Chapter 1

Star labs 3rd person

Barry, take a right down Donnelly Ave, then a left down Jakes St. "Thanks Cisco," Barry took the directions he was told, when he arrived he came to a halt only to say," uh Cisco?" "huh? Yea what?" "there's no fire" Barry replied with clear confusion in his voice. "what, what do you mean there's no fire?" "listen closely Cisco, I mean there is no fire! No smoke no UH!?!?" Barry's vitals spiked for a split second, Caitlin jumped in at that point, "Barry?" she asked with concern in her voice. Then they heard a voice, "We're going to play a little game" it belonged to General Eiling himself. Barry groaned in pain, and then his coms were cut off. Cisco and Caitlin were in a panic as what to do, They called in Oliver from Team Arrow. Then they called Joe and Iris West who still did not know about Barry being the Flash.

6 hours later.

*Time skip brought to you by Barry dancing with his microscope*

Oliver arrived a few hours late as he was far away, soon followed by Joe and Iris,"What was so important that I had to come here?" asked Oliver. Cisco pulled Joe aside and told him what happened to Barry, Joe yelled quite a lot, obviously. Iris was about to go up and see what was happening then Joe walked up to her, "Iris, honey, there's something that Barry and I have been keeping from you" "what is it?" Iris asked with a slight pang of confusion on her face. "It's something to do with Barry," said Joe. "Spit it out dad," said Iris getting annoyed by the second. There was a slight pause of silence, then the truth was spilled, "Barry is the Flash". "Your joking" laughed Iris, "Barry the Flash?" "As in running at lightning speeds and saving people Flash?" "Well, it's really more like speeds faster than that," piped in Cisco. "Not now" hissed Caitlin, "Look, Iris, be mad later, but right now our job is to help save Barry and get him home safely. Cisco pulled Oliver over and told him that Iris needed to know his identity," She needs to know that why?" Oliver said getting quite annoyed with Cisco. "Fine, but I'm only doing this for Barry" Oliver walked over to Iris and said "I am trusting you with my identity, you can not tell anyone do you hear me" it sounded more like a demand than a question, but nevertheless, she nodded her head in acknowledgment and said yes, being quite intimidated by the Arrow. Oliver removed his mask, Iris stood there in shock, "Y-y-y-your the Arrow" "Oliver Queen?" She stuttered, "yes and tell no one" Barked Oliver, "right now that's done," said Cisco with a clap of his hands "let's move on to what happened to Barry" He goes on to say what's happened with Barry then the lights go out. Everyone is in fighting positions when the lights come back on, even Oliver has his mask back on and chis bow out. The computer screens flicker for a moment and then turn back on showing General Eiling and Barry on a cold metal table sopping wet and trying to escape from his bonds, but with no use. he had a gash along his face which was slowly bleeding and a cut across his eyebrow. Iris gasped in shock. Oliver with his quick thinking asked Cisco to pull up Barry's vitals as he was still wearing his suit. If not before, now Iris believed Barry was the Flash. General Eiling spoke up. All heads snapped to the main computer. " It's time for that game I was telling you about Mr. Allen." More panic was set in the lab than ever before. They needed to find barry soon, and fast. Iris was at a loss of what to think. Why would someone do this to her best friend? Why did Barry keep this a secret from her? Joe stood there looking at the screen close to tears and praying that his boy would live he didn't know what would happen if he didn't make it. Oliver and the rest of the team were doing their best to try and track where Barry was, But there was nothing coming from his suit, just his vitals. Barry's tracker must have been ripped out. Dammit........ This was going to be harder than they thought. "Hang on Barry," said Caitlin, we're going to find you.
