Hey guys here's the next chapter tell me what you think please

I only own the plot

Another week goes by, Irey is as busy as ever rounding up criminals and crooks that seemed to make their way out of the woodwork after they heard that there was a new flash in town. The hero was going to have to prove to them that she was as good or better than the last Flash and until then they would all want to take a whack at her.

Most of the Rouges were already in prison at that point. The only ones that remained at large were Capt. Boomerang, Mirror Master and Capt. Cold. That was until Irey came upon them robbing a bank in Keystone. Immediately as she arrived to the First National Bank of Keystone she knocked out Mirror Master. She would've done the same to the others but she was itching for a fight.

"Lady I don't know who you think you are, but there are rules. Flash always gave a fair fight." Boomerang sneered after she took out Cold after he refused to hit her.

Flash dodged his boomerang and charged at him. It started to annoy her that they always compared her to the other Flashes. "Well I'm not him." She replied before subduing him. Irey tied them up and waited for the cops. After a quick word for the press she sped off to work before her lunch break was up.

The rest of that week was particularly quiet until Irey came upon Grodd stirring up mayhem in downtown Central. By this time she was at her wit's end with villains trying to see if they could beat the new Flash. It irritated her quite a bit that everyone felt the need to question her and compare her instead of letting her do her job. She had yet to gain their respect. So when she saw Grodd she saw an opportunity.

"Yo! Fuzz butt!" she shouted at the overgrown ape from across the street where he was currently wrecking cars. Irey grinned at the look on his face when he turned around. She remembered how her father would irritate Grodd to no end.

"Why is it that all Flashes are immature and childish with their banter, I mean can't you say something witty every once and a while?" the gorilla sighed as he picked up a jeep to throw at the hero.

"I'd like to think my banter is quite witty, it takes a lot of smarts to come up with a name like fuzz butt. Want to hear all of my other names I've come up with for you?" Flash asked dodging the car.

"No, I'd rather see to your demise." Grodd answered.

"Well that's not gonna happen so I'm just going to list them off. You're such a lame ass monkey." She retorted.

"Child, if you are trying to anger me you might as well quit it. It's never going to work." He said chucking another vehicle at her.

"Then why can I sense irritation in your voice you banana ass flea licker."

"Just because I'm irritated by your insults doesn't mean I'm angry."

"Whatever your say Mr. Monkey." Irey could tell he was starting to get sloppy.

"I'm not a monkey!"

"That doesn't matter. Do you ever bathe, I mean I could smell you from a mile away and mister let me tell you something. YOU STINK!"

Irey smiled as his eye started to twitch. "Shut up you stupid child." He hissed.

She feigned being hurt. "Aww, is that the best you can come up with."

Grodd let out an enraged roar and the speedster took this as her cue to strike. She grabbed a fire hose off the side of one of the nearby buildings. It wasn't that hard to tie up the gorilla and he was too angry to think straight. Finally he gave up fighting the hose that wrapped around him tightly and submitted.

Flash wore a triumphant smirk as the police carted the ape in a truck. Spectators clapped and cheered for her giving the hero approval. She was in high spirits for once as she talked to some of the reporters. Things were actually going her way until one of the officers walk up to her.

"Excuse me Flash, Grodd has something to tell you and he said it can't wait."

"What do you mean by it can't wait?"

"See for yourself I don't know."

The hero walked over to the armed vehicle where the ape was being held. Grodd wore a shit-faced grin as he saw the approaching speedster.

"What do you want?" she asked impatiently.

"To give you a message from a friend of mine." He said with a smirk.

Suspecting nothing, Irey fell for it. "What is it then?"

"He wanted me to ask you if you liked the way he redesigned the Flash museum and the Flash statue." A look of satisfaction crossed the gorilla's face as he saw the look on the scarlet speedster's face. " There's a war coming child, and it's no place for people like you. Give up while you still have a chance."

"No." She snarled, rage was evident in her voice. "Tell your friend I'm not backing down and if he has issues with that tell him I said he can go burn in hell for all I care." Irey was breaking inside.

"I'll give him the message."

"And Grodd…"

"Yes Flash?"

"There's one thing you're wrong about. The war's not coming, it's already here." The young woman then sprinted off without another word. It felt like someone was trying to carve out her heart with a butter knife.

Instead of returning back to her apartment Irey continued running. Her feelings were a mess, hell she was a mess. She broke the sound barrier somewhere around the Arizona desert, usually that was when she would slow down, but this time she kept going. As a child she was always cautious about going too fast. She feared that if she ever went too fast she would disappear like her uncle and later on her father did. Bart used to tell her that if she got over this she would unlock her full potential, but Irey never did. She could never get past the sight of seeing her father run himself out of existence. For some reason today she couldn't slow down. She was still able to do so physically, but something inside of her made her keep going. She just needed to run, she wanted to be free from it all. The world was a blur of colors as she raced by. Irey could feel herself accelerating.

Suddenly, it was almost as if she could hear someone call her name, but it was so faint she dismissed it as nothing. Then it happened again and Irey was sure she was going insane.

"Irey"

"Irey!"

"IREY!" With the last shout Flash looked over her shoulder and saw Jessie Quick and Jay Garrick running a ways behind her.

"Slow down!" the man she considered her grandfather shouted.

"IREY! You need to slow down while you still can!" Jessie yelled.

"We can't lose you too!" Jay begged. He really didn't want another speedster to meet this untimely demise. He had to borrow speed from Jessie so he could catch up with Irey.

Slowly but surely, Flash slowed down to just below the speed of sound and ran in-step with the other two.

"What the hell were you thinking!" Jessie shouted. She wasn't the closest to Irey, but the speedsters stuck together, or it least they used to.

"Honestly I-I wasn't." Flash shamefully admitted.

"What happened?" Jay asked, he knew something big had happened. Irey was never this reckless unless she had a reason.

"Everything." Irey sighed.

Jessie and Jay were somewhat aware of what happened with Jai, but they didn't know much.

"Irey, you can't run from your problems." Jessie pointed out.

"We're all here for you…" Jay began but was cut off.

"Look, I really don't want to talk about it. I appreciate you coming to stop me, I may have lost control for a second, but I need to handle this on my own. If I need help I'll let you know." And with that Irey broke off and went back to Keystone. She really wanted to be alone.

Thanks for reading, don't forget to review and I will probably post the next part tomorrow unless the world ends
