S. H. I. E. L. D. pt 2

What Happens at the CCPD

... CONTINUED

FLASHBACK

The red alarms blared loudly.

"There's been a breach!" Someone shouted. They're cries were cut off by a gunshot.

Ava jumped up and ran through the hallways of the SHIELD base, gun in hand. Bodies were littered everywhere.

She followed the sounds of fighting, and paled when she saw the four Hydra super soldiers Barry hadn't killed fighting with the agents. More like slaughtering the agents.

One of them was already wounded though, and he was growing tired. Ava aimed and fired three quick shots. He died.

She then remembered her partner, who was currently lying comatose and vulnerable. Ava's eyes widened and she ran towards the hospital wing.

She was too late.

Jordan had a bullet in his brain, the machines he was hooked up to letting out one long beep.

The soldiers were not in there though. Ava crept through the halls until she heard movement from inside the file room.

"Here!" a soldier shouted. "It says he works as a forensic assistant at the CCPD."

Ava breathed in sharply. They were after Barry.

"Let's go."

Ava stayed hidden until they were gone, and then raced to her car. Injured leg be damned, she needed to warn Barry.

END FLASHBACK

Singh POV

Something was up with Barry. I was about to ask him about it when someone interrupted me.

"Barry!"

Barry turned around and I saw a girl walking up to him. She had a limp.

Barry ran over to her. "Ava, what the hell are you doing here? You're not fully healed yet."

Healed from what? Who is this Ava? I inched closer so I could better hear their conversation. Hey, I was curious.

The girl, Ava shook her head. "I had to warn you," she gasped, "they're coming. They stormed our facility looking for you."

Hold up a hot second! Who stormed what facility to get to Barry?

"Is everyone okay?" Barry asked.

Ava swallowed hard. Barry's shoulders slumped.

"They killed Jordan."

Oh no... who's Jordan?

Barry wrapped Ava in a hug.

"I'll get them for this," Barry whispered.

I was so confused. Gentle Barry get who? Who was this 'them' they keep mentioning?

"I know," Ava sighed, "and you'll have your chance real soon. They're on their way here. They found our files and I heard them say they were gonna kill you."

My brain short circuited. Who the hell wanted to kill Barry?! Why?! I won't let them!

"Not before I kill them," Barry grumbled.

No. NOW my brain just stopped working. Barry Allen. The sunshine boy. He wanted to kill someone?

"Let me help you Barry," Ava pleaded, "there's three of them and one of you."

What the hell?!

"Three?" he asked. As if he was expecting more.

"We managed to take one out before they got to Jordan."

What?!

Barry nodded.

"Let me help Barry. So what my leg is a little hurt. I can still fire a gun."

Barry relented, "Follow me." He led Ava up the stairs to the balcony.

WTF was going on!?

***** LINE BREAK *****

Barry came back downstairs.

"Who was that?" I asked, catching Barry at the bottom of the staircase.

"My friend." Barry said shortly, looking around.

"And where is this friend from?" I asked. Hey, just taking precautions.

Barry stared hard at me. His stare sent a small shiver down my back. I had never seen Barry look like that before.

Barry ignored my question.

The elevator doors dinged open.

And gunfire started.

Barry threw himself and me to the ground.

"Stay down!" Barry said.

Like hell! Barry was a forensic assistant. What was he gonna do?

"Hey!" Barry yelled. Standing up and walking away from me. "I'm over here jack asses!"

My eyes widened. He was gonna get himself killed!

The three people put their guns away, and approached Barry. Two shots rang out from the balcony and one of the men sank to the ground, dead.

The other two charged at Barry.

I was just about to hop up and step in, because there was no way that Barry Allen of all people would survive getting beat up by these very big, angry men. However, when the first guy threw a punch that should've bashed Barry's brains in, he ducked and the man missed.

I froze as Barry was caught in a battle with the two men. And he was... not dying.

Barry fought with speed and skill that none of the trained officers at the CCPD had. Where on earth did he learn to fight like that?

What the hell?  I thought.

Barry managed to knock one down, at least temporarily, and was fiercely engaged in hand to hand combat with the other soldier.

I inhaled sharply as Barry was thrown against the wall. There was a loud crack and Barry let out a pained yell.

"Hey!" I heard Ava shout from up high.

More shots sounded and the soldier winced as bullets struck his arm. But he was hardly even phased.

What the hell?!

I watched Barry pick himself up of the ground, cradling his clearly broken arm.

The other soldier had gotten back up now, and charged at Barry, who fought back. Even with a broken arm he could fight better than any of my officers. Why the hell wasn't he a detective or something? And who the hell did he work for on the side?

Barry was thrown to the ground, close to where I was.

"Captain, your gun!" Barry said, holding out his hand.

Without thinking, I tossed him my gun. Barry shot the man charging at him in the head. That just left the one. I could tell Barry was getting exhausted, and I mean I was shocked enough that he wasn't already dead. In fact, he was winning this fight.

I spoke to soon.

Barry was hurled against the wall. Then the man started to choke him. I heard a faint curse from where Ava was and cursed also. She must be out of bullets.

I crawled over to one of my fallen officers and grabbed his gun.

I aimed.

I fired.

The soldier growled and turned towards me, dropping Barry. How is he not dead?

Before the soldier could crush me like a bean though, Barry jumped on his back. And sliced his throat.

That killed him.

Barry breathed heavily and collapsed to the ground.

"Barry!" Ava yelled, coming down as fast as she could. She looked him over. "You'll be okay Bar. You can sleep for now. You did it. They're gone. I'll be right here when you wake up. Go to sleep."

Barry's eyes slid shut.

Ava squeezed his hand.

I looked at her with wide eyes.

"What the hell just happened? Is Barry okay? Who the hell were those guys? Why did they want to kill Barry? Wh-"

Ava held up a hand, silencing me.

"I'll answer your questions. Just not here." She stood up and gestured to Barry. "For now, I need your help getting him somewhere he can heal."

"A hospital?"

"Sort of..."
