Part 58
On Friday morning members of team Flash were stationed in and around Henry Allen's clinic. Against Barry's objections Caitlin was inside the clinic in Henry's office. She had told him that she would not be in any danger. One everyone on the team was going to have a com and tracker. Cisco had stayed back at Star Labs with Jay's wife Joan to run and monitor everything. Ralph was going to be in the waiting room using his shapeshifting abilities to hide in plain sight. Jesse and Wally were going to be across the street in the park. Charlie and Ronnie would be in the diner next door to the clinic. Barry would also be in the clinic hiding in the supply room. Marlize had her husband at the clinic right on time. Everything nearly went as planned until DeVoe stopped Henry from giving him the injection.
"Dr. Allen, I can not let you give me that shot. I know what that really is. Though I had predicted that it would be at least another year before your daughter in law and Mr. Ramon would come up with it." Said DeVoe
"I have no idea what you are talking about. This is just a standard flu shot." Said Henry
"Dr. Allen, don't play dumb. You are much too smart for that. Though nowhere near as smart as I am. Besides, my wife is not as smart as she thinks she is. She is far too dependent on emotions."
"He is on to us." Said Caitlin into her com.
"I am going in." Said Barry
Barry took off in a streak of lightning, grabbed the injector from his dad and injected the cure into DeVoe. Jesse, Wally and Jay were right behind him. Caitlin and Ralph soon followed with Charlie and Ronnie right behind them.
"I should have known that you would force your metahuman cure on me Mr. Allen. But I had not counted on it being ready by this point in time." Said DeVoe
"Well I know you believe that you are the fastest mind alive. Or at least used to be. But here is one thing you don't know about the speed force. It doesn't just give someone the ability to run fast. It speeds up the mind as well." Said Jay
"Mr. Garrick the former Flash. Aren't you getting a bit old to play the hero?" Asked DeVoe
"Well aren't you a bit old to be acting like you are? You are on the verge of a temper tantrum because you have been outsmarted by a bunch of young people who don't just think with their minds but with their hearts." Said Jay
"The only reason that you are not being arrested is because there is no evidence you did anything illegal because we stopped you before you could." Said Barry
"Marlize, take your husband home." Said Caitlin
"Let's go Clifford. It is over." Said Marlize
"Maybe for now. But that does not mean I will not find another way to bring forth the enlightenment." Said DeVoe
They moved out of the way and let DeVoe leave.
"Let's get back to Star Labs." Said Barry
"Son, I would not recommend running at super speed with Caitlin in her condition." Said Henry
"Barry, I have my car outside. So how about I meet you there?" Asked Caitlin
"I really don't have much of a choice. But I would feel better if you had Ralph ride with you." Said Barry
"I promise to keep my hands to myself." Said Ralph
"Fine. Let's get going. Even if we leave now we will be the last to arrive."
"Let's go Snowflake."
Charlie and Ronnie headed out the backway into the alley. They then took to the air. Charlie using her frost blast to push her through the air. Ronnie using his plasma blast to do the same.
"See you later son. Check with Caitlin and see if she wants to come over for Sunday dinner." Said Henry
"I will dad, love you."
"Love you son."
"Jesse, you and Wally should come too."
"We will dad." Said Jesse
"We will?" Asked Wally
"Yes. Besides I don't know how many others we will be around for. I am thinking we should head to Blue Valley to help out the kids of the new JSA." Said Jesse
"That would be a good idea. I can call my friend and let him know if you decide to go." Said Jay
"We will let you know." Said Jesse
"Great, see you kids back at the lab."
Jay took off. Barry, Jesse and Wally looked at each other then took off after him. Henry just smiled and went to see his next patient.
Barry smiled when Caitlin and Ralph walked into the cortex. She was drinking a milkshake and Ralph looked green."
"Allen do you have any idea what is in that shake your wife is drinking?" Asked Ralph
"I have some. Strawberry with hot sauce?" Asked Barry
"And chocolate." Said Caitlin
The rest of team Flash looked a little sick.
"I was close." Said Barry
"Big Belly Burger actually made you that shake?" Asked Ronnie
"Yep. Turns out there is this whole secret pregnant women menu there. They gave me a list of what is on it. This shake is on it listed as PW8." Said Caitlin
"I only just found out about it myself." Said Barry
"Remind me to never go anywhere with any pregnant woman ever." Said Cisco
"You might feel different when it is your baby the woman is pregnant with." Said Barry
Cisco just shook his head and headed out.
Ramsey Russo looked over his notes. He was close to finding a possible cure for HLH. But it was troubling him finding a bonding agent. The only one that was working in any of his simulations was dark matter. Which after the Star Labs particle accelerator explosion was now considered a controlled substance due to it being able to alter DNA and create metahumans. If you did not already have access to it then you had to know someone that did. You also had to apply for a permit to use it. Unless someone already authorized worked with you. Luckily he knew someone that might help him. He picked up his phone and made a call. It went right to voicemail so he left a message.
"Cait, it's Ramsey Russo. There is something I would like to talk to you about. Let me know if we can meet up and discuss it."
