Hi friends! Back with next chapter! Thank you so much for reading and leaving reviews. A big thanks for favourite and following this fic! Sorry for mistakes!
Enjoy :-)))
Joe looked down from the helicopter he was currently sitting on. His eyes searching for any signs that would lead him to his son. After they got the news that Gabriel was on the same island where Barry and Oliver's jet had crashed, his worry had doubled for their safety. Barry was always a bit reckless and acted on instant without thinking about the consequences and that's what worried Joe the most. His son also never thought about his safety. After becoming flash, Barry always acted as self sacrificing hero. A little hope was still there because Oliver was with him. Atleast he would stop Barry from taking any rash decision and keep him safe.
Joe along with two other officers were almost over the island. The man who flew the chopper yelled at Joe "Sir! We are five minutes away from the island" Joe nodded and asked his officers to keep their eyes open and try to locate the lost ones
IN THE WOODS
Oliver ate few mulberries when Barry was sleeping. He had to retain his strength. Two of them starving to death was not an option. He let Barry sleep for half an hour before the vigilante woke him up again who mumbled something like 'Joe...let me sleep...it's Iris turn to take the garbage out" Oliver chuckled "Barry!" The boy jerked awake and looked at his surroundings "We are still here?"
"Welcome back" said Oliver and Barry closed his eyes again "Are they even looking for us?" The older man gave a pat on his arm "I am sure everybody would have known by now that we didn't make it to Costa Rica. Don't loose hope. Who knows they might be on their way...Joe Diggle or maybe Felicity?"
Barry opened his eyes and let out a small laugh "Felicity? Here? Just admit you miss your girlfriend"
Oliver shook his head smiling "Look, I am going to search something for you to eat. You can't go much longer without food" Barry sighed and nodded "Go. I will be fine" Oliver stood and looked around. He didn't want to leave the kid alone because he knew this time it will take more than ten minutes to come back with some food, that is if he finds other than mulberries. He waved awkwardly and walked away from Barry "Stay safe. I will be back soon"
"You too" Barry shifted in more comfortable position and closed his eyes. Though he hadn't done anything the hero still felt exhausted and fell into deep slumber.
AFTER SOMETIME
"Wake up! Hey you...wake up!" Barry felt someone was roughly shaking his shoulder. He frowned and tried to push the hand away but then his wrist was held tightly and he was hauled up "What the hell Oliver?" Barry's heart sank in to his stomach. He gulped down the building fear as the person standing was not Oliver but three men with guns "Ah..who...who are you?"
Barry saw two men moving aside so he could see a figure walking straight to him. The first word popped in Barry's mind was danger. The man was nearly six foot tall with broad shoulders. He was bald and had short beard on his face but what scared Barry most was his eyes which were cold as ice. He could see only death in them.
Wait a minute
Barry's eyes widened when he realised who the man was. How could he forget those merciless eyes that Oliver had shown him in his computer. He was the reason they were stranded in this stupid mulberry filled island. The man was none other than Gabriel. They were suppose to catch the criminal but right now the situation looked like the other way around
The man slowly walked towards him and pointed the gun at him "Where is your partner kid? Or is he your brother?" Barry tried not to show his fear "Wh...Who? There is no one with me" he didn't want them to know about Oliver. If they both get caught then who will save them.
A right hand slap to his face was the effect of his answer. Barry felt his lip split open and he tasted blood "Don't lie to me. I saw there were two of you!" yelled the criminal. As if on cue Barry saw Oliver was walking in his direction but the older man didn't seem to see Gabriel. Barry thought he had to warn him or else they will catch him too. He yelled loud enough to make sure Oliver heard him "I AM NOT LYING! I AM ALONE!"
Oliver halted his steps and saw with wide eyes that Barry was surrounded by three men with guns and one tall man whom he coudn't see from his spot was yelling at his friend. He hid himself behind a thick bush "Oh Barry...what have you gotten into" The vigilante saw the man give a slap to Barry which made his blood boil.
Barry caught his aching cheek "Ok fine! There were two of us but he left me okay! He said I was becoming a burden" he pointed at his wound and lied hoping Gabriel will believe him. He saw the goon eyeing his injured leg and the next second an explosive pain erupted in his ankle when the leader slammed his boot on the ankle "This burden?" said Gabriel in his cold voice. The boy let out an ear spitting scream that shook Oliver's heart. He coudn't let Barry get more hurt than he already was "STOP! Stop hurting him!"
Oliver came out of the bush and ran towards Barry. He held the hero in his arms trying to calm his ragging breaths "Are you crazy! What did you do?" he glared at the man. Barry was shaking with pain, his eyes were pinched close but that didn't stop the tears falling
Gabriel gave a sadistic smile "It works everytime. Hurt one and another becomes emotional fool" Oliver frowned and realised who he was. He opened his mouth to expose his identity but then went against the idea. He wanted to catch the criminal and drag him to Starling City prison but then he thought about his options.
Barry was hurt
They didn't have any weapons
Barry was hurt
They were clearly outnumbered
Barry was hurt
They were physically weak and had no strength to fight against them
Barry was hurt
Oliver decided to remain quite and act as tourists. He needed right time and place to capture Gabriel. This coudn't be done now specially when Barry was hurt "Look we...we are just tourist...our jet got crashed in the storm...please we mean no harm" the older man looked down at Barry silently asking him to play along with his lie
Barry understood what Oliver was doing "My..my brother is not lying..we are just tourist" the older man was shocked when Barry called him brother but he instantly changed his expression and nodded "Let us go"
Gabriel scoffed "Do you really think I will let you go after you stepped in my land?" Before Oliver could say anything a distant sound of chopper was heard. Barry turned his head towards the sound and made a mistake of speaking out loud "It might be for us!"
Gabriel was quick to react. He motioned to his men who immediately seized the two boys within seconds. Oliver struggled "Hey what are you doing? Let go!" Barry gasped when he was made to stand, still feeling effect of Gabriel's boot. He feebly tried to free himself but frozed when suddenly a cold metal gun was pointed at his side temple
"Sshh! Make one sound and the kid over here will get his brains blown off and if you make a sound your brother will be first one to die" Gabriel hissed at Oliver and then at Barry. The vigilante had no choice but to remain silent. The chopper was now almost above them but neither Oliver or Barry could cry out for help.
Barry's eyes glistened with tears. Help had arrived but they coudn't reach to it. They were suppose to get out of this island not dig their grave. He saw with blurry vision how after few seconds of hovering the chopper disappeared into opposite direction.
Barry then heard a loud thud. He turned to see Oliver was on the ground unconscious. Before the hero could yell out his name, the butt of the gun was slammed on his head. A hot searing pain surged through his brain and Barry swayed on his spot. Few seconds later he was lying beside Oliver.
They are in trouuuuuble! Please do tell how was it and leave a review :-)))
