2. The Flash Appears

The next morning, Thomas wakes up with his maid was there next to him and then smiled and said, "She loves to sleep next to me."

Thomas moved her arms off of him and she felt that and groaned and Thomas screeched and then moved out of bed and then she opened her eyes and asked, "Is it morning already, Master Thomas?"

Thomas checked the clock and answered, "Yes it is. I gotta go, Jennifer."

One of his maids, Jennifer Watkins said, "Oh, I apologise for sleeping with you."

Thomas said, "Don't worry about it. I'm used to it already. You've been doing a great job as a maid. Whenever you need time off, just tell me."

Jennifer said, "I need the money sir. You already know what position I'm in."

Thomas said, "Yep."

Jennifer said, "So I'll continue to work till I pay that debt. Then I'll take time off."

Thomas smiled and then said, "Oh well. Tried to help you. But now I have to go."

Thomas got dressed and then walked out of the mansion and then Thomas ran toward his base of operations in Central Ark. As soon as he arrived there, he noticed that the door was open and then Thomas walked in and asked, "Who is in here?"

The person heard that and then appeared in the chair and Thomas saw that and walked to his seat and then saw the symbol on the chest of the suit and said, "The Flash."

The Flash said, "Hello, Thomas Connors. It's nice to finally meet you."

Thomas said, "Likewise Barry Allen."

The Flash heard that and said, "You know who I am."

Thomas said, "Yes. I know who all of the heroes are. What brings you here?"

The Flash answered, "There is a speedster like me in Ark City. His name is Giovanni Lombardo, a.k.a. Speed Demon. Nicknamed by..."

Thomas said, "Cisco Ramone, a.k.a. Vibe."

The Flash smiled and said, "You truly did your homework."

Thomas said, "Well, I do my best. You need help taking down the Speed Demon, correct?"

The Flash answered, "Yes. I know where he is. I just need help fighting him."

Thomas said, "You can't handle him by yourself."

He said, "I'd love to think that I can. But he's really damn fast."

Thomas smiled and sighed and said, "OK then, I'm not as smart as you. So hook me up here."

The Flash handed him a communicator and Thomas put it in his ear and then said, "Hello."

Cisco said, "Hello, Thomas."

Thomas said, "Cisco, it seems like you have the entire team here."

The Flash said, "Nope. No one is with me. They are back in Star Labs."

Thomas said, "I see. OK. We're up against a speedster like us. And he's fast. Well now, that's unexpected."

The Flash said, "Yeah, but to be honest with you, I don't know if anyone else is more qualified in Ark City than yourself."

Thomas said, "Well, I am the best mercenary."

The Flash said, "Well, speak Cisco."

Cisco said, "Oh yes, do you know where Ark Plaza is?"

Thomas answered, "Yeah, we're in Ark Plaza right now. Why do you ask?"

Cisco answered, "Well, he's in the area."

Thomas put his cup of water out and saw that the water flew up and Thomas said, "I see."

The Flash said, "He really is here."

Thomas said, "I'm afraid so. What part of Ark Plaza?"

Cisco answered, "The most populated part."

Thomas heard that and said, "Ark Museum. It's where the artists sell their works for a huge sum of money. What does he want from that place?"

Cisco answered, "One of the paintings has a jewel in it. The Diamond of Life. Have you heard of it?"

Thomas answered, "Yes, the Diamond of Life is a stone that could turn a person immortal."

Cisco heard that and asked, "How do you know that?"

Thomas answered, "I know my jewels."

Cisco laughed and said, "Well, he's after it."

Thomas said, "Alright. That just means that we have to work double time."

The Flash said, "I was afraid of that."

Thomas said, "You are a hero, you should be used to it."

They heard that and then Thomas put a mask on and then The Flash said, "You don't have a suit yet."

Thomas answered, "Nope. It's being created by a really good friend of mine. And a girl that I don't know. But she turned me into this new person."

The Flash said, "We call people like us Meta-Humans."

Thomas said, "I see. And you gave them nicknames. Nicely done Cisco."

Cisco said, "It's Vibe to you."

Thomas said, "Nah, I say what I want."

Cisco said, "That's harsh."

Caitlin Snow said, "Well, you might want to start moving boys. Speed Demon just entered the building from the roof."

Thomas said, "I see. Let's go then."

The Flash said, "Yep. Let's move out."

They disappeared and then The Flash saw that he was slow and then said, "My god, you are slow."

Thomas said, "Well, I just got my powers yesterday, alright. You had them longer."

The Flash said, "That is true."

Thomas smiled and then a minute later, they appeared inside of the Ark Museum and then Speed Demon saw The Flash and grinned and asked, "What is The Flash doing here? But who really cares, he's slow and hasn't been able to defeat me at all. I'll find the Diamond of Life and gain immortality."

Thomas looked around and then disappeared and the Speed Demon saw that and then the owner of the portrait known as Kelsey's Journey, Marcus Art saw that Thomas was taking his picture and said, "It can't be. You are after the Diamond of Life."

Thomas looked at him and the Speed Demon smiled and The Flash asked, "How did he do it?"

Thomas looked at the Speed Demon and the Speed Demon took off and Thomas whispered, "Someone is after the Diamond of Life, protect it with your life."

He put it in his pocket and then the Speed Demon chased after him and The Flash followed him and then Thomas was going to go left to climb the building, but turned around and the Speed Demon ran up the building and grinned and The Flash ran up after him and then they started to swing at each other and then Thomas put the picture back and then Marcus saw that and asked, "Who are you?"

Thomas heard that and Cisco said, "Swift sounds like a good name for you."

Thomas said, "Call me Swift. I have to go. My friend is fighting the man after your jewel."

He smiled and said, "It's not mine."

Swift heard that and asked, "What do you mean?"

Marcus answered, "It's quite simple. Whoever protects the jewel will be the owner of it. I didn't protect it, you did. It is your jewel now."

Swift said, "No, I can't take it."

Marcus took it out of his pocket and then said, "It's yours. You can't break the code of the jewel now."

Swift sighed and said, "You can't be seri..."

He shoved the jewel down his throat and then Swift swallowed it and Marcus smiled and said, "Now no one will know where it is."

Swift said, "I will."

Marcus laughed and said, "Get going. Your friend needs your help, correct?"

Swift answered, "Yes he does. See you around."

Swift disappeared and then Marcus said, "I was the creator of the Diamond of Life. Now you are the man that became immortal. Don't disappoint me, Swift."

Caitlin asked, "What happened to the stone, Thomas?"

Swift answered, "He shoved it down my throat."

Cisco said, "That's harsh. But you are ok, right?"

Swift answered, "Yeah. Flash, I'm on my way."

The Flash said, "Good. I'm really getting my ass whooped here again."

Swift smiled and then the Speed Demon saw Swift and asked, "Where's the jewel?"

Swift answered, "Uh, it shattered."

The Speed Demon yelled, "It was a fake. Where's the real one?"

Swift asked, "How am I supposed to know."

The Speed Demon ran toward him and then Swift saw that and then the Speed Demon tackled him to the ground and started attacking him, but Swift blocked all of his punches with his hands and the Speed Demon said, "You are only on the defensive. There isn't a speedster stronger or faster than me."

Swift said, "Oh."

The Flash flew toward him and then the Speed Demon swung at the Flash and the Flash went flying into the wall and Swift kicked him back and then the Speed Demon grabbed his legs and started slamming him into the ground and then the Speed Demon stopped and said, "Like I said, you are far too weak too face me."

Swift started coughing and then the Speed Demon disappeared and entered the Ark Museum and Marcus saw him and said, "So you defeat both speedsters."

The Speed Demon heard that and asked, "Who are you?"

Marcus answered, "You don't need to know that."

The Speed Demon looked at the picture that he drew and then started moving it around and said, "It's gone. Where'd that damn speedster put it?"

Marcus heard that and then the Speed Demon disappeared and said, "Shit."

Swift grabbed The Flash and then took him back to his base and Swift took the mask off and said, "OK. I really need to get stronger."

Cisco said, "I thought that you two were goners for a second."

Thomas said, "Oh that was quite the beating."

The Flash said, "Definitely. Thank you for trying to help me. It didn't work. He got the Diamond of Life."

Thomas said, "Actually, I swallowed it."

The Flash heard that and asked, "Why? Why did you swallow it?"

Cisco answered, "The owner of it shoved it down his throat."

The Flash said, "So you lied to the Speed Demon about it shattering."

Thomas answered, "Yes. Hey Barry, I got a question for you."

The Flash asked, "What is it?"

Thomas asked, "Why do you do what you do?"

The Flash answered, "I always wanted to help people. Ever since my mother died, I wanted to help people so no one would have to go through with that. What about you?"

Thomas answered, "I just find my work entertaining. Plus, it eases my mind when people ask me for help."

The Flash smiled and said, "Well, that's a good explanation."

Thomas said, "I still think that yours was better. But hell, if you ever need me, just give me a call. I'll come to Central City. I got your back."

The Flash said, "Thank you."

He wrote down his number and said, "See you around Swift."

Thomas smiled and said, "See you around."

The Flash ran off and then Kevin called and said, "Thomas, I need your help with something."

Thomas asked, "What is it?"

Kevin asked, "What is your waist size?"

Thomas answered, "It's on my medical records."

Kevin said, "Oh, you're right. I wasn't thinking."

Thomas said, "Hey, take a break man. You sound completely out of it."

Kevin said, "Nah, I got this Thomas."

Thomas said, "Alright. Don't overdo yourself now."

Kevin said, "I won't."

He hung up and then started looking for his files.
