Barry was in complete darkness for who knows how long. He remembered pushing his little brother as hard as he could when he saw that bolt of lightning so all he could think about was 'how's Peter'. He knew Peter was alive since he heard his voice occasionally along with a bunch of others. He could not understand them.

Was he dead? Although if he was, he should be burning in hell for all that he had done. Not just sit there in complete darkness for eternity. Though that was a valid punishment, it wasn't as severe as he had been expecting. But he wasn't exactly sitting, or standing. He was just…there.

He had tried his best but there was no way he could return so he had a lot of time to think. All he thought about was Sebastian and Peter.

He regretted Sebastian and decided then and there that he would never let Sebastian come out again. He was now completely Bartholomew Henry Allen and Sebastian Smythe was dead. He had always been a flawless liar. So if he were to run into any of his…acquaintances from high school he could easily handle them.

The second part of his brain was occupied with his brother. He had treated his brother so harshly, all because of jealousy. He didn't care about Peter Parker being Spider-Man anymore. As far as he cared, Peter Parker was his only family. And he was going to be treated like it. Whenever he got back he would immediately apologise.

That is, if he ever got back.

It had been so long.

But one day, or night he didn't know, he saw light. For the first time in months, he opened his eyes.

And nearly got blinded. The room he was in, was a very bright white.

All he could notice was that he was in a hospital bed that wasn't really soft and and that he was surrounded by machines. A few tubes were connected to him. The monitor besides him was beeping loudly.

Then there were people. Two to be exact. One of them was a woman. He couldn't see her face clearly. Or here her voice. All his senses weren't working properly. Then they started to. He could now see her clearly, she was beautiful, and he could hear her asking him how he was feeling, if he could feel his legs and if he could urinate in a cup.

Then a voice, clearly male, behind him said "relax Caitlin, he's confused"

Damn right he was. When his voice finally came back he asked "what the hell is going on? Where am I?And who are you? What happened?"

" I'm Cisco Ramon, and she's Caitlin" the woman gave him a look, he rolled his eyes "Dr. Snow"

"And you're at STAR labs"

Too confused to be excited he asked " But why am I here?"

"You were struck by lightning, dude"

'What?' Scientifically, if he got struck by lightning, he should be extra crispy right now.

"And you were in a coma" he continued " just woke up"

" A coma? For how long" he asked, panicking " and where is my brother? Is he alright?"

"9 months. And dude, you just got struck by lightning, and woke up,from a coma. And you're worried about your brother?"

9 months? Peter would be devastated. He didn't deserve losing his brother. Although he did have his new 'family'. Barry didn't hate the Avengers, how could he? They were THE AVENGERS. But that didn't mean he had to like them.

"Enough thinking", he thought as he jumped up from the bed and started pulling out the tubes, much to the protest of Dr. Snow. But as he saw the mirror he froze.

"Lightning gave me abs?"

The words were out before he could stop them.

No time to look at your body Barry, you can do that later, he thought. But as he started out of the door he realised something else, he was shirtless.

"Um….." He said as he pointed at his chest

"Right" said Cisco, he picked up a STAR labs sweatshirt and threw it at him.

Barry ran out of the lab and out of STAR labs only to remember that he didn't ask where his brother was.

He decided that his best chance was e Avengers tower where all of the avengers lived but as he made his way through the he crowded streets of New York, he saw a coffee shop, Jitters.

Realising he hadn't had coffee in like, 9 months he decide to grab a cup.

But inside what he found was the most saddest seen ever.

It had been 9 months and Barry still hadn't woke up. He had started to lose hope and so Tony decided to cheer him up.

But Tony's idea of cheering up was getting a coffee. So they decided to go for a walk and run into the first coffee shop they saw. Which happened to be Jitters. Barry's favourite.

He remembered Barry going in here all the time.

He missed his brother. As they ordered and sat down. He saw what Tony had got for him and just, broke.

It was Barry's usual.

He couldn't stop the hot tears that came running down. He felt a little embarrassed to be crying in public but Tony didn't mind. He just held his son close as he let go.

"Pete?"

Came the timid voice of a brunette standing at the entrance. Peter wouldn't have given him at lance if he hadn't recognised the nickname from his childhood.

"Bar?"

"Yes it's me Pete"

Peter had to blink twice before rubbing his eyes to check if he was dreaming. But it was true, all true. His brother was standing in front of him a relieved look on his face. His brother, who was alive.

Before he knew it, he was hugging him, and Barry was hugging him back.

"You're awake!"

Peter cried with happiness. He didn't care about all of the attention that he was drawing. His brother, who had finally opened his eyes, was just staring at him.

"And you're alright" he said, with a sigh of relief.

"I love you"

That was the first time he had heard those words from his brother.

"And I know it's probably too late, But I'm so so sorry"

"For what?" asked Peter, too happy to notice his brother's sadness.

"For being a jerk" said Barry "and for hating you for no reason. For not being the brother you deserved. For not supporting you when you needed it most. For abandoning you. And for everything else I did that I can't possibly list right now. I'm sorry."

"Oh Barry, I don't care, I never have. You don't need to apologise."

"Yes I do Pete. I was a terrible person to you. And I promise, Sebastian is dead. My name, is Barry Allen."

"That's all I could ever ask for"

"Now, tell me everything, how have you been? What did I miss?" Asked Barry.

"Oh not much" said Peter nonchalantly.

"Found someone special?" Said Barry, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Yes I have actually" said Peter.

"Really ?" Said Barry, evidently surprised "who?"

"Gwen Stacy"

Barry just raised an eyebrow.

"She's an intern at OsCorp. And daughter of the chief of police."

"Oh you mea-"

Barry's POV

But before he could finish that sentence, something weird happened.

A waitress slipped on something and as she fell down, everything became in slow motion. But only for a second. Then it was back to normal.

But that wasn't all, his hands were shaking. But not exactly shaking, they were vibration. Like shaking extremely fast.

He had the get out of here before someone noticed something.

"Oh god I just remembered, I have to go to STAR labs." Using his excellent lying skills, he said "they let me come here because, I wanted to see you. But we have to run some tests for any side effects from the lightning."

Peter looked disappointed.

"Oh don't worry it'll not take very long. Just tell me where to meet you and I'll be there by seven. Okay?"

"Okay. Meet me at the entrance of the Avengers tower."

"Alright. Bye Pete"

"Bye Bar".

Barry walked out of there as unsuspiciously as he could and as soon as he was out, he ran into the first alley he could find. He looked at his rapidly vibrating hand. 'What was happening to him?'

As he tried to get behind a car, he felt a whoosh and he was there. He had travelled like ten feet under a second. 'What the actual hell?'

Deciding to test his new found speed, he saw a truck and decided to run over there as fast as he could. There was another whoosh and there he was, inside the truck.

He couldn't stop himself from giggling. Lightning didn't only give him abs, it gave him super powers. Like an actual super power.

Well, this just got a tad bit more interesting.

In my story, Gwen isn't dead. That's it. End of discussion.

Please leave a review. I appreciate it.

Buh-bye!
