Ch 14

After 2013 Bruce had refused to help them, Barry and 2013 Barry had gone to another area outside of Wayne Manor.

"He doesn't wanna help us? We're gonna use his Bat shit." Barry said determindely.

"Bat shit?" 2013 Barry asked in confusion.

"Yeah, like, his Bat things." Barry explained. "Go stand on that thing. Remember when you phased through the floor?"

"Yeah!" 2013 Barry said way too excitedly and Barry sighed.

Honestly, 2013 Barry just seemed way too hyper.

"I need you to do that again." Barry said.

Then 2013 Barry phased through the manhole and a few minutes later...

"Ow!"

Then Barry went down and saw that 2013 Barry had discovered the Batcave and it was huge. Maybe even more huge than his Bruce's Batcave.

It even had both the Bat-Jet and the super sleek silver Batmobile musclecar.

"Dude, this place straight beevs!" 2013 Barry said in amazement.

Okay, huh?!

"Beevs?" Barry asked but 2013 Barry was already moving on.

Then 2013 Barry used his superspeed to just zoom around the cave while Barry was trying to focus on finding Clark Kent in the U.S

"Barry! I almost died! In an abyss!" 2013 Barry said before he laughed in excitement.

Barry just sighed internally.

This kid was just getting to be very annoying.

"Barry, look!"

"I'm busy!" Barry shouted back.

Why wouldn't his younger self just let him think straight?

"With what?" 2013 Barry asked, sounding like he was geniuenly confused.

Clearly 2013 Barry didn't get that the whole Earth of this timeline was gonna go kaboom if he didn't find Superman.

"Looking for unidentified objects entering anywhere near Kansas in the last 50 years." Barry said with gritted teeth.

Then 2013 Barry started fooling around even more and he was trying to fool around with a laughing bag and man, the constant laughing was even more annoying.

"Stop messing around, Barry! I won't say it again." Barry said in frustration

"Yeesh, sorry mom." 2013 Barry said sarcastically and Barry was now trying very hard to resist letting out an angry scream.

Okay, you know what? I am SO DONE with this guy!

"Shut up!" Barry yelled as he stood up and ranted down at 2013 Barry. "Shut up! You have no idea how lucky you are! No idea! You take everything for granted, you don't even appreciate! You just walk around thinking you're so funny and cool! And it's embarrassing! Because you're not any of those things!"

"Hey, screw you, man! I've done nothing but everything you've asked!" 2013 Barry yelled back. "You made me get struck by lightning, I- I phased naked through the floor, I terrified Mrs. Johanssen, now I'm probably gonna have to move! You won't even tell me why you're here! But will you at least tell me why you're being so mean to me for no reason?!

"You used Monkey as a dartboard!" Barry said because he now saw how 2013 Barry had just messed up the monkey toy with a bunch of random darts.

"Wait, what?!" 2013 Barry asked in surprise. "So you're mad at me for playing with a toy"

"It's not a toy." Barry said through gritted teeth. "Mom brought us that monkey."

"Cause she calls us monkey, gives us monkey stuff all the time." 2013 Barry realized.

Then he saw how sad 2013 Barry looked and now he suddenly felt very guilty about raining down on 2013 Barry like that when 2013 Barry still didn't even understand anything yet and was still learning.

"Yeah, look. I'm sorry." Barry said. "I'm not good with people. Even with myself."

"Oh come on, dude." 2013 Barry said comfortingly. "You're not that bad. You just can be kind of a dick sometimes but, I am pretty obnoxious. I just get excited! C'mon, this place is pretty cool, right?"

"Yeah." Barry said as he looked around the futuristic Batcave and honestly it kind of was.

"Alright, well, I'll let you work." 2013 Barry said, then he sped off while Barry went back to doing his thing.

Well that sorted that out.

Then he noticed that there was a camera and 2013 Bruce had to be watching.

Maybe Barry could use that for another chance.

"I know you're there." Barry tried as he began to explain the difference between 2013 Bruce and his Bruce. "You know what I'm stuck on? It's that thing you said, with the spaghetti. You said there were certain intersections that would always be inevitable. You had an Alfred. My Bruce has an Alfred. Different worlds, different times, and yet... there it is. Certain people, certain events, certain strands of spaghetti drawn to each other like- like magnets. I've read all about temporal paradoxes and causal loops, but this is more than that. Inevitable intersections are something none of the theories could've anticipated 'cause, well, how do you explain something like that except for... fate? If you are listening, I'm sorry about your parents. I'm just trying to save mine. There has to be a way."

"I found him. Barry, wake up!" 2013 Barry said excitedly. "Clark's being held by a mercenary group in a Siberian black site. Get up, Barry!

Then Barry ran over to the other computer 2013 Barry was looking at and saw that the black site was in Russia.

"How are we going to get to Russia?" 2013 Barry asked in confusion.

Then suddenly there were two hard footsteps that echoed loudly throughout the Batcave and both Barry and 2013 Barry turned around to see that 2013 Batman had finally come to help.

"I'll help you get this Superman." 2013 Batman said. "Then you're on your own."

Finally. Barry sighed in relief while 2013 Barry was just shocked.

"Ho..." 2013 Barry said in complete surprise. "You...you're...you are!"

"Yeah." 2013 Batman said with a grin. "I'm Batman."

Now they finally had 2013 Batman's help.
