The Consequence Of Selfishness

Send Shivers Down Your Spine

Barry groaned and ran his hands down his face in frustration. Cisco and Caitlin edged away from his slightly as fear gripped their chests. They hadn't seen him this annoyed in a while. They were looking around a map of central city for places that Sebastian could have escaped to, but it seemed like he had simply dropped off the face of the earth. After quite a few weeks of searching they had come up with nothing. There was no evidence to where Sebastian had gone, they even searched his apartment, but they had returned with a steaming pile of nada.

"He has to be somewhere," Barry snapped in announcing. He wanted so badly to drag his brother into prison himself. His own younger sibling had tried to injure Barry's wife, he had killed his own parents and he had lied and deceived him. It hurt a lot, but it made him a whole lot angrier. Sure they had never been close, but they were supposed to be best friends. They were supposed to rely on each other, not stab one another in the back.

"We've checked everywhere Barry," Caitlin replied softly, "maybe it's time to consider waiting until he resurfaces," she was very worried about Barry. He was obsessing over Sebastian, it felt like it was all that he had focused on for quite a few weeks in a row.

"No, he has to be somewhere," Barry snapped, he refused to give up. He couldn't let him go.

"Barry, I agree with Caitlin, I th-" Cisco was cut off when Joe ran into the room. He was out of breath and exasperated. His cheeks were puffed out and red, but he was still full of urgency.

"Barry, there's a monster causing havoc across Central City, I just got radioed about it in the east end, I don't think the police can handle it," before Joe had even finished the sentence Barry was gone in a gust of wind, Cisco sighed and immediately began setting up the comm link.

Barry skidded to a haunt and took in the terrifying sight before him. People were running and screaming for their lives as the night sky above them was dark blue an purple. He felt his breath hitch in his chest. Cars were frozen in traffic and civilians were leaving their vehicles and escaping the area. Barry stared into the centre of the cross road. A large and massive furry beast roared in the moonlight. It had a massive and fluffy tail. It's teeth and claws were ground to a deadly points and its menacing eyes glowed yellow. The beast stood on two legs like a man, but he was covered in muscle and as well as having the appearance of a rabid wolf. Ripped and tattered trousers squeezed the beasts hips and the first part of its thigh. It's roar echoed through Barry's head, forcing him to place his hands over his ears. He took a few steps back in shock, "oh my gosh, what the heck is that?" Cisco squeaked. Joe and Caitlin had turned on the news and all three could see the massive beast that towered over everyone else.

"Do you like him Flash?" A man with scraggly hair and a long and thing scar down his left eye stood beside the monster. He wore a cryptic and evil grin. He was wearing incredibly formal and proper attire. The Flash blinked in surprise, the beast wasn't harming him, it was just destroying everything else in its path.

"What the hell is that?" He shouted to the man. He ducked as a car flew over his head.

"Are you stupid my friend, have you never heard of a werewolf before?" He had a thick and foreign accent. His eyes shined with silver malice and destruction.

"That is a werewolf?" Barry was shocked, he had thought they only existed in myth. They shouldn't be possible.

"What else?" The man grinned showing off a set of pointed teeth. "Now beast, be careful, I will come and visit you if you need, till then, enjoy yourself," He put his fingers to his lips and motioned for the beast to attack Barry before simply disappearing before the Flashes eyes in a swirl of dark smoke.

The monster charged at Barry full pelt, flipping cars and other things that got in the way. Barry felt a lump form in his throat, panic took over him as he dodged on if the beasts hairy, man like paws. It was covered in a sleek coat of black coloured fur. Long strings of slobber dangled from the beasts powerful jaws. Its eyes were violent and animalistic, it was clear the creature wanted blood. Barry ran a good while up the street and stared in awe as the wolf creature leapt over several cars at a time and landed in front of him. The beast was massive, it towered above Barry as a nasty snarl ripped from its throat.

"Uh, guys, I need a bit of help here," Barry spoke down the com link as he dodged the massive paws of the creature. He ran and skidded across the floor, drifting under the monsters legs.

"Barry, if it's a werewolf, that means it will have the sensitive hearing of a wolf and the same weak points as a man," Caitlin's soft voice told him down the comm, she had given Barry a brilliant idea.

"Caitlin, you're a genius?" Barry cheered happily whilst ducking so that he could keep his head.

"Yup, now do your job Mr Flash," Caitlin scolded him.

Barry sucked in a deep breath, he knew that the one thing dogs hated was cats, and dog whistles. He didn't have any cats handy, he decided to make a werewolf sized dog whistle. Barry ran from the wolf and in a moment he was back facing the confused beast. He had a massive megaphone and a particularly loud megaphone. The creature charged at him, but Barry put the whistle to his lips and the megaphone to the whistle and blew. He used his super speed to make the noise into a massive and high pitched blast. The beast tried in vein to cover its ears with its massive hands, but it was too late. It fell to the ground slowly, collapsing with a thump. Barry felt relief rush through him. They had conquered another new creature.
