Author's Note: As you can see, I've been busy with putting out new stories even though I shouldn't but that's alright…and I can't believe we have to wait until Fall for season three of Flash to come /sigh/ let's get going!

Summary: Upon the arrival, Inertia decides to visit the Flashes personally. While still in the Future, Barry receives horrendous news.

Chapter 6: Horrendous News

"Bart, move!" Barry commanded. He scrambled up and shoved Bart out of the way just as they released their attacks. They fell to the ground and stared at the intruders.

Their bodies were red while the bottom part spun like a child's top.

"Wh—who are they?" the older Flash asked.

Impulse shrugged. "I don't know."

"They are known as the Tornado Twins. They weren't supposed to be evil…wonder what caused them be one." the man muttered."

"Well, in any case we need to stop them." Barry said, getting up.

"Maybe we can try talking to them and see if that will erase the evilness?" Bart suggested.

"Uh, I don't think that will—wait, Bart…what are you doing?" Barry exclaimed.

Bart walked up to them and wore a weary look. He admits it. Just by looking at the two, it made him feel intimidated. "Um…hi? I'm assuming you were never evil before and perhaps Inertia had manipulated you but if you let us—"

Impulse never got the chance to finish his "speech" since the one of the twins let out his attack. Bart got the impact and flew backwards, crashing into nearby chairs. He groaned from the blow and barely got up.

"Well, that didn't work." Bart moaned.

"Yeah, you don't say." Barry said. He then looked at the man. "Alright, Chief. What's the plan?"

The man gave the red speedster a strange look. "They have the power to create and manipulate energy to transform them into something solid. However, that will require a lot of concentration and therefore, attack them at that point."

"How will I know when they are going to use it?"

"You will see."

"Right, then." Barry paused. "You planning to camp here for the night or are you coming?" he asked Bart.

Bart blinked, slightly being taken off by surprise. But nonetheless, he grinned silly and nodded.

"Try and stop me."

Barry grinned before he gave them a glance at the twins. "You guys want us? Come and get us."

With that, Barry and Bart zoomed out of the house. Not too soon, the twins followed after them. The two speedsters zipped through the city here and there. When they came at a deserted alleyway, they stopped to a halt but Bart was panting heavily as catching up with his grandfather was exhausting.

"That was some fine running." Barry said, grinning.

"Yeah…right…" Bart panted.

"Look out from above!" Barry suddenly exclaimed. As though everything went in slow motion, Barry quickly sped over to his grandson to move out of the harm's way and then the huge boulder made Barry have little time to react and the huge rock came crashing down, hitting Barry in the process.

Barry grunted in pain when his back got smacked against a brick wall. He groaned in pain as he was being dazed and he tried to regain himself back in order. Not too soon, the two twins came whirring in, still wearing the menacing look.

"Barry!" Bart cried out then angrily glared at the twins. Eyes flashing with determination, he took his stance and then sped towards them.

"No, Bart!" he yelled.

Halfway through his path, Bart stopped but his speed was still around him. He then spun himself around, having the power of the speed follow his movements and then once it was charged, Bart let go of the charged attack and sent it straight to the two enemies which knocked them back.

Eyes wide, Barry stumbled forward and joined Impulse.

"H—how did you do the lightning bolt throw?" he asked.

Bart gave a weak smile. "You taught me that."

"I did?" he quizzed, eyes wide.

Bart nodded. "Yeah and you also taught me a lot of other things too."

Meanwhile, the tornado twins got up and their eyes still glowed frighteningly.

Eyes flashing with speed, Barry got ready to fight them as they did too. And then, the four people started to race one another. It was actually impressive for Barry to find out that these twins can run just as fast as they can—maybe just a little faster but Barry couldn't help but to have this sensation that he knew these two from somewhere.

As they came closer, Barry brought his powered up fist forward so that he could release his attack and it seemed that male tornado twin had the exact same movement. When their fists touched one another, something flashed before them and it made them pause for temporarily as a small image flashed before their eyes.

"Dad!" a voice exclaimed. "Save me!"

"I'm coming! Don't worry. I'm coming to save you! I promise."

Another explosion came which worried the elderly person.

"Dad!"

"NO!"

Barry gasped from breath as the explosion struck, knocking all of them backwards. They all stumbled back, trying to either regain their breaths or their balance.

"What? What just happened? What was that flashback?" Barry gasped, eyes wide.

"What flashback?"

"You…you didn't saw…it?"

Impulse gave a strange look at him and shook his head. "No…"

This only made Barry's confusion grow even more. Exactly what was that about? Who was that troubled person and why did that person called him dad?

And then, the two twins caught up, powering up their bottoms like a top so that they spun around.

Eyes narrowed, Barry and Bart got up, ready to fight. "Get ready."

"It's been fun, Flash." the female twin said. "But we got more business to do."

"The Future's fun and all but I think it would even be more fun if we went somewhere a little more presentable." the male said.

Like that, the two twins spun away and in a flash, they were gone.

"What? What do they mean a little more presentable?" Bart asked. "What are they going to do? And where?"

It didn't took seconds for Barry to figure it out since he spoke. "They're going back to the present."

Bart widened his eyes. "Oh, no. We gotta go. We've got to stop them. Barry, are you coming?"

"Uh…it's just that…when we made contact…I felt as though I knew them from before but I don't know where and when. Everything's just got confusing. This is why I dislike travelling to the Future because things will either be complicated or just plain confusing."

"Yeah…" Bart muttered. "Well, there's nothing we can do. We have got to go back."

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." a demonic voice said. Just by hearing that voice, it made Bart shiver from the coldness and the two whirled around only to see a shadow in the darkness.

Slowly but surely, the newcomer started to come out of the darkness with an insane look as he creepily came out of the darkness; an sinister look etched onto his messed up face.

"Hello there, Impulse."

AFTER THE BREAK-IN IN S.T.A.R.S lab

Caitlin placed her hands above her head as the rocks tumbled beside her. A small rock came and this one managed to give a scratch on her hand.

"Halt! I've got a weapon and I'm not afraid to use it!" Cisco proclaimed. The Tornado Twins gave a look as the strange human being started to mutter angrily, hitting at the device that wouldn't budge.

"Anytime now, Cisco." Caitlin said, backing away as the enemies came closer.

"This won't work! Ah, damn it!" he threw the machine away and stuck his hand out so that a blast of waves shot out, striking the two people backwards. "Go! Gogogogogo!"

"We need Barry."

"Obviously, he's not here."

Just then, another familiar breeze zoomed in and this made the two halt in their tracks.

"Someone called?"

Cisco blinked at the Flash costume. "You're not Barry, Wally."

Wally fidgeted a little. "Yeah, well. I've still got the speed, haven't I?"

"I suppose…"

"Right then, leave it to me." Wally replied, cracking his hands as he went forward.

"This is going to be bad."

"Hey, Tornado heads! Over here!"

The twins came into the view and glared threateningly at Wally who had his eyes wide.

"You never told me they can fly!"

Cisco gave a look at somewhere else before he started going backwards. "Er…good luck!"

And the two ran away.

"Cisco!" Wally yelled. He nervously gave a glance at the intruders. "Um, hi?"

And as a result, this earned Wally be blasted backwards from their attacks. He moaned, noting at the fact that they don't like to talk.

All of a sudden, they started to glow their respective color which was red and in front of them, an object started to materialize.

Wally blinked, giving a confused look. "The heck…?"

"Wally, attack them! They are making an object of their powers and it takes a lot of concentration, hence making their weak point. Attack now before it's too late!" Cisco said through his ear com of the suit.

"Uh…Uh…" Wally then started to run around in circles with full speed. It was too fast for anyone to catch where he is. He gave a quick glance and saw that from the Twin's power he was able to see the object to appear and so he ran even faster.

Come on…come on.

He hoped that as he ran, his speed would reach them and would electrocute them, not having them to be able to handle the power more than they should. At last, Wally felt that he was charged up and then he threw the fully charged lightning bolt at the twins.

"Ha! I got them!"

The twins shrieked from the electrifying circuits of their suit and small sparks started to zap out. Just then, something appeared in mid-air like a portal and out of the portal, came out a figure who made a powerful punch at the twins since they crashed backwards.

Not too soon, another figure came but he stumbled from behind and the portal closed. Meanwhile, Cisco and Caitlin peeked out of their hiding spots and saw at the two newcomers.

"Barry!"

Upon hearing his name, Barry turned around only to have them freeze. They saw his face being pale stricken and he looked like he didn't want to believe something.

"Woah, Barry. What happened?" Caitlin asked, worried.

"Wally…" Barry stammered. "Wally…he's…he's…" he collapsed to his knees, hugging himself as tears poured down his face.

Bart looked solemn while Wally looked just as confused. He is here so why does Barry look so broken?

Knowing that Wally is here, Bart brought his arms over his chest as he looked away. "In the Future…Wally…is dead…"

:(/\):

BEFORE THEY MADE BACK TO THE PRESENT

Barry gave a puzzling look at the newcomer. Something about him was odd. He looked sort of familiar…looked sort of like…Bart but in a twisted evil way.

Bart clenched his fist, eyes narrowed and glared angrily at the figure, knowing exactly who he is.

"What do you want?" he said, coldly.

Right from the start, Barry could feel that he was a bad guy and not just by from his cold, cruel laugh.

"Nothing much." he sneered. "I just came to visit you after I've heard of your arrivals." he then gave a glance at Barry. "And I see that you had brought someone with you."

"I'm sorry but who are you? And why do you look like Bart?"

The person gave a sigh. "And he's obviously too thick to not have things figured out. But since he asked…the name's Inertia…an evil clone of Bart."

"What…?" Barry turned to Bart who was staring at the floor. "You never told me about this. You only mentioned him but never said anything else. Why?"

"It doesn't matter anyway."

"Oh! Ho oh! I see a lack of trust!" he gleamed, madly. "Trust is so hard to come by, isn't it?"

"Why are you here, Inertia? You usually have your…minions to do your dirty work." Bart said, angrily.

He grinned in a sadistic way. "Haven't I told you? I merely came here for a visit, just to see you personally. Just to have a small talk." he paused, having his head lean to the side. "And you know…you Flashes won't last much longer. One of you is already dead." he said, gleefully.

"What do you mean?" Barry asked.

Inertia locked eyes on the shaking Bart who was ready to knock the guy into the next century.

Literally.

"You haven't told him? I suppose I should have the honor to tell him." he said, cruelly.

Bart took a step forward. "Don't."

Inertia licked his mouth while giving out a small cold laugh. "Your speedster…your cousin…Wally…Wally is dead."

Author's Note: Dun dun dun…and I could see Bart going in an anger rampaging mood, knocking out the daylights out of Inertia…I would to but finally, I've finished this chapter. It was a struggle; I apologize for taking forever but I did it! *confettis* and now time to update my other one…I HOPE THIS CHAPTER WASN'T TOO CONFUSING! Toodles!
