Barry Allen|2|The Flash

Zoom let out a laugh, "You are fast, Flash. But not fast enough to save your father," His black suit blended into the night, making me have to squint to see him properly.
"No!" I yelled, "Please, Jay. Leave him alone."
My Dad was trapped in Zoom's grip. He lifted his head, "Barry, listen to me, I will always love you. Your mother and I loved you so much, and I'm so proud of you."
     I felt my heart rate speed up as Zoom stared back at me, "Now, Flash. You will be. Just. Like. Me." His hand blurred, and he stabbed my Dad.
"NO!" I ran forward as my Dad fell, his eyes, once full of love and warmth, were cold and blank . . .
***
My eyes shot open, and I fell completely out of my bed. I groaned and pushed myself up, throwing the blankets back onto the bed.
Those dreams were starting to get to me. I had a cold sweat and my heart was pounding way faster than it should have been. Even if I was The Flash.
My alarm clock rang, almost drowning out the sound of the beeping from my phone. I got up, shut off the clock and answered my phone.
"Hey," Cisco's voice said, sleepily, "Morning, Barry."
I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, "Hey," then I thought of something, "Why are you calling me?"
     "I was on the computer this morning and th-th-there's a huge fire on 12th Avenue," he said, stifling a huge yawn.
     I sighed, "Right, I'm on my way."
     I hung up the phone and zipped to my closet and opened the doors. There, in red and gold, was my suit. My lightning emblem shining on the chest.
I was in the suit and outside before a second had passed. The morning was cold, but the sun shone down on the glinting cars. I always liked Central City in the mornings.
I stopped for a minute and touched my com unit attached to my suit, "Cisco, where's the fire again?"
A huge yawn later, "12th Avenue, oh, and the firefighters are already on the scene."
I winced, "Okay, I'll see what I can do." I flipped into full gear and flashed down the street, accidentally setting off the alarms on the cars that I passed.
     Finally, in the distance, I could make out the orange and red flare of the fire. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. The flames licked the side of the building, turning it black. The only part that wasn't enveloped in flames, was the very top floor, six stories high.
     "Oh, man," I breathed, "Cisco, can you tell Caitlin and Iris I might not be there for breakfast today."
     I ran forward, up the side of the burning building, careful not to actually roast myself alive. I could hear some people screaming on the top floor, so I doubled my speed and reached the top floor.
     "Cisco," I said, trying to breath without smoke clogging my lungs, "Can you tap into the footage cameras and tell me how many people are in there?"
     "On it," he responded.
     I took a deep breath and plunged into the black smoke.
     The walls were burnt black, and the smoke didn't make it any easier to see. I followed my hearing, until I came to a door that was barred by a beam of smoked wood.
     "Looks like there's two people in that room your outside of now," Cisco reported, "The room's full of smoke, so hurry it up."
     I closed my eyes and focused, feeling the air around me, the lightning coursing through my body. And . . . my body phased right through the door.
     "I'm in," I said, coughing a little, "I'm gonna make a wind funnel and suck out the oxygen- "
     " -so the fire goes out," Cisco finished, "Good one! Now hurry up before your smoked!"
     I ran into the room, and spotted a couple beside a couch. A women was passed out, and a man was holding her up, coughing harder every minute.
     Lifting my arms up, a swirled them as fast as my arms could move. Lightning sparked off my arms as a wind funnel started to form, sucking all the smoke from the air.
     Tilting me arms, I aimed the smoke out of a broken window. Faster and faster, until the cracks and pops of the fire were diminished.
     I stopped and panted hard, "I think- I think we're in the clear."
     "Boom, baby!" Cisco yelled.
     I helped the man up, and took the women in my arms, "Come on, let's get you down to the firefighters."
                                 ***
     "Good job, Barry!" Iris patted my back, "The wind funnel was sure a good idea."
     I wiped my face off with my hand, "Yeah, it was pretty cool."
Cisco jumped out of his chair beside the long desk, "The Flash, saves an entire building from burning down! That's front page news."
Caitlin laughed, "Everything The Flash does is front page news, Cisco."
I grinned. Sitting in Star Labs with my three best friends was pretty awesome, it's just . . . why couldn't my Dad have been there too?
"Barry?" Caitlin looked at me, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," I wiped my eyes that were starting to water, "I just, uh, need to talk to Joe."
I zipped from the room, down the hall, (somewhere along the way, got a fresh pair of clothes on) and down the C. C. P. D.
Joe was sitting at his desk like he usually did, writing down something in his notebook.
I came up behind him and looked at his computer, "Hey,"
Joe looked up, "Barry, what are you doing up this early?"
I shrugged, "Fire emergency."
He chuckled, "Oh, right," he turned back to his computer, "Actually, now that you're here, there's something I wanted to show you."
He typed into his keyboard, "People have been seeing something, like . . . a blue streak in the city."
I squinted at the image that Joe had brought up on his screen. It was a blurred photo of something, or someone is silver armor. I could make out flickers of blue lightning around the figures form.
"You think it could be- ?" Joe asked, looking around to make sure no one was listening.
I nodded, "Another speedster, I'm betting."
Suddenly, a loud crash reverberated around the police department. The people inside shouted in alarm, falling over, or dropping their coffee.
The sky turned a dark green color, the clouds shifting at an unnatural speed. I ran over to the window, Joe close behind me.
"What the hell?" Joe stared out the window.
I stared at the sky, and could've sworn I saw something drop. I pressed my hand against the window, "I gotta go . . . "
I flashed out of the building and reentered my suit. Turning on the communicator, I shouted, "Cisco? Can you hear me?"
There was static, then he picked up, "Yeah, I can- holy mother- "
I quickly interrupted, "Cisco, what's wrong with the sky?"
There was muffled talking, "Uh, Caitlin says there's some strange reading on our radar systems. I think something's messing with our dimension."
"Wait, what?!" I yelled.
I ran up the side of C. C. P. D. and stood on the roof.
"Uh, guys?" I stared at the darkening sky, "What do I do?"
Cisco gulped, "Barry, I think this is a portal. It's opening up from a different dimension. Dude, someone's coming through it!"
Very suddenly, I saw a hole open in the sky, and a red and blue blur shot out. It hurtled towards the city, threatening to crash into a local park.
As the blur passed through the hole, the sky abruptly turned back to blue.
"Oh, man," Cisco's mutter turned to a full blown yell, "That's a person falling from the sky!"
