Author's Note: Hello, hello! Yeap, another story, another universe…I've finally had an idea for a Flash TV show—best show ever, mind you—and I'm excited! Now, because this is a new story, I'm not going to connect it with the show itself—it won't be a "season three"…and the small beginning that features Bart have been inspired by Young Justice: season two :p so, with that being said, let's get started!
Summary: A stranger appears in Central City after travelling from the future. Barry encounters him during a fight and later reveals his identity.
Chapter 1: A New Speedster
Footsteps came and they stopped when they reached its destination. It revealed a hooded figure who had an unreadable expression as it was staring down at another person.
"What are you doing, Bart?" the hooded person spoke.
The person, Bart, was getting ready to run.
"I'm going back." Bart replied with eyes narrowed.
"Back?" the man echoed. "Are you sure that's a wise idea? What if—"
"I don't care. Anywhere is better than here." Bart muttered.
The hooded man sighed. "Very well. But just be careful, please? And try not to give out your real identity but if that time ever comes then you must."
Bart nodded then pulled down his mask and he was getting into a ready position.
"Now, run, Bart. Run."
The speedster then took off, running faster than a normal human should. Impulse ran faster and faster until suddenly the place which he was currently in started to dissolve away and soon, he vanished.
The man stared at the now empty spot and sighed. "Good luck…Impulse."
:(/\):
Bart looked around as he was in a blue vortex-like tunnel.
Woah…
There were many images flashing past by him but the minute he stared at another image, he gasped with eyes wide.
Wait!
Too late.
Instead of going to the spot he wanted, he went to the next one and fell out of the tunnel, stumbling forward until he was able to regain his balance. Bart panted, looking up seeing a total different place—way different than to what he was used to.
I guess this is the place…?
Bart looked around, trying to gather the new environment and the minute he took another step, he was suddenly greeted by a large smash which sent him fall down to the sides.
Blinking, Bart looked up and opened his mouth to an o-shape as he saw a massive stone-shaped monster. Without giving him a glance, the rock creature jumped away which left Bart staring at it with wide eyes. Once he got up, he was met with a strong breeze that nearly knocked him over and the minute he looked straight ahead, he saw a flash of red streak that was zipping through the city.
Now's my chance! Bart exclaimed happily in thought. With full speed ahead, he started to chase after the red streak.
Man, he's fast. Bart thought as he was starting to get close to the red streak. At last, Bart was caught up with him and the two were running side by side.
"Uh…hi, there!" Bart exclaimed.
The red streak turned to the side and suddenly gave out a gasp from the unexpected voice and he clumsily tripped, falling to the ground. Because of this, Bart had a hard time stopping himself and he found himself tripping over the red streak.
The two were tangled from each other and Bart gave a sheepish laugh.
"Uhm…hi?" he chuckled, nervously.
The red streak stared at the newcomer and he was about to speak but Bart looked behind him, freaking out.
"Look out!" he yelled.
The red speedster glanced behind and as quickly as it had started, the speedster grabbed Bart and ran him to safety just as the flying boulder crashed down to the spot to where they were a few minutes ago.
The red Flash halted in his tracks, still having Bart in his hand.
"Who…who are you?" the speedster asked.
"Uh…I don't think now is the time to be asking questions. The angry rock guy is coming at us!" Bart cried out.
The Flash turned around, being in front of Bart as the two watched with wide eyes as they saw the rock monster heading towards them.
"Got any plan?" Bart asked.
"Uh…" Barry lifted his hand up to his earpiece. "Cisco! What's the plan here?"
"Yo, Cisco here. You can try to vibrate through him so he can crack through pressure."
"That's it?"
"It's the only plan I came up with at the last second!" Cisco exclaimed.
"Okay…then…"
"So, what's the plan, chief?" Bart asked.
"Uh, you stay here and I'll vibrate through him." the speedster answered.
Bart blinked. "What? But—"
"No time."
With that, Barry ran full speed leaving Bart to stare blankly.
"Hey, wait! I want to help!" he cried out.
Bart chased after him. Barry, who was unaware of the new speedster that was behind him, he continued to run ahead, running straight towards the rock man who gave out a roar and was ready to strike. Barry closed his eyes, taking a breath in before he felt himself vibrating.
However, as Barry was coming close to him, the beast roared loudly and then he lifted his arm to smash at the ground.
"Watch out!" Barry exclaimed, seeing the new speedster that was falling to the abyss.
The speedster groaned, realizing that he had to abandon his plan in order to save the new guy…whoever he is. He then made a different route by changing directions and started to run towards the falling speedster. Barry grabbed Bart by his arm as he was running across the gap.
The two stumbled to the ground and because of the distraction, the rock monster was able to get away. Bart coughed, still feeling a bit dazed while Barry watched the empty spot.
"Oh damn." Barry muttered.
:(/\):
Cisco raised an eyebrow as he was sucking on a lollipop. He was still befuddled from the scene.
"Okay, what had happened? Why didn't Barry perform the plan?" Cisco asked.
Just then, a familiar breeze came. Knowing who it was, Cisco turned around to see his fellow speedster.
"Barry, what happened?"
"We got a problem." Barry announced. He then dragged a figure at the front.
"Who's…he?" Cisco questioned, giving Bart an odd look.
"That's the problem. He suddenly came out of nowhere. I don't know who he is or how he has the ability to run faster." Barry explained.
All eyes turned to Bart who was suddenly awkward.
"Who are you?" Cisco echoed.
"Uh…I'm impulse! Barry's grandson!" Bart announced
