D.E.O [National City]

The same time

Kara, Barry and Oliver were all divided into two teams. Kara's team were going to go rescue Caitlin and Cisco whilst Barry and Oliver's team were going to try and save everyone from Jessie's wrath down in Dalton Academy. Felicity, John and Thea had all agreed to stay in S.T.A.R Labs and be supporting them all behind the desk. Although it wasn't ideal for Thea and John, especially with their training, they had still agreed to do it, only because they had Alex and J'onn going with them.

"So, we'll scope the perimeter and then we'll infiltrate them through the vent system and through the huge laundry drops," Barry explained as he pointed to all of the locations on the blueprint they had. Oliver nodded and began pointing to certain areas.

"I think we should save the auditorium for last," Oliver began, seeing the shock on Barry's face, "That's where most of the guards would be"

"He's right, Barry," Alex said, "You said that the Auditorium is where your friends and family are and if Jessie's after you, he'll have the highest amount of guards surrounding them"

Barry sighed and reluctantly nodded his head, he wanted to save his family from this. They didn't need to be caught up in some high school grudge; it wasn't fair for them.

"Now, if Jessie is there, I say we let Barry deal with him until Kara can come and deal with him," J'onn explained, "Seeing as their both aliens and my powers only do so much"

"What powers does Jessie even have?" Oliver asked. He and Barry had no idea what they were dealing with, so he might as well tell them so they were prepared.

"He can fly, he has heat vision, he can even bring people back to life," J'onn listed, making Barry's eyes go wide. That's how he had enlisted Zoloman's help, he had brought him back to life.. Oliver had seen how Barry's face went to a pure white shade, he could see the terror and the disgust. That man had broken Barry and stripped Caitlin of her humanity. That man put them through hell. He deserved to rot in hell for the rest of his life.

"Barry?," Alex asked softly, placing her hand onto his shoulder.

"So that's how he did it," Barry whispered brokenly, "That's how he brought Zoom back to life"

J'onn and Winn stared at each other in confusion whilst Kara looked at Barry with a pained expression. Oliver placed a hand onto Barry's shoulder and squeezed comfortingly whilst Alex sighed softly. Kara had explained to her what had happened when she had found out herself and she felt bad for Barry.

"If Zoom shows up, do you think you'd be able to handle him, J'onn?" Oliver questioned, looking at the martian. He stared back at the archer in shock. Why would they want him to take on a speedster? Surely it should be Barry doing that, right?

"You'll be able to beat him, "Oliver commented quickly, "He knows mine and Barry's strengths and weaknesses. He doesn't know yours"

J'onn nodded after a second. He couldn't entirely argue with that logic at all. Kara looked at J'onn with a thankful look, and that look was not missed by Winn. He'd have to ask Kara why she was glad J'onn was going up against this 'Zoom' character rather than Barry and Oliver.

"Okay, now let's get on with the rest of the plan," Barry said, closing his eyes momentarily then reopening them. He took a deep breath and pointed on the blueprint at specific locations.

Dalton Academy [Ohio]

Hours later

The sun had begun to rise once more as Barry, Oliver, Alex, J'onn and the D.E.O Agents arrived at the school. They watched as everyone who was waiting outside the school for loved ones parted ways for them, seeing that 'The Flash' and 'Green Arrow' had arrived.

Green Arrow ran and jumped on top of a squad car, gaining everyone's attention. Flash smirked as Green Arrow cleared his throat and stared at everyone.

"You all need to vacate the premise," He began, "It will not be safe for any of you in the next few minutes"

The cops stared at them incredulously. They wanted to save everyone just as badly as they did but they were actual cops, this was their job; to protect and serve. Slowly, some of the parents and locals began to back away, all of them moving on to the other side of the street as the cops turned to each other. Soon enough, the cops began backing away as well, keeping all of the civilians on the outside away from the building.

Flash nodded at an officer in thanks and turned his attention back onto the school. He took another deep breath and felt the speedforce begin to work its magic in his system. He felt the shocks throughout his body, and they felt good. Alex stared in awe as she saw the lightning buzzing around him, almost acting like a protective barrier in case anyone tried to attack him. Green Arrow pulled down his bow and arrow, aiming directly at one of the windows in the school. Alex and the D.E.O agents all pulled out their guns, cocking them all as they aimed at the main doors to the school.

"Let's do this," Flash muttered, walking closer to the door. There was a mischievous glint in his eyes as he saw a security camera.

"Jessie St James!" He yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth to be louder.

They all waited a moment, the whole place was tense as they did. Then, Flash caught sight of the familiar blue lightning. The same blue lightning he had been fearing. Zoom was there.

"Where's Jessie?" Flash yelled at Zoom, trying not to remember how badly that man had hurt him. This was not the place nor the time.

"He's not here right now," Zoom replied, his voice still as chilling as it was the first time he met Flash all those years ago. Green Arrow growled softly, he really wanted Jessie there just so he could hurt him, "He's a little bit preoccupied with his plan"

"What plan?" Flash demanded, his whole body shaking as he stared at his father's killer. He could hear Winn screaming in the comm system that he was too 'good looking' to die, he simply rolled his eyes at that and continued eye contact with the man who killed his father.

"The Enlightenment," Zoom gasped, and Flash knew he was smirking underneath his cowl.

"Just you wait," He seethed, "Lord Jessie will bring us the new world.. The better world"

Green Arrow scoffed and shot a warning shot at the door. It sent electrical impulses throughout the entire building, cutting off power as well as radio systems and on any electrical device. Zoom growled and ran loser to Flash, they were just inches away from each other.

"If you kill me, your son will join me," He whispered to Flash, "If your little archer friend kills me, there is a good chance he will die"

Flash took a deep breath but he didn't bother speaking. Instead, he simply flashed out of the way, leaving Zoom in J'onn's path as he flew straight at the speedster, taking the fight into the air. Alex, Green Arrow and Flash all looked at the sky before turning their attention back to the school.

"Clear the perimeter," Alex ordered the D.E.O Agents, moving closer to Green Arrow and Flash. The trio all looked at each other and then back to the door. It was about time they saved them all.

"Don't go through the front," Green Arrow commented, nodding to the security cameras around the front, "Let's go to the back and go through there"

"Remember, the Auditorium is last on the list," Flash added, grabbing the other two and speeding them to the back of the school.

Warehouse [Ohio]

The same time'

Supergirl marched her way through the building, all of the guards shooting bullets at her but they simply just bounced off of her. She smirked as they eventually ran out of bullets. Supergirl innocently turned towards them all, rolling her eyes as they all slowly placed their weapons onto the ground.

"Boys, boys, boys," She sighed, "don't make me do this the hard way"

They all ran out of the building, screaming and trembling the whole way. Supergirl chuckled lightly, turning back around to the lone elevator in the room.

"Are you going somewhere?" Someone asked, and Supergirl groaned. How did he escape? AGAIN?

"How did you get away again, Luthor?" She sneered, her whole body stiff as she faced Lex. He looked at her fondly and rolled his eyes, walking to the elevator. Supergirl scoffed and went to try and stop him but then an alarm began blaring throughout the building. Supergirl and Lex both looked at each other before going into the elevator, pressing the top floor button.

Whilst they despised each other, they did have to look out for each other for the time being. As much as Supergirl didn't want to.

Dalton Academy [Ohio]

Flash creeped through one of the empty hallways as he tried not to get caught through the glass on the doors. So far, he had run into a total of 4 guards and they had all run away at the sight of him so he hadn't actually had to hurt any of them.

"How's it looking?" Flash asked into his comm system. It took a moment before he heard it come to life.

"Sorry, a guard tried to take me out" Oliver grunted, and Barry just rolled his eyes. Of course Oliver would talk and beat up a guard.

"Everything's really quiet so far." Alex whispered, "I haven't ran into a single guard so far"

They both heard Oliver grumble something, followed by a laugh from Winn so it was no doubt a sarcastic comment. Flash sighed softly, reaching a classroom with students and a single guard. He stopped just outside the door, his worry levels rising as he watched the guard start to pull his gun out. He needed to step in and fast.

He opened the door with a resonating bang, glad to catch them all off guard. All of the students sighed in relief whilst the guard pulled his gun and aimed at Flash. He simply rolled his eyes and let the bullets leave the gun. Using his superspeed, he caught them all before they had a chance to even get past a single desk. The guard stared at his empty gun in horror as Flash ripped it out of his hand and punched him square in the face. He was out cold.

"All of you stay in here until either myself or an officer comes and tells you to leave," He directed the students, staying outside the door until they had locked themselves inside. Flash sighed in relief, he knew they'd be okay if the guard was to wake up. He had chucked his gun and his bullets out of the window just before he left.

As he moved through the school, his thoughts kept on dancing between his son and the 'Enlightenment'. What was going to happen? Was his son alive? God, he had been through torture enough without seeing his son but after getting the photo off of Hunter, he felt it hurt a lot more.

"Not so fast, Flash" A voice said. Flash turned around and was met with someone he thought he'd never see again.

"Mark Mardon," Flash growled out. His eyes suddenly a darker colour.

Warehouse [Ohio]

Supergirl used her heat vision as the guards used their shields against Lex's powers. The bottoms dropped off, revealing their less protected legs as Lex used his powers and took them all out.

He turned to Supergirl, a grateful look on his face as he nodded at her. Whilst she just rolled her eyes, she did actually like working with Lex, he knew that when it came down to it, he'd do anything to protect those around him. That was the one thing they could agree on.

"If Jessie is here, let me handle him" Supergirl ordered, punching a guard in the face as he tried to get the drop on them. Lex just nodded and used his powers to light up the building.

As they neared the main room, a cry caught their attention. More specifically, a baby cry caught their attention. Supergirl nodded Lex into the direction of the room, she knew Caitlin and Cisco were in there as she got their heat signatures from her x-ray vision. Once he was some distance away, Supergirl entered the room to her left, her heart stopping at the situation.

There was Jessie. Pointing a gun at this little kid's head. Her heart caved in as she recognised the body on the floor.. It was Hunter. He seemed to be alive still though, only barely, however.

"Put the gun down," She warned softly, stepping further into the room.

"Actually no, I don't think I will," Jessie sneered, holding it closer to the boy's head. Tears pooled inside Supergirl's eyes as she saw how terrified the baby was.

"This is what is gonna happen," Jessie began, standing up, "You'll take Cisco and Caitlin and get out of here. You're not gonna try and save this kid because if you do, I'll put a bullet straight through his tiny brain"

"Your choice, Supergirl" He said, a smile appearing on his face. His screaming stopped when Hunter's eyes opened, and she realised what had happened. Hunter had tried to protect the kid, but Jessie had beaten the crap out of him.

Supergirl sighed and began walking towards the door, the screaming of the baby returning as she heard Hunter began yelling at him. This whole situation was awful.

Once she was in the hallway, she let the tears fall as she heard a gunshot ring throughout the building. The crying she had heard was gone, and she hoped that he hadn't done it. She prayed that he hadn't shot that poor kid. He looked familiar though, he reminded her of someone but she just couldn't put a name on it. Lex, Caitlin and Cisco ran down the hallway seconds later, stopping as they saw the state of their friend.

"Kara?" Caitlin asked softly, tears building in her own eyes as she turned to the room. Her and Cisco shared a look and they both slowly entered, leaving the two aliens out in the corridor.

"He pointed a gun to this kid's head," She cried, throwing her arms around Lex, who accepted the hug, "He threatened to shoot a freaking baby in the head just to make a point"

Her whole body shook as she cried in Lex's embrace. She didn't care that she was hugging the person she hated most. She loved being Supergirl, but after seeing that, she just wanted for someone to hug her and tell her it's all going to be okay. Luckily, Lex was doing just that.

"You might want to come see this," Cisco said softly to the duo. Kara pulled away from Lex and wiped her eyes, preparing herself for whatever massacre had taken place in the room.

Dalton Academy [Ohio]

Green Arrow huffed as he took down another guard. They just kept coming at him. They also seemed to be awful fighters, he noted.

The Auditorium was last on the list, so he headed in that direction. He was supposed to meet up with Flash and a few D.E.O Agents before they engaged in the room. As he arrived, he noticed that Alex and J'onn were both there, confusing Oliver. Wasn't J'onn meant to be dealing with Zoom?

"I handed him over to this flying witch thing," He commented, making him even more confused but nonetheless it meant one less speedster around. Correction, one less demonic-crazy-ballistic speedster around.

Flash sped by seconds later, blood covering his face as he tried taking his cowl off. Green Arrow stared in shock at the gaping hole on his left side, it was caking the pants of his suit a deeper crimson colour than before. Alex tried to apply pressure to the wound whilst Flash's blood-stained hands finally ripped the cowl off of his face, helping him breathe easier.

"What happened?" Green Arrow asked, ripping his sleeves off and tying them together. He handed them to Alex who continued to apply pressure to the wound, using all of her strength. Flash swayed on his feet for a moment, his whole face suddenly alarmingly pale and Green Arrow felt as if he had been taken back to the Warehouse where he found Barry barely breathing.J'onn grabbed the man before he tipped backwards, laying him against the wall outside the door, holding him down as he tried to weakly get up.

"Guy… came… out… of… nowhere," Barry commented softly, giving up at trying to get up. His harsh breathing made him feel incredibly light headed, and soon, he found that the wall was surprisingly comfy for his head to relax against.

"Keep him alive whilst we go deal with the guards in there," Oliver commanded, patting Barry on the shoulder softly. This kid had been through a lot in these past two days. When was he ever going to catch a break?

"'m think the bullet is still inside," Barry slurred, his eyes sliding in and out of focus as he looked at Alex. Alex patted the side of his face softly, trying to gain his attention as he struggled to keep his mind there.

"Stay with me Barry," She pleaded, "Let's not have a repeat of what happened yesterday, shall we?"

Barry nodded and gasped softly as she pressed even harder against his wound. He lifted his left arm, numbly trying to push Alex's hands away. He wanted the pain to stop, he needed her to let go.

Alex turned her attention to the door, hearing thuds and yelling from the room. She recognised Joe and Iris' voices, and she turned her attention back to Barry. He was looking at her through half-lidded vision and she cursed softly. He needed to stay awake.

"Joe and Iris are inside," She reassured to him, waiting for it to sink in, "They'll be here soon"

Moments later, Joe and Iris stormed out of the doors, gasping as they saw the state of him. He was awfully pale, his eyes were struggling to focus, because of the bloodloss, and his breathing was laboured.

"Bear," Joe gasped, grabbing Barry's hand as he tried to push Alex away once more. Iris stayed at his left, rubbing circles into his shoulder as he closed his eyes and grimaced through the pain. She listened to her father as he tried to calm Barry down, trying to get him to quieten down.

A noise gained Alex's, Joe's and Iris' attention away from the bleeding out hero. They all looked up, glad to see Kara, Cisco and Caitlin all standing there. Caitlin rushed over to Barry, crouching down beside Alex and taking over applying pressure. Joe wrapped an arm around Barry's shoulders and moved him to a sitting up position, making it easier for Caitlin to see how deep the wound was. Iris tried her hardest to focus on Barry but she couldn't. There was blood staining the wooden wall, making it go to a maroon tone.

"Easy, Barr," Joe said, rubbing Barry's back instead. Caitlin got ready to lift Barry up whilst Oliver and J;onn walked back out, concern shining in their eyes. Oliver took his jacket off, glad that he had allowed Felicity to make the sleeves removable, and wrapped it around the speedster. First, he had to save Barry's life after he stopped breathing, and now, he had to help him recover from a bullet wound.

They managed to ease Barry up into a standing position, letting him slump against Joe as they walked to the breach Cisco opened, waiting to take them back to S.T.A.R Labs. Oliver and J'onn stayed however, they were going to make sure everyone knew it was safe to leave the classrooms. Oliver tapped his comm, making sure that the D.E.O Agents knew that it was done.

They had done it. They had taken back Dalton.

Unknown Location

Hours later

Hunter groaned as he came to. He remembered what had happened very vividly, but he still remembered what had happened. Jessie had taken off with Barry's son, and from the looks of things, he had taken him too.

The woods were quiet, he noted. Usually, you could hear crickets, frogs, the occasional waterfall. Not this time. They were eerily quiet and it uneased the Speedster. Since when has anything in life been quiet? He stood up, groaning at his throbbing head. He glanced around the woods, realising it was pitch black. Sure, he could just speed around the entire forest and see where he was, but he didn't feel strong enough just yet.

He heard rustling moments later, making him jump. He knew the woods usually had some kind of animals in them, like deer, the occasional bear. He just hoped it was the former rather than the latter.

He needed to figure out where he was.. And fast
