Chapter One: Enter Zoom

Jay Garrick felt more relaxed than he had in while. He sat in his living room listening to the radio. He also lit his pipe something he hadn't done in quite sometime. Jay used his speed to check if his wife was still sleeping, she was. She must still be tired from last night, he thought, I don't blame her even I was worn out for a bit. In less than a second Jay was seated again. He was enjoying his weekend off everything was quiet in Keystone and that was always a welcomed thing. The speedster leaned back in his chair turning the volume up on his radio. Jay was listening to station that was play good music from the early sixties. One of his favorite songs was playing. About a decade ago he saved a music artist from his own record manger. Apparently the manger thought his client dead that his music would sell even more. Jay stop the plot against the artist and he went on to write a song about The Flash and his exploits.

I've got time to think about the meaning of the thousand variations of the beating of a wing of a hummingbird suspended in the aspic of the world moving slower than molasses as I'm off to catch the girl who is falling off the cliff
and I'm there before she knows it
I'll be gone before she sees me
with my hand around her waist
I pull her back to safety
by the time she knows what's happened
there'll be someone else who needs me
because time keeps dragging on
and on
and on
and on
(time keeps dragging on)
I've got time to think about my past as I dodge between the bullets how my life was so exciting before I got this way and how long ago it was now I never can explain by the clock that's on the tower or the one that's in my brain
and I'm there before you know it
I'll be gone before you see me
and I'd like to get to know you
but you're talking much too slowly
and I know you'd really like me
but I never stick around
because time keeps dragging on
and on
and on
and on
and on
And you say the world goes rushing by- the song cut there was static for a moment and then. "We interrupt this station to report emerging incident. A battle has broken out in front Keystone City Police Station between police forces and a mysterious blur."

Jay Garrick sighed he was needed. It seemed his weekend vacation was ending early. He went and grabbed his costume off his desk put it on at super-speed and was out the door in less than a second. He was streaking down streets and alleyways taking the fastest route possible to the police station. Once he got there he saw the chaos that was breaking out. The police each shot they fired was easily dodged by their aggressor several officers already down. The demonic speedster blurred to the nearest cop running his fist through the man's chest. The Flash was shocked for less then half a second and then began to pick up the speed. Jay knew he was going to need to go all out; he hadn't faced enemy that could match his speed in a long time. This man made the Rival look a joke with his vicious disregard and speed. The Flash brought his fist back as he swung at the mystery assailant only to have his fist caught. "Jay Garrick," the speedster growled in demonic tones at the Flash.

Jay got his hand free from his opponent an moment. "So you know me, mind returning the favor and tell me who you are." he stared down the black figure The murder getting a good look at the creature. He was in what seemed to be a full black leather body suit with a small black lighting bolt on his chest. His eyes looked almost completely black almost like they were sinking back into his skull.

"Zoom," he howled his clawed hands stretching out his body bowed gesturing to come and fight.

The Flash face was stern and steadfast. "You murdered these men in cold blood and caused a lot pain here. You're not going to get away with this," he spoke his voice never wavering. Jay brought his head down going into a fast sprint remembering his football days back in college. Zoom tried to swing his misshapen hand at Garrick, but he saw it coming and dodged out of the way. Still coming at the black speedster Jay knocked his body into the villain sending Zoom flying into the brick wall behind him. "Surrender now!" Jay was kicked back by the demonic racer in response making him fall to the ground. A second after his fall he narrowly avoids Zoom's fist colliding with his face. The fist kept going and Jay could see the hole it has made into the pavement. He quickly got back to his feet and back into the fight. They were almost equally match with the Flash seemly having the advantage in speed and experience.

Zoom turn around and start running at full burst and Jay was behind him in pursuit. They ran down streets up and buildings they were moving all of the city with The Flash near catching him. Once Jay had caught up he could see the lighting around the black speedster was building up more than before. When they got to the outskirts of the city Zoom jumped twisting in the air to face Jay. The next thing that the Flash saw he didn't even know was possible Zoom hand reached and plucked the kinetic lighting out of the air around himself like a spear and thrust it at Jay. Before he could move out of the way it hit him causing him square in the chest causing him to seize up and drop to the ground flat on his back. Instantly Zoom was on top of him bring his fist down on him at super-speed. Jay knew if he didn't do something soon he'd be finished. With all his strength in his legs he kicked the black speedster off of him. He rolled away from the figure and jump back to his feet his face feeling sore and his head feeling light. He shook himself back to his normal alert self and went back on the offense.

The fighting continued as it did before and Jay was pulling ahead have more experience in fighting. That was when Zoom decided to go on the run again if he was trying the same thing as before the Flash wouldn't be fooled by the same trick twice. Right when he was about to grab the demonic racer made a blue sphere of light appeared in front of both them. Zoom didn't seem surprised so this must have been another one of his tricks. As they both run through the sphere they reappeared somewhere Jay did not recognize it definitely wasn't Keystone. Zoom took advantage of his confusion and another sphere appeared next to the black speedster. "See you later Flash," he roared jumping into the sphere. Jay attempt to close the football field size gap between them, but was too slow the sphere closed and he had no idea where Zoom went or where he was.

A/N - To clarify the Jay Garrick in this story is a version of the golden age one from the comics if anyone was confusing him with the one from the TV show I apologize. Finally if anyone was wonder the song was Jim's Big Ego - The Ballad of Barry Allen.

If this is received well enough I will try to continue with this story as much as possible.
