The Truth
Hey everyone long time no see, we'll it's been a couple weeks since grandpa Henry left and things have been relatively quiet recently…well except for atom smasher showing meaning zoom is finally here, but there is something that I didn't tell the team and it's about my past with zoom, but I know I have to…I just need to clear my head and what better way than through music, I just hope nobody is here at Star labs to here me sing I personally think I suck but Nora and mom always thought I had a beautiful voice.
{Star Labs Lounge}
After finally finding my guitar in Cisco's workshop I decided to just play whatever my heart wanted to let out.
I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life is kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
'Til all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink, so
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
I'm sick of all the insencere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My god, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems we could solve
And when the situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
But I don't really like my flow, no
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if the critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Ooh
Got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
Ima tell you everything
After finishing the song I knew I was ready to tell my family about zoom and my past, but then all of a sudden I heard clapping behind me…a lot of clapping which made me freeze on the spot and turn my head slowly only to see all of team flash standing shocked at my singing especially Barry and iris.
"What!" I yell towards them.
"Woow…just wow Bart…your voice is just..wow!" Iris said to me still shocked.
"Bart where did you learn to sing like that!" Barry asked me.
"No one taught I could always sing it's was just something that I did when I needed to clear my head!" I say as I shrug my shoulders which shocks everyone even more.
'It's now or never!' I think as I get ready to tell everyone about my past.
"Ummm.can everyone come sit down there is something I need to tell all of you about my past!"I say as everyone comes in and sit down around me.
"Bart what about your past?" Cisco asks questionably.
"Well…when we took down atom smasher that last thing he said was that Zoom sent him, a part of my past has to do with zoom!" I say I shudder and everyone is shocked about this revelation.
" what do you have to do with this Zoom!" Barry asks irritable.
"Well when I was teen back in the future and before my powers manifested zoom kidnapped me and tortured me for days before you finally found me!" I say as I start tear up at the memory of that time in my past.
"Bart..I'm so…I'm so sorry!" Joe says as he wraps in a tight hug.
Me deciding to prove what I just said to them decided to take off my shirt and show them all my scars from that time, which only causes all of them to gasp in horror at all the scars and how big they were.
" Bart…I'm…I…" Barry try's to say something but can only start to tear up along side everyone else in the room.
"I guess speed healing doesn't heal everything huh!" I say as I just look down at the ground not being able to look them in the eyes anymore.
"Bart how did….how did you survive this?" Iris asks as she continues to tear up.
"I had to because if I didn't then he would have took someone else close to us so I took it all; the swords,whips,bullets I took it all but something happened after all was said and done." I say as everyone looks at me beckoning me to continue.
"Something inside me broke that day and it took a long time to get past it…I couldn't get zoom out of my head I saw him everywhere I couldn't even be around dad for a long time because of the trauma and the fact that every time dad whooshed off I would think it was zoom coming for me!" I say as I put my shirt back on.
"That's the truth and thank you for being my family all of you and dad thank you most of all!" I say sincerely towards him.
"What are you thanking me for?" Barry asks questionably.
"You gave me something I thought I lost…hope, you gave me my hope back dad…all of you did, I was really broken dad and all I saw was darkness but you brought me back to the light..you taught me to always have hope and that's real heroes always stand strong even when all seems lost." I say ask Barry walks up and hugs me tight while tearing up a little bit on my shoulder.
"I'm always here for you Bart no matter what time we are in!" Barry says as he continues hugging me.
After the conversation we all got to work and they all seemed more determined than ever to catch zoom especially Caitlin.
When I see Caitlin I can't help but smile and walk up to her and wraps my arms around her and lays my hands on her stomach and my head on her shoulder while she giggles lightly before leaning into me in comfort.
"Cait?" I say.
"Hmmm?" Caitlin says comfortably.
"Will you go out with me?" I say confidently.
Instead of an answer she just turns around and kisses me hungrily and after awhile we separate due to a lack of oxygen.
"I'll take that as a yes!" I say grinning wildly.
"Hehe…you better mister it took you long enough!" Caitlin says as she lays her head against my chest listening to my heartbeat while humming softly.
I can't help but smile at this and just casually run my fingers through her soft brunette hair.
"Caitlin thank you for being here!" I say as I hug her tight.
"I'll always be here Bart okay?…always!" Caitlin says as she lays her hand against my cheek and Looks me in the eye before we kiss romantically.
I LOVE MY LIFE
