“What do you mean by its Iris, where is she?” Barry asked franticly coming into the room with caitlin and cisco, cisco was already trying to track her with her phone. “First she didn't show up for work, heck her car hasn't left her parking lot, she and i were suppose to have lunch at Toni’s today but she never showed, I'm still calling around, i was hoping you had seen or heard from her today?” Joe asked knowing that answered Barry’s question “N-no Joe i haven't talked to Iris for a couple days now…Cisco is tracking her phone as we speak, she doesn't go anywhere without that piece of her” the speedster looked at Cisco, still holding his phone to his ear.
“Got a location on her phone, just waiting for it to load…got it.. Iris West’s phone is in her apartments parking garage” he said clearly surprised, but as soon as Barry heard he dropped his phone speeding immediately to the garage, where he looked through everything in less than five seconds but looked again, but when he stopped and saw her pink phone case, he kneeled down and picked it up. He ran back to Star Labs and he put her phone down carefully. “Thats the only thing I found, i even checked it twice” Barry said looking at Caitlin, she came over and picked it up again “Don’t worry Barry, she's most likely fine, we will find Iris”
“I know we will find her, because i wont rest until i have her beside me again” Barry said before pulling away from her comforting hand, in less than three seconds he was in the flash suit “keep Joe on the line so he can tell me anything he finds out” he said before going. “Hey Caitlin, where’s Dr. Wells?” Cisco asked glancing at the girl holding Iris’s phone, she froze and looked around “Um..actually i have no idea, but he should be here, ill call him, you look for anything that can help us find Iris” she said glancing at cisco before setting down the phone and going for her own.
++Keystone bridge++
Iris didn't want to believe her situation, tied to the top of a bridge, a bit unusual for a cliche don't you think? Well she thought so too, how did he even get her up here without falling, she guessed he could go fast enough to scale the tower before gravity could pull him back down. She had been alone most of the day, trying to get people on the bridge attention, but the traffic was so loud that no one could hear her screams for help.
Suddenly another gust of wind came and there stood the Reverse Flash, he grabbed her suddenly and they where moved again, the force came and she felt the tug of her necklace that Barry gave her for Christmas, a replica of her mothers ring that she had lost years ago. The ring fell, and she almost screamed as it fell but could barely breathe with the speed.
Soon the lack of air got to her and she passed out, completely limp in his arms before being set down.
+++Star Labs+++
“Barry, there is a energy fluctuation near the Keystone bridge” Cisco said scanning Central City, but was surprised when this happened “So? i don’t follow that Cisco..” barry said checking the magazine offices, then jitters, then the park, all of Iris’s favorite places and maybe some unusual places also. “I mean that another speedster has been there.. and you know who that is don't you" he replied.
Barry immediatly sped towards the bridge "yes, its Reverse Flash, Cisco tell Joe that he has Iris and im sure of it" He was at the bridge in a flash, how could he find out that Iris had been here, something flickered in the light of the cars on the side of the bridge on the railing, a chain.. Barry knew this had been the one that he had gotten for Iris to hold her mothers wedding band, but where was the ring, a boat honk was what made him remember, there was an ocean under this bridge, and if this had broken, that meant that it was at the bottom of the passage, he wanted to get it for her, but Iris was first, she had always been first.
The scarlet speedster new that Reverse Flash had now crossed the line, he messed with something, someone that Barry cared for deeply, loved. "I swear, if he had laid one harmful hand on her, this ends today" he thought to himself, he was not going to lose this battle, when it came.
"Where did the fluctuation end Cisco" he said standing on the edge of a building looking around before running off again, going through ally ways, looking for the man who killed his mother, the same man that currently had Iris..his Iris..
"It ended in an abandoned apartment on the outskirts of Keystone, but i don't think he has left the city limits, so you should look there first" Cisco said immediatly, caitlin nodded and made her third call to Harrison who still wasn't picking up, she really hoped he was alright...but where was he.
[few minutes before]
+++Iris+++
Iris woke up, with a shiver at the lack of heat in the room, and why was she so tired? She was in a corner of a room, the walls where stripped of color, the celling was old and worn, only the moonlight was shown in the room, she sneezed into her arm, then looked at her sleeve, blood, she had a nose bleed. Iris had always gotten bad nosebleeds when around alot of dust and debree, she had to stop it before she looked like something was wrong with her, or she was injured. But when Iris moved to get up, she found her legs were considerably weak and she tripped and fell. Thats when she noticed she was completly alone, and she started crawling towards one of the windows, could she get out?
Right before Iris got to the window, she saw a small black box in the room, it was a speaker with a recorder connected to it, should she listen to it? Or was it meant for someone else. She got up slowly to her feet, not wanting any more splinters in her knees from the broken wood flooring. The girl touched the play button, "Flash, i know you're looking for Ms. West but i assure you that i have no intent in killing her, doesn't mean i won't tease you a bit, but also remember, i know who you are, listen closely B-" Before she could hear anymore, wind, and she was in a new location, Central City Park for the Public.
+++Barry+++
When he got to the appartment, he broke a window to get the moons light into the room, he saw a black box, but something that caught his eye. "Cisco, i just found blood...its very recent, it's hers" he could'nt say her name, the thought of Iris being hurt because of his own ghost, made him lightheaded. He went to the speaker and pressed play it started over then added "Barry Allen, is the flash, i know this, i am closer than you think, you will not beat me, im just waiting for the end game times" then the video cut out, and before he knew it there was an explosion and he was out in a moment, glad there wasn't anyone for a few blocks, the building was destroyed.
"I promise i will find you Iris" he whispered waiting for a new place to look, he told him self over and over that she would be fine, but even his own thoughts wherent enough
