One in the same (The flash/ Carl grimes)

Chapter 1: A new begining

BARRYS POV
"Dude it's been exactly two minutes sense you left! You already have.... Aqua man!" Cisco Exclaimed as we put the bad guy in a Capsule. "Aqua man?" Caitlin asked. "Yep, that's his name I have him. So anyways Barry, it's just amazing how fast that was!" He said. "What can I say, the stupider the bad guy is the faster I am." I replied. I ran and changed in under 10 seconds, and joined everyone in the lab. "Bravo, Mr. Allen." Dr. Wells said as he wheeled in. Sense the night the exeller Exploded, he had been in a wheel chair, which some say he deserves.
"Anyone else hungry?" I asked but before They could answer, I had already gone out and back. "One Cesar salad with no ranch for Caitlin, one Cheese burger for Cisco, Steak and chips for Dr. Wells, and chicken for me." I said then taking a bite of my food. "Thanks dude!" Cisco thanked. "You know Barry, who knows where you'd be if you never got struck by lighting a year ago." Caitlin smiled. "Not getting food for everyone!" We all laughed.
Star labs have been helping me for a year now, sense I've been in a coma, and after I woke up. Once I finished eating, I told everyone "I gotta run." Then zoomed off with a big gust of wind after.
I walked into the coffee shop where my best friend Iris worked. I sat down at one of the high, wooden tables so She would notice me. "Would you look who it is!" She laughed sitting down with two coffees. "Hows everything?" I asked takings sip. "It's alright, but Eddie and I are arguing over...." Then her words got lost in my head. She was still talking, but I was hearing it. The way her smile lite up the whole room, it was hard to focus. Not only was she my best friend, also she was my crush. We had grew up in the same house sense my mom died and my father went to prison. I knew he was innocent, but he still sat in iron heights today.
Iris doesn't know my secret. I have to protect her, and if that means her not knowing, then that's how it it has to be. "....So what do you think?" She snapped me out of my thoughts. "Huh?" I asked. "Ugh Barry sometimes your to slow! Do you think Eddie was right or I am?" She asked again. I don't know exactly what what to say, so I just said, "Your right...?" She sat there expressionless. I thought I gave the wrong answer, but her face brightened up again. "I knew you'd understand!" She exclaimed and gave me a hug. I hugged her back, when Eddie came in. "Hey Eddie." Iris said as she let go of me and greater him. "Hi babe." he seemed to gloat. "Barry agrees with me." she insisted. "Oh course." he whispered but Iris didn't seem to hear. "My breaks over so gotta get back to work." Iris told us. She kissed him goodbye, and walked off.
I sat there and thought about what Caitlin said earlier. Where would I be today if I didn't have my powers?
CARLS POV
"Ill be fine dad!" I said as I shot a walker in the head. "I could get Glenn or Daryl to do it, or I could." He told me, but I could do it. "No dad, it's all good. It's just a walk through the woods to gather fire wood." i reassured him. It then started sprinkling. "See now it's raining." he used as an excuse. "It's settled I'm going." I said. My dad has been very protective of me lately. I knew he was worried, so I said something I would regret. "You can come with me." he showed a grim smile. "Then let's go!" He told Everyone that we would be back, and that Daryl and Maggie were in charge, which j think was a good choice. As we walked through the woods it started to rain harder, and grey clouds started to form in the sky. "Lets make this quick, the winds picking up." my dad said looking around. We gathered logs we could find. I was standing next to my dad, when I saw Lighting coming down. My dad grabbed ahold of me, when a lighting bolt struck us.
I woke up next to my father. My body was sore, but I sat up. I saw my dad sit up too, and we looked around. "Where are we?" I asked as I looked around. We were no longer in the woods, we seemed to be in an alley way. My dad helped me stand up, and he started walking, so I followed. We got to the end of the alley, and my dad said, "Oh my god." "What?" I asked walking forwards. I looked to see cars zooming by, and people coming and going. There was not one walker in site. "Where are we that doesn't have walkers?" I whispered to my dad. "I have no clue." he replied.
We slowly walked, and looked at people. We received weird looks in return of everyone. We saw signs that said Central City. "Where's the group?" My dad mumbled. I was curious of what was happening. "Lets go back to where the alley was." my dad demanded and I don't object. We were walking through the alley way, when someone followed us. This person, had a knife showing. He stopped us by threatening with the knife, and said, "Give me your valuables." "Carl stay calm." he whispered to me. "Now!" The guy yelled at us. "We don't have anything." my dad told him. Which was the truth. "Let me rephrase that." he began. He lunged at me, and grabbed me and put his knife against my throat. "So give me your valuables now." He finished. I felt the cold blade against my skin, and squirmed a little. "We don't have anything." my dad repeated. "Fine, your sons going to pay for you not having anything." he yelled. He then threw me against the wall of and old building, making my nose bleed. I turned around to see him lunge at my dad, and stab him in the chest 8 times. "Dad!" I yelled. The robber ran off, and I remembered I had a gun. I should of shot at him, but I could only focus on my dad. I ran to his side, and yelled his head. "Dad!" I cried as blood flowed out. "Carl, take care of yourself." his last words were. "No!! Dad! Come back!" I shook him, but it was too late. I sat with him and cried for a long time. I heard sirens, so ran to the sidewalk, and watched as police showed up.
BARRYS POV
"Sorry I'm late!" I told Joe. "It's funny that you have super speed but you still are late." he whispered. Joe was Iris's Father, and detective on the police force. "So what do we got?" I asked. "A man in his early 40s or so, stabbed 8 times and bled out. So far no witnesses." Joe replied. "Got an I.d?" I asked curiously. "Nope. Another John Doe." I looked around, and saw a boy standing on the sidewalk watching us. He seemed to be crying. He noticed I looked at him, so he ran off.
