Be Your Hero - Barry Allen/The Flash (Book 1)

The Decision

Barry's POV.

Barry ran outside alone, to meet Wells. Barry came to a stop and saw Wells standing there with a smug smile on his face.
"Well, I heard your prison transfer a couple days ago didn't go so well. I'm so sorry." Wells said. Barry glared at his former teacher and friend. "All apart of your plan I assume." Barry yelled.

Wells held up his hands in defense. "Actually that didn't factor into my plan at all, but I'm impressed you went to such great lengths to keep those people from harm. Ever the hero. Huh Barry?"

Barry glared at Wells ignoring his friendly attitude. "You've hurt enough people." "I know. You see me as the villain, but Barry, if you were to look back. . .look back carefully at everything I've done, every wheel I have set in motion, you would realize. . .I've only done what I had to do." Barry shook his head. "Nothing more, nothing less." Wells continued.

Barry only thought of his mother and all the people who Wells had hurt. "And the Particle Excelorator? How does that fit into your grand plan?" Barry asked angrily. "Well, why don't you go back inside and I'll show you?" Wells asked. "You know I just learned the hard way not to trust the bad guy." Barry spat. "And yet I've shown you time and time again. You can't beat me Barry."

Just then there was a roaring sound. Landing next to Barry was Fire Storm. Barry had called him while on his way to STAR labs. "Well, you brought yourself a friend." Wells smiled. Then Oliver landed next to Barry. Barry had also given him a call. "Welcome Mr. Queen." Wells said smugly. "Hope we're not too late." Oliver told Barry. "Your just in time." Barry answered he then glared at Wells in pride.

"I don't care how fats you are. You can't fight all three of us at the same time." "Oh I can't? Trust me. This. . .this is going to be fun." Wells said, then held up his fist and shot his suit out of his ring. He then ran to it and was dressed in his suit. Barry, Oliver and Fire Storm all attacked.

After fighting for a long period Barry was chasing after Wells of the roof. Fire Storm shot fire at Wells and he fell off the roof onto a car roof. When he stood up Oliver shot him with an arrow. Wells fell to the ground, unconscious.

Barry walked over to where Wells lay. The others came to stand with him. "Thanks guys." Fire Storm answered. "No problem." Barry turned to Oliver. "Nice hair cut. And I see we've abandoned our traditional green." "Tried something different. Look, I might need a favor from you." Oliver said. "Wherever, whenever." Barry assured him. Oliver nodded and walked off with Fore Storm. Barry walked over to Wells. "I got you."

The next day after they had locked Wells up, Barry went down to question him. He opened the cell and stood there staring at his former teacher and colleague. How could he have down all these things? Why did he? What was the reason?

Wells stared at Barry, seeing the way he was looking at him. "What? No Big Belly Burger?" He asked. One of the few perks of living in this time. We're out of cows where I come from. You don't care about that. You have questions. Go ahead." Wells said quickly.

"Not sure where to start. . .Thawn." Barry said. Wells looked up. "That is your real name? Ewbard Thawn?" "Since the day I was born." Wells-or Thawn answered. "And when was that?" Barry asked. "One hundred and thirty-six years from now. This is not what you wanna know." He said turning to Barry. Barry stared at him with tears threatening. "Go ahead Barry. Ask it."

"Why did you kill my mother?" He asked shaking his head. "Because I hate you." Thawn answered glaring at Barry. Barry's eyes welled up. Barry hated this man. "Not you now. You years from now." Thawn correct himself. "In the future." Barry said. "In a future. Yes. We're enemies, rivals. Opposites. Reverses of one another." "Why? Why are we enemies?" Barry asked.
