Alan was about to enter the room where Barry and his brother were situated recalling their past. He was thrilled to inform Barry about his New advancements but to his surprise as he was about to enter he saw the door was already opened which confused him as to who could possibly enter.
He placed his foot inside to see a fast food delivery guy standing beside Barry as he placed a card on the scanner and heard a beep sound while receiving a successful transaction. the guy gave him some bags before leaving quietly.
Barry looked at Alan with a scared look but Alan couldn't figure out why, but to his knowledge, he was about to know why.
*Ding* *Ding*
A notification came on Alan's mobile as he proceeded to check the reason.
"Thank you for ordering Jules BBQ, your total was 170 credits please order again!"
Alan looked at Barry with a menacing look as if he knew what he had done.
"YOU TOOK MY CREDIT CARD?", screamed Alan.
"well yeah I was out so I had to give something to our guest", giggled Barry.
Alan decided not to make a fuss out of it and decided to join them in their feast. During their feasting, they came over the fact of why were those people after Alan anyway, like do they have a grudge against him or what. Nevertheless, Barry was to stay with Alan at all times now because he himself wasn't ready to fight against them. They ate their meal and were about to head out as Gabriel had healed up quite a bit and his stay at the hospital was no longer needed.
"MR BARRY THE LABORATORY HAS BEEN ATTACKED PLEASE REACH THEIR IMMEDIATELY", exclaimed a girl who had just barged in.
Barry without wasting a minute nodded at both of his brothers to give them the indication to get ready for anything. They immediately grabbed their weapons and proceeded to head out to the scene.

Both the brothers used their travel ability which granted them a decent amount of boost in their speed to reach the scene but this wasn't the case with Alan as he had something else up his sleeve.
[Rush has been activated]
A rich oxygenated blood stream flowed into and out of Alan's leg filling it with a sufficient amount of Energy to blast off. He placed his right foot on the ground with force and kept it there to create pressure, after some while he placed it off the ground and released all of his force in that leap.
He flew past Barry and Gabriel who looked at him with questions in their mind while also following him to the scene. The laboratory was the place where the research of new systems, abilities, power-ups, etc was done, it was known as the birthplace of power and any new power was stored within the laboratory. It was a good reason to attack the place and get a hold of a new power or a creation but in the wrong hands, it could prove worse.
Alan reached the scene but he was too late the laboratory was set on fire and a bunch of Ambulances were stationed outside the scene, A bunch of water users along with Shelby were also present trying to extinguish the fire. Barry and Gabriel also arrived and immediately began their search for the people who caused this but they found no luck.
At that moment the same girl who had alerted them came to the scene and started to search for something, but after some while was unable to find that thing, then for a while she went inside a building only to return later crying towards Barry.
"Mr. Barry they took my brother, those Cruel bastards they TOOK HIM!", cried the girl.
"Who took who I don't understand?", questioned Alan.
The girl then took out her mini Laptop and inserted a USB to show the footage of the action taking place in the laboratory.
All three observed the video closely and were able to deduce a lot of things. Firstly the people to cause this were wearing the exact same bandanas as the people who were trying to kidnap Alan secondly the one that those people had taken with them was also a familiar one.
His name was Ray Miller and he was one of the best pals of Barry when they were little. They both belonged to the same clan and both were raised together under the influence of the master, but Ray being the intelligent one had no interest in sorcery but had peek interest in learning about these powers and their origins so he chose the path to become a scientist and research about the current powers while finding more about the new one's. Barry couldn't let one of his best buds get kidnapped like that and was incensed at this scene. He at once ordered Alan and Gabriel to get ready as he wasn't going to let this slide now.
They both agreed with Barry and were ready to support them. Barry requested a crow from the facility to track those people down and his request was accepted and a crow was sent to search for any trails.
[Task]
[Hunt down the people who caused this and investigate the cause]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Penalty: Unknown]
"Well, that leaves me no choice I have to do this not only to accompany Barry but to benefit myself as well," thought Alan.
The crow returned with some info as the camera on his neck was inspected to find out that the troublemakers were heading to a state outside the light residency and near the Shadow's perimeter.
Alan gulped at this info followed by some shivering as he was reminded of the torment caused by the Shadows, But he was consoled by the warm tap on the shoulder by Barry which made him realize that he was safe as Barry would protect him.
They all got ready and stood in front of the destroyed gate through which those men entered. They were ready with their own motive and couldn't resist the urge to kill them or perhaps take revenge.
