Episode One: Twin Terrors
If you somehow manage to stumble into a certain pair of troublemaking sisters, it's pretty safe to say that your life would be turned upside down. Unfortunately for two superheroes named Flash and Supergirl, the famous Twin Terrors named Lorris and Nilla landed RIGHT in their path.
Flash was the first of the two superheroes to meet the Twin Terrors. He was being attacked by both Reverse Flash (who had been MAGICALLY cloned) and Livewire (who had SOMEHOW recovered and traveled to this world) together in the park where no one was and couldn't pinpoint where his opponents were, leading to Livewire punching him into a thorny bramble bush. OUCH, that must hurt.
Right as Livewire was about to give the killing blow-evil laugh, raised fist, coming down to Flash's head-two anonymous voices that sounded very suspiciously like twelve-year-olds screamed, "I SHALL SUE YOU FOR ALL THE TROUBLE YOU'VE CAUSED ME!" The villains turned. Reverse Flash saw the threats in the voices and tried to run away. The bad thing is that he didn't see a tripwire in front of him, and face planted into mud. The tripwire came loose, and a cage that was attached to it fell on top of the villain.
Livewire snorted angrily. She turned back from watching, muttering, "Fool…" to herself.
"FOOL YOURSELF, OH THOU VILLAINOUS SNOTLOUT!" the one known as Lorris screamed from a tree, now clearly visible. Nilla popped up from behind a boulder. "This is going to get sooo bad," she whispered to herself.
Lorris called at Livewire, "HEY! Look over to the boulder!" When she turned to face Nilla, Lorris threw a golden dart with a heart-shaped tip and pink-and-white feathers at her back. To everyone who saw the little dart- namely, the twins, Flash and Reverse Flash-they all knew what it meant. Nilla's eyes glared at her sister. "SERIOUSLY!? DO YOU HAVE TO?!"
Well, yes. The dart pierced through and released its magic. Nilla ducked down just before Livewire saw her-and she instead saw a llama who had escaped from the zoo. So she fell head over heels for a LLAMA and ALL OF LLAMA-KIND, SO SHE LIKES ALL LLAMAS NO MATTER WHAT. Then again, it's never good to fall in love with a llama. This one was particularly smart. He was also a good friend of the Twins and they somehow learned Llamish.
The llama bleated in Llamish, "Hey, what's happening?" He saw Livewire grinning madly and rushing over to pet him and screamed for his father. "HELP! A poacher is here!" So Papa Llama ran over a from few meters and stuck his hoof out, which Livewire tripped over.
POW! AAAAH! BAAAAAAAAA! Tripwire!
The Twin Terrors were laughing their heads off. The father llama snapped the string to another tripwire, which crashed a cage right on top of Livewire. Then the llamas snuck back through the underbrush to the zoo again. Flash had gotten up and was leaning against a tree (not Lorris's). This was just WAY too confusing to figure out.
The laughter subsided, and Nilla hoisted herself to the top of the boulder. Lorris popped her head out through the branches of her tree. "So, it turns out that having llamas escape from the zoo is a really good way to catch a bunch of supervillains," she wheezed at her twin.
She then jumped out of the tree and looked at Flash. "Hi. You must be the Flash, a.k.a. Barry Allen and don't ask how I know because I already knew. I'm Lorris and that's my younger twin Nilla and we're often called the Twin Terrors by everyone who knows us because we're famous for being pranksters, annoying at times, April Fools kind of people, and we also like cats, art, fighting villains, taming dragons, dolphin-surfing, bungee jumping, prank scares, yadda yadda yadda."
Lorris yammered about random things whenever she felt like it. Nilla was the slightly less talkative one, and she climbed off the boulder next to Lorris to say, "You know, trying to be the monkey in the middle in between two villains working together is never a good idea. The best way to fight them is to make sure you have a CD and play their least favorite song or make them really embarrassed about something, or put up booby traps. Like, over there. Reverse Flash guy, why is your name so short and lame? And that yellow suit makes you look like a moldy mix of grapefruit and yellow tomato."
Reverse Flash roared from his cage, "I AM NOT A ROTTEN GRAPEFRUIT TOMATO MIX!"
"Are too. You know, if you want to look better, paint a little bit of gray with white on the edge. That'll really look moldy."
"WHAT! When I get out of here, I shall make sure that you NEVER get into my way again, YOU PIECE OF-"
"EOBARD THAWNE, DON'T DARE SAY THE BANNED WORD!" Lorris roared through a megaphone. "QUIET BEFORE YOU ARE DECAPITATED! (megaphone: Eeeeeee!)" The Reverse/Eobard clamped his mouth shut in fright.
Flash raised an eyebrow. "How are you so scary to them?" he asked the twins. Nilla shrugged. "Eh, we manage to do it just be being excellent actors. Often, when we're at battle with the criminals, our threats are real."
This one seemed real enough already. At least Lorris didn't decapitate anyone, even though she DID tie them up in a cage of vipers (they had rubber armor to deflect electricity). Livewire shrieked, trying to avoid the heads.
Flash thought, Hmm. These Twin Terrors are pretty good at getting the criminals in check. Wait, what would happen at S.T.A.R. Labs, or if they joined the team? Nilla seemed to know what exactly he was thinking. She asked, "You know, how about you take us to meet everyone at S.T.A.R Labs? We like looking at equipment and seeing if we can make new inventions. Also, Caitlin kind of knows about us. We've met her before but we didn't really talk because it was a gigantic party in the city hall."
So they had met Caitlin once at City Hall? Huh, that was coincidental. Flash shrugged the thought off and decided to let them come. "Uh, okay, but… could you guys stay a bit calmer once you're there? Because I-I don't think that the team would want a creepy loud introduction?" Lorris shook her head. "Sorry, no, but since the sock is still in its socket, we're gonna be completely terrifying unless we don't want to. Goodbye, we'll be seeing you soon."
She motioned for her twin to come along. They went behind the boulder and bounced back out on Star Wars hover-pods, weaving through the trees.
Flash/Barry/whatever Lorris decides to name him raced back to S.T.A.R. Labs in no time. The hover-pods arrived a bit later, and instead of parking like Nilla did, Lorris jumped off and let her pod crash into the wall. "Whoo! The springs really work!" Lorris screamed. She was completely fine, but her feet were bouncing everywhere because of springs on her shoes.
Nilla shrugged and snorted. "Come on. Let's go! You go ahead first and tell them EVERYTHING or my twin's gonna start telling the whole story from memory, Mr. Barry Allen. GO! LORRIS CAN SCREAM LOUDER THAN ME!"
Barry raised an eyebrow slightly and raced in. "Hi guys, I'm back," he grinned. Caitlin, Wally, Joe, Iris, and Cisco glared at him. Cisco stepped over and demanded, "WHY were you gone so long? Everyone was overreacting! Do not race off again into the middle of nowhere without telling us!"
"Yeah. Exactly WHAT happened to you, Barry?" Caitlin hissed. Everyone kept up their glares so intensely that it was as if they could send you up in flames. Barry rubbed his neck. "Uh, well, I kinda got stuck in the park fighting two villains, Eobard and someone called Livewire."
"TWO? BY YOURSELF?! How are you so STUPID? How did you even manage to escape? They could have killed you!" Cisco screeched.
"Actually, we prefer the term 'chop you up to mincemeat, roast you, and throw you to the sarlacc,'" a muffled voice called from outside the door. It was Nilla with her mouth covered behind her hands.
"Who's that?!" Iris asked. Barry stammered out, "Well, um, when I got stuck in the park, Livewire actually pushed me into a bramble bush and nearly punched my head off. Yeah. Then suddenly two kid voices started screaming. Eobard got tripped up trying to run and was caught in a phase-proof cage. Then someone popped up from behind a boulder, and a golden dart hit Livewire from a tree. The other face ducked away, and Livewire saw a bunch of llamas and started running toward them. One llama made her trip and get caught in a falling cage. Then the two voices hopped out and put Livewire and Eobard in a cage full of vipers. So that happened. Heh, heh."
The team stared wide-eyed. The twins silently crawled into the vent above the lab room. Nilla called out from an opening, "You haven't even finished the whole story, kid! We told you to say EVERYTHING!"
"Okay, coming in. Three… two… one…" Lorris whispered. She kicked the metal frame off and jumped in on even bouncier springs. "GERONIMOOO!" Team Flash balked in shock. Nilla hopped down a bit more gently. "Told ya!" she barked at Barry. Lorris stopped bouncing around and steadied herself. "HI! I'm Lorris, and that's my twin Nilla. To anyone who knows us, we're called the Twin Terrors. We were just in the park, we crashed into the wall of this place with hover-pods-well, that was me, actually-I shot the Llama Lover dart at Livewire, we mocked the old nuisance Eobard Thawne into being scared, et cetera, am I talking too much, or am I not talking too much? Okay, let's go!"
Team Flash was still in shock. Cisco rubbed his eyes and his jaw dropped even lower. "YOU were the two people who had to save Barry? HOW?! You look barely even twelve!"
"That's because we are twelve. Oh, and most of every trap that we put up was assisted by animals. Llamas helped with trapping Livewire, mostly because I shot a dart at her. I have HUNDREDS of different darts. The one I hit Livewire with is labeled 'Make the Person Love the First Animal Species They See.' So basically the villain has a huge love of llamas now."
Caitlin did a double take. "Wait, do I know you two from somewhere? Were-were you the clowns and mimes acting on stage at City Hall?" To that, Lorris nodded. "Yep. We were acting out an original, 'The Calm Girl and Her Crazy Mime-Clown Sister. So I was the Mime-Clown, Nilla was the Calm Girl who tries to stop the insane sister and ends up contacting a circus, then ultimately everyone joins the circus and is happy again. The great billionaire of Star City was also there, and we know he never laughs, but when we were performing, we saw him pounding his leg and laughing his head off. AND he was drinking, AND we don't approve of drinking and getting drunk because you can get addicted to it anytime, AND we're not just actors. Am I speaking too much? I think I'm speaking too much. Am I? Okay, I'll be quiet."
Joe shook his head and hid his face in a hand. "You two are even worse than Wally. He's already caused enough trouble," he muttered silently. Out loud, he called, "Seriously, Barry? What's with it? Absolutely no one knows how to make Oliver smile, and these two made him fall to pieces! Two twins who talk you to death! Just HOW do you do it?"
Nilla smirked. "Oh, well, the first thing we did was see a burglar out in the crowd sneaking up to one of Central City's rich people. He had a 24-carat gold watch with jewels all over it. The thief snuck the watch out, and, well, they say the rest is history. We changed a part of the play and went out into the crowd, making the thief perform ballet in the circus act."
There was a small silence. Cisco, who had been fanboying internally, breathed out, "Whoa… stopping robberies and saving superheroes and making the most serious, glummest vigilante laugh his head off! You guys are WAY awesome! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS."
At that Nilla perked up. "What, you don't have any people who know how to be crazy?" she queried. Team Flash shook their heads. Caitlin said, "Everyone mostly fights physically in order to get those bad guys down. No one has ever tried making them perform on stage before. Or, um, anything else for that matter, other than traps."
"Ah, but no booby traps like llamas or confetti-and-glue mix, right?" Lorris questioned, eyebrows raised in a devious smile. Caitlin shook her head. "None like that at all. Mostly luring the villains." Nilla facepalmed. "You all have LOTS to learn."
Lorris nodded. "No one here knows the effective ways besides physical fighting. Before we get into details, ANYONE WANT A TREAT?" Everyone raised a hand in favor, some excited, some not as much. Lorris blew on a whistle, and the hover-pods-turned-hover-saucers flew into the room. Cisco yelped again, fanboying.
The Terrors hopped into the driver's seats. Everyone followed in suit behind them. Lorris put on aviation goggles and yelled, "THIS IS GONNA BE A DANGEROUS RIDE!"
And they're off! The lever was pushed to Drive, the drive pedal stomped on-the hover-saucers zoomed through the halls of the lab at a deadly speed, only narrowly avoiding heads and weaving through tiny cracks. When they finally burst into open air, Nilla grinned. "So, how was the ride?!" she shouted. Caitlin, Joe, and Wally, who were in her saucer, shuddered. Wally called back at her, "That was NOT FUN; it tossed me everywhere!"
"I SAID it would be DANGEROUS!" Lorris screeched at him. The saucers flew upward into the air and dived down sharply towards the square.
Apparently the "fun" that the twins were talking about was fighting Zoom-a nasty clone of him. WHAT'S WITH CLONES TODAY?! They dropped Team Flash off on an apartment roof and a moment later were hang gliding through the air. Nilla had an ordinary one (she's not as crazy as her twin) and Lorris had one with an inflated goat head on top. They circled above Zoom, who was pretty much crashing the buildings into millions of pieces.
"I SHALL SUE YOU FOR ALL THE TROUBLE YOU'VE CAUSED ME!" Lorris screamed. And she was EXTREMELY LOUD. Almost as loud as a certain Silver Banshee from Earth 38.
Zoom saw them out of the corner of his eye and cackled. "Kids!" he muttered under his breath, "you really think you can stop me?" He started laughing out loud, getting more hysterical and devious. Lorris held her nose and gagged. "WHY does your breath SMELL like a mix of WET SOCKS and GARLIC? Did you not BRUSH YOUR TEETH? WHAT DID YOU EAT?"
"That just got weirder. Super strong sense of smell, like a dog or cat?! WHAT?" Cisco ranted. Nilla was flew low and caught the words. She replied, "Well, actually, it's better than a snake's scenting tongue, or even an elephant's trunk! We also have a lot more smelling senses from different animals! BACK TO THE FIGHT!"
Zoom was muttering angrily now, wondering how a hang gliding 12- year-old could smell his breath. Lorris slipped a toothy grin at him. "Don't worry! HERE'S SOME BREATH MINTS!" She dumped a bucket of eggs and sap on him at the perfect time, when he was caught off guard and got trapped in the phase-proof liquid.
The hang gliders landed next to each other on the road. Zoom irately yelled extremely inappropriate words at them, to which Lorris cringed and yelled, "QUIET, HUNTER ZOLOMON, OR ELSE!" That shut him up immediately. Nilla whispered to her sister, "What do we do now? This guy is a huge menace!" Lorris shrugged. "Maybe annoy him with a trap?"
"Nah, not that. Something more effective."
"Aha. I have the perfect plan. It does with a musical instrument."
