This is a story about what I think should have happened after Henry Allens death except his friends locking him up in the pipeline. I really hope you guys enjoy this! More below!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story, but the plot! Enjoy!
Barry watched as Zoom stabbed his own father with his hand. The way his dad dropped to his knees, brought memories flooding back to Barry. His father, Henry Allen, the man that taught him to walk, ride a bike, one of the first people Barry ever truly loved, was now nearly limp as his body fell to the floor. To Barry it felt like an eternity, he wanted to take in as much time as he had with his father left, who's life was now going to end because of Barry. Because he wasn't fast enough.
Barry ran to the man, holding on to him like he was the only thing Barry had left. The feeling of Henry's cold skin under Barry's fingers was truly heartbreaking.
"Dad! Please, dad. Come on! Come on!"
Every ounce of love Barry had was replaced with a rage, as he realized Hunter Zolloman, a man who he once thought of as a friend, just killed his only living blood left on this Earth. He ran to the man, grabbing him by the neck and looking him dead in the eyes, trying his best to show no emotion.
"Come on flash, use that anger, end me. That's what will make you just. Like. Me."
Those three words pounded against Barry's skull as he struggled to breath. Just like me, Barry could never be just like him, not even remotely close to anything like him. Barry's instinct kicked in and he started running, faster than he's ever ran before. With every step he pounded harder to the ground. Feeling the energy surge through him. Every tear that trickled down his face was a memory, a reminder, that Barry will never make another memory with his father.
The buildings around Barry came to a blur, the conversations of the people on the street became a hushed whisper. Everything felt as though it was pushing on Barry, becoming compacted into a world Barry didn't know anymore.
Suddenly Barry came to an abrupt stop and fell to his knees, letting every emotion he had flood out of him. He didn't know where he was and he quite honestly didn't care until he heard a familiar voice.
"Barry," the voice almost sounded excited, Barry looked up to see Oliver queen standing over him. He was in the "Arrow Cave".
"Barry?" Oliver now said sounding concerned. The man walked up to Barry. Oliver saw the pain in the mans eyes, eyes that are usually filled with positivity, hope. Now all he saw was a dark void, if the black void held any hope, Oliver couldn't find it. He knew what he wanted to do the moment he saw Barry's eyes, he wanted to inflict pain on whoever did this to the young man he calls his brother.
Barry stood up, trying to regain balance. All of team flash saw how the once tall and strong man fell back to the floor, limp and weak. As he began to sob his whole body started vibrating. Oliver went to go touch Barry but wasn't sure if that could hurt him, he tried to put his hand on the mans shoulder but his hand fell through what felt like air.
Suddenly, without warning Barry shot up into the air and started pacing the room, faster than a normal person.
"I'm going to kill him Ollie, I'm going to take everything from him, EVERYTHING!" The mans face filled with anger and pain, Oliver had felt pain like Barry is going through but Barry's seems to be taking it harder.
"Kill who?" Oliver finally spoke up, this wasn't Barry, this wasn't his Barry.
"ZOOM Ollie! ZOOM damnit, that son of a bitch is going to die! He told me that I was just like him! He killed my dad just to prove a point!" Oliver winced as Barry said that, his dad, the man was only 26 and he's already experienced so much pain. He was strong, stronger than Oliver, but Barry always, always, had a good heart.
"Look..." Oliver began, struggling to find the right words, "I do know what you're going through, maybe not in the same circumstances but I have gone through this. You can't let it get through to you. Barry, you are such a strong man, stronger than me, so I can't even begine to fathom the pain you're going through. Killing is not the answer, no matter how much you think it is. Killing will change you Barry, it will take away the innocent man I know, the man I think of as a brother. You will never be the same, so that's why you have to promise me, promise me Barry that you won't resort to killing." Barry merely nodded Ollie made his promise.
"I'm scared Ollie, I'm scared that when I'm not watching, Zoom will come and kill all of my family. That's why I have to constantly have them in my vision. And even give up my own life if it means saving them," Barry sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair, " I don't want you to worry about me if i die, just remember me, but do not mourne".
That's the thing Oliver hated about Barry. Barry expected nobody to become sad after he dies. He wants them to continue on their life's. It wasn't fair. He didn't want them to fall into a depression after he's gone, but let him go out doing what he loves, saving people's life's.
