The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (Male Reader Insert)

1.5 Rise of a Hero

In his lab, Barry Allen was going over several notes and items he'd posted to a bulletin board. Normally, a board such as this would be filled with evidence about his mother's murder. This one was different. It was going over reports and potential locations for Y/N, talking about his abduction and disappearance.

Allen rubbed his eyes while looking at the board and sunk down in his chair. Joe then walked into the room. Barry saw him and gave him a gentle nod.

Joe: Barry, there's something I want to talk to you about.

Barry: What?

Joe: Suppose Clyde Mardon is still alive. Let's just entertain your theory for a second. Where would he go?

Barry turned and looked at his foster father, surprised. He jumped out of his seat, ready to explain his thought process.

Barry: He'd most likely go to his last hideout. I may have some more notes and potential locations.

Allen rushed over to an evidence locker in his room. He looked on the shelf for his boxes on the Mardon brothers. He was shocked. They were both missing.

Barry: What?

Y/N, Cisco, and Caitlin were standing around a table in the warehouse lab. Y/N had pulled out a set of boxes he'd retrieved from Barry's lab. They showed evidence and information on Clyde Mardon as well as other potential criminals.

Y/N: I've been going over unsolved cases from the past nine months, and there's been a sharp increase in unexplained deaths and missing people. Your meta-humans have been busy. 

Cisco: Dude, how did you get this?

Y/N: I sorta... stole them from CCPD.

Caitlin looked at Y/N with wide eyes and a stern look of disapproval.

Cisco: I'm sure they'll be upset once they know it's missing.

Y/N: They... don't. I've been reading all these files for the past hour.

Caitlin: You read all these reports in one hour?

Y/N: We can add speed reading to my list of abilities.

Caitlin shook her head while Cisco grinned and patted Y/N on the shoulder.

Cisco: So, what've we got, Reading Rainbow?

Y/N: The Mardon brothers used an old farmhouse across the bay as their hideout. It was where they were last seen when their plane crashed. It's possible Clyde may still be there, but I have no way of knowing if he's there now or if he moved locations. Barry only gave a general list of farms and not any specific one.

Cailtin pulled up a tablet and pressed a few buttons.

Caitlin: I've retasked S.T.A.R. Labs' satellite to track meteorological abnormalities over Central City. We just got a ping. Atmospheric pressure dropped 20 millibars in a matter of seconds. I've tracked it to a farm just west of the city. 

Y/N looked at her with a grin.

Y/N: Wow. Smart thinking, Dr. Snow.

She looked back at him, trying to hide her own smile.

Caitlin: Thank you, Mr. L/N.

Cisco walked over to Y/N, holding what looked like snack bars in his hand.

Cisco: I've whipped these up for you. They're a set of protein bars adjusted for your metabolic structure. They're highly caloric and should provide you with enough energy so that you don't pass out while running.
