Hi guys, its been a while! I just wanted to give a shoutout to TheBeatles211 for following this story! And if I don't post a new chapter within two weeks of this being posted, please poke me. I literally want you to send me a PM saying "Poke." Anyways, on with the chapter!
Barry's P.O.V.
After I had fully healed, I looked for a place to hide my suit. Under the mattress? No, too obvious. In the closet? Also too obvious. Then, out of the blue, I had an idea. Under the floor.
Back at Dalton (Flashback)
I walked through the hallways of Dalton back to the room Hunter and I shared. I opened the door, and saw Hunter on his knees, facing the back of the room.
"Hey, Hunt." I said. "What are you doing?"
"Bas, there's something you need to know about most old places, like Dalton." Hunter said, standing up. "And that's that all the floors are the easiest to pull up."
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"Come on Sebastian, you smarter than that." He said. "The best place to hide something is under the floor."
"Oh yeah." I said. "That makes sense."
The flashback ended, and I walked over to the side of my bed. I vibrated my hand, and pulled up a corner of the wooden plank, revealing a small hole, just big enough for my suit. I quickly shoved it in there, and let the plank fall back into place. Perfect.
Bang! Bang! Went my door. "Open up!" Shouted someone on the other side.
I walked over to the door and opened it to see Arthur and three guards on the other side. They walked in past me and started to rummage around my room.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I said. "That's my stuff!"
"Sorry Barry, my father has ordered us to search everywhere in the castle." Arthur said.
"Guards are searching the upper and lower towns as we speak."
"But why?"
"We're looking for that vigilante sorcerer who calls himself The Flash."
It took all of my willpower not to scream that he wasn't the vigilante, Oliver was. The mayor had presented him the key to the city! But I was starting to get worried about the knights. If they found the suit, they would know I was the Flash. I knew I would be able to get away, but Cisco would kill me if I left his suit. Also, I needed Merlin's help to get back!
"That's enough." Arthur said, and the Knights stopped rifling through my things. "Sorry again, not my orders. I actually kind of like how the Flash saved that woman."
"Yeah, I thought he was pretty cool too."
Merlin's P.O.V.
I was helping Gaius with a potion when Barry came in.
"Hey, Merlin, any progress on-" he stopped short when he saw Gaius.
"Any progress on what?" Gaius said, raising one eyebrow.
"Um." I started, but thankfully, Barry came to my rescue.
"I've been having nightmares," He said, "and I wanted Merlin to make me a sleeping draft." Wow, I thought to myself. That man could really lie!
"Well, you could have just said something." Gaius said. "Merlin, go do that now. Don't make this man endure nightmares any longer then he should. May I ask, what has been troubling you?"
Barry's P.O.V.
I froze when Gaius asked me about my nightmares, which in fact were real. I thought about Patty, and how I had to break up with her to keep her safe, Jay's look when Zoom shoved his hand through his heart, and Iris, o Iris, who I could never truly express my feelings too. I also thought of my days at Dalton; Kurt and his hypocritical ways, and Blaine, who saw the good in me, that is, until I almost caused him to go blind. It was never supported to be that way, the slushie was aimed at Kurt, and not even his face but his torso. I only put the rock salt in to keep it cold, not to purposely scratch his cornea. I trailed off as I realized Merlin and Gaius were staring at me intently.
"You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Gaius said softly.
"No, it's ok." I said. "Back in Central, there was this man who was stuck on killing me. In order to keep my friends safe, I had to distance myself from them. I just dream about what would have happened if he had gotten to them."
"Oh wow." Merlin said.
"I also dreamed about when I was bullied as a kid, and even back until a couple of years ago." I said, thinking of the New Directions and their 'Open Minded ways'. It was all Kurt, who could never tell the difference between flirting and just having fun.
"I can see you had a very scarring childhood, what with your parents dying and the bullying you had to go through."
"It's been tough."
"Well, Merlin will make you the sleeping draft and drop it off later."
"Thanks." I said and walked out of the room.
When I got back to my room, I was already bored. With no television or good books here, what was a man to do? I decided to run around the lower town to access my surroundings just in case I needed an escape route or something, as Oliver taught me to do. So I changed into my suit and took off.
I ran out of the castle, careful to avoid any guards or maids who could report me. I then slipped into the outskirts of the upper town and then into the lower towns. However, my luck started to run out, as a patrol caught sight of me and called for reinforcements.
A patrol of guards came running at them, and I stood my ground.
"I don't want to hurt you." I said. "I'm not an enemy to Camelot."
"You are a sorcerer." one said. "And all sorcerers are enemies to Camelot."
"No, I'm not. I was made from science, not sorcery. And again, I don't want to hurt you."
Just then, I heard the click clack of a horse coming. I looked and saw it was Arthur.
"Good job." He said. "You caught the sorcerer."
"First, they didn't catch me." I said. "I'm just standing my ground. And I was just explaining to your knuckle head guards that I'm not a sorcerer, I was made from science, purely science."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that because I'm not a sorcerer, I'm not a threat to Camelot. So I would greatly appreciate it if you would stop hunting me."
"You remind me of someone," Arthur said, "But I can't yet put my finger on it. Now, guards collect this man and throw him in the dungeons!"
"How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not a threat!"
"You are, and you will soon find yourself locked in a cell where you can do no more harm."
"No can do I'm afraid," I said, and I ran around and knocked out all the guards. I put my hands up and faced Arthur.
"Self defense." I said, and before he could draw his sword, I knocked him out too.
3rd person P.O.V.
Word of the Flash had soon traveled from kingdom to kingdom; the man who could run faster than humanly possible. It has spread to the farthest corners of the five kingdoms, and all the trees and the peoples in between, good and evil. One dark night, the news even spread to one of the darkest evils of all; the Lady Morgana and the witch Morgause.
"Sister, what should we do about this, this Flash?" Morgana asked her half sister Morgause.
"He has sworn his loyalty to Camelot, and if he is anything like Arthur's servant boy, Merlin, he will stay loyal."
"I agree dear sister. The best way to fight fire is with fire, the best way to fight the Flash is to get the his enemy"
Morgana a grin formed on her face. She turned to the sky and yelled "Ic ábannan þé sé bealu æt þý Flash"
Hunter Zolomon felt a tingling in his gut, which spread throughout his body, to his arms, legs, head, everything, and he disappeared from his house with a small pop, and felt himself land in a leafy forest. He looked up and saw two women, one with dark hair and one with light, staring down at him, evils smiles on their faces.
"Welcome."
Ic ábannan þé þæs edwend sé bealu æt þý Flash = I summon thee, the evil of the Flash
I probably just butchered the old English language - sorry ;\
