Chapter- 17) Stranger Things In The Universe

"What happened?" Was all I heard as I watch the smoke clear.

"No, no, no, no. Why does this keep happening!?" I scream.

"Barry calm down." My dad tells me. "Where is my daughter? Where is she?!" Joe yells at Harry. I see Iris drop to her knees and cries as she mourns for her sister.

My dad helps me out of the contraption and I lean on him so I don't fall.

Suddenly I see a black shadow from the corner of my eye. It was a Zoom. He reaches down and picks up one of Rose's feathers.

"Now, everyone will suffer, all because you killed what was rightfully mine." He runs out and I collapse.

"Barry! Barry breathe! Son breathe!"

•Cisco's Pov•

This wasn't supposed to happen. None of this. Rose literately going up in smoke before our eyes. Barry having a seizure. None of it. As everyone helped Barry and Jesse, I stay behind and look at Rose's feathers. I crouched down and as I pick one up I see Rose. She was floating in air looking at something. I gasp and take off running to tell everyone the good news. Rose... Rose is alive.

When I wake up I hear rain against the window, but surprisingly I don't hear thunder or lightning. I get up from my bed and look around at my old toys.

I gently touch my old pink bunny and hear my door creak open. I see a shadowed figure walk past. "Hey!" I run into the hall and see a glimpse of it so I run down the steps. I stop dead in my tracks because I see my old ball at the bottom of the steps and I want to hide from it.

"Don't let something as simple as a piece of rubber control you." I look up and see my dad.

"Dad, I thought you threw this ball away."

"I didn't, but your father did." I take a step back. "Am I dead? Oh God, I can't be."

"You're not dead. But how does that little piece of rubber make you feel?" I look at it and I want to throw it. I want to burn it. "I hate it." I go to raise my hands to send it flying but nothing happens.

Huh?

"We thought you'd be more comfortable talking to someone who looked familiar and in a place you knew." The dad wanna be tells me. I look up at him. "We? Who's we exactly?" I asked with concern.

He sighs. "That's a little hard to explain. Sit Rose." I walk away from the ball and sit down, looking at my shaky hands. "Rose, how much do you know about the speed force?"

"It's... The source of my powers... And Barry's as well. It's what makes a speedsters." I say as I swallowed hard.

"Yes...and no."

Okay I'm confused.

"When the first subatomic particle sprang forth from the Big Bang to form reality as you know it, we were there. When the last proton decays, stopped vibrating, and plunges the universe into heat death, will be there too."

Scary shit..

"Wait, so I'm talking to the speed force?" He nods and I think I'm going crazy. "Isn't that like saying, I'm having a conversation with gravity or light or..." He smiles and that's my cue to leave.

"It was nice talking to you fake dad--"

"you need a minute. It's OK if you do. It's a lot to take in."
