Author's Note: Soo...while I have writers block on Young Justice, I need to update this one and my other stories...so, let's get going!
Summary: After Barry found out who the twins are, he has even more questions. Meanwhile, upon hearing that his plan with the twins had failed, Inertia decides to go to the present.
Chapter 8: Back to the present
Barry stared with wide eyes with a look of stun and disbelief.
"You...twins...kids..." he said, incoherently.
He was surprised that he didn't fainted yet, considering how many things are going all at once.
"I..." Barry paused, feeling his throat go dry. He shook his head, taking a step back a bit.
"I'm sorry. I have to go."
Overwhelmed, the speedster walked off, leaving the kids to state after him with a sad look. They would've thought he would've been happy...
Noticing the crestfallen look, Caitlin gave a soft smile.
"Don't worry. He's a bit overwhelmed right now. He first found out that he had a grandson and now he has kids so its a lot for one person to take. He'll get better, you'll see."
:(/\):
A person walked in, revealing Joe.
"Hey, Barry. The captain wants that substance from two days ago be at his desk. It should've been already analyzed and on his desk. He's losing patience."
"Yeah well you're not who's slowly losing his sanity right now. I'm sorry, Joe. I have a lot of things going on."
"Yeah no kidding. With that Inertia and the grandson." he paused. "How's he doing anyway?"
"Uh he's fine but I think he's stressed out from that maniac that keeps causing trouble."
Joe gave a thoughtful look as he nodded his head in agreement. "Trouble is right." he muttered.
He then studied his adopted son who was running his hands through his hair.
"Something else is bothering you too. What is it?"
Barry started to speak but Joe went first.
"Don't try to hide it. I know."
"I...well...ever since I found out I had a grandson, things went downhill. Don't get me wrong; having a grandson is great and all but then when we went to the Future...Joe, I can't describe it. Its just terrible."
Joe could see that his son was going to have a mental breakdown and he was trying to keep himself together.
"I found out by Bart and he told me...he told me..." Barry blinked away the furious tears that were threateningly to fall.
"I found out that Wally died and I disappeared. And when I came back, I just discovered that I have kids...twins...that are from the future. My wife is Iris..."
As he was telling him, Joe can't help but to give a disbelieving look while also giving him a stunned look.
"Are you serious...? Kids...Iris...twins?" Joe managed to say, his eyes wide.
Barry nodded, the feeling of overwhelm coming back.
"What else do I not know?"
"I...I don't know Barry..." Joe tightened his jaw. "Have you talked to the...um...to your kids yet?"
It felt really awkward to say that.
The speedster shook his head. "No, not really. I kind of just left them, leaving them back in S.T. lab with Cisco and Caitlin. I'm pretty sure they feel terrible right now."
Joe made an incredulous look. "You left them?" he exclaimed. "Naturally, they would feel terrible because their own father left them! I know you're feeling stressed and overwhelmed but you should talk to them...find out more about them. Make a bond. I think its also a good idea to talk to Iris about this too."
"I know. I've been planning to."
As if on cue, Iris walked in, carrying a notepad and she looked furious.
"I need help."
"Iris, we need to talk." Barry stated.
:(/\):
Inertia gave a hard stare, being in deep in thought.
He realized his plan with the twins had failed. That much he knew.
And he was all because of that forsaken speedster that came from the past.
Otherwise, if he hadn't come, he would've succeeded.
He scoffed. He found it hard to believe that the Impulse kid belonged to the older speedster...
The older one was much more experienced, more better and faster.
Impulse had little of that...
But no matter...
Things will change. Inertia would make sure of that...
With a cruel smile, a plan had already been made his sadistic mind.
He's going to pay the a visit to the past.
It wouldn't hurt...
It wouldn't hurt at all.
Author's Note: Well there you have it ^^ more trouble rises for the flashes. What would Inertia do in the past other than to cause trouble of course? :p Find out!
