Chapter Four

Barry's P.O.V.

I rolled over onto my side, covered by the warm sheets of my bed. Even though I was 1000 years in the past, the beds were relatively the same. That's weird. I thought to myself. I wonder why Merlin hasn't woken me up yet! I sat up and looked out the window. Shit ! I said to myself. It was bright outside and looked like it was about 9:00am. Training usually started at what looked like 6:30am. I zoomed out of my bed and into some clothes, then left to head down to the kitchens for some food. Where was Merlin?

"Barry!" someone said from behind me. It was Merlin.

"Merlin! Why didn't you wake me up for training?" I accused.

"Trainings been canceled." Merlin said. "Something happened in the upper town - I'm actually supported to be meeting Arthur there now. You should come."

"Sure!" I said, and followed Merlin down the stairs and out of the castle. We trudged over the dirt and sand paths that cut through the upper town until we got to a clearing surrounded by knights and guards. The king was standing in the middle. Merlin pushed his way through the crowd, and I followed. In front of me, Merlin gasped at something. I walked past him to see what it was, and I gasped too. There was a man, dead, lying on the dirt. His blood was caked to the ground to spell something. It said Come to me Flash. Zoom wants you dead.

Merlin pulled me aside from the group, his face still frozen. Finally, he started to talk.

"Who's Zoom!"

"Zoom is my worst enemy, who's one goal is to steal my speed and the kill me. He killed my good friend, Jay, and I was so upset about it that I accidentally time traveled here."

"And now Zoom's here." Merlin finished. "And he's set on stealing your speed again."

"But how?" I said. "I thought I made it so he could never come back!

"Morgana." Merlin whispered.

"What does Morgana have to do with any of this?"

"You know she's evil, right?"

"Yeah..."

"She and Morgause must have summoned him with magic when they heard about you. They must have assumed that you wouldn't join their side."

"She's right about that."


3rd Person P.O.V.

(Earlier)

Zoom stood up and ran towards Morgana, pinning her against a rock.

"Why. Did. You. Bring. Me. Here." Zoom yelled.

"Ic þé wiþdríf" Morgause yelled, and Zoom was pushed off her sister. "You know the Flash, right?" she asked.

"Of course." Zoom said. "You know where he is so I can capture him again?"

"Yes." Morgana answered, and walked over to him. "We need you to dispose of the Flash so Camelot will be defenseless."

"I cannot kill him just yet, but I can render him no threat and bring him back from where he came from. We're in about 600 A.D. if I'm correct?"

"Yes. Where are you from?"

"It would be best if I didn't say."

"That's ok. Now go and let the Flash know you're here." Morgana said. "The sooner, the better."


Arthur's P.O.V.

After everyone had arrived at the body, my father starting shouting orders. The guards were going to patrol for the Flash so we could feed him to Zoom, eliminating the threat on Camelot, and Gaius and Merlin were going to examine the body in their chambers. Himself, all the Knights, and I were going to meet for an emergency council meeting. The new kid who couldn't even wield a sword, Barry, was going to join us too.

In the throne room, the king spoke up.

"We need to find this Flash." He said. "He has brought upon us a great threat upon Camelot called Zoom. We must trade him in exchange for Camelots safety."

"But father, wouldn't it be best if we called the Flash and asked him to take care of Zoom?"

"No!" Uther yelled. "We must not dabble with sorcery! Meeting dismissed!"

I stormed out of the room, angered by my father's words. I knew sorcery was bad, but I didn't think this was sorcery. I believe the man in red - I think it's science. The only way to fight this Zoom is with the Flash. I made up my mind. I'm going to find the Flash.

Merlin's P.O.V.

"Merlin!" Arthur yelled, and I ran towards his room. I pushed open the door, expecting to see Arthur standing up ready to give me orders, but instead he was just leisurely sitting on his bed.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Merlin, you have to promise not to tell anyone of this."

"Of what?"

"Just promise me."

I sighed, not knowing what I was getting myself into. "Fine. I promise."

"I'm going to find the Flash. He's the only one who I think can stop this Zoom."

"What!" I yelled. "Arthur, that, that's going against your father's orders! That's treason!"

"Merlin, you promised not to tell. Now please help me."

"No."

"Merlin."

"Uggggh. Fine." I said with a groan. "I'll help you find the Flash." Wow, I thought. I need to tell Barry about this and maybe get him to meet with Arthur as the Flash.

"Now, Merlin, you need to find him."

"And what are you going to do?"

"Don't be stupid Merlin, I'm going to tell my father I completely agree with him."

"Clotpole, making me do all the work." I grumbled.

"What was that?"

"I said you're a clotpole."

Arthur reached over and swatted me on the head.

"Owww." I said.

"Serves you right. And then you can go and muck out the stables."

"Arthur!"

"Go."

Barry's P.O.V.

"You have to meet with Arthur." Merlin said.

"What? Why? I thought he hated the Flash!"

"I did too, but I guess he changed his mind."

"Even if that's true, I'm not going! It could be a trap!" I said, pacing the floor.

"We both know that if they capture you you could be miles away with a blink of an eye."

"Yeah, that's true." I said. "But still, I don't want to be an enemy to Camelot!"

"I have been an enemy to Camelot, by Uther's rulings, since I was born. It's not that bad." Merlin said, grinning.

"Fine." I said, giving into him. "You're just as bad as my friend Iris. She can get me to do anything."

"Friend?" Merlin asked. "Or more?"

"No, just a friend." I said in return, wishing that Merlin was right that Iris was more than a friend.


Arthur's P.O.V.

Merlin said to meet him at the old oak tree at the outskirts of the lower town. And that's where I was, waiting for him to come. He was late, as usual. I looked up and around at the golden leaves falling to the ground, making way for the golden rays of the sun to shine through. It was a truly beautiful sight. The leaves started to stir, and then were swept up with a whoosh, only to fall back down around a man in a blood red suit. I jumped and drew my sword of of instinct, only to resheath it.

"The Flash." I said.

"What do you want? I presume I don't have to remind you of what happened last time you confronted me. I will though, remind you that you cannot capture me, no matter how hard you try."

I stopped. This man was surprisingly ruder than he was before. What if this was an imposter?

"You sound different." I finally said.

"Sorry. I sometimes get snarky sometimes."

"So how did Merlin find you?" I asked.

"Merlin... That's right, your overworked servant."

Overworked servant! I almost shouted out of disbelief. But I wanted to see how he had known where to find me, so I bit my tongue and kept my mouth shut.

"He didn't have to tell me anything." The Flash continued. "I have my ways of finding out information."

"So you heard us talking?" I asked. I was starting to get irritated with this man. Who was he anyways, to be giving riddles as answers to the me, prince of Camelot.

"No, I don't say that."

"Then how?"

"That doesn't matter." I sighed. Of course he was going to say that.

"So why did you want me?" The Scarlet speedster asked.

"I need your help to defeat Zoom, you know, the man who killed that poor man."

"I know Zoom. And you, the crown prince of Camelot, asking for help? This is some sort of trap."

"No, it's not!" I protested. Why wouldn't this man believe me? "And how do you know Zoom? Do you work with him?"

"Of course not!" The Flash yelled. "He killed my friend - why would I want that? He's from Earth-2, everyone from there is evil!" He stopped, a look of realization forming on his face as he comprehended what he just said. "Never mind." He said quickly.

"What's Earth-2?" I asked.

"Nothing."

"What. Is. Earth. Two?" I growled. I needed to know what it was, to know the whole story behind Zoom. How could I trust a man who is hiding something about my enemy from me?

"I can't tell you that!" The Flash yelled.

"Why? Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I don't trust you - your father declared me an enemy to Camelot! And it's not even a trust issue, I'll mess up the future if I do!"

"The future?" I asked.

"Oh shit." he said, and I felt my feet lift off from beneath me. I looked around for the Flash, but all I could see were colored blurs. I looked down, and saw he was running, carrying me to some unknown destination.

"Shit." I said.
