He had to control himself as he ran so he didn’t outrun her, and it was very soon before they came across a huge science lab that looked like his back home, in fact it was all too similar, and something felt off and wrong too.
They ran inside the labs and went to the control room where they all met.
Soon enough everyone was there to greet him, but it was introduction time.
“Well hello there, Barry,” the first person said, “I am Lightning Dust.”
“Wait, how do you know my name exactly?” Barry asked her.
“I have a communications line on me, I should have told you, but we didn’t know if we could trust you yet, but now we can,” The Dash said to him.
“So wait, you were all listening to our conversation we had up there?”
“Yes,” Lightning said, “And we’re sorry for invading your privacy, we should have told you, but now that doesn’t matter, what matters is getting you home.
But I also think that you can now be trusted with The Dash’s true identity.”
And with that said The Dash took off her mask to reveal that it was none other than Rainbow Dash who was the so called hero of this town and city.
“Wait, you’re the Dash?” Barry asked with shock and surprise (but to be honest he should have seen it coming, along with everyone else that was around him).
“Yeah, I know, totally cool and awesome, right?” Rainbow said with a grin, “The only downside to this whole hero thing is that I can’t tell any of my friends the truth because I have to protect them from danger and peril, I wish I could though, and I’m sorry that I couldn’t tell you before, but as I said, we didn’t know if we could trust you, but now we do, so that’s over and done with now.”
“Well I can forgive you for lying,” he said, “But not for hiding the truth, friends don’t lie to each other, especially not in matters of science, okay?”
“Okay,” Rainbow Dash said, “I get it, there’s no need to be upset.”
“Yes, there is, there is every reason in the world to be upset with you.”
“Enough fighting you two, what has been done cannot be changed now, and as I said before, all that matters is getting Barry here home before he changes this world, the longer that he stays here the more he alters the timeline.”
“What do you mean by that exactly?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Think about it this way, this world’s timeline is a straight line or ingredients of a cake or pie, but the more that you change or replace the ingredients, or the more lines that you add, you don’t get cake or pie or just a straight line.
You’ll eventually end up with something that’s completely new and different, perhaps maybe a picture of something or someone, but Barry here, he’s altering the natural timeline by changing the events of it and we have no idea what the possible consequences of him being here could result in so I would highly suggest and recommend that we get him back home as soon as we can very quickly before something bad happens to us, do you understand me Miss Dash and Mr. Allen?, or do I have to make myself more clear in another way?”
“I understand and agree,” both of them said very quickly to appease the angry Lightning Dust, “Good then,” she said, “Now let’s get to work then, shall we?”
And with that said the group went to work trying to figure a way to get him back home, and then he was introduced to Soarin and Spitfire and saw the similarity between them and Cisco and Caitlin back home, and that made him ponder this single question, I wonder what they’re doing right now, he thought.
