AN: Hey, I'm Kaurii and this is my first story! :D I'll try to update consistently, but I can't make any promises. This story will put a different POV on the Flash universe than usual, basically making the main characters the bad guys. Basically, there's no Wells from any universe in this story, and at the moment there is no main threat like Zoom or Reverse Flash. Please drop a review if you like it or have suggestions, but in the meantime, enjoy this beginning! -Kaurii
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but my OCs and the plot.
All Barry had wanted was an afternoon off, but noooo, another meta just had to wreak havoc in the city again. Joy.
He sped into STAR Labs, ready to take on the newest meta.
"Whatcha got, guys?" He asked as Cisco and Caitlin typed furiously at their computers.
"Not sure yet," Cisco replied. "I'll hack into the traffic cams, see if I can get a look at what we're dealing with..." he trailed off, causing Caitlin to frown. "What is it?"
"The cameras are all completely destroyed," Cisco replied, leaving a sense of dread settling in Barry's gut. Whoever this was, they knew what they were doing. Not many people would think of destroying the traffic cams. "Based on the fritz that these cameras are giving off, I'd guess that some have been frozen, the rest shredded."
"So what do you think? A meta with two powers?" Barry guessed. Caitlin shook her head. "I don't think so. All the metas we've seen have only had one power- seeing one with multiple, just now, wouldn't be likely."
"So a team-up then? Team Evil Metas versus the Flash?" Cisco grinned. Barry didn't share his enthusiasm. A team of metas just meant more danger, and more people could die.
"Well, the sooner they're in the Pipeline, the better," Barry replied, quickly putting on his suit. "Where are they?"
Cisco did a bit more hacking. "Looks like they're right by Jitters. Go get 'em!"
Barry didn't need to be told twice, speeding off to the given location. He did not expect what he saw.
A dragon- a real life DRAGON gave a fearsome roar as it slashed at a man with ice swirling around him. The man narrowly dodged, retaliating with a blast of ice that hit the dragon's side. The beast hissed at the burning cold but recovered quickly, cracking the ice with its curved talons and letting it fall to the ground. The beast was quite beautiful, with shining royal blue scales and curved, polished deep blue horns. Its wings were the same color as its horns, with huge feathers and a wingspan that nearly enveloped the whole street. The man wore a plain T shirt and jeans, and his messy auburn hair made his blazing green eyes stand out.
"I don't want to fight you!" The man shouted, but even as he said this, an icy blast swirled above his hand. The dragon snarled in response.
"If you hadn't threatened my underground, I might have believed you," it growled in a low, feminine voice. "Now it's too late."
Her underground? What did that mean?
"I didn't know then what I know now!" The man replied, almost desperately, and the dragon snorted in disbelief.
Barry suddenly became aware of voices buzzing in his earpieces.
"Barry! What's happening?" Caitlin shouted.
"It's- it's a freaking dragon!" Barry sputtered. "It wasn't a team- she's fighting a man with ice powers!"
"A dragon- maybe she is a shape shifter," Caitlin mused. "Do you think she can fit in the Pipeline?"
"If she folds her wings then maybe," Barry replied, and decided to get involved. He sped up to the fighters, and they stopped to take a look at the newcomer.
"Flash," the man began, taking a defensive stance. "This is not your fight. Stay out of this."
The dragon shared a glance with the man, then took a similar stance, tail lashing in barely contained rage.
"This does not concern you," she snarled. "Stay out of this, and you might live to see tomorrow."
"Sorry," Barry replied, walking closer casually, "but I don't scare easily."
The dragon gave him a look that he could only describe as pure resentment. "You should. I have mastered every aspect of my power, and his power threatens yours, doesn't it?" She gestured towards the ice wielding man, who seemed surprised by her words.
"Well, I'd love to just let you two fight it out, but threatening activity near civilians... can't just let that pass, sorry." Barry replied.
The two metas shared a glance, and the dragon faced Barry as the man used his power to blast himself into the air, gone in an instant.
"This battle is not yours to interfere with. If you come between us again, I will not hesitate to end you." With that, she spread her massive wings and disappeared into the sky as well.
"So, they both just left?" Cisco asked. They were back in the cortex. "Any idea why?"
Barry shrugged. "This fight seemed pretty important to them. I guess they really didn't want to be interrupted." He was still lost in thought though, and his friends could tell.
"Did they say anything while fighting?" Cisco pressed. Barry's head shot up suddenly.
"The dragon- she said something about her underground- I think the man threatened it, and this is how she's responding."
"Underground? Like a secret system or something?" Caitlin asked. "It must be important, or she wouldn't fight so hard for it."
Barry nodded, about to add something, but his phone buzzed in his pocket and he pulled it out.
Joe had texted him. murder on 9th street. coming?
"Sorry guys," he told his friends. "My day job calls." With that he sped off.
Update soon? Maybe? Please review!
