It had to happen, but I wasn't expecting it for another month or so, the weather wizard. I forget his actual name, but effectively he's a metahuman who can control weather, and it's related elements. He can form ice, create massive tidal surges, throw lightning, and form storms and tornadoes. I just hope Barry will be ready this time, because he's definitely had more training than originally.
"Cisco, did you set up the satellites to scan for sudden pressure changes?"
"Yes, but this is really weird, it's like there's a storm cloud building over the central city mint and only the mint."
"Good, Tell Barry to meet me there, this is one meta we need to stop, fast." I raced over there now moving at nearly two hundred miles per hour as I surfed on the electromagnetic fields I generated around my body, riding the currents generated by the earth's geomagnetic field to give me increased speed. It was obvious when I was getting close, there was hale outside raining down damaging cars with Barry Dodging as much of it as he could while his opponent continued hurling wind, rain, ice, and even lightning at him, the latter of which was re-directed harmlessly away which eased my concerns.
"This ends here, Mardon!, I won't let you go any further!" I practically facepalmed as the ever stereotyped line was delivered before another bolt of lightning struck the ground near Barry, this time though I channeled it towards me and absorbed a large chunk of it using it to increase my strength.
"Flash, I'll deal with his lightning, just get in close and stop Mardon!" Another bolt was captured by me, this time hurling towards the clouds, as I started using it to channel and change the polarity to force its charge to repel against Barry's positive electromagnetic field. The bolts were now coming towards my negative charge and refusing to strike towards him feeding my own power and making it stronger, increasing the strength of my own electrical field and creating a plasma barrier to vaporize any ice thrown my way. Within moments with Mardon distracted he was captured by Barry who managed to restrain him before I applied a low voltage charge to knock him out. I figured the police could handle him at this point, and people were cheering as they left the bank with no one injured.
Barry of course vanished in a flash with me holding Mardon and loading him into the car with ease, wrapping his legs in a piece of damaged steel rod to keep him from simply running away. The police seemed nervous, but I gave them a salute before I took off back to S.T.A.R. Labs not saying a single word, the quick domino mask created by Cisco hiding my face for use in such situations. It wasn't more than maybe ten minutes before I got back, Barry having gotten there first of course and was retelling the story.
"And that was when he actually turned the lightning into a shield, rendering even the rocks and ice useless, so I could grab him."
"I still think you were the real hero, Barry" I stated, entering the room and stretching before sitting down on one of the office chairs.
"After all, you went running into danger, I was mostly backup, as it should be, flash. This is your city, you need to continue to get stronger, and continue training, so you can take threats like Mardon solo." he seemed a bit disheartened that I wouldn't be staying long term, but I had to stick around for a bit, someone had to guide him and Eobard wasn't exactly benevolent either.
"What, you thought I'd stick around forever? You know I need to go home eventually, I just don't know how yet. I'm a very long ways from there, worlds away, you could say."
"I've been thinking about that actually" this time Cisco chimed in, he'd been studying multiverse theory since I trusted him with my own secret, and I knew Eobard would have figured it out anyway. Still, it was difficult asking for help even when I was a normal human, now? Well I knew this was likely one of the few ways home since Oliver had yet to locate John Constantine.
"If each earth is separated by a vibrational frequency, then it might be possible to locate your earth if we can identify it. What's interesting is your quantum particles seem to have a double frequency shifting between them depending on how much energy you're channeling."
"Ok, then the question remains, is one of those frequencies different to the quantum frequency of your earth?"
"Yes, however I've yet to figure out how to lock onto it and open a breach between them, furthermore it's really radically different, it must be really far away from ours."
"I'm not surprised Cisco, I mean on my earth you guys are straight out of a work of fiction, same as Captain America, or the hulk is on yours. Still, if you can figure out how to construct an Einstein Rosenbridge and stabilize it, I might be able to get back." This was really my only actual hope, but I knew it would take time, and Cisco was a long ways away from realizing his own powers. Still that gave me an idea, I did offer to teach Cisco the mental focus and meditation techniques I'd learned, but I wasn't quite sure how I would go about activating his vibe powers. One thing I realized was with my body was vibrating at two frequencies now, I might be able to trigger it if I expose him to the other frequency.
"I really appreciate the help Cisco, If I manage to get home I'll probably have a lot of work to do to save my own world." I reached out to shake his hand, gripping his arm as I began raising my energy frequency, careful not to channel all but a small amount down that arm.
"Zalost what are you" he paused as I saw him distracted for a moment.
"Barry and I aren't the only metas in this room Cisco, I told you before, your lives are works of fiction back home, and I wanted to test something. So what did you see?"
"That was, I don't know what that was, but there were signs everywhere, it looked like you on them but, you were missing."
"Congrats, Cisco, you just got a glimpse of my earth. Your power, the power of connecting to other worlds, is just beginning."
"Yeah, hey, next time, give me a heads-up before you go doing something like that."
"Of course." It felt good to get this started, he might be able to help me return home, given enough time, since the distances were obviously way larger than he'd ever traveled in the show. I was starting to wonder about the nature of the timeline as well, as I'd been making changes since I got here, my knowledge
