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

6.11 The Flash Reborn

Y/N: What do you mean we have to recreate the particle accelerator?

Joe: Are you crazy?

Wells: The accelerator is what gave Y/N his connection to the Speed Force in the first place. If we can recreate what happened the night he got his speed we could possibly jumpstart his system and recharge him back to full force.

Cisco: Even if we could do that, the odds are stacked against us. Y/N was hit by a bolt of lightning generated by the particles entering the atmosphere.

Wells: Which is why we'll need that.

Harrison pointed over to the weather wand sitting on the desk beside them.

Wells: That thing already has metahuman physiology and power collected from Livewire surging through it. We can use it to generate a lightning storm and redirect it down to the lab.

Joe: Last time your machine went off it covered the entire city. What makes you think it won't just create more metahumans for Zoom to use?

Wells: It won't.

Barry: How do you know?

Wells: Because this time we're gonna direct the energy directly into Y/N.

Caitlin: That's too much power. When he was hit that night he received a small dosage of what the accelerator produced. Shoving the full force of the accelerator into his body could kill him. 

Wells: It is the only chance we have. 

Joe: Last time this happened, we thought we nearly lost him. Y/N was sent into a coma we didn't even know he'd wake up from. Now you're not only wanting us to do it again but with more power?

Wells: This may be our only shot at doing this.

Joe and Wells continued to argue and bicker. Caitlin and Cisco both turned to Y/N. He had his head down as if he were contemplating the plan. He wasn't really thinking of going through with this, was he? The two of them walked over to him. Caitlin put her hand over his, gaining Y/N's attention.

Caitlin: Y/N...?

Cisco: This is serious, man.

Y/N: I know. It's... it's big, but it may be a plan.

Both of his friends were shocked by what he was indicating.

Caitlin: Y/N, you weren't here last time. Your body was stuck in a constant flux of healing and changing. You went into cardiac arrest three times during then.

Cisco: There were times where we almost lost you. The last time this happened, you were in a coma for months. But if something like this were to-

Y/N: I know. I know.

Caitlin: You told us that you are more than your speed. That alone is not what defines you.

Y/N: I know. But right now, with all this city is going through, it needs the Flash. 

The three friends all looked at one another. They stood together, weighing their options. They lasted like that for hours. Wells and Joe took a break only to go right back to arguing. 

Joe: You're asking us to kill him.

Wells: I'm asking you to take a chance.

Joe: On what?! Y/N can do more good here without his speed than he can in the grave!

Wells: We're all going to be in the grave if we don't do something about this!

To the side, Y/N was looking over the latest news reports. A few trapped news reporters decided the best thing they could do was to broadcast live from the island. Carnage and destruction surrounded them. Every few minutes, they'd read off another list of updated casualties. The young man sighed at the list of names.
