So here it is, the long awaited and possibly the penultimate chapter but who knows 'cause i don't. And sorry it took sooooo long, i have been seriously busy. But anyway, enjoy :D


When the coast was clear; Green Arrow and Cyborg ran across the airfield to the warehouse where they knew A.C and Bart were. They were counting on the fact that anyone who'd be interested in their presence was otherwise engaged and that Aquaman was the only one who could see them on screen.

A.C's voice crackled in their ears 'Okay guys, head through the door to your left, there're two x-rays about 4 feet behind it, both armed with semi-automatics'

"Gotcha" Ollie replied before smashing the door open and firing a tazer arrow at the first guy who went down almost immediately. Unfortunately the other man did not go down so easily; he opened fire, spraying bullet after bullet at the vigilantes, they retreated back through the doorway, using the wall for cover. The man unloading his gun at them slammed his elbow (he used his elbow because both his hands were holding his weapon) onto a large red button on his walkie-talkie which sent an alert to everyone in the facility, informing them that they were under attack.

When he'd eventually emptied his round into the wall, the ground and well, everything except his targets, Cyborg rammed into him and throw him into a nearby wall before he had chance to reload. He slumped to the ground unconscious just as sirens and red lights began to go off; obviously their uninvited presence had not gone unnoticed.

"Aquaman! Where's Impulse?!" Green Arrow shouted into his communicator

"Straight ahead, then the third turning on the left, carry on down until you reach a reinforced double door, should be heavily guarded on both the outside and inside."

"Gotcha, is there any other –less guarded- way of getting in?"

"Not unless you want to blast yourself through the roof, it's not reinforced against explosives like the walls are."

"Brilliant, get down to the main door, Cyborg will meet you there, I'm going to need a diversion. And the two of you be careful." Ollie said before running back through the door they'd just come through.

"Cyborg, meet me by the-"

"Hey! You're not supposed to be in here!"

"Aquaman?! What's going on?" Victor demanded but got no reply, there was no time to wait, he knew he had to get to the double door.

Elsewhere A.C was forced to stand up with his hands on his head by two of Thawne's men standing in the doorway, their guns trained on his forehead and chest.

"Guys, let's talk about this" he said calmly

"SHUT UP!" one shouted as they moved towards him. He heard two gunshouts ring out…


Meanwhile Ollie had gotten on to the roof of the warehouse and was using a heat detector to find where Bart was, he came to a stop when the device spiked by 15 degrees, something in the room below was radiating a lot of heat, it had to be the device Bart was powering.

"Cyborg, are you in position."

"I am, but no sign of Aquaman. Wait, no he's here."

"Good then you know what to do. Good luck." With that Arrow closed the comm.-link.

"Dude, what took you?" Victor asked as they threw smoke bombs at the guards running towards them.

"I got held up, two guys found me, they were about to shoot me, someone got them first, I thought it was you or the boss, but then I saw they'd both been shot in the back of the head." A.C said as he head butted a guard.

"Weird, any idea who it was?" Cybord questioned as he slammed his fist into the floor causing a massive shockwave to travel down the corridor and knock down a number of men like they were bowling pins.

"Yeah, I think I do." He replied while smashing his foot into the face of a man still standing.

Inside the room the time machine was almost at full power.

"What the hell is going on out there?!" Thawne demanded.

"Two of Green Arrows men are trying to get in, but even if they take down all our men, there's no way they'll get through that door- it's shut down, can only be opened from in here." Mishkin replied swiftly.

"You're sure about that?"

"Positive sir."

"The machine will be fully powered within a matter of minutes." Thawne said, glancing at the blur that was his grandson "Soon you and I shall make history Bart."

The roof above his head suddenly exploded and Thawne feel to the floor as something heavy landed on top of him and it wasn't just remnants of the destroyed roof.

"Did you miss me?" Green Arrow's distorted voice growled behind him as he was forced to his feet by the archer.

"Nobody move" he shouted as he shot the unnamed guard in the shoulder, pinning him to the wall with a taser arrow which then knocked him unconscious.

"Impulse! It's me, you can stop running."

Thawne sniggered in his grip " He can't hear you, he's not in control. I AM!"

"What?!"

"The machine is fully powered so Bart, kill the Green Arrow."

Before Ollie could protest he was slammed in the side by a force moving faster than a bullet, Thawne moved out of his grip as Ollie focused on staying on his feet and stood next to Mishkin.

"Bart, Bart, it's me, it's Ollie, you can fight it." He shouted as he dodged hits he could barely see.

"It's no use Queen, you can't get him back, Bart is mine." Thawne said triumphantly from the sidelines.

"No!" he cried as he managed to hit the kid across the face, sending him flying across the floor, fatigue was slowing Bart down and this fight was killing him.

Ollie pressed the device in his ear "Guys, I could really use some help in here."

"There's no way we can open the door from out here, but there should be a panel next to it on your side, you know what to do." Victor's voice informed him.

"Yeah" he replied as he tripped up a speeding Bart and pulled him into a bear hug from behind with one arm and skilfully firing an arrow at the control panel next to Miskin's arm. The panel smashed and the door slid open as Cyborg burst in to the room, hitting Mishkin over the head and wrapping his arm around Thawne's neck and putting a stolen gun to his head.

"It's the helmet isn't it?!" Ollie demanded as he noticed there was blood on his hand, it was Bart's, from his arm, the stitches holding a large wound shut had come loose.

"Yes, it is" Thawne said slowly "and you can't forcibly remove it, that'll kill him or at least paralyse him permanently from the neck down and we both know he'd hate that."

"Tell me how to get it off" Ollie insisted as he struggled to contain the kid.

"And why would I do that?"

Arrow nodded at Cyborg who took Thawnes hand in his own and proceeded to squeeze with unnatural strength, he screamed as the bones in his hand grinded together and snapped.

"Now, tell me how to remove it."

"These violent tactics won't work on me Queen, he only responds to me, if you kill me, you'll never stop him." He said between pants of pain.

"Got it, shut him up." Ollie told Vic, who brought his hand under Thawne's chin, slamming his teeth together and shutting him up.

"Bart stop" Thawnes voice said from Ollies pocket, the kid stopped struggling against Arrow and just stood, not moving. "I recorded everything you've said Thawne, I figured it was only your voice controlling him. Cyborg, do you think you'll be able to remove it?"

"I'll tap into the network; see if I can find the blueprints for it." Vic replied as he slammed Thawne into the wall where he was swiftly apprehended by Ollie.

Aquaman suddenly ran through the door "Guys, we've got more company, there're about 50 guys heading in the direction from all over the facility and what the hell's wrong with him?!" He said looking at Bart who was standing perfectly still, his left arm stained with blood and even more peculiarly; he was surrounded by electricity, it bounced off his skin and came out of his eyes, like it was part of him.

"What is it?!" Ollie addressed Thawne.

"It's the speed force… it wants him."


Dun dun dunnnn, worth the wait? probably not, too many unansewered questions, like who shot the guards? What is this speed force you speak off? and anyone seen Lex lately...?

so let me know what you think and i'll try and update again soon [:
