The Day Is Saved

(But Not All Is Well)

Chapter 3

Reactions

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea you see within this story. And huge apologies for taking a bit to get this out to you guys! Also to the guest reviewer known as Graydon, who had an issue with how quickly Caitlin made it to STAR Labs, I will be covering that at the end of this so no worries there. Also, the use of referring to Eobard as Wells is something I felt was best for the time being.

The reactions of many of Central City's population was varied, along with those outside of the city who had seen it. Like Felicity and the home team along with Ray and Lance, Ronnie and Stein, and Oliver and Diggle after a League member came rushing up to Ra's Al Ghul that there was something important he needed to witness on one of the information screens they had in place in their monitoring room. Thawne and many other officers of the law were watching in shock at seeing the oncoming wave. Linda had gone back to the news station and she along with the rest of her co-workers were all viewing it happen too. Linda was honestly doing some heavy praying that this Flash guy would succeed in whatever it was he was doing to stop the wave. Her boss, while worried as Hell himself, was also happy that one of his choppers was getting all this on camera for everybody to see.

The loud continuous scream that could soon be heard from the Flash was a bit chilling to hear for many. Many speculated that perhaps this was a bit too much even for the speeding hero. His sudden disappearance however alarmed many. "Where the hell did he go!?" Singh yelled out from his hospital bed as he and his husband watched what happened.

Oliver could be heard muttering the words "Run Barry, run!" Something that made Ra's very curious as it seemed his replacement knew this impossible being. An impossible being that would be most excellent in the world of the assassin. And would speak of the idea to Mr. Queen. Granted, he had a feeling the archer would not wish to have part in it. And would form a secondary idea in how to approach this red suited being known as Barry.

Barry's sudden re-appearance made many instantly happy again, making some wonder if he had wound up running around the world without meaning too. Of course had they known what really happened, sci-fi enthusiasts and scientists around the world would go absolutely nuts. Those in government like Amanda Waller was considering that such a person would be a very, very valuable asset. She was well aware of Oliver Queen's involvement with this person and wondered if he had perhaps told the would be savior of his city about her. Which would considerably make it harder for her to recruit him.

The friction the Flash caused in his running was a success and the wave fell apart. Making many erupt in cheers from his being able to save the city. Malcolm Merlyn was honestly impressed by this feat and noticed the smiles on Oliver and Mr. Diggle's faces. He also saw the interest in Ra's eyes as he looked between the news feed and Oliver. The speedster could be seen falling to his knees, seemingly exhausted from what he had just done.

And to the surprise of many, moments later got back up to his feet and rushed off and soon came back with another man who seemed to have been injured. This whole thing was giving Snart, Rory, and Lisa many considerable plans they could formulate and use against the speedster.

To the annoyance of Oliver, Barry had revealed his very identity to everyone on live television. Who somehow had managed to not even realize he was being filmed. Ra's took note of this impossible being's face and would soon send out someone to gain the information on this being. Nor did it seem that the Wests knew either. "ALLEN!? Allen is the Flash!?" Singh yelled out in disbelief. Something that had Eddie Thawne doing the exact same thing, along with many of those in law enforcement that knew him.

Henry could honestly say he was proud of his son, and a bit worried too now that many seemed to know his identity. He also came to the conclusion this was going to cause problems for him in prison with the other inmates and hopefully the warden would think to prevent those issues from happening. Ronnie and Stein found themselves wishing they could have been there to help Barry in some way. And resolved to finish their mission as quickly as they could so that they could return and aid their friend in his quest to save the city. Especially if it truly was getting to be that dangerous.

Linda could only stare at the screen in shock at what she'd just seen. And when she'd think about it later, she'd realize it all made sense with how he sometimes tended to act. The news chief was already planning to get Miss West or perhaps Mason to interview the man behind the mask. And would even get Miss Park involved as he had seen him come in many times and interact with the both of them. This whole event made Mason himself more determined than he'd been in a long while to find out all he could.

All in all, many were happy over the Flash's success but also curious about what would happen next at the same time. Those that knew Barry and the Wests were the most concerned about the ramifications. Though Eddie felt a bit betrayed after learning of this revelation.

Author's Notes: Yee-haw! Here we are folks! Hope this was worth the wait! Again, my apologies for taking as long as I have in getting this out. I'm glad I managed to get some energy in to me tonight to get this written. I also kind of felt that Ra's would have some kind of room that had news channels always on that helped to keep him and others informed of outside events that they could possibly use to their advantage. Recent reveals in this show have given me an excellent way to use that nicely here as well. And yikes, could you imagine how'd it be if Barry or another speedster was in the League or working for Waller!? Next up, Cisco informs Joe of the news concerning Wells. R and R!
