There he was. The son of the bitch who forced his Warblers to be influenced by steroids. He had felt anger before but this was pure rage, he wanted to kill that son of a bitch. How dare he just turn up and expect to be welcomed wirh open arms, he hurt Wes' boys and he wasn't going to get away with it.

He knew he had to tell Barry, but he couldn't bring himself to leave the hall, he was hoping that soon Hunter would just disappear as fast as he did appear but he knew the world didn't work like that— well not in Dalton anyhow.

"Well if it isn't Drill Sargent Dip-wad" Wes inwardly cackled at the nickname Hunter had been given by Bas.

"If it isn't the Big Brother Bastard of the group" Hunter retorted, his eyes showing no sense of calmness, instead they showed a sense of anger, insecurities and mainly fear.

"I am in fact not here to cause an argument, Weston" Hunter smirked," I am here in fact to see a certain Sebastian Smythe, considering he is back in Ohio for the Christmas Party"

As much as Wes didn't want him anywhere near Bas, he wasn't holding any vendettas against Barry as they had settled all of their drama online after high school. He rolled his eyes but reluctantly agreed to take him to see Bas, he wanted to be there, however, in case things were to go south.

Barry was beyond freezing. He had lost feeling all across his body a long time ago, he knew that he could feel this numb before but usually it would've been through emotions, not through actually not being able to move his body. He couldn't even shiver to try and keep himself warm and to put the icing on top of the cake, he hadn't eaten in over 5 hours!

Barry was running the risk of going into hypoglycaemic shock and he didn't know when his team would be back to check on him. He understood why they did it, he truly did but it still hurt that they hadn't bothered to take the time to talk his feelings out. He had bottled them up since his dad's death and their resolution to it was to lock him up in his own bedroom and freeze him to death.

He started to feel lightheaded, his vision was swimming, he had never felt so dizzy in his entire life and that was saying something, after dealing with the nightmares from his mother's murder he hadn't actually felt this tired before now.

'If I lie down then maybe it'll pass' Barry thought, so he positioned himself onto his side, his head lying on the pillow so he was facing the wall, where his team were sat hours ago. The feeling of wanting to sleep only intensified, making his eyes become heavy from fighting the urge to just shut them.

He finally gave in, he felt his eyelids close and welcomed the painless abyss, his body shutting off from the outside world as every sound and feeling was cut off, leaving him lying still and unable to awake himself.

(A/N: I literally cba to write the part where Team Flash fail against Zoom but they do and Joe is taken by Zoom and Wally doesn't know yet that they've been doing that :) )

When Wes and Hunter arrived at the Smythe residence, they expected their to be a living room full of people but no-one was there. They walked up the staircase and started walking around, it was unusual for them to leave the front door unlocked, especially with no-one there.

Wes was walking down this corridor and that's when he felt it. He felt the coolness being emitted from one of the doors near him, he just had to figure out which one. He pressed his body against each one, feeling the coolness reply as he was at the last door of the hallway; it was Seb's room.

He tried to open the door but to no avail, it was locked shut. Thinking quickly, he yelled for Hunter, who came barging towards him with concern in his eyes, it had been not long since Hunter had came off of one of his Roid Rages and he was glad that he finally became able to control himself.

"We need to break the door down" he said simply, motioning for Wes to move out of the way. He listened to Hunter, and watched in amazement as the blonde haired man rammed all of his body weight into the door, shattering it within seconds.

The sight they saw made their blood run cold. There he was, lying on his bed, handcuffed and as white as the sheets underneath him. They ran into the room, with Wes trying to rouse the sleeping Speedster whilst Hunter looked for a key to unlock the cuffs.

"I bet the rest of his friends did this. They were all against him doing something and they were talking about a tatic to stop him" Wes explained briefly, kneeling down next to Barry's head. He was ice cold to the touch and Wes didn't like it.

"Got it!" Hunter yelled, running towards the bed, falling to his knees as he raced to unlock his friend's wrists.

The cuffs came off and they saw the slight burn marks on his wrists, clearly those cuffs were special and decided to act up. Wes picked the unconscious man up, holding him bridal style whilst they ran downstairs and sprawled him onto the couch, making sure they placed enough blankets on him to start to bring his temperature up.

Wes sat on the edge of one of the cushions, his body was facing Seb's whilst he had his hand running through his hair ever so gently, he could've lost his little brother today but thankfully he didn't.

"As much as I know they didn't mean to.. they-they almost killed him" Wes said softly, his eyes brimming with tears at the thought of finding his corpse lying in his bed, completely frozen to death.

Hunter pulled Wes into a one-armed hug, rubbing his back as he felt the trembling body of the man in his arm.

"He'll be okay.. shhh, shhh, everything will be okay" Hunter reassured, turning his head to face Barry's, who remained still.

After another excruciating hour, Barry finally showed signs of warming up. His body was finally starting to shiver and he seemed slightly aware to the warmth from the blankets as he lightly flinched when a new layer was added. They had grabbed a pillow and a duvet and set Barry underneath it with Hunter having his arm wrapped protectively around the younger man.

2 hours later and Barry was finally starting to stir, it had taken awhile for his speedy regeneration to kick in but it had and now Barry was returning to a safer temperature.

"Bear?" Wes questioned, leaving his spot on the couch to crouch down by the pair, his hand placed on the duvet.

Barry's head was moving, even if it was only twitching, it showed signs of movement and any type of movement made Wes feel better.

"Come back to us" Hunter whispered into Barry's ear, using the hand that was with the arm that was slung across Barry's shoulders to rub comforting circles into his shoulder.

Finally, after what seemed like days to Wes, Barry finally opened his eyes to a blurry world, his eyes sluggishly fount Wes' and he tried to smile but was confused on what had happened. The last thing he remembered was the numbness and the hunger he was feeling from the tranq that but he was downstairs, being held by Hunter Clarington of all people and his older brother being concerned about him.

"H'ppn'd?" His teeth were clattering loudly, he wanted to know what caused him to feel so god damn cold.

Wes and Hunter looked at one another, before turning back to the confused man, who's eyes were starting to droop again, thankfully though, Hunter knew what to do wirh people who had Hypothermia and made sure that his eyes didn't shut.

"You've got Hypothermia, okay? We need you to stay awake, okay?" Hunter asked, lightly tapping Barry's cheek to make him open his eyes.

The whimper that came out of Barry's mouth made his heartbreak. He was in so much pain and he couldn't take it away from him, he turned towards Wes, who looked like he was thinking of the same thing.

"Bear.. once you warm up you can go back to sleep" Wes said softly, gently placing his hand onto Barry's forehead, wiping some of his hair away before kissing his forehead.

"Z-zoom.." his teeth were banging against each other, he couldn't control how bad he was shaking but he wanted it to stop, he would've given anything for his shaking to give up.

"Hey.. think about that reject once you're better. I don't know where your team is but to be honest I don't want them near you, okay?" Wes explained, watching Barry nod against Hunter's neck.

It had been 4 hours since Barry had been confined in the Smythe residence, since then, he had improved a lot, he was no longer shaking and he had finally drifted to sleep like Wes promised him he could do.

"Who's Zoom and what has he got to do with Bas?" Hunter asked, making Wes sigh.. this was about to be a long story.

Team Flash, minus Joe, had rallied into Dalton Academy, seeking shelter in the Warblers common room, they didn't dare go home, considering Wes had left them a very scripted message ranting his concerns.

The Warblers all watched in confusion as they watched Cisco— vibe? The term was still being used loosely but that wasn't their fault, they hadn't exactly had the experience with all of this mess.

When Cisco came out of the vibe, he rubbed his temples, sighing angrily. Iris looked at him from where she was standing, her hands placed onto the table in front of her, "did you see my dad?"

"No, the vibe keeps changing. It's like, my brain is channel surfing or something" Cisco replied, not looking at Iris.

"He must be on the move, that's why the vibe's in flux, keep trying" Caitlin answered, eyeing up Cisco mainly.

David remained quiet. He was too oblivious to everything Barry had been through and now the death of his father was weighing on his consciousness, he didn't deserve that burden to rest upon his shoulders, but no-one could realistically do anything to relieve him of it.

Harry and Jesse walked in, looking as glum as can be. Their whole demeanour was different, they seemed to have their shoulders sagged instead of looking confident, that definitely wasn't a good sign.

"Hey, did you turn off the Magnatar?" Caitlin asked excitedly, she was extremely nervous to find out if they had or not as the private jet made two stops, one to pick up Caitlin, Cisco and Iris, the other to pick up Jesse and Harry.

"No, there's no messing with that thing" Harry replied simply, she had watched Joe get taken and yet she's still optimistic, she really was similar to Barry in some scenarios, "whatever he did to it, we try and touch it, we try and move it, this plan is done for"

Just then, Wally stormed in, he seemed slightly mad but no-one cared, Team Flash were too distracted to care whilst the others didn't exactly notice his presence.

"Iris," Wally said, making her jump, "what's wrong?"

Wally studied his sister's face, she seemed worn out and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, she hated watching her dad get taken by Zoom, she absolutely hated it but a part of her knew that he wouldn't be harmed, a part of her believed that Eobard wouldn't allow any harm to appear on her dad.

Iris was speechless, how was she supposed to tell Wally that their father had been taken? How was she meant to do it? She knew that no-one else would so she took a deep breath, "Zoom took dad.."
