"Now barry what did you want to talk about" Jay inquired as he sat in a café with barry "jay you probably noticed that I haven't come to see u in 2 years that's because I was wrongfully incarcerated in iron heights and was just exonerated" barry said "no wonder you looked tired but what about your friend couldn't they have found evidence fasten your bail" he replied "that's the problem Jay they didn't they left me in jail" barry said "hm that's not right aren't they your friends?" he said as barry sighed and began to recap on all shit that had gone on in his life "you know have seen some shitty things in my life and betrayal is just the worse so I understand what you're going through but don't let it keep you down, just move on and keep on living" Jay said "move on jay move on how do I do that everyone says I should move but I just can't first my mom gets murdered by thawne then my dad by zoom and now my friends abandoned me why me why do I have to suffer for all this" barry sobbed as he held his head in his hands with tears rolling down his face to the table as his thoughts took him to those nights when his parents were killed, the day his team left him and all the torture and torment he went through in iron heights as he barely noticed his body vibrating with lighting crackling around him jay frowned as he looked at him not seeing a hero but a broken man and he understood his pain and how much he suffered as he placed his hand on his shoulder "am sorry barry I really am nobody should have gone through what you went through but shit happens barry and you just have to accept it, yes your parents are dead yes your friends betrayed you but you need to move pass that and look forward and begin to appreciate every second as a gift now that life has given you a chance to be better just look forward and go Barry never looking back" Jay concluded as barry kept on crying but began to calm down as he pondered on Jay's words "would I ever be able to move, can I, I don't know, I have to, I need to no more brooding on the past it's time to move on as the image of Cisco, Caitlin, Joe, wally and iris popped into his mind but began to fade as he thought of them. Cisco his best friend who he love to hang out with binging sci-fi movies with and talking about nerdy stuffs with, Caitlin who he loved so much as she was his physician and always there to take care of his health issues, Joe he was his surrogate father who he loved and cared for deeply, wally he was like a brother to him and his partner and rival, iris oh how much he loved her she was his lighting rod and he was the lightning Barry and iris against the world. But that didn't matter now they were his past and he wasn't looking back at them "thank you Jay you're really a good friend" Barry said solemnly "no problem Barry am here for you whenever you need help" Jay replied as Barry was cleaning up his tears as a thought occurred to Jay "oh yeah Barry I forgot I need to meet someone" "who is it" Barry asked "now that's a secret" he replied as the left the café walking into an alley "follow me Jay says as speeds off in a burst of lightning with Barry following him and as the stop in front of familiar looking house "um Jay what are we doing here" Barry questioned looking at his childhood home "well you see Barry after the last time we meet I was thinking that if I was your dad's double ganger then that would have made you my son and vice versa on this earth" "yeah that would be true but only if you married my mom" Barry stated and the stopped in front of the door "yeah about that, just promise me you won't freak out or something" as they entered the house with Barry looking at jay suspiciously "honey am home" Jay called out " what do you me...Barry trailed of as froze insight of the woman who just entered the living room she had a luscious red hair with some grey hair on them her face slightly aged and a body most women would kill to have but that wasn't the reason he froze , it was because the woman was his mom or rather his mom's double ganger " hey honey your back why did you speed off like that" she said pecking her husband's lips as she noticed Barry who stood there in shock looking into his eyes she noticed a look of shock, regret and love in his eyes "um honey who's this" she inquired "this is Barry he's the reason I ran off like that I had sensed his speed force aura as he came here and he's also the person i told you about that I met on earth one who's is our son on that earth but had lost us" jay explained as she walked up to Barry taking in his appearance as she thought of the man her on son would have been if she had one as tears glistened in hers and Barry's eyes as they hugged each other as they enjoyed the warmth of each other as thoughts ran through both joan and Barry's head of the son she never and the mother he never thought he'll see again as Jay looked at them with sad smile "sorry about that it's just that it's been so long since have seen her face" Barry said as he released himself from the hug sad "I understand I too had lost my baby boy too" joan said "am sorry" Barry said "seems like on no matter what earth am on my family has to always lose something" Barry thought sadly "it's not your fault besides we've already gotten over its been a long time since then" jay chimed in noticing the sad look in Barry's eyes do you mind staying for lunch" joan asked "um sure I would love to" Barry replied making his way to the dining table while joan brought their food "I wasn't really expecting this though I could've guessed that her existing here was also a possibility" Barry said in awe "yeah I know too when your ex-team had told me about your dad and mom I had asked for a photo of them so look at my surprise when I found out both her and joan were the same I also wanted to tell you but decided not to but then leave it as a surprise for when next you came to here" jay said "thanks jay this really means a lot to me" Barry said with smile as joan had set the food on the table "one fresh pot of spaghetti and meatballs served" joan announced "you really out did yourself joan" jay said "oh shut up jay you always say that to all my dishes" joan replied with a faint blush on her cheeks" it's really true this taste delicious" Barry praised her "aww thanks sweetie" joan said as then continued to eat as they discussed about each other's lives he had asked jay how he had gotten his powers and learned that he was taking a smoke break in his lab when working on dark matter particles in water to make in cleaner but had forgot and left the containment seal open and inhaled the heavy water vapor which were composed of electrified dark matter particles and fainted and when he woke up he had super speed. He had also spoke of how they met in Midwest university and started dating, but after some time they stopped and went to different cities jay went to new york and joan went to Washington and work for some chemical corporation but later came back to keystone where she saw jay and they both decided to continue their relationship before getting married and moving to over to central city. Jay had also told him about Joan's inability to give birth and how it affected them both he still loved her none the less and when he figured out Barry's was his doppleganger son he was full of shock and excitement that he had a son though not really his but he's counterpart but a son none the he was happy and had to tell Joan when he came back and that what had lead them here to having dinner with together to get to know about each other "my my it seems we've taken some time huh" Joan as she looks at the clock 4:13 yeah we have Barry says as he gets u to do help her clear the dishes don't worry about it Barry I got she says clearing the dishes as she walks to the kitchen "you ok Barry" "yeah am fine thanks for all of this" he says looking at the direction in which joan went "no problem Barry" um Jay hve been meaning to ask but how do you always know when I come to earth 3 Barry inquired the speed force Barry its allows me to have what you would call cosmic no speed force awareness I can sense anyone who is connected to the speed force that's how I brought you to earth 3 before when I sensed you going back through time" jay explained "hm so that was what I felt" Barry said thinking back to august "what did you feel" "I went to work earlier today and met up with a guy called August heart who works as a forensic analysis in CCPD I felt an abundant amount of speed force energy within but felt a little bit different like it doesn't belong there" "this is quite troublesome I just hope he isn't like another zoom" Jay said wearily "But his not my problem am no longer the flash and am not entitled to protect central city Barry said jay sighed I know Barry but just promise me that if he does something dangerous that you stop him cause if you don't a lot of innocents will die" " I don't know jay but I,ll try if he does try" Barry promised you boys ok joan says as she comes into the room while cleaning her hands yeah were fine joan jay says as they stand up making to door "nice meeting you Barry you're always welcome here anytime" joan says "thank you joan" Barry says as he hugs her "don't be a stranger" jays says shaking Barry "see you later" Barry says and in a gush of wind he's gone
Central city earth 1
Coming out of the speed force Barry made his to apartment when he heard an explosion from somewhere making his way there he stayed in shadows and observed what was going on it was a group of unidentified millitary men with high tech weapons in all black with what looked to be a blackhole symbol on their arms. They where engaged in combat with kid flash, vibe and killer frost and it looked like there where badly losing vibe left arm was burnt with what looked to be second degree burns and was limping on one foot and his other was broken, killer frost was looking pale or rather paler than normal as she had a large cut on her stomach and was trying to stop the bleeding and we'll for wally his was the worse of all his suit had multiple cuts on it, a broken leg, a large cut on his head and a swollen eye. "this doesn't look good but then again what's my business with them" Barry thought as he turned around to go when he felt familiar speedforce signature coming to the area it happened all so fast well to anyone that wasn't Barry he saw a man who he knew was August wearing a red armor of some sort and some goggles with a green lens with lightning streaking behind him as he knocked out all the guys and took one one with him "who was that" killer frost asked "I don't know I didn't see anybody except for the white lightning" wally replied as Cisco had a thought full look on his "anyhow it doesn't matter he made our job easier for us Cisco open a breach" wally commanded as Cisco glared at him but begrudgingly opened the breach as the passed through with Caitlin sending Cisco a concerned look and wally a glare as the passed through with the cops coming in to handle them "heh trouble in paradise Barry said as he tracked August speedforce signature to out of town and followed him he came to a stop as he watched August talk to the man as he held him by the throat "where is your boss" August demanded "screw you asshole I anit telling you shit" he spat "well then maybe this may change your mind" August said as he summoned the speedforce electricity to his hand and electrocuted him "arghhhhhh" he screamed for about a minute "now are you going tell me who your boss is" "Fuck you" he said August growled as he threw him on the ground marched his leg snapping his bones "arghhhhh please stop" "where is your boss" August demanded "I don't know I swear he only gave us order through our supervisor we've never seen him I swear please stop" the man begged "well then send him this message tell him that when I find him and I will am going to make him pay for killing my brother" August said as he performed a certain technique that he had ever seen one man use he vibrated his hand as shoved it within his stomach area as the man cried out in pain and removed what looked like an organ and through it on the ground and grabbed and man and left
"my God this is bad" Barry said out loud and he went over to the area August once was he saw that he had removed his liver "seems like I'll have to tell some to keep an eye on him but who none of them would want to listen to me" Barry said as a thought crossed his mind of who he could ask as he sped over to star labs while making sure that he didn't trigger an alarm that's if they had ever decided to get a security system as he stopped in front of a wall he stopped in the hall as a wall opened as he entered the time vault walking over to the plinth and activated it as Gideon face appeared "hello Gideon" Barry said with a smile "welcome back Barry Allen" I need your help with something Gideon" what is Barry Allen" are you connected to internet" "yes" "I need you to help me watch over a certain individual August heart who is my replacement in CCPD" Barry said "Hmm that not possible" Gideon says as her face scrunches up in confusion "you aren't supposed to meet August heart this soon" wait what" "according to my files you meeting August heart wouldn't be up until 3 June 2022'' hm what do you think happened to that could have made such a change to the time line'' "Mr Allen have you time travelled recently or know anyone that had time travelled" "not really I have incarcerated for two years" "that impossible Mr Allen'' Gideon said as her full AI form materialized "you are to be incarcerated to iron heights prison on the 23 April 2023 for killing Eobard thawne" "what???" Barry cried in shock as Gideon observed barry and after some seconds of silence she asked "Mr Allen was there any change to the timeline recently "yes there was in 2015 I had ran back in time to save my mom due to zoom killing my dad and created flashpoint but I corrected it by letting thawne kill her" he gritted out says. Gideon looked completely shocked at what she was hearing "You are to create flashpoint on May 30th 2022 what's going on Barry says "Mr Allen I need you to tell me everything that has been going on since professor thawne had been defeated" Barry sighs as he explained all that has been going on "I see... Mr allen it seems from what I have been able to deduce you and Eobard thwane broke the timestream" "what do you mean" "when Eobard thwane had gone back in time to stop you he had changed the timeline by killing for mother one year before her actual death" "what" "there was an original timeline where your mom died due to a robbery on your birthday and your dad was sentenced to prison but you had freed him and he had been alive ever since and due to professor thwane meddling with the timestream you created flashpoint before time it's original time you created a time boom causing a shift within reality" She explained Barry was flabbergasted he didn't know that flashpoint had caused such a large shift within the timeline "is there any way to fix this" "no Barry Allen this effect are permanent and if you try to change it who know what would happen" "so that means that all your knowledge from the future has changed" "yes Mr Allen though some things remained constant some might have be changed'' "what are the things that may have changed and remained the same" Barry inquired as she pulled up the future newspaper of him vanishing "so me vanishing is still going to happen but what is the crisis that occurs" you are to save the multi-verse from total destruction the sacrificing your own life but it doesn't seem to exist no more something's different except your death" "what of the byline in the original timeline" "you do marry iris west but now things have changed" "thank God for that" he said um...so that means that you're a timeline anomaly" "no Mr Allen" "hmm how's that possible'' when you created me you had recreated the oculus a machine the time masters used and you has fused it with the speed force as it wasn't perfect so no matter what changes occur to the timeline I would always know since the speed force is connected to time and space so my oculus is safe within the speed force'' "that's good cause for a second I thought I would have to go to and get the oculus itself and that would be hard since the legends destroyed it'' as Gideon blinked in shock "that was unexpected'' "yeah but no need to sweat the small stuff cause for moment I thought I need their help" Barry replied as look of sadness and anger on his face "What's the problem mr allen" "it's not that it's team flash" Barry says as he explained what's going on with team flash ''you don't need them Mr Allen in the my original timeline my Barry Allen had worked on his own and had learnt to grow and become Independent which is why before the time of his disappearance, he had become faster than this current you as his top speed had been Mach 871,457 and beyond if he really pushed himself further" Gideon said, Barry was lost "what how it's impossible to reach such levels of speed" impossible is what the flash does isn't Barry Allen" she said with smirk on her face Barry sighs" but I don't even know my own speed level anymore Gideon" "don't worry about that Barry Allen" she says as she scans his body your top speed is "Mach 10,909 but don't worry in time you'll get faster Barry Allen and I'll be there to make you just like how the original you was" she says Barry suddenly hears a scream from the cortex ''Gideon what going" he says as she pulls up a video of the med bay as they try to set Wally's leg back so it could heal "heh looks like his in some real pain" Barry chuckles with smirk on his lips as he enjoys Wally's pains as he looks on in intrigued as they seemed to be having an argument and decided it was time to confront them "I told you not to run in reckless wally iris chides him "they could have killed you" Joe says "but they didn't they were after the flash and the got him wally says "you're not Barry, Barry wouldn't have run in halfcocked" Cisco says "Barry isn't the flash I am" really now cause could have sworn your name is kid flash not the flash" "I am him I'm half the man he wished he could never be besides am not a criminal" Barry isn't a criminal he was framed" Caitlin says as she patches up Cisco shoulder "really now cause I don't remember you saying anything the day he was imprisoned want to know why cause Barry deserved for all he had done to us" wally said "Wally's right Barry had caused us too much pain besides Oliver and Kara could have made all those shit up just to free him" iris interjected ''you're right we did abandoned him and we've seen the flaw in it he was innocent" Cisco as Caitlin chimed in "and you guys don't just want to believe because your jealous self-righteous asshole who believe the world revolves around you and can't let go of the past" "guys enough of this argument" Joe says as he tried to play peacemaker guilt or not "Barry's free now we need to come up with way to find and talk to him captain Singh had prevented from finding barry but now we have to deal with the consequences" Joe said "damn right you do" a familiar voice called out as they turned to see Barry standing at the med bay entrance with an unreadable expression "hello team flash"
