SuperFlash vs The 1st Weather Wizard

Kara POV:
It has been a day since Barry has woken up and discovered that he has super speed, and today is a day where he has to keep all of this a secret. He has got a meeting with Captain Singh, in the precinct, to discuss his return to work, and then the two of us are meeting Iris for lunch. After we have done all of this Barry is hoping to get to visit his father, after all, he hasn't seen him in nine months.

I have been trying to teach Barry some methods of how to control his powers, as we discovered last night if Barry even gets the slightest adrenalin rush then his powers show themselves. I had similar issues when I first arrived on earth, getting used to new powers, learning how to control them so I didn't kill anyone, it was hard. And it will be hard for Barry as well, but he will also learn how to control it.

The team at STAR labs want to run more tests on Barry, but Barry just wants to take some time to get his head around this. I can understand that discovering that you have powers is a life-changing thing, suddenly you can do things that seem impossible but aren't. Like running at high speeds, or flying, or being able to heal a broken bone in just three hours. He just needs to take time, like he did when he discovered that I have powers too.

Barry POV:
So I am going to be returning to work next week, providing that Caitlin gives me the all-clear. I just have to start trying to be on time, I can't just keep turning up late to everything, Captain Singh has basically said that the only reason why he is taking me back is that I am good at my job.

After finishing my meeting with the Captain, Kara and I are were walking to Jitters, where we are going to meet Iris for lunch, Caitlin has finally cleared me to eat solid food. We were just taking a leisurely stroll to there, Kara was talking more about what it was like to be Supergirl, and some of the amazing things that she has done. She has told me about catching a plane, and her fights against Vartox and a thing called a Hellgramite. She talked to me about some strange disappearances that had happened in the nine months since the accelerator exploded. We spoke like this for a while and both of us sensed something coming towards us.

I turned around and I could see a car racing towards us, I had flashbacks to the day Kara revealed her powers to me, and this time I saved Kara. In a blink of an eye, I had moved the both of us out of the cars way, and I started running after the car. As I was running I noticed something moving out of the corner of my eye, when I turned around to look it was Kara, in her full supergirl outfit. She had a look of determination on her face, it was a look that I had never seen in her face before, and I was interested to see her at work.

Kara blasted right past me, grinning at me as she passed and she stopped right in front of the car. The car crashed into her and I stopped abruptly, shocked at what I saw. When the car had stopped moving, Kara had moved back about ten feet and she was standing straight, brushing the dust and debris off her suit. When I moved closer to try and help I was shocked by who was driving the car. It was Clyde Mardon, I couldn't believe it, Mardon and his brother were, according to Joe, killed in a plane crash the night the accelerator exploded. Mardon wasn't playing around though, he kicked the door of his car off and raised his hands and... Well, I can't really explain it, but it was like the weather suddenly changed.

Kara POV:
Dense fog just appeared from nowhere, it was so dense that I couldn't even see through it with my normal vision. Thankfully for me, I can see the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including in infrared. I watched as the man, that can create strange weather patterns from nowhere, disappeared into the fog. I was about to go after him when I heard a horn blare, and a screech of tyres and I saw a car hit the car I just stopped.

I knew that I had to react, I could find this weather person again, but I couldn't save these people again. I flew up and grabbed their car, righting it in the air, hitting the breaks I stopped the car from slamming into the ground and set it gently down. Barry just stood there slack-jawed, he had never seen me in action, at least not properly. I ripped the car door off its hinges and assisted the family out of the car.

Once I was sure that they were safe, and I had checked them over for any injuries, I handed them off to the ambulance crews to check them over. Joe was behind me berating Barry for being there, where the danger was. Barry was trying to explain that the man who could control the weather was someone called Clyde Mardon and that he has a freakish ability to change the weather. Joe wasn't believing in a word of what Barry said, he even believed that Barry was fixating on the impossible too much, so I stepped in to help.

"Detective West, it is good to see you again."

"Supergirl thanks for the save, but I am a little busy here."

"I understand, but I need to tell you about something, something that can help your people catch the person who did this. His name is Clyde Mardon, and he can control the weather. You and your men cannot go in after him alone. He will kill you."

"That is ridiculous, people don't just come back from the dead, and have superpowers."

"Then how do you explain me? I have superpowers and I came from nowhere."

"Well... true."

"Look you don't have to believe me but Barry and I know what we saw. Just promise me if you find him you will call me in for backup."

"Fine. But what were you doing here with Barry?"

"He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Oh, I think I see Ms Danvers heading this way. Goodbye gentlemen."

I flew off and landed just a little way away, I got changed super fast and ran back.

"Barr... Barr... Barry? Are you... okay? Hey Joe, what happened, I heard that there was some kind of accident, are you okay? You have only just got out of a coma, you need to be careful."

Barry was trying not to laugh, "Yeah sorry babe, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, it won't happen again."

Joe just looked at both of us and sighed exasperatedly. "Just promise me that you will stay out of trouble, both of you."

"We will Joe. Come on Barry, weren't we supposed to meet Iris for lunch?"

"Yeah, we were. See you later Joe."

Barry POV:
I was impressed at what Kara does, she really is a badass. I can see why the people of Central City love her, she must never meet Oliver he will suck all of the happiness out of her. The way she is not afraid of getting hurt is incredible, although she is fairly indestructible.

I am concerned with what I saw today though, Clyde Mardon should be dead, Joe was adamant that his plane crashed and exploded, so how is he still alive? And why does he have powers? Is this because of STAR labs, are they like me?

"Kara can we cancel with Iris and talk, I am worried about something and I need your help to look something up."

"Sure."

We went back to Kara's apartment and started researching the strange and unexplained things, that have happened in Central City in the last nine months. What we discovered shocked us, the two of us needed to talk to the guys at STAR labs.

When we arrived I was angry, a family of four nearly died today because of Mardon, and Mardon is only this dangerous because of the accelerator explosion. I barged into the Cortex.

"I wasn't the only one affected by the explosion, was I?"

Wells, Cisco and Caitlin looked at each other, they were definitely hiding something. Kara just folded her arms and stared them down, Wells cracked first.

"We don't know for sure."

"You said that the city was safe, you said that there was no residual danger. But that's not true, so what really happened that night?"

"Well... The accelerator went active, we all felt like heroes, and then... It all went wrong. The dimensional barrier ruptured, unleashing unknown energies into our world."

Kara looked surprised and seemed to realise something.

"Wait. I noticed a spike of Dark Energy, and X-elements in the fortress, the same time that the accelerator exploded. Are you telling me that you are responsible for that."

"Babe those are all theoretical."

"Err, Barry? Kryptonians discovered Dark Energy and X-elements over a hundred thousand years ago. I just can't announce it because everyone will work out that I am an alien. The human race is not ready for this kind of technological advancement."

Wells looked intrigued, "Ms Danvers you may need to tell us some of the other things that Kryptonians have discovered one day." Kara just glared at Wells and her eyes glowed, she was pissed off with him, more than I was. Wells just shook it off and returned to answering my question. "But back, to what you were saying. How theoretical are you? We mapped the dispersion throughout and around Central City. Though we have no way of knowing exactly what or... Who was exposed, we've been searching for other meta-humans like yourself."

"Meta-humans?" I was puzzled by what Dr Wells said, as was Kara.

"It's what we're calling them." Caitlin eventually piped up.

"We saw one today, and Kara almost had him. He is a bank robber, who can control the weather."

Cisco looked excited. "Man, this keeps getting cooler."

Kara looked at them appalled. "This is not cool Cisco. A family, with two young children, almost died today." That sobered Cisco up real fast. "This is not a game, alright. If I weren't there, then they would have died."

"Mardon must have got his powers the same way as me, from the storm cloud." I mused. "We have to stop him before he kills this time."

Kara nods and looks at me with a look of determination in her eyes, she has already got Winn on the job, but it can take a while to locate a ghost. Wells, on the other hand, looked almost angry at what I said.

"You're not a cop Barry."

"No but I work for the police, and my girlfriend works as a secret crime-fighting superhero. But neither of us is responsible for what is happening here. That is all on you, you are responsible for this, for him."

"What's important is you! Not me. I lost everything. I lost my company. I lost my reputation. I lost my freedom. And then you broke your arm, and it healed in three hours. Inside your body could be a map to a whole new world- Genetic therapies, vaccines, medicines, treasures buried deep within your cells and we cannot risk losing everything because you want to go and play hero! You're not a hero. You are just a young man who was struck by lightning."

Kara was seething at these words, she spent her whole life trying to avoid people finding out who she is, trying to avoid becoming a science experiment. Now Wells wants to do that to me, and I can see what Kara was afraid of when telling me what she could do. Kara narrowed her eyes and approached Dr Wells.

"Look Barry is not a science experiment, you are not going to run tests on him, and that is final. If Barry wants to fight crime, he can, and I will help teach him how to use his powers for good." Kara turned to face me. "Come on, Barry, we're leaving."

Kara grabbed my hand and flew us back to her home. And when we landed in her place she sat on the sofa looking at me with this worried look on her face. I think that she was expecting me to freak out, eventually, she broke the silence.

"What do you want to do now?"

"I need to talk to someone who can help me make up my mind. Do you fancy meeting the Green Arrow?"

She beamed at me and I bolted off towards Starling City, I could see Kara flying overhead as Supergirl. I briefly stopped as I saw the lights of Starling City, and saw that my shoes and jacket were smoking. Taking my jacket off I carried on running with Kara following close behind. It didn't take long before I made it to the roof of Queen Consolidated and I called Oliver.

Oliver was happy that I was awake, but was wondering what I was doing here and why I was on the roof, he was also annoyed that I brought Kara with me, but he calmed down when I explained who she was and that she already knew who he was. Thanks to x-ray vision.

I started to explain everything, starting with my mother's death and ending with now. Oliver listened intently and didn't say anything while I was telling my story.

"So that's my story. Like I say it's pretty hard to believe, but it's the truth. I have spent my whole life searching for the impossible... Never believing that I would become the impossible."

"So why come to me? Something tells me that you didn't run 600 miles, just to say high to a friend."

"I screwed up. If Kara hadn't have been there, then a family of four would have died."

"If you are going to do this then you will make mistakes. I have, I bet Supergirl here has." Kara nodded at this statement. "The good that you will do though, will far outweigh the bad."

"I don't know Oliver, I don't know if I can be like you... Some vigilante. And I am no hero like Kara, she and her cousin are a symbol of hope for the world. She is a total badass. I mean what if Wells was right, what if I am just some guy who was struck by lightning."

Kara put her hand on my shoulder to try and reassure me. Oliver looked at the two of us and smiled at our interaction.

"I don't think that the lightning bolt struck you, Barry, I think that it chose you. You are no vigilante, you are a hero. You and your girlfriend could become symbols of hope for your city. Moving through, saving people... In a flash." I smiled at that, I rather like that name. "You've got a good heart, now you have fast legs."

The arrow walks over to the ledge and nocks an arrow. Before he fires and leaves he turns to face me. "Take your own advice... Wear a mask."

At that, he fires his arrow and grapples to the next building. Kara and I look at each other smiling and at the same time we exclaimed. "Cool!" We moved off, me running and Kara flying as we were moving I heard Kara chuckle.

"What is it, babe?"

"Oliver just thought that we were cool. Come on let's go home."

Kara POV:
When we got home, instead of going to bed we called Winn and Alex in and started researching unsolved cases over the last year, and what we noticed was shocking to all of us. There has been a huge increase in missing person cases and unexplained deaths in the last nine months.

Winn also hacked into the NTSB and looked up the report for the Mardon plane crash. The flight path would have brought their plane slap bang into the shockwave caused by the explosion. Clyde and Mark Mardon's bodies were never recovered.

The next day the four of us went back to STAR Labs and explained to them what we discovered, we didn't completely blame them for what happened, after all, they didn't know what would happen when they turned the accelerator on, but they're responsible in a way.

"Look we know that none of you intended for this to happen, but it did. And now Kara and I might be the only ones who can help here."

We smiled at each other, "Barry is right, team Supergirl doesn't have the resources that you guys do. So are you going to help us or not?"

Cisco smiled and responded rather enthusiastically. "The whole city is angry with us after what happened, if this is the one good thing that came out of this then I am in."

Cisco high five Barry and I, he shook his hand off after high fiving me. Oops. Caitlin was looking a little teary-eyed.

"I lost everything in that explosion, I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of us. I need loosing Ronnie to mean something." I hugged Caitlin, she was so strong I don't know if I could cope if Barry died.

Cisco and Caitlin looked at each other, and Cisco beamed a huge smile. "If you are going to stop this weather freak. No weather... Never mind I will name him later. If you are going after him then I have something for you."

He walked over to a dark corner and pressed a button on the wall. The section lit up and there was a red suit, with a hood and face breathing mask. Winn's jaw just dropped and he swore under his breath, and I chuckled at Winn's reaction. Cisco may make good suits but only Winn would ever make mine.

"This is something that I have been working on, it is designed to replace than traditional turnouts that firefighters wear. The fabric is made from a tri-polymer, a little like yours supergirl, it is heat and abrasive resistant, so when you're running at high-velocity speeds, it won't shred like your normal clothing." Barry was over the moon, he had his own super-suit. "Your suit has built-in sensors so we can monitor your vitals, and stay in contact with you from here."

"Cisco, this is awesome, thanks, man. So now I have a suit how do we find Mardon?"

Winn and I looked at each other and smiled. "Barry, I think that we can help with that. Winn and I have been tracking meteorological abnormalities all over the city, and the moment he uses his powers we will get a ping." At that moment the computers started beeping and we raced over to the monitors.

"We just got a ping from the STAR Labs satellite's." Cisco just spluttered and Wells looked pissed of. "Sorry, not sorry. Anyway, the atmospheric pressure has just dropped twenty millibars in a matter of seconds."

"Where."

As Barry and I were flying towards the place where Mardon was I was contacted by Winn. "Supergirl, Detective West has just called."

"What does he want Telle?" Barry looked at me confused by Winn's name, but I will explain it later.

"He and detective Thawne have found Clyde Mardon, and Thawne has been hurt and Mardon well..."

"Let me guess he is creating a massive tornado?"

"Uh yeah... How did you know?"

"Because I can see it. Figure out a way to stop the tornado."

I turned to Barry. "Mardon has Joe and Eddie pinned, we need to hurry."

I raced past Barry, and I could see him putting in more effort to get there in time. I grabbed Joe and Eddie and got them into the Barn and told them to stay there, I met Barry outside.

"Telle, talk to me."

"SG wind speeds are reaching over 200mph, if this carries on much longer it is going to become an f5 tornado. You need to stop it."

Barry and I looked at each other concerned. "I can't reach Mardon to knock him out, we need to stop the wind first. Any ideas?"

"What about if we cut its legs off?" I looked confused but as Barry starts to explain I get what he is saying. "You know run and fly around the base so fast that it just unravels."

"That is good. Winn how fast do we need to go. About 500mph, basically just fly, and fast. Got it."

Barry POV:
Kara took off and was already racing around the base of the tornado. Suddenly she was hit by a bolt of lightning and was thrown back. She got up and looked pissed but collapsed again, I ran over to her but she waved me off.

"I'll be fine, but electricity always makes me a little weaker. Just run Barry, run."

Caitlin was shouting in my ears. "Be careful Barry, your body may not be able to handle those speeds."

I started to run, but I was getting exhausted. I could her Cisco commenting about my suit, and Caitlin commenting about me. I tried to ignore them but I was tiring, suddenly Wells came on the comms.

"You are right Barry, I created this madness, but you can stop it. You, Barry. You are more than your speed, so now. Run Barry, Run."

I put on a burst of speed like never before, and I could see, as I was running, that Kara had joined in again. Between the two of us we were doing it. The tornado was losing power, and it didn't take long for it to disappear completely. Then it was all calm, Kara raced over and punched Mardon out and returned to me, pulled off my mask and kissed me.

"You did it, babe I am so proud of you, and a little turned on by that suit."

"Supergirl we can all hear you back here."

"Stop eavesdropping Telle. As I was saying I am so proud of you, you are a hero Barry..."

We were interrupted by a gunshot ringing out, we turned around to see Mardon dead, and Joe with his gun pointed at him. Joe saw me standing there, my arms around supergirl and put two and two together.

"Barry, you... You... You can run really fast, and then Supergirl, or should I say, Kara?"

"Please Joe we will explain everything tonight, Eddie is waking up and we need to leave before he sees us. If anyone asks Supergirl saved you."

Kara took off and I took one last look at Joe, put my hood up, and raced after her.

After getting debriefed by the team, and after Cisco declared that Mardon's name was going to be the Weather Wizard, Kara and I headed for Joe's. When we arrived Iris was thankfully out and Joe already had a drink in his hand.

"So are you both going to explain what is happening?"

Kara and I spent the next few hours telling Joe everything and answering any questions that he had. Joe was shocked and surprised that Kara was so easily disguised by a pair of glasses, but she said that it was mostly her mannerisms that made her different. Supergirl was very confident, and Kara is quiet and keeps to herself, well at least in public. After everything, Joe turned to me.

"You weren't crazy to chase the impossible. You really did see something that night your mother died. Your dad really is innocent." Joe looked at both of us. "We will catch the son of a bitch who did this, together. But the two of you need to promise me something. Iris can never know, for her safety, she must never know."

We all agreed that this should never happen.

3rd Person POV:
Barry went to visit his dad in jail. Henry Allen was beaming when he saw his son again. Barry sat down on the other side of the glass and picked up the phone.

"Hey, slugger."

"Hey, I've been worried about you."

"You've been worried about me? You were the one in a coma. How are you doing, really?"

"Dad I'm fine, I promise. Don't ask me how, but I know what happened to mum now. I don't know who killed her, but I know-how. And I will prove it and get you out of here."

"Barry we talked about this, you be a to stop worrying about me and live your life."

Barry smiled at his dad. "For the first time, I feel like maybe I can..." Barry starts remembering the events of the last day.

He remembered Kara and himself cooking dinner together in her apartment, singing and dancing together. Then holding each other kissing.

"The truth is, since the night mum died I've been stuck in one place I've missed out on a lot of things. But things are different now, I have met some new friends now, and they, along with Kara are helping me find my way..."

Barry remembered the moment that Cisco put the new logo on Barry's suit. A red circle, with a yellow lightning bolt running through the middle. Caitlin comments on it. "Why is it shaped like a lightning bolt?"

Cisco looked almost insulted, "So it's not boring." The gang all laughed and toasted the new team."

Barry continues talking. "...No more living in the past, I am moving forward."

Barry and Kara suit up and race through the streets, laughing and smiling, looking out for their city, saving people together.

Barry Allen V.O.:
My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. A friend recently gave me the idea for a new name... something tells me that it is going to catch on.
