216 Chapter 2
"My name is Naruto Namikaze and I am the fastest man alive, to most people I am a scientist and to a few I am Godspeed, I'm a dimensional traveler that ended up merging with my younger dimensional counterpart got to live with my parents live another and different life. Now I help my friend Barry Allen a fellow speedster helping solve and fight crime and help him find the man who murdered his mother and framed his father for the murder. I will help find whoever did it and bring justice for Barry's family," Naruto said monologuing
(STAR labs)
"C'mon dude break the limit" Cisco said as Naruto was at 490 mph right now "how's he looking?" he asked Caitlin
"He just went to 550 and his vitals are looking fine." Caitlin said with a smirk
"You sure there's nothing else fine to look at?" Cisco said teasing her before Caitlin hit his arm."ok ow and what's Barry's current speed" he asked as Barry was on the treadmill earlier
"295" Caitlin said as Barry felt like he was to slow and often used the treadmill for a workout
"How's it that Naruto is faster than Barry" Cisco asked wondering if it was a genetic thing
"The energy in Barry's cells are less than Naruto's but I think it has to be a more physical thing" Caitlin said as she knew Naruto body was more developed than Barry's
"I think I have a theory on that." Harisson said wheeling inside "The energy in Naruto's cells is much purer than Barry's also his cells are releasing more energy like Caitlin suggested, but their physical bodies also play a factor as Barry is apparently slow without his speed while Naruto runs at a faster than normal pace" he said as he examined Naruto and Barry's physicals and bodily performances
"Why is that?" Cisco asked curiously
"Remember how Naruto was still inside the building when the accelerator exploded?" Harisson asked them getting nods from "I believe that when it exploded a small part of the energy that was expelled went to him and struck him with a more purer and stronger bolt of lightning than the lightning that struck Barry, the energy increased his body to this point." he said as he checked the footage of that night with Naruto
"The purer and stronger the bolt" Caitlin said
"The faster the speedster is now normally I theorize that with time Barry could reach that level as I believe speed plays into the color of lightning. Notice how Naruto has white lightning while Barry's is yellow?" he said getting their attention
"Are you saying their lightning may change" Cisco asked curiously
"Maybe due to something changing in their bodies since it comes from them, lightning from storms changes due to different factors like gas theirs may change due to things like drugs or something like that in their body's cells" Harisson said as he knew certain speedsters that attempted that
"So you're saying their lightning is a sign of their speed, like the wavelengths of light. The more purer the lighting the faster the speedster and white is at the end of wavelength, right?" Cisco asked curiously
"Yes but also the color may not have anything to do with it like say Mr Allen reaches Naruto's speed with his lightning is possible but he'd be faster if he had Naruto's lightning"
"Then does it represent how fast a speedster can go?" Caitlin asked curiously.
"Yes, I theorize that to be true, it could be why Naruto seems capable of reaching speeds Barry can't" Harisson said with a neutral look
"Oh this just got cooler." Cisco said with a smirk
"Indeed." Harisson said ready to do further testing
"I wonder, how could this affect his family? Like if he has kids will they gain his powers?" Caitlin said in wonder
Wells and Cisco look at her "Is Snowzuki really gone?" Cisco said with a smirk before running as Caitlin jumped at him
"Hey guys gotta take off Barry said the mob was poisoned." Naruto said as Barry called him
"Is this gonna lead to another meta? As it's been like a week and no offense but I am kinda bored." Cisco asked curiously
"True, but I rather enjoy the peace, it let's me train. Something I've been trying to get Barry to join." Naruto said as he got dressed in his regular clothing
"I sympathize with you, and considering who you are you could teach him a thing or two since you are clearly someone that can help get Barry to run faster" Harisson said as Naruto was in perfect health before the accelerator blew
"Thanks gotta go" Naruto said running off
(with Barry)
"You're right this is odd" Naruto said with how the bodies of the mob bosses were "Gotta be a meta but if they controlled or made gas it would act like a regular mist and like you said these guys look like they were taken on one by one" he said as he knew how gas vapors worked and these didn't match up with gas bombs
"The boss fell by the table, That one made it 10 feet away, this one had the chance to fire three shots trying to break the glass." Barry said pointing to two
"My gut feeling, if we're gonna solve this, we're gonna need backup." Joe said as the two know what he was hinting at
(few minutes later)
Barry and Joe watched as Naruto, Harisson, Cisco, and Caitlin nerded out about the meta's ability with gas
"And I thought I was nerdy" Barry said as he watched the interaction
"You are but this is next level stuff" Joe said with a smirk as he and Barry shared a laugh
"Hey guys I gotta go" Naruto said as he sped off
"Where's he off to in such a hurry" Barry asked curiously
"Knowing him a date" Cisco said with a sigh "it's guys like him that make it hard for guys like us to get any women" he said getting a nod of agreement from Barry
"What his girlfriend super hot" Joe asked curiously
"Girlfriends and all of them yes" Cisco said loudly clearly jealous "I swear I need some of that magic" he said as he had been single for a while
"Make sure he doesn't try that with Iris" Joe said to Barry
"Not interested" Barry said as he asked Naruto about it before and it was a little comforting to know
(with Naruto)
"Hey" Naruto said seeing Will climbing out the pool as she had just finished doing laps
"Hey" Will said as she took the towel Naruto had in his hands
"How's training? Still want to be an olympic swimmer" Naruto said as he smiled as he wondered when or if Will would remember him as when they came here she didn't know about their first life
"Great and you know it" Will said drying herself off and walked over to him giving him a small kiss
"How's your mom?" Naruto asked as Will's mom worked for an electrical division of his mother's company and Will worked with her among other jobs to get by for herself and Will
"Still can't believe how much money that asshole took when he left." Will said as her dad ran out on them taking a lot of money from them as he ran off
"Hey, let's not talk about him, you know how worked up you get when you talk about him." Naruto said as he walked her to the locker room and stood outside waiting on her.
Will went inside the locker room and went to the bathroom and blew her hair from her face not seeing the small static charge in her red locks
(few minutes later at jitters)
"Taking me to a place I work at for food wow you're cheap" Will said as employees got a discount on food
"I know plus we couldn't go far you have a shift soon, right?" Naruto said as they sat down
"Hey Will and Naruto right?" Iris said as she wanted to talk to Will about her relationship with Naruto
"How's it going, hey I heard about that blog of yours." Will asked curiously
"About what" Naruto asked sipping his coffee
"Your honey bun obsession Barry told me about?" he said putting the cup down
"I am going to hurt Barry. The streaks smart guy the red and white streaks somehow mysteriously saving people" Iris said in excitement
"Thought of giving them names?" Will said "the streak sounds kinda lame and sounds like someone whose power is to run around naked" she said with a smirk and a chuckle
"How about for Godspeed for the white one and...the Flash for the red one" Naruto said as Barry told him that someone once told him he could be a guardian angel being their in a flash
"Now that sounds like a badass name and Flash really? That sounds like someone whose power is to hide in alleys wearing a trench coat." Will said trying to suppress a laugh
"Just at that moment you sounded like Cat Grant!" Naruto said with a laugh as Kara's boss was harsh with certain names and titles
"Godspeed, I am so using that, thanks." Iris said taking an early break and grabbed her computer
"Can see why Barry likes her" Naruto said as Iris seemed passionate about writing
Iris stopped and turned to them hearing that. "Uh oh." Naruto said as he felt like he should've kept his mouth shut as he saw Iris walk away
(few minutes later)
"Whoa you got here fast" Sapphire said as she called Naruto a few minutes
"Hey you know when a friend needs me I drop everything" Naruto said as officially Stagg industries was partnering up with S.T.A.R labs on genetic developments and his mom and Sapphire talked about making a partnership with Whirlpool to help her out as she's new to all this
"Thanks again for talking to your mom and dad" Sapphire said gratefully with a smile
"No thanks needed" Naruto said with his own smile "Anyway what was your dad's plan for Black's research I mean I can't find anything in the science division" he asked curiously
"A problem my dad had was he often jumped the gun and didn't plan ahead as no scientist here fully understood Black's research" she said as even she knew that was a dumb plan stealing from a person who was the only one who knew to use it "he only made it so far with Black's previous experiments" she said as she paid for the man's funeral and went with Naruto to pay respect
Naruto looked as her smile wavered as she mentioned her dad.
"Hey remember how you wanted me to look through and see if your dad was looking into some dark stuff, like weapons and stuff? Naruto said pulling out a folder
She grabbed the folder and opened it. "Project Metamorpho?" she asked never hearing that name
"Apparently your dad was preparing to make something big" Naruto said as many things on the file was darkened out
"What's so dangerous about it?" Sapphire asked wondering what her father had done
"No idea besides something about molecular reconstruction" Naruto said as he did find some computer simulations where they used a gas chamber on things like metals and fruit and they all changed to different sources of matter
"Molecular what?" Sapphire asked not scientifically smart like Naruto
"Apparently this stuff could change something and grant it the ability to change its molecular structure into anything hell, even kryptonite. I think your dad was looking to give this to the army." Naruto said as he saw Stagg had a government meeting in the past and Eling was apart of it
"My dad was planning on making super soldiers?" Sapphire asked as that was the dream of many scientific research divisions with the government
"And probably make a fortune by doing so, I don't know a lot as there was a lot of stuff really encrypted in the file, it could take me some time to figure out everything. But something like this? We are talking about something that could potentially kill Superman if someone with this stuff wanted to." Naruto said, seeing how serious this Metamorpho substance was.
"Jesus" Sapphire said in surprised
"The thing is, this stuff is introduced as a gas. Meaning something has to breathe this stuff in for it to activate. Could you imagine what someone could do with this power?" Naruto said also wondering if they'd survive the process as this process was clearly unstable
"Have you found if there's any of this stuff out there?" Sapphire asked curiously
"No clue reports were sent to Stagg directly via company email and the file I got on a location is too heavily encrypted." Naruto said as he knew this stuff was dangerous
"Meaning the only person who knows is dead." Sapphire said as she wondered what kinda man her father truly was at this point
"Yep" Naruto said as they need to keep looking
"I just hope nobody was exposed to this stuff. What could we even do against someone like that?" Sapphire asked curiously
"All matter has a weakness and if a person even survived it to begin with since the possibility is real low" Naruto said as he was thinking less than 5% "they'd be weak against acids if a solid or breaking apart with vapors" he said with some ideas
"Enough of all this serious talk, let's talk about something else." Sapphire said "How about we talk about how easy the company is going to be with your parents helping me?" she said as she was working real close with Naruto's mom and she was very pleasant to work with
"I know. Considering how you are, must be rough for a girl like you to handle all this" Naruto said with a smirk
"What's that supposed to mean?" She said as Naruto raised his hands, not going to say anything else.
"Nothing nothing at all." Naruto said with a smirk
He then smiles as he looks at her. "It's nice to spend time together with you, we usually don't get that many moments nowadays. Remember when we hit our teens and your dad gave me the protective dad thing? Now listen here young man." Naruto said, imitating Stagg when he gave him that talk before laughing as he couldn't keep going.
"Oh man you haven't changed since we were kids." Sapphire said with a small laugh
"If it ain't broke don't fix it." Naruto said as they messed around having stupid fun
"How's Will, is she alright? After what happened that night I almost thought she was dead." Sapphire said as she and Will weren't as social as she liked but always talked via cell phone
"What?" Naruto asked not understanding what she was talking about
"Apparently her and her mom were working on some generators when the accelerator exploded, some people were talking about how they got electrocuted. Thankfully they shut off the power before some major voltage could happen and something about something they had being rubber. I didn't ask much as I didn't want her and her mom freaking out or anything." Sapphire said not wanting to pry to deep into something like that
'Looks like I'm not the only one keeping secrets.' Naruto thought wondering what was happening with his redheaded girlfriend
"Well I have a meeting in a hour, it was nice seeing you again." Sapphire said, giving him a hug and a kiss before walking away.
Naruto sat down and took out his phone and decided to text Caitlin to see how she was doing as he knew she was still grieving over Ronnie's death 'You died a hero man that's more than most people can say.' he thought as he missed his friend
"Hey Snowflake, what are you doing?" Naruto said as Caitlin called him instead of texting him back
"You know I hated that name." Caitlin said over the phone letting out a small laugh
"No you didn't, now Snowball on the other hand you did." Naruto said as he smiled liking to hear her laugh
"What's up?" She why he texted her
"Little bored and wanted to see what you were up to." Naruto said as he walked out of Stagg industries
"Hey Naruto" Minato Namikaze said as he saw his son
"Hold on, it's my dad. I'll call you back." Naruto said hanging up on Caitlin "How are you doing dad" he asked as they found a bench to sit down on.
"Fine, why what's up? Did something happen?" Minato asked curiously as he often fawned over Naruto after his accident
"No, you know I can take care of myself." Naruto said as he let out a happy sigh as his father worried to much
"Naruto I almost lost you, me and your mother, we tried everything we could do to wake you up but -
"Dad... don't, don't do this to yourself." Naruto said as his father felt guilty not being able to help him when he was in his coma
The father and son embrace each other. "Oh it is good to hold you in my arms again." Minato said with a tear coming down his face
"Wimp." Naruto said as he and his mother often teased him
"One of the smartest wimps on the planet." Minato said with a prideful smirk
"The smartest wimp on the planet… after mom." Naruto said as his parents were equally smart but liked to mess with them telling the other the other parent was smarter
"Hey." Minato said before the two laugh.
Naruto then had to leave and called back Caitlin
Minato just stared at his son leaving till he was no longer visible, glancing around him he walks into a ally he then looks to see if the coast is clear before disappearing in a yellow light then reappearing in his lab "That's getting easier to do" he said as he examined his cells seeing them shine similar to energy "time to run some more tests" he said as he took blood from himself and began testing himself
As he was looking at his DNA using the microscope two arms came around his shoulders.
"Hello honey." Kushina said, kissing his neck "So how's Naruto? Did you tell him-" she asked but Minato cut her off
"That I can manipulate energy and that you've been given enhanced skills and strength? No, Ms. Former Ninja." Minato said as he hated keeping secrets from Naruto
"Hey you love it." Kushina said with a smirk
"Not as much as I love you." Minato said, turning around and began kissing her.
"How goes the training?" Kushina asked as she gave him a list of exercises to do and like their son he went above and beyond
"Well I didn't blow anything up this time, so there's that." Minato said with a smirk as there had been a few instances with his powers
"Did Naruto tell you yet?" Kushina said as Nyssa soon found out about Naruto's activities and told her and she instantly told Minato and they followed news feeds and rumors and reports of the white streak now deemed 'Godspeed' on a certain site
"No and I'm not going to pry, he'll tell us when he's ready." Minato said as he felt a little guilty they found something out like this as it wasn't their business to pry
"I don't know, I'm just worried about him." Kushina said as she was unbelievably proud in her son's choices but that didn't stop the worry
"Kushina you need to quit babying him, he's our son. He's got my brains, well our brains and your brawn. He can take care of himself." Minato said having complete faith in Naruto
"Minato, he's our baby. No matter how old he is, he'll always be that to be that to me." Kushina said as she felt worry for Naruto and despite her years as an assassin hardening herself her husband and son were the chinks in her armor
"Well you could always help him." Minato said as Kushina trained Naruto in many martial arts as he grew up
"Just as you could but remember we decided not. We haven't exactly been honest with him either as we have powers. Well you have powers, everything I got just got boosted." Kushina said as gold chains erupted from the ground "I swear I don't understand how science affected my magic" she said still not understanding that
"I wouldn't worry, magic is just another form of science that has yet to be explained or completely understood" Minato said as he had full faith in science and didn't believe in actual magic
"Anyways, power talk aside, we have a meeting with Sapphire Stagg to be at in 15 minutes. Shall we, dear?" Kushina said with a smile
"We shall, honey." Minato said as they locked arms and Kushina put her head on his shoulder.
(with Caitlin)
"This is insane" Naruto said as he and Barry analyzed the lung tissue and found two sets of dna
"What new equipment you got me?" Barry said as they used the new computer system to analyze it
"It isn't possible to have two sets of DNA unless of transplants with tissue" Naruto said as organ or tissue transplants sometimes threw off DNA scans
"What if this meta-human doesn't control the gas but becomes it?" Caitlin said as that was the only theory that made sense.
"Got it in one beautiful." Naruto said with a smirk
Barry laughed as he saw Caitlin blush slightly wondering why these two didn't stay together
"Hey, uh, what caused Caitlin to leave you?" Barry asked curiously as he was curious to how they broke up
"I wanted to learn more about chemicals and the human body, that knowledge helped give me gain the skills I have now." Caitlin said as she learned the skills that helped her with setting up the particle accelerator.
"But she didn't want to leave me behind. But I told her not to put her life on hold for me. So I let her go and if she wanted to get back together we could but Ronnie came along. I still remember him joking about being a high priced plumber." Naruto said as he was ok with Caitlin moving on from him.
Caitlin and him smile before noticing their hands were touching before separating.
"Geez it is awkward with you two." Barry said with a smirk as it was nice to know he wasn't the only awkward one on the team
"Like with you and Iris? You two never dated, we have." Naruto said as even though he didn't date he still had woman troubles
"Don't start, please" Barry said as Joe did that enough
"Okay" Naruto said quickly dropping it
"What's wrong?" Barry asked as Naruto shifted his eyes.
"Nothing, why would you think something's wrong?" Naruto asked smiling at Barry
"You're doing the nervous shifty eyes thing like you did something." Barry asked curiously
"I may have accidentally let slip that you… had feelings for Iris." Naruto said as he readied himself for Barry's shouting.
"You WHAT?!" Barry asked in anger fueled embarrassment
"I was talking to Will in Jitters and I didn't know she was listening in as she was leaving" Naruto said apologetically.
"Dude!"
"Wow and you use to say I sucked at keeping secrets" Caitlin said holding in a laugh as this was great comedy
Barry got up just as the police radio went off a report of a gas attack at the mall.
"You got lucky. I'll handle this" Barry said running off
"Barry don't, we don't know enough of what we're facing yet. It's not safe." Caitlin said as Barry grabbed the suit from his locker.
"Caitlin, I have to go." Barry said not knowing he caused Caitlin to freeze as her mind went back to the night of the accelerator blowing up
Naruto looked at her in worry as he could see the slight tremble she had and how her hands shook "I'll go after him." he said wondering if that would put her at ease
"No, please. Could you stay with me for a minute or two?" Caitlin asked looking on the verge of tears
Naruto looked her in the eyes before nodding he turned around and the two hugged which seemed to calm her down.
"Okay it's been 8 minutes and no word from Barry, I'm sorry Cait."
Naruto went over to his locker and grabbed his suit. "I promise I'll be back Snowflake." Naruto said before kissing her forehead and speeding off as Caitlin looked at her engagement ring remembering Ronnie.
Naruto sped into the mall, remembering the attack was in the north wing before following Barry's leftover speed train and went through a door to find him on the ground gasp for air as a bald man stood over him.
"Hello here to try and take me as well? I think you have something more important to take care of." the man said before turning into a green mist and going through the exit door.
Naruto rushed over to the gasping Barry before helping him up
They rushed to S.T.A.R Labs as Barry fell between Cisco and Wells. "I can't breath."
"He needs oxygen, get the crash cart!" Harisson said in urgency as Cisco rushed off to get it..
"He has a fresh sample in his lungs, we need to extract it!" Caitlin said as she rushes in
"Barry!" Naruto said as his vitals were plummeting
"Cut me open, the poison's still in me! Barry said gasping for air
"This'll hurt a lot dude." Naruto said as Caitlin brought a rather large needle she would use to pierce his lungs and extract the gas
"It's a small needle, you'll hardly feel it." Cisco said trying to take his mind off it
"You'll definitely feel it." Caitlin said in brutal honesty as she stabbed Barry with the needle who gasps loudly
(hour later)
"You ok" Naruto asked as they all just finished saving Barry and he was in the clear and he was checking in on how Caitlin was doing after her little episode
"I'm fine" Caitlin said trying to assure him
"Really? Because I have these things called eyes that say otherwise Snowflake." Naruto said as he wanted to know if he could help
"I went back to that night" Caitlin said her voice cracking up
Naruto wished he knew what to say but didn't as he was comatosed when this was happening "Caitlin, I'm sorry for your loss. I miss him too, he was like a brother to us all." he said as he walked over and sat beside her.
"You two are so adorable and sweet, I think I'd get some popcorn and watch this soap opera." Barry said waking up
"The Streak lives." Cisco said.
"Hey buddy do you feel as bad as you look?" Naruto asked curiously as Barry looked like he's seen better days
"My chest feels like that one time I had a cigarette." Barry said getting a disapproving look from Caitlin "teen me lived for danger" he said as he made a lot of questionable choices
"This isn't funny you could've -"
"But I didn't" Barry said knowing what she would say
"Dude that's not the point we may be fast but we are not invincible we just have extraordinary abilities but under that we're men" Naruto said as Barry needed a little reality check
"Now that we have a sample, we'll get to work analyzing it, figure out the makeup of the poison and maybe figure out his human identity." Harisson said typing away at the computer with Cisco
"Or at least figure out a way to stop him from turning into a mist...the Mist that's his name" Cisco said with a bright smile
"I gotta get to the station." Barry said getting up
"You should be resting." Wells said
"I'll take him" Naruto said to Caitlin as she liked to exercise caution and restraint
"Is Snowzuki revived?" Cisco said before yelping and ducking as Caitlin threw a pen at him
"You know one of these days she just might kill you" Naruto said with a smile as Cisco hid
"Oh please she's harmless" Cisco said just as another pen hit him in the face
"That harmless enough for ya" Caitlin asked him daring him to retort
"How did you ever date her" Cisco said as he often thought Caitlin was a little too strict, guarded but also quick tempered
"I got mad skills." Naruto said mocking Cisco from the time he said it
"Yeah, you've proven that one too many times." Cisco said commenting about Naruto's shared relationship with women
"Alright, let's go." Naruto said, helping Barry up.
(CCPD)
Joe was in Barry's lab looking over files that involved cases the judge that was killed was a part of
"Joe, we were wrong, he's not controlling airborne toxins. He can literally turn himself into poison gas." Barry said as Naruto and Caitlin were right on the money
"That's new. The victim was a judge. We're looking through some of her old cases, trying to find a connection." Joe said seeing a familiar pattern here as he felt like he made a connection like this before
"It's too late. I should've been faster." Barry said holding the death of the judge as a failure
"Focus on the job, don't think about that right now."
"You don't wanna know what I'm thinking about." Barry
"That's probably for the best we go to dark places when we feel responsible for a person's death" Naruto said as he tried to remain quiet
Barry sighs as he walks over to the desk in front of the window.
"My dad has spent 14 years in a 6x8 cell for a crime he didn't commit. I couldn't save my mom but I can save him." Barry said his mind going to a desperate place
"Didn't I promise you, we were going to get your father out together."
"And Barry your dad as tragic as it is that he's in there you know he wouldn't want that or for you to do something this dumb" Naruto said as this was dumb
"I could be in and out of there with him in a second." Barry said his emotions rising
"Okay, say you do that, break him out, then what? He's on the run for the rest of his life. And something tells me he's not as fast as you." Joe said
"Cause let me tell you all that stuff you see on tv or heard from Joe about criminals on the run is a perfect example of what you'd do to your dad and make matters worse if he's caught" Naruto said as
"You don't know what it's like there." Barry said as he saw
"You think I don't know how you feel? I have been a cop for just about as long as you've been alive. So you should know putting on that suit doesn't mean everyone's safe. For everyone that you save there's going to be someone you can't, and the hardest thing you're gonna have to face isn't some monster out there with powers. It's gonna be that feeling of uselessness if you can't do anything. Or the guilt that weighs on you when you make a mistake, some things Barry you can't fight, some things you're just going to have to live with." Joe said trying to deter Barry from
"Barry, do you want me to walk you home?" Naruto asked as Barry stood there with his arms crossed.
"No thanks, I got it." Barry said as Naruto nodded and left to let him think
"Keep an eye on him I need to go check on something" Joe said to Naruto as he took off
"Time to finish some paperwork" Naruto said as he did paperwork for crime scenes he was doing and finished in 5 seconds and even went over Barry's
Naruto's phone began to vibrate as he took it out of his pocket. He saw the caller ID being Lisa Snart
"Lisa?" Naruto said as he hadn't heard that name in years since highschool "Hello there, Golden Glider." he said as she wanted a nickname from him and she wanted gold a part of it
"You still remember the nickname you gave me. Nice to know" Lisa said with a laugh over the phone
"So what do you want Lisa" Naruto asked as Lisa wasn't the sentimental type to catch up on old times
"The boy I like has been in a coma for nine months and didn't even bother to give me a call when he woke up, and hasn't called me" Lisa said faking sadness over the line
"Can't call a person whose number I never had, you know since you keep changing it" Naruto said as he knew Lisa got into crime when she was in highschool only getting caught a few times and sent to juvie
"Hey baby, since you're with the police now I had to give you a heads up. Lenny's getting ready for one of his heists, just didn't want to see you get hurt later." Lisa said as she hung up
"I swear I never understood that girl" Naruto said as he kept number in his contacts
"Lenny, what are you doing now" Naruto asked as Lenoard Snart was his sometimes ok friend in highschool as he looked after Lisa but he wasn't like any common variety criminal
"Glad to see she still cares for me. I should look her up sometime and catch up." Naruto said as Lisa was his first crush in highschool
"Catch up with what Allen" Singh asked as he walked in "where is Allen anyway" he asked curiously
"Uh, he's going through some issues at the moment." Naruto said as he felt awkward at this moment
"His mom again?" Singh asked as he knew about Barry's search in that case as he often saw the board in the lab, but knew he couldn't stop Allen as it didn't impede his work or performance
Naruto nodded "oh also I would like to run this by you, me and Barry have access to S.T.A.R labs equipment and often get assistance in certain things the lab here might not be able to do. And my parents donated some equipment we can use as well." he said as he knew Singh was getting curious as to how Barry was getting results without going to his lab
"Thank you I'd like to be informed on certain matters" Singh said as he liked Naruto's honesty it was a bit refreshing
"Oh and that reminds me, my parents are looking into things for the officers, reinforced vests and stuff like that." Naruto said as his parents didn't do much for law enforcement as they'd like as they didn't want to make weapons
"Remind me to thank them for that too, as these are my officers we're talking about. Don't need much, nothing like rockets or anything, I just want them to be able to go home at the end of the day." Singh said as he sometimes thought he was to soft hearted for this job
"I'll tell them that, get this my girlfriend suggested something like Robocop." Naruto said as the two laughed as Will probably meant it as a joke.
"That'd be a sight, goodnight Naruto."Singh said as he took off
"Goodnight, captain." Naruto said
Naruto then decided to call it a night and go home after Barry left
Naruto sped home where he stretched before kneeling down to pet Kurama and fetch him his dinner. And he thinks about the things that happened today. Will and her mother may have powers, this Metamorpho stuff is out there where anyone can grab it, this Mist guy is on the loose and now he finds out Snart is on his way or is in the process of getting ready for a heist here in the city. Naruto just sighs as he drops in bed and goes to sleep,
'I'll worry about all that in the morning.' Was his only thought before closing his eyes
(next day)
Naruto went over to S.T.A.R Labs bringing Kurama with him and passed by an entrance to the pipeline and looked in where the treadmill was and saw Caitlin sitting there as Barry arrived, "you mind giving us a moment" he said to the scarlet speedster
Naruto brings Kurama into the room with him as he sits down beside Caitlin. "Look who I brought." he said as Kurama went up to Caitlin and sat in her lap rubbing himself against her stomach
Caitlin smiles as she pets him. "Look about yesterday when Barry-" he was saying
"I got it, he had to go. It's just that those were the last things Ronnie said to me before…" she said looking to the door behind her as this was the last place she was with Ronnie before he died
Barry decided to walk in. "My mother died 14 years ago. I used to think the further I got from it, the less it would hurt but some days, the pain is worse than the day it happened. Somethings you can't fight." Barry said
"For so long, I've been terrified to go into that hole." Caitlin said as she often tried to stay away from this door as it always brought her to tears thinking about Ronnie
"What if we went with you?" Naruto said taking her hand into his as Kurama just looked up at them as Barry walked over and sat on the other side of her "here" he said handing Caitlin a photo
"He really hated that horse" Caitlin said before taking a gulp and standing up
Barry looked at the photo and laughed as it was a photo of Ronnie with bandages around his stomach and looked as Caitlin was laughing at him he even signed it saying 'never trust a horse' Ronnie Raymond
"I'm ready." Caitlin said as they opened the door and walked to the entrance of the accelerator.
She slowly approached it as Kurama walked beside and sat down as she stopped.
"This is always gonna haunt her man I'm telling you now" Barry said as he knew that look in Caitlin as he often saw it on himself after his mom died
"Caitlin's one of the strongest women I know she can get past this that I'm sure." Naruto said with absolute certainty
"He saved so many lives that night, and nobody will ever know what he did." Caitlin said as he died a heroes death and no one would know about it
"We know." Naruto said, walking over to her giving her a hug.
"He was a hero." Barry said as he would remember Ronnie's name wanting to honor the man
"I didn't want him to be a hero, I wanted him to be my husband." Caitlin said before Naruto embraces her as Kurama rubs himself against her leg
"You guys, you down there? You gotta see this." Cisco said calling them over the pa system
Naruto grabbed Caitlin as he and Barry ran to the lab
"That's the chemical structure for hydrogen cyanide used for gas chambers" Naruto said recognizing the molecular structure
"We know but what's interesting is what's mixed in with the cyanide, a sedative." Harisson said showing another scan
"Of course see if there was anyone gassed the night the accelerator blew up that sedative is given to criminal on death row before entering the gas chamber" Barry said as he had cases where certain criminals had to be put down by either gas or electrocution
"Meaning this guy might be on the deceased list" Naruto said as criminals often had their dna taken away from the database when confirmed deaths happened "I swear people fake their deaths all the time why was that a protocol" he asked Barry
"We got a match, Kyle Nimbus." Cisco said pulling up his picture
"He told me he had one more on his list, check the arrest record. Who caught him? That could be his next attack" Barry asked curiously
"Barry it was" Caitlin was trying to say but couldn't say it
Barry looked over the computer and saw it was Joe who caught him "Joe." he said fearing for his adoptive father's life
"Barry, I reverse-engineered an antidote to the toxin, I hope you or Naruto won't need it." Caitlin said bringing out an injector
"Don't worry, I thought ahead, check it." Naruto said, wearing his suit making a small gas mask cover his mouth portion. "You made a mouthguard, you got that from Optimus Prime didn't you?" Cisco said as him and Naruto watched a lot of movies
"If you're gonna take something from a movie, better be a good thing. Besides I just whipped this up, so it's a prototype " Naruto said hoping his masked worked as he only assumed it could prevent small amounts of Nimbus's gas
"Dude check out what it does to your voice." Cisco said as it changed Naruto's voice tone slightly
"Guys, Joe!" Barry said in urgency
"Oh right, sorry!" Naruto said as they ran to iron heights
They found Joe down on the ground twitch and gasping for breath
"Shit" Naruto said as he injected Joe, stopped twitching and getting his breathing back under control.
Afterwards they looked up to see Barry's father on the other side of the glass looking at them
Barry then made his face begin to vibrate before looking back at Joe.
"Go get him." Joe said as the two smirked before speeding off stopping in front of Nimbus who was on the street.
"So, you two come to finish what the gas chamber couldn't?" Nimbus asked feeling a little bloodthirsty
"You're going somewhere you can't hurt anyone ever again." Barry said with a smirk
"Wrong." Nimbus before turning into a mist and grew covering the street and going into the air as they looked up.
"Stay away from him, you two. Do not breath him in." Caitlin said over the com
"Not sure how that helps right now, Snowflake." Naruto said before the two dodged Nimbus flying at them.
"Just… keep him coming at you, that should sap his strength." Caitlin said
"Gas is the least stable form of matter, his particles will need to reform after some time." Harisson said over the coms.
Naruto looked at his hands before getting an idea. Naruto began to go around and around in circles.
"What are you doing?" Barry asked as Nimbus began to get sucked in
"This!" Naruto said as he was creating so much lightning as he was circling around Nimbus who was trying to get out
As soon as Nimbus touched some of the lightning that followed Naruto ignited Nimbus gas making the mist begin to take human form as Nimbus tried rolling as he was burned very harshly in some places.
Naruto winced as he saw him. "That didn't go as I thought it would"
(later at S.T.A.R labs)
"It seems Naruto's lightning actually ignited Mr Nimbus's gas" Harisson said as he thought over what he was told
"Will he be okay? Anything permanent as being set on fire must hurt like hell." Naruto asked feeling a little guilty
"The burns will heal in time no need for skin grafts" Harisson said ensuring Naruto
"I can't believe your lightning can actually do stuff maybe you have electrical powers" Cisco said excitedly
"I've been actually trying to see if I can throw it." Naruto said as the energy came from him meaning he should be able to interact with it
"Like Zeus?" Barry asked curiously
"That would be so cool." Cisco said, already imagining it.
"Imagine if I could do stuff like that. Oh, lightning whips." Naruto said making a whip sound
"Thinking about getting kinky with Caitlin" Cisco said with a chuckle
Naruto poked Cisco with an electrified finger. "Ow!" Cisco yelled out
"I at least figured out how to do that." Naruto said as he figured the lightning was channeling through their body whenever they used their powers somewhat connected to their nervous system
"Well, now that's done, I've got a hankering for some ice cream, who's in?" Caitlin asked as Naruto grinned happily.
"Pass, I'm going to see Joe." Barry said speeding off to the hospital Joe's at.
"Going to - okay quitting!" Cisco said ready to shoot off another tease about Naruto and Caitlin but Naruto held up an electrified hand.
"But wait up, you ain't going for ice cream without me." Cisco said, grabbing his coat.
"Be glad I don't tell her what you said earlier she'd actually kill you this time" Naruto said with a smirk
"I see that now." Cisco said as he was sure Naruto was right.
"Come on. Dr. Wells you in?" Naruto asked curiously
"I appreciate the offer but no thank you," Harisson said with a smile as he waved them goodbye and when they left he ran to the time vault "Gideon Godspeed." he asked as Godspeed's future may have been changing constantly but he tried to use much closer to the present articles
"Good news Dr. Wells, it appears that at the rate Naruto is going, your future is certain as a result" Gideon said as Harisson looked pleased
"That is fantastic" Harisson said in pure joy
"Though one more article has been made, I do not know if it is a good future or not."
Gideon showed a article showing Godspeed replacing the Flash after his disappearance
"Oh that's not good" Harisson said as his whole reason for being who he was, meant he needed the Flash and without him he'd fade or be converted to meet the new future
"In this it appears Godspeed replaces the Flash after he disappears and begins to brandish out his own brand of justice. I have to say Dr. Wells, that the future still remains uncertain." Gideon said to Harisson
"Tell me about recent events involving Godspeed" Harisson asked needing to know about anything in the coming days
"It would appear in this version of the future Naruto loses it after losing some of his loved ones. This future… it scares me, Dr. Wells." Gideon said as she rarely felt many emotion but she felt something when she saw this
"As it does me, Gideon. Naruto usually has more control over his emotions, to begin killing blindly like that? Is a scary thought." Harisson said as he knew he couldn't kill Naruto if he made his future set in stone
"Dr. Wells this is not a future you should call home." Gideon said in worry
"Don't worry Gideon, it'll be alright in the end." Harisson said as he could change the path of the future at this end and then pulled up possible soon to be articles
Meanwhile with Naruto, Caitlin and Cisco
Cisco was groaning as he experienced brain freeze. "How is it I'm the only one to get these" he asked Naruto and Caitlin all ate large ice cream quickly
Caitlin smiled before looking at Naruto who put some ice cream on her nose. "Oh we're doing that now?" Caitlin said
"Ice cream on snow" Naruto said with a smirk
"Whatever Fishcake." Caitlin said making Cisco smirk
"And Cisco to answer your question I'm hot and she's ice cold" Naruto said with a smirk
"Really?" Caitlin said as she smirked. "Hot and cold, want me to walk you home?" Naruto asked her.
Cisco goes to open his mouth. "I swear if that's another Snowzuki joke." Caitlin said ready to just slap him
Cisco just kept his mouth shut. "See ya." Cisco said.
Naruto and Caitlin waved him off as Naruto sped Caitlin to her home.
"Hey, thanks. For everything, ever since Ronnie died, I… I've felt alone for so long." Caitlin said looking up at Naruto,
"Caitlin if you ever need me I'm there, you know that right?" Naruto asked with a smile
The two stared at each other before Caitlin leaned up and kissed him on the lips.
Caitlin smiled as she walked inside as Naruto waved to her.
As Caitlin closed the door she just stopped and looked down at her engagement ring. Having conflicted thoughts between her love for Ronnie and the feelings that are rising again between her and Naruto.
Naruto walked down the street and touched his lips and smiled remembering his time with Caitlin when they dated then quickly sped off. As Caitlin watched him from her window.
(Meanwhile on the rooftops)
We see Sapphire Stagg in her house getting ready for bed as a silhouette of a large… thing watches. It takes one last look before turning into a gas and flying away.
Behind a corner we see Nyssa walk out and pull out her phone and make a call. "You were right, something is watching her." she said over the phone as Kushina called her when she noticed some strange occurrences with Sapphire when she visited her and had meetings
"Is she okay?" Kushina asked in worry
"For now yes, but whatever this thing is, it seems to know where she lives. I don't know what that thing is but I am beginning to worry for Ms. Stagg." Nyssa said as whenever she saw this...thing she was worried
"Keep an eye on her, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen soon."
"I might not be able to do much I can feel my father's hand might come into play soon" Nyssa said as she could sometimes feel when her father was gonna make a move
"Don't worry, if you can't stop that thing, I know some others that can." Kushina said looking at her phone and the names Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Kara and Alex Danvers were shown. "Time to call in some favors." she said with a smile as some of these would be unpleasant and annoying for the people who couldn't handle her as she pressed Bruce's number and a woman answered
"Hello?" the woman said on the other line.
"Hey Kate? It's Kushina, is Bruce there?" Kushina asked with a smirk
