At first, all Barry could feel was the sadness, the crushing betrayal.
Then he felt the rage.
It coursed through his veins like lighting, making every ounce of his body ache with anger. With betrayal. With hurt.
With rage.
How could they do that to him? They-they-they had let it happen! Allowed it to happen!
They had broken his spirt...
...And he didn't know if it could be fixed.
...
Barry had spent years learning to hide his emotions. He had just never had a serious reason to use that skill.
Now, he did.
Quicker than Jesse Quick herself, Barry rearranged his features, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling.
He could hear Caitlin say his name, and he turned to her, blank look on his face. It was extremely difficult not to lash out. Hit them. Hurt them.
Break them.
Somehow, he resisted.
Barely.
He knew that things were going to be different from how they used to, but maybe they could get back there.
Hopefully they could get back there.
...
"WHAT!?!?!?" Barry screamed. Iris and Joe gulped. This might be a tab bit harder than they thought it would be...
"You lost your job, Barry," Joe sighed sadly. "And you just let it happen?" Barry questioned, deadly quiet.
Joe and Iris weren't thinking. That's their excuse for what happened next.
"Yes?" Iris said, hiding cowardly behind Joe. (For good reason!)
Barry's entire body started to vibrate so fast, sparks started flying off him, and electrifying the air. It was amazing and terrifying all at once.
"Bear?" Iris squeaked, but Barry was too caught up in his anger. They had let Singh take his job away! There was no forgiveness for that.
Suddenly, Barry was upstairs, and not entirely sure how he had gotten up there. It took a moment, but he realized that he was in the bathroom.
With the door closed.
And locked.
And a razor in hand.
How did that even happen?
...
Len had felt heartbreak before. He knew what it felt like, to have one of the only people who matter to you suddenly say they didn't want you, didn't care about you, but this was a whole new level.
Flashback (Or, Coldback, if you will. ;D)
Len looked up. He couldn't believe it. He had thought things were doing well, not getting worse.
How could this be happening?
"No, Carter, please," Len begged as Carter turned his back to him. "I still love you!" Len cried out. Carter continued to walk away, never looking back. "You will find someone else to love," he said, never stopping.
Len felt his heart shatter. "What did I do?" he asked, but Carter was already gone, never to look back.
End of Coldback
