MY DCU: The Flash; Rebirth

A lightning storm is brewing in Gotham. One of the worst the city has seen in recent years. 10 years to be exact.

Sitting in the Batcave, Batman sits in full batsuit, trying to connect the recent small-time thefts in Gotham's criminal underground.

"I don't understand. What is the common denominator between these crimes? Who benefits?" Batman speaks to himself.

All of a sudden, the Batcave is hit with a lightning strike that knocks the power out. As strange as that is, the strangest thing happens that puts Batman on alert. He begins to hear whispers in the dark.

"Bruccccceeee.." The voice in the darkness echoes. Batman looks around and sees the lightning strike around him, fluctuating power and flickering the lights. With the intensity of a major storm, the lightning strikes become more violent.

But, in a weird striking of yellow and orange lightning, a figure begins to form for the fragments. The figure manages to speak. "Bruce it's me!"

Batman, looking in awe, reaches his hand out to the stranger. Even if this is a trap of some kind, this stranger knows his name. Knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman. He has to at least try to help them.

But as Batman reaches his hand out, another surge of lightning surges through knocking Batman off his feet as the stranger emerges fully from the lightning.

Unknown to Batman, this stranger is none other than Kid Flash. Or he was. For some reason, Batman doesn't remember him. Out of breath, Kid Flash reaches out to Batman once again.

"Bruce I need your help!" Kid Flash spoke. Looking upon Kid Flash, Batman notices the lightning bolt across his chest.

"Flash? Is that you?" He asks.

"I'm not the one that you would know. I'm Kid-" Before Kid Flash can tell Batman who he really is, he is attacked by the very lightning that summoned him. Almost as if it were trying to pull him back into it. Kid Flash screams in Pain.

" Flash! Who's doing this to you?! Let me help!" Batman cries out to Kid Flash. Desperate to help, Batman quickly jumps onto his feet and tries to move closer to an immobilized Kid Flash.

But a stray lightning bolt strikes down in front of him, separating him from helping Kid Flash. With all his might, Kid Flash grabs his own hand and channels the lightning into his chest for the mere seconds he has left.

"The letter. Remember the letter from your father! Please you have to-" Without warning, another lightning bolt hits Kid Flash. He barely handles it. "Ask Barry! He will have the answers!"

It is astonishing how long Kid Flash has managed to hold all of this lightning back. But his luck has run out. In one last burst of lightning, Kid Flash is pulled back into the lightning.

And as he starts to disappear, he utters his last words to Batman. " Remember the letter Bruce!" His voice echoes through the batcave with a sudden burst of energy. When the burst disperses, the power starts to come back on.

As the Dark Knight pulls himself back off the ground, he looks around to see the remnants of the lightning around the cave. Hearing the commotion, Alfred comes off the elevator to see Batman staring at the burn marks on the floor.

"Master Bruce is everything Alright?" Alfred asks.

Batman turns his head quickly. "Get the Flash on the phone. Now."
