Barry Snart (Completed)

Chapter 3

(12 Years Ago)

Barry looked at Lisa and Len and realized he was scared.

What if they were caught?

"Relax," Len whispered.

"I don't know if I can do this, Lenny," Lisa admitted.

"Of course you can. We all can. I promise you," Len said, and Barry felt like he was drowning.

"What if one of us dies?" Barry whispered.

"That won't happen. Now, let's stop worrying and blow this popsicle stand," Len said, and that's when they ran.

They ran, and Barry felt his blood run through his veins. He barely heard Len or Lisa over the wind in his ears and his feet hitting the ground.

He forgot about Lewis, why he was running, his mother, Lisa, Len, everything.

He never wanted to come back.

Barry would never forget what happened next.

...

When he woke for the second time, he was terrified.

What had happened to common sense!?!

"Calm down, Barry," Dr. Snow ordered.

"I can't! You people are crazy! and where's my real brother?"

"I am your real brother, Barry," Len said.

"Prove it," Barry challenged.

"Lewis Snart was a bad man."

Barry nodded.

He threw himself into Len's arms.

"I love you," he murmured.

He jumped away from Len when he heard someone shout.

"He's ok!" Lisa shouted as she raced in, Shawna right behind her.

"I told you not to tell her!" Len protested.

"I don't listen to you. You know that. Now give me a hug, Barry."

"I don't listen to you," Barry said.

Lisa chuckled. "When you've been in a coma for 9 months, you do."

"Are you my real sister?" Barry asked suspiciously. 

Len (He was standing behind Barry) gestured for her to come over.

"He thinks that we're lying," he whispered, "If you tell him something that's not on public records, he'll believe you."

Lisa walked back in front of him.

She pulled down her shirt, just above her bra, and showed him a scar.

"This one was from a knife, which you witnessed, and I got it for failing to pick a lock. Correct?"

Barry nodded.

He gestured to his bicep. "This one was from a fist, which you witnessed, and I got it for punching a boy at school."

Lisa nodded sadly.

"Why did you punch Jimmy?"

"He threatened to hurt Lenny."

Lisa smiled sadly.

"We had terrible lives until we met you, Barry Snart," she said. Barry nodded.

"Now, it's true. You were struck by lightning. Do you want some proof?"

Barry nodded.

"What is today?"
