Ok guys strap in for this chapter. It's a bit lengthy. Mostly to make up for my disappearance. And before I start I would like to ask one of my reviewers, Smanatha, what do you mean about legalities and content?

"How did you…?" I stopped Caitlin before she could finish.

"Later, right now I have to help Cisco." I sped off before she could speak.

I ran as fast as I could back to the other side of the city. Two superpowered people were at the place where Cisco was helping his boss, a man that I didn't trust. But that didn't mean that I had a choice whether or not to save him. Joe raised me to be helpful to anyone and everyone no matter what they look like or how they act. Especially people like Harrison Wells.

I arrived at the house where the front had been blown off. Good thing that this house is far from the nearest neighborhood, I thought. I walked through the front porch which was blown to bits along with the door. If Parcia has this much power then she has to be stopped at all costs. Cisco's screams rang out from above.

"Barry! Caitlin! Somebody! Help us!"

I was about to run up before I came to the realization that if Cisco or Harrison saw what I could do, then they'd start trying to see how I could do what I can do. I trusted Cisco with my life but I already knew that he would be eager to study any scientific breakthrough and I honestly already didn't trust Harrison Wells. I searched the living room for something to cover my face and spotted a red scarf on one half of the broken couch. I picked it up and wrapped it around my face only letting my hair and eyes be visible.

I rushed up expecting the two villains to attack me. Nothing came. The last set of stairs leading to the second floor were completely destroyed. The hallway was also out of order. Portraits were thrown around, some were torn to shreds, others were intact but on the floor with the frame cracked. The curtains and wallpaper had also suffered the same fate. I ran looking through each room quickly until I came onto the right one at the end of the hall.

"HELP!" Cisco screamed hoarsely as I opened the door.

Parcia had her foot pressed on top of his throat crushing his only air way. Kylie had Dr. Wells against the wall with him unconcious.

"Stop! Parcia. You do not want to do this!" I yell at her, I had found a way to make my voice shake when I spoke so no one would recognize me.

"Who are you supposed to be? And my name is Whip," she asked me with disgust in her face.

"I'm the one who will do anything to stop you both if you continue with this," I respond.

Kylie let go of Harrison, causing him to slump to the floor lifelessly, and started making her way toward me.

"I don't want to hurt you," I put my hand on Kylie's shoulder gently.

She grabs my hand tightly with a surprising preventing me from getting out of the way as she blows dust into my face. I yell out as the dust hits my eyes, my nose and lungs burn as I inhale the dust. I stare at her groggily, "What did you do to me?" I managed to say.

"I blew some diphenhydramine onto you. In a couple minutes it'll be lights out for you," she said with a smile.

The room started swaying around me. I fell to my hands and knees trying to regain my balance.

"Now you're just playing dirty," I grunt.

I got up and struggled to stay on my feet. I managed to get to Dr. Wells and pick him up. Parcia threw the whip at me trying to grab me with it as I tried to escape. The energy hit me but I barely felt a thing as it disintegrated. Parcia's howls followed me as I escaped.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-TFB-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I woke up on a bed with Caitlin standing next to me. To the left of my bed Dr. Wells was still unconscious, but at least he was still breathing.

"What happened? Where am I?" I asked confused.

I remembered fighting Whip and Kylie and then running away with Dr. Wells, but I had no recollection of how I got here.

"You had diphenhydramine in your system. It caused you to pass out, and you're in STAR Labs. I found you inside the lobby unconscious with my dad," she answered. "He was also apparently knocked out with that chemical."

Dr. Wells was connected to the heart monitor. It beeped steadily showing that his condition was stable. I wanted to tell Caitlin that I was sorry but she started talking before I could say anything.

"Whip and Kylie have been broadcasting the whole time you were out," Caitlin informed me as she switched on the tv.

-...hero. We want Dr. Harrison Wells. He is the man who destroyed our lives and we want to make him pay. CCPD we told you 2 hrs ago that we would give you 2 hrs to give him to us before we'd start killing people here in Central City National Bank. Well guess what? Time's up- She said with a wicked smile. She brought a man up from his knees who was behind her.

"No please don't tell me that she's going to do what I think she's going to do," Caitlin cried out as I stood up from the bed still looking at the screen.

-This here is Frank the manager of Central City National Bank. He's got a wife and two daughters. His blood is on all of your hands Central City, for not giving us Harrison Wells. Hope that he's worth the innocent blood-

Her whip materialized which she wrapped around the man's neck and tightened it. The man's eyes bulged as he gasped desperately for air. He scratched at the rope tightening around his throat in a vain attempt to take it off.

In the background Kylie, who was sitting on a desk above the frightened spectators, looked down ignoring the sounds the man made.

Parcia tightened the golden lasso even more. As she did the man's eyes rolled to the back of his head revealing the whites of his eyes. The rope finally tore through the skin of his neck spewing blood everywhere, even on the hostages. Parcia used all of her strength to cut through the rest of his head, it popped off with a sickening sound and rolled onto the ground.

Caitlin screamed in horror as that happened. I went to her side and tried to comfort her as much as I could, "Everything is going to be okay. Everything is going to be fine. I'm going to catch her I promise."

She buried her face into my shoulder as she sobbed. Her tears felt surprisingly cold when they touched my skin. I ran my fingers through her hair in an attempt to sooth her.

"How could she do that? How could anyone do that to another person?" she asked me as she faced me. Her eyes felt as if they were looking far away, as if she were remembering some distant memory. "Why didn't Kylie do anything? She just ignored everything."

"I don't know but I have to stop them," I said hugging her tightly again.

I turned to look at the tv, still keeping Caitlin close to me, as Parcia started talking again.

-Every 15 minutes another person will die. We'll broadcast it live until we get what we want-

Behind her Kylie had no facial expression. She was just there staring into the camera absently. The tv flipped to static once Parcia turned off the feed.

"I have to go stop them now," I whispered into Caitlin's ear.

"You can't. You saw what they did to that man. Parcia has no remorse. She's not human, and she will kill you," I looked into Caitlin's pleading eyes.

"I'm the only one who can stop her. The police can't. I've seen the reports on her. They think she uses some kind of new technology that she somehow swiped. They don't know that she's different just like me, and they will get hurt. Besides, I can't do nothing knowing that I could've done something to help. It's just not me," I offered her a weak smile.

She sighed, "I know but I had to at least try and ask you to not go. But I knew you'd say that which is why I made a plan." She moved away from my grasp as she went to the desk.

"Ok then tell me what you got Luv," I smirked.

"I'm not your Luv," her expression hardened before she continued. "Parcia seems to have gained control over her own bio-energy which gives her the ability to create energy constructs. Kylie has the ability to infuse her dead skin cells with chemicals which is how she was able to knock you out with diphenhydramine."

"Ok, this is all good to know but how do I stop them?" I asked impatiently.

"If you didn't interrupt me then I'd've told you how. You have to get Kylie to produce more of that chemical. Once she has you have to move fast. Literally move fast. Specifically in circles around them. It'll create a vortex of air. The chemical will only affect both of them instead of you or anyone else."

Dr. Wells started groaning.

"I have to go," I said ready to leave.

"Wait," Caitlin got a round device from the desk next to the door.

She handed it to me, "Put it in your ear. It'll keep us both in touch. I can talk to you from anywhere at anytime. It is also small in enough to be hidden from teachers."

"You know you could've just asked for my number right? I woulda given it to you without a moment's hesitation," I smirked. "Well gotta go Luv, time's almost up." I said making her scoff.

"I'm not your L…." I cut her off by kissing her cheek lightly before vanishing in a blur of yellow electricity and red.

-o0o-

"Kylie turn on the camera. It's time for another warning." Parcia smirked.

"B-but what's the point in killing innocents?" Kylie protested.

"Since when do you care?"

"I don't but why take out your anger on them?" Kylie stopped when she saw Parcia's deadly glare.

"Your growing SOFT Kylie," Parcia warned.

"But…"

"Never mind I'll do it myself," Parcia cut her off.

She quickly set up the camera and went to the frightened group of people that were cowering on the floor in the middle of the building. She picked a young girl in her teens by the hair and dragged her to the camera.

She turned on the camera and pointed it to the girl.

"What's your name hun?" she asked.

"M-miran-Miranda Baker," she stuttered as she felt the fear consume her.

"Well Miranda, please know that you didn't have to die if CCPD had just given me what I asked for." She said softly as she squeezed her cheeks.

Miranda looked at Parcia in horror as she materialized her whip. She felt a jolt in her body as Parcia wrapped the lasso around her throat loosely.

"People of Central City. 15 minutes have gone by once again and it is time for another life to be, snuffed out," Parcia smiled in amusement.

Kylie was once again looking down feeling the guilt as her partner was announcing another murder.

"This here is Miranda Baker and her blood is on everyone's hands for not giving me what…"

A blur of electricity whisked away the camera and all the hostages except for Miranda who was still held in place by the energy whip.

"Parcia? Hero boy is back," Kylie announced.

"Really? I hadn't noticed," Parcia retorted.

She turned around and tried to grab Miranda before anything else happened but it was too late. She was gone too.

Miranda noticed that all the hostages were disappearing into thin air, two by two, before the other two crooks realized. Then she felt her savior pick her up. The lightning emanating from him sent another jolt through her body and caused the energy whip to dissipate. Time seemed to slow down for her; everything was moving slowly. Her eyes couldn't move at all no matter how hard she tried, but she could still see what was in front of her. She could also perceive everything that was happening to and around her. Someone had picked her up in a cradling position that mothers would use with their newborn babies. Her face was facing her mysterious hero's face. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, yellow blonde hair, and a freshly shaven face. He seemed to be the age of someone in high school. In fact, he looked familiar. His scarf that wrapped around his face was enough to stop her from recognizing him.

Once he put her down he spoke too fast for her to hear anything but a high pitch sound that left her ears ringing. His voice still had a distinct humanness to it though. He zoomed back inside leaving her alone. The instant that he stopped touching her, time seemed to speed back up. Everything faded to black for her.

"Parcia, stop this nonsense, or I'll have to do whatever it takes to stop you from murdering innocents," Barry threatened.

-Barry I managed to hack into the bank's security feed- Caitlin's voice came from his link unit.

"That isn't my name," Parcia sounded annoyed.

She futilely tried to lash at him with her whip as he walked up to her. He was right at eye level with her as she stared wide eyed at him.

"Did you forget that that won't work on me?" Barry asked. There was a hint of amusement in his voice.

"No but I all I had to do was distract you long enough," Parcia smirked.

-Barry! Speed Vortex! Now!-

Barry's eyes crackled with lightning. Everything froze up as he turned around. Kylie was frozen, dust flying mid-air. Barry moved behind her and pushed her toward Parcia. The bones bent and cracked but Flash was moving too fast to notice. He began to run around them both at high speeds.

-o-Parcia-o-

The boy in the scarf stood in front of me. I knew that my whip couldn't do anything to him but I had to distract him long enough for Kylie to do what we planned. Behind him I saw Kylie sneaking up to him with some dust in her hand.

"What if the hero boy shows up?" Kylie asked me.

I tossed a ball in the air and caught it as it fell back down, "You will summon up some of that dust that you used to immobilize him, but this time you'll add something deadly and painful," I replied with a wide grin.

In a blur of movement Kylie was pushed on to me. All of my confidence was drained as I heard her bones snap like twigs. The sounds echoed through the empty bank. A blur of red started circling us as Kylie fell onto me, limp. Her eyes stayed open holding an empty, blank gaze; mouth slightly open.

I couldn't see how fast the guy was going but I could feel that he was picking up speed. Kylie's dust began circling us; flying into my face. I felt my body begin to shut down. Air was being forced out of my lungs. Blood began coming out of my eyes, nose, ears, pores, and some began to pool in my mouth. My body began to float along with Kylie's as I began to convulse.

-o9o-

"It wasn't your fault Barry. How would you know that Kylie blew a deadly concoction?

"Yeah you better get to school now.

"Yeah I'll call you if anything else happens or if anyone needs your help. For now catch up on school.

"Yeah. Ok. Bye. And I'm not your luv," I hung up on Barry.

I sighed as I leaned over the counter, "Barry. If you knew that you actually killed Kylie, it would break you."

I looked at the corpse on the counter that belonged to Kylie. Her back was shattered. A shard of bone sliced through her nerves and was lodged on her heart. There was also a lot of internal bleeding. The same thing happened with Parcia. Her body had pools of blood inside caused from oxygen being violently sucked from her body.

"Our powers are dangerous," I said in realization.

I shut my eyes tightly and gripped the counter as I struggled to breath. I opened my eyes and saw that the corpse and table were covered in a thin layer of ice.

"No. No. NO! It can't be happening again."

-=-=-=After Credits=-=-=-

Harrison Wells moved through the halls of STAR LABS in his wheelchair. He stopped at some point in the hall and placed his hand on the wall. STAR LABS had once been in ruins due to the explosion of the PA but with some help of contractors and funders. Dr. Wells was able to rebuild the place and restore it to its original glory.

"Commence Scanning Sequence," he commanded.

A panel appeared under his hand and started to scan. The wall opened up allowing Wells to enter. Inside the room a light turned on illuminating the white room.

"Gideon, show me, the future."

-Yes Dr. Wells- a female voice responded.

The hologram of a newspaper appeared in front of the man. The headline read "FLASH DESTROYS CENTRAL CITY". At the bottom right another headline also read "RED SKIES VANISH" and "KILLER FROST STILL AT LARGE AFTER MURDERING HER FAMILY"

Dr. Wells struggled to get up from the wheelchair. Gideon summoned a metal railing from the ground to help Dr. Wells get a proper hold to prevent from falling. He made his way to a glass display case and shoved his ring against an empty button hole. A yellow, red, and dark blue suit appeared on the mannequin.

Wells took out a small picture from his pocket that was damaged by the effects of time. A young woman dressed in a yellow sundress and sun hat stood smiling. She held a little girl's hand who had blue eyes and the same yellow hair as the man next to her. On the right of the picture a man in a business type suit stood with a straight posture and hair combed to the left heading to the back. A young woman with red hair and brunette hair roots had her arm in the crook of his arm.

His face broke into a smile and tears began to streak down his face, "I'll fix what never meant to happen. I'll do this for you all."

A/N: Hey guys sorry for the delay. I present you guys with the ending for the 2nd episode of The Flash Beginnings. I've been sorta dealing with things as of late. And combine it with the stress of school well… It isn't looking good for me. I've lost some friends and I don't talk much with my "best friend" anymore so whatever free time I have, I spend sleeping or watching tv regretting my existence and wondering where it all went wrong. But don't worry I'll still be here to update my stories. I just don't have a schedule. Not that I ever had one to begin with. Anyway, if you're still here remember to fav/follow this story and me. Also leave a review if you can. It all helps me with my morale and tells me that I'm being appreciated by someone. Until next time. Toodles. =)
