Struck Twice ♡ Barry Allen/The Flash

Zappy

As I finished up the last of my work, I received a call from Cisco telling me they found something interesting and Barry was about to do something stupid. So I rushed to S.T.A.R. labs.

I forgot how running in my normal clothes sets them on fire. Which made me rush even faster into my suit. Caitlin shook my head at me and Cisco laughed. Dr. Wells remained calm, knowing I'd be fine.

"Where do I go?" I asked Dr. Wells.

"The Petersburg Grid is experiencing a power drain right now." He explained. I nodded my head and heard a "Be careful." from Dr. Wells.

I found Barry, or rather the The Flash, studying what was happening before his eyes. A man was draining the power with his hands. I was stunned at first, but I quickly got myself together. I ran to the side of Barry, startling him a bit. So I was the first to speak.

"I'm pretty sure this is a restricted area." I said aloud. This caught his attention, the metahuman faced me. His face was almost glowing. His eyes were a silver-like color. And he definitely did not look happy.

He shot his hand out toward me, and part of what he drained nearly hit me. But Barry was quick to push me out the way.

"Easy there Zappy." He said.

"I have to feed." The metahuman said, zombie-like. My eyes widened, and so did Barry's. This guy was some sort of freak, for sure. Maybe the Particle Accelerator did this to him.

Once again, he shot lightning out of his hands. Me and Barry set out in opposite directions. We continued do this for a while. The metahuman went back and forth. First he'd try and hit me, then Barry. You could see he was getting more and more annoyed and angry.

Finally, he'd managed to hit the both of, using both of his hands. The pain was horrible, I felt as if I was getting shot, multiple times. Not only that, I felt like my energy and power was being drained from me. Barry managed to rip away from this, and he helped me rip away too. But, only to get hit again. This time, it was ten times worse.

My legs gave out, my fists cleanched, and I shouted in pain. I heard someone speak over the coms, but I couldn't nake out what they were saying.

After a while, the metahuman stopped what he was doing and left.

"Get out of there." Dr. Wells spoke. I tried running, as well as Barry, but nothing happened. My legs gave out again. And I ended up crawling on the ground.

"I can't." I said.

"Me neither." I heard Barry say.

In the corner of my eye, I saw him slowing trying to make his way towards me.

"My speed is-"

"-gone." Barry finished.

"How the hell are we gonna get to S.T.A.R. labs? It's like a 30 minute walk." I asked Barry as I leaned on him. My head on his shoulder and my hand intertwined with his.

"Uh...Uber?" He suggested. I looked into his eyes to check for any sign of him joking around. But I didn't find anything.

"Are you serious?" I ask.

"Well, yeah because what else are we gonna do. On our way to S.T.A.R. labs, someone would probably spot us." He stated. I realized he was right and he called an Uber driver.

When the Uber arrived, we both jumped in and avoided eye contact with the bewildered lady. She tried to make small talk, but we dodged that too.

Meanwhile, me and and Barry whispered to each other in the back.
