Nathaniel, Barry and Iris reach S.T.A.R. Labs and both Barry and Iris got out of the car.
"You guys should ahead I will meet you at the assembly point after I find a place to park the car."
Nathaniel told them before he drove off to find a place to park his newly bought car.
###
While Nathaniel was looking for a place to park the car, Barry and Iris arrived at the assembly area where the crowd was cheering for Harrison Wells who was currently on the podium and was about to give a speech.
"Thank you, everybody. My name is Harrison and tonight the future begins. The work my team and I will do here... will change our understanding of physics... will bring about the advancement in power... advancement in medicine. And trust me, that future will be here faster than you think."
'So this is Harrison Well, Huh! He looks normal but there is something off about him, he seems to be hiding something big and that makes me angry for some reason.'
While Dr Wells was giving his speech, Nathaniel who was a few meters away from Barry and Iris thought to himself as he looks at Harrison Wells on the podium until something else got his attention.
"No! Hey, my laptop. It got my dissertation."
While Nathaniel was looking at Harrison standing on the podium, he heard Iris's voice from the crowd so he looked in that direction and saw that Iris has gotten her laptop snatched by some dude and Barry was running after the guy.
"I should probably go help him."
Nathaniel knowing Barry knew that he wouldn't do a good job with the thief so he decided to follow them. Nathaniel followed Barry and the thief to a dead end, the thief quickly found and place to hide while Barry was looking around for him.
After looking around and didn't find the thief, Barry decided to look at some corner where he was suddenly attacked by the thief with the laptop. Barry fell to the but got up quickly and decided to talk to the guy.
"Alright, kid. You don't have to do this, alright? Just give me back my friend's bag and we will call it even, okay."
Barry tried to negotiate with the thief but instead, he was attacked with the laptop again but this time Barry wasn't the one who was hit instead it was the thief because Nathaniel arrived in time to stop the laptop from hitting Barry and punched the thief unconscious.
"Just like I thought, you are still the same old Barry. What will you do without me?"
Nathaniel tossed the laptop to Barry and then quickly left the place and the moment he left Iris also came out.
"Are you okay, Barry? Oh!"
Iris asked if Barry was okay the moment she got close but when she saw the thief lying on the ground unconscious which made she look at Barry in surprise. Nathaniel who was a couple of meters away smiled when saw this but then he saw another dude coming towards Barry and Iris.
"Freeze, Police! Oh!"

Nathaniel, Iris and Barry separated after they left S.T.A.R. Lab with Barry and Iris going back to the police department while Nathaniel went home to do some more investigation about Harrison Wells because of the weird feeling he had when he was looking at him.
["I'm Linda Park and we are outside S.T.A.R. Labs, despite the weather which will only get worse. The torrential downpour has in no way affected the particle accelerator, which is running smoothly according to the owner of S.T.A.R. Lab, Harrison Well."]
THUNDER ⚡ RUMBLING!!
The sound of the television and the rumbling thunder caused Nathaniel to lose focus of his work so he got up from the couch and walk towards the window in the room and looked up to see the Crackling of lightning in the sky.
Nathaniel suddenly felt a sense of deja vù while looking at the thunderclouds above his house because it reminded him of how he died in his previous life. He walk out of the house and came outside where he can have a better view of the clouds with a smile on his face.
BOOM!!
The smile on Nathaniel's face quickly disappeared when he heard the sound of an explosion miles away from his house. He quickly turned his head to the direction where the sound came from and it was from S.T.A.R. Labs but the expression on Nathaniel's face turned grim when he noticed from the corner of his eyes that the clouds of thunderstorm above his house has formed into a vortex and within the vortex was a highly concentrated bolt of white lightning and it was aiming at him.
"Not again?!!"
Nathaniel said out loud as he knew what was going to happen and as if on cue, the moment he said that, the highly concentrated bolt of white lightning descended on Nathaniel and sent him flying into his house.
BANG!!
[DING: Catalytes for the system awakening have been gained.]
[DING: Initiating full system awakening in 5...4...3...2...1...]
[DING: System fully awakened. The speed force system welcomes the avatar.]
A series of system notifications sound in the mind of the now-unconscious Nathaniel.
"Nathaniel?!!!"
Alex who just came downstairs saw the unconscious body of Nathaniel with lightning crackling from time to time fly into the living room of their house and she screamed out his name.

Central City police department.
In Barry's office.
Currently, Barry was in his office watching the live coverage of the particle accelerator.
["I'm Linda Park and we are outside S.T.A.R. Labs, despite the weather which will only get worse. The torrential downpour has in no way affected the particle accelerator, which is running smoothly according to the owner of S.T.A.R. Lab, Harrison Well."]
While the news was streaming, Barry went up to his board which showed a map of Central City and pulled it up to reveal his own collection of clues regarding any abnormal occurring in and outside the city.
He pined another article about the Starling City break-in at the applied science on the board before looking at the pined article about his mother's murder.
["Wait! We are now being told to evacuate the facility."]
Barry turned to the news when he heard the panicked voice of the news reporter.
["The storm may have caused a malfunction to the primary cooling system. Officials are now shutting down the particle accelerator but so far have been unable to regain control of the syst--"]
Barry quickly went to close the roof window of his office when heard the rattling sound in the room and the chemicals in the office started to flow freely with no gravity like what happened the day their mother was killed. Barry instinctively looks up only to see a bolt of lightning heading towards him.
BAM!!
Just like his twin elder brother, Barry was also smashed by the lightning and was sent flying into his shelve of chemicals before he passed out.

[Three months.]
It has been three months since the explosion of the particle accelerator and also since the Allen twins fell into a coma.
At Central City hospital.
At first, both of the Allens were brought here after they were found unconscious but a few days after they were brought here Barry started going through abnormal cardiac arrests so he was transferred to S.T.A.R. Labs while Nathaniel remains in the hospital and today he awakens from his three-month long slumber.
