UPDATE: Oh, you guys actually wanted to read the chapter? Weird... well I guess I'll let you!

Thank you to Plutoa, marubang043, Einalem10, ImHereNowGone, nanohero2, and FatMac for following! I think this will be the last time I do shout outs unless it's a review or something, it's a bit hard to keep track of who is new.

This is the first nearly all action chapter! Sorry for all the exposition, now we get to some of the fun stuff! I hope I am doing the characters justice, but it is good to note that this is an alternate timeline/universe so some characters will probably act differently from their "Earth 1" counterparts. Wewill probably only be spending another couple chapters in this universe until we move to the next one… I mean… till the story ends. Yeah, that's it…

As you have probably noticed, I'm slowing down on updating and will probably limit it to one or two updates a week now. I just had a lot of free time and was super motivated when The Flash and Arrow came back.

Previously

A scowl took over Snart's features. Something was wrong, this man was different from the one he had fought over the years, foreign even. His body language was off, and the costume—

"You're not the Flash," He whipped his gun out and fired a stream of glacial energy at the imposter.

5 minutes ago

The city flew past them as Barry and Wally, both clad in their Flash suits, sped off towards the bank. Cisco had sent them to take the one that was farther away, obviously they would get their quicker than the others. Barry almost felt like he was back home, the streets were so familiar to him as they sped over the bridge to Keystone City.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a big grin break out over Wally's face. Barry had to admit, his smile was infectious. Despite only knowing Wally for less than 24 hours, he felt like he had known the other for years. Running alongside him felt right. But, like everything else in this universe, he knew it was wrong, that he didn't belong here. He knew this was supposed to be his life, but the Reverse-Flash took it all away.

But that was the past. Barry made his choice and he didn't regret it for a second. He noticed Wally giving him a questioning look. He quickly flashed him a smile to reassure him everything was fine. He could see that Wally wasn't convinced though. They continued on to the bank.

"Hey Wall— uh, Flash!" Barry yelled over the wind as they neared their location, "We'll need a plan for taking these guys out. We should case the bank, figure out what Snart is—"

"Not enough time," Wally retorted as he sped right through the front doors.

"Wait!" Barry yelled but he already heard a crash coming from inside the building. "I now know how Oliver felt…" He sighed while running around the side of the building. He found a utility entrance and ran in.

Now

Barry felt the air temperature in the room drop 30 degrees as he zipped out of the way of the blast to where Wally was recovering. He helped him up as Captain Cold turned around, aiming his weapon. They both sped out of the way as Cold fired. They ended up on either side of him. Cold stopped and looked at both speedsters. Barry was a bit shocked to see that he was smiling.

"Well, this is a surprise," Cold began, slowly turning towards Wally, "Replacing your old mentor after only a year? I thought he meant more to you than that."

"What can I say, Frosty?" Wally got into a battle position, smirk on his face, "I'm a team player."

"So am I," Snart said cooly. Barry's mind was racing trying to figure out what he meant when he heard a rush of wind behind him. Before he could turn around he was being lifted off the ground and sucked into a small tornado. He was finally flung into the railing on the second floor of the building before falling back to the first floor.

What the Hell…His vision was blurry and the room was still spinning as he tried picking himself up. He looked up to see the tornado slowing down enough to see a man was creating it. The man stepped up next to Snart. He wore a full body suit with green and yellow stripes running all around it. His head was covered with a mask while his nose and mouth were left uncovered, a smirk growing on his face.

"Guess you're not at the top of your game, are you Flash?" The man crossed his arms looking down at the fallen speedster. Wally groaned at the pun. He had seen the entire exchange and saw the look on Barry's face when he saw Roscoe Dillon, the Top. Barry seemed like he had never seen someone with his abilities before, which made Wally wonder if there was a version of Top in his universe. Wally brought his thoughts back to the situation at hand.

"Flash!" Wally was about to speed to Barry's side when a stream of fire pushed him back. He looked up to the second floor to see Mick Rory, A.K.A Heatwave aiming his gun at the speedster below. A wall of fire separated Wally from Barry and the Rogues. Wally stared at Barry; he wouldn't admit it, but he was terrified. He had just gotten Barry back, he didn't want to lose him again.

Heatwave made his way downstairs and was walking towards where Barry was recovering. Wally began spinning his arms at super speed to quell the flames. Once they were low enough he slammed into Heatwave, knocking him away from Barry.

Barry saw Wally over him, pulling him up. He ran them both behind a pillar as Heatwave recovered enough to fire at them. Captain Cold joined in, the extreme heat and cold destroying the pillar they were behind. Barry gently pushed Wally away, "Go, get them, I'll be fine in a sec."

Wally nodded hesitantly as he ran out from the cover of the pillar. Cold noticed him coming around to flank them. He nodded towards Heatwave who smiled and took aim at the speedster. Cold began walking towards the pillar the other Flash was hiding behind, followed by Top. Barry realized the shooting had stooped and took a deep breath as he ran out from cover.

Unfortunately, he ran right into the muzzle of Snart's cold gun. He fired and blew Barry back a few feet. The short burst of cold wasn't enough to kill him, but it hurt like Hell. Barry groaned as he tried to pick himself up, but a boot stomped down onto his chest. Cold leaned down, putting as much pressure as he could on the speedster lying in front of him. Barry glared at him, trying to push the crushing force off his chest but ceased when he came face to face with the cold gun.

Wally knocked Heatwave back avoiding the stream of flaming liquid pouring from his heat gun. He ran around Heatwave, trying to keep him on his toes. That's what Barry would do. It had the opposite effect— this strategy just made him mad. Heatwave snarled as he fired the heat gun off all around him, waving it madly in every direction. Wally noticed the fire quickly spreading on desks, across the floor, making its way to a pile of money sitting out that the Rogues had undoubtedly collected.

"Cool it, Hothead! That money is no good to you if you burn it all!" Wally punched Heatwave square in the jaw. With him down, he turned and ran circles around the fire as it slowly died. Wally, satisfied with his work, smiled and turned to see how Barry was doing with Cold and Top. His face fell as he saw Snart with is gun pointed at Barry's head.

"NO!" He yelled and was about to run to Barry's aid when Heatwave came up behind him. He cracked his gun across the back of Wally's head. Wally fell to the ground from the force of the hit. Wally's world was spinning as Heatwave picked him up, head in a chokehold, and his gun resting on his temple. Wally could barely see straight as Heatwave brought him in front of Captain Cold.

"You know Kid," Snart began. "When the Flash disappeared, I tolerated you taking up the mantle. After all, you were his sidekick, it made sense. But this," he pushed the speedster's head back with the muzzle of his gun, "is where I draw the line."

"I swear Cold, if you hurt him—" Wally began but was cut off when Heatwave held his neck tighter.

"You do know this isn't our Flash, right?" Cold asked incredulously, "Come now, Kid, even you can see he is different, slower, less confident." His cold gun began to whir as it powered up. He turned his attention back towards Barry, "A disgrace to the Flash's legacy… Just like you, Kid."

—

Barry had an idea. Not a good idea, but an idea nonetheless. He closed his eyes and began vibrating his molecules. He was searching for the right frequency, the perfect frequency. Cold noticed and pulled the trigger. Before the beam of ice could leave the gun, Barry had phased through the floor.

—

The Rogues and Wally all stared at where Barry had just been, dumbstruck. Cold stood contemplating what had just happened. Soon, they all heard what sounded like an explosion coming from the lower levels of the building. Cold turned to Top.

"Finish him off, I'll be there in a minute," Top nodded as he spun himself into a tornado and headed for the stairs. Cold turned back towards Wally to see that he had broken free from Heatwave's hold. Wally ran around Heatwave using rapid-fire punches. Heatwave swayed, dropping his gun as Wally stopped in front of him. He threw one last punch at his face, knocking him out. He then turned to glare at Captain Cold.

"Overreacting, don't you think? The Flash would have restrained himself," Cold aimed his gun and fired at Wally who dodged.

"You think you know the Flash better than me?" Wally fired back as he ran up to Cold. He was about to punch him when he was hit with the cold gun. The sudden loss of momentum caused him to roll across the floor. He rolled over in time to dodge another blast from the cold gun.

"I've been battling the Flash longer than you've had super speed," Snart said coldly.

"Yeah, you know so much about us," Wally was getting annoyed now. He continued dodging the beams of ice.

"Let me teach you a little lesson Kid," Cold stopped firing for a moment and Wally began running at him, "I respected your mentor. You want me to respect you? You'll need to earn it, and to earn it, you need to take charge."

As Wally neared Cold, he slipped on the ice, sliding right by him. Wally crashed again into the wall. Cold looked at hm condescendingly.

"Ever since you took up the mantle, you've been floundering along. You stopped cracking jokes and switched fighting tactics. If I didn't know better, I would say you were trying to be like him. There is only one problem with that Kid: you will never measure up," Cold said stepping toward Wally, "You will never be the Flash."

"Yeah, you keep saying," This wasn't the first time he has had this conversation with Cold. He was just trying to do what Barry would do. Obviously, he sucked at it.

"Consider this a lesson learned Kid," Cold pointed the gun at Wally. He slipped again as he tried to get into a running position. Cold smirked at the speedster.

—

Suddenly a body flew into Cold, knocking him to the floor. Cold pushed the body off him, finding it is Top. Top groaned as he is pushed off his teammate. Captain Cold looked up to see the imposter Flash running towards the Kid.

"For not being the genuine article, you do have a couple of surprises up your sleeve, don't you?" He said standing up. The imposter looked at Cold with a serious face. In a certain light, even Snart had to admit he looked a lot like is old adversary. He suddenly noticed a familiar face behind the two speedsters. His smile grew as he picked up Top and walked them both over to where Heatwave was still unconscious.

"It's over Cold," The imposter said unwaveringly. Oh how wrong he was.

"Hm…no I don't think so," He stated as a man stepped out of the reflection of the ice that had collected on the wall behind the two unsuspecting speedsters. He was clad in dark orange with a green mask over his head and green gloves and boots. In his hands he held a small gun. He aimed his gun towards the patch of ice the two were standing on and pulled the trigger. The Kid had turned around just in time to see the new player.

"Mirror Master?—" He was able to say before he and the imposter fell through the reflection in the ice. Mirror Master, or Sam Scudder as he was known, pointed back to the reflection he had come from.

"Mission accomplished," He pointed the mirror gun to the mirror covered ceiling of the bank. Blasting the mirror with the gun, he turned it into another end of the portal. The mirror rippled as the speedsters fell from it, landing in a heap on the floor.

Snart smiled at the humiliating little display. He lead Top to the mirror that Mirror Master came from and sent him through. He then picked up the recovering Heatwave and handed him off to Mirror Master who walked them both through the mirror. Captain Cold was the last one to enter, taking a moment to address the fallen heroes.

"Why don't you take a moment to reflect on this defeat, Kid!" Cold stepped through the mirror without a trace leaving the both Flashes in the middle of the battered bank.
