Winter had arrived in Central City and the two speedsters were busy in the lab as always. Cisco had managed to make the modification to the armor fabric he had thought about earlier to work with almost of types of power. Mercury managed to make the power cells lighter and smaller, but the production costs were still very high, with one caveat. Tina managed to make them rechargeable from any sort of power source. The main problem with them was that if they had been struck with anything concussive or even a bullet, the way the containment field was designed meant that any damage would buckle it and the power cell itself could turn into a very powerful explosive device that by what Tina had calculated could easily take a city block off the map if not more. While not as dangerous as a nuke which would leave radiation all over the place, it was still a risk.
They still wanted to distribute them to the police and firefighting units, but for that it would mean that the cell would have to be on the inside of the fabric and hope that any sort of direct shock would not affect it. The engineer and our two speedsters started tests in the lab on their own so they could assess the damage if someone actually did that. The results were pretty satisfying. Even hitting the outer layer with a few bullets while the cell had power didn't result in an explosion. They did manage to drain out a cell which took at least 50 shots straight at it and after that happened one shot managed to crack the cell, but without power nothing happened. They were ready for use. Barry and Caitlin decided to go talk to Singh about it. They walked in as usual in the CCPD with people greeting them along the way.
"Good Morning, David" Barry greeted as they went into his office and closed the door.
"Barry, Caitlin. Fancy meeting you here" he smiled at the couple.
"We have managed to perfect something that will help the police force. It took a while but we have everything down now" Caitlin smiled.
"So? Don't keep me in suspense, what is it?" he asked with a surprised face. Barry took out a piece of fabric from a bag he had with him. At the end Singh could see that it had attached a power cell.
"Mind if I borrow your gun? Also you might want to tell the others that there will be shots fired so they don't panic" Caitlin replied and Singh went out and told the detectives just that. Barry put the fabric on the sofa and his wife got the gun.
"This is a new type of body armor we developed at STAR" She spoke and emptied the clip in the sofa above the piece of fabric. Singh expected her to kill the piece of furniture only to be pleasantly surprised when all the bullets that were fired were on the piece of fabric and the sofa had no damage whatsoever. She took off the power cell and the bullets and gave the material to Singh to look at. He was visibly impressed, the fabric had no tears, no holes and it was soft to the touch and quite lightweight "As you can see the material is light but the stopping power is enough to protect any police officer of injuries as long as it's worn under the clothes"
"How does this work, I assume the material itself doesn't have all those properties." Singh asked.
"No, that is a Nano fiber material that has as part of the design nanites that were developed by Ray Palmer. In its unpowered state it's just a piece of cloth. With power attached however, the nanites are active and they harden the material locally to be able to withstand bullets. Of course that takes power, but the cells that we make are now rechargeable" Barry told the captain.
"So this material as how it is can withstand the punch of those bullets. That is simply amazing. It's so light officers won't even know they have it on. Does it do anything else?" David inquired
"Yes, it can absorb heat and redirect concussive damage instead of absorbing it. Meaning the body sill still get a shock, but it will be distributed over the whole armor instead of just one point which could mean internal damage, but redirection will only happen when the armor is low on power. Because it would be better to use less power for redirection than more for absorption" Caitlin replied.
"We plan to make these available for you and the fire department. Of course you will get the armor variant, more like the body armor you have now. We will have to talk to the fire department, they might require full body suits to protect them entirely from the flames" Barry added.
"I see. So body armor for the police and fireproof suits for the fire fighters. This is really amazing. But I assume they cost a lot as well. Cutting edge technology usually does" Singh told them quite bluntly
"They do, but for now the first batch for everyone in the precinct will be at the normal price of a body armor. We can take the hit once and I hope that the research is sound enough that you might need to replace an unit or two every few years, but not more" Caitlin responded smiling.
"I'll talk to my superiors and see if we can't get anything going over there then. You should talk to the firefighters department as well. This seems like something really useful especially since it's not bulky and can be worn under any sort of clothing. Did you two ever think of making bulletproof clothing out of this type of fabric?" Singh smiled at them
"David, you know how fashion is. This material is practical not beautiful to make clothes out of. We might consider it but I doubt that will come to pass. Let us know what you decide or what the superiors decide. You know where to find us" Barry retorted.
"Thank you. Keep in touch" the captain waved goodbye as they were going out of his office. They went up to the lab to check if there was any sort of evidence to process for anyone, but they seemed to be in luck. Nothing new had arrived which meant they could go back to STAR. Cisco was in the cortex with Bette looking over the data that they received from the usual security reports and research that was going on in the lab.
"How did Singh take it?" the engineer smiled when the two popped back in
"He's excited, most of the officers don't wear body armor all the time because it's heavy and bulky. Now it won't be. We still have to get the production costs down, since its rather expensive, but we suspect he'll like the idea" Barry smiled. As he finished his sentence, his phone rang. It was Felicity
"You guys, we might have a large problem on our hands" she told them
"What happened?" Caitlin voiced as the connected the phone to the internal system so they could all speak and hear what she was saying.
"Prometheus has shown his face. Ollie was out last night in the city. The guy had kidnapped a police officer here. You were right, by what he told me he's the same man which the same description that broke into STAR and freed Black Siren." She replied.
"Great. But why call us? Unless you need help with handling him?" Barry inquired
"Yeah. We managed to take down one of his drones. We could use Cisco's engineering skills. Also we don't know where he's hiding and how he might strike next. He's really into it for the revenge and he might just be a real danger to this city" Felicity voiced her concerns.
"All right. We'll be there as fast as we can" Barry closed the line and they two switched into their suits. "Cisco, Bette, we're taking a trip" The two knew what was coming. They closed their eyes as the speedsters grabbed them raced all the way to Star City coming to a stop in the Arrow Cave, where Felicity was running a trace on some of Prometheus' latest activities. Surprising everyone in the Cave, Caitlin ran straight to the bathroom and puked then came back with a strange look on her face.
"You ok?" Barry asked while Cisco was going over the semi intact drone that the archer had captured earlier.
"I think something I ate didn't agree with me. I should be fine" she smiled.
"That never happened before. Be careful what you eat, Cait" Barry chuckled looking at his wife.
"So as I was saying. The last time this guy wanted something we had bombs all over the city. Now, he abducted a police officer that we were friends with just to spite us. I don't know what his endgame is, but I don't think it's anything good" Felicity replied quite annoyed. Oliver came in and greeted the two. All of a sudden all of the video feeds that were displayed from various TV stations around the city all went black and started playing a message from an unknown source. They all could recognize the face mask
"Hello, Star City. I have a message for you and for the Green Arrow. Meet me tonight at 10 pm at the place we have had out first encounter. Be there or the city will be in serious trouble" The man stepped away and they could see what could only be described as an army of drones and some other machinery behind him "What will it be, the life of the Green Arrow? Or the lives of everyone in Star City. I leave you to decide" As the figure walked off they could see all the drones start to fly and the machinery start to move. They video was turned off and the televisions started to comment on the message.
"Well this is wonderful. Instead of calling me out personally he decided to panic the whole city to force me to come out" Oliver said with a disgusted face.
"Did you see how many of those things he has? I don't think even you two with your speed can handle them all" Felicity said quite scared of what was going to happen
"I know. That's why we're calling in the heavy hitters, or more precisely said, the heaviest hitter" Barry went to a console and connected to the Cortex where he dialed in Kara and put her through to their comms. It didn't take long for her to answer
"Hey you two. How's everything?" the response came with her usual sweet cheery voice.
"We would say well, except not so much. We might need your help and Barry's to take care of something over here. Do you have some time to cross over?" Caitlin asked her.
"We can be there after we're done with work. In about an hour" She responded.
"We're in Star City. The man we're going after seems to have a beef with Oliver. You`ve already been here so when you two cross over come straight here" Barry commented
"All right, we're on the way" Older Barry commented and the line closed.
"There. Now we have backup" Caitlin commented.
"So what do we actually do about this madman? We have no idea who he is, nor why he has a beef with you. We don't know what he can do except that he can apparently steal stuff from STAR and make a lot of machinery" Felicity spoke.
"I don't know if the bombs we handled that time in Central City were designed by him or not but he seems to be very proficient at that as well. These two can tell you that as a bomb tech I didn't have any chance to defuse them without super speed" Bette added.
"Also he seems to be behind the financial attack that was waged a while back against Mercury Labs. The one that you managed to backtrack the money those accounts of two people that were supposed to be dead" Caitlin replied.
"Guys, these drones are more advanced than the one you two managed to capture. They have missiles and high caliber weaponry. Also the power source looks eerily familiar to the Power cell that STAR West has the patent to. This guy is either stealing tech from our systems or someone is giving it to him" Cisco said rather annoyed at his findings.
"We discovered that someone from Mercury, a Benjamin Fields, might be behind the theft of the chips that are in these drones. Now after what Cisco told us he might be behind the power cell issues as well. We should really find that guy and see what else he stole" Barry voiced his concerns.
Felicity and Cisco continued to study the machine that was now in pieces on the slab in the Arrow Cave. Bette started to look around for more clues, she went out of the cave and started to go over the security details of STAR West. Barry asked her to see if she could find some sort of pattern in the things that kept disappearing. Much to their surprise, Thea joined them.
"The Mayor's office is going off the rails after that announcement. They want the Mayor to give a statement, so urge the people not to panic. Ollie you need to come back to City Hall with me right away" she told the archer. "Barry, Caitlin. I assume you came to help with this crazy guy?" she asked.
"Yes. And we're bringing backup. Kara and Barry are on their way from their earth. They should be here soon" Caitlin replied.
"That's awesome. I suspect we should need all the help we can get. Diggle and Lyla are out of town spending the holidays with their kid somewhere undisclosed so that leaves the people here" She replied.
"So, how's life without Ray?" Barry chuckled. "We know he just loves playing Time Cop"
"Ah so you've met their rag tag team of time warriors. What can I say, I miss him, but protecting time is a pretty big deal. I would have gone with them, if a certain brother of mine wouldn't have me do 90% of the work he has to do as mayor so he could be the Green Arrow on the side. Come on, Ollie we need to take care of this and then we can return" She replied rather sternly. Oliver didn't comment and the two walked out of the Arrow Cave.
"Being Mayor and the Green Arrow must suck" Cisco commented
"It does. Back when we had our house warming party he told us that he barely gets enough sleep these days. I hope that you`re making sure he sleeps, Felicity" Barry looked at the blonde.
"I try, but there's not much I can do when he's away most of the time. Day with Mayor stuff, night with Arrow stuff. I knew this is how it was going to be when I married him. I don't mind and whenever I can I make sure he sleeps" She grinned
"I'm sure that's the first thing in your mind, Felicity" Caitlin grinned. A familiar whoosh was heard and Kara and older Barry were in the Cave as well. After the usual round of greetings Older Barry asked quite seriously
"What should we expect from this guy?"
"He seems to have a beef with Oliver, He is an expert at building bombs and apparently mechanical things as well. Drones and other things. He told Oliver to be at some place at 10 tonight or the city pays the price" Felicity said in a short sentence.
"Drones. I swear some things never change doesn't matter which Earth you`re from" Kara almost face palmed.
"What do you mean?" Young Barry asked rather surprised.
"Someone tried to kill a friend of ours with drones too, there were a lot of them we were in luck that my cousin and J`onn were around or else a lot of people would have been hurt" Kara replied with a bit of annoyance.
"I guess that is the new weapon of criminals that don't want to reveal themselves." Older Barry commented
While Oliver was at City hall to give the address to the city, the four decided to get something to eat and some coffees for everyone to keep their energy up. To their surprise Older Barry was gone for a few minutes to go get pot stickers for Kara.
"Does he always do that?" Younger Barry asked surprised.
"Yes, although I don't know if the same thing exists in your universe. He might be really annoyed if he runs all the way to China and doesn't find my favorite food" Kara smiled.
"Just how fast is he anyway? When we monitored him, Cisco said something about being about three times if not more than what we are now" Younger Barry interjected. Older Barry was back with pot stickers for Kara and a more pizzas.
"He can run around the world in 3 minutes and a half is that's some indication" Kara smiled and happily started to munch on her food. The two speedsters were shocked.
"What? I've had enough time to train and hone my speed. I'm going for going around the world in one minute" older Barry smiled
"Never thought I would feel this slow while actually being the fastest man in this universe" younger Barry said with a bit of sneer. Caitlin felt something that she could only classify as envy, coming off him.
"We already knew that we have to continue training and improve our speed and that is what we'll do" She smiled at him and took his hand into his. After they finished eating Oliver and Thea arrived back from City Hall. The archer had already made his address to the people urging for calm and telling them that Green Arrow will be present at the requested meeting so they have nothing to fear about. However that didn't seem to be the case. Cisco was using the STAR satellite to keep an eye on the city. Sooner rather than later they started to see drones that started to infiltrate the city.
"I think the meeting is a ruse. This guy has something else in mind" Kara replied looking at the way the drones were positioned.
"Why do you say that?" young Barry asked.
"Look at their trajectory and the way they are moving. It might appear random but it's not" She commented and older Barry saw what she was talking about.
"You`re right, it seems that the drones are heading straight for STAR West. But why would he try to attack here?"
"We're the ones that manufacture the chips and the power cells that are in those drones" Caitlin pointed at the one that was fragmented on the slab "I'm guessing he wants to get more components for more machines and while the Green Arrow is busy not getting killed he can plunder the STAR West building for all the components he needs"
"He will have a nasty surprise them. Kara, you and your Barry keep an eye on STAR West. My husband and I will go make sure that Oliver is safe at his meeting. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to kill two birds with one stone. Get all he needs for more drones and killing the Green Arrow as well" Caitlin told them.
"Do you expect heavy resistance here?" she asked quite bluntly.
"Yes. In the video that he sent there were some sort of machines that looked more like assault vehicles than anything else. If Caitlin's hunch is right then they will be used to break the perimeter of the building. The lower floors can be reinforced if necessary and if he had any sort of access the he knows that" young Barry replied to the group.
"Felicity, I suggest you start the evacuation procedure and get all the people out of the building then deploy the armor panels around the first three floors" Caitlin told the blonde. After the bundle of incidents that had happened and involved the STAR West building with different people that tried to break in, Felicity had armor panels installed at the first couple of floors between the support columns almost like secondary windows. They could be deployed and closed effectively creating a lockdown and a secondary support structure for the building itself in case of explosions or other kind of attacks. Barry and Caitlin thought that was a very good idea so they had the same installed at STAR in the offices wherever there were windows that were on the outside and at the entrance. In effect STAR Labs could become a fortress at the push of a button.
"Evacuation is already finished. I thought we might have some surprises coming here so I sent the people home 30 minutes ago. The building above us is already empty. Deploying armor panels" she replied and pushed a button. Both archers suited up and were gone. It was nearly time for the meet up. Oliver told them that the first time he had met the madman was in an abandoned bunker that was just outside the city limits and was surrounded by fences and the likes. He didn't think he had to go in to meet the person, but nobody actually thought he would even be there. This was a trap and it smelled like one from a mile away. Kara and her Barry put on their masks and exited the cave, flying on top of a building that was across the road from the lab. It was shorter but it offered them good vantage points to see the drones coming.
As soon as they got to the meeting point they got attacked. Which was nothing surprising considering the circumstances. There were however a lot of drones which kept continually firing at Oliver trying to kill him. Thea was on point, while the emerald archer tried to dodge the bullets sometimes being shielded by Caitlin with her ice walls or just being relocated by Barry with his speed, she was taking down the drones with expert hits to their propulsion system.
"I'm out of explosive arrows" She told the three in the com. In less than a second Caitlin was near her with a bunch more who had just taken from Oliver's quiver "Thanks" she smiled at Frost.
"No problem. Oliver is occupied with keeping his own life" Frost replied grinning and sped away. The drones were solely focused on Ollie, it was like nobody was actually piloting them. They just had an automated firing program that only targeted him. That enabled our speedsters to make quick work of them. Caitlin was having a blast playing hit the target with her ice spears. At one point she just got a bit annoyed that there were so many and stepped aside charging a large freezing rain attack. Barry saw the immense number of icicles that were forming around her.
"Oliver, be prepared to duck. Speedy you should look for cover as well. Frost is going to make it rain" he chuckled as he said that prompting a response from Caitlin in his mind
"Make it rain? Well I guess I could since we have the money, but really? You know you just sounded like Oliver is a stripper right now" she chuckled
"Considering how Felicity looks at him, he might as well be" the Flash replied while keeping an eye on the charge up of her attack.
"I'm done. Get him out of there" Caitlin told her husband who got the archer and brought him and Thea a ways back. Large icicles started to rain down from the sky in a circular shape around the area that they managed to get out of just in time. Frost was near them a moment later while the freezing rain was still going. They could see the drones that tried to move toward them being struck down by the hail of icicles that she had created. The archer had seen this move before, but Thea was shocked with surprise. She was even more shocked when Barry drew up a lightning bolt from his fist and hit Frost with it.
"Um… is that normal?" she asked seeing Frost not even flinch taking a bolt to the chest.
"Yeah. He can help me charge up with lightning. These sort of attacks are very hard to pull off and very energy consuming. Barry already knows why" She smiled at Thea while she was still looking behind her. The Ice rain still continued and only came to a stop a few minutes later. When the two speedsters returned at the scene of the meeting all the drones were down and out, most of them severely damaged. In a moment of inspiration Barry and Caitlin, helped by Thea, gathered all the intact chips and power cells. They grabbed the materials, as Thea and Oliver and raced back to the Arrow cave. Meanwhile, back at the STAR West building, older Barry and Kara had some problems of their own.
"Felicity, there are at least 40 drones that are heading straight toward the building." Kara started to count seeing them from afar with her enhanced vision.
"Drones, yea ... how about those two" older Barry pointed to two large assault vehicles that were moving down the street.
"One thing at a time, I'll take the drones, you see if you can stop those monstrosities" She smiled and flew into the air starting to blast away at the drones while they were quite far from the building. They didn't seem too sturdy, a focused blast of high temperature heat vision was enough to bring them down or outright destroy them. However, concentrating her powers into so many shots to take out the drones were straining Kara, even though she had lost only 15 % of her power since she started, there were always more drones.
Menace on the other hand was doing rather well with the assault craft, he even managed to run around them in a way that made them fire at each other. Sadly they were pretty well armored and the shots only made some dents in the plating and exploded. The damage done was minimal, the shots only resulting in some dented plating, nothing more.
"I can't use the supersonic punch or anything of the sort" he told Kara. "If I do half the windows in this city will shatter, or worse, the sonic boom can leave the people close to here deaf. I need to get there machines somewhere else. I'll try to bait them so they follow me out of the city"
"Be careful and don't get yourself killed. Call if you need for help, I'm here" she replied and he nodded. He started to throw bolts at the assault vehicles while Kara was playing shoot the duck. The drones were moving pretty fast except her vision was instant and had pinpoint accuracy. They had nowhere to run. She was careless allowing some of the drones to come up from behind. The bullets didn't hurt her and before she managed to have a chance to light them up while she turned, she saw four large ice spears that impaled them sending them to the ground. Frost was at the top of the building were her and her Barry had stood before grinning at her.
"Glad you could join the battle. Did everything go all right with at the meeting site?" Kara asked. She was happy that her Barry suddenly got a helper. From her point of view the two Flashes were having fun with the attack vehicles.
"It was a trap. Much like we had expected. There were quite a few drones but I took them out with a freezing rain attack. I would do the same here, but we're in town and casualties are a large probability. Which means we have to take them out one by one. Problem is there no place where I can get a good vantage point to attack them which is kind of annoying" Frost replied. Kara snickered, she went down and grabbed Caitlin flying with her straight up and in striking distance of the rest of the drones.
"How's this for a vantage point?" She grinned. Caitlin had been flying with her before and knew that the best way not to get sick was to not look down. She focused her attacks on the drones
"Way better. Thank you. Now how about we destroy these guys. Maybe then we can go lend a hand to the runners down there" she grinned destroying two more drones with ice spears.
"My sentiments exactly" The reply came and Kara started to blast away at the drones again with her heat vision holding Caitlin steady in the air as she skewered more of them. The two Flashes stepped for a second away from the attack vehicles and looked up.
"Now that is what I call teamwork. No wonder those two are such good friends" young Barry chuckled.
"I never thought it see that in my life. I often wondered how those two would work together in my time. Now apparently I don't have to. They are amazing" older Barry smirked
"That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Now back to our business, how can we take those attack machines out? The drones are almost down, but we still have those two to deal with" young Barry asked
"I suspect you already know how to phase. Did you try phasing a large object before?" the inquiry came from the older one.
"No. How does that work and how is that relevant?" he responded.
"Simple. When you phase an object, if you take your hands off of it while the object is intangible, then the molecules disperse and it gets destroyed. I would take care of them myself, but I'm pretty sure I only have enough energy for one and after that not to black out" Older Barry explained.
"I can try. All I have to do is match the vibrations of the object with my phasing and when the molecules are in a state of flux just let go, right?" the question came.
"Pretty much. So … want to give it a try?" his older version asked with a grin.
"Yeah. Let's do it" the grin appeared on the other one as well. The two flashed toward the attack vehicles and both picked one and started to vibrate. It took a lot out of both of them, but nowhere near dangerous levels. After a few seconds the vehicles became almost intangible at which point both took their hands off them and they simply dissolved into nothingness leaving the street clear of any attackers. Kara had seen this before, Caitlin however did not. As the two landed near the panting Flashes she asked with a surprised voice.
"What did you two do?"
"We vibrated the attackers like we were phasing and then let go. Causing the molecules to lose cohesion and simply poof into nothing" Older Barry smiled.
"That is a pretty neat trick. Flash? I will want you to show me how to do it" Caitlin chimed toward her husband
"Sure, Frost, whenever you want" he replied. The four heroes now quite depleted of energy returned to the Arrow cave where Frost had already deposited the two archers before. Cisco already was waiting for them with a truckload of pizzas and Bette had returned too. Kara had seen her use directed concussive blasts to keep drones from reaching anywhere near the buildings. The speedsters and the alien attacked the food and in a few minutes it was all gone.
"Nice work keeping them off the building, Bette. Didn't know you could produce blasts out of nothing" Kara looked surprised at the security chief.
"It's something I'm still learning to control, but it's a new power that I have been training to use with Cisco. Me this and him with his vibrational blasts" She replied with a happy face. You could see however that she was pretty tired.
"They take a lot out of you, don't they?" Older Barry asked pretty bluntly.
"Yes they do. Initially I could only do it if I had a medium through which to transfer the explosive power, like ground or maybe some sort of conductor, steel, a tree or something related. That is way easier. I have learned however to produce them out of the air as well. It takes a lot more concentration and control, but I can do it as you have seen" Bette said with a proud look on her face.
"Told you she's a bad ass" Cisco smiled at her.
"Very nicely done keeping them away from the building. I wouldn't want to zap half of our monthly budget on repairs. Not like that would be a problem but still" Felicity smiled.
"I thought last Christmas we had broken the usual "nearing Christmas let's burn the city and get a new villain" curse. Apparently that was not so. At least this time Felicity didn't get shot" Oliver grinned.
"Not get shot, yes. That is indeed a plus" Felicity let go of a mini ramble.
"Cisco, can you send us back home? I would rather not have to run back to Central City so that Kara could use her breach generator to take us straight to National City. That phasing trick took quite a lot out of me" older Barry told the engineer. He put on his gauntlets and produced a vortex that would take them straight back to the field outside National City.
"Thank you for the help you two" Caitlin said with a thankful tone.
"No problem, I did say quite a few times that you can call us whenever you need us. As will we if we ever need your help. That's what friends are for" Kara smiled at her. Older Barry was so tired that he only managed to nod while yawning "See you later, I need to take this old man to bed. He's already sleeping" Older Barry wanted to argue, but instead he just smiled. Kara grabbed him and went through the breach which closed behind her.
"So what are you two going to do?" Felicity asked.
"We are going to sleep it off in the suite on the executive level. We've burned a lot of power ourselves. That rain attack takes way more out of me than I want. That's why I don't really use it that much" Caitlin replied and Barry nodded, yawning heavily himself.
"I've already set you up with a room at the hotel since I suppose you two will want to stay as well and leave with them in the morning" Felicity looked at Cisco and Bette
"Thank you. Then we should be going as well. Nice work out there today" Cisco congratulated everyone.
"Let us hope this doesn't become a habit. I would like my holidays free of this sort of bullshit" Oliver said in an annoyed tone. They all said their goodbyes and left to their respective sleeping venues hoping that Star City would not have another terrorist attack until the holidays were over. Barry and Caitlin got into bed and cuddled into one another starting to chat mentally as they usually did before going to bed
"Oliver was right, this is like a curse. I hope that we don't have to do this every year from now on. You know, unknown villain tries to destroy Star City. Christmas edition" Barry thought to his wife.
"That would have been way more fun if this was London" Caitlin chuckled
"Why would that be more fun, are you trying to pull a brit reference here?" the speedster asked his wife.
"Because if this was London then at least we could speed through the city and look for a blue box. If we found it at least we would know what we would need to expect from the future" She replied nonchalantly
"You mean all kinds of aliens that want to destroy the Earth? Yeah, how about no. I doubt the Doctor exists in this universe and I definitely don't want to battle aliens that want to take over the planet, for the sole reason that we exist" Barry replied and they both started to laugh. They calmed down soon after and fell into a deep sleep, their bodied needing rest from the events of the day that had ended.
AN: To my guest reviewer ( as i usually PM the others ) : You would be completely right, there is no way the MC, with comprehensive medical knowledge as shown through out the story, would know that his wife might have morning sickness. Or, you know, he might have something planned for it? I dunno. :P
