Saving Her

T H I R T Y

Something jolted Bethany up. She looked around seeing immediately that they were still in the car.

"I see you're awake Beth."

"Tina." Bethany said looking up into the rear view mirror to see Tina glancing at her.

"Long time no see." She smirked.

Beth tried to move her hands, but they were duct taped together as well as her ankles.

"Why?" Beth breathed as she struggled against the tape.

The smirk on Tina's face disappeared. "Because we have to. We didn't die Bethany. None of us did. We were chipped, and if we don't do as Siward says he puts us through unimaginable amounts of pain. I don't want to Beth. We were close then and still are now. Please forgive me."

Bethany sighed sitting up. "What's the plan then? What's he going to do?"

"He's going to chip you. Like the rest of us. He's built an army Bethany, and you're apart of it."

"Why duct tape me?"

"I needed you to cooperate while I explain. I knew you'd react badly. I didn't expect Siward to send me after you, but he knew we were close so he's using that just like everything else." Tina pulled over turning the car off hitting the steering wheel in frustration.

Turning around she held her hand out for Beth's. "Let me cut you free."

Beth nodded letting Tina help her get free. Handing Beth the knife she cut the tape off her ankles.

Climbing to the front Beth looked over at Tina, and prepared to go back to that god forsaken place. "Alright well let's make the best of this. Viva la resistance just like old times."

"Viva la resistance." Tina giggled pulling away from Central City. Time to face the past.

"Tina I need to make a call."

Tina glanced at Beth holding the phone out in her hand. "If you're going to call that boy of yours. Dr. Siward knows about him and his powers. Don't tell him where we are until you need to. The phones a burner so go ahead and keep it."

Beth nodded taking the phone holding it in her hand. This was her connection to Barry, and she didn't want to lose it.

"Have you found anything?" Barry asked looking up at Cisco who was slaving over the computer.

"No I haven't. I've even stretched to a three mile radius outside of Central City. I'm sorry Barry."

"We've tried our best up until this point. Now we keep trying. It's been about sixteen hours. Maybe she's just not in Central City. Or even around it. Siward has multiple facilities across the country. Why don't we up our game and start using satellite imagery? Find the car that took her. We can start at the apartment."

"I know the car she was put in, and I was going to get the license plate, but whoever kidnapped Beth covered their plate." Cisco frowned changing to a separate computer to look again anyway. "I'll see if I can follow the car."

Barry was about to ask Caitlin how she was doing when his phone ringing stopped him. Looking at the unknown number a feeling of hope surged in his chest.

He rushed from the room before answering. "Bethany?"

"Barry." She breathed.

"Where are you? Are you okay? Are you hurt? I'm so sorry Bethany. I couldn't save you. I-"

"Barry." Beth said stopping him from continuing. "You need to listen carefully. I'm fine, and I'm with Tina. I can't explain quickly enough. Siward is building an army. He's chipping all who were experimented on. Tina was just completing orders given to her. Barry she is taking me back. I'm going to bring him down from the inside."

"Bethany where are you?" Barry hissed.

"I can't tell you that. Barry Siward knows about you. He can stop you. I need to do this alone. I'm going to be getting on a plane to Brazil. If I need you I'll call again. I love you Barry Allen." She whispered the last sentence with tears streaming down her face. "Please forgive me."

"Bethany wait please don't do this. You don't have to do this alone. I can help." Barry pleaded his heart beating wildly as he walked around in circles tugging at his hair.

"Barry the plane is about to leave. Even if I told you you wouldn't be able to run fast enough to catch it. Give me two weeks, and if I don't call then you can get me."

Barry paused contemplating all the bad outlets, but he needed to have faith. He wasn't the only one with super powers. "Two weeks Beth, and I'm coming for you."

"There's a town called Guiera. Surrounding it is dense forest which allows for Siward to hide his facility. That's where I'm going. I'll be safe. The kids who were there with me will help. I know it. I love you."

"I love you too Bethany Stone. Call me as soon as you need me, and I'll be there."

"Of course Barry. Keep Central safe while I'm gone."

"Always." Barry smiled his eyes misting over at the fact he's actually going to let Beth go through with this.

He couldn't shake the bad feeling in his gut. The phone clicked off, and the tears fell. Barry stood there feeling more than helpless. He felt like he just sentenced Bethany to death.
