(Barry's POV)
I couldn't believe who was before my eyes. It couldn't be. She had gone to her Earth already.
Yes. You guessed it. It was Kara. She looked different though. Her hair was brown, not like her usual blonde, and she looked younger, she looked to be in her teens.
That isn't possible, I keep telling myself. I scramble through everything on my desk, to find my phone. I wouldn't be worried if I hadn't noticed the date on my phone.
9th of November, 2006
How could I have gone back in time? I don't remember going back and changing the timeline. I wouldn't do it for no reason.
I also didn't know that there was a Kara on this Earth, or that she would be standing here, in my lab. Or what would one day become my lab, staring at me.
"Hey. Who are you?" she asked, breaking the silence.
"Barry Allen. I work here," I reply.
"I'm-"
"Kara. I know."
"What? My name is Marley. Marley Rose. I'm looking for the CSI."
"That's me."
"Hi. Your Captain wants to see you. He said it was important."
"Oh no," I muttered.
"What?" she asked me, somehow hearing what I said.
Maybe she is like Kara. Not the same name, but she is probably still an alien of some sort.
I follow her down the stairs as my head starts to burn. The CCPD doesn't seem to have changed much between 2006 and 2016.
As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I hear Kara - I mean Marley try and get my attention.
"Hello? You okay?" she asked me.
I immediately snapped out of my thoughts.
"Your boss was looking for you, but he had to go do something so he asked me to come up and get you," she said, "We need you to come help with something that happened with my friends."
Everyone around looked young. Joe looked young. I must've been young. I would've been at school. Imagine what Joe would think if he knew that I'd one day be risking my life to save people, and that I was right about my Mom all along. Oh the information I could spill to get my Dad released from Iron Heights.
Even though I ... I know that if I change the timeline, there could be lots of changes to everything and everyone I care about. Just like with Flashpoint, how everything changed. Well, not everything, just small things.
As I walked past Joe and his not-so-dead partner Fred Chyre, I noticed my reflection in a panel of glass. I looked different. I didn't look like Barry Allen. I looked like a stranger. Which is probably a good thing, considering what it would be like if Joe saw me here.
"(last name)," someone said. I guess that's me. I walk over to where I was called, and I see Captain Singh. Well, a younger version of him.
"Thank you Miss Rose for your help. If you wouldn't mind sticking around for a few minutes to be questioned on what happened," he said, "(add last name). You've finally removed yourself from that nauseating place and come out for fresh air in the open."
Wow. Just wow. I didn't know Captain Singh was this-... Wow. In 2006 I knew him only as Joe's boss, and ever since he was my boss, he hasn't been like this. I kinda liked this side of him. Though I didn't like the roast. At least now I know when he is calling me "allsl" he is talking to me.
"That girl over there, Marley Rose. You two met briefly. Her and her friends were involved in a murder turned car crash. I have too much work to do here, to go, but you were supposed to be there not much longer than an hour ago."
"Yes Captain. I'll be on my way now. Where is it exactly?"
"Central City Auditorium."
I remember the auditorium. My Mom used to take my Dad and I here sometimes. It'd been demolished in 2007 when some foriegner purchaced the land. I never actually properly paid attention to where it was. Since I hadn't been there, or near there, since I was 11, I was completely surprised when Captain Singh marked it on a map right next to where S.T.A.R. Labs was. Right next to where my mothers killer stood.
Part of me wanted to get justice right now. My Dad could be released in a day, and teenage me would have some of his life back. Considering I still somehow have my speed, I'd be out of there in half a second. He wouldn't even know I'd be coming. Harrison Wells- or should I say Eobard Thawne, hadn't created the Particle Accelerator yet. No Particle Accelerator, no Barry Allen with speed. Though, I wasn't Barry Allen. I mean, I am, but on the outside, I'm not.
Old smells riddled the entrance to the auditorum. This was it back in its prime. Flowers lay around the large walkway. Why would someone want to have this place demolished? It was so beautiful. To be honest, I'd forgotten what it looked like, I hadn't been here, or past here since I was 11. So... It would be pointless if I said it was as beautiful as I remember.
I walk to the entrance, and notice all the people gathered around a small area. I look over to see a young girl, most likely in her late teens, with a bullet hole to her chest. I follow the line of police tape with my eyes, to see a car crashed into a nearby tree.
The young girl had blonde hair, and looked sort of familar. I couldn't place from where though.
"You're late."
"Sorry, just a little distracted. Got an ID on the victim?" I say.
"Yeah. Drivers licence found in her pocket. Kitty Wilde. From Ohio."
"Ohio? That's quite far from here." I reply. I'm about to ask the detective to move when he just gets up and leaves. It's like he read my mind.
When I look at the young girl, Kitty, she has multiple bullet wounds to her chest, looking like they came from a 9mm gun. It also looked like she was shot from point-blank range.
I'm not a coroner or medical examiner, but I'd say, that would be the cause of death.
I collected my evidence, and walked over to where the car had crashed. As I got to the car, I noticed it had crashed into someone, and they had been pronounced dead as soon as the parametics had arrived. There was no ID for them yet.
The car was empty, which meant, that whoever drove the car, would be out in the city, and could possibly kill another. If that person was the one who killed Kitty Wilde and this unidentified man.
*Present*
(No ones POV)
Caitlin and Cisco hurried around frantically, looking for Barry. There was a criminal on the loose, and they couldn't stop it on their own. After all, Cisco couldn't properly control his powers yet, and Caitlin wore a necklace that gets rid of her cold powers.
The criminal, Plunder, wasn't actually a meta-human, therefor they shouldn't worry about so much, but this criminal had futuristic tech, so powerful, it easily stopped Wally.
Wally had faught back, and arrested Plunder. This was no use though, Plunder escaped Iron Heights.
Everything in Barry's life was going wrong. He had just watched his love, Iris die in the future, at the hands of Savitar, watched her die and put into a coma, thanks to Eobard Thawne and Shade, and now this was happening.
At least Kara made it back to her Earth alive.
If only she could be here right now.
Barry lay on the ground, barely breathing, replaying the dream for a second time.
The ground was dry, almost like he'd ran into the desert somewhere.
A little fly buzzed close to his face, then flew away, two tiny cameras attached to its eyes.
Someone was doing this to Barry. No one knew where he was, so they couldn't help him.
Barry was just lying on the dry ground, helpless and barely alive.
(A/N I know I went back 2 episodes for Plunder, just pretend that Plunder was after Clive Yorkin)
