Chapter 17 - KIDNAPPED?! ? (1/2)
IN A BUILDING SOMEWHERE IN CENTRAL CITY
A man is glaring at a screen. His gaze carrying a menacing look with a sinister look on his face.
”Well...well, so that's the Flash that stopped my cargo from getting to me. He thinks he can just do whatever he likes to my materials, huh?”
”I'll teach him not to mess with me. First I'll deal with the one's closest to him,”he said staring at the picture of a woman on the screen.
”Ha ha ha”
He laughed derisively as he soared into the air, his footwear shining as he flew away.

BARRY'S RESIDENCE...
”I would have loved to store all the experience points and unlocked one of the super powers, but I need a little tweak here to be able to keep on taking down larger villains”, he said as he struck his chin.
”Oh, well..... Time to test my upgrades”
He looked at his house for a while.....
”I better not try it out here”,he said.
He superspeeds out of his house to the outskirts of the town where there was low human activity. He looked around for a while and entered the forest-like environment. He finds a sturdy tree and decides to use it for training.
He moves his hand slightly back and releases it aiming at the trunk of the tree. **BAM** The punch connects with the tree, a small crack appears on the trunk.
”Just a small crack. I better use that method and try if it will yield positive results.”he said.
He ran 500metres back. He aligned himself in a straight line with the tree. Immediately, he pushes his feet against the floor, launching himself forward with all his might and kept up going at full speed.
**CRACK***CRACK***CRACK**
Multiple cracks appeared all over the tree. Then, **snap**, the tree fell to the ground with a loud thud.
”Hmm.... It seems that my strength is greater when synced with my speed, at least for now. But I don't feel energy drain compared to last time. Raising the stamina level was a good choice” he said.
Just then his phone rang....
”Hello”
”Hey Barry. You have to get here ASAP”
”Why, what's the matter,Cisco?”
