Chapter 2: Chasing the Harlequin

Central City

18:34

As the sun sets in Central City, Wally West better known as Kid Flash speeds his way up to a bank where a robbery occurred. According to what he had heard a girl dressed up in a clown suit was trying to steal money from the bank vaults while holding the people inside as hostages, threatening to blow the bank up with a bomb.

Kid Flash thought to himself, "Well whoever that girl is she has got some serious issues, first of all, dressed up like a clown? A Joker wannabe probably."

This time Kid Flash was on his own, because Barry Allen, his uncle and mentor was in a mission with the Justice League. Kid Flash had no problem with this however. Because what's the worse that's gonna happen?

He finally reached Central City Bank. As he entered several people came running out of the building, some of them have bombs strapped into them and some have comical masks on their faces.

"These are probably distractions, but I can't take my chances, those bombs might be real and might go off, and yet the crook is probably behind one of those masks. This girl is smart."

Kid Flash swirls around the civilians, pulling off masks and removing bombs as he does. Kid Flash took a good look at the bomb he just removed and discovered they were fake.

Suddenly Kid Flash saw the girl, who was at the entrance of the bank. She was holding a grenade, which she threw at Kid Flash's way.

Relying on his reflexes, he took the grenade and used his speed and strength to threw the grenade far enough to save the surrounding civilians from harm.

He turned his attention back to the girl, who was running inside the building.

Kid Flash rushes into the building and unknowingly steps into a trap. He walks into a pile of water and he slipped.

He gets up and the girl suddenly runs towards him. With a taser.

A shock of electricity jolted Kid Flash's nerves. He staggered down to the floor.

"What's the matter? Shock slowed you down?"

Kid Flash turned his face to the girl. "Who are you?" he asked.

"Call me Harlequin. Everyone does."

Harlequin kicked Kid Flash's ribcage and left the bank. She was carrying a sack, probably full of money.

Pain sears through Kid Flash's side. Only for a short time though, just as he has very fast metabolism, so was his ability to heal.

Harlequin stole a car and drove away from the bank. And also threw a smoke bomb to cover her tracks from the cops that were chasing her.

Kid Flash however took a different route while chasing Harlequin and caught up with her car.

Harlequin stopped the car and pulled out a strange-looking gun from her pocket.

The gun fired a sonic-wave which made Kid Flash feel disoriented for a few minutes, which was enough for Harlequin to take out a sledgehammer from the sack she carries and strike him with it.

Kid Flash was once again knocked-down to the ground.

"Oh, you're not so much fun. I had way more fun with Artemis than you."

A chill run down Kid Flash's spine. Did she say she was with Artemis? Did she attack her? Is Artemis all right? Where is she now.

Kid Flash got up with an angry and cold look on his face, "What did you do to her." He said sternly.

"Oh don't worry, I'm sure she's alright. It's not like the tranquilizer dart I put on her neck was gonna kill her."

Wally was enraged he rushed towards Harlequin, who reflexively dodges the attack. She pulls a whip which was on her leg and flings it into Kid Flash's neck.

She pulled him with the whip. Kid Flash falls to the ground again and she plants her heels on his chest.

"Time for me to leave now Sweety Speedster. Have a nice evening." Harlequin stomps on Kid Flash's face with her boot, knocking him out.

Harlequin walks away from the scene as night sets on Central City.
