CHAPTER 21: BREAKING BARRIERS
A/N: Hi guys! Sorry for the long wait!
I hope you enjoy this new chapter!
Ready?
Cisco shivered. Barry's screams were terrifying. It was the same horrific scene of his vibe happening again but this time it was real. Cisco ran towards Lisa and hugged the Princess who was crying loudly the loss of her brother. He embraced her tightly and she returned the gesture. She needed to feel Cisco's warmth desperately.
"Tell me it isn't real…" Lisa pleaded grasping Cisco tightly for support. "Tell me he isn't dead...please." Cisco turned to see Barry who was still hugging the King and calling Len through the pain and tears and he didn't answer. He couldn't say the words.
Zoom was still at the prince's side trembling softly from the cold and watching intently his victory over the King and assessing his fallen knights. Leonard had managed to kill with his cold wave four of his high ranked soldiers. He froze Lady Light, Black Pit, Shark Knight and Geom ancer instantly at the spot. They were on the ground with their bodies covered in frost and skin burned black. The area was white and glimmering with ice under the dark night sky.
Cisco could feel Lisa shivering. He turned to his side and through the smoke he saw Black Siren stopping Ronnie, Wells and Caitlin from reaching the Prince and the Winter King. Hartley was still on the ground protecting his injured arm and General Mardon and General Singh approached him to help him move to a safe side of the battlefield near the forest. Joe, Eddie and Stein were frozen with dread witnessing the chaos. They couldn't do anything. The soldiers of the Winter Army were silent grieving the loss of their ruler. Everyone was in shock. It was all very surreal. Cisco sighed still wishing that everything will start to slowly dissolve and fade back to reality but he knew that it wasn't possible. This wasn't a vibe. This was the end of their road and there was no escape.
Barry was trembling. Tears streaming down his face. Zoom was right. He was finally broken. All the pain and the scars had finally left him cold. He had now lost his faith, his reason to live… his love. Darkness was the only thing that remained. He wanted so badly that his shattered heart stopped beating along Len's heart. He wanted to fade away with him.
"Len…don't leave me…" he murmured crying broken up inside. He felt so hollow. He felt more broken than in any other moment of his life. "I'm so tired of running…I don't have the strength to go on without. You changed my life…you gave me hope, without you I feel so empty and alone…please wake up…I've been waiting all my life for someone like you…and I don't want to let you go away."
Everyone stared silently with tears in their eyes…waiting…hoping for some kind of miracle to happen, but it seemed like the world and the gods had turned his back on Barry.
"Len please… answer me…" he continued holding Len closer to him.
The night was cold and the wind was howling loudly. Time was going by slowly. The prince felt that the silence was getting too loud.
"I will wait for you…"
He was asphyxiating. He wanted to scream but all of his pain silenced his emotions. It was hard to breath. He was so broken. There was only darkness and he couldn't take it anymore.
"Len come back to me please…" Barry murmured desperate leaning to rest his forehead against Len's underneath the cold sky.
"He is dead." Zoom said with a smug grin rejoicing with the sight of the fallen King. "I told you family and love are weaknesses."
He wanted to show Barry that his fate was to submit to him. "It's just you and me Barry. You know he won't come back. This world is unfair and it will never be what you expect my Prince…but I promise that everything will be better with me by your side…this world is ours to take."
Barry wiped his tears away with the back of his; dirty and trembling, hand. He needed to believe in the impossible. He needed Len.
"I used to measure my success by counting the number of men I slaughtered but now…I'm going to measure it by counting the number of realms I conquer with you instead. We will rule all. No one will stop us My Prince…" Zoom continued walking towards Barry. "We will bring chaos and death. I will enslave the weak humans and recruit all the metas to create an unstoppable army… I will build an empire…our empire with speed and blood."
The Prince lifted his glance to see Hunter smiling at him.
"I won't let you enslave the humans Hunter." Barry stated threatening with a frozen expression. He couldn't let this monster win. "I won't let you harm anyone anymore…and I won't let you touch me again."
Zoom clenched his jaw annoyed and he looked at the prince. He wanted Barry to be his…with time Barry could learn to love him, to submit to his wishes...he just needed time.
"You can't stop me Barry… you have nothing... no plan, no army and I took almost of your speed…I destroyed everything. I destroyed you. Give up. Surrender to me…submit and I will spare the rest of your friends and family. Become mine and I will give you everything you desire and more."
"No you won't Hunter and you can't give me what I want…" Barry said tightening his grip on Len's blue royal garments and silver armor. "You destroyed what I wanted…and I will avenge him."
Hunter scoffed. "Release that corpse Barry…give up and be mine…this will be the last time I offer you this…marry me, be my partner."
"I will rather die than be with you!" Barry exclaimed spiteful. "You will not determine my story Hunter…not now or ever."
Barry tenderly leaned towards Len's peaceful face and kissed softly the cold lips of the King lingering in the moment knowing that probably that would be their last kiss. Hunter watched the Prince annoyed with an intense feeling in the bottom of his stomach. A feeling he couldn't shake and unfamiliar to him. Envy. He was jealous of a corpse. Anger swirled like a red tide within him, rising to choke him. His breath became harsh and shallow, his hands automatically curling into fists at his sides, itching to swing out and put Barry away from the dead King…but he remained motionless…just watching…waiting.
"You will always be the love of my life Len…I promise I will avenge you…soon we will be together…this isn't goodbye… wait for me."
Hunter scoffed trying to keep his emotions buried deep inside of him. "So this is your answer? You reject my offer…" Zoom asked amused.
Barry glared. "I never even considered it Hunter…"
"So be it… but take a last look around while you're free. This time I won't show you mercy. Everyone will witness your downfall and I will make you my slave. After I make you submit I will kill them slowly in front of you…one by one. "
"You were always right Hunter, darkness can't be locked." Barry stated with dead cold eyes feeling a fire burning inside of him. "But even in the dark times I will fight back. Let me show you another side of me. You wanted my speed…you wanted my speedforce… well let me show you what I am capable of…"
Barry slowly stood up. Iris was right. It was only in the blackest nights that we could truly see the light. The prince filled his lungs with fear and exhaled. He could feel the pain, anger and the wish to avenge his beloved consuming his soul. He could feel the overwhelming weight of his responsibility of protecting the realms of this monster. There was so much pain inside him and it was so tempting to give in to the rage feeling so torn apart… but his real motivation was the oath to avenge his beloved and to protect Lisa and his friends. He was going to give it all in this last fight.
"What the hell is Barry doing? Is he going to fight Zoom?" Lisa yelled and Cisco stared at his friend who stood tall against the evil speedster.
"I think he is…"
"He can't fight Zoom…" Lisa said anxious grabbing Cisco's arm. "That man is a monster…he is going to kill him like he killed Len…we need to stop him! We need to stop him now!"
Joe exhaled worried for his son. He knew Barry was weak after Zoom's ritual and imprisonment. Lisa was right they needed to stop this. Barry was walking towards his death head on…probably shocked with Len's death.
"Lisa is right. He can't win like that." Eddie added tense looking the battlefield. "Zoom has Barry's speed and the prince is wounded. We need to help him or stop him now..."
"Our best bet was Len's cold wave and it didn't even hurt Hunter…" Cisco stated worried. "I hate to break it to you guys but the odds aren't in our favor…"
Barry closed his eyes concentrating. He started to feel his connection with the speedforce locked up inside him, it was faint after Zoom's ritual, but now it was increasing hastily with his strong waves of emotions, with his rage and the resolve to protect the ones he loved. The energy that was traveling through his veins started healing all of his wounds quickly. Faster than ever. He could feel a warm tingling effect on his skin. He could feel his back healing from Rupture's attack, his busted lip and his chest restoring. Barry lifted his gaze with hazel eyes full of energy and power. "It's time to finally end this Hunter..." Barry said with deep voice slightly distorted with speed. "I will become everything that you fear…I will be your demise."
Zoom took a step back. He could feel the raw energy running through Barry's body. Hunter knew that the silence was about to break and that hell was going to be unleash upon the valley. The wind started to move in frenzy. The tall trees started losing their orange and yellow leaves. It was like an invisible whirlwind surrounding the young speedster. The leaves starred blasting in mid-air.
"You will regret everything Hunter." Barry said with a dark deep voice. "You will regret killing Len and I will make you pay for every wrong you did…for all the pain you have caused."
The night suddenly got darker and cold.
"What the hell is happening?" asked Lisa seeing the sky turn even darker; there were no longer stars in the sky and unexpectedly lightning started to fall like rain over the battlefield. The light was almost blinding and the thunders were echoing loudly in the battlefield. Lisa shivered scared.
"Mardon are you doing this? Are you causing a god damn storm?" Joe asked a little impressed but mostly scared. "Because I swear I will punch you in the face if you don't stop it right now!"
General Mardon shook his head confused at the catastrophic sight. "I'm not doing this Joe! I swear…"
"Clyde?" Joe asked turning to his side and the Commander denied with his head.
"I think…I think it is the Prince" Clyde replied in shock pointing to the middle of the valley. Everyone turned to see Barry standing up in the middle of the lightning storm making the earth tremble.
"Is he losing the control of his powers?" Lisa asked concerned.
"No he is unleashing all of his speedforce." Stein explained amazed. "He managed to connect himself again with the source of his powers…"
Lisa gasped impressed. "But how is he making the ground tremble?" she continued.
"With vibration manipulation." Hartley added a little nervous. "He is using his vibrations to alter the pulses of the earth. I can feel the waves… if he accelerate his energy more he can also cause anything to violently explode…"
"Anything?" Lisa asked suddenly worried.
"Anything…like those leaves blasting mid-air…" Hartley replied. "Including us…"
"That sounds like a nasty way to go..." Cisco replied feeling a little startled by the impressive display of Barry's powers.
"We will be in danger in Barry loses control over his speed…" Stein explained. "We need to be ready to leave if things get out of control."
A lightning suddenly hit one of the trees behind the group and it cracked loudly bursting in to flames. The branches started to fall and they hastily ran away from the forest line. They darted towards Black Siren, Ronnie, Wells and Caitlin who were standing still looking at Zoom and Barry stunned with the spectacle.
"Oh shit. This is some terrifying lightning storm…" Cisco murmured with dread beholding the forest caught on fire with the lightning bolts striking constantly the trees. The fire started to spread everywhere.
"Mardon summon some rain over the forest!" Joe commanded dryly. Mardon nodded and he casted his powers to extinguish the fire, but the wildfire was running too fast and his rain wasn't enough to stop it. Clyde noticing soon the problem started manipulating the weather as well to summon more rain.
Zoom's soldiers started to flee except his remaining high ranked followers who loyally stood waiting for his ruler to end victorious against the prince. Barry was unconsciously unleashing a hell all around them; everything was illuminated with lightning and the blazing fire consuming everything in his path.
"How can we stop this?" Lisa yelled through the loud thunders.
"We can't. Speedsters improve their speed through their emotional connection with others!" Wells explained quickly. "Specially with their soul mates or how they like to call them their lightning rod, in this case the loss of the King triggered pain and wrath…and that is what is creating this distort on Barry's powers... he is summoning all of his speed force to annihilate Zoom."
"No you are wrong. This is something else Harrison…I thought the same at the beginning…but I was wrong, so wrong…" Stein stated amazed at the beam of light connecting Barry to the deep black sky. "He is not summoning all of his speed. Zoom was right Barry's speed was indeed the cure to his sickness. The problem is that Hunter didn't realize that it wasn't because Barry's connection was pure to the speedforce…it is because somehow Barry is the source of the speedforce himself."
"W-What?" Joe and Cisco asked in unison.
"How the hell is that even possible?" Lisa asked completely confused.
"The night the Prince was born there was a heavy thunderstorm in Central Kingdom, it was unnatural and there was so much energy unleashed in the realm…I always thought that Barry was the one who caused. That day, in different spaces and time Lord Eobard Thawne acquired his powers and I suspect Zoom as well…but Barry only manifested his speed after the death of King Henry Allen and Queen Nora Allen... his emotions triggered his powers."
"So Lenny's death…the shock of losing him… is what gave him the ability to release all of this energy and chaos?" Lisa asked quickly looking the huge thunderstorm. Her hair waving wildly in te wind.
Wells nodded. "That's correct Princess…"
"Barry being the source of the power it's what make the speedsters feel more attracted to him…" Stein repeated watching the battlefield. "If Barry unleashes all of his power and continue creating speed and energy he could risk his life. He could get absorbed in to the speedforce and disappear…"
Lisa gasped silently.
"Then we need to stop him!" Cailtin whispered silently with dread. "We can't let him die too!"
"I'm not sure if the fate that awaits Barry is called death Lady Snow…" Stein murmured watching the battlefield. "But he will merge with the speedforce forever."
"You destroyed everything!" Barry yelled summoning his powers to break all the barriers while his tears were still falling silently. He wanted Len back. He was going to end this… he was going to break the sound, light and force barriers in his last battle. He was going to stop Zoom and avenge Len once and for all. His determination was unstoppable. He was going to show every broken enemy what he was capable of…even if he dies in the process.
Hunter stared impressed at the Prince. He had thought that he had taken almost of Barry's speed, but it seemed that he was wrong. There was so much more to take. He grinned. The more he saw Barry using his powers his fascination and obsession grew even stronger and deeper.
"That's it Barry… beautiful…" Zoom added watching the Prince surrounded by cracking yellow lightning. The air was electrified. The evil speedster summoned his power as well enveloping his body with sparking blue lightning. "I'm waiting Barry…let's do this."
The prince lounged forward to attack Zoom with a sonic boom that generated an enormous amount of sound waves. It sounded like a massive explosion. Everyone near the battlefield raised their hands to cover their ears while closing their eyes. Barry was so fast that he disappeared and appeared instantly in front of Hunter. The evil speedster even with his superhuman reflexes didn't had time to react and received a punch in the face so hard it sent him flying backwards.
"Holy shit!" Cisco screamed through the blast still covering his ears. "Super sonic punch ladies!"
Zoom quickly stood up angry touching his face wiping the blood of his mouth.
"Let's play…Your Highness…let's see who is faster…" Zoom said grinning projecting a bolt of lightning from his hand. Barry smirked unimpressed and caught the lightning easily with his right hand mid-air and he absorbed the energy making the bolt disappear in to him.
"Thanks for the energy…"
Hunter's eyes widened.
"Is that all you can do?" Barry said teasing his enemy. "You are painfully slow Hunter and I'm stronger now…you can't control me now… you can't take me down... Are you finally afraid of what you unleashed?"
The black speedster growled and ran towards Lisa. He was going to kill the Winter Princess first. He was going to attack Barry's weakness and teach him a lesson. Cisco noticed Zoom's sudden change of plans and pushed the Princess to his back to protect her from Hunter. Barry flashed and grabbed Zoom's arm and stopped Hunter from reaching his target. The prince then proceeded to savagely pulverize Zolomon punching him with his fists at high speed and then with a devastating blow he threw him hard to the ground. He kicked the evil speedster and Zoom flew colliding against a tree.
"This is between you and me Hunter!" Barry roared angry his voice as loud as thunder. "Don't you dare to touch them!"
Hunter growled overwhelmed with Barry's ridiculous strength and speed. "I told you…I don't play by the rules B-Barry…and right now you have a lot of w-weakness gather here t-together for me to destroy." Hunter finished talking, he stood up and ran throwing a lightning that surprisingly forked in three, mid-air. They were going straight towards Wells, Lisa and Caitlin's hearts. Barry ran and pushed Wells and Caitlin out of the danger and Lisa pushed Cisco back and used her bracelets to absorb the lightning's energy.
"Holy speedforce! They worked!" Cisco yelled happy.
"What do you mean they worked you idiot?!" Lisa argued with her cute inventor.
Zoom growled annoyed. He needed to finish the prince quickly. "This ends now… You will be mine you like it or not Bartholomew." Zoom lounged forward with crackling blue lightning to grab Barry by the neck and strangle the Prince. He needed to hold him down. He wanted to show Barry his rightful place… underneath him writhing in pain and pleasure. The prince didn't even react, move or blink. Zoom tried to catch Barry but the Prince was swiftly intangible.
"W- What the-?" Zoom roared when his hand passed through the Prince's neck.
"Too slow…you missed." Barry said smirking and moving to the side. He became tangible again and charged his body with cracking energy and with the palm of his hand touched Zoom's back discharging a large burst of energy shocking him. Hunter howled in pain feeling his back burn and he fell to his knees. Barry walked in front of the evil speedster that was gasping tired and trembling badly from the shock.
"You look good on your knees Hunter…" Barry stated softly taking Len's crown from Zoom's head. "This isn't yours to wear you greedy bastard…you will never be King…and I will never be yours."
Zoom glared at the Prince with anger. This wasn't the naive and weak speedster he loved to torture. This was the powerful and wild Barry he wanted to tame and bend in half. He had created an unstoppable enemy. All the pain that he gave Barry just made the Prince stronger. It unlocked all of Barry's powers…making him almost indestructible. He dug his own demise.
"You won't be able to win against me now Zolomon…" Barry stated pleased.
Hunter growled at the pain in his back. He wanted to move and reach Barry.
"You don't deserve your speed…" Barry said with a soft and dangerous voice. "I will take it all away…"
Zoom's heart skipped a beat. "You c-can't take it…." Hunter said almost breathless between gasps. "Y-You need black magic..."
"You underestimate me." Barry said kneeling in front of the black speedster. The prince placed Len's crown carefully on the ground next to him and raised both of his hands to rest them on either side of Zoom's face. Hunter lifted his gaze to meet with Barry's deep hazel eyes filled with hate and revenge.
"I promise Hunter… this will hurt." Barry said and his voice echoed ominously. The prince closed his eyes and blue energy started to leak from Zoom body into Barry's hands merging with his yellow lightning. Barry threw his back feeling his heart beating faster. He was absorbing all of Zoom's speedforce and his stolen speed. He was starting to vibrate. It was a weird feeling. He could feel the waves of energy incoming in to his body.
"What the hell is happening?" Cisco practically shouted watching the vortex of energy surrounding the two speedsters in frenzy.
"The speedforce gave Barry the ability to absorb energy!" Wells explained surprised. "Barry wants to steal Zoom's powers for good!"
A whitening blast illuminated the battlefield. They all felt the light blind them.
"Holy speed force!" Cisco yelled trying to cover his eyes with his arm.
Zoom was yelling…shrieking…howling in agony. He was twisting between the prince's hands trying to escape Barry's touch. Barry opened his eyes to stared straight in to Hunter's black eyes. Zoom could feel the wrath and grief Barry was feeling.
"This is the end Hunter…you will never hurt anyone again…"
"You think you've w-won this f-fight…" Zoom said between clenched teeth. "but now you are a hollow h-hero…empty inside… you lost the W-Winter King… I won…enjoy your everlasting misery Your Highness."
Barry intensified his powers and Zoom screamed feeling his speed fading faster in to Barry.
"Hunter!" Black Siren yelled clasping his hands over her mouth in shock.
Zoom finally closed his eyes and went limp. Barry released the speedster's face and Zolomon fell to the ground full of mud and blood with a loud thud. The Prince shivered, he could feel the energy running through his veins at impossible high speed. He was getting unstable. Barry looked at his hands and suddenly noticed that he was surrounded with jolts of lightning. He was getting nervous; he could feel a lot of power running through his veins in frenzy. He breathed deeply trying to calm down. He suddenly remembered Stein's words at the library in the Winter Palace. "I believe a spark of energy of the speedforce can give life…Always remember that our souls and powers are energy inside of us…when we die is when there is no longer energy in us…energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be shared."
Maybe…he could save Len. Barry turned to see Len resting on the ground. He needed to try quickly before it was too late. Barry grabbed Len's crown from the field towards the King and flashed creating an impressive vaccum of air behind him. He was going to find a way to bring Len back to life. It was now or never.
"I'm going to save you Len… This isn't over… not here, not while I still need you…" he murmured kneeling beside the King. Len's eyes were closed and his face was dirty with blood and mud but he looked so handsome. He looked as if he was deeply asleep. "I know you are far away… but I'm not leaving this nightmare without you…I need to be with you…I need a second chance with you."
Barry touched the wound over Len's heart. The place where Zoom's claw pierced through Len's silver armor with deathly speed. Barry rested his hands closing his eyes.
"I will bring back you back to me…" Barry's hand started glowing and cracking with yellow lightning. He could feel part of his energy fading and moving in to Len's cold body. He could feel his soul blazing.
"Len! Come back to me… follow my voice….please I need you…"
He needed to restart Len's cold heart beating. Barry's hands were tainted with Len's blood.
"Come on Len…wake up…I won't let you die…you are my lightning rod. Without you I'm lost…you are my soul mate."
Barry closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly a second whitening blast illuminated the battlefield. The thunders increased and a warm energy was surrounding the prince and Len.
"Amazing!" Stein shouted captivated with the scene before him.
"What's happening?" Lisa yelled. "I can't see anything…"
"Barry is sharing his accelerated healing and regeneration with the King. He is going to share his own energy in to Len. He is merging their souls. He is trying to bring the King back to life."
Lisa felt tears in her eyes and a cold shiver ran through her spine. She wanted so badly to see her brother alive. She needed to believe in Barry.
"Can he do that?" Caitlin said fascinated feeling the cold wind created by the vortex striking them. Ronnie hugged her to protect her. "Is that even possible?"
"Our knowledge of the speedforce is still very rudimentary Lady Snow…" Stein explained frustrated and amazed. "Barry is doing something no speedster has ever achieved, he is using his speedforce to save the King...to bring him back from death…"
"I think we should start believing in the impossible..." Harry murmured doubtful but fascinated.
"So that means that Barry can revive anyone he wants?" asked Cisco astonished. "Is he like a god now? Is my best friend a god?! Because I know he already can run on water and that is fucking awesome!"
Wells rolled his eyes. "No…he is definitely not a God… Cisco."
"Pity…that would have been awesome!"
"No…that kind of magic can only work with his lightning rod…" Stein explained. "Their connection is what allows Barry to save the King…sharing an amount of energy like that with any other person might kill them instead…"
"What if Len isn't Barry's lightning rod?" Caitlin asked her voice almost drowned in the noise of the thunders.
Stein glanced towards the center of the battlefield. "Judging from Barry's reactions I thave no doubt that Len in fact is his soul mate… but if he is not I'm afraid that… nothing will happen…the King will remain death."
"What the hell is a lightning rod?" Cisco asked confused turning to Lisa and Wells.
Wells sighed at Cisco. "A lightning rod is the speedster's loved one… their soul mates. Their love can ground them and let the speedster escape from the speedforce."
Lisa gasped remembering Len's words.
"Len told me that after we saved Barry from Santini and Thawne, when the prince was still unconscious in the palace, he touched the prince's hand and he felt a small jolt of lightning cursing through his fingers. He tried to tell me that since then there was something different between them. A powerful connection…he thought he was Barry's soul mate...Oh my god! That's why Len gave Barry the bracelet!"
Martin nodded astonished. "Probably that night was the first time they connected their souls and energy. If the Winter King is Barry's lightning rod...their connection goes beyond our understanding. It transcends time and space. It is beautiful and ethereal. We are now witnessing the most powerful use of the speedforce. If the King wakes up their hearts will beat as one until the end of time."
"Come on Len! Please…return to me…." Barry murmured pressing his warm hands tenderly against the King's chest. His tears were falling down on to Len. They were both illuminated with the speedforce surrounded by darkness and cold wind. "I'm waiting for you… please…come back to me… I will never give up on you!"
Barry could feel the fear and panic in his chest rising. He wanted so badly to see Len's beautiful blue eyes again, and see his playful smirk, hear his deep voice calling him Scarlet and he wanted to feel Len's touch.
"Len please…I need you…I need you so badly. I can't live without you! Don't leave me a alone! Don't do this! Come on!"
The prince saw that Len's injuries starting to heal quickly and he felt his heart beating faster. His eyes widened.
"Len…" Barry whispered feeling hope. It was working. It was truly working. The King was regaining his natural color and he inhaled and his chest started to rise and fall fast and then slowly. Len was no longer cold.
"Impossible…" Barry murmured amazed. "Len!"
"Mmmh…S-Scarlet?" the King groaned slowly opening his blue eyes. Barry smiled with tears in his eyes surrounded of energy and lightning. Len coughed, clearing his throat. His mouth felt dry and there was a lingering taste of blood.
"You are alive!" Barry said crying from happiness and adrenaline. "You are back…you are back…"
"You saved me…" Len said smiling and tried to touch Barry's face with his hand but it passed through Barry and he felt his heart skip a beat. His blue eyes widened.
"W-What the?" Len said noticing that Barry was intangible. Panic clearly starting to show in their eyes. Barry lifted his hands and they were fading.
"Len I… I c-can't control the speedforce!" the Prince explained anxiously. Barry could hear the noises around them turn in to a blur. He was slowly fading away in to thin air. He could feel his consciousness slipping away. He was starting to disappear with yellow lightning.
"BARRY!" Len yelled feeling panic and a thorn twisting in his heart. "You need to control it Scarlet! Breath deeply and slow down! I can't lose you again!"
Barry started to shake his head. He was scared. "I-I c-can't…" He couldn't breath. He was starting to feel numb.
"Calm down Scarlet…stay with me."
On the far side of the battlefield Stein seeing what was happening started to run as fast as he could towards the King followed by Lisa and Cisco.
"Barry is losing control." Martin explained worried. "He is being absorbed in to the speedforce…his connection is too strong and pure…"
"What can we do?" Lisa asked quickly.
"We can't do anything…" Stein added out of breath it had been a while since he ran.
"Then why the hell are we running?" Cisco yelled frustrated.
"We can't stop it…" Martin explained. "The only person who can prevent that from happening is the King we need to tell him to stop Barry with his powers… he needs to use the cold wave on the Prince. Lisa, Cisco run… I can't anymore…"
He halted on the way trying to catch his breath. Cisco and Lisa nodded and Martin saw them run towards Barry and Len.
"Barry is disappearing!" Cisco yelled running next to Lisa.
"Don't state the obvious! I can see that!"
"He is going to get sucked into it completely!"
"Cisco shut up!"
"Scarlet!" Len tried to grasp Barry's arms but it was all energy. He grasped thin air.
"LENNY!" Lisa yelled from a safe distance of the radius of the cold wave. "Use the cold wave!"
"What!?" The King asked. He couldn't hear in the vortex of enery caused by Barry and the thunderstorm.
"Use the FUCKING COLD WAVE!"
"Take Barry's necklace off first!" Cisco added from the distance. "The NECKLACE!"
Leonard nodded and quickly grabbed Barry's necklace and pull it off breaking the chain. He stood up and grasped his sword and used the cold wave without hesitation. The white blast surrounded them with cold frost. Barry winced at the tingling feeling in his skin, surprisingly it didn't burn him probably because there was so much energy in his body speeding his healing factor but it worked. The cold made him slow down and halt the vibrations completely. He was tangible again.
The King rushed to embrace his soul mate and one of his cold hands slid behind Barry's neck and he kissed him with euphoric strength sharing his cold powers to completely stabilize and slow down Barry's energy. The prince parted his lips giving in to it, into Len's hungry and desperate kiss. It was their moment of madness and bliss after the chaos and pain. The King suddenly felt a jolt of lightning curse through the kiss and his body. Their hearts were racing like one and their blood roaring in frenzy within; full of passion and intensity. It was the kind of kiss that takes forever and no time at all. Len's scent of cool fresh pine invaded Barry's senses driving him crazy. He missed Len so badly. The King tightened his grip on Barry by tangling his fingers on the prince's messy brown hair. They were suddenly breathless. Len slowed down the kiss and it became deliberate and sweet, giving everyone in the battlefield time to enjoy the scene. Barry could hear the Winter Army soldiers roaring and cheering and his face slowly turned hot and crimson. They finally separated and Barry breathed in to Len. They were gasping and sharing their breath mingling between their parted lips.
"I love you Scarlet."
Barry blushed meeting Len's blue eyes. "I love you too Len…you are my everything."
"I love you Scarlet."
Barry blushed meeting Len's blue eyes. "I love you too Len…you are my everything."
"What about...soul mate?"
Barry nodded smiling. "My lightning rod..."
Len scoffed. "That sounds a little kinky Scarlet..."
The prince chuckled and rolled his eyes at Len's dirty mind and finally collapsed in to the King's arms a little breathless and tired probably from all the power he wielded in the battle and for bringing the King back to life.
"Thank you for saving me…" Barry added tired. He definitely needed food.
"Thank you for bringing me back Scarlet…"
The darkness and lightning storm started to fade and everything slowly returned to normal. Twilight was slowly breaking in to dawn with shimmering rays over the valley, bestowing a glowing golden crown to the snowy peaks of the northern mountains. The sky slowly softened in to a pale blue with a few stars that refused to hide and the clouds were blushing pink. It was a new beginning full of hope. Lisa hugged and kissed Cisco happily and the tension of the battlefield slowly started to fade. The group was finally celebrating their victory over Zoom cheering and laughing.
"You scared me Scarlet..." Len replied caressing Barry's face feeling his heart beating quickly. Barry leaned to the warm touch closing his eyes.
"I scared you? You died Len… you actually died." Barry said lifting his hazel eyes full of tears. "I was so afraid…for a moment I thought I lost you forever…"
"I'm sorry Barry but I'm here… I'm okay…" Len said embracing Barry harder. "You saved me...you brought me back to you and I won't leave you again… it's going to take a lot to drag me away from you Scarlet…not even death."
"Planning on living forever?"
"With you… yes please."
Barry nodded smiling. "I was just so worried I wasn't going to see you smile again…and I felt like I couldn't breath…"
"I will stay with you for all of time…I promise." the King stated taking his blue cape to cover Barry's shivering body. "And I'm not planning on losing you again." The King leaned and kissed Barry hard but Caitlin and Wells, rushed towards them to check on them and interrupted their moment.
"Barry! Are you okay?" Caitlin asked her eyes were raking over him, looking for injuries.
"Cait! I'm fine!" Barry replied smiling a little nervous. Len sighed annoyed with them he wanted to kidnap Barry for himself.
"We are completely healed…" Barry said trying to escape from Caitlin's examination.
Caitlin turned to check on Len but the King glared raising his hands. "I'm fine Snow…In my defense Barry is the one that almost disappeared in to energy and thin air…"
"In my defense you died! You literally died!" Barry exclaimed flustered. "You should let Caitlin check you too…"
"Maybe later at the palace… but I will rather have you checking me Scarlet…"
Barry scoffed and rolled his eyes.
Suddenly the metal clatter of an armor sounded behind them. Leonard turned and saw Zoom awake and kneeling on the ground. The evil speedster no longer had his powers. He was a normal human again. Len grabbed his sword from the ground and walked ominously towards Hunter.
"Len…don't…" Barry said weakly. He didn't want Len to fight anymore. Zoom already had done a lot of damage to them and he was scared of losing his fiancé.
"I need to do this Scarlet."
Zoom stood up proudly and glared at the Winter King.
"So…are you going to finally end me Leonard?"
"Barry may be merciful…" Len said smirking with hate. "…but I'm not."
Zoom sneered amused. "I underestimated the Prince and you…"
The King sheathed his sword on the scabbard hanging on his belt around his waist.
"You did." Len stated summoning frost in his fingers.
"You hurt him…and you are going to pay."
Leonard swiftly created a cold spear it shimmered blue and released a mist of frost. It had a razor sharp ice crystal at the end. At the same time Zoom unsheathed his father's old black sword. It had been a family heirloom. The weapon that his father used to kill his mother and the sword he had used to murder people in Central Kingdom before he gained his speed the day the prince was born. It had been a long time since he had used it but it was time to wield it again. He wasn't going to go without a good fight.
"You know…" Zoom added with a smug grin seeing Barry far away on the ground gripping the blue cape tenderly around his thin frame. "I want to confess something…"
"I don't care about your confessions Zolomon…as far as I care you can take them to your fucking grave." Len replied lounging forward wielding the ice spear with such strength that it produced a swoosh sound with a swirl of wind until it collided with Zoom's sword. Hunter stumbled and barely deflected the attack with his sword and started laughing manically.
"I will give you a real reason to kill me Your Highness…a real reason to hate me…" Hunter added taking a few steps back with malice in his deep black eyes. He wanted to hurt the Winter King's heart. Len stared at the sadistic bastard with his blue eyes narrowing.
"Your fiancé… sucks cock marvelously…" Hunter added sadistically mocking the King and Len felt a void in his gut and the world collapse under his feet. The monster had touched…abused Barry. He felt his blood rushing through his body with frenzy. His face became rigid, jaw clamped tight and teeth grinding.
"I enjoyed having him on his knees at my mercy…moaning, submitting and asking for more-"
Len couldn't hear this anymore. Every word stung only fueling the fire that burned inside of him. The King felt his heart beating fast. He was going to kill Zoom. He roared with rage and created deathly ice shards and sent them flying towards Hunter. The evil speedster managed to avoid with his sword some of the ice crystals, but one pierced his arm, one his stomach and another grazed his leg deeply. Zoom growled falling to his knees; he was still too weak from losing his powers. Hunter gasped and quickly felt the pain invading his body, he wasn't healing like he used to, but he still stood up anyways.
"You dared to touch him…" Len whispered dangerously.
Hunter smiled with animalistic satisfaction. "He moaned so loudly and he repeatedly asked me to stop…but I just continued harder and harder. He was so helpless and trembling in my hands…but I'm guessing you know how that feels… to make him submit; you almost raped him didn't you? I'm guessing you did enjoy my wedding gift? Were you like your father? Did you abuse him? Did he ask you to stop?"
Len couldn't contain his rage anymore. He was trembling with hate. He yelled and pierced Zoom's black armor and flesh alike with his ice spear, tearing the speedster's black heart apart. Zoom gasped in horror and his blood started to pour from his chest and mouth. He was choking. The blood in his body started freezing and The King pushed harder the spear in to Zoom. Hunter groaned and tried to grab the spear but Len made it disappear, so Hunter fell almost lifeless to the floor and rolled to his back. Len unsheathed his sword and walked triumphal towards the dying speedster.
"Rot in hell Zolomon."
The King impaled his sword hard in to Zoom's chest, freezing everything. The blast made the speedster's body freeze and shatter in a thousand pieces of ice.
Everyone gasped shocked at the King's wrath. Joe and Cisco rushed towards him openmouthed. Oliver and Mardon just nodded approving Len's actions from the distance.
"W-Why did you kill him Your Majesty?" Joe asked baffled with his sense of justice and righteousness. "He was already defeated…we were going to sent him to the gallows…you didn't needed to do it."
Len turned to see Barry lying on the ground and Wells and Caitlin taking care of him and then again at Joe in the eyes.
"He broke Barry's heart…only fair I break his."
Joe was going to reply but stared surprised at the King and finally nodded. "You are right…"
Len walked towards Wells, Caitlin and Barry who were stunned with his actions. Len offered Barry his right hand. "Let's go home Scarlet…"
The prince smiled and nodded taking Len's hand staring at beautiful deep blue eyes.
"Let's go…"
The journey back to the Winter Palace was swift. Caitlin treated Hartley's dislodged arm and Oliver's arrow wound. The King commanded General Mardon to capture Zoom's remaining loyal followers to send them to the dungeons with the help of Oliver and Firestorm. He also ordered Commander Mardon to visit the northern towns and evaluate the damage done by Zoom's meta human army. He wanted a complete report of all the destruction to start quickly the reconstruction of the town. Finally General Singh and Eddie were in charge of escorting the two royal carriages back to the palace. They were followed by half of the Winter Army returning back home from an eventful day. The other half of the army remained picking up bodies in the valley.
When they arrived to the Winter Palace Jesse, Felicity and Iris ran towards them. Jesse hugged her father, Iris ran to hug Barry and then Joe. The warm and comforting hugs continued for a while. The Winter King smiled pleased finally seeing Barry laughing and joking with his friends. He could feel slowly the peace coming back to the realm. No more threats. They defeated Thawne, Santini and Zoom. Barry and Lisa were finally safe. He was idle thinking of Barry when Lisa hit his arm.
Len groaned. "What the-?"
"YOU JERK! YOU DIED! YOU FUCKING DIED!" she yelled angry and then embraced her stupid older brother tightly. After the battle she didn't had time to talk with Len so now she needed badly to yell at him, hit him and embrace him. She thought for a moment that she had lost him for good. She clutched her brother so hard that if he wasn't wearing an armor he would be having problems breathing.
"You know Sis… hitting the King is not very lady like…"
"You think I'm not lady like?" Lisa repeated dangerously slowly narrowing her watery eyes.
Len smirked and kissed Lisa's forehead.
"Relax Sis…everything went according to plan…we won…we are all safe."
"What plan? You idiot!… you died! I'm so mad at you right now…"
"The plan I had with Cisco…" Len said smirking. He wasn't planning on receiving his sister wrath alone. Hell no.. he was going to drag Cisco with him.
Lisa gasped and turned furious at Cisco. "You knew of his stupid plan! And you didn't stop him?!"
"For real?" Cisco asked mad at Len. "You traitor!…in my defense Lisa I didn't want to lie to you but the King threatened me!"
"We are so…. talking later Cisco." She threatened.
Cisco gulped and nodded. Len smiled roguishly and Barry laughed.
"And I'm mad with you too Barry!" Lisa pointed at the prince. "Don't you think you are safe from my rage! You almost died too!"
Barry gasped shocked and Iris narrowed her eyes at her brother.
"You almost died?" Iris asked with a dangerous edge in her voice. "Care to explain?"
"No…no…" Barry said smiling awkwardly. "It wasn't like that…"
"Prince Bartholomew Henry Allen…" Iris said. "Don't you dare to lie to me…"
"Ialmostkindoffadedintothespeedforce…" Barry murmured with incredible speed. "Long story that I rather not tell if you keep looking at me like that Iris…"
"Like what?"
"Like you want to murder me…"
Iris glared at Barry and Felicity raised her eyebrows full of curiosity.
"I promise I will tell you guys later…" Barry said looking at them tightening his grip on the blue cape covering him; he was shivering with cold. "I promise…but definitely not today…I'm really exhausted." Iris and Felicity nodded noticing that Barry's chest was bare and that he was only covered with Len's blue cape and his black pants. He looked really tired.
"You all need to go and rest…" Joe added hugging Barry trying to save the Prince from the girl's questions. "Especially you son…"
The King agreed with Joe. "Joe is right…let's go inside Scarlet."
Barry nodded thankfully. "Yeah… I really need a warm bath and dry clothes."
"Yes you go and rest Barr…" Iris continued. "Meanwhile we are going to plan the best wedding of all the realms."
Felicity beamed. "Oh yes we will… it's going to be the best!"
"A week of celebration!" added Lisa joyful. "Feasts, jousting, fairs, tournaments…"
"I want to help too!" Jesse added looking at Lisa and Iris.
"Of course!" Iris said happy. "And Caitlin will also help us!"
The King smiled. "Fine…we will celebrate the wedding a week from today. I want to fix the damage done to the town by Zoom's army before the celebrations."
"A honorable idea, Your Highness" Wells added. "And that will also give the proper amount of time to the guests to arrive.
Len nodded. "Lisa please send the announcement and invitations to our friends in Central, Keystone and Star Kingdom today."
Lisa nodded. "We will…Oh this is going to be great!"
"Now if you excuse us.." Len grabbed Barry's hand and lead him away from the crowd. They entered the palace and walked towards their room silently. When they arrived Barry opened the door and Winter howled happy. The pup ran towards the prince wagging his tail and Barry lifted him.
"Hey! I missed you so much Winter…" He said happily hugging the white wolf and the King smiled at the adorable scene.
The King turned and asked his servants to prepare a bath and to bring the best food to their room and the chambermaids complied quickly. After a couple of minutes, Barry left Winter on the bed and The King lead Barry in to the wide bathroom with cerulean water full of white bubbles and marble columns. The bathing chamber smelled like fresh pine and mint. Len took off his clothes quickly and Barry released the blue cape that cascaded around him to the ground. Barry stared at Len's body and felt his face turn crimson. The King's body was perfect. Len grinned at Barry's reaction. Barry noticed that he was staring and quickly turned to take off his boots and pants…he entered the warm pool followed by the King. The prince submerged in the warm water and then resurfaced with his hair completely wet and sticking to his face. Len smiled and leaned to touch Barry's face. The prince had some dark circles under his eyes. He sighed and removed the Prince's wet hair from his face and leaned for a kiss. It was a sweet and slow kiss. Len smiled against Barry's soft lips.
"What?" Barry asked intrigued with Len's smile.
"I'm just glad to be alive with you…here…this moment right now is perfect."
Barry agreed. "I'm glad to be here with you…."
"I just remembered that right here…" Len said looking in to Barry's hazel eyes. "Was our first time together..."
"What? Really? Are you sure about it?" The prince asked wrapping his arms around Len's neck. "I can't remember Your Highness…Do you wish to refresh my memory?"
Len laughed. "I would love to Scarlet…but you are tired and I just asked the servants for food and I don't want you fainting on me, you used a lot of your powers and you haven't eaten in a while."
Barry hummed a little annoyed, but Len was right so he just leaned forward sealing their lips together. "Fine… but hold me…I need to feel you close to me." Barry whispered softly. "And don't let go."
"Yes, Your Highness…your wish is my command." Len said smiling and circled his arms around Barry's lean waist tightly. They remained like that for a long time. Barry closed his eyes just feeling their hearts beating like one. The light of the morning was dim and some rays were infiltrating the bath warmly through the high arched windows illuminating the cerulean pool.
"This is the life I deserve…" Barry whispered happy enjoying the warm water soothing his sore muscles, feeling safe in Len's strong arms. It couldn't get better than this.
Len felt his heart clench at the prince's words and kissed Barry's neck softly. They had been through a lot this week…especially Barry.
"You really deserve happiness and I promise I will make sure you have it everyday at my side." Len said, but he was truly afraid of failing. He was worried. He wanted to talk to Barry about what Zoom did to him. "But how?" He didn't want to hurt Barry more…but he couldn't help to feel guilty of what happened and it bothered him. "Should I give Barry time and wait for him to speak about it or maybe talk about it now?...maybe the sooner the better."
"Barry…"
"Mmm…"
Len raised an eyebrow suddenly in disbelief. "Scarlet are you falling asleep in the bath?"
"Mmmnot…not sleeping…" Barry answered smiling in to Len's neck.
Len rolled his eyes. "I can feel you smiling and lying Barry…you don't fool me."
Barry chuckled silently.
A loud noise from their room broke their attention and Barry opened his eyes feeling nervous like a deer in a forest followed by hunters. Len noticed the halt in Barry's heart. Obviously Barry was going to need time to finally feel safe and peaceful again.
"It's probably the servants with the food..." Len added softly trying to calm the prince. "Come on Scarlet… let's go out…you need to eat."
Barry nodded and they quickly exited the pool and changed in to dry and warm clothes comfortable for sleeping. The royal quarters were dimly illuminated between the closed drapes. The servants laid the silver plates on the long table in the room. Barry grabbed Winter and he quickly climbed the four-poster bed and Len followed with the food. The King carefully seated next to Barry with a huge silver plate stacked with various kinds of food and two goblets full of wine. Barry could feel his mouth water. Barry grabbed some raspeberries. He loved them. Len took a sweet pastry and looked at Barry eating eager….well more like devouring all. The prince took a piece of bread with blueberry marmalade.
"Len…I've been wondering… how the hell you found out about Zoom and that I was on the Old temple…How did you find me?" Barry asked taking a bite of his bread.
"I will always find you Scarlet…." The King said hesitating about telling the whole truth to Barry, he was a little nervous to confess that he pried in to the Prince's personal belongings…but Barry kept looking at him expecting an answer. "I…maybe I opened your private chest and found your red torn tunic and asked Cisco to vibe it…we first tried to vibe you but our plan didn't work…so I remembered Cisco could vibe things."
"Well that explains a little why you all were acting so strange and why Lisa pushed Cisco in to the fountain." Barry said amused remembering all the weird moments and he laughed. "Oh Gods! Cisco's training! I knew it! You were all up to something!"
"Our plan clearly failed, but then with the tunic and with Cisco's vibe we later confirmed the information with Hannibal Bates that was working as Zoom's spy in the castle."
Barry nodded. "I'm sorry I didn't warn you about them…about Zoom and Hannibal too…"
"It's okay Barry… you did it for us… you decided to sacrifice yourself and your speed to keep us safe. That was really brave and… really, really… stupid."
"Sorry…" Barry said nibbling his bread. "It was the only way…"
"I know… It's okay… everything went better than expected…"
Barry lifted his head. "Better than expected?" he asked curious shifting on the bed to see Len directly to his blue eyes. "What did you expected?"
Len sighed at his own stupidity. He was digging his own grave. "Nothing."
"Don't lie to me Len… what did you expected?"
The King groaned. "Since when he started babbling like Barry and Felicity? Shit! It was like a disease and highly contagious." He sighed. "Cisco…he vibed me by accident and he saw me die… we knew how it was going to end or at least we thought we knew."
"He saw you die and he didn't stop you?" Barry repeated suddenly angry with Cisco.
"Scarlet it wasn't his fault. I ordered him to keep it a secret… I told him that I was willing to die for you."
Barry's heart skipped a beat and he swallowed hard. "Are you crazy Len?" Barry continued shocked. "The moment I thought you died you left me more hurt than you'll ever know…you left me alone…I was…so broken. You know how the loss of your loved one can be devastating Len!" Barry continued thinking in how lifeless and coldhearted he found Len after King Rory's death. "You knew and yet you decided to fight Zoom knowing that you were going to die…I would rather die than lose you… I can't live without you. I can't."
"I'm sorry Scarlet… but that anger at me is unfair! You were sacrificing yourself as well and I couldn't lose you too...I couldn't stay idle doing nothing while Zoom hurt you…while he abused you."
Barry's hazel eyes widened and he dropped his piece of bread to the bed and Winter started licking the blueberries.
"He told you…" Barry said mortified. A wave emotions flashed across the prince's face…anger, saddnes, shame… He didn't want Len to know about that. It made him feel sick and dirty…
"He might have mentioned it in our last fight…"
Barry covered his face ashamed. "Fuck…" Tears starting to stream from his eyes. "I tried to stop him…I swear…but I couldn't he just kept touching me… I didn't have my speed and I couldn't escape… I tried to fight him …I'm sorry Len...he…. I…"
"No wait…Scarlet wait...hey that wasn't your fault…I'm the one that is sorry Barry." Len said moving to wrap his arm over Barry. He needed to hold the trembling prince. Assure him that everything was going to be all right.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you." The King murmured ashamed. "It was all my fault…I was too slow. I'm sorry for mentioning the subject Scarlet I just want you to feel that you can talk to me and that I don't think less of you. You are the best thing that has happened to me and I will be here for you… always…you are not alone. Whatever you need…time, space, hugs, kisses…food you mention it and I will give it to you…I need you to know that we are in this together."
The prince's strong façade shattered. Barry was suddenly crying unsteady, breaking down in to Len's arms. Len could feel all of Barry's buried pain finally unleashing. There was a heartbreaking rawness in Barry's cries. The pain of the last few days was like an open wound that needed to heal…slowly… but it would definitely heal.
"Everything is going to be all right…" Len murmured silently. "I love you so much…"
Barry nodded a little ashamed of crying. "Sorry…it's just that I was so afraid…I was suddenly in a deal with no escape, I let him use me to protect you and our friends and….I didn't know what to do…and then you almost died and Zoom abused me and then you were truly dead… at the end I was so tired…I honestly wanted Hunter to kill me… I wanted to die….I just wanted to be with you."
"Barry… I'm so sorry… I promise you that from now on everything is going to get better. We will leave this darkness behind us. We will move on…I will make it up to you…I have a plan."
Barry scoffed drying his tears with the palm of his hands. "Your plans are terrible Len…"
"No…they aren't."
"Yes they are…don't get me started on the idea of training Cisco…"
"This won't be that terrible and I think you are going to really like it."
That piqued the Prince's interest. "Really?" Barry hummed intrigued. "Tell me…"
Len smirked. "Not telling…it's a surprise Scarlet."
"What? You are evil… don't tease me like that…now I really need to know." Barry lifted his head to see the King's blue eyes.. "Please… tell me."
Len leaned to rest their foreheads together and Barry smiled blushing almost melting.
"Not telling Scarlet…I will show you after the wedding."
"After the wedding?! Len! That's so unfair…" Barry pouted a little bit annoyed. "I'm going to die of curiosity."
"You won't…and don't be impatient Scarlet." Len said leaning to press the tip of his nose against Barry's red nose from crying.
"I will have to wait a week! A week…that's almost a lifetime."
"That's true…a long beautiful slow week."
"You are the worst…"
Len smirked. "No I'm not…"
"Yes you are…but I swear I'm going to find out one way or another before the wedding." The Prince said slowly stealing a soft kiss and then cuddling in to Len, resting his head over the King's chest, hearing the rhythmic heart beating at the same speed of his heart. He closed his eyes and the King kissed Barry's head tenderly. Barry slowly fell asleep and Len sighed at the rest of the food discarded… well discarded by Barry because Winter was having a feast. He smiled and tightened his embrace on Barry and closed his eyes.
It was late in the afternoon when Len heard a loud knock on the wooden door of their room. Len lazily opened his eyes and saw Barry still asleep over his chest and the white bull of fur over Barry. Len slowly lifted his arm and tried to untuck it away from the prince without waking him up. His arm was tingling and felt heavy and numb after remaining in the same position for a long time. After the slow process of untangling silently from Barry he swiftly got out of the bed and answered the persisting knocks on the door.
"Lenny!"
"Sis… Cisco…" Len said looking curiously at them. "Something wrong?"
Lisa smiled extremely excited. "Not at all… you have a visitor and he is waiting for you in the studio."
Len raised his eyebrows. He wasn't expecting anyone. "Who is it?"
"The jeweler."
