Leave a review after reading, please. (Anything but "please update" or anything similar)

Thanks to Jerry for the recent review.

Back at the West household, Iris begins serving eggnog to Barry and Joe.

"Here you go, dad. Grandma Esther's recipe. Light on the bourbon," said Iris, giving Joe his cup.

Joe takes a sip. "Man, I always loved her definition of light."

"And my very own special eggnog for Barry," said Iris, giving Barry his cup.

Barry takes a sip and smiles. "I love this so much."

Joe gets a message on his phone. It was from the SCPD.

"Sorry, kids. Duty calls," said Joe.

"Is this about The Arrow?" asked Iris.

"No, it's about Captain Cold and his two flunkies," said Joe. "Be sure to leave some of that eggnog."

After Joe leaves, Barry watches the news about The Arrow murdering Mayor Altman. He still couldn't believe what he is hearing. He looked up to the Arrow, called him a hero, and even gave him some advice about identity concealment. If he did murder the mayor, he might have to be the one to bring him.

"Still think he's a hero?" questioned Iris.

"I just can't believe he would do this," said Barry. "Doesn't The Arrow only go after corrupt rich folk?"

"Well, either Mayor Altman was a scumbag all along or The Arrow just lost his mind," said Iris. "C'mon. Help me with the tree."

Barry joins Iris in putting the final decorations on the Christmas tree.

"Hey, I heard the Flash saved you earlier," said Barry.

"At least he showed up," replied Iris sarcastically.

"I'm really sorry," apologized Barry. "I wish I can say I promise I'll never be late again, but..."

"You'd just end up breaking it again," interrupted Iris.

"I know. I'm sorry," said Barry.

"Seems to me like a have a superhero stalker," said Iris. "It's like whenever I'm in trouble, the Flash would always be there."

"Well, stalker or not, it's nice that he's looking out for you," said Barry. "I feel grateful for him. Joe should be, too."

"I just wish I can have one minute with him. I have so many questions," said Iris.

"Like who he is under the mask?" replied Barry.

"I think he would rather keep that a secret," said Iris. "I have other questions besides his secret identity."

"Well, unless you can shine his symbol in the sky, getting one minute with him seems impossible," joked Barry.

"So, what about you? How are things with this 'mystery girlfriend' of yours?" asked Iris.

"We haven't seen each other in a while," said Barry.

"But Christmas is coming. Surely, you two have to get together," said Iris.

"Why? So you can embarrass me in front of her?" guessed Barry.

"I just want to get to know her. I don't mean to sound like an overprotective sister, but I just really want to know who stole my adoptive brother's heart," said Iris.

"Why? Jealous?" teased Barry.

Iris chuckles in response.

After they were finished decorating the tree, Iris grabs two gift boxes and drags Barry to the couch.

"But it's not Christmas yet," said Barry.

"I know, but I couldn't wait any longer," said Iris.

Iris excitedly opens the gift Barry got for her. It was a little box. She opens it and found two bronze rings on a gold chain. She recognized them.

"My mother's wedding band?" asked Iris, surprised.

"A replica, yeah," said Barry. "You were devastated when you lost the real one."

"Our fifth grade field trip to the zoo," remembered Iris.

Barry offered to put it on for her. Iris gives the wedding band to Barry and lets him put it around her neck like a necklace. Iris looks at it and smiles at Barry. She then gives him a hug, telling him how much she loves his gift.

"Man, my gift sucks so much in comparison," said Iris.

Barry opens his gift from Iris. It was a stuffed bear holding a heart-shaped card that says "I love you".

"I thought maybe you could give it to your mysterious girlfriend," said Iris.

"So, your gift to me is an idea for a gift for my girlfriend?" asked Barry.

"It's lame, I know," said Iris, feeling embarrassed.

"No, no, it's cute, really," said Barry honestly. "I think she'll like it. It's a bit too Valentine's Day, though."

Iris' phone beeped. She received a message from Eddie.

"I gotta go," said Iris. "Eddie wants to meet up at Jitters."

"Maybe he's done keeping his distance," said Barry.

"I hope so," said Iris.

Meanwhile, in a warehouse somewhere in Silverstone City, Captain Cold and Golden Glider sat down while Heat Wave was trying to open the metal crate. His Heat Gun won't melt it and a hammer could barely make a dent in it. He tried using a crowbar, but it still won't open.

"A little help would be nice," said Heat Wave.

Captain Cold immediately fires his Cold Gun at the crate, causing it to shatter to pieces, revealing the technology inside.

"What is it?" asked Heat Wave.

"Leverage."

The three rogues turned their heads at the direction where they heard the mysterious voice. They see a white-haired woman dressed in blue.

"Hi, boys and girl," she greeted.

"Who are you?" asked Heat Wave, pointing his Heat Gun at her.

"You don't want to do that, big boy," said the girl. "I love the heat as much as I love the cold."

"You're the one who hired us," guessed Captain Cold.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Killer Frost," said the girl.

"Something wrong with your voice?" asked Golden Glider, confused and astonished.

"It's a part of my transformation," said Killer Frost.

"You're a metahuman," guessed Captain Cold.

Killer Frost raises her hand and creates a snowflake, confirming his guess.

"Where's the money?" asked Heat Wave.

Killer Frost takes her other hand out from behind her back and reveals a briefcase. She puts it down on a table and opens it. The three rogues see what's inside.

"This is only half of what you promised," said Captain Cold.

"You'll get the other half when the job is done," said Killer Frost.

"The Maxwell Lord job," guessed Golden Glider. "The security in the place has been tightened since the attempted bombing."

"Which is why we're gonna offer this piece of tech to Lord in exchange for Project Kr," said Killer Frost.

"What makes you think he'll accept it?" asked Captain Cold. "Lord has all the resources and technology he needs."

"That's why I have a second backup plan," said Killer Frost.

At a secret fight club, the crowd were watching a fist fight between Lester Buchinsky and Ben Turner. Unbeknownst to the crowd, Oliver Queen was present. He hides himself by wearing a hood over his head. The fight ends with Turner beating Lester after only thirty seconds. Those who bet on Turner collect their money.

Oliver heads to the bar and orders a club soda.

"I'm glad you could make it," he said to someone.

Oliver's friend turns out to be Anatoly Knyazev.

"Glad I could make it," said Anatoly. "Heard news. You too good of man to kill mayor."

"It's a copycat archer," explained Oliver. "I need you to find him."

"You know you can always count on Bratva to help," said Anatoly. "But I wonder. Why not ask Flash or Supergirl for help? They seem nice."

"The Arrow is the most wanted man in Silverstone City, which means they'll be after me, too," said Oliver.

"'The Arrow'? I like it," commented Anatoly. "Sounds better than Kapiushon."

"My friend thinks a new name will help me with my status as a hero," said Oliver.

"Friend?" questioned Anatoly. "I thought you want to keep 'hood' secret?"

"Well, apparently, I can't do this alone," said Oliver. "So, now I have a partner."

"Good," said Anatoly. "Can't save city yourself."

"Mogu ya doveryat' tebe?" asked Oliver.

"Ty moy brat. Konechno vy mozhete," replied Anatoly.

"Dobroy nochi," said Oliver.

"Ty tozhe," said Anatoly.

Oliver finishes his drink and leaves a dollar on the counter before exiting the place.

Barry arrives at S.T.A.R. Labs to send a gift to the crew.

"What's in the bag?" asked Caitlin.

"This is compliments of Iris," said Barry, taking out a big thermos. "Her very own special eggnog."

"That's what I'm talking about," said Cisco, eager to try.

"Well, I'd love to stay, but I can't. I have to go the mall and buy a gift for my daughter," said Wells.

After Wells left, Barry sits down and checks on news articles about The Arrow on the computer.

"Are you sure you still want to go through this crazy plan of yours?" asked Caitlin.

"Yes, I do," said Barry. "If I just run into Lord Technologies, cameras will get a shot of yellow lightning and know it's the Flash. I don't want to end up like The Arrow."

"Speaking of The Arrow, aren't you gonna go after him?" asked Caitlin.

"I was thinking about it," said Barry

"Barry, that man killed the mayor," reminded Caitlin.

"I know what he did," said Barry. "I just... it won't be easy. I looked up to him. He is part of the reason why I run around the streets saving people."

"Well, you're gonna have to turn off the fanboy and turn on the hero. He needs to be brought to justice," said Caitlin.

"If you are gonna fight him, take him to a place with security cameras. I'd love to watch," said Cisco.

Barry chuckles while Caitlin rolls her eyes. While Caitlin and Cisco go about their business, Barry continues reading the article about The Arrow murdering the mayor. Once again, he contemplates on whether or not he should go after him.

Later that night, The Arrow was back out on the streets. He was currently stationed on top of Merlyn Global.

"I thought I told you to lay low," said Laurel.

"My contact got a lead on the copycat," said The Arrow.

"And you think Malcolm Merlyn has any ideas?" asked Laurel. "Look, the man may not be the world's greatest father, but he's an upstanding businessman. He wouldn't be involved in organized crime."

"I don't want to do this, Laurel, but if Merlyn is involved, I have to know," said The Arrow.

"Fine. But you're on your own," said Laurel. "I got other things to take care of."

"You mean spy on my mother?" guessed The Arrow.

"Walter disappeared after finding your mother's copy of The List. I don't think that's a coincidence," said Laurel. "Just be gentle with Malcolm. You already have a target on your head for what happened to the mayor."

Laurel turns off the comm-link and leaves the bunker.

The Arrow looks through his binoculars and sees Malcolm Merlyn getting into his limo. He fires a zipline and zips towards the next building. He jumps from rooftop to rooftop, following the limo. He keeps on jumping to the lower rooftop, intending to get closer to the ground. He gets ahead of the limo and stands on top of a two-story building, waiting for the limo.

He takes out an explosive arrow and draws back his bow. He aims at the limo and fires. The arrow hits the hood and destroys the engine, stopping the limo. He then fires another zipline and zips himself to the ground. Malcolm and his driver exited the vehicle.

"Malcolm Merlyn! We need to talk!" shouted The Arrow.

The Arrow puts an arrow in the driver's leg and approaches the businessman.

"You got some nerve coming out in the open, considering what you did last night," said Malcolm.

The Arrow grabs Malcolm by the suit and holds him against the limo.

"The archer who kidnapped those people last night. I know you're involved," growled The Arrow. "Where is he?"

"What? You think I asked him to frame you or something?" questioned Malcolm.

The Arrow punches Malcolm in the face. "I'm the one asking the questions here! Where is he?"

"What makes you think I know anything?" Malcolm continues to resist.

The Arrow punches Malcolm in the face three times. "Talk now or else!"

"Or else, what? You kill me, you'll just make matters worse for yourself," replied Malcolm.

The Arrow takes out an arrow and was about to jab it into Malcolm's shoulder, until a streak of yellow lightning takes him away from Malcolm. The business was stunned. One second, The Arrow was in front of him and the next, he's gone.

"What the heck was that?" he wondered.

...

At a junkyard, The Arrow gets thrown towards a pile of scrap. He lays eyes upon his attacker. It was the Flash.

"I see you took my advice about the mask," started Flash.

The Arrow grunts in pain as he tries to get back on his feet.

"You know, I looked up to you," said Flash. "You were part of the reason why I wear this suit. You were part of the reason why I risk my life for this city. I thought you were a hero. Then I turned on the TV and saw a report about a man in a green hood shooting the mayor in the chest."

"You don't know what you're talking about, kid," said The Arrow.

"Are you saying you didn't do it?" asked Flash. "The arrow that killed the mayor was green and matches those you use."

"You don't want to get in my way, Flash," warned The Arrow.

"You mean get in the way of you killing Malcolm Merlyn?" questioned Flash.

"I was getting information," said The Arrow.

"By torturing him?" questioned Flash, gesturing to the arrow in his hand. "I was wrong. You're no hero. You're a criminal."

"What are you gonna do? Bring me in?" asked The Arrow.

"If I have to," said Flash.

"You don't understand the consequences if you do," said The Arrow. "This city needs to be saved and only I know how to do it."

"Oh, so what me and Supergirl are doing is not saving this city? Is that what you're saying?" accused Flash.

"You're right about one thing. I'm no hero," said The Arrow. "I just do what I have to do to save this city."

"Right, and that includes murdering every corrupt one percenter?" questioned Flash. "Tell me. Was Mayor Altman corrupt?"

"No," answered The Arrow.

"Then why shouldn't I bring you in right now?" asked Flash.

"Because you're a hero. You're supposed to be able to tell the difference between the innocent and the guilty," said The Arrow. "You know that I fight to save this city. What reason would I have to murder the mayor?"

The Flash stops and thinks. He realizes that The Arrow is right. If Mayor Altman wasn't corrupt, why would The Arrow murder him? If someone else is behind this, he has to be willing to give the vigilante benefit of the doubt.

Flash walks towards The Arrow and returns his arrow. He says, "Don't give me a reason to go after you again."

The Flash runs and leaves the junkyard. The Arrow just stands and thinks about his situation. The police looking for him 24/7 was enough of a bother, but now, the Flash is keeping an eye on him. Clearing his name just got a whole lot harder.

December 23 (2 days before Christmas)

It was a big day for Cat Grant. She was about to be featured on the CBS's The Talk. Almost everyone in Silverstone City was watching. But no one is more happier than the Flash and Supergirl themselves.

Julie Chen begins to introduce their special guest. "She's the founder and CEO of a media empire who was recently named #1 on the Silverstone City Tribute's Annual Power List. Please welcome... Cat Grant."

The girls on the table, as well as the audience in the studio and at homes, started to applaud.

Sharon Osbourne faces Cat and says, "Wow. You look so much younger than I thought you would."

"So do you," joked Cat with a smile.

"So, Cat, how does it feel like to be the most powerful woman in Silverstone City?" asked Sara Gilbert.

Cat gives her response. "Well, Sara, first of all, that's a total misnomer. Nobody is calling me the most powerful woman in Silverstone City. I believe they're calling me that most powerful 'person'. Having a platform like mine is only worthwhile if I can use it to bring attention to the people who are really making a difference."

"Well, Cat, that brings us to our next question," said Aisha Tyler.

"Supergirl and the Flash," guessed Cat.

"You've been associated with Supergirl since she first emerged on the Silverstone City scene. You have also expressed your opinions on the Flash almost every single day," said Aisha. "You've been a critic, a cheerleader, and, some would say, a friend."

"Well, I would like to think so," said Cat.

"What are they like?" asked Sara.

"They're everything you think they are," answered Cat. "Supergirl is strong, brave, and the most remarkable thing about her is that she is one of the kindest people I know. The Flash seems to be no different. He's courageous, selfless, daring, and wears a smile that definitely makes every girl out there swoon."

"And what of the rumors about them being romantically involved with each other?" asked Aisha.

"Well, if I have to be honest with you, when I asked Supergirl that same question, she blushed," answered Cat.

Everyone went "ooh".

"It wouldn't surprise me if the rumors were true," said Cat. "If you ask me, I think they make quite a pair."

"Would you say that they're making a difference?" asked Aisha.

"Definitely," answered Cat. "This city has been a playground for the underworld, but whenever you look up to the sky and see a girl in a red cape or a streak of lightning running around the streets, you know that you're safe. They're an idea. They're inspiring us to be our best selves. Now, we can learn a lot from them. You can learn a lot from them. I have learned a lot from them. And I'm still learning."

In their respective homes, Barry and Kara were both watching The Talk and heard every word Cat Grant said. Listening to the girls talk about the rumors of Flash and Supergirl being in love with each other made them blush. Thinking about the other made them blush even redder. Luckily, Barry was watching alone, as was Kara.

"If I only knew who you really are," they both said.

Tension between Arrow and Flash are rising. If you've watched the movie I've based this story on, you know there's gonna be a fight, but not yet. I hope this was okay. Let me know.
