I hope you enjoy the chapter.

I do now own +++++++

Twenty-Eight

I hadn't told Barry or anyone that I was coming back to Central City so when I showed up at STAR Labs everyone was genuinely surprised. I let myself in to find that I'd been actually given access to the labs. It was about time to be honest.

I made my way to the control room counting my steps as I went like I used to do when I was a kid.

My brother was on the phone when I got there and he sounded panicked. Whatever was going on, there was a thick kind of pressure in the air that was heavy on my shoulders. "Captain Singh, I've been trying to get in touch with Joe or anyone at the precinct," Barry frowned, not noticing I was there. He was quiet and his face fell before the phone was hung up on him. "Wait!"

"Barry?" Caitlin frowned.

"Joe and Iris are in trouble," Barry whispered. "I need my powers back now."

"Come again?" I spoke up. I circled around and grabbed Barry's arm. "You lost your powers?"

"We can talk about this later, Miss Allen," Wells replied. "The important thing here is that we focus on any theory we have to get Mr Allen his powers back."

"Not whilst Iris and Joe are in trouble," I replied. I took my bag off and unzipped my jacket.

Barry grabbed my arm. "Charlie-you sure you can handle this?"

I glared him down. "Barry regardless of what is going on with me right now Joe and Iris are in trouble. I can…no I will be doing this." I wrenched my arm away and went to the locker room to get into my suit.

Caitlin came in behind me. "How was your trip?" she asked me. "Are you feeling alright?"

I paused with my shirt up over my head. "Yeah…I think I'm okay. I was a good few days away. I sorted some of my shit out. Thanks for asking Caitlin now do you mind?"

Caitlin stepped back and let me change.

I came back out minutes later all suited up and took Pisces helmet off the hook on the wall. "Work on fixing whatever is wrong with Barry. I'd hate to be solo, partner?" I smiled, holding my hand out to him.

Barry shook my hand. "Go save our family."

I grinned and headed down to the garage where Pisces bike was. The blue and black motorbike was just like the ones Shade and Cypher both had, even had my name on the back. I loved this bike as much as I loved my regular one. I pushed the red button that pulled the garage door up only for it to stop halfway up. I frowned and suddenly froze when the power went out. I pressed the com in my ear and frowned when it wasn't working. "Power's out…that's odd…"

"I'm hungry…so hungry…"

I looked around the garage, noticing a figure in the garage from the small amount of light in the room. I rubbed my fingers together and some small section of nanites dripped off my hand and onto the floor. "Big Belly Burger is just around the corner," I spoke loud enough to catch the guy's attention.

His head snapped up in the darkness. "So hungry…you'll do."

I jumped back just in time for the obvious meta-human to completely fry my bike. "Oh you son of a bitch!" I snapped, landing on the ground behind my fried bike. Still kneeling, I held my hand up and ripped the water running through a pipe in the wall out to cover me. I may have been a high school failure but I knew enough to understand that water and electricity do not mix but water is an excellent conductor against electricity. I threw the water at him, soaking him to the bone.

"Pisces?" Cisco whispered through my com. The nantines had gotten there quicker than I thought.

"Yeah I'm here," I replied, ducking behind a service van.

"Doctor Wells said you gotta go," Cisco told me. "Barry said we'd be fine. Go get Joe and Iris."

I paused. "This moron fried my bike."

"Go, Charlie," Barry spoke over the com.

I sighed. "Okay. Keep the bots just in case." I rolled underneath the car and zig-zagged to the door. Using every considerable inch of energy I had, I jumped on the garage door and forced it down, hoping that it would trap this meta-human inside…

…with my considerably powerless teammates.


The police of CCPD had the police station surrounded when I arrived. Dropping out of the air I landed with catlike grace on a police car, drawing all attention onto me. I rolled my eyes and jumped to the ground with my hands in the air.

"I understand you're in need of hostage rescue?" I asked the Captain.

Captain Sign frowned. "I don't think we need your help, miss."

"If you're waiting for The Flash he's a little busy at the moment," I answered, putting my hands down. "I came in his place…"

"What exactly do you propose you do?" Singh demanded. "Tockman said he'd kill anyone who got in the way."

"William Tockman?" I asked. "We've clashed boots before back in Starling. Give me ten minutes then he's all yours." Jumping over the top of the car, I rolled along the ground and got to my feet ignoring the feel of the guns aimed at my back.

The police near the front door let me in and once I was inside, a kind of calm.

I made my way up the stairs, oddly reminded of the nursery song mum used to sing to me.

"Tick tock, goes the clock, it's time for you to go to bed," I smirked, walking up the stairs. "Tick tock goes the clock, put down your sleepy head. Hello, William Tockman."

"You!" he hissed, seeing me standing there with my hands up in the doorway of the bullpen. "Different suit but it's still you. What are you doing here?"

"Oh me?" I asked him with a smirk. "Kicking your ass."

I threw an ice ball at him and dove over the desk of one of the detectives. Landing on the ground I pulled water from the pipes running through the wall, hitting him with the force of a brick wall.

Tockman was thrown through the air and landed on the ground hard.

I approached him slowly, pulling the water back as I went.

He just lay there on the floor but as I went to check for a pulse, he sprang up and grabbed me. "You're my ticket out of here," he hissed in my hear.

"Are you kidding me?" laughed. The gun was pressed against my torso but it was pointing straight up to his heart. "Alright you son of a bitch." I hissed. "Tick tock asshole. Lights out."

A loud resounding bang echoed throughout the police station and the gun dropped to the floor. I collapsed beside Tockman as Joe ran over to me. He pulled his jacket off and pressed it over the wound. "Are you insane?" he gasped.

"Get the fucking bullet out and I'll heal," I hissed.

"Dad!" Iris gasped.

"Iris get me that letter opener!" Joe yelled.

"Dad!" she objected as police started coming into the building.

"IRIS!" Joe yelled.

Iris rushed over to the desk and came back with what he'd asked for. She handed it to her father and I grabbed her leg. "Pisces?" she frowned, kneeling down by my head.

I grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly. "Sorry but this is gonna hurt," I whispered.

"Sorry," he whispered. Joe cleared his throat before he jammed the letter opener inside the bullet path.

I threw my head back and screamed.

Iris squeezed my hands tightly and watched as her father pulled the bullet out. "Woah…"

The moment it was out of my body, I could feel it starting to heal. Iris helped me sit up, watching in horror and fascination at the healing wound until eventually there was nothing there but pink skin then blue suit. I jumped to my feet with a grin. "Good as new. Thanks Iris, Detective." I ran at the window and crashed straight through it.

Joe and Iris were safe…god I hoped that Barry and the others were okay…only problem is…how do I tell Barry that CCPD now has a DNA sample especially when mines in the system?

The fact that I'd killed a person hadn't even started to set in yet.
