Two And A Half Hours Later At The Elkins

A loud belch and a pleased sigh escaped Wally after finishing the last of the food that Tommy had awesomely brought him from Judy's joint. "I see it, but I just don't believe it." Muttered Charles in disbelief.

"You and me both, pop."

"This kinda thing never happened back in the war."

"Wait, what?"

"You heard me! Arrow shootin' vigilantes, people running faster then the blink of an eye, serums worse then steroids that practically destroy a city, big ol' holes in the sky, alternate Earths with girls who clearly have no brains if they willing enough to break up with a good fella like Wally here! In my day when the war was goin' on, it was simple!" Ranted Charles Elkin.

Causing Wally to chuckle and wince slightly as he was still hurting a bit but thanks to the specials Tommy had brought him, his healing was kicking in to making him a lot better. Tommy stared at his dad for a moment before shaking his head. "Jeez, pop! I was meanin' more about the fact he ate 8 of Judy's specials like it was nothin'!"

"Hey, what can I say? Speedsters have a high metabolism so we need to eat a lot." Remarked Wally with a shrug.

Heck, Judy had had to have the food delivered since it had taken some time to prepare! Thankfully Charles had been quick on his feet about why they needed so much food and it seemed Judy had bought it thankfully enough. "Crazy, bro, crazy."

"It can be."

"But what really bothers me about all this? That Pellek lady hiring all that man power as that's just a little too much in my book."

"Especially when its threatening the Mugwump's life since accordin' to what everybody else says, its the last of its kind." Added Tommy with a frown.

Wally let out a breath. "I know its strong, durable enough to be unaffected by bullets, and can be pretty fast when it wants. If it wasn't for the fact I can move so quick, the chase I took that thing on probably would have ended a lot worse."

Even if he did have to engage it a few times in order to keep the thing following him. Each encounter leaving him just a bit worse for wear. His suit especially! Tommy shuddered at that mental image. "Thank God that didn't happen, bro."

"Agreed, son. Now I don't know how much longer you'll need to rest up, but take it since I get the feelin' you're gonna need it."

"Heh… Yeah, you're probably right since I'm seriously thinkin' about sneakin' into Pellek Development to see if I can find anything I can use against Tamara. Especially before its too late."

A notion that bothered him considerably! Charles nodded in understanding, even approving of it. "Good call, son."

"You gonna go in your suit? I mean, it is kinda wrecked."

"No other choice, Tommy."

Nodding at that with a frown on his face, Tommy then came up with an idea. "I could come with you, bro. Be a look out for you."

Wally tried to object to that but Charles would be the one to surprisingly back it up. Making for the two to look at the older man in surprise. "You need someone watchin' your six. And I wager Tommy can handle runnin' with you a lot better then I can at my age." Pointed out the older man in a reasonable fashion.

Seeing the validity in the man's words, Wally let out a sigh. "I sure hope I don't come to regret this."

A cheer escaped Tommy after that. "Nah, man, ya won't! West and Elkins! Back at it again!"

"That's what I'm afraid of. I still remember that near stay we had in jail." Replied Wally dryly.

"But we got lucky! And I bet we will again!" Retorted his friend while Charles decided that no, he didn't want to know!

Wally rolled his eyes. "Let me get some more rest and then we'll go from there."

"You got it!"

Man, he really hoped he wouldn't regret bringing his friend along!

Mark McMurray's Place 20 Minutes Later

The house of Mark McMurray looked wrecked thanks to the efforts of Headhunter and his remaining men as they had broken in while wearing masks to conceal their identities. All in an effort to catch the man off guard and take him out of Tamara Pellek's hair. Unfortunately however, the man was no where to be seen. "Damn, fool musta got paranoid or something." Grumbled Headhunter as he brought out his phone.

"Pellek's not gonna like that, boss."

The man sighed. "You let me worry about that. Now, let's get outta here before we get caught by the cops. Or that Speedster."

Neither of which sounded too good in any of their opinion as they hauled ass and Headhunter made a certain call. One that would leave a certain Pellek quite displeased! But she figured sooner or later that McMurray would slip up or some such and then he could be dealt with. Even ordering Headhunter and his remaining men to keep on the look out for McMurray while she prepared to have a word or two with one last hold out of Blue Valley.
