Chapter 4: Saviour
Previously on A New Perception
As the Captain started to walk back to the party. Zoom arrived and grabbed Caitlin
"As I told you, I will take everything from you" Zoom said
"Zolomon let her go" I said "This is between me and you" Captain Singh turned around and saw Zoom holding Caitlin. He came running with his gun out
"Let her go!" He yelled while running closer. Zoom ran off with Caitlin
"Caitlin!" I yelled. I sped off not caring if Singh found out that I'm the flash. I followed Zoom until I lost him. I searched the city many times. I returned to STAR Labs.
"Cisco search the city for a high amount of Static Electricity." I said
"Where's Caitlin?" Cisco asked. All I did was look at him
"I'm on it." He said running towards the computer
And now the continuation…
"Cisco anything?" I asked
"If you keep running Barry I won't be able to find her" Cisco said
I stopped using my speed.
A week later
Caitlin's POV
"Why did you take me Hunter?" I asked
"I thought it was obvious" Hunter said "I love you Caitlin"
"But I don't love you" I yelled
As I said that Hunter reverted back to Zoom
"Well then if when I get back and you're not here then I know I made a mistake but if you're here then I know I was right" As Zoom ran off Captain Singh came to extract me.
"Miss Snow" Said the Captain
"Captain Singh? What are you doing here?"
"We've came to get you out of here"
Barry's POV
"Where are you Cait?" I said looking at the map of Central City
I went over to the Time Vault to try and figure out where Caitlin is using Gideon.
"Gideon has there been any unusual amounts of static electricity around the city?"
"There has been one unusual amount of static electricity around the Central City Police Department"
"Hey Barry can you come to the Cortex?" Cisco asked on the comms. I walked over to the cortex to see Cisco waiting for my by the entrance.
"Hey Cisco, what is it?" I asked. Cisco just pointed to the Med Bay. I ran over to it to see my Dad doing a check up on Caitlin.
"Caitlin!" I yelled while running towards her.
"Hey Barry" Caitlin said
"Barry" He said walking to me "She's still in shock" Even though Caitlin might not be fully here, I still wanted to see how she is doing. I walked back over to Caitlin.
"How are you doing?" I asked
"Better" She said grabbing my hand "Hunter has taken over CCPD"
"Captain Singh?" I asked. Caitlin looked over to the entrance to show Barry.
"Mr Allen" Singh said "This was the last spot I would think to be the Flash's hideout. How long?"
"Since I reawoke from the coma. Captain you have to understand why I couldn't tell anyone, it would have endangered my family, my friends, the person I love."
"I do understand Allen"
As Harry walked around the corner Singh drew his weapon.
"Captain, this is not Harrison Wells… of our Earth" I said
"What do you mean… our Earth"
"Harry is from Earth-2, another Earth within the multiverse"
"Multiverse?"
"There may be a couple of things that we may want to catch you up on. Dad do you mind"
"Yeah no problems slugger, but we will have a talk when this is all over" Dad said. I walked back over to Caitlin.
"Do you need anything Cait?" I asked
"Maybe a Big Belly Burger and my own bed" Caitlin said
"I can guarantee Big Belly Burgers but I'll have to ask the doctor" I said jokingly
"Barry, seriously?"
"Come on you would have a biased opinion. Fine, let's get you out of here" I picked up Caitlin and ran her to her apartment.
"Lie down while I go and grab food" I said
"Okay" She said with agreement. I ran over to Big Belly Burger and grabbed some food for the both of us and ran back.
"Delivery!" I yelled
"Yay food, Thank you Barry"
"Hey it's no problem Cait, anything for you"
"Anything?" Caitlin asked
"Yeah, anything"
"Would you stay here and keep me company? Maybe even watch tv?"
"Sure" I said while lying down "What show do you want to watch?"
"What do you want to watch?" She asked
"How about 'Orange Is the New Black'?"
"Oh, I love that show" We watched two episodes and I saw that Caitlin has fell asleep in my arms. I turned off the tv and started to get up until I felt Caitlin grab my arm.
"Caitlin go back to bed I'm just leaving"
"Please Barry don't go"
"I have nothing to change into"
"Are you able to just run back to grab something and come back?"
"Okay, I'll be back" I ran home to grab some clothes to change into and ran back to Caitlin's.
The next day
Caitlin's POV
"Morning Barry" I said still lying down as Barry woke up.
"Morning Cait"
"Hey Barry I have a question for you"
"Okay, What is it?" Barry asked
"I was wondering that because we had been going out for awhile so I was wondering if you'd like to be my… uh... boyfriend?"
"I wouldn't like anything better" Barry said leaning in and kissed me. We kissed for a while before we left. We left for STAR Labs and when we entered the cortex everyone looked at us and we realized that Barry still had his arm around me.
"Barr can I talk to you for a second?" Joe asked
Barry's POV
We walked out of the cortex into the hall.
"So you and Caitlin…" He started
"Yeah, Joe" I answered
"What happened to you and Iris?"
"I let things go since she married Eddie and also I love Cait and that's why I need your help"
"With what?"
"I was thinking that it was time I got myself my own place"
"Oh thank god. I thought you would never leave"
"Joe! Come on"
"What, you have been living with me for sixteen years. Anyways I'll help you find a place."
"Thanks Joe, and can we keep this under the wraps for now, I don't want anyone to know for now"
We walk back into the cortex to create a plan to defeat Zoom. We work on a plan for hours until we figured something out.
"What if you use the speed nanites that Arrow used to take down Reverse Flash?" Cisco suggested
"That might work" Harry said
"Do we even have any?" I asked
"Ol… Arrow gave me some the last time he was here" Cisco said "I'll go get it setup"
"Harry I need to to find a way to bring Zoom here" I said
"I have an idea on how I come get him here" Harry said while walking off
A few hours later
"Barry we're ready" Cisco says over the comms
"Harry do it" I yelled
"Zoom I know you can hear me" Harry yelled. Zoom runs up to Harry.
"What do you want?" Zooms says with a demonic voice.
"I have more of Flash's speed" He says giving Zoom a vial with the nanites. Zoom takes the vial, looks at it and crushes it with his hand.
"You didn't think I would notice, a fake" Zoom said as he punches Harry across the front of STAR Labs. I run up and hit Zoom. "Flash, if I can't get your speed from him, I'll take it myself" We fought all around STAR Labs.
Cisco's POV
"What's Barry doing?" I said watching what Barry is doing "He's not able to outrun Zoom"
"He's not going to" Harry says walking in "He's taking it out of the equation"
"What happened?" I asked
"We move to plan B"
Barry's POV
As we are running up the side of STAR Labs we take off into the sky removing our speed from the fight. As we are falling we start to punch each other but Zoom get the best of me.
"You will not win" Zoom says
As we get back up, Zoom punched me at least thirty times within five seconds.
"This is where it ends, Flash" Zoom said while proceeding to break my back. I end up falling on the ground. I hear a gunshot and see Zoom grab something out of the air.
"Caitlin, you betrayed me, you'll now see the consequence by watching your friend die. He stabs me in the chest with the dart.
"Barry!" Caitlin yelled
Two Minutes Ago
Caitlin's POV
"He's killing him!" I yell. I see the weapon that Cisco and Harry were working on as a plan B. I sneak behind them and grab it. I run to Barry and Hunter and aim at Hunter.
"This is where it ends, Flash" Zoom said while proceeding to break Barry's back.
I fire at him but he catches it out of the air.
"Caitlin, you betrayed me, you'll now see the consequence by watching your friend die!" He says with a demonic voice. Hunter stabs Barry with the dart. He stands back up, looks at me and runs off.
"Barry!" I yell while running towards him. "Barry, Barry!" I yell while trying not to cry and looking down at Barry's bloody face. "Cisco, Barry's down, can you breach us to the Med Bay?" I asked Cisco over the comms. Cisco opens up a breach and I pick up Barry and go threw. I put Barry on the Medical Bed and checked his heart rate. "He's dying, his doesn't have a pulse."
"Could it just be his normal heart beat?" Cisco asked
"No, I have a feeling" I reply "Cisco, we need to get the defibrillator"
"On it" Cisco says while running out of the Med Bay. I start to do CPR while saying "Come on Barry, come back, come back to me" over and over until Cisco came back with the defibrillator.
"I got it" Cisco yelled while running back in. I take it and put it on his chest.
"Stand back" I yelled "One, Two, Three" I activate the defibrillator. "One, Two, Three" I activated it again. "One, Two, Three" I activates it again. Everyone started to give up. "One, Two, Three" I activated it again.
"Caitlin I think he's had enough" Cisco said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"No!" I yelled activating it again
"Caitlin!" Cisco yelled
"No! Barry!" Activating it again. Cisco starts to pull me away but I resist and try to activate it again but Cisco got me away from Barry.
"Caitlin. This might not be as hard for me as it is for you but he was my best friend, just promise me to not use the defibrillator on him anymore."
"Okay" I said while crying. I gave Cisco a hug and walked back into the Cortex and everyone left. I heard Cisco say "Get Henry" I was devastated by this, first Ronnie dies now Barry, maybe I'm not meant to find someone. I walk over to Barry and kiss him one final time before walking out in tears.
