Running Out of Time {Barry Allen/The Flash}

"Umm, guys..." I say, trying to figure out how I can leave. "I need to go."

"Why?" Cisco asks.

"Duty calls." I cheer before walking out. I run out to my bike.

***

I zoom out through the street. I go to the abandoned warehouse Oliver told me to go too. I pull over my hood, and grab a pair of ski goggles from my bag. I grab out my pistol, and walk to the door. I check to see if it's locked.

It is.

I grab a bobby pin from my hair, and start jamming it into the key hole until it unlocks. I slowly open the door, and creep in. I look around.

Two men, lightly armed. Maybe I could put these metahuman skills to use. I slow time, and run to the first man. I put him in a choke hold, suffocating him.  I watch in slow motion as the other man grabs out a gun, and pulls the trigger. I watch as the bullet comes speeding my way in slow motion. I lift my hand in front of my face, and grab the bullet. I stuff it in my pocket before time resumes normally.

The one man comes running at me. I jump out of the way before grabbing his head, and smashing it into my knee. He drops to the ground unconscious. I step away, and look for Harrison Lee.

"You looking for me?!" I hear. I spin around trying to find the owner of the voice.

"I was actually. It's like you read my mind." I say. Then before I notice, a bullet comes speeding my way. Right before it hits me a man in a red suit stops in front of me. He grabs the bullet and drops it.

"You..." I mumble under my breath. I watch as The Flash runs up to Harrison Lee. I watch as he throws a punch at the man. The man takes a step back more in shock. Then I watch as The Flash knocks the man out. The Flash turns to me. "What are you doing here?" I ask The Flash.

"I could ask the same thing... What are you doing here," He asks. "Time Turner?"

"Working." I simply say. "More like helping. Yeah, I need Harrison Lee with me when I leave."

"Uh, no. I need to take him." The Flash says.

"Here, let me call my... boss, and ask him right now. On speaker." I suggest. I pull out my phone and put it on speaker.

"Finish the job already?" I hear on the other end.

"Almost. See, I have The Flash here, wanting to take Harrison Lee. Did you ask both of us for help?"

"Yeah. He said he couldn't do it, so I asked you. Just work together." He says before hanging up. I sigh.

"So... You can take him I guess. This is awkward." I say, "Thank you for saving my life, but I could have done it myself."

"You were about to die." He says back. "You weren't fast enough." I watch him. I notice those eyes again.

Wait. I slow down time, and listen to his voice.

I know that voice. I know those eyes.

"Barry?" I ask. He just stands there. Then, I stop time, and run.

It all makes sense now. Him having to leave, and other things.

What doesn't make sense is that he's late to everything.

I pick up, then go straight to STAR Labs.

*BARRY ALLEN'S P.O.V.*

I run back to STAR Labs. I run in, with the unconscious Harrison Lee in my arms. I drop him down.

"Who is that?!" Caitlin yells at me.

"Harrison Lee. Not the point." I say, "I met the Time Turner again."

"Who?" Caitlin asks.

"Time Turner. That's what I call the metahuman. Anyways, she knew who I was. She figured it out. Who is this woman?" I ask, and none of them respond. "She's not bad. She's always been the good guy- I mean girl- when I go on my missions. She's also helping the Green Arrow." I trail off. Then, Dr. Wells rolls in.

"We know who it is." Dr. Wells says.

"And nobody cared to tell me? Who is it?"

"It's- well-" Cisco starts, but he is cut off.

"It's me." I hear Katheryn. "I'm the Time Turner."
