Part 45
"Death Watch have you gotten in yet?" asked Savitar
"No but I will keep trying. There is something familiar about this code. It looks like a combination of something I would write and Barbara Gordon of my earth." Said Death Watch
"So Oracle has been watching. I should have counted on that. This changes nothing. Keep trying there has to be a way in."
"Of course there is. I have yet to find anything I can't hack."
Savitar nodded and headed over to where Crystal was setting up her lab.
"You need anything?"
"Only someone to charge me up. You going to volunteer?"
"I don't have a death wish. I will find someone that we can blame the death of on this Earth's Ice Queen."
"Who are you thinking of Savitar?"
"Maybe this Earth's Iris West. The bitch that told me to go to hell more than once back on my Earth. The bitch that believed that I was nothing but trash. So one of my goals is to kill everyone of her doppelgangers for her rejection."
"Whatever you want darling. Just know that Firestrom is mine to destroy."
"That is what I promised you Crystal."
"Just making sure you don't forget it."
"I would never do that to you."
"Good because if you break your promise you will be nothing more than an ice cube."
Kate pulled out her phone and sent a text Barry when she, Bruce and Barbara reach the parking lot of Star Labs. As they exited the van there was a whoosh and Barry stood in front of them.
"Barry meet my cousin Bruce Wayne and our friend Barbara Gordon." Said Kate
"I'm Barry Allen. We can go in and head to the cortex where Barbara can do her thing." Said Barry
"How many people are part of your extended team Mr. Allen?" asked Bruce
"Officially my team is myself, my wife Caitlin, her sister Charlie, Charlie's fiancée Ronnie, my sister Jesse, Wally, and Cisco. But my dad knows, so do Detectives Joe West and Eddie Thawne. Caitlin's parents Dr. Carla Tannhouser and Dr. Thomas Snow who is not dead but was locked away after an experiment went wrong. Two CSIs I work with Patty Spiviot and Julian Albert also know and Ralph Dibney who just rejoined the team and works as a PI." Said Barry
"So Iris doesn't know?" asked Kate
"No she doesn't and there are currently no plans to bring her in."
"Never thought that would happen."
"Yeah well Caitlin and I met in college and well the rest is history. Any ideas who might be trying to hack in?"
"The code reminds me of Overwatch. But it also has elements of the Calculator and Caden James." Said Barbara
"Well uh you probably already know this but Noah Kuttler aka the Calculator is Felicity Smoak's father." Said Barry
"True but she has had no contact with him in this universe. Yes Kate had all our memories on team Bat restored. No this is even dark for him. I am thinking a doppelganger of Felicity from some Earth where she is a cyber terrorist."
"So you think there is an Earth where all the heroes are evil?" asked Barry
"That would mean that my crazy sister would be sane and I would be the crazy one." Said Kate
"That would also make the Joker the hero of Gotham." Said Bruce
"That would be like having the Tricksters or Gorilla Grodd as a hero." Mumbled Cisco as they entered the cortex.
"Do I even want to know who the Tricksters are?" asked Kate
"Father and son. James Jesse and Axle Walker our Central City's answer to the Joker." Said Barry
"And Gorilla Grodd?" asked Barbara
"Giant insane telepathic meta gorilla. Though he has at least for now given up trying to destroy Central City and killing Barry. He decided to retire to Gorilla City somewhere deep in an African jungle." Said Caitlin
"Don't forget King Shark." Said Cisco
"King Shark was not so bad once Dr. Tanya Lamden was able to reach his human side with that telepathic crown." Said Caitlin
"Until Grodd stole it and tried to use it to destroy the city." Said Barry
"Shay Lamden did choose to become King Shark again to stop Grodd. Maybe we should see if we can find him and offer to cure him again. New Earth so the cure should work." Said Charlie
"Already working on that." Said Cisco
"I should get to work on those firewalls." Said Barbara
Barbara steered her wheelchair over to one of the computers and started to type a way faster then anyone on team Flash had even seen Felicity type.
"So Caitlin instead of sharing a body with Frost now she is your twin?" asked Kate
"Pretty much. Though for some reason I get the feeling that Charlie and I met you and Barbara before on this Earth." Said Caitlin
"You did. As well as Kate's sister Beth while she was still sane. We went to the same summer camp when you were nine. I had just turned ten. We shared a cabin with the Lance sisters from Star City and Alex Danvers. This was before Kara arrived on this Earth." Said Barbara
"Well only one girl out of eight being driven crazy that isn't so bad." Said Ronnie
"Do you have a training room? I want to see if you can keep up with me without relying on your speed Barry." Said Bruce
"Um yeah." Said Barry
Caitlin walked over to a table and picked up a cuff and placed it on Barry's wrist turning it on so it glowed blue.
"A meta power dampener. He has used it to train with Oliver before." Said Caitlin
Bruce nodded and Barry led the way to the locker room so they could change into workout clothes. Caitlin headed to the training room to keep an eye on things in case Barry got hurt. Once they were gone Charlie turned to Kate Kane.
"Kate how do you feel about helping to fund an art gallery that will be open to everyone. Human, alien, meta no matter a person's sexual orientation?" asked Charlie
"You mean like your bar?" asked Kate
"Yeah."
"I am open to the idea. I might even convince Brue to donate as well. Just make sure you have state of the art security."
"Plan to especially if any of the art features cats. Just in case a certain female cat burglar with a fetish for dressing up as a cat decides to visit this city."
"I don't think you need to worry about Ms. Kyle. She has for the most part given up crime." Said Bruce as he headed out.
"Bruce, you are going to invest in Charlie Snow's new art gallery." Said Kate
Barbara smirked as she typed. Kate Kane was probably the only one besides Bruce's late mother and possibly Kate's own late mother that could speak to him like that and get away with it. Barbara wasn't even sure Alfred would get it away with it.
