The Wicked Witch waited for her cue. Her main concern was trying not to think about the ethics of what they were doing. Whatever happened, she was protecting Jem. She had to remember that. The air vibrated and she knew Hartley was firing his sound waves. She was up.
She walked towards the meta-human, and focused her powers. He was trapped in a field of gravitational potential energy, and she had to hold it until Eobard got there.
Michael Sparks wasn't sure what was happening, but he did know he wasn't happy about it. This teenage girl had him trapped in a forcefield or whatever. He caused explosion after explosion behind her but she didn't react. Suddenly there was a strong gust of wind and he was in some sort of lair. A man in a yellow leotard was tying him to a chair. "Who are you? What is happening?" Michael asked.
The man smirked. "All in good time, Mr Sparks."
Claudia waited for Eobard to take her back to the lair. Since her kidnapping they hd moved to a new lair and she wasn't allowed to know where it was. Her watch vibrated indicating an incoming call. "Hello?" she answered. After a second typing appeared on the screen 'Claudia are you ok?'
"Yes, I'm alright. Listen, I don't know where the lair is, but there are a lot of pipes."
'That's ok. We will find you, don't worry.'
"If I don't do as Eobard says he will kill Jem. Don't do anything dangerous. I have to go, before Eobard gets here."
'Bye. Love Jem x'
She hung up, and fought back tears. Why did she want to cry now, and not when she had been kidnapped by a psychopath from the future? I just hope they find me soon, she thought. Something moved just in her field of vision, and she immediately turned to face them and froze them using her powers. They were some sort of man in a black suit not unlike Barry's.
"Who are you?" she asked, fear welling up inside her. Blue lightning was running up and down their body, and she realised their suit covered their lips. "Ouch!" she explained as something nipped her shoulder. Unable to risk glancing down to see what it was, Claudia kept her eyes on this dangerous threat. She had a strong feeling her forcefield wouldn't hold them for long. That's when it hit her, and she started feeling tired. Then her legs gave out under her.
…..
The world blinked into focus. "Sorry about tranquilising you," signed Hartley.
Claudia sat up, head ringing. "No kidding." She looked around, she was back in their top-secret lair. "Wait, did you just sign?"
Hartley nodded. "Eobard has been teaching me," he signed, or tried to anyway.
"You just said 'Eobard has been eating me'. I should sincerely hope he hasn't!" laughed Claudia.
Hartley rolled his eyes and went back to speaking. "Eobard wanted to make sure you didn't do anything stupid and get yourself killed by Zoom."
"Who?"
"Zoom."
Claudia shook her head.
Hartley spelt it in sign language, Z-O-O-M.
"Is he that creepy guy in the black flash suit?"
Hartley nodded.
"Does Eobard know him or something?" asked Claudia, standing up.
"Yes he-" began Hartley but Claudia cut him off with a wave of her hand.
"I wasn't asking you."
They have been working together. I overheard them plotting to kill you! said Grodd in her head.
"That's…not good."
"What isn't?" asked Hartley. Claudia was staring off into the distance with an expression of pure horror on her face. He tapped her arm, dragging her attention forwards. "What's not good?"
And him as well.
"Eobard and Zoom are planning to kill us," she signed, hoping Hartley would be able to understand her, since she didn't want to risk being overheard.
From his eyes widening, Claudia guessed he did.
"We have to do something," he whispered. Claudia nodded.
I have a plan, said Grodd to both of them.
