While I did have plans to stop writing my fanfictions, I have recently had a change of heart by noticing some very interesting similarities between the show (The Flash) and my fanfictions. Such as Ragdoll (that episode even had a dance like mine did- despite the alternate dance partners Caitlin/Iris.)
The fact that the group now has a telepathic member who is also empathic and can pick up on people's emotions (remember my Gotham's gladiators story where Astrid felt the emotions of the entire city?
The part where Cisco breaks up with Astrid (Gypsy in the show) because he wanted to commit and she wasn't ready to. and now Barry and Cisco will be meeting Batwoman (as opposed to Batman).
The episode where Caitlin goes up against her father and finds that he has been trapped with Icicle using his body kind of like my older Smallville episode where Astrid went up against her father who had been taken over by an alien and Cisco was the only one who could figure it out.
I am not saying that they are getting the ideas from my fanfictions but if they are... and they are reading this... Please give me a shout out on the show, it would be so cool! Damn, I am such a nerd... Anyway, on with the story!
Chapter 1 - Episode 37 - Kryptonite!
"Eventually we are going to start running out of second chances… I am beginning to lose count how many times one of us dies in alternate timelines…" Caitlin said as she approached Cisco with her tablet. Cisco was currently swinging on his chair at his desk and staring at the screen of his computer with a lollypop in his mouth.
"I think I have died... hmm... twice now? Three times if you count my death that hasn't happened yet... I always said that STAR Labs would be the death of me!" Cisco replied, removing the lollypop. "Hey, Cait? Did you ever see that movie with Adam Sandler? You know the one where he had that remote control that could reset his entire life? Maybe that is what we are dealing with here... If that's the case, I'm just expecting the batteries to go flat… wait… that gives me an idea!"
Cisco jumped from his chair and began rummaging around at his workstation looking for gadgets that might help with his wishful project. He sighed and picked up his phone to show Caitlin. "I don't have a remote control handy… But I have a phone… that could work!"
Caitlin raised her eyebrows and shook her head softly. "Sure thing, Cisco. Maybe we could…"
Before she could finish her sentence, they were interrupted by Astrid and DR Wells who entered the cortex abruptly.
DR Wells found the remote control that Cisco had been looking for by the television and switched on the screen, while Astrid called for Cisco and Caitlin's attention.
The reporter's voice broke out loudly into the cortex. "…In breaking news, the quarantine on Smallville has been lifted revealing astonishing results. It seems that many of the town's residents have aged from the effects of the radiation…"
The group's eyes grew wide and Astrid addressed Caitlin. "Get your friend Pamela on the phone, Caitlin! We owe it to Kara to speak with her cousin!"
Caitlin nodded and left quickly to do as she had been instructed, just in time for Barry to enter the cortex. "Did you see the…" he stammered.
"We did, Barry. We're heading there soon!" Astrid replied.
Cisco's eyes grew wide as he remembered the events from the alternate timeline. "But that boy… Didn't we instruct him to kill Barry? He's a Kryptonian! He's dangerous!" he stammered.
Astrid and Barry both nodded. But Astrid addressed Cisco's concern. "That's why we are reaching out to him now. Maybe we can bring him into our fold. You know mentor him or something."
"Sutherland, Allen, Ramon?" DR Wells called out still focusing on the television.
The group looked up at the screen to see a bald-headed man, dressed in a suit making a speech on the television. "…Before my father died, he left me in charge of the business… of Lexcorp. And now that Smallville is no longer living in a bubble, I will endeavor to carry out my father's plans…"
"MR Luthor," the reporter replied. "What are those plans?"
The stare that the man gave the camera was enough to send shivers down anybody's spine. But his words were all the more chilling. "Before my father died, he was hunting for extra-terrestrials and humans that had been altered by the meteor. I will bring them all in because they are nothing more than a threat to our earth… They must be eliminated."
Caitlin had just joined the group who had become slightly intimidated and had seen the entire speech. Cisco placed his hand on Astrid's shoulder comfortingly. Barry spoke up. "Let's go back to Smallville, shall we?"
The rest of them nodded and then Caitlin spoke up. "I couldn't get in contact with Pamela… She's MIA."
