Hi guys sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have had two family members in the hospital and I have had coursework to do. Anyway here is another chapter, please let me know if you like it.
Barry once again woke from his unconscious sleep with a headache the size of a mountain and his eyes blurry and unfocused. He blinked a few times and slowly sat up wincing at the movement as his muscles had gone to sleep and locked a few hours before. Looking around he realised he recognised this place. The light wooden walls, the two giant outdated rugs that just looked right with the four red leather couches and the brown armchairs that were scattered around the room. The off cream curtains that hid three sets of big patio doors that led into a courtyard. The light laminate flooring that looked like it had only just been put down and polished but he new batter. Paintings that lined the walls and the large desk to his right.
"Look who is finally awake, guess we gave you a little too much… oh well" a voice said from behind him. He turned around to see a face he had not seen in 7 years and he hoped he never would. Barry was the last person to wake, everyone else was either sat on a couch, chair or the floor looking unhappy but unharmed.
"So what you been up to Sebastian, or should I say Barry. Oh don't tell me, I already know what you do in your free time" he said with a evil smile and the same glint in his eyes. Barry stood up and instantly moved towards Eddie, Iris, Cisco and Caitlin not aware of his actions.
"Don't worry so much Barry I wont tell them anything… yet. I wont hurt them yet either. It's too much fun watching everyone jump at the smallest sound" he laughed and turned round to face everyone who was watching and gave them a deep glare, their heads turned to the side or down not wanting to look him in the eye. The man chuckled again before sauntering off through the double doors.
"Who the hell is he and does he want?" Iris asked standing up and walking over to Barry.
"His name is Hunter Clarington, he was captain of our show choir group, The Warblers for a while before he was kicked off the team and I have no idea what he wants" Barry replied not wanting to get on Iris's bad side knowing she was already annoyed with him, he did not want to keep anything else from her.
"Where are we? I am guessing you have been here quite a few times before" Eddie asked slowly getting up from the floor using the back of one of the couches to help him stand.
"How do you figure that?" Barry asked in return confused about how he knew that he had been there before.
"I'm a detective Bar, I am not blind. Your comfortable here, you look relaxed and calm despite the situation, and the way you look at this place it's like you know it blindfolded" Eddie replied shrugging his shoulders with a smile on his face. It was nice for Eddie to see Barry somewhere totally new and yet knowing everything about it.
"This is Dalton my old high school, well one of the rooms in Dalton. Actually this room id where I spend most of my time through high school. This is the choir room. We did all our planning, meetings, rehearsals and decision making in this room" Everyone who hadn't been there before looked round the room in a new light, taking everything in, every small detail of the place that a lot of the people in the room grew up in.
"I do know it pretty well as do most of the other people in this room, but what I don't get is why he brought us here" Barry said pacing up and down the room with people watching like they would a tennis match. Up and down repeatedly until their necks started to hurt.
"Ok man stop with the pacing your giving me neck cramps" Cisco complained as he put his hands to the back of his neck and leaned his head back onto the wall. At that moment the doors burst open and Hunter strolled back into the room followed by a teenager.
"Oh My God" Iris gasped as she covered her mouth and took in the appearance of the teenager.
"Whats the matter surprised to see me?" the boy smiled clasping his hands in front of him and rocking back on his heels.
"What are you doing here?" she asked walking up to him and putting her hands on her hips like an angry mother would.
"What does it look like? I am keeping people prisoner in a school" he replied walking closer to her with an evil smile on his face.
"Why?" Iris couldn't understand why he was doing this and what he would get out of it.
"Because I can and because I want everyone to know Barry Allen's secrets" he said stopping just in front of her still smiling like he had done something great.
"What do you mean, what secrets?" she asked crossing her arms across her chest and furrowing her eyebrows in confusion. The boy turned to Barry and held out his arms like a child would do if pretending to fly.
"You want to tell them Barry or should I?" the teen asked Barry who was slowly inching towards them.
"What secrets are you talking about?" Barry asked arching one eyebrow wanting to know just how much the teenager knew.
"You know exactly which one I mean" he said his eyes once again glinting in excitement and evil knowing he was about to reveal Barry's biggest secret to a room full of people including his boyfriend and best friends. Barry knew exactly which secret the teenager was talking about and had to admit that he was scared. Not scared of the boy or Hunter but scared that Iris and Eddie were going to find out who he was and he didn't know how they would react.
"I will let you sit on your decision for a while. Two hours to be precise, then I will be back to tell everyone" the boy said before nodding at Hunter and they both exited the room once again leaving Barry in a room with his old class mates and friends. Barry looked around the room and everyone either looked confused or scared, some looked both.
"I have been keeping a secret from you guys since I woke up from being hit by lightning. At first I wanted to tell you so bad because Iris you are my best friend, you have been since I was young. You are practically my sister but then things started getting dangerous and I knew that I couldn't tell you because that would put you in even more danger and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to you and I couldn't stop it. Eddie I know that this relationship is new and I should have told you sooner than this so you knew what you were getting into but I'm afraid you will hate me and leave me" Barry explained once again pacing up and down the room waving his arms around stopping every so often to look at the person he was talking to but then continued to pace.
"Ok Barry, stop. I am not going to be mad at you and I am not going to leave you, neither is Iris. We would rather hear it from you than those two" Eddie walked up to Barry and interlocked their hands giving them a light squeeze and a reassuring smile letting him know that everything he just said was true. Barry was conflicted, on one hand he really wanted to tell them the truth but on the other hand this was a big secret and he didn't know how they would react even thoe Eddie just told him that they wouldn't hate him.
"I will tell you, but not here, not like this. Lets try and get out of here first. If that does not work then I will tell you. I promise" he said looking Eddie in the eye then looking over to Iris and smiling sadly. He caught Cisco and caitlin's eye and then nodded in encouragement.
Barry walked up to the door dragging Eddie along with him. He grabbed the handle and pulled, expecting them to stay closed but instead they creak open slowly. Barry peaked his head around the door looking left and right, making sure that there was nobody inside before he opened the door all the way and stepped out still holding onto Eddie's hand. Everyone filed out of the room and into the hallway. They followed Barry down the hall and up the stairs with no complications until they reached the second corner then something barrelled into them, sending them all flying back into the wall then crashing to the floor in one big pile. One by one they found themselves outside in the courtyard facing the building with Barry and Hunter on the roof.
Hunter had Barry by the neck on the top of the building looking towards the people on the ground.
"Stay still and don't try to run or I will kill those who do" Hunter boomed to the people looking up at them. Everyone did as he said, they did not dare move knowing that he was serious and that he would do exactly what he said.
"I got bored of waiting so I am just going to show you one of the many things this young man can do" he said as he pushed Barry a little closer to the edge looking over and whistling before smiling again and hanging Barry over the edge.
Everyone below gasped and screamed in shock as they saw Barry's feet dangling over the edge. Hunter counted down from Three and when he got to one he released his grip on Barry's neck sending him hurtling to the ground landing with a sickening crack on the pebbles. Barry groaned and raised to his hands and knees crying out in pain then he put his right hand flat on the floor.
Looking at it he realised that his wrist hand popped out of the socket as he landed on it and some of his fingers had broken. He wondered how he was going to explain this one.
"Oh My God, Barry" Eddie Caitlin shouted running over to him with Iris and Cisco in tow. Caitlin coughed down next to Barry and took hid injured hand gently in hers hearing him whimper when she did so.
"I am going to have to put your wrist back in place and place your fingers in the right place before they heal the wrong way because then I will have to break them again to set them right" Caitlin said looking at Barry with a sorry expression on her face that he had seen many times before when treating his injuries.
"I know, just do longer you wait, the more it will hurt" he said in reply grabbing Eddie's hand and holding it tight while Caitlin put her hand on his palm and the other just above his wrist.
Barry took a deep breath to calm himself before he felt a burning pain and a loud pop. He let his breath out knowing most of the pain was over but he still had a little to go. Caitlin pressed her fingers under his knuckles making sure they were all the the right position.
"Ok your all set just keep pressure off it for at least half an hour" she said releasing his hand and smiling at him.
"What? Half an hour. He had a dislocated wrist and at least three fingers, he shouldn't be putting any pressure on it for at least a week" Eddie said looking at Caitlin like she had grown another head.
"I heal fast, It's part of the secret I am going to tell you later. I am fine, really" Barry said standing up and facing the building only to find Hunter gone and the rooftop empty. The only question was, where had he gone and how far was he going to go to expose his secrets?
Sorry this chapter is a little short as I said before I have been a little busy but I hope you like it. Please review and let me know what you think.
