I've just finished watching the Flash and Season 3... OKAY. 

=-=-=-=

The last thing that Barry seemed to remember was the fact that he had just finished with a building fire and was about to go back to Star Labs to pack up for the day when something-hard-smacked him in the face, effectively making him drop to the ground. Cisco's muffled and alerted voice echoed as he lost consciousness. 

=-=

When he woke, he saw a person dressed as a doctor. They held a scalpel in their hand, with blue gloves and everything. Barry immediately started to freak, and noticed that he was strapped to a iron table. He tried to get out of the restraints, but found that he was unable. He tried to phase but to no avail. He noticed he was pretty much naked other then the shorts attached to his waist. 

The man started to cut at Barry's stomach, watching how the cuts healed. Somehow Barry could tell that the man was smirking under his mask. 

Oh god, Barry thought. This is going to be painful.

TWO WEEKS LATER 

"I told you, Joe, I can't!" Cisco yelled right back at the angry man. Iris looked between them, her brows furrowed with worry. Caitlin was quiet, typing on the computer silently. Julian was next to her, pretending not to hear the commotion going on behind them. 

"You can't, or you won't?" Joe asked, venom laced in his voice. 

"Wally's on Earth 3, there's no way to accurately get to Earth 2!" Cisco hissed back. Joe shook his head and paced around. They were trying to find a way to get Harry back so they could have his insight on the matter. However, there was no way to travel to Earth 2 safely without Wally. 

"Can't you vibe?" Joe questioned. Cisco opened his mouth and then closed it. 

"Yes, yes I can do that." Cisco walked off to go get what he needed. Joe turned to Caitlin, 

"While we're gone, could you get a hold of Felicity and see if she has any ideas?" Caitlin nodded and turned back to her computer. Joe nodded to her and walked out, following Cisco. 

Caitlin started to call Felicity, and she picked up on the second ring. 

"Caitlin! What can I-er-Team Arrow do for you?" Felicity sounded eager for another Team Flash Team Arrow team-up. 

"Actually, I don't think that you have to come down here for this one. You see, Barry's gone missing. We don't know what's happening to him or if anything's happening to him. If you could help out that'd be the best."

"I'll see what I can do." 

"Thanks."

THREE WEEKS LATER

"No, we can't track him! He went off the grid it seems," Harry gritted out. Joe sighed. 

"Here, how about we-," 

"Everyone shut up!" Caitlin screamed. When everyone silenced, the faint ring of Caitlin's phone was the only thing breaking the silence. 

"Felicity! Yes? Did you find anything?" Caitlin sounded extremely hopeful. 

"Yes, I've found his location. It took a while, I had to go through all the video footage on the streets, but I've found him!" Felicity rattled off his location as Caitlin scribbled it down. 

"Oliver and Diggle and I will be there shortly. We're going to get him back." 

=-= 

Stay calm... Stay calm... 

Barry heard the doctors above him talk about what to do to him next. 

They're not coming. 

They couldn't do much that would affect him now. 

No. They are. 

They've made him bleed more than he has ever on a mission. More then Zoom ever did.

It's been weeks. I doubt it. 

They've broken his bones. Worse then his spine.

Stop. 

They've even performed surgeries on him. 

The only thing left for you is pain, Barry. The only thing that will keep coming back. 

While he was awake and aware. 

Oh god. 

He remembers what they did. 

God.

How they tore him up, put him back together just to tear him apart again. 

The needles how they poked and prodded... not a single part of his flesh was untouched... The hands. They never stopped. Barry can't remember the last time he had a decent amount of sleep.

Barry faintly heard the white door smash open, and flinched at the loud sound. Suddenly the hands were gone. 

Then the restraints were gone. 

He heard a faint, 

"Oh god."

Then Barry was unconscious again. 

=-=-=

When Barry woke up, he was in a familiar room. He sighed in relief. He knew where he was. He was in Star Labs. 

Or was he? 

Suddenly Barry was back on edge. He sat up but started to wince in pain. 

What's new? 

"He's awake!" He heard a shout. Cisco...?

Suddenly he was bombarded with familiar faces full with smiles. 

He saw Joe, Iris, Caitlin, Cisco, Oliver, Felicity, Harry, and Julian. Caitlin immediately closed in on him, and..those...hands....

"G-Get away from m-me!" Barry yelled, shielding his face. 

"Barry, mate, it's alright," Julian calmed him down a bit. "You're safe. Nobody's going to hurt you." 

Barry took deep breaths and calmed himself down. Caitlin backed up, taking the hint. 

"Try to get more sleep, alright, Barry?" Barry nodded and put his head back down. Caitlin, from where she stood looked at the IV and made sure it was in place. Soon enough Barry fell asleep. 

Everyone gathered, and Caitlin said, 

"His body is the aftermath of torture. And it's likely the he won't allow any one to touch him. So don't try."

-=-=- 

Leonard was back in Central City. But not to the news that he wanted to hear. He was going to return in a few weeks, but news is the Flash hasn't been seen in a while. This sparked worry in his chest, and he returned early to see his Speedster. And to make sure that he was okay. 

And there was only one place where his Scarlet could be. 

=-=

"Where is he?" Leonard didn't waste any time. Everyone was startled, yet no one dared to move. Joe had his gun pointed at him.

"Don't move." 

Leonard smirked.

"I wouldn't dare," he drawled, "I just want to know where good ol' Barry is." 

Cisco stepped up, "Why would you care?" Leonard pointed the gun at Cisco. 

"Now I wouldn't be asking too many questions, now. Not unless you never want to talk again." 

"Now hold up-"

That's when everybody started to yell at each other. 

Barry woke up slowly to the loud yelling. He stretched his arms as he looked drowsily over to the desk. 

Who he saw immediately woke him up. 

"L-Len?" his voice cracked as he called out. Everyone stopped as they looked at Barry.

Len dropped his gun and walked forward. He didn't stop until he reached Barry's side. 

"Barry," he breathed, "oh god, what did they do to you?" He cupped Barry's face in compassion. 

Barry smiled as he put his hand over Len's. Len leaned down and hugged Barry and Barry nuzzled his face in the crook of Len's neck. 

Everyone stood astonished. Barry, who allowed no one to touch him, was down-right hugging someone right in front of them. A thief, nonetheless. Cisco spoke everyone's thoughts. 

"Wait, what?" 

XOXO
