For simplicity, I decided to say Barry's resting heartrate is 6000bpm, this is how I broke down a certain speed feat in the beginning of the chapter. Now, before any of you say that's ridiculous it really isn't because 1.) this is a fanfic of a show based on a comic book character, and 2.) car engines can get up to at least 6000rpm so there's that.
Also I wont be able to start the next chapter until the end of May. I have an exam that I need to study for so that is where my focus needs to be. I apologize to everyone who wants faster updates but this is for my future.
I'm assuming everyone is up to date on The Flash, in that regard Savitar's identity (as well as the majority of Season 3) it won't be affecting this story much if at all. 1.) Because its kind of the same as Rewriting History and 2.) Season 3 (aside from Killer Frost) has been unbearably meh this year where I see things that are eerily familiar to both Rewriting History (Future version of Barry coming to the past) and The Fury of Killer Frost (KF being a manifestation of repressed emotions, KF freezing off Cisco's hands, KF working for a dude who looks like Barry).
The Flash: Survival of the Fastest
Chapter 15: A City Without the Flash
December 19, 2017
Central City Picture News
Iris West-Thawne found herself in a position she was finding herself in more and more, staring at her computer screen, the story she was writing was almost complete she just needed one last sentence to finish it off. She had a deadline to meet, but she couldn't stop thinking about the last three months.
The last few months had gotten difficult for Team Flash; Even after August and Ben's miraculous recovery criminal activity was on the rise as news of the Flash's disappearance spread like wildfire. Crimes and Meta-Humans were springing up almost every day pushing everyone to their limits especially since Kara, Alex, J'onn, Harry and Jesse had to return to their respective Earths.
Whenever she wasn't running around as a speedster Caitlin spent whatever time she had with Barry. The Scarlet speedster's body was healing much slower than it normally would and that scared her. Lightspeed must have done something to her boyfriend, that was slowing down his accelerated healing. Iris found herself also spending a lot of time with Caitlin and the unconscious Barry. When she was not working for the paper, or spending time with Eddie she joined Caitlin by Barry's side. It really hurt Iris that there wasn't much she could do aside from being supportive of Caitlin.
Joe and the police department were getting swamped under the massive influx of crimes. Missing people, robberies and meta-humans coming out of the woodwork forced The CCPD and the KCPD to start working together as cases bled between the sister cities. Eddie was doing his best over in Keystone but they were experiencing many of the same problems Central City was experiencing.
Wally and Ben were pushing themselves harder every day. According to Ben what made Lightspeed dangerous was his ability to move at the speed of light, the universal speed limit of everything, so for the last few months they were working with Cisco and Caitlin to try and find a way to get up to that speed.
Over the last few months, Iris' suspicions about August only grew. He was slightly more brutal than any other hero, borderline on Oliver's level in terms of brutality. Quite frankly this darker tone he was taking reminded her of The Future Barry they met back in 2015, though August, or rather Godspeed, had yet to actually kill anyone in front of them, but that didn't me he wasn't close to killing. Behind everyone's backs Iris had been investigating August, so far, she's learned virtually nothing about him, whatever backstory he had given him was completely false.
The people of Central City were not as oblivious as they appeared, they noticed that The Flash wasn't running around Central City that much if at all. People were talking and spreading rumors about the Flash, some saying he was dead and even some other saying he had given up. One thing that Iris noticed that made her uneasy was how well the city was taking to August. It seemed to be too large of a coincidence that August rolls into town, Barry gets seriously hurt and then August virtually became well known and loved by the citizens.
Iris glanced over at her phone to look at the time, it was roughly 11:45pm and she had fifteen minutes to finish. In the grand scheme of things Iris sometimes felt that what she did never truly matters, after all she's just about the only one on Team Flash who has no superpowers, in fact almost all of last year she felt like she was being treated as a glass doll constantly in distress. Sometimes she wished there was more she could offer.
Central City, S.T.A.R. Labs
It was the middle of the night and S.T.A.R. Labs was almost completely deserted aside from the unconscious Barry n the medical Bay and Joe West who was sleeping next to Barry. Someone needed to remain at the lab at all times with Barry in case something went wrong.
The silence and darkness of the lab seemed to be endless, until a feint red glow illuminated a dark hallway.
To the outside world nothing out of the ordinary happened. Even to speedsters nothing seemed to be happening as what happened next took place within a speedster's single heartbeat, 0.01 seconds.
In that miniscule amount of time The Medical Lab was illuminated by the red glowing energy of the black clad Speedster, Speed Demon. The Demonic speedster hovered over the Flash looking over the broken man. He craned his neck as black lighting arced over his body. Yes, Speed Demon was exactly where he needed to be, At the Flash's side at his time of dying, not like it was the first time this had happened after all, he always found himself near a speedster whose time had run out.
Beneath his devilish helm, Speed Demon closed his eyes and let his memory drift, something he normally did not do, but with Barry Allen it was a special case as his memory took him to another place and another time.
Please… please… The Flash's pleas filed into his ears as he remembered looking down at a bloodied and broken Flash.
Coming out of the brief memory flash, Speed Demon looked up and down the unconscious speedster before he took action.
December 20, 2017
The following morning Caitlin sat next to Barry's unconscious body. For nearly three months, the Scarlet speedster had been unconscious and healing far too slowly, "Come on Barry…" Caitlin cupped Barry's hand in her own.
"How's he doing?" Iris asked as she entered the room.
"Still nothing." Caitlin said. This had become rather routine for the two women. Caitlin would come in early and check over Barry before taking a seat next to him. "His body is healing, most of his bones have recovered but he still has a long way to go. And there's still no telling how much damaged he really suffered until he wakes up."
Iris sighed, over the last few months she was spending a lot of time with Barry's unconscious body and it was stirring dormant feelings. Feelings Iris quickly dismissed as she had already made her choice on that front. Plus, it would be completely unfair to both Caitlin and Eddie if Iris were to act upon her love for Barry. She's committed to her life with Eddie because she loves him. "Ok Caitlin… do you want me to swing by later to bring you home?"
That too had become part of their routine. Despite the countless hours, Caitlin spent by Barry's unresponsive side Iris had managed to get Caitlin to rest and have a proper night of sleep. Dare she say she spent more time at Caitlin and Barry's home in the last two months taking care of Caitlin than she spent at her own home with Eddie.
"No," Caitlin replied with a smile. "I think it's time I start getting back on my own two feet. I cannot thank you enough Iris."
Iris smiled. "OK Caitlin. I've got to get to my job. Central City won't know how you guys stopped the Candyman unless I tell it."
Caitlin thought back to yesterday when they fought the Meta-Human cisco nicknamed The Candyman. His real name was William Helpmann, a tall and thin man with a long-crooked nose, who looked like a creepy blend of Willie Wonka and The Child Catcher. Much like numerous other new Meta-Humans he apparently gained his powers from the drug MH-52. Anything he licked turned into candy. It was a tougher fight than they initially anticipated because he was cannibalistic, several officers tried to apprehend him but he turned them into candy and ate them.
After a grueling battle, in which Wally was almost turned into candy, they had managed to outlast him long enough for the drug's effects to wear off and he returned to his normal, creepy non-Meta-Human self.
Caitlin was honestly a little frustrated with the MH-52 drug that seemed to keep popping up. She really needed a sample of the drug. Ben had no clue where it was coming from or how to even manufacture it. All he knew was that a crime lord named Puppet Master was the one supplying it. So, on top of Lightspeed and his cronies, Team Flash was nowhere near close to finding The Puppet Master.
"Hey, Caitlin, are you coming to my Dad's for Christmas?" Iris asked.
Caitlin looked back to Barry and sighed. "I honestly don't know Iris. I mean, I would love to go, and Barry would want me to go, but I just cannot get myself into the holiday spirit when he's like this."
"Ok, well, just let us know if you're coming. It really would mean a lot to us."
"Thank you, Iris, I will." Caitlin gave the reporter a small slightly sad smile as the dark-skinned woman left the room.
After what must have been an hour of just sitting next to Barry Caitlin decided it was time to run her daily diagnostics on Barry. Take blood samples, change his IVs, give him an MRI, among other things. With her super speed, Caitlin could run every test imaginable in fifteen minutes, however, because this was Barry, Caitlin took her sweet time analyzing seemingly every cell in his body. The doctor connected her phone to a set of speakers Cisco owned and pressed the play button.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance
Lady Gaga's Bad Romance began to play and echo through the mostly empty lab. Lady Gaga was Barry's favorite artist, according to his Facebook, and part of her hoped that her music would have the same effect on Barry as it did the day he woke up from his first coma. Soon Caitlin found herself humming slightly to the music as she started the tests.
It was during these tests Caitlin noticed an anomaly. Barry's heartrate had increased, and every other injury he had sustained was fully healed, all Barry was doing now was sleeping, which meant-
Barry gasped loudly as his eyes bolted open and he shot up.
"Barry!" Caitlin cried out as she rushed over to him a mode that was somewhere between overly concerned girlfriend and professional doctor. "Barry! Calm down I'm right here! You're in S.T.A.R. Labs."
Barry's eyes were scanning around the room at lightning speed as if he was searching for something until his vision settled on Caitlin. "Caitlin? What happened? How'd I get here?" Barry asked while his girlfriend was checking over him. His voice was panicked and confused. Caitlin looked as if she hadn't slept in days. "Cait?"
"Easy Barry…" Caitlin said, though it sounded like she was saying it more to herself. "Just take it easy… you were in a coma…"
"A coma!?" Barry's eyes widened further. "I…When… how? How long?" Too many questions were running through his brain. "Cait…What happened?"
Caitlin looked away for a moment. "About three months… It's December…" Turning around, Caitlin took Barry's hand in hers and sat on the edge of the bed. "It's a long story." Barry smiled reassuringly.
"I'm not going anywhere for a while Cait."
"OK…" Caitlin began to recount what had happened over the last three months.
Central City Courthouse
At the same time, on the other side of the city, the police were standing outside the courthouse. Twenty minutes ago, a few men entered the courthouse and now they were holding everyone hostage demanding the release of someone in Iron Heights.
"Damn." Singh said as he rubbed his eyebrows. "Once upon a time we were able to stop crimes without The Flash, now it feels like there's nothing we can do without them."
Joe turned to the captain. "There are six armed men in there with nearly two dozen hostages, sir, and we cannot give into their demands."
"I know Joe, it took us months to build that case to lock him up. We are not letting this bastard go."
"Well, whoever these guys are they've got some highly-advanced weapons, the likes of which I have never seen before." The commanding officer of Central City's S.W.A.T. unit said as he joined Singh and Joe. "My snipers cannot get a clear enough shot, there's a high risk that we would end up killing hostages before hitting them."
The world slowed down around everything as Wally, Ben and August arrived on the scene.
"Half a dozen bad guys inside." Wally said
"Two dozen hostages." Ben continued
"Piece of cake." August smirked. "So, you guys get the hostages I'll handle these crooks."
The two other speedsters each gave August a cocky grin. Over the last three months Wally was getting much faster to where he was almost on par with Ben and August.
Lightning crackled as All three of them entered into the courtroom. Hostages and gunmen were all seemingly slowed down moving ever so slowly.
Wally ran in first as the men slowly turned to the three speedsters. Kid Flash made it to the first of the hostages when things went sideways. The hostage had a device strapped to her chest that activated the moment Wally got close. Strange rods that looked like blue batteries burst forth and jammed themselves into Wally's legs making him fall.
At the same time, Ben noticed the symbol on the gunmen's chest. A swirl resembling a vortex of sorts. Suddenly, for the first time in months, Ben found his mind assaulted by a plethora of visions of people wearing that emblem. They poked and prodded Ben in his vision while saying things he did not understand.
Seeing both Wally and Ben going down Godspeed dove into action. Allowing the Speed Force to source through him as it had done thousands of times before, August grabbed Ben and Wally flashing them out of the building before returning to the courtroom. Maybe several years ago August would have tried to negotiate with these mad men, but that was years ago, now he wasn't going to waste any time. He remembered how Ben, Wally, Caitlin and Barry had explained some science-mumbo-jumbo to incapacitate these men, but he knew how to use his powers in different, more efficient ways.
He grabbed two of the men and vibrated them at the same frequency as himself before sticking them literally into the wall. Once he let go of them they merged with the wall with looks of horror permanently etched on their faces. He then ran to the next assailant before delivering a lightspeed kick to his skull, obliterating his cranium and decimating the wall behind him. Without missing a beat, August he whirled around with such speed he threw two lightning bolts that shot through the chests of two more men killing them. Sure, the Flash preached nonlethal methods in dealing with criminals but Godspeed found that they would just get back out and that didn't keep anyone safe.
He grabbed the last man and flashed him out of the courthouse and to the roof of the courthouse. "Alright you scum, tell me everything Black Hole knows about us Speedsters." He ordered while holding him over the ledge by his throat.
"I… I don't know!" The man screamed.
"That's the wrong answer!" Godspeed began to shake the man violently causing him great pain. "This is a technique I once used to kill one of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse." He stopped shaking the man and held him closer to his face.
"What… what was that?"
"I just gave you a little shake. If I were to shake you harder it would turn your insides to mush. Now, tell me where I can find the leader of Black Hole."
"I don't…" Godspeed shook him even more violently, not enough to kill him.
"Again, wrong answer. Tell me where I can find your boss. This is your last chance."
The man proceeded to piss himself in fright. "B-black hole operates out of an old abandoned S.T.A.R. Labs facility, just outside Keystone."
"Thank you." Godspeed smirked before letting go of the man's neck and allowing him to fall to the streets bellow. Though he let the man fall to his death, Godspeed wasn't completely without mercy, using his most powerful ability he warped the man's personal flow of time. For a normal person they would hit the pavement in roughly a quarter of a second, but now, this criminal was going to suffer. To the outside world only a quarter of a second may be going by but to the criminal he was going to make that fall last for hours.
S.T.A.R. Labs, Medical Lab
Barry sat in the bed just waiting. Last time he was in a coma for an extended period of time he was up and on his feet within thirty seconds. This time Caitlin wasn't letting him go anywhere without first going through the proper tests.
Iris and Cisco had learned that Barry had woken and were immediately by his side.
"I know Caitlin already gave me the rundown about what's been happening for the last few months, is there anything else I might have missed?"
"Well, did Caitlin mention that Oliver and Laurel have been missing? Or about how I went to another planet with Martian Manhunter to rescue Supergirl?"
"Yeah she mentioned Oliver is still missing, what exactly happened with Kara?" Barry asked. All Caitlin had told him was that Kara, J'onn and Alex had returned to their reality shortly after Barry was attacked by Lightspeed.
"Well, she was abducted by Mon-El's doppelganger, and held on trial for crimes her doppelganger apparently committed. Hey guess what? Kara's people are complete assholes in this universe." Cisco said.
"Really?"
"Yes, though thankfully Kara and J'onn were able to make nice with these galactic police force called the Green Lantern Corp."
"Where were they when The Dominators attacked?" Barry asked
"They apparently were dealing with a full scale ware with some freaky monsters called the Sinestro Corps. That's what I was seeing in my vibe with the monsters in those cells."
"Sinestro Corps? Sounds a little on the nose don't you think?" Caitlin said reentering her lab. "I mean I cannot be the only one who thinks Sinestro sounds eerily close to sinister."
"Yeah, guess you are right, but get this one of them, the guy who stood up for Kara, he's from Earth!" Cisco continued.
"Really?" Barry asked surprised that there was a human living out there among aliens.
"Oh yes, no clue who he is or where he's from, just that he's from our humble little ball of dirt and water."
"Well, how are other things?" Barry asked
"They're fine." Iris said. "Everyone has been dealing with your injuries in different ways, but its nothing we can't handle."
"Well, Barry do you want the good news first or the bad news?" Caitlin asked
"Uh, is there anyway I can just get the good news?" The Flash asked to which Caitlin shook her head.
"The good news is all your tests have come back with excellent results, in fact you seem to be in better condition now than before." Caitlin said showing Barry the results.
"How is that possible?" Cisco asked.
"Anther mystery of the Speed Force?" Iris asked
"Maybe, so, want the bad news?" Caitlin asked.
"I guess I have little choice." Barry shrugged. "Give it to me straight Dr. Snow."
"I cannot let you leave STAR Labs until we run some physical tests, just to ensure your body is functioning properly, and by that I mean your standard of normal."
Central City Courthouse
Just outside the courthouse Wally and Ben were fully recovered from their physical and psychological ordeal when the S.W.A.T. Officers came out with the hostages. It all happened very quickly for the speedsters. One second they were running in and the next they were outside while August was telling the cops they did not have to worry about giving the men their rights.
"Thank god everyone is OK." Ben said watching the people. "How's the leg Wally."
"Better once we got those spike things out." Wally rubbed his right leg. "Where the hell did they get weapons like that?"
Ben just shrugged. He never came across anything like that from his time. "No idea, and even if I did I couldn't do anything about it, flow of time and all."
"What about you man?" Kid Flash asked the other Flash. "I caught a glimpse of you. You looked like you'd seen a ghost in there."
Ben exhaled heavier than he meant to. "I don't know what happened. They seemed familiar but I have never seen thugs and guns liken theirs before." Ben looked around an noticed someone was missing. "Where's Godspeed?" he asked concerned for their friend. There was a flash of golden-white lightning and Godspeed was next to them.
"What's up guys?" August asked
"What happened?" Wally asked.
"I took care of it." Godspeed said nonchalantly. "They won't be bothering anyone else ever again." That's when Joe and Captain Singh made their way over to them.
"What the hell was that?" The Police Captain demanded angrily.
"What are you talking about Captain?" Ben asked switching to his disguised voice.
"He's talking about the five dead bodies inside the courthouse." Joe turned to August. He knew Neither Wally nor Ben would ever stoop to this level, but August… August has been slowly getting more and more brutal ever since Barry was attacked. Every meta-human or criminal that had the misfortune of meeting August had the luxury to end up in the hospital more than Iron Heights.
"I did a service for the City Detective West." August argued. "Those were some very bad men, they were part of a private scientific army known as Black Hole."
"Black Hole? Never heard of them." Singh said not really believing Godspeed.
"Well, it's the truth." Godspeed said.
"And now we have nothing to support your claim! You killed all of those men!" Godspeed stood unflinching in the face of the police captain's fury.
"Godspeed, you killed those men!?" Ben said horrified.
"I took those men off the streets." August countered. "They had tech to compete with us and hurt a lot of people. I did what was right."
"That is not your call." Singh and Godspeed were inches from each other
A beeping sound came from August's wrist prompting him to get ready to run.
"Where are you going?" Wally demanded.
"I don't have time to chit chat." August retorted. "Those thugs were working for someone and I will find out who." Ignoring what everyone else was saying Godspeed took off, he had other business to attend to.
Singh rubbed his forehead furiously before turning to Kid Flash and the other Flash. "If neither of you nor the Flash can wrangle in that guy I will have no choice but to declare you enemies of the city and issue an arrest warrant!"
Ben was about to run after August when his mother's voice came over the com link. "Hey, what's up?"
"Guys, get back to S.T.A.R. Labs, Barry's awake!" Caitlin said happily before abruptly hanging up.
"Flash is awake!?" Wally grinned happily.
Ben couldn't contain his smile. "Come on!" Before Joe could protest or say anything Ben grabbed him and Flashed them to S.T.A.R. Labs with Wally closely behind them.
S.T.A.R. Labs, Medical Lab
"Easy Barry." Iris said to the Flash. Iris was supporting Barry's left side while Caitlin was supporting his right. According to Caitlin, since Barry had not used any of his muscles in the last three months they had to take everything slowly.
Walking was proving to be difficult for Barry, almost as Bad as the time Zoom broke his back. OK maybe having virtually every bone broken was worse than just his back, though that temporarily robbed him of his legs. This one robbed him of three months with the people he loved.
"That's it Barry, just a few more steps." Caitlin encouraged him with a smile.
Barry was struggling, not to the point of exhaustion, but enough that he gave reason for Iris and Caitlin to be by his sides.
"OK…" Barry panted slightly. "Can I sit back down now?"
"Yeah" Caitlin and Iris guided Barry back to the bed just as Joe, Wally, Ben and Eddie entered.
"Dad!" Ben cried out happily as he approached Barry and hugged the Flash.
"Hey Ben…" Barry returned the hug despite the slight pain surging through his sore body. Ben let go of Barry before he was replaced by Joe, Eddie and then finally Wally.
"Damn you had us scared Barry." Joe said
"I'm fine Joe, really." Barry smiled. He looked around. "I've heard what's happened while I was out."
"Ah… So, you know how tough it's been getting." Wally lowered his head a little.
"Hey, guys once Caitlin gives me the all clear I'll be back out there with you cleaning up the streets." Barry turned to Caitlin and she gave him a smile.
"Alright, let's let Barry rest." Caitlin proceeded to shoo everyone out of the room and was about to leave herself when Barry stopped her.
"Cait… wait… I need to talk to you."
Caitlin made her way back to Barry and sat down next to him. "What's wrong Barry?"
"It's just…I've been thinking since I woke up." Barry rubbed the back of his head. "you almost lost me… and I know that sort of thing is extremely hard for you." He reached out and took her hands into his own. "I guess what I'm trying to say is… I've been waiting for the uh, perfect moment to say this but… it seems like the perfect moment never quite shows up when you think… I mean how do you know it's the perfect moment when it's gone?"
"Barry" Caitlin chuckled at his babbling. She had a feeling she knew where Barry was going and could barely hold back her tears.
Barry took a deep breath. "I guess what I'm trying to say is…"
"Yes." Caitlin answered.
Barry blinked in confusion a few times. "Uh… I never got to ask my question."
"I'm sorry Barry, I already know the question." She reached into her pocket and pulled out the box with the ring. "I sort of found this the day you were put into your coma." She handed him the box.
Barry looked at it slightly dumbfounded. The ring was supposed to be a surprise but clearly it was out of the bag, now there truly was no going back. Barry smiled. With only a little difficulty, and some help from Caitlin, Barry was down on one knee with the ring box in one hand and Caitlin's free hand in the other. "I never thought I'd be doing this now."
"I'm just surprised you were planning on popping the question without that." Caitlin said as she gestured to the ring.
"Well, what do you say Dr. Snow?"
"Barry, and you already know my answer." Caitlin beamed a wide smile. "But I want to hear you ask it."
With a wide smile, Barry opened his mouth. "Caitlin Snow…" He opened the box. "We've been through a lot together and through it all you were always there for me. I know this may seem like I am doing this because the Universe is saying we are destined to be, but that's not the case. Nor is it because I am afraid of losing you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Caitlin because I love you." He took the ring out and hovered it over Caitlin's finger. "What do you say to spending the rest of our lives together? Caitlin, will you marry me?"
Through teary eyes Caitlin nodded vigorously. "Yes… god yes Barry…"
Barry slid the ring onto Caitlin's finger before the duo shared a passionate kiss. Their kiss lasted for a while neither one of them wanted to break it until the need for air forced them apart.
"So…"
"Home…" Caitlin breathed "Bedroom… now…"
"You sure…?" Barry panted
"I've never been surer in my life…"
Barry smiled and scooped Caitlin up despite the pain. Unbeknownst to either of the speedsters Barry's eyes flashed red for a moment and as he ran home with Caitlin some of his usual yellow lightning flickered black.
Central City, Godspeed's Lair
The sound of hoofs echoed through the room as a portal opened as a man came out. Well, one could not quite call him human since his lower half was that of a horse, to be precise chestnut colored shire horse. His upper body was muscular yet slim, but also bare while a mop of shaggy black hair covered his head. Tattooed into the center of his chest was a lightning bolt in a circle. If one were to get a decent a decent look at his face one could see it was completely wrapped in bandages, only his blue eyes were visible.
"Welcome to Earth-Prime." Lightspeed welcomed the new creature. "How do you feel?" Lightspeed asked the centaur.
The Centaur looked over his lower half and smiled beneath his bandages. "I am grateful for what you and Godspeed have done for me. I'll do anything you ask of me."
"Good, head into Central City, my master wants you to eliminate someone."
The Centaur cracked his neck and arms. "Just give me their name, and consider it done."
"Iris West." Lightspeed said
"Iris… West…" The centaur repeated the name and smiled beneath his bandages. Yellow lightning arced over his body as he tore out of the room in search of the reporter.
"Lucien." Lightspeed turned to see Godspeed standing before him. Humbled by his lord and master, Lightspeed dropped to his knees as if in the presence of a god, or rather the true God of Speed. "How goes our plan?"
"We are causing as much chaos as possible my lord." Lightspeed couldn't bring himself to look into Godspeed's masked face. "Though the Flash's allies have managed to defeat and lock away quite a number of our followers, more than I would like."
"That's fine, contact Puppet Master, tell him to make sure he gets MH-52 into the hands of James and Jaqueline Potts."
"But… milord, those two are cheaters…they are low level thieves serving time in Iron Heights."
"I don't care how long it takes, as long as they get the drug. We need them to activate their powers, once they do my plan cannot be stopped, no matter what The Flash and his friends do."
