Barry was vibrating...
Oliver along with Cisco and Caitlin rushed towards Barry "What is happening to him?" Oliver yelled with wide eyes "Barry?!"
The boy didn't respond instead he started thrashing on the bed. He was breathing heavy and his clothes were drenched in sweat. Barry was vibrating so much that the bed was shaking with him.
"Hold him!" Caitlin raised her voice while she tried to get hold on his arms. Cisco grabbed Barry's legs but he was having trouble holding them "Is he getting his power's back?"
"I don't think so" Caitlin placed her hand on his chest "He needs to calm down...his heart rate is speeding up"
"Relax buddy...Come on take it easy" Cisco tried to coax his friend
Oliver cupped the boy's face who was still vibrating hard. He could feel the heat radiated from skin. It way way too warm "Barry..Barry stop! Listen to me kiddo...you need to stop"
Barry's mouth hung open as if letting out yet another painful scream. His jerked once and then finally his body gave out all the energy and he went limp.
"Barry?" Oliver shook his shoulder 'Barry!"
Caitlin caught Oliver's arm "He will be fine Oliver"
The vigilante glared at the doctor "Fine? Didn't you see what just happened? How can you say he is fine"
"I know what I am saying Oliver. I do know what is going on with him" said Caitlin
"You do?" Cisco asked his friend and got a nod in response "Cisco I have my medical bag in the car. Could you please get that for me. I will have to give him some high painkillers"
Cisco went to bring the bag while Oliver wiped Barry's face with a washcloth. The kid was still unconsious and it made him mad that he coudn't help his brother when he was in pain. Never in his life he felt this helpless before. He coudn't understand what should he do to take away the kid's pain.
Cisco came with a bag. Caitlin pulled out a syringe and injected Barry with high dose of painkillers "He should feel fine when he wakes up"
Oliver ran a hand on Barry's damp hair "What is happening to him?"
Caitlin looked at her friend "It has been almost a month since Barry has used his powers. What we saw now was the speed force that is still in his body"
Oliver was confused "I don't get it. What are you trying to say?"
"Speed force Oliver...from where he gets his powers" caitlin continued
Oliver still had questionable look on his face "So?"
This time Cisco spoke knowing what Caitlin meant "It means if Barry doesn't use his powers soon it might cause danger to his life"
"What?" Oliver raised his voice
"Oliver his mind might be one of fifteen year old but his body still has powers. It's trying to get out of his body. We all know how Barry always needed to burn extra energy...buy now since he is not using at all it's all bottled up inside him" Caitlin explained
Cisco chewed his bottom lip "That means the more he suppresses it the more it becomes violent"
"Can't we tell him that he has powers and make him use them" Oliver suggested
Caitlin shook her head "I told you before any pressure on his brain could cause permanent damage or even... After seeing todays episode we cannot take that risk. He will completely freak out. Our only chance is Barry remembers his present quickly. Don't think he candle another speed force attack"
The three adults standing in the room gazed at the boy. All feeling helpless at the situation. If they coudn't bring back the old Barry back then it was very much possible they were going to lose their friend forever. A voice broke them from their thoughts
"What's going on here? Barry?" Joe stood with concern colouring his face. He crossed the distance in quick steps and was near his son "Is he alright? Barr?"
Caitlin was the one who told Joe about Barry's condition. The shocked father swayed on his spot "No!" Oliver caught Joe by his arm and made him seat in a chair "Trust me Mr West...I won't let anything happen to Barry"
Joe didn't reply. His eyes were only focused on his son. Barry had suffered so much in his life. He had lost his mother at young age , his father went to prison , he was always bullied at school. Then came the one traumatic year in his life which is still following him. The dreadful day when he was struck by lightning that put him into coma for nine months. Being flash wasn't easy job either. He had been injured numerous number of times and almost lost his life in couple of cases. He sighed sadly hiding his tears
"Did you find anything about Kurtis?" asked Oliver. Joe blinked few times and answered "He was a drug dealer ten years back...but never got caught. My best guess is Barry was kidnapped by him and was forced to sell drugs"
Cisco waved his hand "What about Stephen? Any clue on him? Or why Barry knows sign language"
"No idea Cisco. It seems Barry is the only one who can tell who is this Stephen and about the sign language. I have send my officers searching for Kurtis. If he is still in this city then I will make sure he rots in prison for rest of his life" Joe's voice held anger and frustration
Caitlin again checked Barry and said he was fine for now and would wake up anytime. She and Cisco then left not wanting Barry to stress anymore as the boy still felt uncomfortable around them
Joe and Oliver were sitting on each side of the bed both holding Barry's one hand in them. It had been more than four hours since the boy had the speed force attack. He slept peacefully throughout the whole time
Oliver felt fingers twitch in his hand. He saw Barry's eyes were slowly fluttering open "Mr West...he is waking up"
Joe placed his free hand on Barry's arm "Hey Barr...how are you feeling"
Barry looked unfocused at first. He scanned the room and the saw Oliver was right beside him. He gave a tired smile. The vigilante returned his smile "Are you okay now? Any pain?"
Barry removed his hand from Oliver and signed "It hurt so much before...don't know why...I tried calling you...but too much pain...now it's gone"
Joe nudged at Barry's shoulder "It's going to be alright son. We are here for you". For first time in a month Barry smiled at Joe. He signed to his father "Thank you"
Joe let out a watery laugh and bend down to kiss his forehead "I love you so much son"
Barry signed to Oliver "I am hungry...give me something to eat"
Oliver laughed lightly thinking about old Barry and his appetite "Of course kiddo. I will bring some snacks for you"
"Why don't you sit with him Oliver. I will go get the snacks" Joe got up after Oliver gave a nod.
Barry eat the food and took another dose of his medicines. He fell asleep within seconds as the painkillers started doing its work. Oliver covered the boy and turned off the lights. He went to his room and kept his door half open in case he would hear Barry having a nightmare. The vigilante laid on his bed exhausted. He closed his eyes never knowing when the sleep claimed him.
4 AM MORNING
Barry tossed from one side to another. He was feeling restless. Something was wrong. It was like his senses were on red alert. Suddenly he felt someone's presence in his room. He slowly cracked his eyes open and saw a shadow hovering on him. Before Barry could make any move the man clamped his hand on his mouth and pulled out a knife. He held it at the boy's throat. The sharp knife digging painfully that drew a small line of blood. Barry's eyes widened with fear
The man smiled cunningly. His voice was full of malice as he spoke "You remember me don't you?"
We all know who is in Barry's room right? Still shout out with me... Please leave a review :-)))
