*Barry's POV*
I was running to S.T.A.R. Labs, I couldn't wait to see Hazel. I arrived in the S.T.A.R. Labs Cortex and the smile that sported my face disappeared. I saw Ronnie and Caitlin knocked unconscious on the floor. "Ronnie! Caitlin!" I exclaimed. I ran to them. I shook them and they both slowly woke up. Ronnie jolted up, "Hazel." Ronnie said as he stood up. "Where's Hazel?" "Barry. Hazel fought a Man in Yellow. He was just like you. He took her outside." Caitlin said. I flashed outside. I searched for Hazel, my eyes grazed the ground and fell upon a dark silhouette. I ran to it. It was Hazel, she was on the ground in a pool of blood coming from her abdomen. Her chest was rising and falling slightly. Her eyes were closed. "HAZEL!" I ran to her and slid. I picked her up and ran her into S.T.A.R. Labs. I listened for a heartbeat, there was a very slow beat. I took her to the med-room.She bled on the bed. She spoke. "Barry...I know who did this..." she said in a soft whisper. "I know...Hazel...it was the Reverse Flash." "No...I know who did this...." she said weakly. "You know who the Reverse Flash is? Who is he? Stay with me, Hazel. Tell me who did this to you. What's his name?" I asked frantically. "He's...H-" she began to say. Her eyes closed slowly and her head fell to the side. Her hand that was previously holding my cheek...fell to her side. "HAZEL?," I heard the EKG flat-line. "Hazel?! Hazel! Don't do this to me, Raymond. Please! I'm begging you! Open your eyes!" I screamed. Tears were rolling down my face. I cried, I wiped a strand of hair out of her face and kissed her lips. "Please Hazel! I'm nothing without you! I need you! Without you...I'm nobody...You are what makes me the Flash. The Barry Allen you fell in love with...was because of you." I said in tears.
"Where you at Hazel? I want to show-" Cisco said as he entered the Cortex and looked over at the room I was in. "-you. Oh my god!" Cisco exclaimed. He ran to her. I wiped the tears out of my eyes and tried to shock her heart back, like the last time. Joe ran to me, he was pulling me away. "She's gone, Barr. She's gone, son. I'm so sorry!" Joe said as he restrained me. I cried and suddenly I was 11 again seeing my mother get murdered. This is what it felt like. "She was fighting him Joe." "Who? Who was she fighting?" "The Reverse Flash. He was here tonight. She died because I wasn't here. She died because I was at CCPD." I said as I looked over at Hazel's dead body. My knees buckled and I fell to the floor in tears.
Caitlin covered her face. Ronnie just stood there stunned. He walked out shaking his head. His head and hands erupted into flames. He punched the wall as he left the Cortex. I wiped my tears with my hands. I stood up and looked at Hazel. My body shook with anger. "Barry don't-" I flashed out. I ran to the middle of the woods and let out a bloodcurdling scream. I fell to my knees.
