Bravery Requires Fear

Barry Allen almost died that night. He managed to escape to another earth but the damage was done. The Flash had been defeated, Barry Allen was gone. On that mysterious earth he's saved by a group of heroes who he would soon come to call his friends.

On that earth he meets someone who opens her door to him and gives him a place to stay, he meets someone who's cold and tough, but terribly fragile underneath. All Elaine knows is that this man has been through something horrible and can't find his way back, all she wants to do is help.

But to save someone requires bravery, and bravery requires fear.
