Too Far Back (The Flash and Merlin Crossover)

Kidnapped

"Of course not!" The Flash yelled. "He killed my friend - why would I want that? He's from Earth-2, everyone from there is evil!" He stopped, a look of realization forming on his face as he comprehended what he just said. "Never mind." He said quickly.

"What's Earth-2?" I asked.

"Nothing."

"What. Is. Earth. Two?" I growled. I needed to know what it was, to know the whole story behind Zoom. How could I trust a man who is hiding something about my enemy from me?

"I can't tell you that!" The Flash yelled.

"Why? Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I don't trust you - your father declared me an enemy to Camelot! And it's not even a trust issue, I'll mess up the future if I do!"

"The future?" I asked.

"Oh shit." he said, and I felt my feet lift off from beneath me. I looked around for the Flash, but all I could see were colored blurs. I looked down, and saw he was running, carrying me to some unknown destination.

"Shit." I said.

Barry's P.O.V.

How could I have been so stupid! I thought to myself as I ran with Arthur slumped over my shoulder. I couldn't tell anyone about the future! Well, except maybe Merlin. But he was different! He was the most powerful warlock to ever live! I knew I had to say something to Arthur, because I not he would never stop trying to figure out who I was. But if I did, there would be a possibility I would mess with the timeline too much. I ran back through the woods, towards the castle. Yes, that's a good place to put Arthur. I just hope he doesn't hate me after this.

Arriving at the castle, I ran to Arthur's room and set him on the ground.

"What was that for?" He immediately shouted. "Aren't you going to tell me what Earth-2 and about the future!"

"I'm so sorry, Arthur, I can't."

"That's no way to address me! You'll tell me right now or I'll call the guards, right here!"

"Fine. I'm so sorry, your majesty." I said sarcastically, bowing mockingly.

"You've just made an enemy of Camelot, Flash." Arthur growled. "Guards!"

I gave Arthur one more apologetic look - just in case - and sped off.

Arthur's P.O.V.

How could I have been so stupid! My father knew the Flash couldn't be trusted, but I just had to go and try and negotiate with him. Sorcerers don't negotiate, I know that how. Finally, the guards I had called rushed into my room, the door clanging open with a loud bang.

"Your majesty?" One guard questioned.

"He's gone! You're all to slow! Ugg!" I yelled, extremely annoyed.

"I'm sorry, who, your majesty?"

"The Flash! He directly disobeyed my orders!" I said, and I strode out of the door, preparing to bring this issue and the strange words he had said to the attention of my father. Guards tripped over themselves trying to match my long stride, the imbeciles. Just as I was about to turn a corner, I saw a bright blue light in front of me, and then everything was blurry and I could feel myself speeding away from everything I knew. Zoom, I thought to myself.

When the Flash carried me, it was a lot gentler than this. Zoom held me in an uncomfortable over-the-shoulder way (A/N the fireman's carry) and I could feel every bump and turn he made. I felt like I was going to throw up. But I held it in - I couldn't look weak in front of this terrorist. Finally, Zoom tossed me down, and my head struck the cold stone. Zoom's tall figure swam in and out of my view, and my vision blurred. Great, I thought. I have a concussion, or whatever the heck Gaius calls them. I sat up, or tried to at least. Zoom picked me up by the neck and looked into my eyes. I finally saw the monster for the first time: he was wearing a suit quite like the Flash's but was blue and had no opening in the cowl. I trembled slightly under his grip; he was quite terrifying. Finally, Zoom broke the silence.

"Well well well, what do we have here?"

Barry's POV

I was lying on my bed, scolding myself again and again when there was a knock at my door.

"Come in." I called, and a small servent boy walked in, looking nervous.

"Umm, sir, the king has called for a meeting with the court and all the knights, which includes you." the girl said.

"I'll be going to see what he wants, eh?" I said with a laugh to the nervous boy.

"Um, yes, yes sir."

"You don't have to call me sir," I said gently. "Barry's just fine."

"Ok, s- errh Barry." He said hesitantly."

"What's your name?" I asked, extending a hand. The boy held out a shaking hand and took mine.

"Sir, I mean Barry, my name is Elias." The he said. "Elias Allen."

I was taken aback by the boy's name. Could he possibly be one of my ancestors? I studied Elias, taking in his every feature. He had what looked like my mother's eyes, and my grandfather's nose, and my hair. He must be my great great something grandfather.

"Thank you, Elias." I answered finally.

"I'll just be going then?" the boy stated, but it sounded more like a question.

"Yes, thank you again." I answered. Elias almost sprinted out of my room, looking relieved. Putting him on the spot like that probably was new to him, after all, he was just a serving boy, and he had my tendency to be shy around new people. Well, I guess it was more his trait to begin with but I'm still calling it mine. I better leave to go see Uther I thought. Don't wanna make him mad.

I walked out of my room and headed towards the throne room, seeing that everyone was already there. I stood near the corner of the room, trying to look as natural as possible. Lying was never my strong point, at least not currently, I thought, thinking of my old days of Sebastian.

"Arthur has been kidnapped." Uther said, breaking the silence what was beginning to set all around us. "It was Zoom," he continued, "and guards inform me it was right after Arthur had a visit with the Flash. All knights will start to patrol the forest in search of my son and heir."

I suddenly felt something glaring into the back of my skull. It was Merlin, bearing an expression that obviously said we need to talk. I gave a quick nod, and turned my attention back to Uther.

"You are all dismissed." he said, and everyone shuffled out of the throne room. I quickly made my way over to Merlin, who dragged me into Gaius' quarters and then into his room.

"What. Happened. With. Arthur?"

"Well, I talked to him and said a bunch of words like 'Earth-2' and 'future' so he didn't trust me, and then I guess he was kidnapped by Zoom. Simple." I said.

"That doesn't sound so simple! Why couldn't you just hold your tounge! At least Arthur might still be here."

"Zoom wold have taken him either way! Can you get that idea through your thick head? No? Well here it is again in simpler terms: I couldn't help Arthur's kidnapping. And it's up to us to get him back.
