In A Matter Of Seconds [Under Editing]

Chapter 33

Everyone was runnig toward the garage. The plan was to make it to the garage and get inside one of the vans. 

"Second van. The keys are inside." Barry quickly got in with Emely behind him. 

Barry tried to turn on the van as Cisco, Cailtin and Dr. Wells headed toward them. The engine started to sputter and Dr. Wells couldn't move his wheelchair.

"He's here, Barry." Everyone watched as Farooq entered the garage.

"Emely, go with them." Emely nodded and slowly exited the vehicle. 

Farooq shot at the van and Barry flew out of it. Emely went over to him as did Cisco and Caitlin.

"Barry, are you okay?" He nodded.

"I'm fine." Farooq headed toward them and Emely held onto Barry's hand. 

"No, please." Emely shut her eyes and waited for the impact that never came.

"Hey!" Emely slowly opened her eyes to find Dr. Wells standing on the other side behind Farooq.

"You're here for me."

"Finally, you show your face." Farooq had his back toward everyone else, now that Dr. Wells was in front of him.

"Well, I wasn't exactly eager to be killed." 

"Neither were my friends." Farooq started walking closer to Dr. Wells. 

"I know. I hurt a lot of people that night."

"People? You don't even know their names." Emely scooted closer to Barry, worried that Farooq could actually kill Dr. Wells, and then them.

"Jake Davenport. Darya Kim. Ralph Dibney. Al Rothstein. Grant Emerson. Will Everett. Bea De Costa. Ronnie Raymond." Emely reached out for Caitlin's hand as Dr. Wells mentioned her lover's name. 

"I know the names of everyone who died that night. They mattered, and the fact that the world is now deprived from their potential, is something that I have to live with everyday. But these people," Dr. Wells looked at Cisco, Caitlin, Barry and Emely, "These people have done nothing wrong. You wanna punish me? Fine. Let's do that. But let these people live." 

Emely watched intently as Farooq stood quietly.

"You died that night too." In one blink, Farooq shot Dr. Wells right out of his wheelchair.

"No!"  Emely wanted to get up but Caitlin held her back.

"You just didn't know until today." 

That struck Barry. The anger he felt when he saw Dr. Wells get hurt was enough for Barry's speed to return. He quickly saved Dr. Wells and set him over to where his colleagues and girlfriend were.

"Are you okay?" Dr. Wells nodded.

"I'm okay." Emely smiled at him and gave him a hug. 

The four of them watched with a worried feeling as Farooq shot at Barry again. But this time, it was different. Instead of Barry losing his powers, Farooq fell to the ground. 

"Barry." Emely got up and ran toward Barry.

She pulled him into a hug. 

"Are you okay?" He nodded.

"I'm okay. But we need to go to CCPD." Emely nodded and Barry sped them there. 

Barry and Emely entered and everyone looked at her.

"Detective Hart, are you okay?" Emely nodded.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Barry found Iris, Joe and Eddie on the stairs.
