Welcome Ladies and gentlemen to chapter 3. First I would like to sincerely apologize for taking so long to get it out. School Work has been keeping me preoccupied with all the tests and quizzes I need to study for. Someone pointed out to me I made a mistake in the last chapter. Thanks Zoom99 I will be doing a rewrite on some chapters making changes and fixing errors or mistakes. Anyways to the question you guys all left in reviews. Oh, I almost forgot to thank you everybody for the 16 reviews, 81 followers, and 65 favorites. I really appreciate all of the love and support you've given me.

RedEyesInferno: He just analyzed August blood with his to compare them to figure out if he is a speedster or not. Which he obviously isn't.

Guest: Don't worry I already have few villains in mind that other superheroes have fought for our favorite scarlet speedster.

Shadowdrogondanny: I am going to make him have a love life but my SI doesn't see the point of having a love life if he is going to be dead in 10 years if he can't prevent the crisis or even survive it. That is going to be his main focus right now but don't worry it will change in future chapters.

"Are you seeing what I am seeing?"

"If your talking about the fact, you've managed to manipulate extremus nanobots to increase bone density and muscle mass, then yes I do."

"I was being rhetorical."

"But I chose to answer, was that wrong."

Snarky machine.

It has been a few days since the trip to Gotham and Joe wasn't happy about it. I told him part of the truth that me and Ralph went to Gotham City to meet the Batman but he is still in the dark about investigating my mother's death. He had a look of disbelief, fear, anger and pride. Disbelief that there was a human hybrid Crocodile but after Ralph backed me up and saw a newspaper showing proof croc was real he was convinced. He had a look of fear of something bad happening to me and someone like croc existed. He was also proud of me that I saved a bus full of people. Anger that I did something so reckless and dangerous.

* Flashback*

Joe didn't even had time to form any words he had a skeptical look on his face when I told him my story. The only reason he was considering this was true well because Barry provided scientific evidence that animal human hybrids exist. Joe may not be as smart as Barry or Harrison Wells the scientist he's obsessed with but after everything he told him Joe doubts Barry is making this up.

"Look Joe I know it sounds a little far fetched but it's true. If you don't believe ask Ralph he was there and the Gotham Times newspaper. Pictures don't lie Joe." I logically said.

Joe just sighed and said. "Barry never ever do anything like that again. What you did was reckless and dangerous you could have been killed. You had Iris and me worried sick when you weren't answering our calls."

"I know I could have been killed truth is I was terrified. I have never seen something so monstrous and terrifying." I confessed. Looking down guilty that I worried Joe so much.

"But it was also very brave I don't know if I could have done what you did and acted, if I was in your position Barr." Joe said. Proud of Barry's courage.

"Just promise me you will never do something like that again and tell us when you are going to be making a trip." Joe said.

I sighed "I promise Joe I will always let you know when I am making trip but if people are in danger I won't just turn tail and run the other way I will stay there and help." I said.

Joe sighed he didn't want to argue with Barry right now at this late at night. "We'll talk about this more later"

"Alright, so what's for dinner I am starving" I replied.

Joe up from his chair and went into the kitchen and arrived "Here, tacos for dinner I didn't know if you got your own food or not so I decided to reheat what me and Iris had for dinner." Joe said giving me a plate with two tacos on it.

"Thanks Joe" I said. I began to dig into my tacos…

*Flashback ends*

Right now I am using an abandoned warehouse as my base of operations when I become the Flash and other projects I have been working on. The only people who know about it are Ralph and Iris. They were a little surprised when I showed them this place and questioned why. I told them I needed a place with peace, and quiet. I also wanted a place where I can stretch my brain to create new inventions and ideas I had in mind. I didn't want to use the CSI lab because August works there and well someone can just easily walk in and then discover that I am secretly a super fast superhero.

I managed to redecorate the place to look cleaner and organized some of the scraps I took from junkyards. I had an assortment of chemicals with my laptop, Biometric enhancer, and I had Gideon copied herself into every accessible computer on the internet. I also had put in several projects one was dubbed project Justice league so far she has managed to locate Arthur Curry also known as Aquaman. I already have a list of candidates for the league; Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Flash, and Green Lantern.

"Gideon pull up project Justice League." I requested.

"Of course creator Barry." Gideon said pulling up my list of members I have for this universe Justice League.

I snorted. "Gideon please you can just call me Barry."

"Apologizes Barry I however, have a question if you don't mind." Gideon asked.

"Shoot." I said.

"Why are you creating a team known as the Justice League? Is earth incompatible to defend itself?" Gideon questioned.

"Yes, it is Gideon the world needs heroes willing to fight for it. I don't like to say it but the galaxy is a sick and cruel place with beings who could be considered Gods. Some would choose to use their gifts for good, others would use them for evil." I said. I meant every word of it people like Superman, Darkseid, and Vandal Savage each of those extraordinary people can be considered one. Each of them are an example of how dangerous the universe is Superman for one chooses to use his powers to inspire people and save them. People were lucky to have him as a guardian not a conqueror. Darkseid though he doesn't care about protecting the universe he simply wishes to rule it like how Vandal Savage almost succeeded in conquering Earth. Well technically he did conquer Earth in another timeline but the Legends prevented that timeline from ever existing. Which is something I need to stop from happening by not time traveling at all when I battle him. Still would that work or were some events bound to happen regardless of whether time traveling was involved or not? Would Savitar still be born whether or not Flashpoint is created?

"You know more than you're letting on." Gideon stated.

Clever girl but then again I did create her building the components necessary weren't easy since 90% of them are from junkyard the rest are from my hard earned cash. I also made a few adjustments with our future encounterment with Devoe I added a really nasty virus in case anyone would try hacker her specifically ones with the powers who can control technology. Part of me wanted to try to convince Devoe not use his thinking cap but decided against because Devoe is pessimist I doubt who would be so willing to change his belief. If I do walk up to and try to convince him to stop and fail he will be able to calculate a near infinite number variables he could figure out I'm not who I say I am and decide to accelerate his plans. If I were to try to destroy his thinking cap he would still rebuilt it and find a way to power the cap with dark matter.

"Your right I do, but please you have to understand there are somethings I can't tell you." I said.

"Of course, Barry it is completely up to you to deem when it is necessary to tell me the full story or to any of your friends and family." Gideon replied

"Thank you Gideon." I said.

Suddenly an idea came to mind "Gideon can you search for any siblings Lex Luthor has"

"Of course Barry" Gideon said searching through the database pulled up a picture is when my blood froze Clark Luthor he looks exactly the Tom Welling version of Superman only this time it is Ultraman the evil one from Earth-2 in the smallville show. I mentally scowled how did I not see this and why did I have to end up in a universe that has an evil version of Superman.

I sighed "Gideon has Hal Jordan acquired a green ring of sorts?" I knew there was a Hal Jordan of in this universe hopefully he becomes a Green Lantern.

"Affirmative Barry. There have been rumors of a Green Lantern mysteriously saving people" Gideon answered.

I smiled at least there was some form of good news. Maybe having Ultraman in this universe could work to my advantage.

"Gideon could you make a slight modification to the miniature spy bots design?" I asked. I built some miniaturized robots to spy on people.

"Of course Barry but what modification do you want me to make?" Gideon questioned.

I smirked. "Make the design able to take blood samples sort of like a mosquitoes."

I heard someone knock on my door I use one of my cameras I installed in my Flash cave. I made sure this place can only be opened by the few people that I trust. I know there is some meta-humans who can shape shift to trick a DNA scan that's why I told Gideon to only let people in if they know the password.

I pressed a button to allow me to speak through the comms "Sorry Iris but you know the rules I can't let you in until you tell me the password"

Iris sighed in annoyance. "Barry this is ridiculous you know it's me."

I snorted "Nice try Iris how do I know you're not some kind of alien disguised as Iris."

Iris rolled her eyes "Hamdumbhangingpork"

The door opened.

Iris walked in with a look of annoyance "What is with you and your new found paranoia?"

I grinned "Alright first there is nothing wrong with me taking action with the fact that aliens might exist. Second it's not paranoia if everyone is out to get you."

Iris shook her head in frustration "Barry I think you need to stop watching the Men In Black so much."

I merely rolled my eyes at that comment.

"Wow look at what you have done with your fortress of solitude" Iris commented. Looking around seeing an assortment of chemicals arranged in order.

I snorted at the unintentional reference of Superman's home away from home. "Fortress of solitude?"

"Well, yes considering you spend most of your time here. I thought it would be only fitting to give this place a name" Iris answered.

"Really, I kinda like it the name fits" I said. Before you know it, I just created my own flash cave where I store all my fancy gadgets and tech. "So why are here were the ideas I gave you to write article didn't pan out?" I asked. I decided to increase the timetable of when Iris gets into journalism. I gave her the idea to get into journalism about a week ago.

"No, it's not that some of the ideas you gave me, I really enjoy writing about." Iris said. She really appreciated the idea to get into journalism although she thought Barry might have gone a bit overkill with some of the ideas he had for an article. No the reason she was here because something has been a little off with Barry."Why I am here is because I want to know what is going on with you." Iris said.

I smirked "Didn't you already ask that question? Besides why, are not enjoying my new found sense of humor?"

Iris laughed "As much as I enjoy watching my dad being annoyed to death with your dry sarcasm and taking figures of speech literally. That's not what I am talking about you just seem wiser and experienced like you've seen a lot throughout your life."

"Your right I am that is why I created this place as my fortress of solitude. Gideon why don't you introduce yourself." I answered but also somewhat deflecting her question.

Iris jumped when she noticed a blue headed hologram "Hello Ms. West my name is Gideon an Artificial intelligence created by Barry to assist him or his friends and family in any way possible." Gideon greeted.

Iris had a look of surprise. "You created an AI." Iris questioned. I nodded. "Barry you could be a scientist working at a place like STAR labs where that scientist Dr. Wells you keep talking about."

"Your right I could be Iris but I prefer to be a CSI." I paused "I guess you could say I have trouble moving on." I said that is part of the reason why I am CSI now. The main reason is because if I started working there Eobard might notice something is up. It is the same reason why I haven't tried to sneak into his so called time vault. Until I gain my superpowers I don't want to risk drawing his attention or else he will know I am onto him.

"I'm so sorry Barry I didn't mean to bring up bad memories" Iris said sympathetically. Realizing he was talking about his mother. Putting a hand on my shoulder to comfort me.

"Thank you, Iris and It's ok you didn't know." I replied.

Iris still felt a little guilty. "Dad wanted me to tell were having pizza tonight and to give you this." Pulling out a paper thin package.

I raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" I questioned. Grabbing the package.

Iris shrugged. "Don't know it didn't say who it was delivered anonymously."

"Thank you Iris tell Joe I'll be home for dinner" I said. Looking at the package examining it whatever is inside it is metallic.

"When will you be coming home?" Iris questioned.

"Well it depends on whatever is inside of here." I said. "I should be home in 1 hour to 45 minutes."

Iris accepted my answer and went home.

Now time to see whatever is in here. I began to tear it open and I found a burner phone inside it. "Could it be, probably." I mused.

I picked up the phone and pressed the number "I gotta say I didn't expect you would give me a way to contact you." I said.

"Don't try to track this." Batman said.

"I doubt I could track it even if I wanted to." I said. Which was true I probably couldn't hacked into the batcomputer but Gideon on the other hand though.

"Why were in Gotham City?" Batman questioned. Getting straight to the point.

I smirked. "That's a good question but then again you already know."

"You went there to enlist my help to solving your mother's death." Batman said.

"Yes, I didn't tell you early because you would probably think as a way to repay your debt for saving your life. That wasn't why I saved you though you don't owe me anything I just did what anyone else would have done." I said modestly.

Batman was silent for a couple seconds "Kid you are a dying breed."

I was shocked for a moment did the Batman just compliment me.

"Thank you Batman but you probably just think of me as the kid who was just trying to cover for his dad." I stated somberly. Having Barry's memories of where everybody told me what I saw was impossible filled me with anger and annoyance for nobody believing me.

"I don't, I believe your father is innocent" Batman said.

"I- you do, thank you Batman" I felt hopeful knowing there was another person who knew my father was innocent. Speaking of dad I actually paid him a visit a couple days ago to tell him about my trip to Gotham. He had both an expression of fear and pride when I told him how me and Ralph saved a bus full of people and the Batman

I know who did it but I can't tell Batman without alerting Eobard I'm onto him. I already had a main plan a backup, a plan plan, and several contingency plans in place for him. I trusted Batman I knew he was the type of man to make sure justice is served in a court of law however, like I just said Eobard can't know I'm onto him this requires patience and precision. Eobard made plans to get home for about 15 years and made sure everything was well planned out and orcatriated.

"I have proof that the man in yellow exist photos of him breaking into my house that night and killing my mother but it's a little hard to explain you would need to see them for yourself" I said.

"Why?" Batman asked.

"Why it's simple I trust you," I said.

"I'll help you but I need you to do something for me" Batman said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I need you to stop investigating into your mother's death" Batman said.

I sighed I had a feeling he would ask me to do something like this. "Batman I can't let this go you have to understand this man killed my mother"

"I want you to head to Gotham and meet me on the GCPD building to deliver the photos alone" Batman said his tone indicating end of discussion. He hung up.

I grumbled.

After the phone call from Batman I started to head home and when I got apparently today was my birthday November 6th. Joe, Iris, Ralph, and August were all planning to give me a surprise party for my birthday with cake, presents, and everything. I was very curious to see what they got me especially from August and Ralph considering that weren't friends with Barry in the tv shows. Well technically Ralph and Barry did become friends but that only happened until season 4 of the Flash. It makes me wonder would Ralph still become elongated man? If he did would it be during the particle accelerator explosion? Or when Devoe created the bus metas?

"Thank you guys for giving me a birthday surprise party," I said.

"There's no need to thank us Barry. Besides its your birthday, the one year you get to be selfish" August said.

I almost didn't notice his somber look for a moment.

"What's wrong August?" I asked.

"Nothing wrong I'm good." August said a little bit too quickly.

"It's just I thought I saw you look upset for a moment" I said bluntly.

"I-It's just-." August sighed. "Birthdays just remind me of my brother."

"Your brother? What about him?" I asked curiously.

"He died during one of my birthday parties." August said sadly.

"I'm sorry August." I apologized.

He waved off the apology "It's not your fault Barry. You have nothing to apologize for."

"Still August I shouldn't have brought it up." I said.

"Barry really it's ok." August assures him.

August seems like such a good guy I'm still finding it hard to believe he is going to be one of my greatest enemies. Should I try to change his fate? I already made plans to stop Ramsey from becoming Bloodwork by creating the nanobots to cure him and his mother of HLH. That's the thing though I know what caused Ramsey to become Bloodwork it was desperation to cure himself. I always found him as a season six villain in the flash tv series rather related table and symbolic towards Barry's so called impending doom teaching the viewers that death is a natural part of life. You know the old saying you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I don't know what caused August to become Godspeed was it him having powers thinking himself god? Was it Barry keeping his secret identity from him? Therefore breaking his trust and friendship towards each other.

I know some of the flash's greatest enemies become enemies regardless of what I do because some of them are criminals and just enjoy the suffering of others. Sure Ramsey might not become Bloodwork anymore when I cure him but someone else could still take up the mantle besides him. This might not involve time travel but I am still creating changes from the original timeline like Dr Wells said any change no matter how small will create a cataclysm. It has been 5 months since I made the change of stopping Ralph from making a horrible mistake. Some have the changes are good for one Ralph still a detective. Bad are ones like August here since he will become Godspeed. Did August show up because of the change I made to Ralph fate? Hmm if I did then I need to be more careful with the alterations with the changes I made.

"Alright let's get to opening these goodies" I said excitedly. Rubbing my hands together.

The first present I opened was a new type of advance Microscope from Iris, several Books about mechanics I wanted to get from August and Ralph, and a book from Harrison wells that I asked Joe to get me. Eobard might have been evil but he truly was a genius some of the papers he wrote were very interesting. They spoke about harsenning Dark matter and converting it into energy as new type of fuel to power electricity having little greenhouse effect and how the medical applications could improve the human body's immune system making it more resistant and able to combat diseases better. I suppose his stolen theories are very well supported only it won't just cause advances in science decades ahead. It would create exotic evolution that would change the face of the Earth that would change everything we thought we knew about physics. Heck the flash practically breaks the laws of physics with his connection to the speed force.

"So how are you liking the surprise party so far" Iris asked.

"Well, I can tell you I am definitely surprised." I said.

Iris smiled. "Everyone of us planned this together not just me and dad, Ralph and August included."

"They are good people I would have to say I am lucky to have friends like them" I said. Which was true I was honestly surprised Ralph chose to believe me about my dad being innocent and finding out August exists in this universe as well.

I just realize something that I need to talk to Joe about his ex wife Francine and the fact that he has a son Wally. It took me awhile to find them but it was worth it I want Iris to be able to spend more time with her mom before she dies.

"I need to talk to your dad for a minute" I told Iris.

"Is there something wrong." Iris asked curious.

"Sorry but it's not my place to say" I said.

Iris looked confused.

"Everything will be explained once I am done talking to Joe" I said.

I put my glass of wine on the table and get up. "Joe can I talk to about something, in private"

Joe raised an eyebrow but nodded motioning him to follow me.

Once out of hearshot of everyone else Joe asked "Ok what did you want to talk about."

"Francine, you said she was dead but apparently not" I said deciding to be blunt.

Joe face instantly froze and blood went cold "I don't know-"

"Don't lie to me Joe it would be an insult to both of us," I said.

Joe sighed knowing Barry caught him "How did you know?"

I smiled "Since my mother died I decide to do a little investigating into Iris's mother's death and I was surprised not that only she was alive. She had a son named Wally."

"She had a son" Joe asked in surprise.

"Yes, his name is Wally West Iris has a right to know she her mom is alive" I said.

Joe had a wide eyed expression of surprise "I have a son"

"She was pregnant when she left Central City 20 years ago." I answered. If I recall from the tv show Wally West was 22 years old in season two. Right now he should be at least around 20 years was speechless. Who could blame him? He just found out he has a son that is practically all grown up not having a chance to raise him but at least Wally will have time to spend with his father.

"His real name is Wally West" I said.

"Wally" Joe repeated. "If it was a boy that's what I wanted to name my son."

Joe was trying to suppress the urge to cry. I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Joe what happened wasn't your fault. You didn't know Franchine was pregnant."

"Yes, it is Barry, it is my fault." Joe said, guilty.

"No, Joe it isn't you couldn't have predicted this" I replied.

"It's my job to predict this as a cop and a father" Joe argued.

"I get that you feel guilty and blame yourself for what's happening. You want me to continue telling it isn't your fault to make you feel better. I can't do that because guess what? It is your fault. What matters now is what you choose to do now are just going to stand here moping about blaming yourself or are you going to do something about it." I passionately stated.

"How on earth am I going to tell Iris all of this" Joe asked.

"Just start slowly beginning with Franchine leaving okay." I said.

Joe sighed "When did our lives start to become so complicated?"

"We live in a complicated world Joe there is still so much we don't know," I answered. Placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I get that your afraid to tell the truth about Iris's mom but over time she will forgive you. If you continue to keep the secret buried in the deepest darkest pit you can find it will eventually resurface. I just want Iris to spend as much time as possible with her mother."

Joe raised his eyebrows in suspicion "What are you talking about?"

Should I tell him that Franchine has a rare disease that is killing her? No, not yet he already has enough on his plate learning that he has a son.

I sighed, "When I lost my mother it was the worst feeling in the world Joe. The loneliness the pain aching in your heart. I want to Iris to spend as much time as possible with her mother because the next day or hour something bad could happen in just a flash."

Joe sighed rubbing a hand on his face "Ok, Barr I'll tell her."

"Iris" Joe said calling her name out.

"What is it?" Iris asked wondering what dad wants.

"Joe has something he wants to tell that he hasn't been entirely honest about." I said. I know I might be throwing him to the wolves but Joe needs to understand secrets only make things worse.

"Iris your mother is alive" Joe confessed.

"What? but that's impossible she's dead." Iris said confused.

"It's exactly how Barry worded it. I… haven't been entirely honest your mother was a drug addict. I got her in another rehab but a few days later she disappeared."

"She's-she" Iris stuttered unable to find the words.

"Yes, Iris she is alive I guess you could say when my mother died. I wanted to know what happened to yours and surprise, surprise, surprise your mother turned out to be alive." I said.

"This what you were talking about early when you said you needed to talk to Joe" Iris spoke surprised

"Look I know its a lot to take in but your mother is alive do you know how lucky you are." I said.

Iris looked down not saying anything for a few seconds "I need some time alone"

"Iris" Joe started.

"I want some time alone" Iris demanded.

I sighed. Did I make the right choice telling Iris her mother is alive? I sure hope I did I want her to spend more time with her mom before she dies. The tough part is finding out she is sick with Macgregor's disease. Wait a minute didn't Victor Fries wife suffer from the same disease. If I can find a cure I can not only prevent Franchine from dying I can also prevent Victor Fries from becoming Mr. Freeze there by hitting two birds with one stone. I sighed. I may have been able to create nanobots which will revolutionize the medical world help treat many diseases specifically cancer have the precision to target cancerous cells but this isn't cancer it is a very rare disease researchers all over the world have dedicated themselves to try and find a cure.

The truth is I have been researching the disease since yesterday and it has been rather slow I guess that is to be expected it is a rare disease. An idea suddenly popped in Ramsey Rosso I could enlist his help finding a cure for the disease. I created functional nanobots that destroy any foreign pathogens in the human body. It would be more than enough to kill the HLH in the body and all other forms of cancer if I give him the cure needed for his mom and for him. He is one of the most brilliant doctors on the planet with his help he might be able to- no, should be able to cure Iris's mom.

Joe sighed "I hope your happy."

"Joe look I get that you are upset but you have to understand you can only keep secrets buried for so long until they resurface." I said.

Joe snorted "Iris is right, there is something different about."

"Good different or bad different." I asked.

"Good different" Joe answered. "You just seem a whole lot more wiser and have experienced a lot."

I smiled "Well, what can I say? I did learn from the best after all."

Joe laughed at the quibbed but quickly frowned.

"I need you to talk to Iris." Joe said.

"Let me guess to process all of this" I assumed.

Joe nodded.

I followed after Iris to go check up on her to find out she went outside in the backyard. It didn't take Albert Einstein or Dr. Wells to figure out she was upset.

"Iris" I called.

Iris turned around and saw Barry.

"Barry look I really prefer to be alone right now." Iris said wiping the tears from her face.

"Ok, I'll understand if you want to be alone right now but I just want you to know I'm sorry. I can only imagine how this must feel for you. Finding out your mother is not actually dead to find out she was alive this whole time and that your dad kept this from but he did it out of love to help you become the woman you are today." I replied.

"You expect me to just forgive him." Iris asked, clearly upset.

"No, I expect you to understand why he did it. Remember what I said in order to be a good reporter th-"

"There are two sides to every story. I know, I know." Iris interrupted "You have been telling me that ever since I got into journalism."

I smirked. "I take you understand what I am trying to tell you?"

"You want me to give my dad a chance but Barry you have to understand I can't just forgive him for keeping a secret from me for 20 years." Iris answered.

"I know you feel betrayed and I am not asking you to forgive him or forget just to understand why." I said.

Iris sighed. "I need some time to think about all of this."

"Of course just try not to stay out here for too long otherwise you might catch frostbite." I joked.

Iris smiled slightly.

I began to head back inside and open the door when.

"Oh, and Barry thank you for looking into my mother. If it wasn't for you I would have never found out she was alive." Iris thanked.

I turned my head around slightly "No problem Iris."

I headed inside the house to see Joe sitting in the front room. "Where's Ralph and August" I questioned.

"August decided to go home. Ralph wanted to talk to you about something." Joe answered.

I raised an eyebrow. Curious what does Ralph want to talk about?

"Did he say what it was about?" I asked.

"No, he just said it was important" Joe answered.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him look on the bright side I think I have managed to cool Iris down a bit" I replied.

Joe sighed. "Good, thank you for trying to talk to her."

"Joe I just want you to-"

"Barr don't say your sorry. You have nothing to apologize for." Joe interrupted.

"So, your not mad?" I questioned.

"Yes, I am mad at you Barr but you were right. Secrets will only make things worse." Joe admitted.

I grinned. "Well, that is something I finally managed to crack your no code."

Joe snorted. "Don't let it go to your head."

The door opened up revealing Iris walking back inside the house. She merely sat down in a chair with me and Joe.

"Ok, dad I'm ready to listen to everything you have to say to me." Iris said.

I went to go talk to Ralph to see what he wanted when Joe started to tell Iris she had a brother. I found him waiting anxiously with a can of pop in his hand Root beer. Huh? I guess Ralph is a sugar addict.

"What's got you so anxious Ralph?" I asked. Curious and slightly worried for my best friend.

"Right, sorry." Ralph apologized. "I just have one more birthday present to give you." He began to pull out his phone showing me a picture of Dr Harrison Wells.

"What does Dr. Harrison Wells have to do with my birthday present?" I questioned but I had a feeling I already know.

"Dr. Wells, that scientist you read about so much." Ralph said. I nodded. "Well, I did a little digging up into his past and imagine my surprise when I found out his wife died in a car accident the same exact night your mother died."

I mentally cursed myself. It's too soon to investigate that area if I do. I don't know for sure but Eobard probably placed a tracking device in the body to know if or when it is moved. I should have expected Ralph to be able to figure out something like this he is the freaking Elongated Man for crying out loud his detective skills rival Batman's and he is considered the smartest man on the planet for crying out loud if somebody not at all that smart rival's his detective that is impressive.

"Ok, so you think he had something to do with my mothers death." I asked.

"I don't know yet but my instincts are telling me we should investigate that place" Ralph answered.

"Ralph thank you this is a wonderful birthday present you got me but..." I said.

"But what?" Ralph questioned.

"But aren't you a little worried we might be going after this a little premature." I finished.

"Premature Barry all I saying this might be a good lead." Ralph stated.

I sighed "Ralph I got a call from the Batman." I confessed. Which was true he did call me.

"What did he want to talk about?" Ralph asked.

"He told me to drop any investigation into my mother's death Ralph and hand over the photos I have of the man in yellow." I replied.

"Really, I thought we agreed to call him the Red lightning." Ralph said.

I snorted "Seriously Ralph color names are just terrible."

"Well I would like to see you come up with something better." Ralph retorted.

"You know what I will come with something better." I said.

"Good luck with that, but what about Batman I mean we're not gonna drop this right?" Ralph asked.

"We did go there to get his help," I replied.

"C'mon Barry we are getting closer to solving your mother's death don't you want to know who the Red Lightning is?" Ralph asked.

"Of course I do but for right now let's give Batman a chance." I answered.

"How can you just let this go Barry?" Ralph questioned.

"I am not letting this go I'm putting faith into someone else to help figure out who the Red Lighting is?" I answered. Great now I am saying it. "Let's give him a few months and if he doesn't turn anything up or made any progress we will continue the investigation."

Ralph sighed "I just don't like how you can just have so much faith in someone else we went to get his help not have him do the entire investigation altogether."

"Why did you decide to help me Ralph when you could have just decided to not help me at all?" I questioned.

"The truth is Barry you are the first real friend I have had in a long time" Ralph admitted.

I raised an eyebrow "Really I am one of the first real friend you have had in a long time."

"Yes, other than my mom you, Joe, Iris and August are the only family I have." Ralph said.

"That's why you have been willing to help me so much," I said.

"Yes, and I feel that I owe you one for stopping me making a mistake I would have regretted my entire life." Ralph said.

"Ralph, listen you don't owe me anything. I will never give up investigating my mother's death but for right now we have asked for his help so we need to play the waiting game." I said.

"Alright rookie but I need you to do something for me." Ralph asked.

"What?" I questioned.

"You need to get yourself a date" Ralph said.

I groaned. These past few months Ralph has been trying to get me hooked up on a date I told him I am not interested in a relationship at first he assumed I was gay or something I told him no that isn't the reason. I am interested in girls it's just why would someone want to spend time with me for only what 10 years or so when they can spend at least 50 or 60 years. I wish I could tell Ralph the truth but I can't not yet.

"What about you Ralph I don't see you asking any girls out?" I retorted.

"Whoa, easy there rookie. I am looking for one. I just haven't found the right one yet." Ralph said raising his hand in surrendering motion.

"I… have my reasons Ralph." I vaguely said.

"Is it someone else? Are you in love with Iris?" Ralph asked.

"What? No, I don't know?" I said. Which is true do I love Iris? I don't know I do care about her but I'm not sure if I feel that way about her.

"Look Barry I just want to understand why don't you want to get a girlfriend?" Ralph asked concerned for his friend.

I sighed. "Ralph you need to understand that some people are meant to be alone."

Ralph knows there something more to it but… "Okay then I will drop the subject for now since right now I need to get home rookie." Ralph said leaving.

"What was that about?" a familiar voice asked.

I jumped to see it was only Joe with arms crossed.

"How much of that did you hear?" I asked. Worried he might know me and Ralph are still investigating my mother's death.

"Just the part about where you said some people are met to be alone." Joe said.

I sighed in relief. "Yeah, well I'm not interested in anyone."

"What about Iris?" Joe asked.

"I… I'm not sure." I confessed.

"What do you mean your not sure? You have been in love with Iris since you were old enough to know what love means." Joe inquired concerned for the kid he has raised since he was 11.

"A person's feelings can change." I said.

"Barr what's wrong?" Joe asked. Deeply concerned for his son why did he say some people are meant to be alone? Why is he so unsure about his feelings for Iris.

"I'm-"

Joe raised his hand. "Barr don't lie to me we both know you're a terrible liar."

I hesitated for a moment, should I tell him? No "Look Joe you're gonna have to understand there are somethings I can't tell you."

"Ok fine don't tell me but when you are ready to talk about it." Joe said placing a hand on my shoulder.

I smiled. "So how did the conversation about Iris having a brother go."

"Good, she was excited to find out that she had a brother." Joe said.

"And you came over here to ask me if I could tell you where they are." I assumed.

"No, no it-" Joe denied.

I gave him a 'Really' look.

"Ok, fine I came over here to learn where my wife and son are." Joe admitted.

I smirked.

One day later

After I told Joe and Iris where Wally and Franchine are we all decided to go visit them first thing in the morning. Right now we are currently parked just outside their house I can clearly see Joe mentally preparing himself.

"It's time to meet my step brother Joe" I said trying to lighten the mood.

Joe didn't respond.

I tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.

Joe sighed "It's time to face the music." Getting out of the vehicle me and Iris did the same.

Joe walked up to the door hesitating to knock.

"Joe you are an awesome dad." I complimented. Joe turned his head towards me, "It will be rough around the edges but eventually you two will start to bond as father and son."

Joe proceeded to knock on the door.

The door opened to reveal Wally West Kid Flash.

"Hi, who are you?" Wally asked. Curious as to why this stranger knocking on his door with two other people beside him.

"This might sound a bit sudden but I am your father Wally." Joe said.

Wally expression turned into surprise "Your-your my father." Wally stammered.

"Wally who's at the door" Franchine called out.

Arriving at the front door she merely gasped in surprise at seeing her husband.

"Franchine" Joe said.

"Joseph" Franchine.

"This man is claiming to be my father is it true?" Wally asked his mom.

Their silence was the confirmation he needed.

"Yes, Wally Joe is your father." I said breaking the ice.

"If your my father why have you decided to come home only now?" Wally asked confused and angry at his father not being there for him. "Why did you abandon us?"

"Wally, your father didn't abandon you its the other way around." Franchine confessed.

"What are you talking about?" Wally asked.

"Maybe it's better we head inside to talk about this." I suggested.

"What? No I wan-"

"Wally, I get that you are angry and confused but right now we have guests it would be rude not to invite them in" Franchine scolded.

That silenced Wally. We all walked inside due to Franchine agreeing with my idea to talk about Wally's father only returning home until now. Joe took a sit in a chair while me and Iris sat down on a couch while Franchine sat on a lounge chair and Wally was pacing around the front room anxiously.

"How did you find us?" Franchine demanded.

"I didn't, he did." Joe said pointing his finger at me.

"Yes, it is I the super mad evil genius who figured out where you have been hiding" I said in a impersonating bad guy voice.

That got a laugh out of Joe and Iris even Franchine and Wally formed a small smile.

"You were the one who found us young man?" Franchine asked.

"Yes and the name is Barry Allen not young man" I said.

Franchine cleared her throat "Barry why did you decide to look for me?"

"Well you were Iris's mother and I guess since I lost my mother I wanted to be sure you were actually dead." I said "And imagine my surprise you were alive."

"You lost your mother what do you-"

"Now Franchine it's best not to talk about Barry's mother" Joe interrupted.

I nodded to Joe in apprenation. "Yes let's just say it is personal and leave it at that, please." I don't like to talk about my mother's death it brings back flashbacks of Reverse-Flash. His red eyes holding only untolds amounts of hatred at me.

"Why?" Wally questioned curious surely it can't be that bad it just a question after all.

I sighed in annoyance "Fine, you want to know so badly Wally. My mother was stabbed through the heart and my dad went to prison for it." I replied to Wally deciding to be blunt

That immediately got Wally to shut up "Oh well that's umm" Wally said unable to find the right words.

"Tragic no one should have to go through that" Franchine said sympathetically.

"Yes, it was hard for Barry to get past it." Joe said.

"I-,umm look Barry I didn't mean to bring up bad memories I just-"

I raised my hand "Its ok Wally you didn't know."

"Still I shouldn't have brought it was wrong of me and umm" Wally said trying to apologize.

"You have never apologized to anyone before have you" I deduced.

Wally snorted in embarrassment "No, I have never actually apologize to anyone before."

I smiled "well you can start with a simple sorry."

"Right, ummm I am sorry for trying to bring up bad memories of your mother." Wally apologized.

"C'mon Wally there is no need to look so glum you have a step brother and sister. It is a time for reunion and togetherness." I said trying to cheer Wally up.

"Yeah I guess that is something to be grateful for." Wally said awkwardly. "I want to know what my mom meant when she said it was the other way around about my dad abandoning me."

Franchine shifted uncomfortably "I don't even know where to start Wally"

"You can start from the beginning." Joe said.

Francine went on to explain how she was a drug addict and constantly got into rehab until one day she nearly got her daughter Iris killed when she left the stove on fire. She decided it was best to just leave to protect her husband and daughter.

"I don't believe this you told me my father upped and left us." Wally said angry at his mom.

"It was best for your father and sister to protect them from me" Franchine cried.

"Franchine why didn't you just tell me that you had a son? I could have helped give you child support." Joe questioned, confused and upset.

"I got better I never relapsed for the past 20 years" Franchine stated. Feeling guilty. "I was afraid to face you and Iris after I upped and left."

"That's why you don't talk about dad and why you also didn't talk about the fact that I had a sister." Wally said gesturing towards Iris. "You have lied to me my whole life" Wally realized, marching out of the room in anger.

Franchine was going to try to talk to Wally but Joe stopped her.

"Don't he's angry and upset at you right now let me try talking to him." Joe said.

Franchine nodded as Joe began to get up to talk to Wally.

I only began to notice Iris was holding my hand tightly.

"Iris I get what you just saw was a little dramatic but please don't use my hand as a stress ball" I quibbed.

Iris blushed in embarrassment "R-Right sorry Barry."

I raised an eyebrow curious didn't Iris original didn't have feelings for Barry in the TV show but develop them over time.

Meanwhile with Joe and Wally

"Wally" Joe called out trying to get his attention but he kept walking.

"Wally!" Joe said louder this time.

Wally stopped and turned around with his arms crossed. "What?"

"Look I get that you are upset" Joe began.

"No, you don't how could you possibly understand what I am going through!" Wally yelled, angry.

"I understand what you are going through because I just found out I had a son I didn't even know about." Joe said. Empathically. "You think your not the only one upset. I am to but not at your mom at myself for not being there watching you grow up.

Wally was taking a deep breath trying to get his anger under control.

"This is all just a lot to take in" Wally quietly said. He feels angry and confused no his mom kept a secret about the fact he had a sister and a step brother.

Joe placed a hand on Wally's shoulder "I know I still can't believe I have a son standing here right in front of me."

"Where do we go from here." Wally asked.

"We can start by talking to your mother," Joe said.

Wally opened his mouth to argue but Joe intercepted.

Joe raised his hand "You don't have to talk to her right now. You can start talking to her when your ready."

Wally was silent for a moment.

"You gonna be okay" Joe asked worried for Wally.

"I want to be alone right now, please." Wally said.

"Ok, I'm here if you need me. I'm sorry I wasn't there for then but let me try to be here for you now." Joe said leaving Wally alone heading back to where Barry, Iris, and Franchine are.

"So how did the conversation go with Wally?" Iris asked.

"He is feeling angry and confused." Joe replied to Iris.

"He should be this is a lot to take finding out he has a dad, sister and step brother is a lot to take in." I said.

"Yes, it is all because I was simply too scared." Franchine cried, guilt-ridden. "He probably hates me now."

"Franchine look at me" Joe said getting her attention. "He doesn't hate you. You took care of him all on your own overcoming your drug addiction to keep him warm, safe and fed."

"Dad's right" a familiar voice said entering the room. "I am still very angry at you mom but I don't hate you."

Franchine wiped the tears from her face. "So where do we go from here."

"I would like to get to know my dad, sister, and step brother but right now I think I could use some time alone with my mother." Wally said.

"Of course, Wally you can take all the time you need." Joe said getting ready to leave motioning Iris and me to follow.

Once we were outside. "See that wasn't so hard now was it." I said with a smile.

"It was actually pretty hard" Joe said with a heavy heart.

It's going to be even harder to find out Franchine is dying but I won't allow that to happen to Wally.

I told Joe and Iris as soon as I got home I needed to meet someone. Joe questioned why and who? I told him he was a friend I was looking forward to meeting again and his name. He gave me some grief and lecture about being careful but he allowed me to go. I already got my extremus nanobots put inside a briefcase and Gideon scheduled my meeting to be in private.

"Gideon are sure this the place?" I asked. I was at a rather small and old abandoned house but this place feels familiar somehow almost like I've been here before. I searched through my memories but I found nothing I know I've been here before I just can't put my finger on it.

"Yes, it is the place I asked Ramsey to meet" Gideon said from my earpiece. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I made the mobile Gideon unit from season 6 in the flash show. I figured it would be useful to know how fast I am going so I don't overshoot and in case I have to travel through time, I need to know the date and year.

"Excuse me but are you the person I am supposed to be meeting." Familiar voice said. I turned around to see it was Ramsey Rosso also known as Bloodwork. He appears to be well dressed wearing a suit and tie like he's going to a business meeting. I suppose technically in a way he is.

"Yes, my name is Barry Allen" I said holding out my hand.

Ramsey shook it "Dr Ramsey Rosso. If you don't mind I have a few questions first."

"Alright go on then ask them" I said.

"Who was that person talking on the phone I know whoever it was is a girl? She talked about how you built something that would revolutionize the medical world? What is it and why all of the secrecy?" Ramsey questioned.

I smirked. "First the person you were talking on the phone was Gideon a friend of mine. Second it is something scientists have spent decades trying to create that would eradicate cancer and reduce aging. Third let's just say you can't be too careful."

Ramsey nodded satisfied with the first answer but merely raised his eyebrows in confusion at the third and second answer. What did Barry mean it is something scientists have spent decades trying to create? Why is Barry giving such a vague answer to the third question?

"I can see from your face you are confused instead telling you allow me to just show you" I said putting my briefcase on a table opening it to reveal millions of miniature nanobots.

Ramsey had a look of fascination, surprised and impressed. "Is this what I think it is?"

I smiled "Yep, fully functional nanotechnology able to eradicate foreign pathogens in the body and cellular damage."

"You have tested this right?" Ramsey questioned.

"Yes, I have it worked like a charm repairing cellular damage to the human body." I answered

"Why me though there plenty of other Scientists and doctors that you could have asked to meet?" Ramsey asked.

"It is simple really I trust you. You are one of the good doctors who want to get stuff done and actually find new treatments for people to live longer and healthier lives." I answered.

'"What's the catch?" Ramsey questioned having a skeptical look.

"The catch is all I ask of you is to leave the name Barry Allen out of it." I said.

"Why?" Ramsey questioned raising his eyebrows. "You created something wonderful that will have a serious dent in many diseases and save so many lives. Don't you want people to know that you made successful nanotechnology."

I sighed. "Ramsey. I can call you Ramsey?" he nodded. "Well it is like I told you before, I can't be too careful. I didn't do this for money or fame. I did it, because it is the right thing to do."

"That still doesn't answer my question." Ramsey said suspicious.

"Please Ramsey, all I am asking is to leave my name out of it." I pleaded.

Ramsey sighed. "Fine I will leave your name out of it but I want answers to my questions."

"Thank you all I want to do is work together to make a better tomorrow for everyone." I said.

"If we are going to work together Barry we need to be honest with each other." Ramsey said.

"Tell me something Ramsey are you well versed with the term fate or destiny whichever one you prefer." I said.

"Yes I am well aware of what the term means but what does that have to do with anything." Ramsey asked curious to where Barry was going with this.

"Getting there. Do you believe it that we do not control our own destiny that every decision and choice you made wasn't your own." I said.

"No, I don't believe in such a ridiculous notion that everything happens for a reason. I believe that every single decision I have made was my own." Ramsey said.

"Well lets just say the reason for all of this secrecy is because an old enemy of mine holds untolds amounts of hatred towards me." I said.

"Why are you enemies with this person? What did you do?" Ramsey questioned curious.

"He used to be admired by me." I began "About all of the good I did but then he began to detest me. For one single reason."

"What reason was it?" Ramsey pressed.

"It's simple because he couldn't be me" I answered.

"What?" Ramsey asked confused.

"I know it is literally taking obsession to a whole other level." I said.

"So that's why all of the secrecy." Ramsey said putting the pieces together. "Your worried he might do something to discredit or steal your work on nanotechnology."

"Exactly Ramsey I can't tell you much else you are just going to have to trust me" I said.

Ramsey huffed in frustration "Fine I will leave your name out of it but I still have more questions."

"I expected as much but not right now. Listen to me Ramsey you don't know this guy he is dangerous." I warned.

"Does this mystery man have a name?" Ramsey asked.

"Sorry Ramsey but I can't tell you that. The last thing I want is to put you or any of your loved ones in danger." I said.

"This person is so dangerous you can't even disclose his name?" Ramsey asked curious.

"Yes, I don't like not being entirely honest with people but you have to understand that he is willing to kill if it means that I suffer." I said.

Ramsey raised eyebrow he wants to press for more information but they will probably be more vague responses. He doesn't like not knowing all of the variables to a mystery or towards someone like Barry Allen but his intentions seem pure.

He sighed with great reluctance "Fine I won't ask anymore questions about this mystery man for now."

One Day Before The Particle Accelerator Explosion

The meeting with Ramsey went quite well he is probably going to be slow to trust me since I gave him little information about Mr. Thawne but I can't for all I know he could have spy cameras following me around even if he does find out he won't kill I am his only chance of getting home. He will be a useful ally that I will need considering the fact I might be facing Superman's enemies and the flash's even if I do create a Justice League in this universe we will be hard-pressed to beat them. I can only imagine what it will be like facing Doomsday, Metallo, the Parasite, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Zod, Darkseid, Brainiac, and Ultraman. I know all of them exist considering there is a Superman in this universe from the blood sample I took with my mosquito bot. I took extra precaution when trying to take it from him and I know what you're all thinking how could I have taken it is simple by traveling through his ear I remember Ramsey reaction at discovering the blood sample.

Ramsey gave me his contact number to call each other and he was going to give me my 10% of the money that is from the nanotechnology I invented on a private server into my bank account. I actually got quite a bit for my invention around 50k for only 10% I can only imagine how much a 100% is. Still with all of that money I have managed to gather the materials necessary to construct my Flash suit from season 1 with the White Emblem.

*Flashback*

I walked inside to see Ramsey working inside his lab it looks just like the one from season 6. I called him on the phone ahead of time and told him that I had a little surprise in store for him that not might, will interest him. We have actually talked a bit on the phone from time to time to socialize more he was of course still slow to trust me and not much from what I already know about him, he became a doctor to heal mankind. I don't blame him for not trusting me since I was giving rather vague responses to his questions but the good news is that he isn't openly distrusting me.

"Late night." I said announcing myself to the room to grab Ramsey attention.

Ramsey jumped startled placing a hand on his chest he knew Barry was coming to show him something but he didn't expect him to arrive here so soon. His nanotechnology has revolutionized the world putting a huge dent in cancer he knows a certain someone has a personal vendetta against Barry he just wants to know why. Barry has made small talk from him from time to time Ramsey is pretty good at reading people Barry appears to be a good man from what he has learned about him.

"Don't sneak up on people like that." Ramsey hissed.

"Sorry I'll make sure to announce myself" I apologized having a sheepish look.

Ramsey expression softens "No it's ok so are going to show this so called surprise." Ramsey said closing the door to his laboratory.

I reached down into my pocket to pull out a vial of blood.

Ramsey raised an eyebrow "What is it?" He asked curious.

I smirked "Why don't you take a look at it and find out."

Ramsey sighed annoyed but took the blood sample to look at. He made sure he had a pair of gloves on and put a single droplet of blood under the microscope to look at. Through the microscope Ramsey can see at first glance it is human blood but if one looks deeper they clearly that it is not. Ramsey wasn't called one the world's leading blood specialist out of arrogance no it is a title that he earned. He became fascinated with the blood sample it is similar to a human but also different.

Ramsey looked up from his microscope turning his attention to Barry "Where did you get this?" He questioned this blood sample it seems almost alien to him. Ramsey was a lot more open minded than most people he believes that there could potentially be life out there in the universe those who believed that they were the only species out there. Well, Ramsey considered those types of people either arrogant or narrow minded.

I was expecting this thankfully I already came up with a good lie for this.

"Ramsey have you ever seen the movie Jurassic Park where they collect a material called amber that carries mosquitos who carries blood of ancient dinosaurs." I said.

Ramsey nodded. It is considered one of his favorite movies to watch but he doesn't see how that has to do with anything. Considering the fact that amber containing DNA from dinosaurs millions of years ago is purely science fiction.

"Well let me just say this is a blood sample that I found inside amber and imagine my surprise it was still alive." I explained.

"But that is impossible blood can't survive for that long!?" Ramsey exclaimed.

"I thought the same thing too that was until I figured out it is getting food from sunlight" I said.

"Food from sunlight?" inquired Ramsey.

"Here, instead of telling me allow me to show you." I said walking over to the microscope bringing out UV flashlight.

I turned on my flashlight and exposed it to the blood.

"Go on have I look" I said gesturing Ramsey to use the microscope.

Ramsey looked at the blood and he was surprised to see the blood soaking up the solar radiation like a sponge.

"Fascinating" Ramsey said focusing the Microscope to see the blood cells become active "You certainly weren't kidding when you said I was in for a surprise."

"Indeed have a theory but I won't be sure until we test." I said.

"What kind of theory?" Ramsey asked.

"My theory is that this blood whatever it is can suck up all forms of radiation. Not just Solar. It can suck up Alpha, Beta, Gamma, X." I explained.

Ramsey gasped in surprise "How is that possible?" He know for fact radiation is harmful to all organic material but somehow any kind of radiation is able to strengthen this blood.

"I don't know but like I said it is just a theory. We won't know until we test it." I said pretending to act surprised I knew exactly how it is possible somehow kryptonians are able to convert radiation into energy for their cells. I'm hoping though with Ramsey helps I am able to get Superman's powers. I would probably be called Superflash let's be real though that sounds like a terrible name.

"This blood you found is just out of this world almost like it is…"

"Alien" I finished.

"Yes, Barry you might just have discovered that life out there exists." Ramsey said.

"Maybe, Ramsey we can't know for sure until we study it some more. Do you think you could isolate the genetic code for this blood?" I asked.

"Barry don't you understand you just discovered that life out there in the universe exists." Ramsey said.

"Might, Ramsey I might have discovered life out there nothing is guaranteed yet." I said.

"Regardless of whether or not it is true you may have discovered an entirely new species species." Ramsey said in awe at the blood sample.

"So again is it possible for you to isolate the genetic marker." I asked.

"Not for awhile it could take months maybe even years for all we know the DNA in this blood could be twice as big as humans DNA." Ramsey told Barry.

*Flashback ends*

I hope Ramsey is able to isolate Superman's blood to make me a kryptonian and have powers this world doesn't have a superman so I am gonna have to create one. Unforeatly that won't happen for a while like he said it could take years even with the DNA isolated. There is a very good reason I didn't already inject myself with his blood yeah that sounds like a great idea. A small part of me Worries I am no matter than the Reverse-Flash but it won't matter if there is a dark future that will make this world become X-men Days of Future Past. I know somewhere down the line in the future the government hunts down every meta-human. I already went to Gotham City and meet the Batman to deliver the evidence of my mother's killer in November. He hasn't made any calls from his burner phone yet.

Right now I am on a bus to starling City to meet the Green Arrow and the rest of his team. The only question I have right now is what to do with Felicity Smoak. She has constantly time and time again gone behind team Arrow's back I get that she was trying to help them but the lines she crossed to do it. Should I give her chance or not? That's the thing like Barry Allen I always choose to see the good in people unconditionally. I did decide to give Ramsey and Ralph a chance by changing their fates maybe I should at least try to change her.

I entered the building where Cyrus Gold broke into and see Felicity, Oliver, John, Dete-Officer Quentin Lance. There is one question running through my mind would Cyrus Gold somehow come back to life and become Soluman Grundy. Maybe after all this universe has an Evil version of Superman I suppose it's possible. I also made an upgrade to my stun gun now it is a pistol from the agents of shield that will shoot electricity and I added setting for low, medium, high. It doesn't have as much power to the original but at least it won't be destroyed firing just one shot

"Hey!" Quentin yelled.

My thought process was interrupted when Quentin was trying to grab attention.

"I'm sorry but were you talking to me?" I asked.

"Yeah, are you deaf or something. Speaking of which, what are you even doing here this is a crime scene?" Quentin demanded.

"And do your parents know your here?" Oliver questioned

I rolled my eyes at Oliver's question "I work for the CCPD I came here to offer some assistance with a similar case." pulling out my badge showing that I was a CSI.

"What kind of case?" Quentin questioned.

"No offence Officer Lance but I don't feel comfortable discussing a case in front of a few civilians." I said.

"You can relax they are witnesses at the scene of the crime." Quentin said.

"At your crime scene maybe my on the other hand not so much." I remarked.

Quentin opened his mouth to argue more.

"Officer Lance I really don't want to waste anymore time arguing with you." I spoke in a no nonscience tone.

"Now back to business you said that there were multiple guys that broke in here right." I said clapping my hands together.

Quentin nodded.

"Well I hate to break it to you but your wrong. It was only one guy." I said.

Quentin raised a skeptical. "What do you mean?"

"It is rather simple blunt force from the doors indicate it wasn't a vehicle that broke it or any kind of explosive there would be some sort of trace element if there was and you can clearly see that his man's neck was snapped with only one hand." I explained pointing over to the man with the snapped.

I notice Oliver's expression of fear just for a moment.

"You ok?" I asked concerned but I already knew exactly what he was afraid of.

"Huh? Umm yeah I'm good." Oliver answered.

"Are you sure? Because I could have sworn for a moment it looked like you've seen a ghost." I replied.

"I told you I'm fine." Oliver said a little too quickly.

"And you can also see that he moved a container here with just his bare hands." I said.

"One guy did all of this." Quentin said disbelief in his eyes. "There has to be some sort of other explanation."

"It is very possible for one guy to do this Officer Lance. There is one performance enhancing drug that could give a man more than enough strength to break down these doors." I said.

"What like steroids or something?" Diggle inquired.

"Yes, like steroids only a lot more extreme it increases the human body's muscle mass 4 times stronger and there are the side effects." I explained.

"What kind of side effects?" Quentin asked.

"Death you don't take a dose of it for every 12 hours you will die." I answered.

"Whoa, that is taking addiction to a whole nother level." Felicity jokes.

"Having somebody out there with enough strength to break someone's neck with just one hand I would not find it very funny." I said with a deep frown.

"What's it called?" Oliver asked.

"Venom but that drug is used only inside Gotham City so it is highly unlikely the assailant had it." I said.

"Why's that?" Oliver questioned.

"Because only one man in Gotham is able to get his hands on the drug and last I checked he was inside Blackgate prison." I answered.

"What's his name?" Oliver pressed.

"He only goes by one name Bane." I said to Oliver.

"Do you always do stuff behind people's back without asking their consent?" I asked.

"What? Of course not." Felicity said.

"Really so asking for my help without telling Oliver about it was a one time thing?" I questioned.

"Yes, of course." Felicity stated.

"You need to work on your lying." I said disappointment in my tone.

"What? But I'm not-"

"Yes you are." I intercepted. "Your deflection worked a whole lot better when I began talking about the Arrow."

"I don't work for the Arrow." Felicity denied.

"And there is another thing I never asked that you worked for the Arrow." I said.

Felicity froze.

I smirked knowing I had caught her red handed.

"I-I-I well you see the thing is." Felicity stammered.

I raised my hand. "Don't even bother trying to lie to me. You basically just confessed that you work for him."

"Please you can't tell anyone I work for him." Felicity pleaded.

"And if I do will you blackmail, threaten me or my family to keep your secret safe." I challenged.

Felicity looked like she was almost punched in the face "Of course not I would never do anything like that."

More lies who is she trying to fool? Eobard Thawne had everyone fooled pretending to be someone he isn't for 15 years.

"Ok you can relax then I won't tell anyone your secret." I said easing her fear.

"Wait. What?" Felicity asked confused.

"I was testing you earlier to see how far you would go to protect your secret." I answered.

"And you think I would really go that far?" Felicity asked upset.

"I don't know. Would you?" I inquired.

"No. I would never go that far to protect my secret." Felicity said.

"I apologize then finding out that my father has been keeping secret. Has made wary of trusting others." I said with false remorse. Geez I'm starting to act more like Eobard with the lies now I am manipulating Felicity. Truthfully I understood Felicity was just trying to protect those you care about but all of the lines she was willing to cross to do it. 'What about the lines you are crossing?' A small part of my mind argued. The lies and manipulations.

"Your father has been keeping secrets? What kind of secrets?" Felicity questioned.

"Sorry Ms. Smoak but you have to understand it is kinda personal." I answered.

"Why not? I told one of my secrets." Felicity argued.

"You told me it unintentionally. So technically Ms. Smoak it doesn't count." I retorted.

Felicity opened her mouth to argue more.

"Tell me something Ms Smoak how would you feel if someone undermined you like that?" I asked.

"What?" Felicity asked confused.

"The question I had from earlier. How would feel if someone undermine you?" I asked.

"I…" Felicity paused she wasn't sure how to answer that. She would probably feel angry and annoyance at that said person if they did undermine her.

"I see that I have given you something to think about." I said leaving the room taking my laptop with me to someplace with a little more peace and quiet since I knew John and Oliver were about to enter the room.

My actions had mixed reactions toward Oliver and Diggle. Both of them were clearly impressed that I managed to figure that Felicity worked for the Arrow but they weren't 100% sure that I would keep that information to myself. Felicity jokingly made a comment to Oliver about how I am like the modern day Sherlock Holmes that could take a sniff of a piece of cloth deduced what kind of perfume it is. However, Oliver clearly saw that I manipulated her into telling me that she works for him not deduction based on his deep frown to be fair though vigilantes always somehow look dark and brooding.

"What case did you say you were working on again?" Oliver asked.

I sighed "I told already Mr. Queen I am not at liberty to discuss a police investigation with you."

"I just find it a little odd that someone who works for the CCPD is here in Star City doing an investigation." Oliver questioned with clear suspicion.

"Are you sure this isn't a personal matter Mr. Queen?" I asked.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He questioned.

"All I am saying is perhaps maybe you're feeling a little jealous." I said.

Oliver lets out a dark humorless laugh "I am not jealous alright."

"Then why are you treating me with such open suspicion?" I pressed.

"I don't know. Maybe it has to do with the fact that your police Captain isn't even aware you are doing a police investigation in Star City." Oliver said.

"Well looks like you caught me." I said not even trying to denine it.

"Why are you here?" He growled.

"All of these weird cases has always been and always will be about chasing the impossible." I began "I lost somebody one night that I saw should have been impossible."

"That somebody got a name." Oliver asked no longer having hostility in his voice. His tone now being neutral.

"Yes, it was somebody I loved very much." I spoke in a pained tone of voice.

Oliver could see that Barry didn't want to talk about it anymore since it was clearly something that has caused a lot of pain throughout his life.

"I won't ask about it anymore but don't do anything like that again." Oliver demand.

"I'm afraid you're going to have to be a little more specific. I have done a lot of things." I cheekily to Oliver.

"I'm talking about the way you carefully manipulated Felicity into telling you that she works for the Arrow." Oliver stated.

I sighed "Oliver you have to understand it is how I work as a Forensic Scientist to take down bad guys to stop from hurting anymore innocent people if it keeps people safe what harm is done."

Oliver rubbed his forehead but not because he was frustrated. He understood where Barry was coming from and experience has taught him that lying. No not lying per say but it is similar to the mistake Oliver made so many years ago.

"I get that you do it Barry because you think it is the right choice but it isn't. It is a path to lies and distrust." Oliver stated wisely.

"Did you just quoted Star Wars?" I quibbed trying lighten the mood.

However, Oliver's expression is dead serious "Barry this is serious you can't just manipulate people like or else they are going feel like your using them."

"I'll try to make an effort not to do it again but no promises." I said. If he knew even half of what's at stake he wouldn't even bother to question my methods.

The rest went exactly like episode 8 and 9. John and Felicity decided to enlist my help to save Oliver from drug overdose.

"Don't worry I have just the thing needed to wake him" I said grabbing vial from my CSI kit using a syringe to get the right dosage.

"What is that?" Felicity questioned.

"It is what you will need to save Oliver's life." I stated. Basically what I have right is something that will stimulate the brain and unfreeze his blood.

I injected it into Oliver "You all might want to stand back chances are-"

I didn't even have time to finish my sentence when Oliver had his hand around my throat.

John and Felicity attempted to get him to let me go.

"Is this your way of saying thank you." I quibbed struggling to get the words out.

"What are you doing here?" Oliver demanded.

"Oh gee I don't know saving your life for one." I snarked.

"Oliver I brought him here." Felicity said.

Oliver let me go turning his attention to Felicity.

"What? Felicity you can't just tell anyone my secret." Oliver said, upset.

"What else was I supposed to do let you die?" Felicity asked rhetorically.

"He knows my secret Felicity." He said, angry.

"What are you going to do put an arrow in him?" Felicity remarked.

"I'm considering it." Oliver growled.

"Oh I am not bothered by the fact that you all are pretending like I am not even here. No it's total cool." I said sarcastically.

Oliver sighed in annoyance. "Do you always act like this around other people?"

"Sorry, my friends usually tell me my dry sense of humor leaves a bitter taste in other people's month." I explained. Which is true Joe and Iris has voiced their concerns about it.

"Look Barry is it?" Oliver asked.

I nodded.

"You can't tell anyone that I am the Arrow." Oliver demanded.

"Don't worry I won't. I am well aware some people think your just another criminal but not me I considered you to be a hero." I praised.

"Good, because if you do I will hunt you down and put an arrow in you." Oliver threatened.

"If you don't mind me asking how exactly did you end up like you did earlier?" I questioned changing the subject.

Oliver hesitated.

"Look you don't have to tell me. I want to help but I can't do that if you don't give me any information about what's going on." I said diplomatically.

"When I was on an island I found an old jepense banker that created a super soldier serum called mirrakrau I thought it was all destroyed until I ran into a man who was injected with a serum that I thought was destroyed giving him enhanced strength, speed, agility, and speed healing." Oilver finally said.

"Is it possible someone replicated the serum?" I asked.

"Impossible. Everyone injected with the serum is dead." Oliver said confidently.

"This man you ran into tells you otherwise." I said.

"Yes, I need to stop." Oliver said.

"Whoa. He nearly killed you Oliver." Felicity argued

"Felicity, I am the only one who has experience with these types of men. If the police go after him they will die." Oilver retorted.

While Oliver and Felicity were arguing I had my arms crossed looking down.

"What?" Diggle asked noticing Barry was in deep thought.

"I think I know who's behind this." I said.

Oliver stopped arguing with Felicity turning his attention to Barry.

"Who?" He questioned wondering Barry's output who he thinks it could be.

"Sebastian Blood." I said.

Felicity scoffed "Barry do hear-"

"Why do think it is Sebastian Blood?" Oliver questioned. Felicity gaped at Oliver like why would even ask a question like that.

I smiled rubbing my hands together "Simple strike one the hoods attack executing the Mayor then sebastian suddenly decides to run for Mayor."

"That doesn't necessarily mean he's connected." Diggle said unconvinced.

"Alright then how about right now. He is currently having a blood drive the same night our perp get his performance enhancing super drugs. Two coincidences is simply too much to ignore." I said.

Dig and Felicity still looked unconvinced.

Oliver on the other hand mentally scowled himself for not seeing this early. He should have known there was something off about Sebastian Blood and not linking the two together.

Oliver went to put on his suit and grabbed his bow sliding a quiver of arrows over his back.

"What are doing?" Felicity questioned.

"I am going to get some answers out of Mayor Blood." Oliver sneered.

"No, you can't we don't have any proof that he is involved." Felicity exclaimed.

"Felicity last I recall I don't remember you being team leader." I said coming to Oliver's defense.

She glared at me.

"But you have a point. If we are wrong about this then we just tortured an innocent man for no reason and if we are right he will know were onto him." I said.

Oliver frowned realizing Barry had a valid point. "Ok then will have to investigate his so called blood drive."

"And do what? We can't just break into the hospital Oliver he will know were onto him." Diggle argued.

"He's right and we still need to look for Cyrus gold but I do have an idea where we can get both done." I suggested

Oliver crossed his arms. "I'm listening."

I discussed the plan I had with Oliver that I could break into the hospital without bringing any attention while he went to look for Cyrus Gold. He was pretty reluctant putting my life at risk but I managed to convince him. It was pretty easy to sneak into considering security guard were half asleep.

"Find anything yet?" Felicity asked.

A security guard snored.

"Felicity, be quiet or else I am gonna get caught." I whispered. Sneaking through the halls trying to be unseen.

"Sorry." She apologized.

I began looking through doors finally after 20 of them I located a racket carrying 9 vials of Mirrakrau.

I activated my comm link. "I think I just found Blood's secret stash of Mirrakrau."

It went exactly like in the TV show when Oliver fought Cyrus Gold only he didn't suffer from any hallucinations. It is up to this universe whether or not he becomes Solomon Grundy a part of me is hoping he doesn't the last thing I want to deal with is a zombie that comes back more powerful each time he dies. I gave Oliver some advice that if he is going to stop killing people he should invest in the foam arrows, electric arrows, and some smoke bombs to escape if he is ever outnumbered. I also gave him his new and improved mask to hide his identity better.

"You found this at the hospital." Oliver said.

Curious was that question or merely an observation.

"Yes." I answered.

"That means." Felicity said realization hitting her.

"Sebastian Blood is the one behind this." Diggle finished.

"That only leaves us with questions. How did he get his hand on Mirrakrau? What is he after?" I pondered.

"I don't know but whatever is blood after I am going to find out." Oliver states with conviction.

"I am confident you will. I wish I could stay and help more but I kinda want to keep my job." I said. And have my superpowers I mentally added.

"Barry I just want to say thank you for all of your help." Oliver said holding out his hand.

I shook it we looked at each other with a sign of respect from another.

"No problem. Before I leave do you mind if I give you a piece of advice?" I asked.

"What kind of advice?" Oliver questioned.

"Don't lie to your family to keep them safe. It is a lesson I had to learn the hard way." I advised.

Oliver opened his mouth to protested.

"I'm not saying you should tell them right now. I just something I want you to consider trust me I know." I said.

"I'll… keep that in mind." Oliver said.

I hope he tells Thea the last thing I want is for her to kill Sarah.

3 hours until the particle accelerator explosion

Just 3 more hours until the particle accelerator explodes I am so excited right now. Soon I will have the ability to move faster than the speed of sound. I wonder what it will be like seeing time slowing down all around me and running at incredibly high speeds. I made sure to carry my biometric enhancer with me having all of the necessary ingredients. I made sure to have V-10, the same chemicals that creates a speedster. Oliver decided to leave the Mirrakrau with me since I told him I could find a cure. I already began chemical analysis it probably won't be done in a few days, maybe even a week. Whatever those japense scientists were working on it was decades ahead of their time. A part of me consider taking the serum but decided against until I can figure what causes it to make people go insane and fix it I will not be taking it anytime soon.

"I'm ready to see this so called atom smasher-smashing." Iris quibbs walking into the CSI lab.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"The particle accelerator obviously." Iris remarks.

"Yeah, it is going to revolutionize everything we know about science." I said fondly. It will literally break the laws of physics, people will have the ability to manipulate whether, and time travel. Yeah I am not going to be messing around with that anytime soon I've already made some changes. There hasn't been a ripple effect yet, so that's good.

"I know that's why I finally decided to spend time with my family." A familiar voice responded.

It was Wally West.

"Oh yeah. I may have forgotten to mention my little brother finally decided to spend some time with his family." Iris said.

"Yeah I decided now would be a good time to spend some time with my family." Wally said awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.

We haven't got much contact with Wally except getting a few phone calls to talk with his sister or dad.

"Wally things don't have to be awkward between us. We will be able to do sibling bonding time." I said trying to cheer up Wally.

"And some time to get to know your father." Joe said walking in.

See what I mean anyone can just walk inside here and figure out I'm superhero.

"Joe what are you doing here I thought you went to investigate the farms that I gave you to locate the Mardon brothers?" I asked curious and confused.

"Ralph decided to take over the investigation so we could spend some time together." Joe answered with a smile on his face.

Ralph that was nice of him to do for me but it might look suspicious to Eobard seeing Kid Flash and Detective West when he is about to turn on the accelerator. I know there was a bit of risk patenting my nanotechnology but it is highly unlikely he will think it was me. Ralph could be the one who is shot instead of. Who was that one detective called in the season premier that was Joe's partner? Chyre I think it was?

I shook my head I can't go on worrying about what ifs right now.

"Speaking of which where is August?" Iris asked.

"Who's August?" Wally questioned confused and curious of who August is.

"He's one of the forensic scientists that work here and an old friend." Joe answers to Wally.

"He said something about a trip to Coast City." I answered which confused me. Why does he want to go to Coast City? When I asked why he said it was a personal matter.

"Coast City why would he want to go there?" Iris questioned curious.

"I don't know. He didn't say." I replied to Iris.

A mystery for another time I suppose.

1 hour and 15 minutes until the particle accelerator explosion

"So, you are looking up a career choice to work on scramjets."

"Yeah,because it is literally the fastest way man can travel. They are able to move so fast they can create a sonic boom."

"You really are about the speed aren't you."

"Yeah I have always liked the rush of adrenaline when moving fast."

When we were driving to the Particle accelerator explosion I decided to talk to Wally for a bit. He's not so bad when you get to know him at first I thought he would have resentment and jealousy towards me. I figured he would be angry at Joe for not finding surprisingly they got along really well spending some father- son bonding time discussing likes and dislikes.

"How have things been going with your mom?" I asked.

Wally sighed "Not good I can barely look at her and the only person I see is the person who kept me from my dad, sister, and you as well Barry."

"Wally I understand that your upset but holding a grudge against her is just feeding yourself poison." I said wisely.

"I don't know how to move past." Wally admitted.

"You can start by trying to talk to her."

Joe's car came to a stop "We're here."

I know from the show STAR labs was big but seeing it up close is another thing entirely. The place was huge, I can only imagine how many workers they need to keep it maintained. Eobard planed this for 15 years I am so going to enjoy the look on his face when it blows up right in front of him.

"Wow." Wally exclaimed trying to memorize every detail of the building "I knew this place was gonna be big but I don't even have the words to describe it."

We saw some of the protesters outside of the STAR labs yelling to shut it down. I rolled my eyes to be fair though they weren't wrong it did technically create a black hole.

"Why are they protesting?" Wally questioned curious and confused he's read book on Quantum theory. It was a book Wally enjoyed reading about talking about how the accelerator will advance humans decades ahead maybe even centuries.

"Apparently they believe turning on the accelerator will cause a black hole inside Central City." I explained to Wally.

Wally scoffed. "That's ridiculous."

"There free to choose whatever they believe if they want to waste their breathe protesting something that will never happen they are more than welcome to try." I said. Walking up to the group citizens and reporters where Dr. Wells is about to make his speech.

It was the same exact speech from the show obviously I wasn't paying attention. I spotted Clifford Devoe a.k.a The Thinker I remember well that he managed to push team flash to its limits. Taking away Caitlin's ice powers, nearly killing Ralph, and taking away Harry's intelligence. I wonder would he still create the bus metas? Would he simply change his plans? Or accelerate them to happen sooner rather than later?

5 minutes until the particle accelerator explosion

"This the last farm we have to search." Ralph said. He and Chyre have searched all of the other farms and haven't even found a trace of the Mardon brothers.

"Look I know you said the kid's a genius but sometimes it's like he's chasing flying pigs." Chyre said, rudely.

Ralph turned to glare at Chyre "Listen to me very carefully." He began speaking in a dangerous tone of voice. "I've never liked Chyre so if I were you I would keep my opinion to myself. Understood."

Chyre gulped at Ralph's glare he is beginning to see why Ralph rarely gets upset and jokes around a lot he can be scary as hell. "Understood."

Ralph smirked at noticing his fearful look in satisfaction.

1 minute until the particle accelerator explosion

I looked at my timer I set on my phone just one more minute until the world is changed forever. Wally asked if could stay the night at Joe's house. Joe was perfectly cool about spending more time with his son the two of them went home. I told Joe I had some extra work I needed to get done before I head home. Iris however said there was a story she was chasing Joe warned her to be careful. I am curious though what kind of story that she has the need to chase in the middle of the night. She unfortunately hasn't been hired by the Central City News yet. I made sure Gideon gave me a least of certain people who would need help after the particle accelerator explosion

I opened up my briefcase to pull out my Biometric enhancer and placed it on me grabbing hold of the chains.

"Biometric enhancer primed and ready. Dark matter wave commencing in 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!"

I looked at the horizon to see the wave of dark matter coming at me.

I activate the Biometric enhancer injecting the chemicals in me and V-10 serum as I was struck by lightning.

I was in pain more than I ever felt before I knew the lightning was going to hurt but didn't think it would be this bad.

I desperately try to fight through the pain but it was too much darkness consumed me.

I opened my eyes looking around me see I was still in the CSI lab not in a hospital bed. I ran over to the window I noticed one important detail my lightning it wasn't orange at all it was pure white. I saw that the rain wasn't even moving it was standing still. I realized I was moving faster than the speed of light. YES it's comic book version not the junk version from the tv show if I was any normal speedster right now I would be dead moving this fast but I wasn't normal I was Barry Allen the fastest my alive.

Shaking my head I need to focus there are people outside right now that need my help.

I began to run.

I made it to where the Mardon brothers were hiding out in the background I saw the plane just standing still in the air just a few feet before it crashes not even moving an inch.

I ran over to where Ralph was trying to stop Chyre from bleeding. I knew he wasn't going to make it if I don't get there fast.

I took Ralph's tie and wrapped it around Chyre wound to slow down the bleeding then ran him to the hospital.

I slipped up a few times and nearly dropped him.

I mentally scowled running at superspeed is a lot harder than it looks like it gives a rush of excited met and adrenaline. I need to keep calm and focused when running. I sucked in a deep breath and trying to remember where the hospital is at. Ah found it.

Running inside the hospital laying chyre on a hospital bed making sure one of the doctors notice he is injured.

I managed to find the kid Griffin Grey the dark matter wave is just about to hit him. I remember from the show he was a kid suffering from accelerating aging who was desperate for a cure. I scowled Eobard destroyed so many lives that night I know I might not be able to save everyone since the fatigue was already starting to show from running when sweat dripped from brow. I need to train myself in endurance to handle moving this long and fast.

I grabbed him and ran him far enough away from the city so the dark matter wave doesn't hit him. He has a bright future ahead for him I won't allow that to be taken from him.

I found Vince and Dinah inside the warehouse where there cover was blown. I was surprised they weren't even mentioned to me by Joe or Ralph but to be fair they were undercover for a long time. I saw Dinah screaming with her famous/infamous sonic cry and Vince about to be hit with a bullet it starting to move very slowly.

I'm running out of steam I need to get this done fast.

I swatted away the bullet like a bug then moved to grab Vince taking him to the hospital then Dinah. I know all they have are a few scrapes and bruises but it is the safest place for them right now.

I saw what was the criminals name that had the power to make people feel vertigo? I made his two henchmen punch each other knocking them out then I took their leader to the most public place with the most people and stripped him of everything and I mean everything. What? He's a criminal I maybe a strict follower of DC's no killing rule but I'm not above publicly embarrassing them.

I run all the way to the power line station to see Blackout about to be hit by a lightning bolt. This run is going to be rather narrow and tricky to accomplish since I have never run up a building before.

I began running up the tower grabbing him narrowly making a u-turn down and avoiding the lightning.

I got him and his friends to a relatively safe distance.

I made to the football stadium where the wave is about to hit Jax and helping the injured kid get back up. I could feel my legs getting ready to give out but I pushed through the pain. I may not like sports all that much but like griffin Grey, Jax has a bright future ahead of him I will not let that be taken from him.

I picked up the kid and got him away from the dark matter wave

I grabbed him and ran him outside of the stadium at a safe enough distance to be unharmed and still get hit by the wave. I'm not sure if I will be able to save Ronnie because as much as it pains me to admit I have to let the singularity happen in order to create a breach to cross Earth-2 and stop Zoom.

I ran to STAR labs apparently hartley was there trying to sabotage the particle accelerator to stop it from exploding. Unfortunately he failed I see him in the pipeline on the ground holding his ears in pain. I wonder did this happen in the original timeline or not either way I can't leave him to Eobard's mercy.

I got on one knee and picked him up by the shoulders taking him to the hospital. Geez it is going to be packed tonight with the amount of people I keep taking their.

Everything was speeding up now my body ached all over my legs was where it hurts the most. I began running back to the CSI lab fast.

How many people died tonight? Let's see they classified Mark and Mardon dead. Chyre hopefully lives with me taking him to the hospital. I saved Dinah and Vince even though alive they were in the original timeline they were classified as dead. I saved Blackout and his friends from death as well.

Only 9 people died tonight.

I made it to the CSI lab in time right before my body collapsed from exhaustion.

Author Notes: When I first started this chapter it started out as mostly filler I didn't want that. I wanted chapter 3 to be where we finally got to see him get his powers. If it seems rush because it kind of is. This is actually my very first official story I am writing there were two others I wrote as mere trial runs.

If Wally behavior seems off that's because he is unaware his mother is sick and dying. I'd like to think in the show his anger was directed at Joe because his mother is dying.

Yes, I decided to add Ramsey as an ally since our SI is going to be needing help. He obviously can't isolate Ultraman's blood on his own.
