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

2.6 Frozen Heart

Cisco: They've got her!

Cisco ran into the cortex room. Y/N and Wells were working at the computer station when he came rushing in carrying a woman's purse.

Y/N: What?

Cisco: Caitlin, they took her!

He held up her purse which he had found outside.

Y/N: What?!

Cisco: I found this outside. Her car door was frozen shut.

Y/N immediately ran out of the facility. He did laps around the compound, looking everywhere. He even ran off and checked Caitlin's apartment. He then ran back into the lab.

Y/N: They're not here anymore! I can't find her!

Wells frantically typed in a set of keys, pulling up the security feed from an hour prior. The three stopped and watched it. They could clearly see Snart walk up behind Caitlin and freeze her car door shut. Y/N's hand clenched into a fist when he saw him grab her and take her away.

Y/N: We need to find her!

Wells: We will, Y/N.

Y/N: I'm gonna call Joe. We need every cop in the city looking for her and Snart!

Wells: Y/N, calm down.

Y/N: Calm down?! How can you tell me to do that?! Caitlin's just been abducted by that murderer! I'm not going to lose her to someone like that!

Wells: We will save Caitlin if you just stay calm and think logically!

Y/N rolled his eyes while Wells tried to talk to him.

Wells: Look at this. They were right outside the lab. They could have come inside, but they didn't. Why? If they want the Flash, why not come in and take him if they know where he is?

Cisco caught on to what Wells was saying.

Cisco: They're setting a trap.

Y/N looked at them, realizing they were right but still feeling like he needed to go out there anyway. He was about to turn and run when the monitors flickered. The image became clear to show Snart grinning at the camera. Behind him, Caitlin was being restrained by a group of armed guards.

Snart: Greetings, citizens of Central City.

All across the city, the same image was being transmitted to every TV station in every home. At the police precinct, Joe and Barry watched in shock at seeing their friend restrained.

Snart: I'm gonna make this very clear for everyone. These last few months, you've all been misguided by a so-called hero. You know him as the Flash. Well, I'm here to tell you, he's no hero. If he were, this young lady would not be in my custody tonight. So, Flash, I know you're listening. Find me. I'm sure you'll be able to with those quick little legs of yours. Prove me wrong. Prove you are a hero. This young lady's life is in your hands. 

Caitlin: No, don't come for me! Stay away!

The feed cut out again. Before anyone could react, another image popped up on screen. Y/N scowled upon seeing the face of General Eiling displayed prominently on it.

Eiling: Citizens of Central City, I have intercepted this lunatic's transmission. I am here to tell you that I, General Eiling, will save this city. You may think you are fine, that you have the Flash, but you are wrong. He's no better than any other meta-human who has wrought destruction onto your peaceful lives. He will fail. And if he does, he will unleash a new terror upon the city. Central City is infested with the stench of meta-human criminals. They all need to be eradicated. Mark my words. The Flash is no better. He's no hero.
