WestAllen Love Story (Book 2)

Chapter 11: Battles

Jay glances over at Henry who was still sitting on the cot. It had been a couple of hours now since he had told him that his father Barry had once been the Flash. The kid hadn't said anything since. Jay was sure that he was in shock. "I don't believe you!" He finally said. Jay slowly approached the child. "But it is true. He would rather leave his people in the dust, to defend for themselves..." Henry glared at him. "He was trying to protect me! Leave me alone!" Henry backed up a little further on the cot to keep as much distance from Jay as possible. Hearing those last few words, Jay closed his eyes giving a slight shake of his head as images and voices of his mother being killed by his father came to his mind.

"Your father won't be able to teach you what he knew. I am more knowledgeable, I have been around a lot longer than him. I can teach you how to use your speed correctly." He grinned. "We could rule the worlds together. In this alternate verse, we already do. Your father has lied to you all this time. About being who he really was. I'm telling you what you should've been told a long time ago... Who are you going to believe kid? Someone who lies. Or someone who can tell you the truth.. They would've claimed to tell you that they lied to you to keep you safe. But they were wrong. That didn't keep you safe at all. Did it.." Jay smirked walking over closer to sit on the ledge of the bed.

Henry stayed quiet some more seeming to consider about what Jay had told him. He was angry of course that his parents didn't tell him. But he knew their reasonings. "No. Just take me home please..." He whimpered a little. Jay gave a slight shake of his head to keep the voices out that were threatening to take over him.

Once Jay seemed to have gained composure, he left Henry as he was and jumped worlds back to earth 1 to the lab where Barry and the others were. "Where the hell is my son!" Iris hissed as she saw Jay appear in the lab. Jay smirked and stepped a bit closer to her. "I thought I told Cisco to give you the message. He doesn't want to come back. He doesn't want to get caught up in all the lies.." Iris glared at him giving Jay a hard slap in the face.noticing what was about to happen, Barry quickly rushed to Iris' side and pulled her away before Jay could do anything to her.

"Please. Just give me back my son.." Iris pleaded. Jay stared at Iris a long moment trying to control the voices in his mind. He let out a low growl and quickly sped off. Barry wrapped his arms around Iris as they watched Jay disappear once again only to appear a few seconds later this time with Henry. Iris sighed once she saw her son. "He's alright..." "Mom!" He was surprised that Jay had let go of him and he rushed over to Iris and Barry hugging them as they hugged him back. "Come on..." Barry said, keeping his arm wrapped around Henry. "We have a lot of explaining to do..." Henry stalled a moment glancing over at Iris. "But daddy, what about mommy?." Barry turned back towards Iris. "You take Henry. I'll deal with Jay.."

"You touch my son again and you're dead.." Barry warned him once Iris had left the lab with Henry. Jay let out a laugh. "But I have so much I can do. You don't even know the half of how powerful your son is..." Jay smirked. "If that's the case it's because you brainwashed him. That's earth 2 not here. My son wouldn't do that..." "Are you sure about that? Maybe you don't know each other as well as you think?" Jay asked approaching closer to Barry. The two of them forgot that Caitlin, Cisco and Harry were watching nervously. "When I told him you lied to him about who you were, he believed me. He said he wanted to get even with you for lying to him. For not telling the truth."

As Jay stepped closer to him, Barry gripped both sides of his shirt collar. "We never lied to him.. We just didn't tell him.." He said through gritted teeth. "We were planning on telling him on our own terms.." Jay continued to look at Barry and smirked. "Well it looks like I beat you to the punch.." Barry let go of Jay as roughly as possible, making Jay stumble back a few feet.
