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

1.10 Sting of the Flame

The next day, the group were all gathered in the lab. Each was doing their own thing. Cisco and Dr. Wells were working with a few tools. Caitlin continued to stare at the computer monitor, seeing the image of Ronnie. Y/N was lost in thought at a small table in the corner of the room.

Suddenly, the four were alerted to a breaking news event. They looked up to see what was going on. Firestorm had reappeared. He was standing in a small, suburban neighborhood. This time, he wasn't alone.

Reporter: Breaking info. The fire man has been spotted once again on the outskirts of Central City. Thankfully, the army has been brought in to deal with the situation in a controlled manner.

On the screen, the team could see Ronnie surrounded by military-grade vehicles and soldiers, all of whom held their guns pointed at him. From out of one of the vehicles stepped a tall, stern man. He had white hair and a wrinkled face that held confidence and control.

Eiling: Ronnie Raymond, under the direct order of the United States armed forces, you are hereby under arrest for acts of grand arson and liability. I order you to stand down. Do not resist.

Ronnie: Please... I didn't mean to...

Y/N continued to look at the screen in concern. Ronnie and Professor Stein were both facing containment. The young man looked back to see Caitlin. Her eyes were frozen on the screen. Y/N could see the despair on her face. 

Y/N knew he had to do something. Without a second to lose, he grabbed his suit and ran out of the warehouse. He was so fast that the three scientists didn't even have time to register his actions until he was already gone.

Firestorm looked around at all the soldiers aiming at him. He wasn't entirely sure what to do. General Eiling had a grin on his face as he spoke to the meta-human.

Eiling: Let's get this done quickly.

Ronnie looked back at Eiling. He was about to ignite his hands when something happened. A red streak flew in and grabbed Ronnie. As quickly as it appeared, it ran off with the fire man. Eiling stared at the quick escape, grinning to himself.

Y/N rushed back into the warehouse and placed down Ronnie. The fire man looked at the fast man and jumped back in confusion. Y/N put up his hands and took off his goggles and helmet.

Y/N: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy, man! It's alright. You're safe. I brought you here.

Ronnie held up his hand but brought it back down when he realized Y/N meant no harm. He looked around at the old, abandoned warehouse he was now in. Cobwebs and dust lined steel girders near the roof. Old equipment had been cleared off and recently polished.

Ronnie: Where is here?

Ronnie then turned around to see three familiar faces staring at him. One in particular caught his eye.

Ronnie: Cait?

Caitlin stood there, frozen in disbelief. Tears then started to stream down her face. She rushed over to her fiancé, crying tears of joy.

Caitlin: Ronnie!

Caitlin jumped into Ronnie's arms, holding him tight and crying into his shoulder. Ronnie held onto her, swaying back and forth in joy.

Caitlin: I thought you were dead.

Ronnie: I'm alright. I'm here now.

Caitlin eventually let go, wiping away a tear and smiling wildly. She and Ronnie then shared a loving kiss, their lips meeting in graceful harmony. Y/N stood there, smiling at seeing the two lovers reunited.
