You & I | The Flash FanFiction| BOOK 2

Chapter 2

"Shit," Savitar mumbled. 

"Savitar..." he heard Caitlin from behind him, "what did you do?" She gasped. 

Savitar ran out, unable to hid his guiltiness. Barry, awoken from the trance, ran over to his identical-looking friend. Barry took in Savitar's worried expression and put a hand on his shoulder. 

"What happened?"

"I didn't know-I," Savitar sighed, "I reverse-flashed him. Barry, I didn't mean-"

"I know."

Barry understood his pain, more than anyone else. The only thing he wondered was what Savitar saw, to make him do such a viscous act. 

After talking it over with Joe and the other officials, Barry and Savitar ran back to Star Labs where everyone was silent. 

As soon as the two speedsters walked into the cortex, Caitlin walked out after giving Savitar a pained glance. 

"Go talk to her," Barry suggested. 

Savitar looked back at the entrance of the cortex and shook his head, "I don't-I think we all just need some time." Savitar sped out of the lab and ran to the nearby dam to think. 

Back at the lab, Iris asked what everyone was thinking, "Barry, what happened? Caitlin came in frustrated and she wouldn't say anything." 

"Didn't you guys see what had happened through the CCTV cameras?"

"Honestly, only bits and pieces," Iris replied.

"We heard you guys loud and clear, but we couldn't even see the guy," Cisco continued.

"The Hybrid," Harry added.

"Not calling him that."

Barry thought back to the horrible visions he had of his mother dying, but instead of the Reverse Flash killing her, it was him. He shook his head to get rid of the memory. He explained what had happened and how The Hybrid had died. 

"Interesting," Harry rolled around on the revolving chair and began to type. 

"How is killing someone interesting? You do realize this guy's dead, right?" Cisco asked. 

"Is he really?" 

Iris and Barry glanced at each other. 

Cisco spoke into the lab microphones, "Caitlin, I think you should come to the cortex." 

Within a few moments, Caitlin walked in, red eyed. 

"You okay?" Barry asked. 

Caitlin only nodded softly in reply, "what happened?" 

"Allen says that there was man at CCPD who gave them nightmares," Harry started.

"Way to put it lightly," Barry mumbled.

"Where's Savitar?" Caitlin asked. 

"He ran out," Cisco informed her. 

"The CCTV cameras couldn't catch the man or the visions," Harry continued, "Allen, do you mind?" 

Harry pointed to the computers to which Barry scanned through the police department's criminal file. 

"This is him," Barry pulled up a picture so everyone could see, "he had a mask, but it only really covered his eyes and that chain, he had the same one." 

"Victor Hinburk," Iris stated, "sentenced four years for assault of high school teacher." 

"If we run facial recognition," Harry typed, "we see that ..."
