So...short, I know. But I was in a hurry and I wanted to get it to you guys. :/ Anyway, I hope you like this, because things are gonna' start getting good soon. ;) I recommend listening to like Gasoline by Halsey, or to Get Out Alive by Three Days Grace; I listened to them while writing this, and think they just make it better. :) Anyway (again), I hope this isn't to rushed, and that you still like it. Just let me know what your thoughts are and I'll love ya' for life. ;)

"Talk to me, Felicity." Oliver declared as he and Barry entered the back of the building in the darkness. At least it was at night that the meta had decided to rob the bank; no innocents could get in the way or be harmed.
"Okay, so it seems that she's destroyed most of the security cameras in the place, but we can still track her movements by her heat signature." Felicity stated.
"Ooh, that's a good idea. What kind of tech do you use?" Oliver could hear Cisco's voice come in through the comms and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He heard Barry chuckle quietly in amusement, before Felicity replied.
"You won't believe it. We actually use-"
"Felicity." Oliver stated, one word enough to stop the both. "Position?"
"Right; sorry. It would seem as if, of course, the meta is in the bank vault. If you go in now, she should be distracted enough for you to take her down. Just remember; do not let her touch you. And the serum is there if you need it."
Felicity said, and Oliver inhaled briefly, exchanging a look with Barry, before pulling his bow up and preparing for the fight that would surely take place before him; keeping a small part of awareness in the back of his mind of the fact that the serum was in his pocket in case he needed it.
This was it. It was time to change the future. At precisely the same moment, both Oliver and Barry burst into the bank vault to see a woman with long, brown hair standing in the middle of it; almost as if she was expecting them to be here. And Oliver couldn't help but notice the weapon in her hand.
"Took ya' long enough." The meta sighed in annoyance. "Back for round two since the first one was so fun?" She questioned, a smirk on her face.
"Okay, you need to subdue her by knocking her out; her powers shouldn't work then. It's if she touches you that they work." Cisco said through the comms.
"Put the gun down." Oliver ground out; voice low and unrecognizable.
"Whatever you say," Crystal said, slowly bending down and beginning to place her weapon on the ground; watching them the entire time, before suddenly, she just disappeared into thin air. Oliver couldn't help the slightly startled feeling in his chest as he could a couple steps back along with Barry; scanning their surroundings.
"You didn't tell me she could do that." Oliver ground out, and Barry shook his head rapidly, still looking around and behind them.
"I-I didn't know, either," Barry said, words rushed. Before either could ask through the comms where the meta was at, suddenly Oliver heard a sickening snap as Barry cried out in pain; falling to the ground and Oliver immediately reacted by turning and aiming an arrow at where the presumed attacker's position would be.
"Not very vigilant for a vigilante." A voice said in slight disgust, and Oliver immediately turned towards it, only to see the girl standing in her previous spot; holding the front of her pistol in her hand. Oliver tried to ignore the harsh sounds of breathing coming beside him as Barry hissed in pain from his prone position on the floor.
"He's not gonna' be going anywhere on that leg for a while," She declared in feigned pity, and Oliver didn't waste a moment before he shot three arrows towards his target; only for her to teleport someplace else and the arrows to penetrate the walls instead. Oliver quickly reached back towards the quiver for another arrow, when he felt his heart drop; all he felt was air.
He had no more arrows.
And of course, there she stood on the other side of the room; holding his quiver of arrows with a smirk. "Not today, I'm afraid." The meta-human declared, wagging one of her fingers in front of her in a taunting gesture, before she teleported once more, reappearing with the bag of money in her hand.
Beside him, Barry struggled to stand up; his leg bent at an unnatural angle. "Until the next time we meet; maybe your friend here will be feeling a bit better. Poor fella'." She said with a mock pout, before smirking at the look that Barry shot towards her.
She blew a chaste kiss with her hand towards Barry, before standing and smirking at Oliver; fully aware that there wasn't much he could do with out his arrows since he couldn't touch her. "Au revoir!" And with that she was gone.
"Cisco-"
"Down the hall towards the left," Cisco cut him off, knowing exactly what he wanted, and Oliver didn't hesitate in running towards that direction, bending down on the way to grab his quiver of arrows; fully aware of the consequences if they don't catch her. And one of them was writhing in pain in the room behind him.
"If you get her trapped at the end of the hallway, you should be able to catch her. She's like Baez; she can only teleport where she can see." Oliver continued to run down the dark hallway, skidding to a stop as he reached the end; a feeling of dread entering his chest. It was empty.
"Oh, God..." He heard a voice come through the comms.
"Cisco, whe-"
"She didn't go down that hallway," Cisco said, and Oliver felt his jaw clench as he awaited the next words. "She got away."
So, as randomfandoms815 pointed out: I totally forgot to put when this is supposed to be, lol. So I'm not really sure about Arrow, but for the Flash it's a little while after season 2, but it's kind of an AU, because I'm going to say it's before Harrison Wells and Jay. So I hope that clears it up. ;) And remember; reviews keep me going!
