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

Fallen Hero

Ella's POV.

Once Ella got to STAR LABS she talked to Cisco and Caitlin and met the Earth 2 doppelgänger of Harrison Wells. He was quite grumpy. Cisco and Caitlin explained everything that had been going on to Ella.

It took a little bit for her to wrap her head around all of it. Infinite earths, an evil speedster from another earth, the earth two version of the Flash named Jay Garrick, evil meta doppelgängers. It was a lot to take in. Ella knew that her life would change once she got involved with the Flash, but this was crazy!

Later that evening Ella was sitting and talking to Caitlin. "Do you ever get used to all this?" Ella asked her. She smiled and looked around. Caitlin shook her head. "No not really. Every day I find myself questioning how this could even be my life, but it is what it is." Ella nodded.

Just then a gust of wind blew past her. Papers went flying everywhere. Caitlin and Ella reached out to grab them. Ella looked up to see Barry standing  in the lab talking to Cisco. Harry came in and began looking through footage of something. Caitlin walked over to look.

Eventually Cisco went over to where the Flash suit was and placed the emblem back on. "There you go. It's like you think these things just grow in trees or something." He commented. "And we threw away the last one for nothing." Barry answered.

"You've been going over this footage dozens of times. Everything went exactly according to plan." Caitlin told him. Ella got up from her seat and walked over to the group. "If it had, someone would have shown up." Harry said. "Maybe Light was wrong. Maybe he can't see through the breaches. Maybe he finally decided to give up." Barry said.

Ella stood beside Caitlin and Barry smiled at her he opened his mouth to say something, but his phone interrupted him. Barry looked at it and answered. "Hey, Ir-" Barry began, but stopped short. His face took a look of concern. "Hey, Iris slow down. I can't understand you." He told her.

Just then am alarm began to sound. Harry looked at the computer and jumped up. "Wh-"Barry took the phone away from his ear. "Zoom has Linda!" Cisco looked at the computer then to Barry. "He's on the roof!" With a flash Barry was gone.

Caitlin rushed to the main computer and turned on the security footage. Everyone gathered around. The front of the building was empty. "Where is he?" Ella asked in concern.

Just then she saw a yellow streak fly across the screen and a second later Barry was there in his suit. It seemed that he was rotating his arms quickly to make wind. Suddenly a girl dropped into his arms. It was Linda. He had saved her. He set her down. Linda said something to him looking at Zoom. Without acknowledging what she had said he said something back. She nodded and took off.

Once Barry turned around with his back facing the camera, a speedster, who Ella assumed was Zoom, appeared standing a few feet in front of Barry. He was dressed from head to toe in black with white lightning crackling around him

"Zoom cannot be human." Caitlin declared watching the screen. "He is. Or was." Harry confirmed. "How in the world is Barry supposed to defeat that?!" Ella asked. Cisco looked at her with a worried expression that didn't make Ella feel any better.

Suddenly Barry took off. "Why is he running away?" Harry asked with an annoyed tone. A streak of yellow lighting began circling the building. "He's not. He's not scared." Cisco determined.

"Oooh! He's gonna thunder bolt him!" He exclaimed. Both Ella and Harry looked at him in confusion. "What?" Ella asked. "Jay taught him how to throw lightning." Caitlin said with a triumphant smirk. And just as Cisco predicted Barry threw a lightning bolt at Zoom.
