Heartache (Completed)

Chapter 27: Recovery (Or Not)

Note: Remember, the last GoldenVibe chapter was before Flashpoint.

Sorry that it went so dark! It should get lighter soon!

...

When Lisa saw Cisco next, she was so excited. She had missed him, and without her brother and Mick, she was bored out of her mind. She wondered what he was doing. Thinking about her, maybe?

But when she got there, she was surprised to find that he was glaring at a picture of her. "Cisco?" she asked. But Cisco didn't answer.

Wasn't that his vibing face?

Suddenly, he gasped and jumped back, and she could see tears forming. He turned to face her, and his usual smile was gone. "Get out," he said. Lisa looked at him in confusion. "Why?" she asked, scared to know the answer. 

She hadn't done anything wrong since she started her relationship with Cisco. She hadn't cheated on him, or committed any crimes except robbing a bank here and there. Why did he look so mad at her, almost like she had broken his heart.

"You know what you did," Cisco said. Suddenly, an idea came to him. "Lisa," he said. "Have you ever slept with Barry?" Lisa looked at him. "You really think I would ever sleep with your best friend?" she asked. "Besides, he's a total dweeb."

Cisco looked so relieved, and it made her mad. "You actually think I would do that?" she asked. Cisco looked at her. "You did. In the other timeline." 

"What. The. Hell?" she shouted. Cisco looked like a deer in headlights. "How do you know that?" she asked, deadly serious. Cisco gulped. He was about to doom his friendship with Barry.

"Well, uh, Barry kinda, uh, changed the timeline? I think?" Cisco said. Lisa looked at him like he was crazy, then ran out. He was insane. She could get a new boyfriend. 

...

"Captain Lance," Gideon said urgently. 

"Yes, Gideon?" Sara replied. "Please hurry into Barry's room. It's life or death."

...

Sara gasped. There was Barry, hanging from his ceiling fan. She didn't even know that he could do that. He barely fit in his room as is, let alone extra room. (Height wise) 

"Gideon?" she asked in complete shock. "You can still save him. Get him to the MedBay. Now," Gideon said. Sara nodded. 

She could barely think, let alone move, but she somehow untied the knot of the rope around his neck, gathered Barry in her arms and bolted to the MedBay.

...

When Jax saw his friend in Sara's arms, he immediately wondered what was going on. Usually it was Barry running, not Sara.

"Sara? Barry?" he called as Sara raced past him. Then he realized that Barry was unconscious. How he didn't notice Barry's eyes closed was beyond him, but by the time he came out of his thoughts, Sara and Barry were gone.

...

Stein saw Sara racing through the hall, but he paid no attention until he realized that there was a person in her arms. Then he wondered why Sara was carrying him/her. 

By the time he looked back, they were gone.

...

Mick was watching a basketball game with some beers and Len. "Curry!" moaned Len while Mick grinned. They had made a bet and Mick was winning, just like always. It infuriated Len so much that he had to win a bet, and by doing so, he was getting reckless.

It was hilarious. 

Suddenly he heard a loud grunt behind him. He turned, and saw Len do the same. There was Sara, and she was grunting with the effort of carrying an unconscious Barry.

Mick ignored them, but Len rushed to help.

"Can I help?" he asked anxiously. Sara shook her head. "I don't know why, but Barry's been having bad reactions when you're around. You should probably stay away from him for the time being."

That hurt.

While he was pitying his feelings, Sara rushed off in search of the MedBay, which was surprisingly hard to find.

...

Carter and Kendra were sparing, and Carter was kicking her ass.

Suddenly, Sara shoved her way through them, knocking Carter off balance and giving Kendra an opening. She pounced, completely ignoring Sara. She didn't really care what that was about.

Carter didn't either, so neither noticed when she slipped away. Neither noticed the person in her arms.

... 

When Sara finally arrived, Ray was waiting for her. 

Ray, being completely ignorant, totally missed the person in her arms. 

"Sara?" Ray asked. Sara rolled her eyes. Why'd it have to be Ray? Anyone else would have been better.

After all, Ray couldn't keep a secret for the life of him, and she guessed Barry didn't want everyone to find out that he had attempted to hang himself.

"Can you keep a secret?" she asked, already knowing the answer, but knowing she didn't have much time. Barry had accelerated healing, but it was unlikely that his neck could heal before it killed him.

Not that he wanted it to, but still.

...

Note: It's so weird how I think of this picture. It's like he's strapping in to keep this secret, and he's excited for the adventure. 

He face won't be so smiley once he actually hears the secret.
