Hey, everybody! I saw that this place didn't have any stories in it yet, so I figured, I'd be the first person to throw something out there! I hope you like it!
The Year 2024.
Barry held a bleeding Iris as she gasped for breath.
The crisis had been awful. Destructive. Crippling.
The worst part was there was nowhere to run. There was nothing he could do. His legs had been broken in the battle.
Suddenly a Yellow suited figure stood over them.
Barry automatically knew who it was. But he couldn't take his eyes off of Iris as she placed her hand on his face, uttering the final words "I love you." And just like that, she was gone. He'd lost her. Just like he'd lost his mother.
It was a nightmare he was reliving all over again.
Then spoke the ice cold voice of the man who'd become his worst enemy. "Aw. That's a shame. I guess you just weren't fast enough. If it had been me, I would have saved her. But you just had to be running around, pretending to be a hero."
Barry lifted his glare to meet the pulsing red eyes of Eddie Thawne. Of course, he now knew that Eddie was not his real name, but it was always the name that came to mind. Barry just glared at him, before angrily just asking the simple question, "Why? Why did you do this?"
He almost seemed confused for a second, before letting that fall away and saying, "I didn't do this. You did, Flash." Eddie gave a small snort of laughter as he kneeled down in front of Barry. "Did you, in your supreme hubris really believe that you could play superhero without repercussions? Actions have consequences. Nobody knows that better than you. Joe, Iris, your Mother, even your Father. You brought every ounce of misery on all of them." Eddie then stood up, gesturing to the immense destruction around them, as if to point to it, to all the victims of it being because of him. "It's all your fault"
Tears began to pour down Barry's cheeks as he looked back down at Iris, Eddie's words eating him up inside. He was right. Barry knew it. He'd known from the very beginning that the people he loved would be put in danger because of what he did. But he stayed with them anyway. Because he loved them. Because he loved her. And because he wanted to be with her so much. It was all so selfish.
Barry bowed his head in defeat. Because that's what he was: Defeated. The Reverse-Flash had defeated the Flash.
Eddie simply stared at him for a moment, offering a faux look of sympathy, before just smirking and saying, "Well, I'll be seeing ya." And with that, he left Barry there in his loneliness and pain and complete misery.
Well, what did you think? Please tell me! And before someone says something, yes, I know that this isn't what the show's path, but please, bear with me, and let's have fun with it.
