It was a pretty average Friday in Central City. Barry and Iris were at Star Labs, talking to Cisco and Caitlin about plans for Karaoke and drinks later that night.
Barry's phone suddenly began to ring.
"Hello?"
"Barry! Turn on the news!" Click.
Barry, surprised by the anxious voice and abruptness, stared at his phone for a moment.
"What? Who was it?" Cisco asked, as everyone looked at Barry.
"Felicity...I think." His voice was unsure.
Curiously, Barry reached behind Iris' back to grab the television remote. Everyone looked at him, confused. He was confused as well. Felicity was never quick with phone calls; Barry sometimes spent hours just chatting about atoms and molecules with her. He had never had such a short phone call from her before.
A news report was on the screen, the headline on the bottom of the screen reading "Third Person to Mysteriously Disappear From Crowded Public Area in Central City". The news anchor, a balding man in his late thirties, was reading a script and talking to the audience.
"A third person has mysteriously disappeared from a crowded public area in Central City. Johnson Adams, twenty-three, was reported missing earlier tonight. His wife, Marie, personally told a Central City News journalist, that her husband was there one moment, and gone the next. He is the fifth to go missing in the last ten days in such a manner. The Central City Police Department refused to comment, but sources inside reported that the Police are no closer to finding them then they were to begin with. The people of Central City may want to-"
Iris ripped the remote out of Barry's hand and pushed the power button viciously.
"I hate that guy." She muttered. She then stomped out of Star Labs, anger pulsing through her veins.
Barry and Cisco exchanged an anxious look.
"I guess I should get to CCPD," Barry said after a moment of silence. With a whoosh, he was gone.
"So much for Karaoke," Cisco complained.
A/N (Again). This is not set within a certain time frame. After the particle accelerator, about a year or so, but it is basically just kinda paralleling the show. I reference a few events, but nothing major. Love ya! ~Bumble
