We Stand

Particcle accelerator 2.0

Barrys pov

I sat next to Genevieve, it had been a week since she got her memory restored - she seemed to be getting better. She could stand on her own legs now, wich was amazing. We were sitting by the computers with Cisco and Iris, we were trying to see if there was anything pointing towards where this shark might turn up next time.

Joe and dad stood in the corner of the room, talking to us about how we should defeat this meta.

"So, what should we call him?", said Cisco. Gen chuckled.

"I think that since you are the best at naming villains, you should name him", he smiled cheekily.

"The best?", she punched him playfully in the arm.

"Ouch!!!", both Gen, Iris, Joe, dad and I chuckled.

"You brought it on yourself, C", said Gen as she gave him a playfully evil look.

"Barry, can I talk to you for a minute?", I turned around to see Caitlin standing in the doorway with her hands clasped over her stomach. She was dressed in a fitted, blue dress. Her curly, light hair was hanging down her shoulders and a pair of black heels covered her feet. I smiled and nodded at her, "Sure".

Once we reached her lab she went over to her desk where she had her computer. The lab was pretty basic, though she had some high-tec things in there. I was practically in a faze as I looked at al of the cool stuff.

"Barry - It's Gen", my attention immedietley turned back to the woman standing in front of me.

"What about her?", she looked at me sadly before taking a deep breath and holding her hands over her stomach again.

"Unlike you - Genevieve was born with her powers, she's always had them in her system and her powers are what has been keeping her alive. Her powers were like her heart - it was the reason she lived. It seems like she is progressing nicely but if you look at the results of the samples that I have taken these past weeks - it's on the contrary. It seems like her body is restoring itself but if she doesn't get her powers back before she seems to be completely healed - she will die", I looked at her - I didn't know what to say.

I ran my right hand through my hair as I felt emotions boil up inside me. I turned away from Caitlin and stood with my back facing her. I placed my hands on the table nearest to me and took a deep breath.

"Barry, she doesn't have long",  I nodded and turned to her. "I just got her back Caitlin - we can't let her die!".

"I know Barry, but I don't know how to help her! Zoom's got her powers tucked away somewhere and you don't have your speed!", I looked up at her.

"How long do you think that she has?", she looked down at her screen and shrugged.

"Maximum would probably be a week", I nodded towards her.

"We will have to recreate the explosion tonight - I need to take my powers back so that I can save Genevieve and get rid of Zoom, once and for all".

I walked out of her lab and down to where Harry was working on the machine that would recreate the particle accelerator explosion.

"When do you think that you will be done?", Harry stood and worked on the machine that seemed to be almost finished.

"Waaaait... there! Here you go - your way back to be a speedster", I nodded at him as I pressed the telephone on the wall.

"Hey guys, do you wanna come down here?", I ended the call and walked up to Harry. I took my suit and went to the bathroom to change.

Once I returned to the room, everybody was already there. Everyone looked confused, exept for Gen who looked at me knowingly.

"What is going on?", said dad as he looked between me and Harry questionably.

"We are going to recreate the particle accelerator-explosion to bring Barrys powers back".
