Gods Among Us
Chapter 5:
Central City
"Well, whatever it is. We're gonna find it." Shane said as he turned his head and looked at the screen. A frown formed on his face as he saw the satellite image of the cloud moving faster than they had seen before.
"Is it just me or is that cloud moving?" Cisco said.
"Fast." Caitlin said in shock.
"And towards us." Barry said.
"What the Fu-" Shane was saying but was cut off as Barry said something.
"That thing is up on the roof."
"I think it found us." Cisco said as he, Caitlin and Shane all turned to look at Barry who took a deep breath before he disappeared taking his suit before anyone else could even blink. A few seconds later, Barry stood on the roof of STAR Labs standing across from Markos. Both men were staring each other down with neither one backing down.
"Bring him to me. Bring me Yeager. And no one has to get hurt."
"You know usually when someone says that, someone gets hurt."
"That's because you humans don't listen."
"What do you want with him?"
"Something that doesn't concern you."
"When you come onto the rooftop of my building and demand for me to bring you another human, it becomes my business."
"Mr. Yeager has the knowledge that can help me eliminate a threat."
"You seem like a pretty powerful dude, I think you can handle it on your own." The Flash had turned his back to Markos and prepared to run away but Markos spoke up stopping him in his tracks.
"Bring him to me now!" Barry turned around to look at Markos who had clenched his fsit and changed his form. It was looking he was getting ready for a fight.
"The answer is still no."
"Which one?"
"Excuse me"
"I only need to break one of your legs. So which one?" Flash smirked as Markos dashed towards him looking for a punch but The Flash ducked it and ran behind him before appearing in front of Markos hitting him with a few stomach jabs following up with a left hook and taking off again hitting Markos in the back with a knee. He ran again this time hitting Markos with a shoulder blow to the abdomen backing him up a bit causing him to drop to a knee.
Flash came running in trying to hit Markos with a kick to the head but Markos caught it and flew up in the air holding Flash up by the leg as he hung upside down. Markos spun around creating a cyclone before he threw Flash off into the roof of a car. Markos looked down and flew down landed on the hood of the car as he stood over Flash. He wrapped his hand around his neck starting to choke him.
"Take me to him now." Markos said. Flash gasped for his breath as Markos clenched his throat even tighter. Markos grunted as his eyes started to glow as the powerful bue electricity coursed through his veins and into his eyes. He raised his fist into the air as clouds began to cast the sky. From those clouds, a bolt of lightning came striking down onto Markos' raised fist.
"Last chance." Markos said as Flash shook his head.
"Wait!" Shane shouted as he came running outside stopping Markos. Markos let go of Flash as the electricity faded. Flash regained his breath and snuck a jab in on Markos while Markos was focued on Shane. Markos turned his head to Flash and chuckled and turned back to look at Shane.
"What is it that you want?"
"I need your help. There is a threat coming. A threat coming to destroy my world and destroy me."
"You seem pretty damn capable of defending yourself."
"Not against this threat. He's much stronger than I am. And you're the only one on this planet who has any knowlodge on the Tarrin species." It was almost like what Markos had said triggered something in Shane. Shane looked Markos up and down and frowned.
"I'm sorry did you say Tarrin? As in species from the planet Tarr?"
"Yes, I did."
"And judging from the lightning, that would make you Markos, the God of Thunder, Lightning and Strength."
"And don't forget Fertility and Honor, people forget those are also mine."
"This has been prophicized for years. Most people thought I was wasting my time by looking into the Tarr, it was believed to be fake. But here you are and now I know it's real. You're real."
"Yeah, now I don't have much time so if you can help me let's get started." Markos said as he hopped off the car and walked towards Shane extending his hand out to him. Shane shook Markos hand while Flash had gotten off the car and stood next to Markos.
"Just know next time, I'm gonna kick your ass." Flash said to Markos as he then ran off inside the building. Markos chuckled as he and Shane then started to walk into STAR Labs.
