Prompt form KaMi-HiMe BVB. The Flash was framed for murder and is powerless and being held at gunpoint by Eddie who thinks he's protecting Iris. He shoots Barry and Iris rushes to his side and finds out he's Barry.

Slight AU Barry never got his powers back in Blackout.

A very unusual case landed on Joe's desk. An anonymous tip had been called in about a murder. The report said that a red-ish yellow blur had been seen running away from the body.

Joe knew that couldn't be Barry, he didn't have his powers anymore. So, who could it have been?

The man who killed Nora Allen. Joe realized. He had powers like Barry's, and he had killed before.

Eddie, Joe, and Barry went to inspect the crime scene.

"So, the report said that a red-ish yellow blur killed him?"

"Mhmm." Joe answered.

"Are we thinking this is Iris's 'Flash'? It makes the most sense of anything." Eddie suggested. Barry froze.

"No one has heard from the Flash in a week, not even Iris. Besides, if 'the Flash' does exist, he has only ever saved people. What would make this person any different from anyone else in this city? I don't think he would kill anyone. Iris describes him as a slightly cocky Barry."

"She never said that to me." Barry looked confused.

"I thought it was pretty funny when she told me that, and a little disturbed."

Eddie looked over at Barry. "Are you the Flash, Barry?" He said with mock suspicion.

"I plead the fifth." Barry replied in a similar tone, expect he was a little more nervous. Joe gave him an amused look and mouthed 'watch it.'

"You still have to admit that he's a suspect unless there are more super speed people out there."

Joe visibly winced. "Yeah, we'll have to look for him." Joe mouthed an apology to Barry.

"Iris is not going to be happy about that." Barry reminded them.

"Why don't you tell her if it comes to that, Barry?" Eddie suggested.

"I'm just forensic scientist. You guys do the investigating, not me."

"That's enough get back to work." Joe said, shaking his head at the two boys.

"There is nothing here but dust. But, there are no foot prints. How is that possible?"

"I suggest you find out, Barry."

"The victim wasn't killed here. Based off pf the wounds there should be a lot more blood than there is. Unless we're looking for a super speed vampire that can hover above the ground, there must be another crime scene."

"We'll alert the precinct." Joe responded.

"We should have Iris post a request to meet with the Flash. Just for questioning." Eddie suggested to Joe.

"If you're ok being the one to ask her."

"I'm dead." Eddie said as he pulled out his phone to call his girlfriend and so to be murderer.

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this." Iris said sitting inside Jitters with Eddie after closing. "This is betrayal in every form. If he forgives me, it will be a miracle."

"I'm not going to arrest him, yet." Iris punched Eddie in the arm and he winced.

The Flash walked into Jitters.

"Are you ok?" Iris asked noticing that he had walked in.

"Other than having lost my powers in the power outage last week, I'm ok. That's why I couldn't help you when Tockman had you. I'm sorry about that, by the way." He said using a voice modulator he had borrowed from the Arrow.

"See, Eddie, he can't be your murderer. The reason he was a suspect was his speed. He doesn't have it anymore, he can go."

"He's lying."

"What makes you say that, Eddie?" Barry asked. He started to walk toward Eddie, and Eddie pulled his gun stepping in front of Iris.

"Iris said you vibrated your voice to disguise it, right? You're still doing it." Barry continued to walk toward him.

"This is a voice modulator. I borrowed it from a friend. I didn't think it would a good idea to let you hear my voice. At least one of you would recognize it." Barry took another step closer to Eddie and Iris.

"Don't come any closer."

"Eddie, you're being ridiculous. He's not going to hurt me. He has saved my life over and over again. That doesn't seem like a murderer to me."

"To me it seems like he let you deal with Tockman on your own so that he could claim to have lost his powers, so he wouldn't be a suspect when he used his powers to murder and innocent man."

"I don't care that you're accusing me of murder. It's hard enough to understand that there is one person with super speed, two or more is almost impossible to accept, but even if I had it in me to kill someone, I would never leave Iris in danger if there was anything I could do about it." Barry's voice was hard. He took another step and Eddie shot at him.

The bullet hit his left shoulder. Iris rushed out from behind Eddie to where the Flash lie bleeding on the ground.

Eddie walked over still pointing the gun at the Flash.

"You can put that away. I don't heal fast anymore. Gosh, how does the Arrow deal with getting shot so often? This hurts, like really bad."

That was when Barry noticed that the voice modulator was broken.

"Barry?" Iris asked, panicked. He nodded. "Eddie call an ambulance. NOW!"

Eddie stood shell shocked. "You didn't kill that man."

"Nope."

"Joe didn't believe you were a suspect."

"Nope."

"Ambulance now!" Iris shouted.

"NO. No ambulance, no hospital, just take me to STAR Labs. It's safer that way. Also Caitlyn and Dr. Wells are less likely to dissect me because of my warped DNA."

"Ok." Iris said though she was very confused by the mention of 'warped DNA.' "Eddie, help me carry him to the car."

"I'm sorry, Barry." Eddie said as he lifted him up. Barry wasn't sure if it was for shooting him, not believing him, or moving him which hurt almost as much as the first shot.

"Oww," Was all Barry managed before the world went black.
