badassprodigyWhile most of the island was still dealing with the lack of clothes and a heatwave, there was one warehouse that was dealing with some interdimensional weirdness of its own.
One moment everything was fine and in the next there was a rip in time and space. Gusts of wind blew debris and sand around the warehouse as a human sized figure fell through to the ground.
"All right! Send my shit through!" he shouted through the portal.
Various metallic crates began to shoot through the portal causing Barry to dodge and swear.
"Jesus fucking Christ! Be careful with those!"
Eventually all the crates came through and the portal sealed up behind Barry as he took a look at his old warehouse.
It was there, still standing. Barry stood outside and felt the sentimentality wash over him. It was here that he had his first date. Where he had made the dreadful mistake of trying to create a gremlin vaccine. Where he nearly lost his mind watching the evils of science and how it nearly destroyed the humanity of Eleanor’s universe. It was where one of his favorite teaches had adopted him as a… little brother? (That thought was immediately pushed away as he soon remembered how he and his girlfriend used to have sex on nearly every piece of furniture in the place)
Barry had made friends before Fandom. He’d also known love. But it was here in this warehouse that he realized just how important those things were. How they were more important than even (gasp) science.
The lock on it was new but not a challenge for Barry. It fell to the ground and with a slight hesitation he pushed open the door…
To find out that Kathy had redecorated.
“JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS IKEA BULLSHIT?! WHO GETS RID OF STAIRS AND REPLACES IT WITH A FUCKING ROPE! GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!”
Barry paused. Took a deep breath and let it go. Easy Barry. It’s been ten years. Lots of changes. It’s okay. Changes are good. And at least some of the same stuff was there where he left it.
Dragging in his equipment he immediately kicked on the power generator and stepped over to his communication array and started the process of downloading five years of information to review.
And that's when he caught one email in particular. A notification he never got while dimension-hopping.
"Oh. Oh, no."
There's only a few things that can shake Barry to the core. Losing a friend and not being to do anything about it? That was the first one on the list.
He sat there for a long time just sitting there stunned.
"Fuck."
He was going to be that way for a while.
