Turn A Blind Eye (Barry Allen/Oliver Queen)

The Flash Is Born

Caitlin had been searching for weeks on end at her diagnostitics from when Barry had been in his coma; all results stating he should have been fine. Should have been! Her friend now had no sight, and she couldn't help but feel guilty. Even Cisco turned serious on occasion when he would see Barry fumble for a wall of table to lean on the guide him.

"Cat, get in here!" Cisco shouted in the main area of the lab, Caitlin only just hearing him through the closed door adjacent to it. She raised her eyes from the stacks of paper in front of her, moving out of her chair and through the door. The sight of Barry leaning on a table with one hand resting on the flat surface while the other hand clenched his stomach and Cisco looking like a deer in headlight greeted her.

"Okay, what happened, Cisco?" Cisco began to stutter before he slowed down.

"Barry has super speed," it came out as a barely audible whisper, from an obvious frightened Cisco. Caitlin looked as her other friend was still looking ill.

"No way," it was pretty cool to find out. Well, until Barry was sick on the table, narrowly missing important equipment.

"Aw, gross!" Cisco looked sick now too, Caitlin pointed a finger in his direction.

"You puke, and you clean the entire lab!" Caitlin put Barry's arm around her should, supporting his weight as they waddled to the small medical area. Barry lowered himself onto one of the chairs.

"Sorry for being sick!" His face was still tinged green and yellow, as Caitlin dabbed at his mouth and chin with a tissue.

"It's okay, it happens to everyone." Catlin paused for a couple of seconds, opening a bottle of water and handing it to Barry. "Was Cisco right, do you really have super speed?"

"How should I know, I'm inhibited to have seen to point from where I started to where I ended up." He sipped at the water slowly. "But Cisco said I had gotten over to the table from the other side of the room in half a second."

"That's kind of cool," Caitlin commented, in a way happy that Barry couldn't see her lips form into a tight straight line from thought.

"You okay?" He asked. Yes, Barry had some kind of strange sense for knowing whenever one of his friends was concerned.

"I'm fine," Lie! Very big lie! This opened up new possiblities from that explosion. What if more people had been struck by that Lightning. What if Ronnie was like this?

"Barry!" Dr Wells called out, sounding somewhat angry. Why was he pissed off?

"Yes, Dr Wells?" Caitlin led him out of the room, the pair standing before the scientist aware of what was happening.

"When did you discover your speed?"

"Only a few minutes ago, Cisco saw me move across the room in half a second." Dr Wells looked to Cisco, who only nodded. Dr Wells should have always been in the know whenever something happened, or anyone who didn't tell him something important, well, Cisco wasn't sure what happened to anyone that defied Wells.

"We have to study this." Caitlin slowly released Barry's arm.

"Dr Wells," she began slowly. "With all due respect, I think we should be focusing on Barry's eyesight moreso than his speed. What if he hurt himself because he couldn't see where he was going?"

Dr Wells looked at Caitlin square in the eyes.

"Okay, Miss Snow. You have a deal." Caitlin nodded in appreciation, being to walk beside him as they moved to the main entrance of the lab. "But if his eyesight can't be fixed, Miss Snow, consider your college qualification nullified when people find out your technology made Mr Allen blind."

Caitlin stood in shock as Wells rolled away. She had been studying about the human body even after college, about illness, imparements of any kind. Her technology was made to help people, and Wells had confirmed something she had no clue about. Her tech had blinded Barry somehow.

A.N. Okay, so this came out quicker than expected. I'd start to write another chapter, but I really want my dinner. So, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and another one should be coming soon.
