Spikedmaster here going at you with more Ultraspeed. And I'd like to give shout outs to the people favoriting and following my stories. If it's not too much to ask could you also leave a review on it too?
It's been 3 weeks since the Allen brothers woke from their comas and begun using their powers.
The girls have been doing great in their training thanks to Nate helping them.
Cisco has learned how to launch vibration blasts.
Barry has been learning how to go faster now he can run mach 3.
Nate has learned early on how to time travel and cross dimensions through his powers.
It let him meet the people in the legion and see other worlds.
But right now we see Barry racing across Central City.
Then he hears Cisco's voice through his com.
" Dude we have a fire on Western and Third in downtown" he said.
" They're playing my song." said Barry as he turns toward the fire.
" Hey Cisco, you seen my brother anywhere?" asked Barry wondering where he's been.
" Yeah he's at Allen Industries doing tests, why?" asked Cisco.
" He said he had something for me, something about an upgrade?" said Barry
" Oh ho, thank's for telling now I've gotta see what it is." said Cisco excited
" Alright" said Barry kinda creeped out.
Then we see 2 fire trucks racing toward the fire.
" This is Ladder 52. We're still at least two minutes out." the fire chief said on his walkie
" People are going to die in there" dispatch replied
" I know" the chief sighed, as then a red blur went past them.
" Barry" said Cisco
Barry stops as Cisco says his name. " What? Did I miss it?"
" You overshot by about six blocks." said Cisco smiling.
" My bad." said Barry as he then races back in the right way.
Burning building
We see a woman walking through the crowd. " Paige. My daughter. Has anyone seen my daughter? Paige.
Everyone jumps as red blur races into the building.
Barry races in going floor after floor
S.t.a.r Labs
Cortex
"You there yet?" Cisco asked looking at the monitors just as Caitlin walked in with a mug of coffee
"What are you doing?" Caitlin asked causing Cisco to jump and turn to her while turning off all the computers
"Nothing." Cisco said trying to play it cool
"Who were you talking to?" Caitlin asked walking up to him as she looked at her friend suspiciously
"No one." Cisco said
"Are you talking to Nate?"
"Who?" Cisco asked confused
"Barry Allen? Struck by lighting? Was in a coma for nine months? Woke up being able to run faster than the speed of sound? Ring a bell?" Caitlin asked
"Right, he went to Big Belly Burger." Cisco lied before Barry's voice came through the speaker
"Cisco, there's fire everywhere!" Cisco looked to the speaker and sighed knowing he was busted
Burning Building
"Cisco, are you still there?" Barry asked as he stood in the burning building
"Mom? Mommy!"
Barry looked to the side to see a little girl clutching her teddy bear walk into the hallway scared before the fire suddenly shot up causing her to jump.
Barry races and get her out of the building
" Mommy" she says as she was suddenly out of the building
The mother races over and gets the child in her arms in a hug.
Then everyone makes a shout of surprise when a golden streak races in and comes out with 3 people.
The red and golden streak race out just as the fire trucks show up.
" Thanks bro" said Barry as beside him running is Nate.
" Your welcome and remember come by the complex later alright? And I'm gonna be over at Star Labs see you there" said Nate
Barry nods and Nate races off.
Barry races to behind a dumpster.
" Everybody's out. What else you got for me, Cisco?" asked Barry
" Barry, it's Caitlin" was heard over the coms
" Hey, Caitlin" said Barry not happy that he got caught.
" How's your day?" said Barry trying to change the subject.
" Get back to Star Labs, now" she said in her ordering voice.
She turns back to look at Cisco with his sucker in his mouth and he smiles.
" On my way" said Barry
He gets ready to speed off but he holds his head getting groggy before he speeds off.
Star Labs
" Have you both lost your minds? Who do you think you are?" Said Caitlin walking past Barry and Cisco.
We see Nate over in the corner eating some corn dogs.
" Well I'm the eyes and ears, he's the feet." said Cisco as he and Barry walk behind her.
" This isn't funny. You could have gotten yourself killed." she said.
" Honey! Barry was with me, and breath sometimes you forget to breath when you're berating someone" said Nate.
" Okay that makes me feel better. But honestly Barry you have to be more careful, Nate won't always be there to help and/or save you" said Cailtin
Barry nods.
" Besides honey, this is what we talked about me and him using our powers to help others. Along with you guys and the others, remember." said Nate walking over and sitting on the table and gives Cisco a corn dog.
" We talked about us helping contain people who might've been affected by the particle accelerator explosion." said Caitlin reminding them.
" Yeah, I know and besides old Clyde there hasn't been any." said Nate.
" Which is weird, the energy went throughout the city so there should be others." said Cisco.
" Which makes you wonder what's taking them so long." said Barry.
" Anything you'd like to add" said Caitlin as Wells rolls in.
" Back to what Caitlin was saying, in her own spectacularly angry way is that we're just beginning to understand what your body is capable of, Barry. Not to sound like a broken record, but I caution restraint" said Wells
" Dr. Wells, I doubt restraint is how you got to be the man you are today." said Barry.
Nate groans and knows what Dr. Wells is going to say.
" In a wheelchair and a pariah. Lack of restraint is what made me these things. Know your limits" said Wells as he rolls out but stops when Nate says something
" You can only get stronger if you push past your limits, I don't have any but I'm agreeing with Wells on this. Learn your limits before something bad happens." said Nate. Wells and Caitlin nod agreeing and Wells leaves.
Caitlin follows but stops in front of Barry " I hope you don't expect me to patch you up every time you break something." said Caitlin still angry as she leaves.
" Hey, uh, anything happen out there today. The sensors in the suit were kicking back weird telemetry, like your vitals spiked for a few seconds." said Cisco as he pulls Barry over to him and Nate listens in.
" Never felt better." said Barry lying
Barry's phone in Cisco's pocket vibrates and he gives it to Barry
Barry looks and sees that it's Joe calling.
He answers it.
" Hey, Joe, everything all right?" he said.
" Great. I got a fresh crime scene, a dead body, detectives interviewing witnesses. Yellow tape stretched over everything. I'm missing one thing, can you guess what that is?" said Joe as Barry sighs
" I'll be right there" said Barry as he hung up.
" My day job beckons" he said as he speed off.
Making Cisco's and Caitlin's hair fly along with papers on the desk.
Wells turns to the direction Barry exited.
" When do you think he'll realize he didn't take his clothes?" he said.
Nate sighs and gets up.
" He won't but I'm going with him after I go to Big Belly Burger." said Nate
" Dude you just had some corn dogs" said Cisco.
" That was my breakfast, dude. I'm starving" said Nate.
Then he races off.
The crime scene
We see Barry arriving just outside the building before he looks down and realizes he's still in his suit.
Barry looks over at a clothing store and races in
Inside
We see Joe standing with Singh and we see a dead body in front of the register.
" Perp made off with a bunch of handguns. At least six Glock-19s fitted with extra ammunition magazines. Somebody's looking to do a whole lot of bad." said Joe.
Barry walks in with clothes that he bought from the store. Soon followed by Nate eating a cheeseburger holding a bag from Big Belly Burger and the leash to Goliath's collar as the giant dog walks in with them.
" Hey. Sorry I'm late." said Barry as he walked over to the two.
Joe looks down and sees the tag on Barry's shirt.
" Doing a little fall shopping, Mr. Allen?" said Singh as Joe takes the tag off.
" Oh, heh, I was going so fast this morning, I didn't even notice." said Barry as Joe hands him gloves and he gets to work.
" Did you bring me a burger, Nate?" Singh asked.
" Actually yeah, for you and Joe, but if I have to go through another one of your wife, Robyn's, lectures it's on your head." said Nate giving the two some cheeseburgers. Singh sighs as he remembered his wife trying to push her health rules on the other CCPD members. Goliath lays down in front of Nate as he sits down.
" Thanks" said Joe taking his.
" Yeah she means well" said Singh as he started eating.
" So how is she? She still on the CCPD?" said Nate.
" Yeah" said Singh.
" So I'm guessing you're here to keep him out of trouble?" said Joe as Nate nods.
Then the 3 see Eddie walking over and Nate reaches in and pulls out another burger and gives it too him.
" Thanks. How many burgers you got in that thing?" Eddie asked as he took a bite.
" Twenty-five." said Nate and the 3 cops look at him like are you serious.
" I haven't ate in 3 days okay. " said Nate taking another bite.
" Anyway, I downloaded surveillance footage off the video camera." said Eddie as he shows them the video on a tablet.
We see a man running before he's shot down in front of the register then a man in a mask shows up and shoots the camera.
" Looks like only one perp." said Eddie.
Then they turn to see Barry walking around in the footprints on the crime scene.
Barry turns around to see them looking at him.
" What are you doing?" asked Nate.
" Footage may only show one, but it was six guys. The tracks are all crossing each other. Six sets of footprints. Six guns stolen. You're looking for a crew." Barry said before he took a closer look "Weird. The shoes, it looks like they're all the same size. Men's tens, I'd guess. Just like you, captain" said Barry as Nate groans and holds his head. Then Barry quickly realized what he said
" Not that you're a suspect, sir." he said quickly.
" Fast with your feet, and sometimes your mouth. Eh, little brother?" said Nate making Joe, Singh and Eddie chuckle as Singh and Eddie walk off.
At the CCPD
" Your ability to multitask is remarkable. The way you can embarass me, your brother, the captain, and yourself, at the same time." said Joe as he, Barry, Nate and Goliath walk into the police department.
" Joe, I'm sorry" said Barry before Joe stops him.
" I'm starting to think, "Joe, I'm sorry", is my actual name considering how often you say it to me." said Joe kinda angry like.
Me and Nate are dealing a lot right now. said Barry
" More so him than me" said Nate
Look, I know you two are. Believe me, I'm dealing with it, too. I've always had a very simple set of beliefs. Gravity makes things fall. Water makes things wet. And up until a few weeks ago, I believed the fastest man could run a mile in four minutes. Not four seconds. said Joe
I could do it in three. said Barry praising himself as Nate looks at him
Really now?" said Nate
Yeah. Really. said Barry
" Well I can do it in 0.5 seconds and you don't see me bragging about it." said Nate
Barry turns to see Joe looking at him.
" Not relevant" said Barry
" Have you said anything to Iris or Whitney about this being trying to be a vigilante thing? said Nate
" No, I made Joe a promise, I keep my promises" said Barry
" Keep on lying. You're liable to get struck by lightning again. Get to the lab. Start processing the evidence from the gun store" said Joe as he points upward to the lab.
Joe watches as Barry races to his lab and remembers one of the times Barry tried sneaking off to see his dad.
" You're remembering one of his runaways aren't you." said Nate as Joe sighs and nods.
" Yeah it was in those times where I couldn't get why you never tried to do that" said Joe as the two walk over to some chairs and sit down with Goliath lying down and taking a little nap.
" Because back then I could understand why he didn't want Barry and me to see him." said Nate
" If only Barry was like you" said Joe.
Nate chuckles.
" If he was he'd be me and not himself" said Nate making Joe laugh.
Barry puts a vial of something in a red box and tries to make it work but it doesn't so he takes it in his hand and starts speeding it around.
Barry was walking toward a table when he suddenly stumbled forward as he was hit with another wave of dizziness himself
"This is all of your fault." Barry looked up when Iris walked in dressed up "I could have taken European folklore to cover my sociology requirement, but no. You said, "take journalism, Iris. Reporters have all of the fun." Guess what, Barry? Reporters have none of the fun. Journalism is boring. I'm bored. I blame you."
" What are you staring at?" said Iris as Barry sees her in a dress
"Why do you look so nice?" Barry asked sitting in a chair
"What? Did you really forget?" Iris asked causing Barry to look at her with both his eyebrows raised "This afternoon? Suit and tie? The university is giving Simon Stagg some big award. And you agreed-"
"To explain the science stuff for your article. My bad." Barry said running a hand through his hair
"How fast can you get home and change?" Iris asked
"Very fast."Barry said with a smirk
"Hey, Allen." Eddie greeted walking in getting Barry's and Iris' attention "Joe asked me to see where you're at on the evidence from the gun store shooting." Eddie looked to Iris and greeted "Oh, hey, Iris." before staring straight at Barry
"Detective." Iris said looking down slightly
" Are things still awkward between you and Iris and Whitney?" said Barry as he sees the two trying not to look at each other.
" Yes and if Joe finds out he'd probably kill me" said Eddie afraid of Joe.
" Whatever, where's Whitney? She gonna meet us there?" said Barry
" Yep buy" said Iris as she left. Eddie following.
Barry finishes his stuff and get's ready for the award ceremony.
At Stagg Industries
Barry, Whitney and Iris stood in the crowd clapping for Simon Stagg as he held an award and was about to give a speech "I find it quite remarkable, having once been a timid freshman at Central City University, to be standing before you now, the regents choice for man of the year. While I very much appreciate the award, the real honor for me is knowing that my work in organ transference helps give people a second chance at life. Thank you all very much for coming." Stagg said causing everyone to clap, before he walked off, and everyone began to mingle
"Okay, first things first Simon Stagg's work in cellular cloning has led to huge advancements in the future of organ replacement." Barry said before Iris grabbed to glasses of champagne
"Are journalists allowed to drink on the job?" Iris asked
"No they're not." Whitney said putting a glass back but Barry kept one for himself, which caused Iris to look at him in annoyance as he took his glass to the head
"Your supposed to sip champagne you know?" Iris said
"I was thirsty, stuff tastes cheap anyway." Barry shrugged putting the glass down "and if you are bored already, just wait till we get to the science behind cellular regeneration."
Whitney, with a smile hooked her arm with Barry's "I have missed this, Barry. I feel like we haven't spent any quality time together since you woke up from the coma."
"Yeah, I've had a crazy few weeks." he said
Iris saw Stagg walking by "Oh! Oh! , I was wondering if I could get a quote from you for my article."
"Not now, miss." Simon's security said as they continued walking away
"I'll just make something up." Iris said causing Whitney to laugh, before everyone jumped when a gun was fired into the air, turning around Barry, Whitney and Iris saw 6 men in mask walk in with guns raised high
"Quiet! How considerate! You're all wearing your finest jewelry! Almost like you knew we were coming to rob you! Now everybody line up!"
Barry had Iris and Whitney take off their bracelets, and rings before he put them in his pocket, as everyone lined up for their valuables to be taken, as he noted how each of the gunmen were the same height, build, same color eyes almost as if they were clones.
About to confront them, Barry looked back to Whitney who grabbed his arm "Don't." she said worriedly as Barry looked her I'm her eyes and nodded slowly
"Freeze!" everyone looked to see that a security guard finally decided to come to the rescue "D-d-drop your weapons!" the man said as each gun man turned to him and they all raised their guns and fired
To their surprise he's still standing and the holes from the bullets close up.
They shoot some more for the same respone. " What the hell you should be dead!" shouted one of the perps.
The cop chuckles " I would if I was your everyday average Joe" he said as he begun to turn brown and change into a puffed up creature
Clayface from the Batman tv series.
" The name's Clayface and you all are going down" Clayface said as he laughs.
The gang shoot at him some more.
" Really? If it didn't work the first time why try a third" said Clayface as he crosses his arms.
The gang runs.
Barry seeing this speeds of to try and catch them.
The gang races of in a van but leave one behind.
Barry makes his way outside but he holds onto the dumpster before he faints and falls to the ground.
The one gang member left behind walks up to Barry and holds his gun out to shoot him.
3 metal claws go through the gang member's chest and instantly dies.
The claws retract and we see Wolverine ( Wolverine and the X-men outfit)
" Never mess with my friends little brother, bub" he said to the dead body.
Wolverine looks down to see Barry fainted and picks him up.
A ambulance arrives on the scene.
Clayface is standing outside the building and turns to see Wolverine holding Barry.
" What happened to him?" Clayface asked.
" Don't know but seeing how we're done here we should get back" said Wolverine
Clayface nods and makes his hand bigger and puts Barry on a stretcher.
The two heroes see Iris and Whitney coming out.
" Your friends alright, Ma'ms. Just passed out I think." said Clayface.
" You'll get a better explanation when the kid wakes up" said Wolverine.
The two heroes run off.
Later
Barry groggidly starts to wake up. " He's awake." said a paramedic
The paramedic beside him helps him raise his head.
" Easy son, you passed out." said the paramedic.
" I know and I have my own doctors, which I should really see right now, thank you." said Barry as he gets off the stretcher.
" Barry!" said Whitney as she races over and gets him into a hug.
" Can't breath" said Barry as he feels the tightness of the hug.
" You scared me, Barry. What happened? Me and Iris saw you speed off and then some guy named Wolverine is seen carrying you over to the ambulance." said Whitney.
" I went after them to try and get the plates. And I fainted." said Barry.
Inside
We see the 3 walking towards Joe and Eddie.
" Hey dad." said Whitney.
" Where were you?" asked Joe to Barry.
" Dad, go easy. They found him outside and was about to rushed to the hospital. He fainted" said Iris.
" You gonna be alright?" said Eddie concerned.
" Yeah, thanks Eddie." said Barry
The 5 turn around and see the security guard from before holding an ice pack to his head
" I thought I was dead. I saw the gun go off and then boom. I'm outside 2 blocks away. I have no idea how I got there" he said.
" Let me talk to you for a second." said Joe to Barry as the two walk away from Eddie, Iris and Whitney
" You chased those gunmen, didn't you?" said Joe.
" They must be the same guys that knocked over the gun shop." said Barry
" What were you going to do when you caught them, huh? Ask them nicely to pull over? You're not bulletproof. Wait, are you?" said Joe going into his father mode.
" No I'm not, but Nate is." said Barry bringing in his brother.
" Okay, no more heroics. Chasing bad guys is my job. You're not a cop. Promise me." said Joe
" Promise. Now I have to get to Star Labs to see why I fainted." said Barry. Joe nods as Barry walks off.
S.T.A.R Labs
Barry was sitting with his shirt opened in the med bay, getting his vitals checked out "You lied to us. How could you not tell us you're experiencing dizzy spells? We're your doctors. God knows what's going on inside your body. Your cells are in a constant state of flux. You could be experiencing cardiopulmonary failure or a transient ischemic attack."
Barry looks to Nate with a confused look.
" One, Mini-Stroke, probably not and 2 breath Caitlin" said Nate
You of all people should know that in science, we share. We do not keep secrets." Caitlin said with a glare before she walked off not giving Barry the opportunity to explain.
" Wow, I haven't seen anyone make her that angry since Ronnie." said Cisco as he gives a tablet to Wells.
" Who was Ronnie?" asked Barry.
" He was Caitlin's childhood best friend. They grew up together and he was one of the greatest men I know. Also you ever lie to me again and I'm gonna be the one who hurts you." said Nate as he stood over away from Barry and he was angry.
" Alright and what about Wells? You know him." said Barry when he said the greatest men he knew.
" Like I said Ronnie was one of the greatest guys I know and I'm still ifey about him." said Nate gesturing to Wells
" Pretending I didn't hear that. Let's see why you keep passing out." said Wells as Barry and Nate follow him.
Moments later
Barry was looking at the stake of boxes set up behind a treadmill "A little padding. Just in case." Cisco said before Barry got onto the treadmill
"You're sure about this, Cisco?" Barry asked
"Most home treadmills have a maximum speed of about 12 mph. This one has been Cisco'ed. Trust me. It can handle your speed."
"Okay." Barry said before he began to jog, and slowly sped up till he was cruising at 400mph
"Heart rate, blood pressure, nerve conduction all normal." Caitlin said reading his vitals
"For Barry." Nate said not taking his eyes of his brother
"Brainwave function within standard limits." Caitlin added as Cisco laughed watching as lightning began to flicker around Barry
"I told you the treadmill could take it." Cisco said
"Caitlin. Look at the glucose levels." Wells instructed before Caitlin looked and sighed
"Oh, my God. Of course. It was so obvious."
"Barry! We think we know why you keep-" Wells began but jumped along with his employees and Nate when Barry passed out, fell on the speeding treadmill before he was rocketed back into the boxes "passing out."
Nate goes rushing in and gets him.
Hour Later
Barry groaned awake before Caitlin, and Cisco helped him stand up "I passed out again?"
"Total metabolic failure brought on by acute hypoglycemia." Caitlin said
"I'm not eating enough. So an I.V. bag and I'm good to go?" Barry asked stretching out
"Try 40." Nate said as Barry looked to see 40 empty I.V. bags hanging "Guess you were thirsty."
"We're gonna need to fashion you a new diet based on your metabolic changes." Caitlin said getting a nod from Barry
"I've done a few calculations. You need to consume an amount equal to roughly Unless we're talking cheese and guac, which is like a whole other set of equations."
Barry nodded and sat down when he heard Joe's voice "For Mexican, I recommend Tito's. On Bruckner Avenue? Best burrito in the city."
Barry sighed as Joe walked in "Detective West. What brings you to S.T.A.R. Labs?" Wells asked
"When I couldn't find you at your lab, I started doing a little research. Turns out there's been reports of a red streak along with a golden one around the city, stopping muggers, rescuing people from burning buildings. More red than gold"
"You didn't tell him we were working together?" Wells asked looking at the Allen brothers
" Look Joe, I can explain." Said Barry trying to explain.
" I was alright when you kept it with Nate, but you have a job in law enforcement I suggest you get back to it." said Joe as Caitlin agrees with him and he looks at her.
" Don't look at me I'm on your side." she said.
" Joe I know you're worried about Barry, but I'm working on something that will take your worries away." said Nate as everyone listens into what he has to say.
" Like what?" Joe asked.
Nate walks over to a object under a tarp and he moves it and reveals a armored version of Barry's suit.
" His upgrade. This suit is made from the various metals I found on my dimensional and time travels. It can take a nuclear blast and quite possibly a supernova blast without making a dent. But I have to fix all the bugs in it before he takes it out." said Nate showing them it.
" That is awesome." said Cisco.
" Yes, I'll admit it is impressive." said Wells.
" But I'm sorry Barry but until you get this fainting problem fixed, I don't want you going out there." said Nate walking over to Joe.
Barry looks at his brother, the one who should be on his side.
" Thank you" said Joe grateful Nate is on his side.
" Are you kidding me? Nate, you're supposed to be on my side, not Joe's. And beside Joe you saw a man control the weather, what's the police going to do against something like that. We suspect there's more of them out there." said Barry shocked and angry that his brother isn't siding with him.
" I know, but bro listen to me. With Eobard out there we need to look out for each other." said Nate trying to make Barry see reason.
" I can beat him, Nate. If I ever see him I'll make him sorry he ever killed mom" said Barry as he got up.
" Not if your like this! Besides we don't even know where he is. I mean for all we know he could be in this very room with us, and we wouldn't even know it." said Nate as he looks at Wells for a second or two.
" And he's had 14 years to plan and scheme, he's out there waiting for his chance." said Nate.
Barry sighs and sits back down on the bed.
" Exactly which is why I don't want you going out there alone and risking your life! Your just a kid. My Kid." said Joe looking right at Wells
"I'm not your kid, Joe." Barry said annoyed "And you're not my father. My father's sitting in Iron Heights. Wrongfully convicted. You were wrong about him, and this. Now I may not be able to help him, but if I can save someone from a burning building or stop some idiots with guns, I'm gonna do it. And nothing is going to stop me. Not even you Nate."
" You think you're so smart." Joe said heartbroken "All of you. But you don't know what you don't know. And I hope that you're clever enough to figure it out before somebody gets killed." he finished before leaving
Barry groans and gets up to leave.
" Where do you think your going?" said Nate as he stepped in front of Barry.
" Out of here." said Barry
Wells, Cisco and Caitlin look at each other as the two begin to fight.
" No your not!" said Nate
" Watch me!" said Barry as he tried to speed around Nate but Nate stops him everytime
Eventually when Nate turns him around he whips around and tries to punch Nate but Nate grabs the fist.
Then he pushes Barry backwards.
" Look bro, I know you're mad. But please understand I'm trying to -" Nate said before Barry interrupts him
" YOU'RE NOT MY BROTHER!" Barry shouted
Silence overtook everyone to the point where you could hear a pin drop.
Barry walks up into Nate's face.
" A real brother would've tried to stand up and help me with Joe, not just stand there and help him! We may have the same family, and share the same blood, but from now on! Don't ever call me your brother again" said Barry with anger and rage laced in his voice.
Nate just stands there and then turns to let Barry pass.
Barry speeds out.
Caitlin walks over to Nate as she hears him start to sniffle.
Caitlin gather him in a hug as he starts busting into tears.
Cisco just has nothing to say and walks off and Wells just sits there looking at Nate.
Next day
We see Barry working in his lab when Joe walks in holding folders.
"Come to yell at me again?" Naruto asked looking back at his work
"Simon Stagg's head of security was murdered last night. The coroner took some skin samples. Hopefully they belong to the killer. See if you can find a match." Joe said in a clipped tone
"Can't be a coincidence that Stagg's benefit was attacked last night." Barry said taking the samples from Joe
"I'm going to interview Stagg now." Joe said turning to leave
"I can come with you." Barry offered
"Your job is in here. Stay in here and do it." Joe said turning to leave just as Iris walked in with a mug of coffee, as Barry checked the samples
"Hey, Dad." Iris greeted
"Hey, baby." Joe said kissing his daughter's cheek "Gotta go."
As Joe left Iris walked up to Barry who was waiting for the samples to finish being tested "Why is my dad mad at you?"
"Work stuff." Barry said with a sigh, before he noticed her glaring at him "Why are you mad at me?"
"You were supposed to meet me at jitters to give me some scientific background for my article."
"And I didn't show up." Barry said having forgotten
"And now I have to come up with a new article topic in 24 hours or I fail the assignment." Iris said as Barry stood up
"Iris-"
"Don't say that you're sorry. Okay, I know that you are. What I don't know is what is going on with you." Iris said as Barry sighed as Iris tore open her pack of sugar "We grew up one bedroom down from each other. Do you honestly think that I don't know when you're happy? Or sad or depressed or lost? So I'm gonna ask you one last time, Barry Allen, and you better be honest with me. What the-"
Time stopped.
" You wanna know what's wrong with me? I'm fast now and a superhero. God I just want to tell you. But I can't." said Barry as he speeds around her
- Hell is going on with you." she finished putting sugar in her coffee.
Barry opened hia moth to speak when a beeping sound cut him off, causing him to walk to his computer "We are not done talking about this." Iris said walking up behind him and looking over his shoulder
"That's impossible?" Barry asked looking closer to his computer "There was a murder last night. These skin cells belong to the murderer, but these cells are naive. Stem cells that they can replicate and become any cell the body needs. They only come from babies."
"This means your killer is what, a newborn?" Iris asked
Stagg Industries
Joe, and Eddie walked alongside Simon trying to get him to cooperate "You honestly think that someone wants to kill me?" Simon asked
"Well, we're not sure, Mr. Stagg, but an event you were being honored at was robbed at gunpoint." Eddie reminded
"And your head of security was found murdered this morning." Joe added
"I am a scientist and a philanthropist. We're not often the targets of assassins." Simon said with a dismissive wave of his hand
"Well what about lawsuits? You got about 20 of those pending against you." Joe asked
"It is a sad fact of life, Detective, that when you earn a lot of money, people who haven't think they can take yours." Simon said with an arrogant smirk
Joe opened his folder and pulled out a picture if a man "People like this guy, for example?" Joe asked "Danton Black?"
"Danton Black." Simon said taking the photo and looking at his ex employee
"You fired him and now he's suing you?" Joe asked
"Unfortunately, our working relationship wasn't successful, but I can assure you both of one thing. Danton Black Is not a killer. He's a clinical researcher, not a criminal mastermind. Now, if I can help you in any way, please let me know. I want these people caught as much as you."
"Then here we are!"
Simon, Joe, and Eddie turned to see three gunman immediately Joe and Eddie rushed Simon as shots were fired "Down!" Joe shouted pushing Simon to safety as the three men took cover
Central City Police Department
Barry was walking toward Joe's desk, when he noticed everyone grabbing their gear and heading toward the exit "Capt, what's going on?"
"Not now, Barry. An armed gunman is shooting up Stagg industries." Singh said walking away
Barry watched him go, before he remembered something "Joe's there." heading back upstairs to his lab, Barry opened his locker and grabbed his suit
Stagg Industries
Joe, Eddie, and Simon were still taking cover behind a forklift as the three masked men fired at them "Get him out of here. I'll cover you. Nate gave me something for situations like this" Joe said as he grabbed the bracelet. " If Nate built it I know it's gonna work." said Eddie as he grabbed his gun." Ready? Go!" shouted Joe as Eddie took Simon out of the building.
Joe pressed a button on the bracelet and silver armor appeared all over him until he was covered in his Robocop armor.
He checks himself over. " Oh, boy! I make this look good!" said Joe kinda excited about it.
He stood up and the Danton's shot at him only for the bullets not work.
" My turn" said Joe he grabs his gun and shoots taking one of them down.
One takes off his mask revealing Danton. His face begins to vibrate and he shakes around until another Danton is standing beside him.
The 3rd takes off his mask showing another Danton. The new clone reaches down and grabs the gun the one Danton clone dropped when he got shot.
Joe crouches back behind the canisters.
" Damn. I need help." said Joe.
" Contacting Nathaniel Allen" said a male computer voice ( think Jarvis's voice on Iron man's suit.)
" Onboard computer? Sweet" said Joe in his amazed tone of voice.
A red streak races in and grabs the 3 Danton's guns and drops them beside Joe. Revealing Barry in his suit.
" Go" Barry ordered. " No" said Joe in his commanding voice.
Barry races him and drops him outside.
Joe hears a ringing and looks down to his arm to see Nate.
" Joe? You activated the armor. What's wrong?" he said.
" It's Barry, he's taking on Danton Black who can make copies of himself." said Joe.
" We're on our way." said Nate.
" We?" said Joe.
" Yes we." confirmed Nate.
Allen Industries.
We see Nate walking over to Lisa, Whitney, and Iris who're petting Goliath and Cisco and Caitlin are looking over something on the computer.
" Barry's in trouble." he said.
" Where is he?" asked Whitney concerned for her boyfriend.
" At Stagg Industries taking on a metahuman, alone. And this one can replicate himself." said Nate.
" Wait since when -" Iris tried to say.
" Look everything will be explained later now everyone suit up and hero up." ordered Nate.
Back at Stagg Industries
We see Barry getting a beating from the Danton clones.
Then they move over for the ones with the guns and they prepare to shoot him.
Then a golden streak races in and grabs him.
It's Nate and he moves him over to Iris and Whitney and the others in their suits.
" Are you okay?" said Whitney holding Barry's face.
" Yeah but Nate you still came to help me? Even after all I said?" said Barry not expecting Nate to come.
" We are brothers, nothing you can say or do will ever change that. I'll admit I was hurt, but if I just sat back while you were in danger I'd be no better than Eobard." said Nate
Barry smiles seeing his brother forgive him.
Iris crouches beside him
" So are these your work clothes?" she joked.
" More or less" Barry said before he groaned.
" Guy's we can't have a full fight here. Let's get him back. Golden Glider, Lighspeed, Shifter! Shine and hide" Nate ordered.
Lisa walks up and turns her body gold and Linda blasts her with a beam of light which Lisa redirects at the Dantons making them cover their eyes.
Shifter breaths out smoke giving them a chance to escape.
S.T.A.R Labs
We see Caitlin dabbing a cotton thing on the scratches on Barry's face he winces when she touches it on his cheek.
" Sorry, the abrasions are already rapidly healing." she said.
" You got blood on my suit." said Cisco with a headlamp holding a towel.
" I think some of it belongs to him. Another not-so-friendly meta-human" said Barry referring to Danton.
" I'm just glad you're safe." said Whitney as she stands with Lisa, Iris and Nate.
" Yeah thanks to Nate." said Barry as he makes a face which Nate noticed but didn't say anything.
" Danton Black. A bio-geneticist. Specialized in therapeutic cloning. Growing new organs to replace failing ones." said Wells as he pulled up a picture of Danton and answered Barry's unasked question.
" Apparently, Stagg stole his research and then fired him." said Caitlin.
" I knew there was something I hated about that guy. I thought it was just because he rich guy who acts like a dick." said Nate.
" I saw Black create duplicates from his own body." said Barry getting up.
" That's pretty ironic. The guy specialized in cloning. And now he can make Xeroxes of himself." said Cisco.
" If he was experimenting on himself when exposed to the dark matter wave, released by the accelerator explosion-" Wells said before Cisco interrupted him.
" Meet Captain Clone" he said smiling.
Everyone turns to him and gives him a look.
" Don't worry. I'll come up with something cooler" he said
Barry looks to Dantons picture and shakes his head and begins walking.
" Where are you going?" Caitlin asked.
" Joe was right. I'm in way over my head. Yeah, I'm fast, but I am no warrior. I could barely fight one meta-human, let alone six. " said Barry
He then turns to leave.
" Barry... I understand" Wells said making him stop and turn around.
" Today was a setback. But any grand enterprise has them. And we can never learn to fly without crashing a few times." said Wells.
" This wasn't a grand enterprise, Dr. Wells. This was a mistake" said Barry as he turns back around to leave.
" Wait, Barry. What about being a hero and finding Eobard?" said Iris.
" Let Nate worry about that he's the better hero. You'd all be better off without me holding you back" said Barry as he then speeds off.
While he speeds he remembers the time he and Nate went to go see his Father when they were kids.
Flashback
We see Nate and Barry sitting at a table in the prison as they hear a buzz and a guard brings their father into the room.
" Dad" said Barry
Nate turns his head to look at his father as Barry goes over to hug him but the guard stops him,
" Sorry, no physical contact. Five minutes, Allen" said the guard.
The guard backs off and give them room
" Sit down, sons" said Henry gesturing to the table beside them.
Barry sits then Nate beside him.
" How did you two get here?" Henry asked
" We ran here. Joe wouldn't bring me, so I brought Nate. He wouldn't let me see you. I hate him." said Barry. " I tried to stop him, Dad but he just had to see you, we did." said Nate
" Thank you, Nathan, and don't say that, Barry." said Henry as he shook his head after smiling at Nate.
" It isn't Joe that doesn't want you to come here. I don't want you to come here. I don't want you or him to see me like this." he said gesturing to the handcuffs on him.
Barry gets up. " Bare" said Nate trying to stop him as he walked up to the guard.
" You have to let him go. Our dad didn't do these things. He didn't hurt our mom. It was the man in the lightning. The lightning man killed our mom. Not our dad" said Barry pleading with the guard to let Henry go.
" Barry, look at me. Look at me" said Henry as he turned Barry around.
" You can't help me. Now Joe is gonna look after you and your brother until I can get out of here. You two just keep being the good boys that your mom and I know you both are." said Henry as he looks to Joe standing behind them.
Nate gets up and gets into the hug with Barry as the two boy starts to cry.
" We will get you out of here someday Dad. Let me and Barry just get one long look at you before we go." said Nate as they get out of the hug.
Nate takes a long look and pulls Barry back.
The guard gently grabs Henry's arm and take him back to his cell.
Barry turns in Nate's arms and begins to sob with Nate joining him.
Joe looks at them and walks over to them and pats them on the shoulders.
" Come on let's go" he said.
End Flashback
Barry stops and sees Jitters and walks in and sees Eddie looking at the tv seeing himself talking to a new reporter.
" Nice work, Eddie" he said as Eddie turns it off and turns around.
" Yeah, right place, right time. If it wasn't for Robocop Joe things maybe have gone different
" No, you were a hero today." said Barry
" C.C.P.D. still has a killer on the loose. I should get back to the precinct." said Eddie before he notices the look on Barry's face.
" You okay?" he asked.
" Yeah I'm alright." said Barry lying.
" Okay but if you want to talk, you know where to find me." said Eddie as he pats Barry on the shoulder and walks out.
Barry sits down in a booth after he gets himself a cup of coffee.
Back at Star Labs
We see them talking about Barry.
" Man I've never seen Barry that down. Ever" said Whitney concerned for her boyfriend.
" Yeah maybe I should get my Poliwag plushy. That always cheers me up" said Caitlin.
" I was just about to suggest my Poromon plushy." said Cisco
Everyone turns to look at them weird.
" What? Plushy's always make people happy. Besides when I fall asleep with it, I always have a good sleep" said Cisco with Caitlin agreeing with him
" You two are dorks" said Lisa.
" Yes but they are my dorks" said Wells.
Nate puts his hands on Lisa's shoulders and looks at her.
" Don't forget one of those dorks is your harem sister." he said
" Say what you want but these will cheer Barry up." Cisco said.
" Sorry Cisco, but I don't think the plush toys will fix this one" said Nate as he walks around the cortex.
Cisco: I know. But it's worth a shot
yeah and I appreciate you trying to help Barry but this is a bigger problem than you may think" said Nate
Well, you obviously need to find some way to convince Barry not to quit" said Lisa to Nate
Babe, how do you convince your brother not to quit when there very problem is us? And Joe? he said looking to them
" Hold up. How's this dad's fault?" said Iris " Yeah" said Whitney
" It's because we don't trust him." said Nate
Everyone looks at each other.
I never said that I didn't believe in him. Said Lisa
Yeah I know Babe, but it's mostly on Joe not trusting Barry to do this on his own. and then there's you Misses Poliwag." said Nate as he joked.
" Leave Poliwag out of this!" said Caitlin kinda angry
Sorry forgot how much you love that tadpole pokemon. But babe part of the problem is you" said Nate as Caitlin sighs
Is this about what happened with that burning building?" she said as Nate gives a side nod
Kinda but it's also with how you kept berating him. Sorry honey but it's the truth. Then there's the one who effected him the most" said Nate
It's me, isn't it? Sorry, man. Maybe I should've made those calorie bars sooner" said Cisco as he was thinking Nate was talking about him
No dude you've been like another brother to me and him" said Nate reassuring Cisco
" Is it me?" said Iris pointing to herself.
No babe if anything he's happy that you know about him being this. You too Whitney" said Nate looking to the sisters
That that leaves only you" said Cisco in realization.
Everyone looks at Nate with wide eyes as he nods and takes a seat in a chair.
" This is about that fight, isn't it?" said Caitlin
Nate shakes his head.
No that was just him talking in anger. This goes deeper than that. Deeper than anything on Earth" said Nate
" What are you talking about?" said Cisco as everyone takes a seat to hear this.
It's because all my life I've always been there. Saving him fighting for him, basically doing almost everything for him. He believes he can't do anything without me being there to help him. Even when he doesn't want or need it" said Nate
Well, you and Barry practically do everything together. And one of you can't fight crime without the other" said Lisa with Nate nodding agreeing with it.
I know but in his eyes it's his big brother practically taking on the world for him when he wants a chance to shoot off on his own. The one chance he could do something himself and not me being there to help him" said Nate
Well, maybe you two can be equals when it comes to fighting people like Mardon and Black" said Whitney trying to find a solution
Equals? Equals, Whitney I am the god of the speed force. If i wanted I could literally take the speed force energy from Barry and let him live a normal life if i wanted" said Nate as Wells eyes widen which they don't notice
" But you won't right?" said Cisco as he thought Nate was serious.
Nate turns to him. Really? The only person on this planet i want to do that to is Eobard and when I find him he's gonna wish that he killed me that night."
Takes a breath to calm down. Wells has straight face but on the inside he's afraid when Nate said he could steal the speed force energy from a speedster.
I think you and Barry should have a heart to heart chat" said Caitlin
How am i supposed to get him to listen? I don't even know where he sped off to" said Nate
He's probably in CCPD or our house" said Iris.
And if he's not? How am i supposed to be sure he even will want to listen to me?" said Nate
I'm sure he's cooled off by now. Besides, can't you use the Speed Force to track him" said Whitney
Nate's eyes widen and he smacks his head
" Wait you can actually do that?" said Cisco pointing to Nate.
" I guess he can" said Caitlin
Of course. I forgot that. I guess if you have so many powers like, super strength flight, can bring back the dead you forget what things I can do" said Nate as he gets up and chuckles. Wells on the inside is really starting to get afraid of Nate
Cisco: Go for it, man. In the meantime, we'll come up with a plan to stop Multiplex.
Caitlin: Nice name. And we're still getting our plush toys
Cisco nods.
Nate walks to the more open area of the Cortex.
Cisco stops in his tracks and turns back around to Nate.
" Wait you can actually raise the dead?" said Cisco shocked to hear it.
" I hope they're not zombies" said Iris
Whitney nods in agreement and shivers thinking about zombies
No you see when I was in the speed force i learned things like magic and how to use these things" said Nate as he pulls out a blue mugic disk
" What's that?" asked Lisa
" A mugic disk" said Nate
" Is it similar to magic" asked Cisco as the group looks at the disk.
Yes these things come in many colors and each color and each one does a different things but you have to have one of these to activate it." said Nate
Then he summons different colored mugicians one blue, one yellow, one brown one red, one white and another black.
" These activate the mugics." said Nate
That's so cool! " said Cisco as one floats past him
Can we get back to finding Barry before Black kills someone else?" said Caitlin bringing everyone back to the moment
" right sorry! Getting back to business but first Wells can you try and talk Joe into this?" asked Nate
" I will try. He should still be at the CCPD" said Wells as he begins to roll out of the Cortex
" Yeah and I'll go to Jitters it's where Barry's at" said Nate
Nate goes to leave but Whitney grabs his arm.
" Let me come with you. I can help you" she said.
" Are you sure?" Iris asked.
" Nobody knows Barry like I do besides him" said Whitney pointing to Nate.
" Good point" said Iris.
" Alright let's go" said Nate and the two sped off
At Jitters
We see Barry enjoying a cup of coffee sitting alone in a booth until he sees Whitney and Nate walk in
" Hey little brother, care to have some company" said Nate as he and Whitney sit on the other side of the booth.
" When I said I quit, what did you hear?" said Barry as he was pretty sure.
" My brother giving up because of me." said Nate
No. You were right. If I only rush into thing without thinking, then what kind of hero am I" said Barry.
" The kind who needs help. Our help" said Whitney
" Look, Nate about what I said before" said Barry before Nate stops him.
I already said forgive and forget. But answer me this? Would mom want you to give up? Would dad? You told me when we were younger that you and me we're going to get him out of that prison. You gonna keep that promise" said Nate
" Of course. Mom would approve of me throwing in the towel" said Barry with a smirk and Nate and Whitney are happy.
" That's my brother. Also you'll be happy to know your speed suit is up and functional" said Nate.
" Can't wait to try it. And who were those two guys that helped us before" Barry asked referring back to Wolverine and Clayface.
Members of the legion. I sent them over to help you. How do you think that officer found himself 2 blocks away" Nate said with a smirk
Good point. Have the others found a way to stop Black?" Barry asked.
" Iris and the others are at Star Labs trying to figure that out?" said Whitney
Nate's phone rings and he looks down to it.
" Well, speak of the devil" said Nate.
" Is that them right now?" said Barry.
Yep. Sup babe. What? We're on our way" said Nate hanging up
" What did they say?" said Whitney concerned.
" Trouble" was all Nate said
" Is Black attacking?" said Barry as the 3 got up.
" She didn't say, only that we have got to be there right now." said Nate
" Okay, let's go." said Barry.
The 3 speed off.
Star Labs
The three speed in and see Danton standing in front of the group.
" Black? Look like you're back for round 2!" said Barry as he raises his fists
Black does nothing.
" Anybody home? said Barry as he waves his hand in Black's face and turns to see Caitlin holding a Poliwag plush toy and Cisco a Poromon plush toy.
Wait a minute. Cisco. Caitlin. What are you two holding" Barry asked seeing the toys
" They were suppose to cheer you up" said Cisco
Thanks. But can you tell me what those plush toys are supposed to be" said Barry wondering what they are.
The tadpole thing she has is a pokemon called Poliwag and Cisco's pink legless chicken is a digimon called Poromon. Side fact I actually met those things and also this ain't Black is it" asked Nate
" Aww their adorable" said Barry.
" Let's focus here people and if you wanna see cute you should see the real things." said Nate.
Sorry. (To "Black") Do you have an idea what you nearly caused me to do, Black" said Barry.
" Barry" said Nate getting him to focus.
" It's wierd why is he just standing there" said Whitney
" Because it's not receiving anything from Black" said Nate.
" Wait a minute. This is a clone" said Barry pointing to it.
" Yes and I'd like to know how you were able to get a hold of one" said Nate turning to Caitlin
I isolated a sample of Black's blood from Barry's suit" said Caitlin
" and you exposed the target cells to a protein gel and you get this. Impressive" said Nate making Caitlin blush
You know we're going to have to follow this thing if it starts to move again, right" said Lisa
" Wait let it move if it does" said Nate walking up a little bit closer to it
Then we follow it to the real Multiplex, right" said Cisco making his poromon talk
No we keep it alive just long enough for me to do what i need to do" said Nate
" Okay Nate" said Caitlin making the Poliwag plushy talk
" Guys focus now jokes later. If Black has a psychic connection with these things then maybe i can use my psychic powers to trace the connection and see where he's going next" said Nate
" Wouldn't it be easier to just let it take us to Black" said Iris
" No because we need to stop him now" said Nate.
" Good point" said Whitney
" If i had a dollar for everytime I heard that. Did you guys find a way to fix Barry's fainting problem." Nate asked.
" Yeah I did with these protein bars" said Cisco showing one to Barry
The clone begins to move making Whitney and Caitlin scream getting away from it
" Vine snare!" said Nate as vines shot from his fingers wrapping around the clone
" Hurry do your psychic thing!" said Iris as they backed from it.
The clone struggles in the vines as Joe walks in with his gun out.
" Done! Okay Joe!" said Nate as he unraveled the clone and Joe shot it
" Way to kill that meanie!" said Cisco making his poromon talk
" Dude really? Okay guys me and Joe know where it was going. Stagg Industries let's suit up and hero up!" said Nate
" Good look, you guys" said Caitlin making her polywag talk.
" What are you talking about? Your coming, aren't you" said Nate
" That was the polywag talking, of course of coming" said Caitlin as she goes to get her outfit.
" You bet your hot, icy ass you are babe" said Nate as he then chuckles.
" Hot, icy ass?" repeated Cisco in hus Vibe suit
" What she's a hot babe and she has ice powers. I think I'll bring along some help" said Nate
More Legion members?" Barry asked in his new suit
" Not exactly." said Nate as he shows a pokeball and a digivice (Digimon season 2)
" No way" said Cisco as he starts getting excited.
" Are you bringing who I think you're bringing" said Caitlin barely holding in her excitement
" Poliwrath come on out! You too Hawkmon" said Nate as he throws the pokeball in the air and the digivice glows
The ball opens up and a light comes out of it and it's shown to be a real life Poliwrath and out of the digivice comes out Hawkmon
Caitlin squeals happily and hugs Nate and kisses him before getting Poliwrath into a hug. Poliwrath blushes.
" Ready for action, Nathan!" Hawkmon says as he then sees the Poromon toy " Is that my Poromon form?" Hawkmon asked as he points to the toy.
Cisco faints but Iris and Whitney catch him.
" Guess fan-boy couldn't handle meeting his favorite Digimon" said Lisa as she laughs
Hawkmon looks down to see the clone" Is that a dead body?!" he shouted in fear.
Nate kneels down to Hawkmon's side.
" It's a clone not the actual thing buddy, the guy getting up is Cisco, he's gonna be your partner for today, also in battle call him Vibe." said Nate
" Pleased to meet you, Cisco" said Hawkmon as he gives a bow and holds out his hand.
" Uh, good to meet you too" said Cisco as he shakes Hawkmon's hand.
" Black's gonna have a hard time with us now" said Barry in full confidence.
" That's the point. Also Cisco I'd advise using Shurimon, he may have destructive power, but he won't wreck the place." said Nate advicing Cisco what armored digimon to change Hawkmon.
" Sounds good" said Cisco before he realized something.
" Wait, how am I supposed to keep up with you guys? Caitlin can do her mist thing to keep up but what about me?" he said.
" Would you care to ride on my back?" Hawkmon suggested
That's okay Hawkman I got this. Okay quick training lesson. If you can manipulate the vibrational waves around you, imagine if you were able to remove all vibrational waves away from you as you run?" said Nate tell Cisco he is basically a speedster.
" I can do that?" said Cisco as he looks at Nate.
" And so much more. Okay guys, it's battle time" said Nate trying a catchphrase.
" Okay dude stay with that, that's a good into battle catchphrase" said Cisco the others agreed.
" Yeah I mean I already have a pre-battle thing but before we go I'm going as someone else." said Nate as he pulls out the OOO driver.
Then he pulls out three yellow metals one has a lion on it the other two a tiger and a cheetah.
" Now guy's cover your eyes." said Nate as he puts the 3 medals into the belt and they do what he said.
He grabs the scanner
Henshin! he said as he scans the 3 medals.
Lion, Tora, Cheetah: (Roar) La-Tah La-Tah, La-Tora~~Tar
A bright light is shown and everyone sees that Nate had become OOO Latorartah combo
" Okay let's go!" he said.
Everyone leaves for Stagg Industries
Stagg Industries
We see Stagg standing in front of 3 Danton's as they are about to shoot.
But Barry races in and grabs him and puts him back in his office.
" Stay put, old man" Barry said as he rushes back out to see Caitlin and the others taking on Danton clones.
" Look can't we just talk about this? I know he stole your research but that doesn't mean you should kill him?" said Barry trying to reason with them but they turned to shoot him but he speeds and dodges them and takes them down.
" Barry! I'm pretty this is more than Stagg stealing his research!" said Nate from his position as he attacks his clones with his claws.
" You're right, this is about my wife, Elizabeth." said a Danton clone as Nate turns around and sees Shifter take him down in a white were-tiger form.
" Let me guess, she had a degenerative coronary disease and she was running out of time, and you were gonna grow her one?" said Nate figuring it out pretty quick.
" Yes but Stagg stole the research for himself and I had to bury my best friend. Now I'm alone" said a Danton clone.
" Oh what?! Now dude, I wanna kill this guy!" said Cisco from his spot as Shurimon slices two clones in half with his ninja star arms.
" Likewise." said Caitlin as Iris, Whitney and Lisa agree with her.
Nate looks around after he slows down time and sees one of the Danton's sweating and he looks to Barry and Barry nods and goes after it.
He grabs Black and slams him into a metal pole knocking him and the clones out.
Barry looks down from his point and sees Nate back in his armor form and the others standing and looking at the down clones.
" We win" said Barry into the comms back at Star Labs to Wells and Joe.
" Yeah we do!" said Cisco excited.
Nate looks up to Barry and sees Black standing up.
He races up and grabs Black and takes him to another part of the building.
Nate stands in front of Black as he gets up.
" You were about to kill yourself, weren't you Black?" said Nate
He starts walking around Black
" When you were up there with my younger brother. You were going to jump out the window, weren't you?" said Nate
" Of course I was!" shouted Black in anger.
The others arrive to hear the conversation
" Why? You can move on with your life. Forget Stagg, I can take you away from here to a place where you can start over. Let me help you!" said Nate desperate to try and save him
My wife is dead! I have nothing to live for now" shouted Black as you can see tears building in his eyes
You can stay alive, join me. Join my hero group the legion, I can help you put Stagg away forever" said Nate
Black shakes his head.
No! What I want is to rejoin my wife. So if you won't let me kill myself, then I should at least die at your hands" said Black as tears really begin to fall.
Nate stands straight.
" Is that what you want? Okay, close your eyes, I'll make it quick and painless" said Nate as he begins to walk to Black
Black smiles and gets up and closes his eyes" Thank you" he said.
Nate starts to vibrate his hand.
" May you find peace in another life" said Nate
Then he shoves the vibrating hand through Black's chest.
He catches Black as he begins to fall.
He raises a hand up and closes Black's eyes.
He stands with Black in his arms.
" I can't believe Black didn't want us to save him" said Barry wishing it could've gone different
" Some people, little brother, when they're broken are nearly impossible to be put back together." said Nate
" We should at least give him a proper burial." said Iris.
" We will, I'll give him over to the paramedics coming. After that I'm gonna have some words with Stagg, alone" said Nate as anger grew in his voice.
" Ok" said Barry
Nate turns to the doors and sees the flashes of the ambulances arriving and sees news crews reporting
" It's time to show the world, Central City's guardian" said Nate
" You guys head back to Star Labs, I'll catch up with you later" said Nate
He takes a deep breath as then turns back around to see them still there.
" I'll be okay" said Nate in a gentle tone.
He watches them leave.
He takes a deep breath and straightens himself.
He walks out the doors.
Star Labs
We see Barry and the rest of them come racing into the Cortex.
" How'd it go?" said Wells
Barry ignores him and turns on the TV, seeing Mason Bridge reporting at the scene at Stagg Industries
" Where's Nate" said Joe.
" You're about to see him" said Caitlin.
" Wait you mean he's gonna show himself on National TV?" said Wells.
Nobody says anything as they keep watching until they see Nate carrying Black to the paramedics on TV.
" Oh my god" said Joe as he can't believe Nate is doing this.
Back at Stagg Industries.
Silence is all that's heard except for the footsteps that Nate makes as he walks over to the paramedics.
He hands Black's body to the paramedics as they put it on a stretcher.
" Make sure he gets a proper burial and is buried beside his wife." Nate said to them.
The male paramedic nods and they leave.
The reporters begin to swarm him with questions.
" Mason Bridge, Central City Picture News, who are you and what are you doing here?" the reporter said.
" My name is Ultraspeed and I came to tell the world that Central City is not as safe as it appears and that there is a group of superheroes here to protect it." said Nate
" What do you mean" Mason asked as he puts the microphone back toward Nate.
" Ever since the particle accelerator explosion many people were affected by it. Turning them into meta-humans, people with powers. But my team the Legion is here to protect Central City from anyone who seeks to do evil in it." said Nate.
" Is that what happened to Danton Black, the man you carried out died." said Mason.
" Yes, because of Simon Stagg, Black became a villain, he wanted to rejoin his dead wife." said Nate.
" What do you mean?" said Mason.
" Stagg stole Black's research on organ replication. Black was trying to save his wife who had a heart problem, but Stagg stole the research making Black have to bury his best friend." said Nate
" No more questions" said Nate as he then sped off to have a chat with Stagg.
Nate speeds in front of Stagg scaring him and making him back up.
I hope your proud of your self you greedy son of a bitch. You caused that mans death all because you wanted to make a buck off of his research which he used to save his wife, damn it! I hope sometime soon you die and rot in the flames of hell!" said Nate with rage laced in his voice.
He speeds off to Star Labs.
Star Labs
Everyone turns to see Nate walking in without his armor on.
" Do you have any idea what you've done" said Wells with anger in his voice a little.
" Told the world what Central City faces and that the Legion is here to protect it. Where's Joe, Iris, Lisa and Whitney" said Nate.
" They left" said Barry
" I trust you know what you're doing" said Wells.
" I'm sorry Dr. Wells, for everything." said Nate as everyone turns to him.
" For what?" Wells asked as he turned around.
" For thinking you were Eobard Thawne" said Nate
Everyone looks to Nate as he said that.
" It's alright, Nathan. We all make mistakes." said Wells.
No it's not alright ever since my micro cameras saw you stand up in that secret room of yours and those newspaper articles I've thrown away every sign of friendship you've given me. That's why i didn't trust you. But I want some truth how were you standing in that room and what were those articles?" Nathan asked wanting some form of an answer
" Okay the truth is: I met and know Eobard. I guess you can see he was my partner." said Wells shocking everyone with the news.
" You knew him!? How could you be friends with the man who killed mine and Barry's mother!?" said Nate in true anger
I didn't know he was here to kill your mother! If i did I would've tried to kill him myself!" said Wells as he shouted in defence
Nate takes a deep breath to calm down Caitlin walks over to him.
" How did you two even meet?" asked Barry
I met him before the Particle Accelerator." Wells Started.
I found him just about dead in the forest when I was taking a hike near my home in the mountains with my wife. We helped him get back on his feet and he told us his name and why he was here. He said he was looking for a friend of his, something about changing something for the better. In the mean time he helped me start up Star Labs and we became partners. I thought I could trust him. He told me I would lose my legs and so he created a chamber here in the labs and in my house so I could walk for short moments. He then showed us newspaper articles written by Iris-Allen-West. He said his other mission there was to correct the timeline. When he showed his true face, his real reason, I, I couldn't even stop him. It's all my fault, your mother is dead.
Removes his glasses as tears start running down his face
" So he tricked you?" said Barry
Yes, he tricked me into finding your house when he promised me he'd save my wife from dying. Only for her to die by his hand in a car accident. He said it was a pleasure doing business with you. I'm so sorry, if I didn't trust him. None of this would've happened" said Wells berating himself.
He was from the future. Even if you didn't trust him, he still would've found another way to kill mom" said Nate trying to calm him down
I know but I should've done something some way to stop him but I couldn't. That's one of the reasons why I'm helping you two. To possibly try and redeem myself for what I had done" said Wells
Nate walks over and kneels beside him.
Look, you need to stop living in the past. You may not have saved mom but you can still help us save other innocent people. He stands up.
With us. Now let's wipe the slate clean and start over anew. Nate stretches out his hand to Wells
Wells wipes his face to get rid of the tears and shakes Nate's hand ' I'll believe your story, for now' Nate thought in his head
Cisco gets a party popper
" Alright Party time!" he said popping it just as Joe walks in with Iris, Whitney and Lisa each holding some boxes of pizzas.
" Dang talk about good timing" said Nate.
" Do we wanna know what you're celebrating for?" said Joe.
Wells goes to say something but Nate says something instead.
" Just us celebrating officially becoming a team." said Nate
Wells looks over to Nate and he smiles and nods
" Well come and get them while their hot." said Lisa as they start putting down the pizzas.
" Wait let me take a guess, detective style, the one's you have, Joe, are pepperoni, olives and jalapenos?" Nate guessed
" Got it in one and there's extra cheese with sausage and pepperoni, plain pepperoni, and extra cheese" Joe said.
Wells rolls over and helps himself to a slice of extra cheese
Barry grabs a box and opens it and grabs a slice.
" Wait this needs something more" said Nate.
He races off and comes back and around them is various liter bottles of sodas (Coke, Mountain Dew etc.) ,Water, cups and plates
" Now it's a celebration" said Nate as he gets himself a cup of Coke.
" You got that right dude!" said Cisco as he was amazed by what Nate did and gets himself some Mountain Dew
Soon everyone gets themselves a drink.
" Barry, you were wrong" said Joe as he stands with his arms crossed
" Barry's been wrong a lot this week, gotta be more specific" said Nate.
" When he said the thing driving him was your mother's death, it's also getting your father out of jail." said Joe.
" Which we will all do, together." said Whitney as she moves over to Barry
Nate clears his throat getting everyone's attention.
He raises his cup.
" To family and the team" he said making a toast.
Everyone repeats it.
" Hey Iris, do you still need help with your article?" asked Barry
" Nope, I actually got something for it. This." She said as she gestures around her
" What do you mean" asked Lisa
" She means she's gonna be posting on their our heroic actions, without telling who we are." said Nate.
" That may help change everyone's view on Star Labs" said Caitlin
" We can all hope" said Wells
" Enough talk let's eat." said Nate.
" Way ahead of you." said Cisco grabbing 3 slices of sausage and pepperoni
They spend the night partying until they go home.
Later that night at Allen Industries after Wells killed Stagg
We see Nate standing at a window, in his room, looking down at the city.
Gideon had just informed him that Stagg had been killed.
" At least Stagg finally paid the price" said Nate as he hated that man for what he did to Black
" Now to find out where you are Eobard" said Nate as he turns around
" Sir shouldn't you try and find Stagg's killer" Gideon asked
I think I already know, Gideon" as he still believes Wells is hiding something
And sir what about Wells? Are you certain he was telling you the truth when you asked about the information we saw" Gideon asked
Some of it may be the truth. But I think he was still covering his tracks" Said Nate ,while he still doesn't trust Wells on the inside.
" What will you do now?" Gideon asked
I'll wait until he shows his true colors. And then, he has my permission to die" said Nate as he makes a metal hand and clenches it.
I hope so too. For mine and Barry's sakes. Okay Gideon, remind me sometime tomorrow to start working on project Waverider and to make you your cyber body" said Nate
Understood, sir" Gideon said as she makes the reminders
Oh and send a command to the nanobots at Star Labs to return home" said Nate as he wanted Wells to give him his trust.
Very well, sir. Nanobots, return home immediately" Gideon ordered as Nathan turns and sees a camera in his lab to see them returning to a jar.
Nate yawns
Good night Gideon, tell the girls in their rooms I said good night also" Nathan said as he gets into bed.
I will, sir. Girls, Nathan says good night" Gideon said.
Over the intercom system Nate hears the girls saying good night to him.
" Good night Gideon" said Nathan as he goes to sleep.
" Good night sir" She said as she powers down.
