Hey, my loyal readers. Back with yet another chapter.

I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter. This one won't be near as long, or as exciting. But, I hope you still like it.

willdawg992003: Tony did design the suit to not be able to be deactivated, so people couldn't use such a feature against Barry. Plus, Barry had Jocasta, which I think would help stop any attempt by Tony to shut him down. And on top of that, I think Tony was distracted by the fight going than and wasn't really thinking about trying to shut down the suit.

Chapter 24- Aftermath

Barry slowly opens his eyes, feeling rotten. After a moment, he finally gets his eyes open. The light is a bit blinding at first, then his vision clears.

For a moment, Barry takes in his surroundings. Then, he sits bolt upright.

He's in a prison cell. He's wearing a blue prison outfit. And fitted around his neck is a collar.

Barry tries to run and phase through the bars, but quickly realizes he can't. With alarm, he realizes the collar is for nullifying his powers.

Barry walks up to the bars and looks around. He sees his cell is one out of about half a dozen. Looking across the room, he's shocked to see the water-man he fought during the conflict with Savitar, also wearing a collar.

Barry looks around him. He can't believe this. When he joined the police, he knew he would be helping send people to prison. He never thought he'd be sent to prison himself.

Suddenly the door to the room opens. Barry looks over and sees Ross walk into the room. Barry glares at Ross, not even trying to hide his hatred for the man.

"Hello, Mr. Allen. Good to see you're awake," Ross says.

"Do me a favor, Ross, and get out of my sight," Barry growls.

Ross smirks a bit as he walks up to Barry's cell. "I may have wanted to see your friends brought here, but you were the real prize," he says.

Barry glares even more at Ross and slams his fists against the bars. "What is your problem with me, Ross? Why do I get worse treatment than my team?" Barry demands.

Ross smirks before glaring back at Barry. "It's because of you that that speedster Savitar came to this Earth, and turned me into his mindless crony. He threatened this entire country, and if you'd failed, lots of people would've died. You're more powerful than perhaps any of the other Avengers. You have the potential to become a very dangerous threat. And after the fiasco with Savitar, and your refusal to comply with the Accords, I do not trust you one bit, Mr. Allen. You're lucky you've managed to stay out of this cell this long." He continues to stare at Barry for another moment before turning and walking out of the cell block.

Barry glares after Ross. Even after everything the Reverse Flash, Zoom, and Savitar did to him, he hates Ross in a way he never hated them.

(New Avengers Facility)

Tony and Natasha stand on a balcony, looking out at the grounds. Tony has just told Natasha the extent of Rhodey's injuries.

"Steve's not gonna stop. If you don't either, Rhodey's gonna be the best case scenario," Natasha says.

"You let them go, Nat," Tony says accusingly.

"We played this wrong," Natasha says.

"We?" Tony scoffs. He looks out at the grounds for a moment before saying, "It must be hard to shake the whole double agent thing. Sticks in the DNA."

Natasha stares at Tony for a moment before demanding, "Are you incapable of letting go of your ego for one g****** second? And are you so blinded by your guilt that you will let a man like Ross determine who gets fair treatment and who doesn't?"

Tony just stands there, knowing she's referring to his decision to not defend Barry. After a few moments, he turns to Natasha and says, "T'Challa told Ross what you did. So...they're coming for you."

"I'm not the one that needs to watch their back. And don't think I'm gonna forget soon what you did to Allen," Natasha says before stalking away. Tony stares after her, not having realized how much she cared about Barry.

Suddenly, his watch starts beeping. Tony presses a button, and a picture of a dead man pops up.

"What am I looking at, FRIDAY?" Tony asks.

"Priority upload from Berlin police," FRIDAY responds.

Tony looks over it and the information being displayed for a moment. Then he looks up and says, "Fire up the chopper."

As Tony leaves the facility and heads towards the helipad where a Stark Industries helicopter is waiting, a blue portal suddenly opens up in front of him. Tony stops, wary.

Then, a streak of lightning comes out and stops in front of him, revealing two people. One is a Latino man dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, with strange gloves and goggles on. The other is an older white man, wearing a uniform with blue pants, and red jacket with a yellow lightning bolt on the front, and a helmet with wings on the side.

Tony readies himself to summon a gauntlet to him as he demands, "Who are you?"

The Latino guy reaches up and removes his goggles. He looks right at Tony and says, "I'm Cisco Ramon. And this is Jay Garrick. We're here to find a colleague of ours. Barry Allen."

Tony looks at the two of them, not sure how to respond. Finally, he looks at Cisco and says, "I know Barry. And he's told me who you are, Cisco." He then turns to the other guy and says, "But, I haven't heard the name Jay Garrick."

"I'm the Flash on Earth-3. I'm a friend of Barry's, and have been helping look for him," Jay responds.

"You said you know Barry. Can you help us find him? Can you tell us where he is? We've been looking for him for two weeks? Iris is going out of her mind," Cisco says.

Tony looks at Cisco, several thoughts running through his head. The first one being, Oh, Iris. She ain't gonna react well when she hears about Allen and Maximoff. Then, he starts a bit as he thinks, Wait, did he say two weeks?

That last thought makes it out his mouth. "Wait, did you just say two weeks?" he asks Cisco.

Cisco looks at Tony, slightly confused. "Yes. Why does that concern you?" he asks.

Tony looks at Cisco for a moment. Then, he says, "Because. Allen has been on this Earth for just over a year now."

Cisco looks at Tony in surprise. "What? A year?" he asks loudly.

Tony nods. "Yeah. And don't bother asking me why there's a difference in time," he responds.

Cisco and Jay just stare at Tony. After a moment, Cisco asks Tony, "Okay. We'll figure that out later. Can you just tell us where to find Barry, and we'll be on our way."

Tony shifts awkwardly on his feet. After a moment, he says, "Yeah, that's the thing."

Cisco and Jay look at him in confusion. "What are you talking about?" Jay asks.

"He's not exactly here," Tony says.

"Then where is he?" Cisco demands.

Tony waits for a moment, then says, "He's in a maximum security prison."

Cisco and Jay both stare at him in shock. Out of all the things they'd been expecting, that was not one.

Tony starts walking towards the helicopter, and motions to them to follow him. "Follow me. I'm on my way there myself. I'll let you go see Allen, and see if we can't let the government release him."

And, I'll end there.

I hope that didn't disappoint you all, and that it wasn't too short. I mainly just wanted to show Barry in the Raft, the "chat" with Ross, and Cisco and Jay arriving on this Earth.

Next chapter will be up shortly. But, it will not feature Barry;s return to Earth-1. He won't be going home for a few chapters yet.

Until next time! Please review and let me know how I did with this chapter, and with the airport battle if you haven't already.
