Time for a Halloween special.
Leave a review after reading, please.
Special thanks to Unnamed and aarushijain09 for the recent reviews.
It was October 31st, the day of Halloween. It's the day where everyone celebrates the holiday for horrors. Little children dress up in scary costumes and go trick-or-treating for candy. The teenagers, meanwhile, throw parties. Tommy Merlyn, for example, is throwing a Halloween party using his trust fund money. Every student from Silverstone High was invited.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned warehouse, more than a dozen people were working on some kind of drug. The boss of the operations, known as The Count, just exited his office.
"Ah, Halloween," he started, sounding excited. "The perfect time to distribute my goodies."
"Hey, boss," called one worker. "That rich boy, Thomas Merlyn, is throwing a party tonight. All of Silverstone High will be there."
"Excellent," said The Count. "Work faster! We need this ready by tonight. It's gonna one hell of a Halloween."
"But what about The Hood?" asked one worker. "He's still coming after you."
"He'll never know where I am," said The Count.
At the West household, Iris was wearing her costume and looking at herself in the mirror. She was dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West.
Someone knocks on the door.
"Iris?" It was Joe. "time for breakfast."
Iris answers the door.
"Well, look at you," said Joe, seeing his daughter's Halloween outfit. "You're not keeping a monkey in there, are you?"
Iris laughed, amused by Joe's joke.
"Hey, what's Barry wearing?" asked Iris.
"I don't know yet. Boy wouldn't answer the door," said Joe. "C'mon, Wicked Witch. Time for breakfast. And I promise, there's no water."
Iris giggled again.
...
Meanwhile, inside Barry's room...
Barry was doing research on his laptop. He was interrupted when someone entered through the open window. It was Linda.
"I see you left the window open like I asked," she said.
"You know my dad is gonna have you arrested for breaking and entering if he sees us," said Barry.
"Technically, you let me in here, so we're both guilty," said Linda.
"So, why did you want to meet up?" asked Barry.
"Because we need to talk," said Linda.
"About what?" asked Barry.
"About us," answered Linda.
"You're not... breaking up with me, are you?" asked Barry.
"That depends," said Linda.
"On what?" asked Barry.
"Barry, I know you like Iris," said Linda. "You don't have to deny it. I know you do."
Barry didn't say a word. He knew Linda was right.
"But why does this have to get in the way of us?" asked Barry. "I asked you out because I wanted to move on."
"You don't 'want' to move on, Barry. You just 'think' you want to," said Linda.
"But Iris, she doesn't feel the same way. Beside, she has a boyfriend," said Barry.
"Look, Barry, I like you, I really do, and I know you like me, but ever since I figured out the truth, I just feel like someone who is standing in the way of two people who love each other," said Linda. "I can't go on if I can't stop thinking like this."
"Wait? Iris loves me?" asked Barry.
"That's for you to find out," said Linda.
"Can we at least go on one more date before you give me an out?" asked Barry. "Tommy's Halloween Party. What do you say?"
"Alright," said Linda. "What costume are you wearing?"
"Uh... The Hood," answered Barry awkwardly.
"Wow, you're like his #1 fan," replied Linda.
"What about you?" asked Barry.
"Since you're going as 'Robin Hood', I might as well dress like Maid Marian," replied Linda.
"So, see you tonight?" asked Barry.
"See you tonight," replied Linda.
Linda kisses Barry on the cheek before jumping out the window.
At the SCPD, Laurel was visiting her father.
"Hey, dad," greeted Laurel.
"Hey, sweetie," greeted Quentin, hugging his daughter. "What are you doing here?"
"It's about the Vertigo case," said Laurel. "Anything new?"
"So far, five victims in the past three days," said Quentin. "Four dead. One currently in a hospital."
"Anything the CNRI can do to help?" asked Laurel.
"Laurel, The Count is a big name among Silverstone's criminals. I don't think you should be digging this deep just yet," said Quentin.
"Can you at least give me details on the last victim?" asked Laurel.
"You're not taking no for an answer, are you?" guessed Quentin.
"Nope," said Laurel with a smile.
...
After getting what she needed, she takes out the phone that The Hood gave her and contacts him.
"Hey," she greeted.
"Well, what did you find?" asked The Hood.
"The last victim was believed to be drugged in alleyway on 25th," said Laurel. "Maybe you can find what you're looking for there."
"Thanks, Laurel," said The Hood.
"Oh, by the way, everyone from Silverstone High will be attending a big Halloween party tonight," mentioned Laurel. "There are a few dozen who score drugs."
"A building full of teenagers. Definitely a target for The Count," said The Hood. "I'll be there. You won't see me, but I'll see you."
At the Danvers' apartment building, Kara had just returned after a brief morning flight as Supergirl.
"Maybe you should wear that for the party tonight," joked Alex.
"That would be fun, but people might start connecting dots if I do," said Supergirl.
"So, what are you wearing?" asked Alex.
"All that I'm telling you is that I'll be heading to the salon for a hair-dying treatment," said Supergirl. "You?"
"A cyborg," said Alex. "I had to ask Hank if I could borrow materials from the D.E.O. Non-functional materials. Of course, I have to give them back after the party or he's gonna be super ticked off."
Supergirl comes out her room in her normal clothes.
"Hey, I heard about you and Adam. I'm sorry," said Alex.
"Don't be. That was my choice," said Kara. "Between school, CatCo, and being Supergirl, there's too much going on in my life to let him be a part of it."
"Is he okay?" asked Alex.
"He's okay with it," said Kara.
"So... any running ins with... the Flash?" asked Alex, raising an eyebrow.
"Not since a couple weeks ago," said Kara. "And no. I'm not in love with him."
"You described him as a lady killer, remember?" reminded Alex.
"Well, he's got the charm, humor, and manners, that's for sure," said Kara.
"So, why not take a peek under the mask?" asked Alex. "Maybe he's also secretly a teenager."
"I have to respect his secrets, Alex," said Kara. "When he and I reveal each other's identities... I want it to be a meaningful moment. A moment that will strengthen our respect for each other."
"Deny it all you want, Kara. I know you're attached," said Alex.
"If I am, it's only because he knows how to make me smile," said Kara. "If he has a girlfriend, then she's the luckiest girl on Earth."
...
Later that day, Alex arrives at the salon to see how Kara is doing. Before she could open the front door, someone already opened it. It was Kara. Alex was surprised by her look. Kara dyed her hair completely black.
"Wow," said Alex. "Seriously, what are you wearing?"
"A white dress and a little bit of make-up," answered Kara.
The night has come. It was almost time for Tommy Merlyn's first Halloween party, the first one he throws, to be more precise. The party takes place in a flashy building that Tommy paid for. There was a table full of sweets, a bar, and a haunted house of his own design. Despite the news reporting of a storm coming later that evening, the host chose not to cancel.
Tommy was the only student in there, overseeing the decorations. He wasn't going to be the only student. Oliver and Laurel arrived an hour early.
"Hey, Tommy," greeted Laurel.
"My two best friends in the whole wide world," greeted Tommy, giving both of them a hug. "Wow! You two look great."
Oliver was dressed like the Terminator. He wore a black jacket and his gloves were painted to look like robotic hands. Laurel, on the other hand, chose a strange outfit. She was wearing a black top, a purple jacket, calf-high boots, and fishnets.
"Honestly, I have no idea who or what she is," said Oliver.
"Joanna took me to a comic book store, hoping we can find inspiration for our Halloween costume, so I found mine," said Laurel.
"I'm sure a lot of boys are gonna be drooling. I know I am," said Tommy.
Laurel blushed. Tommy smiled. Oliver felt awkward.
"I'm... gonna leave you two alone," said Oliver, walking away.
As soon as Oliver was out of hearing range, Laurel and Tommy talked.
"So, Merlyn, scored yourself a date tonight?" asked Laurel.
"I tried Leslie, but she said no," said Tommy.
"Leslie? That girl is a narcissistic jerk," said Laurel. "Okay, she's pretty, but her personality is not."
"What about you?" asked Tommy. "Anyone asked you out?"
"Five did. I said no to all of them," said Laurel. "I'm surprised you didn't ask me out."
"After our sixth date at the bowling alley, you said we had to keep our relationship professional," reminded Tommy.
Laurel sighs. "I'm gonna talk to Ollie. I'll leave you to your manage-ing."
...
Oliver was looking at the haunted house. Laurel approached him.
"Hey," called Laurel.
"Hey," greeted Oliver.
"So, Ollie, you found a date for tonight?" asked Laurel.
"Actually, I have," answered Oliver. "Helena Bertinelli."
"Helena? Really? How did you get to her?" asked Laurel.
"We talked. I helped her see that she's not the only one who knows what it's like to go through hell," said Oliver, trying to sound as honest as possible without leaving suspicion that he's holding something back. "We went to dinner and we made it official."
"How long?" asked Laurel.
"Five days," answered Oliver.
"I see you were serious when you wanted to change your approach on women," said Laurel.
"One year on an island... all I could do was think," said Oliver.
"And run away from wolves?" joked Laurel.
Oliver smiled, amused.
"Everyone's seen what you can do in gym class," said Laurel. "How come you're not trying out for something. Basketball. Football. You have the physicality. All you need is training."
"I have other plans, Laurel," said Oliver. "You. Tommy. Thea. My mother. Besides, sports aren't really my thing."
"You really have changed," said Laurel.
"After a while on the island, I thought I deserved to rot there for what happened to Sara," said Oliver. "But if I ever had the change to go back, I promised myself to be a better man."
"And so far, you're succeeding," said Laurel.
"What about you and Tommy? Are you guys done?" asked Oliver.
"No, it's me. I've been... distant," said Laurel.
"Is it because he's not the one-woman type?" asked Oliver.
"Well, honestly, it's you," said Laurel, looking at Oliver in the eye. "You told Tommy that we didn't need your blessing. You were wrong. I can't help but feel that deep down inside, you still have feelings for me."
Oliver didn't know how to respond. He knew she was right.
"But that shouldn't matter," said Oliver.
"Actually, it does," said Laurel. "Ollie, I wanna move forward with Tommy, I really do, but I can't do that unless you tell me right here, right now, if it's alright."
Instead of words, Oliver leans in gives Laurel a friendly kiss on the cheek.
"You deserve someone like Tommy," he said.
Laurel smiled. Oliver smiled back. Someone coughed, seeking to attract their attention. They turned around and saw Helena. She was dressed like Cruella de Vil, wearing a fluffy coat and clothes with the colors red and black, along with Dalmatian spots.
"Hey," greeted Oliver.
"Hey," greeted Laurel.
"Hey...?" Helena felt awkward.
"You look great," said Laurel, complimenting her outfit.
"Yeah, thank dear old daddy and his money," replied Helena.
Laurel looks at Oliver and says, "I guess it's my turn to walk away."
Laurel returns to Tommy so Oliver can be alone with Helena.
The clock hits eight o'clock and the party begins. Almost everyone from Silverstone High as arrived. Few more are running late. Two of them are Barry Allen and Iris West. Barry was out fighting crime as The Flash and by the time he got home, it was almost time for the party. He had to rush into his costume and run to the car.
"Fifteen minutes late," said Iris.
"Hey, I said I was sorry," said Barry.
"There you are." Eddie approached the two.
"Hey, Eddie," greeted Iris.
Iris and Eddie shared a kiss. Once again, watching the two of them made Barry feel both awkward and jealous.
"What took you so long?" asked Eddie.
"Barry," answered Iris. "Always late."
"Again. I'm sorry," apologized Barry again.
"Well, it's okay. The party lasts until midnight, so we got plenty of time," said Eddie. "Oh, and Bar, Linda's looking for you. She's at the candy station."
"Thanks," said Barry.
Barry was trying to squeeze his way through the crowd when he bumped into someone. It was Laurel Lance.
"Sorry," they apologized at the same time.
Laurel stared at the sophomore, due to his costume.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Barry, noticing.
"Sorry, it's just... you're dressed like... 'him'," said Laurel.
"Oh, right. He saved your life once. I read about it," said Barry.
"You must be a fan," assumed Laurel.
"That I am," said Barry. "Well, I, uh, got to go."
Barry meets up with Linda.
"Fresh off a break-up and already looking for another girl, huh, Allen?" started Linda.
"Oh, no, it's not like that," said Barry, knowing that Linda saw him with Laurel. "Tha-that was Laurel Lance. She met The Hood once. And as you can see, I'm dressed up like him."
"Looks like you're not his only fan," said Linda.
"Well, he did save her life," reminded Barry.
"I see you brought a bow and some arrows," said Linda.
"Well, I wanted to complete the look," said Barry.
"What's say we go into the haunted house and test those arrows?" suggested Linda.
"Just be sure to leave the jump-scaring to the horrors inside," said Barry.
"Let me guess. Iris does that," guessed Linda.
"Yup," replied Barry.
...
Also arriving late are the Danvers sisters. Alex had metal gear attached to her, as well as an eyepiece resembling a robotic eye. Kara was wearing a white dress, coated in fake dust, and wore make-up to make herself look like a person who came back from the dead.
They saw James, Winn, and Lucy and approached them. James was dressed as a knight in shining armor. Lucy was dressed as a ninja. Winn was dressed as Frankenstein's monster.
"Hey, guys," greeted Kara.
Winn turns around and shrieks with fear when he saw Kara.
"Winn, relax, it's me," said Kara.
"Kara? Wow!" Now that he knew who has under the make-up, Winn looked impressed. "You get my vote for scariest costume."
"I wish there was an award for best scared reaction," joked Alex. "I wish someone recorded the look on your face."
"Ha ha," said Winn sarcastically.
"Nice costumes," complimented Kara.
"Thanks," said James. "So, about Adam..."
"I'm fine, James," assured Kara. "We ended things on a good note."
"That's great to hear," said Lucy.
...
Meanwhile, Cisco has just exited the Haunted House, breathing in and out, trying to recover from the terrors he encountered inside. He immediately saw a familiar face.
"Caitlin?"
"Yeah, it's me," said Caitlin.
"Wow, you look... frosty," quipped Cisco.
Caitlin was dressed like Elsa. She wore a glittery blue dress and wore a white wig.
"You always said I was 'cold', so I thought my outfit should fit my personality," replied Caitlin sarcastically.
"Well, nice to see you're here," said Cisco.
"You looked pretty scared back there," said Caitlin, referring to the look on his face when he exited the haunted house.
"Tommy really went all out with the scares in there," said Cisco. "You should give it a go."
"Maybe later," said Caitlin.
The Halloween party was going just as planned. Everyone is having fun. The students enjoyed the candy. Some of the seniors were getting wasted at the drinking bar. The Haunted House leaves almost everyone petrified. Tommy was happy to see that his party was going well.
"It's official. You're the king of the world, Merlyn," said Laurel, approaching him.
"Well, I just wanted to be sure everyone has fun," said Tommy.
"Are you really going to let Leslie Willis perform on stage?" asked Laurel.
"I made her a promise," replied Tommy.
"So, I talked to Oliver," said Laurel.
"About...?" asked Tommy.
"Us," answered Laurel. "If you want another date, then feel free to ask me anytime."
"Wow," reacted Tommy. "Okay."
Laurel stayed silent for a while. She then noticed a few students exchanging drugs in secret. The color of the pills told her that it was Vertigo. She walks away from Tommy and picks up the phone that The Hood gave her.
"Hey," she greeted.
"What is it?" asked The Hood.
"I can see some students exchanging Vertigo," said Laurel. "Tell me you found The Count."
"I'm on it," said The Hood. "In the meantime, you can help me. Get the Vertigo away from those kids."
"Not gonna be easy, but... I'll try," said Laurel. "Where is The Count?"
"The Count operates at 14th. I assume you want to inform the police," replied The Hood. "Contact them, but don't let them know it was you. Your father will not be happy."
Oliver was watching Laurel from the distance. After the phone call ended, he turned to Helena. She crossed her arms and wore a look that was the opposite of happy.
"What?" asked Oliver.
"I'm sorry, Oliver," said Helena coldly, walking away.
"Sorry for what?" asked Oliver.
"Sorry I ever listened to you," said Helena, sounding angry. "You know what I've been through. You know I can't be hurt again."
"I'm not trying to hurt you," said Oliver.
"So, kissing your ex-girlfriend in front of me was what, Oliver?" questioned Helena.
"That kiss... it was just a friendly gesture," explained Oliver. "She needed my help to move forward with Tommy."
Helena refused to listen and walked away from Oliver. Oliver chose to leave her alone and focus on looking for The Count.
...
All of a sudden, a truck crashes into the front door, capturing everyone's attention.
"What the hell is this?" Tommy stepped forward.
The driver steps out of the car. He was 15 years old, pretty tall, and had a strong build.
"Tony?" Barry and Iris recognized him.
"You know this guy?" asked Linda.
"Tony Woodward," said Barry. "Let's just say he and I don't get along."
"A Halloween party? And you forgot to invite me?" started Tony.
"We all thought you were dead," said Iris. "When the particle accelerator exploded..."
"Well, I'm not dead," said Tony.
"Even if we were going to let you stay, you don't have a costume," said Tommy.
To everyone's surprise, Tony turned his entire body into metal.
"Is this good enough, Merlyn?" Tony was clearly not taking no for an answer.
"You're a metahuman" said Tommy.
"Is that 'no' I'm hearing, Merlyn?" Tony walked towards Tommy, intimidating him.
Tony puts his hand on Tommy's chest and pushes him down.
"I'm staying whether you like it or not," said Tony.
"Leave him alone!"
Everyone turned their heads to the one who yelled. It was Barry.
"Allen?" Tony recognized him. "Why are you dressed like Robin Hood? It's Halloween. You're supposed to be dressed as something scary."
"Everyone fears The Hood," said Barry.
"Not me," said Tony. "Okay, runt, let's play a game. I'm gonna pound the host to paste, and you try to stop me."
"Don't do this, Tony. This is a party. We don't need this," said Barry.
"I just want to see if you've learned how to be a man," said Tony. "Guess you haven't."
Suddenly, someone punched Tony in the head from behind. It was Kara.
"Unless you want another, I suggest you leave," threatened Kara.
"Okay, first of all, nice costume, scared me for a second. Second, not a chance, girlie," said Tony.
Tony turned his fist into metal. Before he could punch Kara, something soft hit him in the back of his head. It was a plastic arrow, courtesy of Barry.
"Is that supposed to hurt me?" mocked Tony.
Tony walks towards Barry. Barry fires arrow after arrow in a desperate attempt to keep Tony at bay, but nothing works. Tony turns into metal completely and punches Barry, causing him to crash into the haunted house.
"Barry!" cried Iris.
Iris was about to rush towards her adoptive brother, but Tony stands in her way.
"Get out of here, Tony!" yelled Iris.
...
Alex was dragging Kara out of the crowd.
"Alex, what are you doing?" asked Kara, pulling her arm back.
"Shh," said Alex.
Alex opens her bag and reveals Kara's Supergirl costume, along with a blonde wig.
"Alex Danvers, you are a life saver," said Kara, smiling.
"Does this mean I'm forgiven?" asked Alex.
"We'll talk about it later," said Kara.
Kara takes the bag and sneaks outside unseen.
The Count was in his warehouse, eating some candy of his own. One of his men approached him.
"The Vertigo's made it to the party," he said.
"Excellent," said The Count. "Oh, I can't wait to watch the news tomorrow."
Suddenly, the lights go out.
"The Hood! He's here," exclaimed The Count. "What are you waiting for, you fools? Grab your guns and find him!"
The men scrambled in the darkness to pick up their weapons. They eyed the darkness, looking for anything that's green.
Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the shadows.
"Count Vertigo! You have failed this city!"
The Count's men started shooting at the ceiling, but they hit nothing. One man was pulled into the shadows. He was brought back to the light with an arrow through his neck. The Hood jumps out of the shadows and started fighting The Count's men. He whacks a few his bow before stabbing them with an arrow. He fires an arrow and hits one in the chest, killing him. He keeps firing arrows at every armed man he sees, killing each and every one of them. One tried to ambush him from behind, but he reacts quickly and jabs an arrow into his eye.
The Count grabs his gun and fires, but The Hood dodges all the bullets. The Count ends up killing a couple of his own men.
"C'mon out, coward," dared The Count.
The Hood fires three more arrows and kills three more of The Count's men. He disarms The Count by firing an arrow at his gun, knocking it off his hand. The Hood walks towards The Count with a syringe of Vertigo in his hand.
"Why do you do this? I am merely providing what the people want," said The Count. "They love what I give them."
"What you're giving is chaos," said The Hood.
The Hood punches The Count to the ground. He sticks the needle of the syringe into his neck.
"Taste of your medicine! Let's see how you like it," said The Hood.
The vigilante then injects the Vertigo into The Count. He started shaking until he passed out. The Hood heard police sirens, which means the SCPD are on their way.
The Hood leaves the warehouse and watches the police surround the warehouse from the top of a nearby building.
"Thanks, Laurel," he said.
He then fires a grappling hook arrow at another building and swings his way back to the party.
Back at Tommy's Halloween party, Iris and Tony are still having a staredown.
"I always like you, Iris," said Tony. "Don't make me hurt you."
"It will be me who'll be hurting you if you don't step aside," threatened Iris.
Tony grabs Iris' arm in a threatening manner.
"Don't talk to me like that," warned Tony.
Suddenly, a yellow streak zooms into the room and takes Iris West away from Girder's grip. It was the Flash. Everyone started cheering. The boys shouted loudly and the girls swooned for the speedster.
"Didn't anyone teach how to treat a lady?" started Flash, disguising his voice.
"Figured you'd drop by," said Tony, cracking his knuckles. "I've been waiting for this."
"I've known people like you," said Flash. "They thinks they can just pick on anyone because it make them feel big. Well, you're bullying days are over, buddy."
To everyone's surprise, something comes crashing in through the ceiling, only it wasn't "something". It was "someone". It was Supergirl. Once again, the students cheered.
"Forgot about me? I'm hurt," joked Supergirl.
"Hey," greeted Flash.
"Hi," greeted Supergirl.
"No costume for the holiday?" asked Flash.
"I was gonna ask you the same thing," said Supergirl.
Flash and Supergirl laughed a little. The crowd started oohing, sensing the romantic tension between them.
"Flash and now Supergirl? Must be my lucky day," said Tony, preparing to fight.
Tony turns himself into metal. Flash started speed-punching Tony while dodging his punches. However, Flash's punches don't do any damage. Luckily, one punch from Supergirl knocks down Tony. Tony gets back up and started punching. Flash dodges every punch, until he got hit, getting knocked back half a dozen feet away. Supergirl flies towards Tony at high speed and punches him in the stomach, knocking him down again. Tony, however, gets back up seconds after.
"This guy is tough," said Supergirl.
"My punches aren't doing anything," said Flash.
"Any ideas?" asked Supergirl.
"I have one," said Flash. "But I need a distraction."
All of a sudden, an arrow comes out of nowhere. The arrow started releasing smoke, blinding Tony.
Supergirl says, "I guess that's your cue. What's your plan?"
"Take my hand and spin as fast as you can," said Flash. "When the time is right, throw me at him."
Supergirl holds Flash's hand. Flash started running in circle as Supergirl spins as fast as she can. Everyone watched in awe, eager to know what happens next. Electricity started surging from the Flash's body due to high speed. Flash runs faster as Supergirl spins faster.
Tony comes out of the smokescreen just in time The Hood descended from the ceiling. He fires another arrow at Tony, unleashing another smokescreen. Supergirl throws Flash at Tony. By the time Tony came out of the open, he gets a supersonic punch to the face, courtesy of The Flash, and gets knocked down.
Flash stays down on the ground because his hand hurts. Tony transforms back to human form. Before he can make a move, Iris punches him hard in the face, knocking him out.
"Nice cross," said Flash.
"Thanks," replied Iris, holding her injured hand. "I think I broke my hand."
"Me too," said Flash.
The students started to cheer again. The cheering stopped when The Hood takes out an arrow and aims it at Tony's heart. The Flash gets in front of him before he could fire.
"Hey! No need for that. He's down. He's no longer a threat," said Flash.
"How do you propose the SCPD to keep him locked up?" argued The Hood.
"I'll take care of it," said Flash. "Just let him live. Some of the people in this city, such as myself, actually see you as a hero. Prove them right."
After ten seconds of thinking, The Hood puts down the bow.
"I'm not done here," said The Hood. He looks at the students and said, "Listen up! I know some of you here possess a drug called Vertigo! Hand it over or I contact the police! Don't make me ask twice!"
"Vertigo? Are you saying someone snuck that stuff in here?" asked Tommy.
"They're little green pills, right?" asked Flash.
"Yes," answered The Hood.
Flash started running around the crowd, swiping packs of Vertigo from every student who has it. He placed them on the floor in the middle of the room.
"That's a lot of drugs," said Supergirl.
"Twenty-six bags full of Vertigo actually," said Flash.
"What the hell, man?!" yelled one student.
"It's for your own good!" yelled The Hood. "Count Vertigo is already behind bars. It's best that his merchandise goes down with him." He looks at The Flash and says, "Get these to the SCPD."
"No problem," replied Flash. "But first, I need a duffel bag or something. Can't carry all these at once."
The Hood takes out an arrow and activates it, releasing a net. The Flash uses the net to carry all the drugs.
"Hey, thanks for the help," said Flash to The Hood.
"I only came here for the Vertigo," said The Hood. "You two could've handled this without me."
"Enjoy the party," said Flash to the students. He looks at Supergirl, "Hey, nice throw."
"Nice punch," replied Supergirl with a smile.
"Is this gonna be a thing now? Teaming up?" asked Flash.
"Well, we certainly work better together," said Supergirl.
Noticing the crowd oohing more, Supergirl decided to give them what they want. She leans in and gives Flash a kiss on the cheek, causing the crowd to ooh louder. Flash blushed as his smile grew wider. Supergirl smiled as well.
"Well, see you later, Girl of Steel," said Flash.
"See you later, Scarlet Speedster," said Supergirl.
Flash runs out the party and heads to the SCPD. Supergirl flies through the hole in the ceiling she created. The Hood used a grappling hook arrow to climb up to the hole.
Iris immediately runs towards the haunted house. Barry walks out, holding his "aching" head.
"Are you okay?" asked Iris.
"Fine," said Barry. "What did I miss?"
"The Flash, The Hood, and Supergirl were here. They took down Tony," said Iris. "Well, with my help."
"Does that explain why you're holding your right hand like that?" asked Barry, noticing that Iris is holding one of her hands like it hurts.
It was closing to 11:30, which meant it was time for Leslie Willis to perform. Dressed like a rock star, Leslie walks up on stage and grabs the microphone. The band started playing and Leslie started singing her song. However, halfway through the song, lightning comes through the hole in the ceiling and hits the stage, electrocuting everyone who was standing on it. The band members manage to get themselves off the stage, but Leslie Willis could barely move.
Fortunately, Supergirl showed up. She grabbed Leslie, but another bolt of lightning come in through the hole and electrocutes Supergirl. Since she was holding Leslie's arm, the electricity from the lightning spread to the teenager. Supergirl throws Leslie off the stage to keep her away from the lightning. The crowd manages to catch her.
Everyone was shocked when they saw what happened to Leslie. She was unconscious, but for some reason, her hair turned completely white. Supergirl looks at Leslie and gasps.
You know what happened to Leslie? I'm sure you do. I hope this was a good chapter.
