo, consisting of dozens of large lightning bolts obliterating a city, running down his right arm.

"So, to what do we owe this pleasure?" Dawn asked.

"I'm a reporter for Central City Picture News." Iris said through the voice modulator. "The people of Central City have the right to know why you were trying to destroy the City."

"The people have the right to know? Or you want to know?" Don asked cocking his eyebrow. Iris visibly stiffened despite them being unable to see her through the glass window. "It's fairly obvious you have ties to The Flash and his cohorts. Godspeed gave us a rundown on his team."

"You know Godspeed? Then tell us everything you know about him."

Dawn leaned back as far as she could. "Why? Why should we help you? I thought you were just some reporter."

"Why would we betray the man who promised us vengeance against the thing that murdered our father and the bitch who took everything from us?"

"Because you've terrorized this city! The least you could do is help the Flash save it! Isn't that what your parents would want?" Iris tried appealing to their better nature. If they were truly Her and Barry's children, then why were they like this? All twisted and evil.

Don got angry lunging as far forward as his restraints would allow, making iris jump back slightly. "What our parents want? You know nothing about what our parents want! It was thanks to our parents we owned our city! No one would challenge our family!"

"Why not tell me your story." Iris said leaning forward though they could not see. Just what happened in their reality? Harry had warned them two years ago, about allowing knowledge of other earths and possible futures form influencing their lives, but this was where human curiosity became a bitch. She just had to know.

"You want to know our story?" Dawn asked smirked. "Then I'll tell you, A long time ago…"

CCPN

Present Time

Things may appear to get darker in time but we cannot give in, the days get brighter after the darkest night. So long as the Flash Family is around Central City shall always have a bright future no matter what manner of Meta-Human arrives on our doorstep.

Iris leaned back and re-read her article. In her opinion it was not her best work, perhaps an interview with Ben would prove more hopeful than getting stories from Barry or Eddie. Most of the time she did not need to interview them considering she didn't want to be known as The Flash Family's PR rep, not that it was a bad thing.

"Iris!" Iris was snapped out of her thoughts by Scott standing behind her. "How's your article coming?"

Iris turned to her editor. "I've finished it she said."

"That's good but I want you on a different story."

Annoyance flashed across Iris' face. She had spent yesterday and this morning writing this story and Scott was basically telling her he wasn't going to run with it. "With all due respect, Scott, you put me on this assignment so I will be seeing it through."

"Normally I'd agree with you but I want you on the double homicide at Iron Heights."

"Double homicide?" Iris asked

"I'm asking you because it's supposedly tied to the Flash. Rumor is he broke into the prison and murdered two inmates."

"That's impossible! The Flash would never do something like that!"

"We don't write opinion pieces Iris. Get out there and prove that he did not do it." Scott said simply. "And let the people know the true about what is happening around this city. If it wasn't the Flash who could have murdered those two inmates? I want this done by tonight so we can print within twenty-four hours."

Iris got up from her desk and grabbed her purse. She needed to check with her dad, Barry and Eddie about what happened at Iron Heights. Sure they were not at liberty to discuss an open police investigation but Iris could be persistent.

"Iris!" She was about to get in her car when she heard her voice. Looking over her shoulder she saw her two shadows jogging to catch up with her.

"Oh, good morning Daphne, Derrick." She greeted the two interns. "Can I help you?"

"Uh… maybe. Are you off to write that story Scott was talking about?" Daphne asked

"I am, but first I need to go visit the Police Department."

"That's fine we'll go with you." Derrick offered. "I'm sure you could use the help."

Iris offered the twins a smile. "That's kind of you but I'll be on this story later. I'm off to have a chat with my brother." That ought to through them off her trail since they shouldn't know if she was talking about Wally or Barry, besides she needed to swing by STAR Labs, undoubtedly the team was gathered there to discuss this event if it was a Meta-Human capable of moving as fast as The Flash.

S.T.A.R. Labs, Cortex

11:20 AM

The entirety of Team Flash had gathered in the cortex while on of the monitors displayed Speed Demon's grizzly message for all of them to see.

"'The Devil is coming for you?' Seems like this guy is fairly 'Hail Satan' oriented." Cisco joked.

"Not really a good joke Cisco." Ben said folding his arms across his chest. "Last year you all fought the self-proclaimed God of Speed, Savitar, this year not only are we dealing with Godspeed, a man whose goals are completely unknown to us, we are dealing with what speedsters can and should equivalate to the actual Devil."

"Right, so what do we know about him?" Barry asked. "Aside from his habit of murdering and draining speedsters of their lives and speed."

"Well, we also know he's tethered to my original time." Ben explained. "He cannot be in this time for that long."

"So, we just keep him stuck here and that should solve our problem?" Kid Flash asked.

"That seems like an option, does anyone here know how to build a device that can sever his connection to the Speed Force?"

"Well…" Everyone turned to Caitlin as she spoke up. "What if we use Velocity 9 on him?" Barry looked at Caitlin completely stunned. "It can disrupt and even destroy his connection to the Speed Force as it did with Jay…I mean Zoom."

"Cait… what happened to being a physician who cannot in good conscience give Velocity 9 to anyone?"

"I… I was just thinking out loud…" Caitlin looked down at her feet suddenly finding them the most interesting thing in the world.

"Either way, I don't think that will work since he can just absorb the speed of another speedster to cure himself from the detrimental effects of V9."

"What about Harry's speed stealing device?" Cisco asked "What if we somehow get that on him and then force him to run until there's no Speed Force left in his system?"

"Getting it on him is one challenge, keeping it on him is a whole other mess." Barry said.

"Is there really nothing we can do to stop him before he kills any more people?" Joe was far more concerned with the potential loss of life Speed Demon brought to the table, so far, his body count was at three with the potential to include, his sons, Caitlin, his son-in-law and his future grandson, Joe would be damned if he lost a large chunk of his family.

"What if maybe we open a breach to Earth-2." Wally spoke up.

"Why? You want to see your girlfriend?" Iris teased her brother.

Wally's face flushed red with embracement. "What? No! I just… well I was thinking maybe we could use Harry and Jesse's help with everything that's going on."

"Sure Wally." The young engineer smirked in a mocking tone. Yes, he was going to open a breach but it was not for Wally's 'reason' it was because Wall most definitely just wanted to see Jessie again. "We could use Harry and Jesse's help."

"Well, that's a start… get on that Cisco." Barry said. "While you're doing that maybe we sent word to Oliver and company…" Barry paused and there were some snickers. "I know what I said… I heard it as it came out."

Caitlin hid a chuckle. "Don't worry we won't tell Oliver."

"Right… Before that little interruption… I was going to say maybe we should also get Jay and Kara to help us." Barry continued. "Having them would be a big help."

"Wow… we're really thinking about bringing in twenty-five heroes to fight one man?" Eddie inquired. "Seems a little much don't you think?"

Ben shook his head. "Honestly I have no idea if twenty-five heroes is going to be enough. Speed Demon fought and killed many powerful heroes and this was after The Fall. I don't even know how many of my friends are still alive."

"Alright here's how it's going to work." Barry took charge of the group and began to divvy them up. "Cisco, Wally, you two, work on opening those breaches and contacting Jesse, Harry, Jay and Kara." Wally and Cisco nodded before they made their way down to the breach room." Iris can you get a message to Team Arrow?"

"I'm sure I can. I've got Felicity's number right here and I am sure they'll be over as fast as they can.

"Good. Now all we need to do is somehow get a message to a ragtag team of misfits aboard a Time Ship surfing the space time continuum. Thoughts?"

"Why don't we do what we did last time?" Eddie asked. "Besides it's a time machine, how could they possibly be late?"

"You think you can contact them Eddie?"

"Well I can do my best." Cobalt blue said before heading off to contact the time traveling misfits.

"And then there were four…" Ben mumbled as he, his parents and Joe were the only ones left in the room.

"What are you three going to be doing while everyone else gather's our forces?" Joe asked

"We are going to be helping Ben with his blackouts." Caitlin said taking her place beside her future son.

"Blackouts? Ben's having blackouts? Why?"

"That's what we're hoping to find out and hopefully we'll find a way to stop them before we have to face either Godspeed or Speed Demon." Barry said while turning to Ben. In truth Barry wanted to be sure that when Ben blacked out he wasn't developing a split personality because of Flashpoint, but he could not have Ben knowing that. It would crush him if Barry's hunch turned out to be true.
