"brin" "brin" the bell rung as the cell doors opened for Barry as he walked out of the place he had called home for a year and a half to say he was gonna miss it would be a lie as he looked up to the sky getting the fresh smell of air that he hasn't received for long feeling the incredible warmth of the evening sun shining on his body "am free am finally free" Barry thought in happiness and excitement as he spotted a familiar dark face person besides a black SUV holding with a brown pack of what he could guess is big belly burger looking his way he waved at Barry with Barry rapidly approaching him "hey man you look worse for wears and seems you might have gotten some muscles over there" diggle joked " taking in barry's appearance he wore a white T-shirt that had a few stains here with his arms stretching the shirt and his chest puffing out a bit with brown knee cut trousers and pair of sandal with full on beards and long hair( his future flash hair and speedforce beards)" and you look like your stressed out than usual diggle "barry replied " well with all the shit that's been going why wouldn't I be stressed and i got you this, thought you,ll be hungry after being cooped of there without tasting actual good food" said diggle as they got into the car with diggle starting the car as they hit the road as he passed the food pack to barry and he opens it and begins to savagely devour the burger and milkshake eating half way he decided to ask him a question that was really bothering him "why did Devoes wife confess to me being innocent" diggle sighed before getting ready for his long as reply "well before I explain you have to not cut me off cause this is long so just listen barry "as Barry nodded" it happened a week ago I received a phone call from the deputy of freeland bill Henderson and he told me that there was news l in the black market on a meta human sale that was going on in Freeland about an anonymous buyer coming to buy meta humans or rather meta human abilities from central city and knew this had to be devoe so I contacted felicity and told her what was going and she said that we would need a heavy hitter power so she called supergirl and the Martian, While I had a meet-up freelands resident hero black lightning as the deputy also told him and I had explained the situation to him and also told him how it be dangerous if someone like Tobias was to come in contact with devoe so he agreed to formed alliance with us. The meet-up was going down on Thursday night by 11:34 so we set up our plan of attack so once devoe showed up he immediately attacking us and he almost got us till Oliver shot him with an experimental meta damping serum which could incapacitate for few minutes before he could flush it out of his system he was given a super smack down by supergirl which knocked him out and we had detained him in a meta human cell at Argus and left Oliver to be a little persuasive with him but he refused to cooperate so we found his wife and then the Martian manhunter had wiped devoes mind and his wife's of your identity after she confessed on Tv. We also found out his plan to turn himself into a god and try to control the world using 4 satellite and begin a process called the enlightenment which would wipe out all free will to think on our own so supergirl and the Martian had destroyed the satellites" diggle finished Barry then looked to be on deep thoughts as he carefully listened to all he had said and was trying to understand it " well dig I do have some questions 1 how's Oliver 2 why did devoe chose free land and 3 who contacted the deputy and 4 how is Kara here" he said
"well Olivers doing fine he and Felicity are expecting soon there he needed the meta human drug to help boost his mental abilities and was in search of some meta-human who he could for his own personal gain or just take their powers and as for who contacted the deputy you'll have to thank your boss Captain Singh he said that he believed that you were innocent and helped clear your name and as for Kara well you have to ask her that yourself" he replied solemnly "I see" Barry Said in surprise as he didn't expect captain to help him and for Kara to be on his earth "he's gone, he's actually gone Barry thought with both relief and anger the man who caused him all this pain is gone Though he had a nagging feeling at d back of his head that this wasn't over and that we was gonna see him again Barry chuckled darkly thinking of how he torture devoe in the most worse way possible let it be said Barry time with Oliver and in prison had taught barry many ways to get a man to scream like a little girl..... He's thoughts where interrupted by diggles cough as dig was slightly freaked out by the dark chuckle that came from barry's mouth as he had no doubt that Barry was thinking of how to make devoe suffer in the worse way possible and it kinda freaked him out as it was Oliver that was prone to dark thoughts though he reason that if it were him in barry's shoes he would be thinking of the same thing... "So Um very what are you going now Barry" dig said "hmmm not really sure" Barry replied there wasn't much of a life he could return to as his family and team flash had abandoned him and left him to rot he also couldn't return to his job at CCPD as it felt wrong for Barry to do so an ex-convict working for the law nah barry wasn't going to do it besides he was a broken Man who needed to be mended which means that he needs to leave central city and find a place which he could fix himself and feel whole again but where he thought of..... " well dig I can't stay in central city anymore as I feel like I don't belong here so I need to leave to find myself "Barry stated " seems like I can't convince you Barry to stay barry besides we both know you need a change Of pace" Dig said as they pulled up to a bank "why are we here" Barry inquired " well since Oliver decided to work Operate within law Felicity could have easily gotten your stuffs back but she's got her hands full with Williams and Mia and also making sure Oliver doesn't do anything stupid" Dig said The security guard in front gave him a look as he walked past but didn't stop him as he made his way to one of the counters.
"Please I need access to my account as it's been frozen for some time" Barry said to the first person he saw. The woman was writing something down and put one finger up. "Ok how can I help...you" she said taking in the sight in front of her. Barry's clothes were clean despite the stains on the shirt but his unshaven face and hair did look as if he had just stepped in from off the street.
"ID?" She asked, and Barry pulled out his driver's license from his wallet and handed it to her.
"I haven't...had the time...to shave" Barry said awkwardly, beginning to pace back and forth, hands in his pockets. "You want to take out money from your account?" The woman asked turning to her computer screen.
"Yeah. Not much. Just a...just a couple hundred dollars" he said trying to appear unassuming but it wasn't working. "My name's Barry-" "Barry Allen" she said with a tone of astonishment "Yh am him" he replied with a raised eyebrow "you know him diggle interjected "Yh his been all over central city news this morning" as some of people who are close to her noticed him too from the news and began murmuring
"so that's him"
"Heard his dad also went to prison after being framed by Harrison wells for his moms murder and then after freeing his dad he got killed in fight between the flash and zoom"
"Poor guy"
"He's family gotta have some sort of bad luck"
"urgh" Barry groaned in annoyance as they said this he didn't need to be reminded about the past right now" well if it's any consolation I am sorry" she said solemnly as she looked back at her computer and started to unfreeze his account as some minutes and she was done as Barry and dig she handed him his ID card and new debit card and a paper for him to sign for approval "Here you go...sir" she said. "Sign here" and Barry took the pen, scribbled his signature and took the card, wanting to get out as quickly as he could to escape their stares
"Thanks" he said and made a run for it, by walking fast "that was exhausting" dig commented as they reached outside"I know right but they they seriously have to stare that much" Barry sighed as they got into the car " where we off to now Barry said " we are going to see Oliver he really wanted to see you before we leave back to star city but he had to be somewhere" dig replied "where did he go to" said Barry " both he and Kara went to drop off devoe at in belle Reve." said dig " hmm Kara's here that was unexpected"barry said "well she said that she can't let one of best friends continue to stay in prison so she decided to help us" replied dig "Hmm" Barry hummed as he thought of his blonde haired geeky best-friend who's totally hot but feels like she's outta his league but non the he was so excited to meet her after so long
Few minutes later
"this is so cool" Barry said as he stepped unto the pavement in-front of an apartment as it looked brightly colored and totally high class "hey Barry" a voice called out Barry turned to see Oliver leaning at the door still looking the same as ever just but his face looked different as he held unto some bags "Oliver" Barry exclaimed as they hugged each other "you grew your hair out and wow what's this a goatee man you weird" Barry said "well it ain't my fault felicity said I should try getting a new look and this looks very sexy as it brings out my inner Robin Hood " Oliver said as he gave the bags to diggle to help put in the trunk as they began walked and entered the elevator to the 23 floor "Oliver with a sense of humor that's fascinating "said Barry "hey I got a good sense of humor" Oliver countered "sure you do" "what happened I thought you would be escorting devoe to belle Reve and where's Kara" Barry inquired " we did take him to Belle Reve as it turns out is located in the middterian sea and the security in that place is off the charts if I was there I don't think I would be able to escape so no need to worry about devoe besides I had J'onn wipe his mind of your identity and as for Kara well
you see barry her earth was destroyed by an anti matter bomb that lex luthor had made to use to kill her and Superman but it destoyed her earth instead, so in a last ditch effort she and john where sent to this earth by her sister" the elevator came to stop as they stepped outside and began walking down the hall Barry frowned as he thought of kara and the martain and how sad they must be for losing thier loved ones "no need to look down Barry she's doing fine since she has john with her and if you ever want to see her just go here" oliver said as he tossed a card and pair of keys to him "kent farm Smallville Kansas
"thanks i will see her when im done"
he said as the elevator came to stop they stepped outside and began walking down the hall Barry frowned as he thought of the possibility of not seeing her soon "no need to look down Barry she's always around" oliver said as he tossed a pair of keys to him "what are these for" Barry questioned with a raised eyebrow " well that's the key to your new apartment it's room 13b and before you can think of paying for anything we cover it besides I owe this building" " you shouldn't have Oliver I could have handled it " Barry said " no way Barry where friends besides I didn't want to start living like a hobo on the street though with your look you'll blend in properly" Oliver joked "as they stopped in front of Barry's apartment go on open it Oliver said as Barry opened the door only to be blown away as he look inside (picture Barry's apartment form season 4 but way bigger cooler and with some tech around and some bags on the couch which he could think of are clothes and shoes) "and we left you a some stuffs inside" Oliver said in a chuckle as he saw Barry's gobsmacked expression "not that am not thankful but how did you get all this stuffs plus the cash to go with it" Barry said in awe as he looked around the place "I knew you would like it as felicity helped set up most of this thing and this was totally meant to be a surprise for you but I rebuilt Queen consolidated though under a new name Queen Industries an environmental friendly new company" Oliver said that's cool Oliver it seems your life's on track unlike mine Barry said in a dejected tone...... "hey Barry don't get so down it's true that yeah life did go on without Barry but your here now and that's what's what matter as matter of fact why don't you take a soul search barry and find yourself cause I know with all these going on you feel conflicted and sad so just go and find yourself" Oliver said compassionately " Barry smiled weakly " I gotta go Barry my city needs me seeya Barry and oh BTW I had called up captain Singh for you if you need your old job back or would like to relocate or something he said you should meet him tomorrow" Oliver said as the hugged "thanks for everything oliver "said Barry "no problem Barry just take care of yourself barry " "I will Oliver thanks" Barry said as he watched Oliver disappear down the hall to the elevator as Oliver waved at him as it closed Barry sighed as he stepped into his loft closing the door Barry looking around at his loft as things where everywhere time to clean up deciding against using his speed for now he casually just arranged all his stuffs in their right area "hm still got some time left" Barry said as he looked at his Star Wars clock 18:36 " he looked at the refrigerator to see it fully stocked with food with a note attached to the frig door "gotta keep you speedster metabolism high and nourished" he read chuckling as it had a smiley he could easily guess it was felicity writing removing some spaghetti and meatballs he warmed it as he quickly devoured the food and washed it. He then made his way to his room admiring the style and queen size bed quickly changing to his boxer he fell on his bed " tomorrows going to be a pain in ass "he thought with all the stress and exhaustion fading away as sleep quickly came upon him.
