A/N: Thanks again for your comments! I'm still waiting about the finals comments from my friend who look at my grammar but I'll gonna take a chance to send it to you anyway because you guys are so great. I hope it's not too bad. I'll update it later once I receive the corrections.

SnowyDoves: Don't be so hard on yourself! Sure it was still good. And it's my first Flash and english fiction (my first language is french), but it's not my first story.

Silver's Dream100 : I love your theory! All I can say is that all of you know the answer to that double Barry mystery.


The ringing of his cell phone was the sound that woke Cisco up. Still half asleep, he searched for his phone with his eyes closed, searching it with his hand, hitting the wrong spot couple of times before touching his target. He barely opened his eye to look at the clock: 7am. That was too early. He couldn't remember yet what happened last night, only that he felt like someone who didn't sleep much. Was he drinking with Barry and Caitlin last night?

'Hello'' he answered with his sleepy voice.

'Cisco! Please come, he's…he's …'' The distress, the pain, the tears in Iris' voice woke up totally this time. He sat up on the end in one quick movement.

'Iris! What's wrong?'

He could hear her crying, barely keeping it together at the other end of the line.

'It's Barry…he's…oh god'

She couldn't keep talking, sobbing. Every memory of the last few day came back.

'Iris! Talk to me. Where are you?''

'At S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry's bod…it's here. In…in…cortex…Oh my god'

Cisco was already jumping out of bed and starting to get dressed.

'Stay with me, alright? Are you alone?'

He waited for a long time, hearing her trying to get her voice back into control.

'Yes'

'Alright, get out of the room and call Joe. I'm coming. I'll be there in less than 10 minutes. '

Cisco didn't even remember getting out of his bedroom and leaving his apartment. He found himself in front of his building before he knew what was happening, waiting. He didn't have to wait long until Caitlin's car pulled over in front of him. Her hairs all undone, going in all directions, dressed in jean and a hoodie. Who would've guessed she even had that in her closet? She clearly just took the quickest thing she could get her hands on.

Couple of minutes later they finally arrived at the lab. They arrived to a heartbreaking scene outside the cortex; Joe holding his crying and shaking daughter as tight as he could, having himself his eyes full of tears. Neither of them noticed the new arrival until Cisco gently putted his hand on Joe's shoulder. The detective looked up with the look of a destroyed man, a man who lost everything.

The engineer and Caitlin exchanged a look, before slowly approaching the door to take a sneak peek at the Cortex. Not really wanting to see what was in there, but knowing they needed to do it for Joe and Iris' sake. The first thing they noticed was a blanket on the ground covering the shape of a body, Second thing; Jay was back and was kneeling next to the blanket.

Caitlin needed to be sure. She slowly approached the covered body and reached it with shaking fingers. She revealed enough to get a glimpse at the dead, bloody, beaten face. It was enough to make her stomach turned and felt last night diner coming back with a revenge. Keeping everything in, she let go of the blanket like it was burning her.

Jay helped her get up and get how of the room with everyone else. They all needed to take a breather.

The long silence was finally broken after…who knows how much time passed? Time seemed broken since that fateful morning.

'Iris', started Cisco, 'what were you doing here?'

Iris moved away from her dad, getting a grip on herself for the first time since she discovered the body,

'You guy weren't answering on your phones, I wanted to know how you guys were. I'm sorry I let you down for so long. I know it's hard for you too.'

'Don't worry about that' answered Caitlin, putting a supportive hand on her friend's shoulder.

Iris looked about to say something when she was cut by Cisco's voice:

'But, I gotta ask, how is it even possible? I mean, the cops found his…him, in the river yesterday right?''. He was looking directly at Joe for that question.

'Yeah, sorry about that. It wasn't him in the river. It was another young man. But I was too disturbed and exhausted, I came home directly after that.'

Alright, but how did Barry's dead body ended in the cortex?

*FLASHFLASHFLASH*

Barry scream filled the room as a knife buried itself in his thigh without any warning. Not that he was expecting any after more than 2 days of torture. Or was it experience? Hard to tell the difference since his captor was barely speaking with him.

'Let's see how long it takes to heal this time.'

Barry's captor smiled as she slowly turned the knife in his leg. Annoyed by the unstopped screaming, she slapped the speedster as hard as she could. It worked, the screaming stopped, but a silent tear appears and slowly made his way down Flash's bloody face. Barry tried to be strong, he did, but he couldn't. He never felt so vulnerable, so weak, so disoriented in his life. Maybe it had something to do with all the drugs in his system.

Everything was hurting and yet everything was feeling numb at the same time. He was feeling hot and yet he was feeling his body shaking, shivering.

'My fri…en…..found you'

'No they won't, they're not even looking for you'

Barry's mind froze at that answer. What was that supposed to mean? What did she do with his friends? Did she hurt Iris? Caitlin? Joe? Cisco? His body shivered again, but this time it wasn't because of the cold.

*FLASHFLASHFLASH*

Joe's gaze was going on and off between Jay and the corpse, between his son's corpse and Jay. They couldn't just leave it on the ground like that. Understanding the message, Jay walked back into the cortex with Joe to him. Together, they took Barry's body from the ground, leaving the blanket on, and took it in the med bay, putting it on the bed the speedster used so often in his short life as a hero.

While they were putting him down, one arm decided it was time fall on the side. Dropping out of the blanket's covert, like in a bad horror movie. Seeing it the first, Cisco was the first to reach it. He grabbed the frozen limb and was about to hide it back when he suddenly stopped moving all together.

He wasn't moving, his entire face looks like he was somewhere else. At first, Joe thought it was because of the horrible feeling of touching his dead best friend, but it was something more.

'Cisco…Cisco? Are you ok? Cisco!'

'Oh my god…Barry is alive!'

'What?!' was the answer he got from everyone in the lab.
