Hi friends. Back with my new chapter. Sorry for any mistakes!
Enjoy :-)))
"Oliver?"
Oliver's eyes widened matching with Joe's. They shared a look. A look which held happiness. Barry was talking and he recognised them. It was all over now.
Barry was still on the floor, eyes darting from his father to his friend "Ah guys...what's going on?" he tried to sit up but fell on his back "Aawww...Oh my God...why does it feel like I have been hit by a truck?"
Joe and Oliver together hauled Barry up "Take it easy son! You are injured" Joe's voice was soft and caring
Barry looked down and saw his wrist was bleeding and there was stinking pain in his leg. He frowned "What happened? How did I get hurt in my room?"
Oliver pulled out his cell and called Caitlin "Miss Snow...Come at Barry's immediately" he then fished his hankerchief and pressed on the wound behind Barry's head which made Barry hiss "Easy Ollie!"
Oliver smiled at the nick name "Caitlin is on her way" he told Joe "I think you should call the cops and get him out of here" Oliver pointed at Kurtis
It was now Barry noticed that someone else was also in the room. He blinked his eyes and saw a old man lying on the floor. It didn't take long for Barry to recognise the man. All the colour drained from his face as he felt numb from inside. His breathing became fast. Barry could feel dark spots dancing infront of his eyes. What was he doing here? How did he know I live here? With much difficulty he spoke in shaky voice "Is...Is that...Kurtis?"
Joe was shocked as he looked at the fallen man. His features did match the ones they had in criminal records. It was now drawn to him that Barry's attacker was his kidnapper when he fifteen. How did he know about Barry? Why try to kill him after so many years?The matter was much deeper than he thought
Oliver saw Barry was panicking after seeing Kurtis. There were so many questions bubbling in his mind but right now he needed to calm the boy down "Hey...Barry calm down..you are okay"
Barry didn't seem to listen. His mind was reliving that one year which he had to suffer because of Kurtis. He started vibrating with fear and tried taking huge gulps of air "He...He will...Joe..Oliver..He will..."
Joe raised his voice "Oliver..Get Barry out of this room. I will call the cops and make sure he gets arrested"
Oliver quickly nodded and pulled the shaking speedster with him "Come on Barry...let's go in other room okay...you will feel better"
Barry's eyes were never leaving Kurtis's body "But..." Oliver took the distress boy's face in his hands "Don't look at him! Just keep walking okay..you are fine...he is not going to hurt you" Barry took a step and lost his balance as the pain doubled in his leg "Aaah"
Oliver hooked an arm around his shoulder and other tightened at Barry's waist "Hold on" he pulled the boy with him out of the room and then made the kid sit in his bed. The vigilante searched for something that could stop the bleeding until Caitlin arrived. Barry was still breathing hard. A sudden thought crossed his mind "Joe!" he again tried to get from the bed "Oliver...we can't leave Joe with him...he will...hurt him..I have to go"
Oliver rushed out of the bathroom with small towels "Barry! Don't get up" his words were unheard as the boy was still freaking out in front of him
Caitlin arrived with Cisco in tow "What is going on in here?"
Barry in his panic state failed to notice their friends. He kept struggling in Oliver's hold "Let go...Let me help Joe...he will hurt him...just like Stephen"
Oliver blocked his path "No kiddo! Nothing is going to happen...Joe is safe and so are you...please calm down"
The two friends looked at each other in shock "He can talk? How?" asked Cisco who came near the struggling pair "Barry?"
"Did he hurt himself again?" Caitlin stood next to Cisco
Barry again ignored both of his friend's voice but his attempts of freeing himself were growing weaker. The blood loss and panic attack had drained all energy from him. The sudden rush of speed force in his body was also overwhelming his mind. He slowly slumped forward into Oliver's arms
Oliver grabbed the boy in to a hug "Ssshh it's okay...calm down Barry...everything is okay.." he rubbed his back and murmured soft words until he felt the kid grew heavy in his hold. Finally Barry was out. Cisco then helped him lay back on the bed where Caitlin attended his injuries
On the next room Joe tied Kurtis with two ties and called the cops. His heart broke hearing the pleas of his son in the next room. He looked at Kurtis with hate and anger. This was the man who tormented Barry for one year. This was the man whom Barry fears so much. He fisted his hand "You will pay for what you did to my son. I will make sure you rot in prison for rest of your life"
After few minutes sirens were heard. Kurtis had regained concious. He fought widly against the hold of the policemen and kept giving threats that he will be back to finish what he started. Joe made sure he was securely handcuffed and pushed him out of his house
Oliver explained the two friends how close they had been on losing the boy. Caitlin patched up Barry the best she could do with the medical kit she had bought along with her "He is healing on its own. His powers are back"
Cisco and Caitlin watched as Oliver ran his hand over Barry's hair "I am glad its over now"
Joe came into the room "How is he?"
"He is healing Joe...his powers are back" Caitlin smiled at the worried father
Joe sighed in relief "They just took Kurtis away"
"I can't believe he had the nerve to come here" Cisco's eyes were on his friend.
A small moan came from the bed. Barry grunted and slowly blinked his eyes open "Joe.."
Joe quickly stood near him "I am here son. You are okay...everything is okay"
"Kurtis?"
Oliver placed his hand on the boy's shoulder "He is been arrested Barry. You just rest okay" Barry saw his friends standing near the bed "What are you guys doing here?"
"It's so good to hear your voice man" Cisco laughed lightly. Caitlin nodded smiling "How are you feeling?
Barry winced when he tried to move "It still hurts... but I will be fine"
"How much do you remember Barry?" the doctor asked carefully not to agitate his friend
Barry thought for a moment. All the memories came flooding into his mind. The year in the which he was kidnapped. What happened in that year. His latest kidnapping. The days he spend with Oliver and today when Kurtis was about to kill him. He shuddered thinking if Oliver hadn't come then he would have been dead right now. He looked at Oliver "Can you help me... I want to sit" Joe and Oliver helped him sit upright. All eyes were on Barry "You all probably...want to know about Kurtis right?"
Cisco raised his hand "Before Kurtis we want to know who is Stephen? You kept saying Oliver was Stephen. Why? And how do you know sign language?"
Barry again looked at Oliver, his eyes became wet with tears. Oliver was worried at Barry's reaction "What is it Barry?"
Barry wiped his tears with his sleeves "I...I want to show you all something...can we go at the backyard"
Joe and others were confused at Barry's sudden request "Backyard?"
Barry nodded "Please"
Oliver and Cisco helped Barry up hooking each arm around their shoulder. They reached the backyard of the house and made Barry sit on the bench "Cisco can you dig that part near the rose pot" he pointed at the area
"Sure..ah Joe? Cisco was asking for some kind of tool to dig the hole. Joe handed him a crowbar and Cisco started to dig
After digging few inches Cisco found a small box. He pulled out the box and handed it to Barry. All awaited anxiously to see what was in that box.
Barry opened the box with shaky hands and pulled out a small picture. He handed it to Oliver. The vigilante's eyes went wide "Barry...this..how can it be possible?"
Joe took the picture from Oliver. His hand went to his forehead "Jesus...he looks just like you Oliver...only younger form of you"
Cisco and Caitlin were next "Is he Stephen?" asked Cisco who was equally baffled
Barry nodded "He was...with me when I was kidnapped..he..he is Kurtis's son"
"What!?"
Barry continued with heavy voice "I...he and Ollie.." tears fell down from his eyes
Oliver squeezed the kid's shoulder in comforting manner "Where is he now Barry?"
Barry hicupped "He is dead...because of me... I killed him"
