Barry's Pov
So now that your all caught up well from me being in a coma, lets just go back a year ago. See the thing is at the age of 25 I never expected to find the woman I loved so much or even grow up with her and every be married before i was that age.
(August 3rd, 2014)
Lu stood in the kitchen making Tequila Sunrises for the BBQ, I stood in the doorway watching Lu as she make them, still suprised that I married a beautiful woman like her 'So are you going to stand there or give me a hand?' Lu said smiling at me I walked over to her wrapping my arms around her waist 'Stop trying to distract me, we have guests outside.' I kissed her behind the ear and whispered 'So who is coming?'
Lu finished the cocktails, 'Well Uncle Joe and Iris are outside, Chyre is coming, Singh and his boyfriend Rob. that's from your work, Caitlin Snow and Ronnie Raymond they are engaged Cisco Ramon who you possibly would get along with and...' I said 'Who is it?' It's not Hartley Rathaway.' Lu said with a disgusted face 'God no, he's an asshole most of the time. I don't even know why Dr. Wells hired him but it is Harrison Wells who is coming.' All thoughts went out the window as I can imagine my face lighting up like a kid on Christmas day, 'The Harrison Wells is coming here.' I said shocked 'To our house.' Lu said 'Yes, now stop fangirling or i'll get the lightsaber and swat you with it.'
I smirked 'So what are your friends from STAR Labs like and how come i haven't met them.' Lu said 'Well you never asked about them you only asked about Harrison and this is the first social event we have held since we got married. Caitlin Snow, a excellent Doctor of medicine my best friend/sister, Ronnie Raymond the funniest guy you will ever meet and one hell of a mechanical engineer also my brother, Cisco Ramon lives life his own way he's like you in a way loves Marvel a great friend also loves anything to do with Sci-fi he's my brother as well and Harrison Wells an excellent mentor understands if i am going to be late because of you but i always stop by Jitters for his favourite coffee.'
Lu stepped outside to put the drinks on the table, Joe was getting the barbecue ready while Iris and Lu sat talking almost wishing I could here what they were saying. But the doorbell broke me out of my thoughts, opening the door Chyre stepped in he said 'Finally you throw something good Barry here a bottle of the best red I had in the cupboard.' He passed me a bottle of red wine placing it in on the table in the kitchen as Captain Singh walked in with his boyfriend Rob I greeted them and they walked out to the back Singh asked me to call him Dave. then the door bell rang 10 minutes later and I was greeted by four people, a greying young yet old man with glasses and blue eyes said 'Hello, You must be Barry Allen. Lu speaks highly of you, oh where are my manners. My name is Harrison Wells. is everyone outback.' I could only nod as he went to the back garden, 'Oh man that's the first time I've seen someone just go blank.' a Hispanic man with shoulder length hair said 'I'm Cisco Ramon, your Barry right. Your totally fangirling internally.' 'W..h..at ..Makes ...you..say.. that?' I stutter Cisco said 'You and me are going to get on quite well, do you like Star Wars?' 'Really, are freaking kidding me,' I said 'I watched them while growing up the prequels were a bit of a let down but how they found out how Anakin Skywalker had the force was good, the last one Return of the Jedi the ending could have been different like Vader didn't have to die the could have taken him and like rebuilt his human body turn him back into Anakin.'
Cisco walked outside muttering how he loved what i was into, a tall woman even in heel managed to be taller than me she said 'I'm Caitlin Snow but everyone calls me Cait and this is Ronnie thank you for inviting us and it's nice to meet Lu's husband.' Ronnie grinned ear to ear and said 'So your Lu's husband got any embarrassing stories I can here to tease Lu about.' Cait rolled her eyes and dragged Ronnie away with him shouting 'What did I do?'. I chuckled at the sight, wondering outside to see everyone enjoying themselves. Lu said 'Ronnie, don't you dare tell that story or I'll tell Cait why you skipped work one morning.' Cait frowned 'Ronnie, what did you do?'
Ronnie laughed nervously 'It's nothing bad, I just wen to spy on Mercury Labs. To see what projects they were building.' Cait hit his arm and said 'Next time you tell me.' and she kissed him sweetly. Iris and Cisco were having a good time talking to each other just getting to know each other Lu moved along to Singh Rob, Joe and Chyre talking to them and I found my self talking to Harrison Wells it was a dream come true. Looking over at Lu she glanced at me I mouthed 'Thank you.' She mouthed back 'Your welcome.'
(Present time)
So that was one of my fond memories of the summer before the whole struck by lightening happened and ending up in a coma for what like nine months, feels like I time traveled. Except, I'm not a Time Lord or own a TARDIS or even a Fez. I need to buy a Fez I'll ask Lu about one, so where was I, ah yes.
So as you herd our origin see how we end up as the flash and Cosmic dreamer.
3rd person Pov
Cisco and Cait ran over to Barry as he said 'Where am I?' very disorientated, Cait said 'He's up.' Cisco spoke over the intercom 'Dr. Wells, get down to the Cortex, like right now.' Cisco rush over to help Barry calm down, Cait said 'Over 110. Pulse 120. Pupils equally reactive to light.' while shining a light in his eyes 'Look at me. Look at me.' Cisco held a hand on Barry's bare shoulder and said 'Hey hey. Oh,oh, relax. Everything's ok, man. You're at STAR Labs.' 'STAR Labs?' Barry questioned 'Wait your Cisco Ramon?' Cisco said 'Yes, we met the year previously. She's Cait or Dr. Snow you also met her last year.' Cait held a plastic tube up to him and said 'I need you to urinate into this.'
Cisco took it off her, Barry felt slightly embarrassed Cisco added 'Not right now.' Barry said confused 'What, what is happening? What's going on?' As he got up off the cot and looked at himself in the mirror looking at his abdomen. Cisco said calmly 'You were struck by lightening, dude.' Dr. Wells arrived in the cortex on his wheelchair, Barry said 'Wh, lightening gave me abs?' Cait said with a serious look, 'Your muscles should be atrophied, but instead they're in a chronic and unexplained state o f cellular regeneration.' Cisco gestured for Barry to sit on the edge of the cot he said' Come here, have a seat. You were in a coma.' 'For how long?' Barry asked uncertain of the answer he would get, 'Nine months.' Barry turned around to see Wells smiling at him 'Welcome back to the land of the living, Mr Allen. We have a lot to discuss.' Barry put on a hoodie with the STAR Labs logo on and left with Dr. Wells. while wondering the halls while Wells shows Barry the damaged cause by the explosion of the accelerator Barry said 'This is all surreal, this time last I jst met you for a brief few hours and now I'm standing face to face with you. Dr. Wells, I have always wanted to meet you.' Wells chuckled 'Yeah? Well, you certainly went to a great length to to do it. Star Labs has not been operational since FEMA categorized us as a class 4 hazardous location many more were injured. Myself amongst them and your wife Lu was as well.' Barry said 'What wait Lu what happened to her? What happened?'
Wells smiled 'Lu is fine she was in a coma much like yourself but woke five months ago with some facial changes ones that you will see when you see her. She took your job at CCPD to stop them from hiring someone new so that if you ever did wake up you had a job to go back to.' Barry said 'So what happened nine months ago?' Wells said ' Nine months ago, the particle accelerator went online, exactly as planned. For forty-five minutes I had achieved my life's dream and then, then there was an anomaly. The electron volts became unmeasurable, the ring under us popped, energy from that detonation was thrown into the sky, and that, in turn seeded a storm-cloud…' Barry continued 'That created a lightening bolt that struck me.' Wells said 'Not just you, Mr Allen. That night Lu was struck by lightening. I was recovering myself, when I heard about you and Lu. The hospital was undergoing unexplained power outages every time you were going into cardiac arrest, which was, actually a misdiagnosis, because you see, you weren't flat-lining, Barry, your heartbeat was moving too fast for the EKG to register it but Lu was close to flat-lining but her heart was being too slow for the EKG to register it. Now, I'm not the most popular person in town these days but, Detective West and his daughter gave me permission to bring you both here, where we were able to stabilize both of you.'
Barry said 'Iris?' Well said 'Iris, yes. She came by to see you both quite often, and was quite shocked by Lu's sudden changes.' They went back to the cortex, Cait said 'Iris talks a lot unlike Lu she just cherished the time she had with you.' Barry smiled softy as Cisco said 'Also, she's hot.' Cait slapped his arm, and said 'Behave.' Cisco said 'I thought that was Lu's job to tell me what to do.' Barry said suddenly 'I need to go.' Thinking of just seeing L:u and wondering how much she had changed, Cait said 'No, you can't.' Wells said 'Caitlin's right, now that you're awake; we need to do more tests. You're still going through changes, there's so much that we don't know.' 'I'm fine really. I feel normal. Thank you for saving my life.' Barry pleaded, Cait questioned 'Really?' Barry asked 'Can I keep the sweatshirt?' Wells laughed 'Yeah, keep the sweatshirt.' Barry nodded then left, 'Fifty bucks says he's back in an hour with power's like Lu.' Wells said 'I will hold you to that Cisco.' Wells wheeled himself out, Cisco said 'Did I just make a bet?'
The cab finally stopped outside Jitters, throwing a couple of bills at the driver he got out, walking inside he saw Iris. Iris saw Barry and had tears in her eyes she literally jumped into his arms and said 'Oh my God! You're awake! Why didn't STAR Labs call us? Does Lu know?' Barry laughed ' I just woke up and no she doesn't.' Iris joked 'Should you even be on your feet?' 'Iris, I'm I'm ok.' He reasurred her, Iris rambled 'I watch you die Barry and Lu. You kept dying and your heart kept stopping.' Iris looked behind Barry as a waitress tripped over and everything just seemed to slow down for Barry. As he watched slowly as the world slowed down around his as if he was watching his life through a Slo-mo camera. the waitress slowly drops a tray to the floor while everything that was on the tray smashed.
It was only for a moment before everything speed up, 'Oops.' the waitress said Iris helped her up and said 'Tracy, are you alright?' Tracy said 'Yeah, I got it.' Tracy smiled at herself as she pick up the tray and headed behind the counter, Iris said 'My Dad and Lu are going to be so happy to see you. Let me get my stuff, ok? I'll be right back meet me outside.' Barry slowly made his way outside of Jitters, having an internal battle of deciding if he should go back to STAR Labs or go to the CCPD with Iris. Broke out of his thoughts Iris had her coat on and bag in hand Barry said forgetting about what had happened before 'Ready to go?' Walking not that far to CCPD they took the elevator to the top floor walking out into the reception, they saw Joe at his desk looking at the last cases that Lu had finished for him which saved a lot of time Eddie said to him 'So you going up to the Lab later?' Joe raised an eyebrow and said 'Partner, you better not be thinking about dating my daughter she's married.' Eddie choked on his coffee, 'No, Joe.' Eddie explained he looked at Iris and Barry Allen who was awake 'I just thought that you might want to go for lunch with Lu. Joe turn around.'
Joe turned around to see Iris and Barry, he brought Barry in for a hug and said 'Oh, you scared the hell out of us, kid.' A policeman Barry knew from his childhood Officer Roberts said 'Yeah, that was quite a nap you took there, baby-face. And you still look twelve.' Joe said as Roberts walked away, 'You look ok, Are you really?' Barry said 'Yeah, Ermm... where's Lu?' A policewoman interrupted them and said 'Detective West, we've got a 5-50 in progress at Gold City Bank. Two dead. Storm's really picking up on the south side.' Joe put on his jacket and picked up his gun then said 'Grab your rain gear. I'm sorry, Barry, I gotta run. Lu's upstairs, in the lab.' Barry asked 'Do you need my help?' Joe said 'No, you take it easy. There'll be plenty for you to do once you've settled in. Let's go partner.' Eddie walked back in throwing his paper cup in the bin while grabbing his coat he said 'Hey, Allen. Glad to see you.' Barry said 'Thanks, Eddie.' Eddie walked away and joined Joe an Inspector was to see Iris.
Barry's world slows down again watching a handcuffed man shouting itching for the inspectors gun in a split second Barry was over by the guy who itched for them gun pushing him back and moving the gun from his nearby possession. With no one realising what had happened unknown to Barry, Lu sat upstairs meditating, feeling the flow of life energy around her that ran though everyone she felt a small backlash of someone coming into powers unaware that is was Barry. halting her meditation she looked at the board Barry set up with her fingers on the necklaces on which were Barry's and Lu's mother's she ran a hand through her hair sighing she turned back to the work she was working on previously. Barry stepped into his lab seeing nothing out of place except a new skyline and a stack of work completed. He saw a mass of very dark pink hair with a very toned body wearing three inch black and silver heels which Barry instantly recognized as as Lu's shoes. Barry called out 'Lu?' Lu whipped around dropping the file causing the paper to drop everywhere.
Lu said 'Bare, your awake. Why didn't Cait or Cisco call?' With tears in her eyes, Barry brought her close and said 'All that matters is that I am here right now and I love you.' Lu said 'I love you too, Bare.' Pulling each other further into the embrace, their eyes met each other sparkling green to deep pink. Moving their head closer and they kissed for the first time in over nine months at that point nothing matter except them all was right in their own little universe just enjoying being in each others embrace.
After they let go of each other, Lu said 'Bare, what wrong?' Barry said 'Why would anything be wrong?' nervously looking at the ground rubbing his hands together. 'Your doing that thing when sometime is bothering you, looking at the ground and rubbing your hand together.' Lu said 'Now look at me.' Barry looked Lu in the eye and as Lu looked into his eyes yellow lightening past over them in a flash, he then zoomed over to the other side of the lab his had was vibrating. Barry said 'What's happening to me?' with fear in his eyes, he zoomed out of the room leavings a trail of flying paper everywhere. Iris came in concerned 'Hey, where's Barry?' Lu said 'He stepped outside to get some air. Dad's house tonight dinner.' Iris smiled 'I have to get back to work, see you and Barry at Dad's tonight.'
As Iris went back to work Lu gathered her work up on the desk leaving it there for someone to collect she grabbed her bag and arrived out side to see Barry climbing out the back of a van with laundry saying 'Awesome,' to himself. He walked to Lu and said 'Can we go back to STAR Labs?' Lu said 'Yeah, what just happened?' Barry said 'I think I may have super speed. Hey, where's your car?' Lu said 'I haven't used it since the night of the accident, it's not that, I'm scared. Just some new things have come to light which mean I don't need to use the car.' Barry looked at Lu and said 'What happened to you that night?' feeling scared that she had been hurt, Lu grabbed Barry's arm leading him into the alley his was in that was messed up she said 'Look at the alley the way you messed it up.' Kneeling down on the ground she placed a hand on the ground and a pink ripple escaped her hand, everything went back into place she stood up dusting herself off. Barry was starstruck, he said slowly 'Can you do anything else?' Lu said 'And more.' she wrapped her arms around Barry's waist as a pink glow spread around the both of them and they were floating up towards the sky.
Barry said 'Whoa, what's going on?' Lu said 'We are flying to STAR Labs.' Barry said 'Are people going to notice that we are flying?' Lu smiled 'I'll tell you about that when we are at STAR Labs.' An hour later at Ferris Air Strip with everything set up from the last time they were there five months ago, Barry stepped out of the van in the same outfit Lu was in, Cait said to Wells 'You don't really believe he can run that fast, do you?' Wells said 'Well, I believe anything is possible, and in a few minutes, maybe you will too. After all look at Lu, she has powers. So, why not Mr Allen.' Cisco walked up to Barry and he asked, 'How does it fit?' Barry moved his stiff muscles as it felt like he was wearing a very tight glove, he said 'It's a little snug.' Cisco smirked 'At least you'll be moving so fast, no one will see you. See, you thought the world was slowing down, it wasn't. You were moving so fast, it only looked like everyone else was standing still. Doctor Wells will be monitoring your energy output, and Caitlin your vitals. Lu is making sure that you don't hurt yourself.' Barry asked 'What do you do?'
Cisco smiled and his eyes lit up 'I make the toys, man. Check it. This, is a two-way headset with a camera I modified. Typically designed to combat battlefield impulse noise, or in your case, potential sonic booms. Which would be awesome.' Cait and Lu walked over Cait said forcefully 'What?' Barry said shaking his head 'Nothing. I just noticed you don't smile too much.' Cait said 'My once promising career in bio-engineering is over. My boss is in a wheelchair for life. My best friend and sister was in a coma for four months and comes out with life force manipulation powers that she didn't ask for. The explosion that put you in a coma, also killed my fiancé which is also who Lu considers her brother. So this blank expression kinda feels like the way to go.' Wells said 'Mr. Allen, while I am extremely eager to determine your full range of abilities, I do caution restraint.' Barry nodded, Wells continued 'Lu, if you could before we see this explain to your husband your powers.' Lu got out gracefully out of her deckchair, standing in front of the van creating a stairway of energy, walking up them she jumped off the last one landing right next top Barry who looked awestruck.
Cisco said 'That was awesome.' Lu said 'I can manipulate energy, but not just any energy. Life energy that runs through everything humans, earth, you and the universe. I can bend it to my will, I can can call upon the dead with a simple thought from the other side they are solid people but the can't stay long. put it this way I could shape earth to what I want but if I was to unleash my full power I would lose my humanity. Which is something I do not want to do.' Cisco said 'Let's have a race between Lu and Barry, flight verses speed, an experiment.' Barry gets into position, a pink glow encompasses Lu, Barry ran leaving a red streak, Lu took off leaving a magenta streak behind from flying so fast she created a sonic boom, from speeding up which knocked Cisco on his ass.
Barry was enjoying the wind in his face and enjoying the speed, a magenta streak passed him he tried to speed up but looking in the magenta streak he began to have a flashback to the night when he was 11,
(flashback)
A tornado of red and yellow lightening surrounded Nora and Natasha, 11 year old Barry seen a humanoid figure amongst the lightening. Barry shouted 'Mom,' Nat said 'Barry, run. Just run!' Barry shouted again 'Mom.' Nora shouted 'Don't let him touch you, Barry! Run, listen to Nat. Run!'
(end of flashback)
This causes Barry to lose his footing ending diving head first into a row of can causing a fracture in his right hand, they went back to STAR Labs, Barry sat on the cot for three hours for it to heal. Lu sat a bit away meditating, Cait said looking at his X-ray 'It looks like you had a distal radius fracture.' 'Had?' Barry questioned as Cait took of his cast, she said 'It's healed. In three hours.' Barry said 'How is that even possible?' Cait said 'We don't know. Yet, but for Lu it's possible considering her powers.' Cisco spoke up for the first time 'You really need to learn how to stop.' While helping himself to a few of Lu's chocolates, Cait slapped his hand and said 'They are not yours.'
Cisco said 'Lu and I share, I live with her. We share food being sweets, we share.' Barry said 'Erm.. Cisco was it can you explain why you live my house with my wife?' Cisco said 'I view Lu like a sister considering I don't have one only my brother Dante, my lease was up I lived in one of the guest room here till Lu let me move into your basement. I pay my way, paying rent and sometimes groceries.' Wells said 'What happened out there today? You were moving pretty well, and then something caused you to lose focus.'
Barry nervously rubber his hands and looked at the ground he sighed 'I started remembering something. When I was 11, my mother was murdered. It was late, a sound woke me up. I came downstairs, and I saw what looked like a ball of lightning. Inside the lightning, there was a man. He killed my mom. They arrested my dad. He's still sitting in Iron Heights for her murder. Everyone, the cops, the shrink, they they all told me what I saw was impossible. But what if the man who killed my mom was like me?' Wells smiled 'Well, I think I can say unequivocally you are one of a kind.'
Heels hit the floor signaling Lu stopped meditating, her eye's skin and hair a little brighter, showing the energy than she had recently absorbed. Barry got up speeding to her wrapping his arms around Lu's waist, she laughed 'Don't get too used to that, I'm still faster than you.' Barry raised and eyebrow and asked 'Is that a challenge, Mrs Allen?' Lu said 'Not at all, Mr Allen. Just a fact.' 'What's a fact?' Eli said walking into the cortex, Lu said 'Get out now!' Eli smirked 'Are you sure you want to do that?' He held out a hand out, sending at chair at Barry Lu held out a hand and the chair turned into energy which she absorbed. Eli's whole body erupted in a pink glow, he then fell to the ground trying to use his powers which failed him.
Barry said to Wells Cisco and Cait 'Aren't we going to help Lu?' Wells said 'Barry, this is Lu's fight.' Slipping on her suit grabbing Eli by the scruff of his T-shirt she disappeared to CCPD in front of Singh she dropped him in front of him. Singh grabbed a pair of handcuffs, and said 'Eli Simpson, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be used in a court of law, if you do not have a lawyer one will be appointed for you.' Some officers came to take him away, Singh said 'Thank you Cosmic.' She smiled 'Not problem, Captain.' Lu left and turned up where Iris Joe and Barry were in normal clothing Lu said 'What happened?' Joe shouted at Iris 'What the hell were you thinking having her out there? No, no, no and I told you! When you see danger, you run the other way! You're not a cop!' Iris said frustrated 'Because, you wouldn't let me!' Joe said 'Your damn right.' Barry said pleading 'Joe, I need to talk to you.' Joe said 'It can wait.'
Barry said 'No, now. I know who did this. It's Clyde Mardon. I know, everybody thinks he died in a plane crash after the Star Labs explosion, but he is alive. All right, something happened to him that night. I, I think he can control the weather. The recent robberies, they all happened during freak meteorological events. And when I just confronted Mardon, the street was instantly enveloped in fog. Of course you don't believe me. You never believe me.' Lu said 'Dad I thought you believed me after everything happened.' Joe said ignoring Lu 'Ok. You wanna do this now? Out here? Fine. Mardon is dead. There is no controlling the weather, Barry. Just like there was no lightening storm in your house that night. It was your brain helping a scared little boy accept what he saw.' Barry said 'My Dad did not murder my Mom or Natasha.' Joe said 'Yes, he did! Your dad killed your mother, Barry. I am sorry, son, but I knew it, the jury knew it, now he's paying for what he did.'
Iris said 'Dad, enough!' Joe shook his head saying 'No, Iris! I have done my best to take care of you since that night, and I never asked for anything in return, not even a thank you, but what I do ask now, is that you for once in your life, see things as they are.' Barry walks away as does Iris, Lu had tears in her eyes and said 'For once I asked if you believed me and you did after seeing my powers. I reunited you with my Mom, and this is how you treat Barry and I not believing us when I show you that night. I'm sorry Joe, but I'm sticking with Barry, come to me when you finally believe.' Lu arrived at STAR Labs in the cortex Barry said 'Those are all theoretical.' Wells rubbed his forehead and said 'And how theoretical are you? We've mapped dispersion throughout and around Central City but we have no way of knowing exactly what or who was exposed. We've been searching for other metahumans, like yourself and Lu.' Metahumans?' Barry questioned Cait said 'That's what we are calling them.'
Barry said 'I saw one today. He's a bank robber, and he can control the weather.' 'This just keeps getting cooler.' Cisco said getting excited. Barry said 'This is not cool! All right? A man died. Mardon must have gotten his powers the same way I did. From the storm cloud. He's still out there. We have to stop him before he hurts anyone else.' Wells said 'Barry! That's a job for the police.' Barry 'Yeah, I work for the police.' Wells said 'As a forensic assistant.' Barry said 'You're responsible for this. For him.' Wells 'What's important is you! Not me. I lost everything. I lost my company. I lost my reputation. I lost my freedom. And then you broke your arm, and it healed in three hours. Inside your body, could be a map to a whole new world genetic therapy, vaccines, medicines, treasures, Barry. Deep within your cells, and we cannot risk losing everything because you want to go out and play hero. You're not a hero. You're just a young man who was struck by lightning.'
Barry said 'And what about Lu, she can go off and play hero? Why is that? because she has some control and I don't, she has better experience. Everyday of my life I've been told that it's ok to run and now I can run faster than any man alive and now I can't just run in the opposite.' Lu said softly 'Bare..' Barry interrupted 'Not now Lu.' Lu said again 'Bare..' Barry lashed out and said 'Lu, I said not now.' Realizing what he had said he tried to apologise 'Lu, I'm sorry i didn't mean too.' Lu grabbed her bag and walked out and said 'You've done enough Barry Allen.' The sound of her heels disappeared indicating that she had used a portal to get out, Barry said 'On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad do you think Lu is mad at me?' Wells wheeled himself out and said 'Mr Allen, that scale wouldn't cover how you put it 'mad' she is at you.' Barry ran out he stops halfway out of Central City throwing his jacket on the floor to stop him from burning.

'So that's my story. As you know, I was so pissed at myself the way I was with Lu. She's the person I love, my best friend, now Lu and I have spent well I've spent my whole life searching for the impossible. Never imagining that I would become the impossible or even Lu.'
Third person pov
Barry stood on a roof of a building in Starling City, Arrow aka Oliver Queen and Cosmic Dreamer aka Lu West-Allen. Arrow and Comic turned around with hood up and mask on, Arrow said ' So why come to me? Something tells me you didn't just run 600 miles to say hi to a friend.' Barry said shoving his hands in his pocket 'All my life I've wanted to just do more. Be more. And now I am. And the first chance I get to help someone, I screw up. I was chasing the bad guy, and, and someone died.' Arrow said ' If you really do this you're gonna make mistakes. I've made mistakes. But the good you do will far outweigh the bad. I know, this is a choice to be the good that Central City deserve along side Comic here.' Barry shook his head and said 'What if Wells is right? What if I'm not a hero? What if I'm just some guy who was struck by lightning?' Cosmic said 'I don't think that bolt of lightning struck you, Barry. I think it chose you, like it did with me.' Comic took off her mask showing her face as Lu.
Barry said 'I'm just not sure I'm like you, Lu or even Oliver. I don't know if I can be some vigilante.' Arrow said 'You can be better. Because you can inspire people, in a way that I never could. In a way that Lu is a hero.' 'Watching over our city like a guardian angel, making a difference saving people. In a flash. Take your own advice. Wear a mask. Bare,' Lu said. Arrow plunges into the void, Barry sees him, hanging from a rope, landing on the building next door. Arrow looks at Barry spinning like a flash, admiring each other's ability. Lu said 'Catch you later, Oli.' She flew off leaving a trail of energy that was slowly turning into dust, Oliver collected some of it in a glass jar and left for his hideout.
Arriving at STAR Labs, they began discussing, what has been happening taking a quick break, Lu still stood in her suit, It didn't take Barry long to notice what she was wearing. As his eyes gazed over the corset enhancing her breasts the shorts showing off her fairly shaped legs, something inside snapped and he rushed over to her pushing her gently into the nearest wall. He began kissing her deeply shoving his tongue in her mouth wrapping her legs around his waist, Barry cupped her very tonned bum. They leaned their foreheads on each other, Barry whispered in her ear, 'That outfit on you is sexy think you could wear this to bed once.' Lu said 'Not on your life, Mr Allen.' Barry said 'I think we could come to some sort arrangement, Mrs Allen.'
Cisco came in and said 'If you two are done sucking the life out of each other Barry could you follow me.' Barry let go of Lu and said 'I'll be back.' Following Cisco they stop in a small room with a red suit on a dummy that appeared to be lying down Cisco said 'If we're gonna do this I have something that might help. Something I've been playing with. It's designed to replace the turnouts firefighters traditionally wear. I thought if Star Labs could do something nice for the community, maybe people wouldn't be so angry at Doctor Wells anymore.' 'How is it gonna help me?' Barry questioned, Cisco smirked 'It's made of a reinforced tri-polymer, it's heat and abrasive resistant, so it should withstand your moving at high-velocity speed. And the aerodynamic design should help you maintain control. Plus, it has built-in sensors, so we can track your vitals, and stay in contact with you from here.'
Cisco left for Barry to put it on, he then walked into the cortex, with the mask hanging at the back of his neck, Barry said 'Thanks. Now how do we find Mardon?' Cisco said 'I re-tasked STAR Labs satellite to track meteorological abnormalities over Central City.' The computers started pinging, Cait said 'We just got a ping.' Cisco said 'Atmospheric pressure dropped 20 millibars in a matter of seconds. I've tracked it to a farm just west of the city.' Barry said 'I know which one.' Barry then ran out leaving a trail of papers floating around, Lu used a portal and arrived there before Barry, Joe and Eddie were there as well as Mardon. Joe said 'Mardon? On you knees. Hands on your head.'
Mardon laughs 'You got me. The night of the storm, after Star Labs blew. After our plane went down, and I woke up on the ground, alive. When I saw what I could do, I understood. I am God.' Joe growled 'Shut the hell up! Turn around.' Eddie shoots his bullets fly at Mardon which cause him to make an explosion, he shouted 'You think your guns can stop God?!' Joe said 'Why in the hell would God need to rob banks?' Mardon said thoughtfully 'You're right. I've been thinking too small.' He turns away walking out of the barn, Mardon causes a tornado. The two policemen go out. The tornado raises debris and one of them goes to Joe. Barry arrives shortly afterwards deflecting the shot and Cosmic causes a shield to wrapped around them all to stop them from getting hurt
The tornado begins to get bigger in size, 'Barry, Lu, this thing getting closer. Wind speeds are 200 miles per hour, and increasing. Lu, Barry, can you hear me?' Cisco said through coms Barry answers 'Loud and clear.' Cisco said 'If Mardon keeps up like this it could become an F5 tornado.' Barry said And it's headed towards the city. How do we stop it? Guys? What if I unravel it?' Cait said 'How the hell are you going to do that?' Barry said 'I'll run around it in the opposite direction, cut off its legs and if that doesn't work Lu is my back up.' Lu said 'Barry you'd have to clock 700 miles per hour to do that.' Cait said 'Your body may not be able to handle those speeds. You'll die.' Barry said 'I have to try or all of Central City will die.'
Barry begins to run around it but the force is too strong like its rejecting him and it forces hims out Barry said 'He's too strong.' Mardon said 'It's time to think big.' Wells said 'You can do this, Barry. You're right, I am responsible for all this. So many people have been hurt, because of me, and when I looked at you, all I saw was a potential victim of my hubris, and yes, I created this madness, but you, Barry and Lu, you can stop it. You can do this now, run! Barry, run. Lu listen to me Barry cannot do it alone, you need to let go of you restraints.' Lu said 'I'll lose my humanity.' Wells said 'You won't feel the energy all around you, that is what you are. That side of you will never win, that craves destruction.' Lu said 'Why is that?' Wells said 'Because it is alone and craves that darkness. But you are not alone you have friends more importantly a family.'
Barry managed to stop Mardon but he had a gun shooting him Barry dodged him till he fell to the side after being worn out. he then raises the gun to Cosmic 'Hey! I didn't think there was any one like me.' Cosmic's eyes turned white she raised off the ground holding a hand to him and said her voice sounding more powerful 'I'm not like you. You're a murderer.' Mardon raised off the ground a white energy escaped him Cosmic absorbed it he fell to the ground Joe arrested him. Lu wasn't even human anymore she retained a humanoid woman's body shape with an unearthly magenta glow white eyes and pure pinks energy tendril. Landing on the ground, Barry and Joe talked and straightened everything out, they all arrived back to STAR Labs Lu hadn't said anything Cisco said 'Are we all just going to ignore that Lu looks like an alien from TV.' Barry walked over to Lu an said 'Lu? It's me Barry do you remember me.' Lu turned her head to Barry lifting a hand to his cheek and said 'What do you think, just because I look like an alien doesn't mean I'm gone or lost humanity for letting go of my restrictions on my powers. I'ts just a bit over whelming as I can feel all of the energy.'
Barry said to Wells 'Will she be able to turn back?' Wells said 'That is up to her powers if they allow her to.' Barry hugged Lu, who then very quickly turned human again and was very naked. Barry rushed Lu home after feeling her body against his, the next morning Lu and Barry arrived at Iron Heights. Barry and Henry spoke over the phones behind glass, Henry said 'Hey, Slugger.' Barry laughed 'You've been calling me that since I was eleven. Funny thing is, I finally got into a fight today.'Henry questioned 'You just got out of a coma. I'm not sure you should be picking fights.'
'Hey.' Barry said defensively, Henry raised any eyebrow 'Did you win?' Barry said with tears in his eyes 'Yeah. I did. You didn't kill Mom or Nat. You know I know that, right?' Henry said 'You believing me is all I need and Lu too.' Barry said 'You're not gonna be in here much longer. Whoever killed Mom, whatever killed them I think I finally have a way to find them. To stop them.' Henry said 'Barry, we've talked about this. It's time to let it go. You've got to stop worrying about me. And live your life. Give me grandkids.' Barry said 'For the first time, I feel like I finally can. The truth is, ever since the night Mom died, I've been stuck in one place. Missed out on a lot of things. But I'm different now. I made some new friends. They're helping me find my way and Lu and I are making a go of it again to try for children we're hoping that we can have some every after being struck by lightening.' Henry said 'Well the next time your in here I expect for news that I'll be a grandfather.'
Barry said 'And finally move forward. Remember when you wanted me to change my name? So I wouldn't have to deal with people knowing you're my dad. I'm glad they know. I'm so proud, to be your son.' Henry said 'I love you, son.' Barry said 'I love you too, Dad.' Later on while running and flying through the city Barry saves a cyclist froma car collision Cosmic encase a few children in a bubble to stop them from getting ran over. Barry said 'My name is Barry Allen. And I am the fastest man alive. A friend recently gave me the idea for a new name. And something tells me, it's gonna catch on.' Lu said 'My name is Lu West-Allen, I'm Cosmic dreamer and I have found out who I am. I am everything that is anything but most importantly I'm who I want to be with my family.'
Extra scene
One month later after Lu spend that last three weeks throwing up, Cait stood with a needle and said 'I'm just going to take some blood.' Cait took the blood sample away Lu sat down Barry said 'Hey, it's alright.' Cisco said 'So what do think is going on?' Lu said 'Pass me the bucket,' Cisco did as she asked and began heaving the contents of her stomach, Barry rubbed her back lightly about an hour later Lu fell asleep on the cot in the room, a few more hours later Cait returned with the results. Lu sat crossed leg on the cot with Barry running his hand through her hair Joe stood in the room, along with Cisco, Iris and Wells.
Barry said 'So, what's wrong with Lu?' Cait smiled 'Nothing serious, that will go away with in 10 weeks and you both will have a lot of responsibility in 8 months.' Barry said 'I don't understand.' He was really confused, Iris squealed Joe had the biggest grin on his face Cisco had a smile that he couldn't wipe off, Wells gave a small smile. Lu's hand s moved to her stomach still feeling smooth untouched skin knowing that in a couple of moths she would be able to feel her no her's and Barry's child kicking under their hands. Lu said 'Bare, I'm pregnant.'
