A/N: Hey! Sorry for not sticking to my every week plan, but there is a reason. The first is that, with school now in session, I have realized how short a week actually is. Second, I am working on a super-secret project as a sort of a "spin-off" for this story that will also be taking writing time. Priority will come to this, however, as what I am working on will be long episodes with no real upload schedule. Ideally, I will be announcing it in a month or so. My schedule will hopefully be every week and a half, although that may change depending on how that plays out. Anyways, I hope you enjoy Chapter seven of "Resurrection"! Disclaimer: I do not own DC or CW, or any of its shows and characters.

When Barry arrived back at S.T.A.R Labs, Cisco and Caitlin were sitting at the desk, staring at the computers, stunned.

"Uhh, guys?" No response. "Hello?"

"How - how were you going that fast?" Caitlin asked. "And how did your body not fizzle out of existence?"

"40 years of training with the thing that gives me my speed does wonders for it."

"Dude. This. Is. AMAZING! I mean, you were going faster than the speed of light! Way faster than it!" Cisco said, turning to look at Barry, face showing pure awe.

"Yeah. It feels amazing. Wanna see?" Barry smirked before grabbing both Cisco and Caitlin and running around the earth about 100 times. It took him about 5 seconds. When He ran back to the cortex and set them down in the center of the room. Cisco stumbled and fell, as did Caitlin. Barry ran and caught both of them. After she realized what just happened, she pointed to the med bay.

"Tests. Now." Caitlin instructed. Barry chuckled and walked over to the bed and sat down."Get back into your clothes-"

She was cut off by Barry's clothes changing in an instant as if his suit and his clothes just swapped places.

"Oh. Okay. Take off your shirt." Barry did so as Caitlin started placing electrodes on him. However, she stopped before she could place the first one. She stepped back and saw a torso full of scars and burns.

"What happened?"

"Years and years of war." Caitlin looked up at him in pity. After a second, she resumed her work and began running tests.

"Hey, guys! I might be able to make something to harness your energy!" Cisco piped from the other room. "You are creating so much energy now that I might be able to make something that will act as a reserve for speed. This means that if you are out of energy or need someone that isn't a speedster to help out, they can temporarily harness the speed force as well."

"Cool. When do you think it will be ready?"

"I'm not sure, But I'll tell you when it is," Cisco said. Barry nodded and turned his head back to Caitlin, who was about to draw blood.

"Anything interesting yet?" Barry asked Caitlin.

"I won't know until I test your blood. However, your heart rate is faster than even our machines can count, so that's something." Caitlin finalized the blood test. "Alright. While we wait for this, we should go over to the speed lab." Barry nodded and stood up. He grabbed onto Caitlin and ran to the speed lab. He set her down, but this time she wasn't as disoriented.

"Wow. You know, now that I'm not dizzy from that big run from earlier, I can see why you love running so much."

"Yeah. It's freeing." Barry responded, walking up to the track and getting ready to run.

"Wait! Shouldn't you change first so you don't burn up your clothes?"

"No. The speed force protects me from that."

"Alright," Caitlin said, "Get ready! And... GO!" Barry ran. He ran as fast as he could, not even leaving behind a gust of wind. He turned into a small blur, no lightning, no form, just light. Caitlin looked at the speedometer. It had maxed out at 999999 mph. Caitlin was once-again dumbfounded by the numbers in front of her. She set the test to run for 5 minutes. She sat back and watched the faint red circle that was stationary on the track. Soon, however, her awe was turned back to horror as she remembered the man that Barry had killed. The sheer brutality of the killing, the gore, all of it was burned into her mind. She must have been deep in thought, as in what felt like another second, the test was over and Barry was beside her, shaking her.

"Cait! CAITLIN!" Barry finally reached her, as she jumped and turned to look at Barry. When she looked, she didn't see the sweet and loving Barry from before. No, she saw a killer. It was just like the night before. Her face was frozen in fear, almost scaring Barry just as much.

"Hey, hey, hey... what's wrong?" Barry asked, attempting to make his voice sound soothing. Caitlin closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Sorry, it's just... I can't get the sight of that man out of my eyes. The one that you killed." Barry drew in a long breath and slowly shook his head.

"Yeah. It's not easy living with seeing those things. You never really get used to it, but you do get used to the feeling. I take it that my philosophy on killing that I told you isn't sitting right with you?" Caitlin hesitated for a moment but then responded.

"Not really. I mean, I get it. After seeing what you've seen, you want to make sure that it doesn't happen again. However, I just... I feel like there's always a better way."

"Not always. Listen, I understand that killing won't ever sit right with you, just as it wouldn't me if I hadn't seen what I have. And like I said, I will try to minimise it, but it will be happening. I'm sorry."

"I know. I'm just not hardened like you or Oliver. It's haunting me."

"Yeah." Barry chuckled, "Tragedy tends to do that. We both know what that feels like, huh?" Caitlin smiled and hung her head. After a moment, the terminal in front of her beeped.

"Oh! The blood test is done!" Caitlin shot up, doctor mode kicking in. She began walking out of the room, but Barry grabbed her and brought her to the med-bay before she could take two steps. She was finally getting used to having a speedster to run her places like before, so she didn't stumble. She ran over to the computer and began checking the results.

"Well, your blood is just as healthy and is regenerating at an enormous rate. Let me check the speed force levels..." Caitlin trailed off as she looked at the results. The amount of speed force in his cells was amazing.

"Well, what is it?" Barry asked.

"Cisco! Come look at this!" Caitlin called. Footsteps were heard as he approached the computer.

"What's going on...Woah." Cisco said with the same tone as Caitlin.

"What is it? What do you see?"

"That," Caitlin began, "Is your cells no longer harnessing the speed force. That is them controlling, manipulating it. I mean, the amount of speed force in your body is insane!" Barry looked shocked at the revelation. He knew that he now manipulated the speed force, but he didn't know how much was in his blood.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Barry said, "Being back here has distracted me from my training. I need to do a session."

"Where do you plan on training?" Cisco asked.

"There was an old training ground that first started using back when I started my work for the speed force. It's near the nexus... You guys don't know what that is. Sorry. Anyways, it's a place in the speed force where I trained. I need to go back."

"Wait, you're going back to the speed force?! What if something happens and we need you here?" Caitlin asked, slightly nervous about Barry returning to the place that held him captive for 40 years, just as Cisco felt nervous too.

"You'll be fine. You have Wally and Jesse. Besides, I'm not going away for that long again. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Barry said just as he sped off to the pipeline. He ran around it until a portal opened and he ran into it.

Barry stopped inside the speed force cortex. Inside of it was Harry.

"Hello, Barry. It's been a while."

"For me, maybe. I need to get to my old training grounds. Don't think I've forgotten 40 years of discipline." Barry said with a smirk.

"Of course, Barry." Harry gestured to his right where a portal opened. Barry nodded and stepped through the portal.

Barry arrived in a large building. The other hunters referred to it as the Watchtower. All across the building, you could see glimpses of different universes. Barry, however, was only interested in one thing. Because he was the best hunter out of the rest, he was given own training grounds where he could train to his heart's content. At least, until it was time for his next assignment. Barry turned to a wall and spoke the code word.

"Wraith," Barry stated, as he watched the wall open up and reveal an elevator. Barry stepped in and told the computer where to go from the list in front of him. The list had things from "Bar" to "Bed", and from "Armory" to "Lab." However, Barry picked the top of the list.

"Training," Barry spoke as the elevator started moving. After a few seconds, he arrived at the correct floor. As he stepped out, he took in the sights around him. It was a large room, about the size of a warehouse. Directly in front of the entrance was a rack with equipment on it. A spare speed force suit was sitting there. Barry threw it on and looked at his surroundings. First was a track for him to run on. It contained a computer that was able to replicate any form of obstacle, from different environments to meta-human or alien abilities. Then was a robot-looking figure with strange clothing on it. Barry was once told that telekinetics and Dark energy wielders were able to create these robots that can replicate meta-human abilities, allowing you to train on avoiding different abilities. There were a few other things in the room, but Barry only used the track and the robot unless something needed heavy training.

Barry ran over to the computer on the track and set it to do a full training session. This included about 30 seconds in every environment, along with varying meta-human abilities that could slow him down, such as cold or turtle powers. He then ran over to the robot and set it to sparring mode, which would put the user up against an opponent with their same abilities and experience. He then brought the robot to the track and started both programs at once, fighting the robot while also going through the track.

After many hours of training, Barry stepped off of the track and shut down the robot. He removed his suit, grabbed his clothes and stepped into the elevator. He instructed it to go to the bedroom, where there was a shower. He stepped out of the elevator, washed, threw on his clothes, and returned to the nexus. He ran over to the S.T.A.R. Labs cortex and found Cisco there.

"I'm done training," Barry stated. Cisco moved around and spoke.

"Good. I take it you want to return home?"

"Yes. Put me where I would be if time were passing naturally."

"Of course. See you soon, Barry." Cisco said, smiling. Barry simply nodded as he stepped through the portal.

Barry returned to S.T.A.R. Labs just where he left, in the pipeline. Barry sped to the roof of the Labs to look over the city. At this point, it was night time, and the city was alive. Barry sat down and watched. It had been so long since he was able to really look at a city without thinking tactically.

Barry wasn't sure how long he was sitting there, but eventually, the door behind him busted open.

"Barry! Come down to the cortex, now!" Cisco shouted. Barry turned around, looking at Cisco with a confused face, before speeding them both down to the cortex. Inside was nearly every member of team Flash. Wally, Jesse, Caitlin, Cisco, Harry, and Iris. Barry immediately noticed Joe's absence.

"Where's Joe?" Barry asked the team. They all immediately turned to face him. One face stood out, however. Iris was balling her eyes out. Wally was beside her, attempting to comfort her, but he had a face just as pained. Before anyone could say anything, Barry learned the answer. Rage began to boil inside of him, rushing through his veins much like his speed. Something had happened to Joe, and he was too busy training to save him. Barry turned to run but stopped just after he was facing away from them. That rage coursing through his veins fueled his speed, causing him to uncontrollably vibrate his voice. Barry glanced back at them.

"Where is he?" Barry asked, voice slow and deep, being vibrated to the point of intimidation. He had last used this voice on his last mission for the speed force.

"At his house. He-" Wally wasn't able to finish his sentence before Barry ran off to find Joe.

A/N: There is Chapter seven! I'm sorry that it's shorter than the previous two, but I wanted to get this out ASAP to get out the word of the longer schedual. I hoped you enjoyed, and as always please leave a review. Thanks!
