Barry phased out of the wall on the side and walked down the hallway silently to look for some clues.
Barry surveyed the whole building and would just phase into another wall if he saw a patrol coming his way before coming back out again.
He did this multiple times and successfully came to the meeting room of high level members.
"Has he been led away?" Shazam asked while looking at the rest.
"I did it personally". Cyborg answered with his arms folded in front of his chest.
"That's good, we need to make them pay". Another member stood up and said passionately.
They cannot just come to our home and ravage it like they please. We have to retaliate against them". Another one said with his fists clenched and a fire burning in his heart.
Barry listened to this quietly and shook his head in dismay.
'This reality is too far gone. I have to do something but I can't run fast enough'. Barry lamented to himself and thought about the solution again and again.
"What are you doing here?" Someone spotted him from behind and yelled.
Due to Barry's distracted thought and self pity. He didn't notice the approach of the other persona and got found out.
He didn't wait to explain and ran away from the facility in a moment's notice.
'I need to go to Alex'. He thought and ran with all his strength.
In seconds, he was standing in front of the Wayne mansion and ready to find Alex.
"Come in". Alex's voice came into his ears just as he was about to go in.
Alex was about to go to sleep and suddenly found that Barry had come to visit.
So he couldn't really do anything and asked him to come in the mansion to talk.
He saw Barry enter the Lounge and sit down on the couch to wait for him.
Alex gave a sigh and waled over to the lounge unhurriedly.
"What's up?" He sat down on the couch and motioned for him to speak.
"The resistance is going to launch missiles on Themiscyra. They will kill thousands of innocents. I need your help to stop them all". Barry took a deep breath first and laid out the facts.
"I told you to go back in the past and stop your other self to resolve this issue". Alex tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly.
"But there is something blocking me from gaining access to the past. I can't cross the barrier at all". Barry shook his head and said in dismay. He tried multiple time and he just couldn't do it no matter what.
"Haaa, This fucking guy". Alex shook his sighed to himself.
He waved his hand and a guy in a yellow suit appeared next to Barry on the couch.
"Here is your culprit". He said and pointed at Reverse Flash.
Barry looked at Reverse Flash with anger and astonishment.
"Why do you keep doing this?" He questioned to him with anger bubbling in his eyes.
"Because I want to test your limits Barry. You are the best Flash and the host for Speedforce and I want to know where you can go". Reverse Flsh answered with a smile like a Mad scientist.
"Pretty Gay if you ask me". Alex said from the side with a plain face like he was stating a fact.
"Insolent". Reverse Flash yelled back in anger.
"I would keep my mouth shut if I were you". Alex said with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Reverse Flash stagnated for while because he felt a primal fear coming from deep in his bones that made him shudder.
After taking a breath that was hitched in his throat. He turned away his head and didn't look back at Alex.
Alex nodded his head and relaxed back in the sofa with his legs lifted up on the table.
"Go now, he will not hinder you". Alex waved to Barry and motioned for him to go.
He couldn't wait to end this whole mess and finally go back home to relax with the girls.
They had been complaining to him that he didn't go to visit them in a while and he was feeling bored now.
Barry also didn't waste and time and immediately went on the run.
He ran with all his strength and the previous phenomenon of Lightning flashing and him disappearing happened again.
Barry was back again in the past and looked at the house in front of him in a daze.
He didn't want to do it but he couldn't stop now or the things will never change.
He saw his other self try to intercept Reverse Flash but he intercepted in between and quickly took him out of the house.
"What are you doing". Flash asked Barry in anger.
"Trust me man, I have already done it and it will kill millions". Barry said to Flash in a sorrowful voice because he was also regretful that he had to do this.
This is the problem with heroes. They live too much for the others and less for their own or this choice wouldn't be hard.
Flash looked up at the sky and ran off back to the future.
Barry slowly disappeared from the timeline and the other Barry went back to the Future.
Alex was sitting in the lounge and waiting for the thing to happen and saw the world start to crumble around him.
It was like sand being eroded by the ocean. Everything turned to dust and slowly floated away like a mirage.
Alex also sighed in relief and decided to head back home to the Future.
He went back to the time when he just left from this reality.
He looked around for a bit and went back inside the mansion.
"What happened just now Dear?" Hancock asked worriedly while holding Alex's hand.
"I'll tell you later". Alex said and focused his attention back on the show while relaxing on the couch.
Everyone tacitly kept quiet and just enjoyed the show. They could see the tiredness on Alex's face and decided to question him later.
