Running Out of Time {Barry Allen/The Flash}

"Katheryn." I hear from behind me, I spin around to meet the edited voice.

"You." I say, shocked at the presence of the Reverse-Flash. "You son of a bitch!" I yell. I slow down time to run at him, but he's still too fast. I stand back, shocked as he ended up behind me. I spin around again.

"It's all too sad." He says, "You never were important."

"And... Where did you hear that from?" I ask. I know about both time lines, and I know about the future.

"I can time travel, Katheryn. And I found out that you aren't important. At all..." He says, before running up behind me.

"I can time travel too, and you know that. So what makes me unimportant?" I ask.

"You have no influence on the world. In the future, they don't even know who you are. You are no hero." The man in the yellow suit says. "You're nothing."

"I am not nothing!" I yell, "How do you think The Flash stays motivated at times like these?!" I snap. Then suddenly I regret what I said.

"The Flash cares about you?" He asks, "Well then, let's just see what happens when I kill you." He announces and that's when my feet start to take off. I run, slowing down time. I look behind me. He can't catch up, but I start to run out of breath. I turn a corner out of the alleyway and onto the street. Car drivers slam on their brakes in slow motion. I dodge out of the way of the oncoming traffic only to be thrown into a biker. I quickly get up, time still slow, before I look behind me. I don't see the Reverse-Flash.

Where is-

I'm disrupted from my thoughts I am grabbed. Time resumes normally as I try to tear his iron grip around my body. "Let. Go!" I yell, slamming my head back into his. Only, he doesn't let go. I am thrown to the ground, in a corner so I can't escape. The yellow man stands in front of me, not looking away.

"You think you're so fast." He says.

"I'm not." I snap, spitting up at him. He just stand there.

"If only he could see you now..." The man says.

"Who?"

"Your father. He would have gotten to see you if it weren't for me." He replies blandly. I abruptly stand.

"What?" I whisper.

"You think how your father died was an accident?" The Reverse-Flash questions.

"He died in a car accident!" I yell, "Accident. He was- he died because of an accident. That truck- he never saw it coming." I cry out.

"No, he didn't. That's exactly why he didn't have time to swerve out of the way... I had it perfectly planned, after the first few tries. The first try, you died as well. The second, neither of you died. But then I got it to a point where just your dad died." He says.

"No, no... No." I say as I grab at my shirt sleeve. "Who are you?!" I yell. He runs up to me, grabbing my neck.

"The man in yellow, the Reverse-Flash." He says.

"I know, but under the mask! Who is the monster under that yellow mask?" I ask with anger laced in my voice. Then he starts grabbing at his mask. I watch as the time feels to go so slow. He finally pulls off his mask.

"Wells?" I ask.

"Eobard Thawne." Is all he says before speaking again. He releases his grip on my neck, before speeding up his hand by my chest, "I'd kill you right now-" He says.

"Then do it! If I'm not important, I've served my time." I say aloud.

"But I can't because I lied. You are very important to the timeline. You are very important to this Earth, and many others. That's why I can't kill you because nothing would be even close to the same... When you died in one of those car crashes with your father, I went back to present time. But when I came back, there was nothing. Nothing left of Central City. Nothing left of this Earth, and nothing left of the next. Nothing." He spits out.

"Then 'Eobard Thawne', Wells, Reverse-Flash...Whoever the hell you are, I don't expect to see you anytime soon again, and if I do... I want it to be when your name's on a stone and you're buried six feet deep."

And with that, I spin on my heel before walking away.
