Barry was sitting with Hunter and Wes in the Smythe lounge. He had woken up about 20 minutes ago and felt a lot better then he did hours ago.

Just then, Alan Smythe barged in, his wife, Emma Smythe, following suit. They had felt so much sympathy for their grandson after learning of his father's passing. Alan spent a good 2 minutes staring at his grandson, he had never been good with giving support but nonetheless had tried his hardest in past times. He remembered trying his hardest to comfort a shaken sixteen-year-old after screaming from a nightmare from the night his mom was killed. Having to hold the boy to stop him from thrashing and to try and hold him still.

It was the middle of the night when he heard it. Heard the blood-curdling scream throughout the silent building. He was just glad Stacey was staying with a friend. Alan raced along the halls, seeking the whereabouts of where the screams were coming from. Emma had followed as well, wanting to try and see what was happening. As they neared the source, Alan's eyes widened. They were outside Seb's room.. He opened the door and ran inside, watching as Seb thrashed on his bed, tears escaping his eyes. He ran towards Seb and tried getting him to wake up but nothing happened.

"SEB! WAKE UP!" He yelled, sitting next to the thrasing boy, trying to hold him still.

Seb's whimpers broke his heart. Hearing his son whimper from a nightmare was painful to listen to. Instead of stopping, he gathered Seb into his arms and held him against his chest, grabbing his flailing arms and held them tight as he rocked his son back and forth until his loud sobs were a blur in the past. Seb's eyes remained closed but he didn't care, he wanted to relax his son before he woke him up. Eventually the whimpers died down as well, leaving Seb silently crying against his dad's chest.

Alan watched as Barry went to stand, Wes helping him gain some strength. He had been through hell these past few days and here he was just staring instead of comforting him.

"Hey.." Barry started, smiling slightly at his late father's brother. He hated that phrase, he hated having to relate to his father as his 'late father' he wished that it would've been him who Zoom had killed, his father—late father— hadn't done anything.

"Wes.. Hunter.. Do you both mind giving us some space?" Alan asked Hunter and Wes, motioning for them both to leave the room with Emma. She had called Barry once they had landed and spoke with him about it all as she knew Alan would rather chat just them two.

"Um first.. I-I need to tell you both something" Barry started, "well more like show you both something"

Wes reluctantly let go of Barry but remained close, eyeing how he swayed on his feet but remained upright. He took a deep breath and soon enough, himself, Wes and Alan were outside the house, with both Hunter and Emma running outside to meet them.

"There's a lot I have to fill you guys in on"

"What-what?.." Alan was speechless. How did Barry become the fastest man alive? How did that happen? How on earth did his innocent grandson become someone who had to face life-threatening dangers everyday? Alan had heard of The Flash from when he and Emma were last in Central City for some business.

It had been a relaxing day in Central City, Emma and Alan were walking around the city after having to attend multiple meetings regarding their business. Instead of ordering some food to their 5 star hotel, they decided to make the most of the city sights and decided to walk to Jitters, the local coffee shop.

As they waited in line, they admired the different coffees they had available, especially the one they named after their infamous hero; The Flash. Just then, the news came on, explaining that said hero had just stopped another robbery down at the bank. It was no secret that everyone looked up to the hero, everyone was thankful to have another day alive because of that man.

"That was you.. You stopped that robbery back in Central City last month" Alan finally said, envisioning Barry in the suit.

Nodding, Barry opened his mouth to say something when this boy pulled up, he seemed scared, like he had just lost someone very important.

"Look. Everyone's gonna freak when they find out I did this but I don't care." Wally started, not noticing the others, "we need your help, Barry"

The commons was silent as everyone tried to figure out what to say. Zoom had taken Joe and Wally had just ran off. Just then, a beeping noise from Jesse's phone broke the silence.

"Uhh.. Hey guys?" Jesse started, "Barry's not—"

She was cut off by a gust of wind behind her. Barry had been released and was now standing in front of them with his eyes burning with tears. Wally was standing to his left, he couldn't meet the other's gazes, they were filled with too much anger.

"At the Smythe house anymore"

"Wally!" Iris screamed, how on earth could her little brother do that? She was trying to save Barry's life and here Wally was letting Barry out so he could kill Zoom.

"I wasn't just gonna stand here and let this happen" Wally retorted, knowing his sister wasn't going to break that easily.

Barry faced Wells, "you let him take Joe, what the hell were you thinking?"

How could they have let this happen? First, Zoom kills his father, then tries to kill the real Jay Garrick and now has his foster father? Barry didn't know how much pain he'd be able to take.

"Now, Allen. There was nothing we could do." Harry tried to reason as Barry stalked over to him, his shoulders slumped slightly.

"You could've let me race him!" Barry yelled back, his anger returning. David had never seen him this upset, he had never seen the most optimistic yet sarcastic guy be this upset over anything. He wanted to help, do whatever he could to relieve the kid of his pain but he just couldn't find the right words. How on earth was he going to try and take control when he couldn't even help calm him down? Instead, all he did was order the Warblers back to their dorm rooms and for this to be kept silent.

"Allen, you're not racing Zoom!" Wells retorted, bringing his gaze up to meet Barry's.

"What are you going to do? Are you gonna ttranq me again?" Barry replied, his eyes narrowing into little slits as he stared angrily at Wella, the man who had quite literally shot him in the back.

"Don't tempt me" Wells' reply was cold, strong but wasn't confident, he didn't believe he would shoot the kid again, even if it was the right thing to do. The only reason he did it was because Barry was being irrational, he didn't want to put Barry back through the torture of being trapped; caged, even though he had done it before.

"Look, I know you guys made a pact to keep Zoom on Earth-2 but you did that without me and Wally" Barry explained, motioning between himself and Wally as he spoke, "Alright, you don't get to do that!"

The remaining Warblers, who had stayed, remained quiet. Today alone had been a whirlwind for them all: learning their friend/former mentor was the fastest man alive, learning about the multiverse and how there was now an evil speedster who had access to both of their worlds and would kill anyone in his way.

"Barry, look at yourself right now. You're not okay!" Cisco added, his face emotionless as he watched his best friend spiral.

"Cisco, my dad was just killed in front of me" Barry started heading towards him with hurt in his eyes, " do you have any idea how that feels?"

That made it go too far. Caitlin had seen herself spiral, had felt every single emotion that was rushing through his body but she kept her head above it all, because he wouldn't let her. And now, she was going to return the favour.

"Watching someone you love die? Yes, I do" Caitlin interjected, she had to calm him down, it was the least she could do.

"Cait.." His voice was small, as if he was giving in to calming down but his body wasn't co-ordinating with his brain. His mind had begun to calm down, but his body, was getting even more fuelled up. He walked over into the middle of the room and just crouched down, rubbing his hands over his face.

"Look, Barry, I-I, know how cold, and angry, and distant that can make you but when this happened to me you were the one who kept me in check. You told me to stop and take a breath and that's all we're telling you to do now" Caitlin concluded.

Iris stared at Barry intently, watching his every move. Seeing him so broken, so empty inside after his father's passing had been hard, but seeing him spiral right in front of her and she wasn't able to help him; that hurt more. His eyes were brimming with tears, tears she knew he wouldn't let fall, he couldn't cry in front of them, he couldn't give them what they wanted to see. To see him breaking.

"I'm telling you.. I'm good" he said softly, he had felt all of his energy rush out of him, his anger was replaced by exhaustion.

"Really. You're good?" Harry questioned, his voice raising with each syllable, "because it seems to me you wanna do more then stop Zoom. It seems to me you want revenge. If that's why you're doing this, Allen, you will lose"

David walked over to Barry, crouching down beside him as he felt all of Barry's strength slip away, the poor kid had been through too much already. He used David to help him up, and when he was stable enough, he removed his hold and faced Harry.

"Look you guys, " he started, turning his head to look at them all, "I-um- you may not think I can do this. You may think I'm too angry, but we're running out of time! I have to beat him, and I'm going to. Whether I have your help or not; so which one is it?"

They all looked at each other; knowing they had no other choice.
