Godspeed

Disclaimer I don't own anything but the story

A few days later Nate had brought his speed up to mach 1.5 while Barry was just under mach 1. Nate was working on the Quantum Splicer while because he was taking a break from looking through files of new employees. He stopped because Caitlin tapped him on the shoulder. Nate looked at her and she smiled "Hartley is here to see you Nate."

Nate smiled and stood up. "Thanks Cait, I wanted to bring him back because I think that he could be a great addition to the team. Speaking of team we need a name for ourselves, something I'll have a team discussion about after I hire Hartley back on as an employee for Horizon Industries."

Caitlin smiled and nods before walking out and letting Nate go meet with Hartley. Ten minutes late Nate walked into the cortex without Hartley and looked at everyone. "We need to make two decisions before we leave this meeting. The first is if Hartley gets to be an addition to the team, the next is what we call our team. We can answer either of them first."

Cisco looked at Nate "I say that we figure out what to call our team before we do anything else."

Everyone else agreed with Cisco. Nate smiled "Alright let's find out a name for our team so that we could have a way to know when we need to have a team meeting and not a work meeting."

Barry looked thoughtful for a minute. "What about team Godspeed? Or maybe team Flash?"

Nate shook his head "We are not putting our hero names in the team name."

Barry sighed "Well there goes all the team names I could think of."

Cisco chuckled before looking at Nate. "How about we call ourselves the Hero League?"

Everyone agreed to that and Nate nods. "Now we need to decide if we're going to bring Hartley into the team or just into Horizon Industries."

Caitlin tapped Nate on his shoulder and whispered in his ear "I don't know about the others but if he can help us get Ronnie back than he's more than earned my vote for him to join the team."

Nate nods to her and Cisco sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Do we have a say about if we want Hartley at Horizon Industries?"

Nate closed his eyes for a second before opening them again. "No, I need him here because if he doesn't join the team than he'll be in charge of the business while we're here helping the city with our powers and gear."

Cisco nods "So that's why you brought him back into the company. Makes sense, we'll need someone to handle the day to day operations while we have to keep the city safe from evil metas along with any other threats to our city."

Nate smiled "I'm glad that you understand that Cisco, but I brought him back because he needs money to get away from his parents so that he can spend time with his boyfriend."

Barry looked at Nate with wide eyes "I didn't know that you worked with someone that was into guys Nate. Why didn't you ever say anything?"

Nate face-palmed "Barry, you've meant Hartley before; I invited him for dinner at our house on a night that you, Iris, Joe, and I had before I started working here two years ago."

Barry looked at Iris and Joe who's nodded. Iris giggled at the confused look on Barry's face. "He's the one you called a dick after he left and Nate smacked you upside the head for it."

The look of realization on Barry's face made Nate speed behind him and give him a speed smack upside his head. "That's what you get for judging someone without knowing anything about him."

Barry sighed and rubbed the back of his head "I deserved that I guess, so we're voting to bring him into the team. He's got my vote because I know that Nate wouldn't be asking about this if he was a bad person."

Nate nods and Cisco groaned "He has my vote, same reason as Barry."

Nate smiled "That's four votes; we still have three more to make a choice."

Harrison cleared his throat. "Why am I being included in this vote?"

Nate popped his neck. "While you and Hartley didn't part on good terms, you're still a part of this team and this is a team decision so you have to be included in the vote."

Harrison nods "He has my vote because I want to show him how sorry I am about firing him when clearly he was right about the accelerator exploding."

Iris smiled "He has my vote because Nate trusts him and that's good enough for me."

Joe nods and puts a hand put a hand on Nate's shoulder. "He has my vote because I've meant him and I can't think of a better person to bring on this team that isn't already in this room."

Nate smiled "Well I'm glad that he's going to be a part of the team, though at some point we're going to need someone that can run the day to day operations while we're helping the city."

Everyone agreed but they also agreed that it could wait for a little bit before they brought someone else in to help with the day to day operations. Nate nods and they all get to work on different things. Joe's phone goes off and he checks it. Joe looks at Barry. "Barr we need to go because Captain Singh just notified me to let me know that we have a crime scene. The entire Darbinyan crime family was killed."

Barry and Joe walked out before going to the new crime scene. An hour later they walked back in. Nate looked at Joe and saw that Joe was worried and confused. "Joe what's on your mind?"

Barry sighed "Nate we think that it was a meta that killed the Darbinyan family. We also think that the meta controls poison gas."

Nate nods before looking thoughtful. "Can I see the crime photos?"

Barry hands Nate copies of the pictures. Nate looked at them "Did they all start in the same area?"

Barry nods "Yeah that's why we thing the meta controls poison gas."

Nate shook his head. "You'd be wrong than little brother, if that was the case than he'd have killed them all before they could move. This means that the meta might actually become poison gas instead."

They heard clapping and turned to see Caitlin and Cisco standing behind Harrison in the door way. Harrison was the one clapping. "That's a very good theory Nathan. Now how do we find out for sure?"

Nate smiled and turned back to Barry. "Test the lung samples and look for a second DNA in the victims lungs."

Barry nods and starts the test. Ten minutes later Barry looked up from the microscope before looking at Nate. "There is another strand of DNA in the victim's lung sample but I can't find the chemicals that make up the poison and the second strand of DNA in the sample."

Nate looked thoughtful for a few minutes. "Barry, check if there was someone that had been giving the needle the night the accelerator exploded."

Barry nods and checks before finding something. He put a picture up on the main screen. "He was the only killed that night by lethal injection. His name is Kyle Numbs and he was a hit man for the Darbinyan crime family."

Nate shakes his head before looking at Joe whose eyes are wide. "Barry check to see who the judge that passed his verdict to him was and see who the cop that arrested him was."

Joe sighed "I was the cop that arrested him and the judge that had passed his verdict was Theresa Howard."

Nate looked at Cisco. "Find her as fast as you can dude."

Cisco nods and three minutes later he had her location. "Nate she's on the west side of the mall. Oh and The Mist might have gotten there already because a lot of people are saying over the police radio that they saw a green mist in the elevator with judge Howard."

Nate nods; both he and Barry grab their suits before both of them take off. Four minutes later they stop outside of her elevator only for her to take her last breath."

They looked around and saw Nimbus walking out a back door. They followed after him. Barry gets mad and clenches his fist shut. "Why did you kill that woman she was innocent?!"

The Mist looked back at them and smirked. "Because I could now run along before I add two more to my list."

Nate shook his head and go in front of him. "You'll have to get through me first bitch!"

Nate got The Mist to follow him and after about five minutes Nate smirked before running through The Mist and breathing a little in, he than motions for Barry to follow him and they both take off. Three minutes later they got back into the cortex and Nate looked at Caitlin while gasping for breath. "Cait, I have a live sample so that you can make an antidote for us but you're going to have to cut into my lungs to get it out."

Ten minutes later Nate was laying on a hospital bed while Caitlin walked in with a large needle. "This is going to hurt Nate."

Nate smiled "I know that I'm in good hands so do what you need too Cait, I'll be fine."

Caitlin nods and stabs the needle into his chest which causes him to groan. About thirty minutes later Nate wakes back up and saw Cisco standing over him with a smile. "Well you're alive."

Nate smiled "I knew that I'd be alright because I had the world's best doctor making sure that I wasn't going to die."

Caitlin had walked in just in time to hear Nate say that he knew that he was going to be alright because of her and smiled. "You still scared the hell out of me so don't do that again because I'll kick your ass."

Nate nods and smiles. "I understand and thank you for saving my life again Cait."

Caitlin walked up to him while he sat up and hugged him. "I can't lose you Nate so please be more careful."

Nate hugged her back and started rubbing her back. "I'm not going anywhere, I promise. I also promise to be more careful from now on."

Caitlin nods and releases the hug. "Good and I was able to make one dose of an antidote so I really hope that you don't need it."

Nate sighed and nods. "That makes two of us. Now let's go see what everyone is doing."

They walk into the cortex and saw that Joe wasn't there. Nate looked at Harrison with a raised eyebrow. "Where's Joe?"

Nate's eyes widen at her answer and he looks at Barry. "Grab your suit because we have to get to Iron Heights now! Mist still has Joe's name on his list, this time we're taking him down and I'm not going to let him kill Joe."

Barry nods and they grab their suits before Nate took the antidote from Caitlin. She did surprise him by kissing his cheek but he smiled and kissed her forehead before he and Barry took off. Five minutes later they entered the room where Joe was talking to their dad only to see Joe on the floor gasping for breath. Nate stabbed the needle into his chest and waited while Joe started to breath normally again. Joe looked at them and nods. "Go get him."

Nate nods and looks at Barry whose looking at their dad with his face vibrating. "Flash we have to get him before he gets away!"

Barry nods and they take off. Three seconds later they stop and have Mist surrounded with Nate in front of him and Barry behind him. Mist smirked "Come to finish what the gas chamber couldn't?"

Nate shook his head "No, we're here to take you somewhere that will make sure that you can't harm anyone else ever again."

With that said Nate and Barry started to run around him and that created a vacuum that sucked all of the oxygen away from Mist. Three minutes later and he fell to the ground due to passing out. Nate picked him up and throws him on his shoulder before looking at Barry. "Let's get back to HQ and make sure that this one gets locked up before he wakes back up."

They both take off and five minutes later they're standing in front of the small holding cell that Mist can't get out of while watching him try by turning himself into mist. Nate smirked and closed the pipe line before turning to Barry "Well he's caught, how about we go see dad and tell him about whom we are?"

Barry smiles and nods before they take off. Two minutes later they stop in the cell that their dad is staying in. Henry looked at them with wide eyes before smiling when they took off their masks and he saw his sons. Henry got up and hugged them both. They hugged him back before Henry backed up and looked at them. "How did this happen?"

Nate smirked "The same night that the particle accelerator exploded and now we can get the man that killed mom if he ever shows up again."

Henry sighed and put a hand on Nate's shoulder. "Nate, you and Barry need to let that go and move on with your lives that man took enough from our family."

Nate shook his head before smiling. "Not going to happen dad because we're going to get you out of here and then the three of us are going to go back to that night so that we can say goodbye to mom."

Henry shook his head "Nate, I've already said my goodbye to Nora."

Nate sighed and nods. "Well Barry and I need to say our goodbyes before we can start to move on. Anyway we need to get going before we're seen, love you dad."

Henry pulled Nate into a hug with a smile. "Go, and keep the city save. Oh and I'm so proud of the men the both of you have become."

Nate smiled and hugged his dad back. When he pulled back he looked at his brother before putting a hand on his shoulder. "Barr, you have three minutes before you have to leave so that you don't get seen by any of the guards."

Barry nods and Nate takes off. Five minutes later Barry shows up in the cortex with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face. Nate looked up from his notes on the Quantum Splicer and smiled at him. "Have a good talk with dad little brother?"

Barry nods and wipes his eyes. "Yeah, thank you for taking me back there so that we could tell dad about what we're doing as the Flash and Godspeed. I really needed that tonight."

Nate nods before looking back at his notes. "That's what older brothers are for, well that and making sure that our little siblings know what not to do. Oh and we also get to embarrass them from time to time."

Barry chuckled. "Right, so I guess that you have something planed to embarrass me?"

Nate smirked and that was when Barry heard everyone else laughing at something in the next room. He goes and looks to see what had them laughing before gaining wide eyes because of what they were watching. The others were watching a recording of Barry's talent show from fourth grade. In this talent show Barry was pretending to be Michael Jackson while singing his hit song Thriller. Barry looked back at Nate with a look of disbelief on his face. "Nate where the hell did you find that?!"

Nate laughed "I always kept the original so that I could make as many copies as I want little bro."

The others come back into the cortex and smile when they see Barry glaring at Nate while Nate was just laughing while working on the Quantum Splicer. Barry looked at them and his face got red before he looked away. Iris walked towards them with a smile. "I forgot about that talent show, I also forget about what Nate did in his talent show that same year."

Nate smirked "I have the video that mom and dad kept if you all want to see my fourth grade talent show."

Everyone but Barry nods and Nate hands the DVD to Joe after pulling out of a drawer in his desk that he always kept locked. Everyone walked back into the room where they watched Barry's talent show video so that they could watch Nate's. Barry followed them because he couldn't remember what Nate did for that talent show. When they saw what Nate was going to do there was no laughing because none of them could find their voices. Nate had walked onto stage and pulled Iris onto stage before having her sit down on the only chair there. The music starts and they all say the smile that Iris had on her face because was going to perform her favorite song at the time only he wasn't going to use a recording of the original singer, he was going to actually sing in himself. When they walked back into the cortex Nate smiled at them before looking at Iris. "Do you want to keep that?"

Iris nods and puts the DVD in her purse before smiling at Nate. "I can't believe that I forgot that you did that in front of everyone when you were in fourth grade."

Nate chuckled "You know that I've never been afraid of anything like that Iris, besides I did tell you that I'd bring you on stage with me because that was just part one of my birthday present for you."
