Chapter 2
That morning Barry woke up to the sound of a phone ringing. He answered it.
"Hello." Barry
"You sound like you are half asleep. Any way I set up an appointment with a man that can help you." Detective Sims
"Are you sure?" Barry
"Yes, I'll pick you up in half an hour." Detective Sims
"See you then." Barry
He got up, got dressed, and started pacing. He was very weird about how he'd stay alive long enough to get home. This continued till he heard a knock on the door. He walked over, and opened it.
"Are you ready to go?" Detective Sims
"Yeah, I just need to get something." Barry
Barry walks back into the room, grabs his suite case, and walks out of the room. When he gets to the front desk he hands the guy the key.
"I'm checking out." Barry
"Fine." The Guy
They both walk out of the building, put Barry's suite case in the trunk, and drive off. About ten minutes later they arrive in front of what looks like an old warehouse. They walk in and take the elevator to the second floor. When the doors open they were greeted by a man.
"Hello, my name is Winston. Lets talk in my office." Winston
They walk into the office, and see another man sitting in a chair. The stands up, and turns to face them
"My name is Christopher Chance" Chance
They shake hands.
"Nice to meet you." Barry
Winston walked around and sat behind the desk then Chance sat back down.
"Please take a seat." Winston
Barry sat down in a chair just in front of the desk.
"What can we help you with." Winston
"People are trying to kill me, and I don't know why." Barry
"Why not go to the police?" Winston
"To much paper work. By the time the paper work is done I'll be dead." Barry
"True." Winston
"We'll take the case." Chance
"Good I have to go get something, and then we can talk more." Barry
Barry and Detective Sims walk out. Sims opens the trunk Barry takes his suite case out. They shake hands, and Sims drives away.
"Are you sure about this?" Winston
"It'll be fine don't worry." Chance
"Now I'm really worried." Winston
Just then they hear three gun shots. They look out the window to see their client on the ground.
"Oh no don't tell me he's dead already." Winston
They rush downstairs, and out of the building. Winston checks his pulse.
"He's still alive." Winston
"And I think I know why." Chance
He points to three bullet wholes in the wall.
"How is that possible? From were he was standing those shots should have hit." Winston
"That and I recognized the guy." Chance
"Wait you saw him when." Winston
"Yeah when he was walking away." Chance
"Is he a pro?" Winston
"Defiantly in fact he is one of the best." Chance
"And your just telling me this now." Winston
"Since he wasn't hit why is unconscious?" Chance
"Lets get him inside, and sort that out when he wakes up." Winston
Two hours later Barry finally wakes up. As he is sitting up he says.
"Ow that hurt." Barry
"You might want to explain how you avoided three point blank shots to the chest." Winston
"Lucky I guess." Barry
"You are a terrible lair." Winston
"We can't protect you if your not honest with us." Chance
Barry stood up and started pacing with a pensive look on his face. Chance and Winston went into his office.
"What is this guy hiding, and what is the real reason he didn't want to go to the cops?" Winston
"I don't know, you worry to much." Chance
"I wore to much, how can we protect this guy if we know nothing about him?" Winston
"You should call Guerrero we'll definitely need his help with this one." Chance
"Don't change the subject, we need to figure out what to do. Should we just come out and ask him?" Winston
"I'll do that and you call Guerrero." Chance
Chance walks out and Winston picks up the phone. Barry is sitting on the couch looking very pensive.
Chance walks over to him.
"What are you thinking about that would make you have that look on his face?" Chance
Barry stood up, and looked at Chance. He could tell that Barry was in a lot of trouble.
"I was just worried about something." Barry
"Does it relate to the mess you are currently in?" Chance
"Yes it does." Barry
Just then Winston walked out of the office and towards Chance and Barry.
"Guerrero will be here in about ten minutes." Winston
"Who is Guerrero?" Barry
"The third member of our team unfortunately." Winston
About two minutes later the elevator doors opened. And Guerrero walked out
"Did either of you loose your wallet?" Guerrero
They all stuck their hands into their pockets.
"Not me." Chance
"Me neither." Winston
"It's probably mine. Does it have an inscription 'IW+BA' on it?" Barry
"Yes it does." Guerrero
He throws Barry his wallet. Barry puts it back into his pocket.
"Are you the new client?" Guerrero
"Yes." Barry
"How about you tell us about this situation your in? Starting with who you are." Chance
"You don't want me to ask you, dude." Guerrero
"We can't protect you if we don't know what we're dealing with." Winston
{This is defiantly not my world so it won't compromise my secret identity if I tell them.} Barry
"Fine I'll tell you. My name is Barry Allen but I am also known as the Flash." Barry
"You mean your saying you are a superhero. Do you really..." Winston was cut off.
"If you are who you say you are prove it." Chance
"No problem." Barry
He walked over to the closest wall. A second later his hand started to vibrate faster and faster. Then he reach forward and stuck his hand into the wall and pulled it out.
"Did he just stick his hand into a wall?" Winston
"Yes he did." Chance
All three of them were still standing there with looks of absolute shock on there faces. They couldn't believe their eyes.
"Ouch that hurt." Barry
He was holding his hand, with a look of excruciating pain on his face.
"What's wrong?" Chance
"That would be the thousand of tiny nanobots in my blood stream." Barry
"Come again." Winston
"Why don't you start at the beginning." Chance
"It all started yesterday five bad guys set a trap at an old abandoned warehouse. They injected me with nanobots that will kill me if I use my speed. Then one of then used a modified portal ray to send me here." Barry
"It makes sense cripple your enemy, then send him somewhere he would have no support." Chance
"Do you know why three assassins from here are trying to kill you." Guerrero
"The only thing I can figure is that the five bad guys put a hit out on me." Barry
"Does that mean they followed you here?" Winston
"No, my guess is that they are just communicating with them." Barry
"What makes you think that?" Chance
"Isn't obvious if they were here they would be coming after him themselves. Not sending a bunch of hit men." Guerrero
"Your right." Barry
Guerrero walks over to a draw and pulls out a first ad kit. He opens it and pulls our a needle.
"We are going to need a blood sample." Guerrero
"What for?" Barry
"To try to figure out how to fix your nanobot problem." Guerrero
"All right." Barry
Then he rolls up his sleeve. Guerrero walks up to him, and sticks the needle in his arm. He pulls the plunger and then pulls the needle out.
"I'm curious why does your wallet have that inscription on it?" Chance
"My wife Iris gave it to me wile we were still dating. Her maiden name is West." Barry
"That makes sense." Chance
"She is going to be so mad at me when I get back." Barry
"Why would she be mad at you, it's not you fault you got ambushed." Winston
"It's not that. We were going to go on vacation for the first time in years. We were supposed to leave yesterday afternoon." Barry
"That sucks, dude." Guerrero
He was looking at Barry's blood sample under a microscope.
"How are you planing to get home?" Winston
"Bats will figure that out. I just have to stay alive till then." Barry
"Who? Never mind I don't want to know." Winston
"Whoa, there is a lot of little machines in here." Guerrero
"So basically you have an army of professional hit men after you. As well as thousands of nanobots that will kill you if you try to fight back." Winston
"The idea being that if the bullet doesn't kill you the bots will." Chance
"Yeah pretty much." Barry
"Oh joy." Winston
