It was three weeks later.
Alicia found herself at the lab with Barry, the both of them just sitting in the cortex with Iris.
Shortly after Grodd's attack, Iris found herself spending a lot more time at S.T.A.R Labs, as it kept her distracted and gave her a quiet place to finish her articles for the CCPN. Barry, Alicia and Dick found themselves telling Iris everything: how Alicia and Barry got their powers, how Dick soon enough joined the crusade. They also found themselves giving Iris tours of the lab. Dick also got into explanation of his past: how his mother and father had been murdered in front of him, how he was sent to the Wayne Orphanage in Gotham, how his adoptive father, Bruce Wayne, took him in, and made him his sidekick, and how when Dick was twenty, moved to Bludhaven to be a police officer and be a vigilante, and fight the corrupt police department out there, until he decided to get away from it and move to Central City. Barry also told Iris about Carol and Hal, how Hal and Carol became the Star Sapphire and the Green Lantern in Coast City. They also told Iris about Oliver being the Arrow. They also all agreed to make Iris part of the team, as they needed someone on the inside of CCPN to be an informative and know where they could find metahuman criminals. Iris was just happy to be included, but at the same time, she was desperate to get Eddie back. Alicia, Barry and Dick found themselves around the clock endlessly, searching for Eddie.
As Alicia sipped her iced matcha with coconut milk, Cisco came into the cortex with Wells' wheelchair. Caitlin and Dick were running Eddie through facial recognition.
"Hey, guys, I kept asking myself; why would Wells need a wheelchair?" Cisco asked as Joe walked in.
"Sympathy, I suppose," said Alicia with a shrug.
"Yes, but he's much smarter than that. He's the man in yellow; sympathy can't be the only reason," Cisco said.
"Because the last person we'd expect to be the Reverse Flash is a man in a wheelchair," said Iris.
That's why I found myself toying around with the chair itself." Cisco popped off one of the wheels on the chair, to reveal clock-like gears inside, looking futuristic.
"Damn, you can't buy that at Radio Shack!" Dick said.
"It looks like the tech inside Gideon," Barry said.
"I think that Wells was using it as some sort of battery, like he was charging himself with it to make it go faster, that's why he's so much faster than you," Cisco said.
"That explains why he said he needed more speed," said Alicia.
Suddenly, that was when the computers started to beep wildly.
"What's that?" asked Joe.
"The accelerator it's been reactivated," said Caitlin.
"But why would he want to turn the accelerator back on why would Wells do that?" asked Joe.
"Because he's here," said Barry. "He's been hiding in S.T.A.R Labs the whole time! He's been rebuilding it for these past few weeks!"
"Okay, we need to head down there," Alicia said, grabbing her gun and heading down to the pipeline with Cisco, Barry, Joe and Dick. Dick grabbed his grappling hook that he used to get on top of rooftops. Cisco grabbed his orange soda that he was drinking as well.
"Cisco, why are you holding that soda?" asked Dick.
"Every time something happens with the Reverse Flash, liquid floats through the air: Wells' Champaign, Barry's fish tank, Lance's coffee," Cisco said.
"Okay, let's open this baby up," whispered Alicia, pressing her hand on the scanner. They opened up the pipeline, but, as soon as they opened it, the orange soda Cisco was drinking started to float.
"Oh my God!" Alicia gasped out. "He's coming!" Suddenly, a blur of yellow zoomed past them, and Barry chased after Wells. "BARRY!" Alicia screamed.
Suddenly, that was when they heard that a prisoner was being released. It was Peek-a-boo.
"Oh dear God, no!" Dick gasped as Shawna Baez escaped from her cell. She threw them all into the pipeline and locking them in the accelerator chamber. Alicia caught herself in flight as Dick used his grappling hook to pull himself up. Alicia yanked hard on the accelerator doors and ran after Peek-a-boo. She saw Shawna had Cait and Iris corner. Instantly, Alicia three a punch in Peek-a-boo's way, knocking the meta out.
"That was close!" Caitlin said. "Way too close!"
"Yeah, tell me about it," Iris said. Alicia leaned forward and grabbed Peek-a-boo to throw her back into her containment cell. Once the woman was locked up, she leaned forward, hands on her knees.
"How did she get out of there?" asked Iris.
"Wells let her out so that we would further chase our tails," Dick said bitterly.
Suddenly, Alicia heard a faint noise of "Help!"
It was Eddie.
"Eddie's down there," Alicia whispered in realization. "Dick let's go!"
Dick nodded and followed Alicia down to a hatch in the pipeline, climbing down. When they got there, they saw Eddie tied down to a chair, his shirt undone, and his hair glazed with sweat. He was drawn and pale and looked like he was about to be sick.
"Oh Jesus Christ," Alicia whispered, going over to her co-worker. "Eddie."
"Oh God," Dick whispered, helping Alicia untie Eddie's wrists, which were red and swollen.
"You're okay, you're gonna be okay," Alicia whispered. "Dick, I've got him, just start climbing up the hatch."
Dick nodded and left Alicia to help Eddie rise shakily to his feet. Finally, after weeks of searching everywhere, they finally found him. Alicia felt relief, but she also felt enraged towards the Reverse Flash. As she and Eddie went up the hatch together out of the pipeline, Alicia started to worry more. What was Wells planning? As soon as Iris saw Eddie, she burst into tears and latched herself onto him, getting him into the cortex.
"Your vitals are normal, but you're just a little dehydrated," said Caitlin once they got Eddie on a bed in the med bay. "The IV I gave you should help with that, but just drink some fluids and stay off your feet."
"Thanks, Caitlin," said Eddie, just as Barry ran back into the room.
"Wells was too fast! He's always too fast!" Barry panted out, feeling frustrated. Every time he got close to catching Reverse Flash, he lost. "Eddie," he said in realization.
"We found him in that hatch under the pipeline," said Dick.
"Eddie I'm so sorry I thought I'd looked everywhere for you," Barry apologized.
"Hey, it's okay," Eddie forgave. "Sometimes you just can't see the clues, even if they're right in front of you."
"I'm just glad that we are all safe and back together now," Iris said.
"Eddie, why'd he take you?" asked Alicia.
"I don't know," said Eddie; Iris tightened her grip on his hand. "He said we were. . . family. He said his name is Eobard Thawne."
"Just like in Cisco's dream," whispered Dick.
"Did he say anything else?" Barry asked hopefully. "What's he planning?"
"He didn't say much," said Eddie. "He just spent some time working on some kind of tube."
"What did it look like?" asked Joe.
"It looked metallic; futuristic; he said that it was the key to getting back everything that was taken from him," said Eddie.
Suddenly, that was when a wild beeping came up on the computers, and Cisco ran crying out, "No, no, no, no!"
"What now?" asked Caitlin. That was when Cisco called Barry on Facetime, and they all gathered around. Cisco was showing them the tube.
"Eddie, is that the tube you were talking about?" Cisco asked.
"Yes," Eddie said.
"Yeah, that's what's charging up the accelerator. It's some kind of future power source," said Cisco.
"Well can you shut it down?" asked Iris.
"Do you see a power button on this thing anywhere?" asked Cisco sarcastically. "Dude, this thing is from the future! It's beyond me! If I press, touch, or cut the wrong thing, I can bring the whole building down!"
"Okay, well how long till it's fully functional?" asked Alicia.
"Best I can tell, thirty-six hours," Cisco said.
"That's when Wells will be back," Barry said.
"But why would he want the particle accelerator to work again?" asked Joe.
"It's not like it worked so well the first time it just blew up," whispered Eddie.
"It made me the Flash and Alicia the Angel," Barry said.
"That's not all it did!" Caitlin said in realization. "Oh, God!"
"The metas," whispered Alicia in realization.
"So what happens if the metahumans are still in their containment cells when the particle accelerator turns on?" asked Iris.
"They're toast," said Alicia bluntly, feeling terrible about this. These metas, despite having done horrible things, didn't deserve the death penalty at all.
"We put them down there, and now their lives are in danger because of us," Caitlin said.
"Look, I was never a fan of this whole arrangement," said Joe. "I thought the plan was we rehabilitated them and set them free."
"It was, but, we've been a little busy," Caitlin said as Cisco walked into the room.
"Well, if they stay in there, they die, and if we let them loose, they destroy the city," Cisco said.
"That means we're gonna have to move them," Barry said.
"Move them where? Iron Heights cannot handle metahumans," said Eddie.
"We know, but Lian Yu can," Alicia said.
"What the hell is a Lian Yu?" Joe asked.
"Lian Yu is the island where Oliver was stranded for five years," Alicia explained. "It's where we sent Digger Harkness; A.R.G.U.S built a high-grade military prison on it. The important thing is, on that island they won't be able escape, and more importantly they won't be able to hurt anyone."
"So we are going to ship them from one illegal black sight to another?" asked Iris.
"Yes," Barry said. "It's the safest option. I can call Oliver and Alicia can call her sister to see if they can help with transporting them. And Cisco, if we do this, nobody can get loose."
"I think I can arrange something," Cisco said.
"Okay, well, how are we going to be able to bustle them through downtown without anyone taking notice?" asked Joe.
"Oh, they will notice. That's where you and Alicia come in," Barry said.
"Wait, if that means talking to my godmother, I can tell you right now, Cecile isn't going to be thrilled. But that doesn't mean I won't try reaching my sister," Alicia said.
The next morning, Alicia and Barry found themselves walking into the precinct with Dick; however, when they walked over to Joe, Joe didn't look pleased.
"Okay, A.R.G.U.S is sending us a plane to take the metahumans to Lian Yu," said Barry.
"So Oliver pulled through?" Joe asked.
"No, he's in Nanda Parbat," Dick said. "But, we've spoken to Diggle's wife, Lyla; she's going to hook us up."
"Massie cannot make it either; it's a school night; she's got finals," said Alicia with a shake of her head. "Plus, she's got gymnastics competition too."
"So did Cecile pull through for us?" asked Barry.
"No," Joe said. "She's right though; it's illegal, I could lose my job, I could go to jail, we could go to jail."
"Joe we have to," Barry said.
"Why? Is this going to make us any different than those metahuman criminals?" Joe asked.
"We are way different! We only break the rules to help people!" Alicia pointed out. "However, Barry, we have no exhausted two other avenues. Call Ronnie and Stein, call Hal and Carol! Dick, call your foster dad!"
"I can try, but I doubt Bruce will be able to make it," Dick said. "I can try though. I will try and see if I can reach Bruce."
"I will try Hal and Carol," Barry said, going off to make the phone call to Hal. He went into an empty room, and called Hal via Facetime.
"Hi, Barry," Hal said. "What's going on?"
"Hal, I need your and Carol's help with something important. The particle accelerator has been turned back on and once it's fully functional, if some of my criminals are still in that pipeline, they're all toast. We're transferring them to Oliver Queen's private prison, but we don't have the support of the CCPD for transport. Oliver? He's in Nanda Parbat, wherever that is, I do not know," Barry said. "Can you and Carol help us with transfer?"
"Barry, I'm sorry," said Hal. "But Carol and I, we've got a lot on our plate right now. There's a threat that was made by Sinestro. With us, if it's not one thing, it's another thing right now. Again, I'm really sorry."
"Hal, it's okay," Barry said. "I just-I need all the help that I can get right now."
"Barry, if Carol and I weren't busy right now with all this shit going on, trust me, I will teleport there in a heartbeat, man," Hal said. "Besides, even though I am unavailable, I'm always here for you."
"Thank you," Barry said. Barry hung up with Hal and called Stein, but, Stein and Ronnie were both unavailable still. The next thing Barry knew, he was going to Dick. "Hey, Dick, can your foster dad help with the transfer?"
"If he were to get here, it would take him a few days at least," Dick said. "And he says he's busy, but he won't say with what, which for him is pretty typical."
"At least you tried, Dick," Barry said. "I'll try another way. And I don't think you and Alicia are going to like it at all."
"I know what you're thinking Barry, but it's bat-shit crazy!" Dick said.
Leonard Snart sat at the bar at Saints and Sinners, drinking and having dinner. "Give me another one, ice cold," he said to the waitress. Ever since finding out about the Flash, Angel and Nightwing's identities, he'd kept his mouth shut about it. Speaking of the trio, he found himself faced with a wonderful surprise. Dick Grayson, Barry Allen and Alicia Galloway were walking into the bar. Snart sent Alicia a wink; Alicia rolled her eyes.
"Well, nice to see the three of you," said Snart.
"We need to talk," Barry said simply. As much as he hated this, he knew that it was what he had to do. He tried Oliver, he tried Hal and Carol, he tried Ronnie and Professor Stein, Alicia tried Massie, and Dick tried Bruce Wayne, Batman; nobody they called could help at all.
"You want anything? Beer? Food? Pickled eggs here are fantastic," Snart drawled.
"No, no thank you, we're good," said Barry.
"What about you, Ms. Galloway? I heard you love Cabernet and whiskey," said Snart.
"We're on business, not a date," Alicia said calmly.
"We need your help with a problem," Dick said, feeling the reluctance. He hated the idea of getting on his hands and knees, and start begging for Snart's help, because his adoptive father always told him not to trust the enemy. But at this rate, he'd do anything, even if this did compromise his values.
"Must be a pretty big problem if you're asking for my assistance," Snart said. "What do you need?" He was intrigued that these three were coming to him of all people.
"Help transporting people out of the city," Dick said.
"How many?" Snart asked.
"Five," said Alicia.
"Five very bad, angry people with powers," said Barry.
"Powers. . . hmm?" Snart asked around a hum. "So what do you want me to do? Freeze the problem? Protect you if anything goes wrong? First rule of business, always protect yourself. You should know that Dick. You were trained in that. I'm not going to help you transport your enemies out of town."
"Hey, they're your enemies too," Barry pointed out.
"I doubt it," Snart said coolly.
"They will destroy the city," pointed out Alicia.
"It's not my problem," Snart said.
"You said you love it here; that the city is your home," said Barry.
"I did," Snart said coolly.
"Well, if these metas destroy it, there won't be a city to love anymore," Dick said.
"That's a compelling argument," Snart considered. "But, if I'm gonna help you out, I'll need something in return."
"Like what?" Alicia asked behind a clenched jaw.
Snart wrote something down on a piece of paper and passed it to them. Barry and Dick barked out laughter.
"No this is impossible we can't do that," Dick said.
"Then I can't help you," Snart replied.
"There has to be something else that you want; anything else that we can get you," said Alicia.
"I'll think about it," Snart said.
"Are you out of your minds?" Joe nearly yelled at the three. "What do you kids mean you talked to Leonard Snart?"
"We asked him for his help," said Barry.
"Barry, Dick; Alicia, how could the three of you do something so stupid?" Joe asked.
"Look, Joe, I've tried Ollie, I've tried Hal and Carol, I've tried Ronnie and Stein, Alicia's tried Massie, and Dick's tried his adoptive father!" Barry said. "The particle accelerator goes live in sixteen hours! I will not let the metas die, and we cannot let them escape either! So like it or not, Snart and his cold gun is the only way if Cisco's transport does not hold!"
"Then lucky for you, I figured out what it is that you can get me," Snart said in his cool, relaxed tone. "Hello, Detective, nice to see you again, Cisco; Caitlin. I thought about your proposal. You want me to help; this is what I want." Snart paused. "My fingerprints, dental records, DNA, criminal records, family tree, everything in this world concerning Leonard Snart, I want it erased, gone."
"The brass on this dude," said Joe around a laugh. "You really think we'd do that for you?"
"I'll do it. If it's the only way, fine," Barry said. Dick looked at Barry like he was crazy, shaking his head.
"Please tell me this is a joke," Caitlin said a few hours later when Barry returned with Snart and his sister, Lisa. Barry, Alicia and Dick were dressed in their respective suits.
"Unfortunately, sorry, Cait," said Dick.
"Oh, you're right, Lenny, she is really uptight," said Lisa around a soft purr.
"I am not uptight!" Caitlin said tightly. "You cannot call me uptight!"
"Look, we're going to need their help if we are going to pull this off," Barry said.
"Why are you wearing your masks?" asked Iris, who was at the lab with Eddie. "Snart already knows who you three are."
"And I promised I wouldn't tell anyone that includes my sister," Snart said.
"Jerk," Lisa said snippily.
"Trainwreck," said Snart in return. "Don't look so surprised, detectives; I am a man of my word."
"You better be," Eddie said calmly, winding his arm around Iris. "Or else I'll make sure you're on that damn plane too."
A good couple hours later, Cisco revealed to them that he had a truck that they could use for transporting the metahumans across the city to the shutdown location of Ferris Aircraft. The truck was perfect to create a portable metahuman prison that could get the metas to the airport safely. When they walked outside, Dick was impressed.
"This is great, where did you get the truck?" asked Barry.
"My uncle owns it," Cisco said. "His company hauls frozen food across country. Okay, I retrofitted the cooling system with the wheelchair's power source to create an energy dampener. Well technically, we need somebody with a Class A commercial driver's license to drive this."
"I can drive it," Lisa purred out.
"You can?" asked Eddie.
"We can't all be doctors," Lisa replied.
"Alright, we've gotta get going. The plane is going to be here in two hours. Cait, get them ready," said Alicia.
They got to work immediately.
Alicia flew above the truck as Barry ran, creating detours for the truck to go. Dick followed close behind on his motorcycle, while Eddie, Iris, Caitlin and Joe were in Joe's cruiser.
"How's the cargo holding Cisco?" asked Dick.
"So far so good," Cisco replied. It was all good silence until Lisa started to try flirting with Cisco. Alicia groaned loudly.
"So, when do I get a code name?" asked Lisa flirtatiously towards Cisco, batting her long eye lashes. "I heard you came up with Captain Cold. What do you think I should be called?"
"Female inmate?" Cisco suggested.
"Oh come on," Lisa purred. "You made my gun the least you could do is give me a cool name."
"Golden Glider," Cisco replied stiffly.
"Can you two stop?" Dick groaned. "Just shut up!" They arrived at the airport, and they all got out of the cars.
"Ferris Air?" asked Snart. "I thought that this place closed?"
"It did. One of their test pilots disappeared; he was a friend," Iris said.
"So what's the plan? I want to get this over with," said Snart.
"The plane should be here any minute," Barry said.
"You're A.R.G.U.S friends aren't very prompt," Snart said, not amused. "Maybe that's why they weren't able to catch me."
"Okay, there it is," said Dick. "It's here." He saw the plane coming. However, that was when they heard Cisco over the comms.
"Oh no, no, no," Cisco whispered.
"What's wrong?" Caitlin asked.
"The containment system's failing in the truck!" Cisco cried out.
"Oh, Green Lantern when I can use you," Barry said out loud.
"Someone called me?" a voice asked. The voice belonged to Hal.
Alicia turned to look at Hal and Carol. "We thought you two were busy with a crisis of your own!" she said around a smile.
"It was a false alarm," Carol said.
"GL, try and secure the truck!" Barry called out.
That was when the thunder clouds formed.
"Mardon," Alicia growled angrily.
Hal instantly formed a giant green shield of energy around the truck just as the metas filed out.
"Mardon, that's enough!" Barry called out. However, that was when Mardon got the storm cloud to cast down a bolt of lightning that struck Hal.
"GL!" Carol yelled, rushing towards her boyfriend. She knelt next to him, checking his pulse as the other metas left the truck.
"Time for your last breath!" shouted Nimbus. He formed himself into his gas form. However, Barry proceeded to rotate his arms at super speed, getting Nimbus back into his human form. However, what was the real trouble was Deathbolt, their newest prisoner, courtesy of Ollie and Ray, started to fire his red laser eyes at all of them. Additionally, Shawna was teleporting everywhere, and Rainbow Raider aimed his red, glaring eyes at Caitlin, who proceeded to beat the living crap out of Cisco, screaming at him for locking Ronnie in the pipeline. Dick tackled Caitlin down to the ground, holding her in place as tightly as he could. Alicia went over to Deathbolt and grabbed him by the arm, flying high in the air and swinging him around in the air, before punching him in the stomach and throwing him down to the ground. Hal formed a giant green hand and caught Deathbolt before he got seriously hurt. Carol formed a shield of purple around herself to protect herself from Shawna, before forming a bubble of energy around Shawna, holding her there.
"That's enough, Baez!" Carol yelled. "You're not teleporting out of that any time soon!" However, Mardon formed another bolt of lightning, throwing it at Barry and Alicia. Carol punched Shawna out, before landing down beside Hal. When they saw Snart talking to the metas, Hal felt anger rising in him. That little piece of slime; Barry should not have trusted Snart. But what irked him the most was when Snart knelt down at face level to Barry and Alicia, hitting them both at absolute zero with his cold gun.
"Snart I swear to G-God I-I'm gonna k-kill you!" Alicia said behind chattering teeth, intense pain throughout her body.
"Y-You had Lisa-Lisa mess with-with th-the containment s-s-system, didn't y-you?" Barry said shakily.
"You're acting surprised," said Snart.
"We-We h-had a deal!" Alicia gasped.
"Well, don't you remember? I'm a criminal, and a liar, and I hurt people," Snart replied back coldly. "The only people you are mad at are yourselves."
"Argh!" Alicia moaned painfully as Snart and Lisa got on his motorcycle.
"Oh, Barry," whispered Iris. "Alicia," she added, kneeling beside them with Carol and Hal rushing forward, along with Cisco. Hal placed his hand on Barry's shoulder, rolling him onto his back.
"Are you all right?" Carol asked Barry in concern as she heard Lisa Snart saying bye to Cisco in a flirtatious manner.
Barry clenched his jaw in pain as Hal grabbed his hand, helping him to his feet. "Can you walk?" Hal asked Barry in concern as his friend hissed in agony.
It was an hour later that Barry and Alicia found themselves lying in the med bay, heated blankets over their bodies. Barry poked at the frostbite that was on his abdomen.
"It's still numb!" he gasped out.
"You need to stop poking at it," Dick said as he entered the med bay with Hal, Iris and Carol.
"You try being hit by lightning, and then, frost bitten with absolute zero!" Alicia groaned, pushing her head back against the pillows. "God, remind me to never work with Leonard Snart again!"
"You two thought that you could use him the way Oliver uses people to get info, regardless of what it could mean," said Dick. "I never did that in my life, not ever. And if my adoptive dad were here right now, he'd be telling me, 'Dick, what the fuck were you thinking, kid? What the fuck were you thinking?'"
Iris went over to Alicia to examine the frostbite. "At least that's healing," she said.
"Good," Alicia groaned.
"We just-we see the way Oliver does things and thought we could do the same," Barry said.
"You two are not Oliver," Hal said. "Believe me, I know Ollie; he is one stubborn son of a bitch. He reminds me of you, but you two, what makes you different; you two have a light in you that Ollie never had. That's the kind of hero the two of you are. Believe me I know. Carol and I knew you and Iris, Barry, since we were seven years old. I've watched you go through hell, and you still manage to be an optimist."
Alicia let out a sigh. She knew that Hal was right. "You're right," she said. She looked down and saw she was completely healed. "Okay, I'm good." She reached for her blade and sliced her hand open, allowing the blood to flow on Barry's frostbite.
Joe then came into the room.
"How's Caitlin?" asked Alicia.
"She's back to normal, mostly embarrassed," Joe said. However, that was when they heard alarms on the computers.
"The particle accelerator is officially back online and fully functional," said Barry, sitting up.
"Which means the devil is here," Alicia snarled. "Let's get the stupid son of a bitch."
"You two aren't going out there alone," Dick said.
"That's when you, Hal and Carol come in, trust me," Barry said.
Carol and Hal both nodded, and the two went over to their power batteries. Hal whispered the Green Lantern oath under his breath.
"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evil's might, beware of my power, Green Lantern's light." They both put their respective suits on as Barry and Alicia got changed, going outside to meet with Wells himself. Dick pulled on his Nightwing suit and grabbed all of his gear he would need. Barry and Alicia stood out there in front of the S.T.A.R Labs entrance, knowing Joe, Iris, Eddie, Cait and Cisco were listening.
"Well, I heard your prison transfer didn't go as planned," Eobard said tauntingly.
"All part of your plan I'm assuming," said Barry. He wasn't evening bothering with his mask yet. He had more friends coming, really soon.
"Actually, that didn't factor into my plan at all," Eobard said. "But I'm impressed that you both went to such great lengths to get your prisoners out of harm's way. Ever the hero, huh?"
"You've hurt enough people!" Alicia snarled.
"You're not going to hurt anyone else!" Barry added.
"I know, you see me as the villain, but, if you two look back, carefully, at everything I have done, every wheel I've set in motion, you would realize I've only done what I had to do," said Eobard.
"And the particle accelerator? How does that fit into your grand plan?" Barry asked.
"Well, why don't you both go inside, and I'll explain?" Eobard taunted.
"You know we just learned the hard way not to trust the bad guy," Alicia said.
"And yet, I've shown you. . . time and time again, you cannot beat me," Eobard replied. That was when Carol and Hal arrived in their Star Sapphire and Green Lantern suits, along with Firestorm. "Oh, you've brought yourself friends."
"We've got more than friends; we've got family," Barry replied as Dick came outside. Suddenly, that was when Bruce Wayne, as Batman, came in on his glider, swinging down from the rooftop. Oliver Queen then came down as well.
"Ahh, it's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Queen. And it's the pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jordan, Ms. Ferris, and Mr. Wayne," Eobard said.
"I hope we're not too late," Bruce said in his low growl.
"You're just in time, Bruce," Dick said with a smile.
"I don't care how fast you are!" Barry said. "You cannot fight all eight of us at the same time!"
"Oh, believe me, this is gonna be fun!" Eobard said. They all got themselves into position. Bruce and Dick got their batterangs at the ready, Firestorm charged himself up, Alicia jumped into her flying position, Hal and Carol charged themselves up, and Oliver got his bow at the ready. Eobard then jumped into his suit that he had stored away into a little ring, and it was on.
Barry and Alicia both went at Eobard, and Barry proceeded to chase Reverse Flash as Alicia flew circles around him.
"Barry, Alicia, move!" Oliver called out, aiming his arrow at Eobard. Reverse Flash threw Barry and Alicia against a wired sign as Hal formed a giant green hand to grab Reverse Flash, holding him in place as Carol hit him with a blast of purple energy. However, Hal wasn't expecting Eobard to phase his way out of the green hand, and he threw himself at Hal and Carol and Firestorm. Hal and Carol blocked him, but Firestorm wasn't so lucky as he was thrown across the city. Alicia flew after him to catch him. Instantly, Dick and Bruce threw their batterangs at Reverse Flash, before using their grappling hooks to grab Eobard. Oliver shot Reverse Flash with an arrow.
"Nanites, courtesy of Ray Palmer," Ollie growled out. "They're delivery a high-frequency pulse that's disabling your speed. You won't be running around for quite a while!"
Eobard yanked the arrow out of his leg and proceeded to fight Ollie and Bruce and Dick all at the same time. Dick grabbed Eobard by the arm and threw him across the property. He hit him with another batterang. However, Dick was thrown off when he and Bruce were thrown against a wall along with Barry, and Eobard was on top of Ollie.
"The history books say you live to be eighty-six years old, Mr. Queen," growled Thawne. "I guess the history books are wrong!" He was about to phase a hand through Ollie's chest, but Barry came in and tackled him, landing solid hits to Eobard's chest and head.
Firestorm came back in once Eobard was back on his feet, hitting him with a blast of energy. Alicia decked Thawne in the face. Hal formed a giant green hammer and slammed it against Reverse Flash. Carol punched Eobard hard in the face. She lifted him off the ground by hitting him with a blast of purple, and he fell on a car hood, allowing Oliver to hit him with a tranquilizer. He was down and done.
Finally.
"Thanks, fellas," Barry said with a grin. He smiled at Carol and Alicia. "And my two favorite girls, next to Iris and Cait."
"No problem," Firestorm said.
Barry turned to Oliver. "Nice haircut, and I see we've abandoned our traditional green," he said.
"Trying something different," Oliver said. "Look, I might need a favor from you."
"Wherever, whenever," Barry said with a smile.
Bruce shared a look with Dick. "Good luck; tell me how it goes, Dick," he said.
Dick nodded at his adoptive dad as Bruce swung away on his grappling hook. Firestorm patted Barry on the shoulder and rushed off as Oliver left. Hal massaged Barry's shoulders and he and Carol went back into S.T.A.R Labs.
"We've finally got you, you stupid son of a bitch," whispered Dick.
A/N:
Okay, so, I included Hal and Carol in this chapter, as promised, but I included Bruce Wayne in there too, because it felt appropriate due to Dick being a character in this fanfic. Next chapter will be the last chapter in this fanfic! I will start writing soon for the sequel; I will try to get it up around Thanksgiving, since I will pre-write a lot of chapters.
Flashraven: as usual, thank you for the support on the story as a whole. I actually dropped a little Easter egg in here with the name of Alicia's aunt, her mother's sister. I think you will find in the sequel that that will be important to keep in mind. One more chapter left and this will be a wrap!
