Episode 10 The Flash Fanfic

Chapter 6

"Hello? Joe? Iris? Are any of you here?" Barry called out as he stepped through the open door to his house. But, there was no answer. He checked the rooms looking for any sign of his family but the house was absolutely empty.

He suddenly felt the presence of someone standing in the doorway behind him. "Grodd evacuated the entire town." Eobard told him,

Barry turned around, a little startled to see him standing there in his true form. "Eobard Thawne was it?" Barry asked him.

"In the flesh, Barry Allen." Eobard replied, "Have you made a decision?"

Barry thought again about his answer. In the other world the other Barry was set to get his powers due to the particle accelerator, though in this world he had received them via the radiation from the meteor shower. Though Eobard was giving Barry the chance to go back and save his mother. He might still have his powers, he wasn't sure, but at least his mother would still be alive.

He might not know any of his friends now, but he needed to consider if that was a risk that he was willing to take. "I need a little more time." he replied.

A look of frustration fell across Eobard's face. Nonetheless, he nodded and left to give Barry the time he needed.

Barry picked up the telephone and dialed CCPD. For the first time ever the phone rang out. He tried again but got the same response. He sped through the town, in his suit, searching for stragglers, but found none. Thawne was right, the entire town was gone. Barry stood on the road in the middle of the street, outside of STAR Labs. He was going to go inside and check the security footage.

For a moment, he could have sworn that he had heard the sound of a car coming down the street. He saw two bright headlights coming straight for him. He stepped off the road and watched as the car came to an abrupt stop in front of him. He recognized the occupants immediately. Leonard Snart and Mick Rory.

"Great!" Barry said with sarcasm, as the two of them jumped out of the car, holding their weapons aimed at him. But they didn't shoot. In fact, it looked as if they needed his help.

"Flash... I know we don't generally get along too well... but, I think this time we might need to make an exception!" Leonard told him as he lowered his weapon and asked his companion to do the same.

"The two of you should be in jail." Barry told them.
"Yet, we're not, which means we're good at our jobs!" Mick told him.
The Flash shook his head softly and looked at Leonard. "What do you want?"

"I just want my sister back." Leonard told him, "You see, she was here in Central City a couple of hours ago and when we were meant to meet up in Sterling city, she had just vanished. I thought 'oh it's just Lisa... she likes to keep us guessing'... but then..."

"...But then you realized the entire town had gone missing too." Barry finished his sentence, then continued, "...why should I help you?"

"...Because you're the good guy... you help people... and right now..." Snart continued.

"Right now you need my help?" Barry gathered. He decided to push aside his hatred for the two criminals. It was true that they would need to work together to get the whole city back. Though somehow he felt that Astrid and Cisco would disagree with him.

The next day, the Flash asked Leonard and Mick Rory to wait downstairs at STAR Labs, while he approached Cisco and Astrid with the idea.

He found Astrid and Cisco in a bizarrely good mood, as they were going through the security footage of the night before. Barry had forgotten to do so last night.
