Chapter 12 - WITH GREAT POWER ⚡COMES A HUGE PRICE

30 Minutes Later

"Where am I? "

" What happened to me. My whole body aches"

"Am I dead? "

He opens his eyes and quickly squints because of the power of the light shinning on his face.

"You're finally awake, "Caitlin said.

"What happened? " Barry asked.

"It seems you put a strain on your muscles and your brain during your attempt to save the plane from crashing" She said and moved closer to the bed.

(She really does look good in her lab uniform, those curves and that... Cut the crap Barry. You're not even fully recovered and you're already having shrewd thoughts )

"It seems the more you use your powers the more drain of your energy. You don't have enough stamina" She said.

"You have to increase your intake of glucose by a huge margin " She added.

"Or else the hyperactivity of your muscles will cause a huge drain of the cellulose content of your blood",Caitlin said calmly.

"I see" Barry said.

Barry tries to get up but is surprised to find out that he couldn't.

"You might have to rest for a while. I've injected glucose into your blood. You will okay in some hours. But thanks to your recuperative powers, you'll be up in no time at all.",Caitlin smiled.

"Alright"

AT A CAFÉ IN CENTRAL CITY...

On The TV

TV reporter:- Hundreds of citizens were saved from a possible fatal plane crash by the hero know as "the red blur." It seems things will finally start getting better here in Central City now that....

"Hmm, red blur? Interesting...." Iris mumbled.

"I don't really have a story for my blog. This will make for a good story "

Barry tried moving his body and found out that the pain he felt has somehow reduced.

He gets up from the bed and walks toward the door...

"You feeling okay? "

Barry turns around and finds Caitlin staring at him.

"I'm A-Okay now, trust me. You know how fast I recover.", Barry replied.

"Well, Okay then. Just don't stress yourself too much."

"Alright, bye"

A gust of wind send paper flying in all directions as Barry superspeeds out of the building.

"I don't have time to waste. I have to become stronger "

"My speed is still not enough "

He arrives at his house and lies down on his bed.

"But I really don't know how to increase my abilities "

"The only way to give my powers a boost ia through the speed force "

"But I'm still too weak to activate it or it might do more harm than good"

"I guess basic training will have to do for now"

"Wait a sec"

"I do have some ways to increase my abilities. Barry's memory does really come in handy.", he smirks faintly.

He picks up his phone and dials a number. The phone rings for a while, then....

"Hey Cisco"

"Barry, what's up and by the way brilliant plan to prevent a crash earlier"

"Thanks, but...huh... are you.....like free. I need to have a talk with you "

"Is anything the problem"

"No nothing much. Just need help with electronics and stuff"

"Alright then. You can come by this afternoon"

"Ok. Thanks a lot, bye"

He hangs up the phone and before he could set it down. It rings... He checks the caller ID....

"Iris?"

He picks up the call...

"Hi Iris How're you doing,"He said

"Doing great Barry. I'm at your office or rather, 'your lab',but I can't find you, Where are you? "Iris asked.

"I'm home. I'll be there soon "

"Alright "
