I do not own
"Hey Kagome what's up?" Shippo said in Japanese
"Hey Shippo, how fast can you get to Central City?" She asked in Japanese
"Mmm…going in my demon speed…no less than an hour or so. Why?" He said
"I need your help in building a metahuman proof prison." She said
"Sounds interesting. I'm starting to like it." He said "So where am I building this prison at?"
Kagome sighed, knowing well he wasn't going to like this.
"At S.T.A.R labs." She said
"Seriously Kagome, are you kidding me. After what they did…wait. Does Sesshomaru know that you're there and near Wells?" He said
"Are you kidding me he called me before I could tell him. He was mad of course but he knew I won't turn away from family so he said to watch my back and not to underestimate him" She said "So please Shippo can you do this for me. For your mama."
He groaned, knowing well he can't say no when she brought that word up.
"Fine, I'll be there." He grumbled
"You're the best Shippo. See you soon, love ya." She said in English and turned to the others
They were talking about using the accelerator as the prison and Caitlin had strong emotion against it. Barry saw it and suggested for her to go with him to the police station to identify the poison to get her mind of it. Joe had gone with them since he had to go back to work and that left her alone with Cisco and Wells. Seeing that they were heading to the accelerator Kagome decided to look for this new bad guy with her powers. She sat down in a clear area with her legs crisscrossed and closed her eyes so she could focus on her powers. But not before placing a barrier around her to protect her and shield her from distraction and noises.
Outside the building you could see about a thousand serpent eyes created by water and then she send them out through the city. Then she used her miko powers to sense the metahumans auras. She felt a few of them all over the city and she send her eyes in there directions to see if they were the right ones. While this was happening she didn't realize how much time had passed and Harrison wheeled in the room and noticed her siting on the floor.
"Kagome?" He said
She didn't respond. He wheeled himself closer to her but he was stopped half way by an unknown force. He placed his hand on it and the pink barrier showed itself.
'Is this part of her powers?' He thought
Then he saw a pink glow glowing where her heart is. He could feel its power reaching out to him and hearing whispers of promises.
'Who is this girl?' He thought
"She won't hear you when she's in that state." A voice said
He turned around in his wheel chair and saw a young man that looked to be Barry's age with orange hair and green eyes.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?" Harrison asked
"This place isn't quite guarded you know. If this is supposed to be some secret lair you'll need to boost up your security systems. The names Shippo. Kagome called for me." Shippo said
"Oh yes, she told us you'll be coming." Harrison said "What did you mean she won't be able to hear when she's in this state?"
"It's a mediation stance. She using what I named the serpent eye technique. Forming eyes out of water and send them out in the city." Shippo said "It takes a lot of energy to focus on it so she shuts everything out."
"And this shield?" He asked still gently rubbing his hand over the barrier.
"She needs something to protect herself while in this state." Shippo shrugged, not wanting to explain about Kagomes miko powers.
Harrison knew that there was more to it but felt that he wasn't going to get any answers from him. He should have known better. The boy does work for Tashio so he must have warned his employees. Which would explain Kagomes' guarded side towards him. He had to form a way to earn her trust somehow if he's going to have her by his side. Suddenly Kagomes eyes opened and she gasped.
"I found him. He's at the mall." She said and got up from her stance. "Hey Shippo. You came just in time." She hugged him.
"Looks like it. Oh and you might need these." Shippo smirked
He took out a face mask that was similar to Sango's hunter gas mask and black goggles.
"Thanks Shippo. Be back in a flash." She said after putting them on
She zoomed out with her slayer suit on with a dark blue leather jacket and fingerless gloves, making her look like assassin. She hurried to the mall and she sensed Barry right behind her. They saw the dead lady by the elevator but Kagome kept on going since she knew where the bad guy was at. Barry was upset that the lady had died but once he saw Kagome going somewhere he followed after her. When they reached the bottom Kagome zoomed in front of the guys' path while Barry blocked the other side.
"Why did you kill that woman!?" Barry shouted
The man turned to him and she could hear the guy wheezing a few times.
"She deserved to die." The man said "Now, you and your friend go run away. I still have one more name on my list. Don't make me add you both to it."
That got Barry mad and tried to hit him but he turned into mist. The shock on Barry's face gave the guy enough time punch him but he completely forgot about Kagome. She did a sneak attack kick to his head and he would have crashed to wall but he went all misty again. Then the guy formed into a bigger cloud of poison and tried to hit them. They were in tight quarters so there wasn't room to move around in. Then the poison started moved and it went into Barry's body. Kagome was saved because of her gas mask.
When the poison was gone Kagome rushed over to Barry and laid him on the ground. She knew if she didn't take the poison out of him soon he will die. But she couldn't purify it because they needed to know what kind of poison the guy was. She formed some water and controlled it so it would go into his mouth and then guide it on the outside to his chest where she sensed where the poison was. Once she found it she placed a barrier around it in the water and took it out of him. When it was out of his system Barry coughed a few times before he started breath normally.
"Thanks." He said still taking deep breaths
"Anytime cuz." She said
They zoomed back the lab and gave Cisco and Wells the poison that was safely in a bottle.
"Oh man, my chest feels like that one time I had a cigarette." Barry said since his chest still hurt
Caitlin (who just got back) gave him a look.
"Yeah. Teen me lived for danger." Barry said "That was until Kagome and her mom caught and gave me ear full of a lecture."
"Hey smoking can kill you and can do a lot of damage to your body." Kagome glared
Shippo snickered but Caitlin didn't find it funny at all.
"Wow your right, she is uptight." Shippo said to Kagome in Japanese
Kagome giggled
"Now that we have his sample, we'll get to work." Harrison said "Analyze I, figure out the make-up of the poison, maybe get a clue as to his human identity."
"Or at least a way to stop him from turning into a mist." Cisco said and then smiled. "The Mist. Okay, that's his name. End of discussion."
"I think you and him are going to get along great." Kagome told Shippo
"No doubt. We had a good time brainstorming on making that prison that you asked for." Shippo said
She saw Barry trying to leave so he could talk to Joe but he was still weak and need to rest.
"Sit back down on that bed." She said pushing him back on the bed
"Kagome now is not the time to mother hen me." Barry said
"You're weak right now and you need to be at your full strength if you want to find a way to beat this guy." She said "Barry I know what you're feeling right now. The woman is dead but there's was nothing that we could've done."
"I should have been faster." He argued
"Just because you have the power to go fast doesn't mean you'll be able to save everyone on time. For every person you save, there's gonna be somebody you can't." She said "I know that guilty feeling Barry. I wasn't there on time for others when I had to fight off a monster. There are some things you can't fight and you're…you're just going have to live with."
Everyone was looking her again wondering what she had to face but only Shippo knew. Barry just assumed that she had faced a bad guy when he was in a coma and remembered that she had her powers longer than him so she should know. He placed a hand in hers and squeezed it a little with a nod of understanding. That made her smiled.
"Oh and I hope that you'll forgive me for this." She said
"For what?" He asked before he was knocked out
With fast reflexives she was able to pressed one of his pressure points and that made him fall asleep. She saw everyone looking at her with wide shock eyes while Shippo laughing.
"Hey you don't know him like I do. Even after that speech he was still gonna go. Stubbornness runs in the family." She said
"I can agree to that." Shippo smirked
