Faster Than The Speed of Light. [2]

Precious Demons

Present: Iron Heights.
Cisco was in chains, as he sat down behind the clear glass of Iron Heights prison. He's been requesting to see a certain speedster. Which that speedster was avoiding for months after the trial.
Barry rolled his eyes. He could barely eat, his stomach felt like it was full all the time. His heart felt rage, utmost toward Cisco Ramon.
Most of all he felt heartbreak. Like his heart wanted to stop. To lay in peace with it other half.
Sometimes at his apartment he sees clothing of hers laying there, gathering dust. They still smell like her. He hasn't clean or gone to he apartment since the--
"What do you want." Barry spat out picking up the phone. His voice was hoarse. Even Cisco was surprised of who came to see him.
Not The Flash.
But a man who was broken, he had 5 o'clock shadow under his chin and starting to grow over his face. In his hand was sunglasses, probably because he was drinking last night, more than he should have, with unneat hair and dark circles under his eyes.
"Look Barry. I've been having vibes."
"Why should I care?" Barry asked, "you killed Caitlin." He stood trying to hold back his tears, it was the first time in weeks he said that name. Caitlin
Cisco stood up quickly, "this is not the right timeline Barry!" He said loudly almost sounding like a mad man, "I didn't kill Caitlin."
Barry didn't want to hear this, "We were the only two people in the room Cisco! I wasn't holding the gun, so who do think pulled it Huh?"
"Barry listen to me. The timeline is getting screwed up here, I wouldn't be telling you this if it--"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Barry yelled. "This is just a ploy to get you out prison isn't it?"
Cisco leaned on the glass nodding no, "You have to believe me Barry. Please!" He's too blind to it. He's still won't see what's in front of him. There was another speedster in that room. I know it. That bullet wasn't meant for her. "Barry believe me." Cisco was serious now, "go back to Star Labs Caitlin," he even ached when he said her name. But he knew, he wasn't suppose love her like Barry does. Who messed up his mind? "Caitlin left you something. It's in her private lab."
"That's in the closed unit."
"Trust me Barry. " Cisco said. "You'll see it in time. The ached will start to fell abnormal to you. I'll stay here, until you'll fix the timeline," Barry started to walk away for the Cisco. "You'll see something's not right. Either me or the Speed Force will tell you in the future." Cisco sat down calmly.
"You don't know anything." Barry spat out angrily. He panned on the door, letting the guards know he was done.
"YOU WILL SEE BARRY! YOU WILL SEE!"
After he got out of the prison he went to the bar, on fifth and Grand, he wasn't a big fan of alcohol, well since he can't even get drunk. Yet he like the slight buzz he gets for the strong vodka he usually orders. Five whole bottles, then he starts to get a bit tipsy. Yet, fast goes away. Maybe he tried too hard.
"That's it Barry, I'm cutting you off," said the bartender."
"Fine. I'm barely drunk." He tips the bartender, and slams the door. Next he goes to another bar, it doesn't matter which, as long if they give him alcohol.
Ten. That's when everything gets funny.
But he lost his fiancé and his child how can he get over that?
Fifteen. When his thoughts begin rage war with each other. Headache begins to form
Yet, he could move on. Central City needs The Flash.
Twenty. The mood he get in don't even touch Barry Allen.
Thirty Bottles. Oh he barely remember the fights he gets in.
When he got home, he sped fast toward his bed and laid down. Joe knew he was home not because of the shiny bright lighting that he gives off, but of the stretch of strong vodka and tequila that fills the air of the second floor. "Barry." He opened his eyes, and turned his body toward the ceiling.
Barry Allen was tired, tired of all this loss, his mother, Caitlin, his child.
So what does have to lose now?
STAR LABS.
Barry ripped down the caution tape over the new door that Dr. Wells put over to cover the gigantic loss of the particle accelerator. He opened the door, the hallway was dark, he could hear the putter of water from the broken ceiling that let in the rain from last night. He walked in, slowing down to not hit his head on loose wires or hanging parts of the ceiling, sunshine fell through the dark hallways, lighting them up, Barry covered his eyes from the sunlight. Glass was everywhere, opening rooms that were abandoned more than four years ago. he lifted his cellphone, turning on the flashlight, so knew where to go. Caitlin's lab was one of the biggest in this side of Star Labs. It was her own, sometimes she bought her own equipment to have her own experiments on. As I approached her laboratory, the hall began to feel cold, almost icy. I saw the sign:
DR. CAITLIN SNOW.
A light was on, small, I heard a motor running. I turned the knob, yet the door was locked. "Whatever."  Barry kicked the door down, without a sweat. A big thump hit the floor.
What his saw was impossible.
It was a glass ball, inside was fluid, inside was a smaller ball, pink, it was glowing like an orb. Beside was an envelop, with Barry's name on it.

Barry throat dried, as he looked who's handwriting it was, Caitlin's.

His hands were shaking as he opened the the envelop. even the glance of her handwriting punched Barry Allen in the gut. he held his breath.

Dear Barry,

I feel like I only have a few hours remaining right now. I feel like she is taking over my mind, I don't know what is right and what is wrong now. she's taking over my body. I'm taking the rest of Caitlin Snow into this letter. Maybe this is the last piece of me that will survive this. I laughed, I should be telling you this face to face, but I don't know How you would take this-- How you would take... us. Barry I'm pregnant. I healed after you save me, it took hours but the baby... This is so hard to put everything in one single letter to you. But i felt it, not giving up like you do when you want to save a person--people that need help. You save them Barry, that's what I love you, you don't give up, you care, you love.

I don't know when you'll find this. It could be month, days, years ( God Barry, please don't let it be years)

Three hours ago, Cisco helped my create an artificial womb so that the baby can survive, be born, without any resilience of Killer Frost in the within. He or she, won't have my powers, killer Frost won't affect him at all. Don't ask my how. By now, I may dead, and maybe the baby is full term. He's not a clone, he's mine and yours an actual baby.

The baby is gonna take after his father.

Barry, if I'm dead, it wasn't your fault, I was the right thing. I love you so much, Barry Allen we do make quite a pair.

Forever,

Caitlin Snow

Barry looked up, and and the fist big embryo that was in the clear glass ball. Barry's right hand let go of the letter. His mind controlled his hands making them touch the cold glass orb in the middle of the room. "Alive?"

Suddenly he felt a spark, almost a drain of energy, but quickly he regained his feet. The small embryo grew into a a size of an ripe apple. Barry leaned in close and he heard small rapid heartbeats. He smiled. "I'm here. Daddy's here."
