Welcome back everybody on a new chapter of Watching: The Crimson Speedster
The story starts with the viewers taking a small break from watching Naruto's life, as they begin to look around the watchtower. Then we got to see AF-Iris get a harsh reality check from none other than CS-Iris who basically says to her stop acting like a total bitch to Barry.
Finally, we get to see the viewers get sucked into the screen where they get a closer viewing of Naruto's life.
With that being said, enjoy the chapter
(I don't own any of the characters, as some of them belong to choejhulkp9.)
Beginnings Part 2
Watchtower 2040, Viewing room
Everyone showed up back in the viewing room as the screen started to play which made everyone quiet down.
While this was happening, Iris looked at Barry as she needed to talk to him about her behavior recently towards him after he got out of the speed force but that would be later as they were now going to watch the next viewing of Naruto's life.
Naruto sees this and he can't help but smile at how Iris is finally growing out of her obsessive phase.

Back with Naruto he zoomed back to his room at the shelter and sat on the bed and tossed a burger wrapper in the trash…a little late-night snack before bed. "Man, I can't believe that guy would still try to kill himself, even after I saved him," Naruto said as he laid down and Kurama jumped on the bed and laid next to him.
"I'll tell you one thing, Kurama. This hero business isn't that easy." Naruto said as he looked at the ceiling. "I guess not everyone wants to be saved by a hero," Naruto said as he went to bed.
(Off-Screen)
Several of the viewers kind of found it funny but also saddened at how Naruto was using his powers but could understand how he felt heartfelt on not saving Danton. But they had to remember that this was Naruto's first time as a Speedster so this is probably going to happen quite often in Naruto's Journey.
Barry can understand how Naruto felt as he tried to save Danton from killing himself but like no one says no one likes to be saved by the hero.
The scene changes to Harrison Wells, which makes everyone quiet down to see what will happen.
(Earth-1, On-Screen)
Back with Dr. Wells, after everyone had left, he strolled to one of the walls in the hallway, pressed a switch on his chair and opened a secret door. He strolled into the white room and then stood up and took off his glasses. He then walked to a console and activated it as a holographic screen came up showing a newspaper front page from 10 years in the future. The headline was Flash vanishes after Crisis and Impulse hospitalized? and showed a picture of the Flash and Impulse as Dr. Wells smiled.
"Everything is going according to plan." Dr. Wells said.
(Off-Screen)
The group from Earth-1 glared at Thawne who was smiling at what he had just seen, "Figured that version of you planted cameras because you want everything to happen in your way." Barry harshly says, with the other's agreeing with him. Even on another Earth Thawne was just the same person who does the same thing in messing with people's lives
What's Thawne's response? He acts like a total dick, "That's just how I am Barry so deal with it."

After the end of Multiplex, things went back to somewhat normal. Barry and his team were together and ready to help save the city as well as track down this new streak that had been helping Barry, which was the major priority at the moment. Dr. Wells, Cisco and Caitlin tried to track down the person who was struck by a second bolt of lightning but it was difficult to identify the person who was exposed. If this person was like Barry and there weren't any reports until recently then he was probably in a coma.
Unfortunately, Central City General Hospital had only one coma patient and that was Barry. The group was at STAR labs running through some leads as Dr. Wells explained some leads there were following.
"So, we figured that another person was struck by the lightning infused by the particle accelerator but what has been difficult is identifying the person struck. Central City general only admitted one coma patient." Dr. Wells said.
"Me," Barry said.
"Exactly. You were the only person struck and admitted to the hospital so we didn't know if another person was hit." Caitlin said.
"So now we're trying to find other leads. We've sent out requests to local hospitals near the spot where the lightning hit asking about any coma patients that were admitted about 9 months ago." Cisco said as the computer beeped with a message.
"And it looks like we did. One of the local hospitals outside of Central City did receive a coma patient the day of the explosion." Dr. Wells said.
"Who?" Caitlin asked.
"Unfortunately they can't disclose that information without a police warrant or a detective badge." Dr. Wells said.
"I've got that covered," Barry said as he super sped out of there and to the police precinct to talk to Joe.
"So, why do you need my help?" Joe asked Barry.
"To get some patient files from a local hospital outside the city," Barry said.
"Why do you need some patient files?" Joe asked.
"Joe…someone else was struck by lightning the same night I was," Barry said as Joe's was shocked.
"You mean there is someone else out there like you," Joe said.
"Yeah, but he was treated at a different hospital which is why Dr. Wells didn't find him," Barry said.
"That would explain something. When Black shot up Stag Industries and you whooshed me out, something else whooshed in. I'm guessing that's the other person you're talking about." Joe said.
"This guy seems like he wants to help but we need to find out who he is," Barry said.
"All right, let me get my keys," Joe said.
"Don't need them," Barry said as he super-sped Joe to the hospital.
"Whoa," Joe said as Barry chuckled.
(Off-Screen)
Joe looks at his stepson, "That was a little uncalled for Barry what if I puked or something?" Joe scolds him on this after what he just saw.
One John Diggle had to agree with him on that, as every time Barry speeds him away he always pukes.
Rubbing the back of his head, "To be fair Joe that's not even me, even though he looks just like me." Was Barry's response which held no backing whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Thawne watched the scene with interest as his counterpart seemed interested in Naruto which got him curious about what the relationship is between them.
(On-Screen, Line Break xxxxx)
"Cool huh?" Barry asked.
"Yeah, but I think I'll stick to driving," Joe said as they walked into the hospital and to the front desk.
"Hi, can I help you?" The nurse asked.
"Yes, my name is Detective Joe West with the Central City Police Department. I'm here to get some information on a patient you admitted 9 months ago." Joe said.
"What patient would that be?" The nurse said as she brought up the files on the computer.
"He was a coma patient who got struck by lightning 9 months ago," Barry said.
"Ah, Naruto, oh he was a sweet boy. One second, I'll get the file. Can I ask what this is about? He's not in trouble is he?" The Nurse asked.
"No, just like to ask him some questions," Joe said as the nurse got the file.
"Here you go." The nurse said.
"Thank you," Joe said as he and Barry left.
"So our other road runner is Naruto Namikaze," Joe said.
"What, Namikaze?" Barry asked.
"Yeah, that's what it says," Joe said.
"Because there was a scientist at Star Labs by the name of Minato Namikaze. I read he worked with Doctor Wells on the Particle Accelerator project." Barry said.
"Maybe Dr. Wells can fill you in. I'll track down his known address and see if I can get in touch with his parents." Joe said as Barry nodded and super sped away. "Could have at least got me back to the precinct," Joe said as he called a cab.
Dr Wells, Cisco and Caitlin were working on other leads and tracking down odd leads for possible Meta-human sightings when Barry whooshed in.
"I got the hospital records. Our coma patient is Naruto Namikaze." Barry said as Dr. Wells, Caitlin and Cisco were shocked. "Why do you all look so shocked?"
"Because I know him." Dr. Wells said.
"You do?" Barry asked.
"Naruto Namikaze is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Both were scientists who have worked with me over the years and worked on the Particle Accelerator. Naruto is their son and was a very promising scientist to be until his parents were killed in a car crash 2 years ago. He took their death very hard, he quit school and sort of went off the grid. He came to see me a few days ago, asking if the Particle Accelerator explosion may have had some side effects…I see now he was talking about what happened to him." Dr. Wells said.
(Off-Screen)
"Well, this seems interesting," Thawne commented, even more interested in what his relationship is with Naruto.
Homelander is trying his best to glare at Naruto. But that wasn't happening due to Billy pressing the button on the trigger, which Electrocuted him "Ah!" Homelander screams in pain.
"Is there something wrong?" Naruto asked him with a smile on his face.
Growling at this, "No nothing at all." Homelander tells him, but deep down, he wants to rip him in half.
"It seems Naruto is very well known to the people at that hospital," Caitlin commented on how the nurses Felt happy to talk about Naruto.
Some of the viewers agreed with her as they saw it as well.

The CCPD arrived at a restaurant and were greeted with an empty restaurant and 9 dead bodies, all of them were high-ranking members of the Darbinian crime family. Barry concluded his primary autopsy as Joe walked up to him.
"Barry, anything?" Joe asked.
"Signs of histotoxic hypoxia. The cells in their bodies weren't able to utilize oxygen, it's consistent with exposure to poison gas." Barry said.
"Why kind of poison?" Joe asked.
"I'll need to take a lung sample, see if I can narrow it down," Barry said as Joe nodded and Thawne walked up to Joe.
"The only other exit was bolted from the inside, they were trapped. I was thinking someone pumped gas in from the outside but witnesses say the street was empty." Thawne said.
"So it was from the inside. Then there should be a canister or container left behind. The gas just didn't come in by itself." Joe said.
"Unless it had a mind of it's own," Barry said as Thawne looked at him like he was crazy but then chuckled as it was another wild theory of his.
"Eddie, would you mind canvassing again, someone had to have seen something," Joe said as Eddie nodded and he left and he then turned to Barry. "Ok, explain."
(Off-Screen)
"Nimbus" Barry Caitlin and Cisco said as they were familiar with this metahuman, which meant that this was taking place the first year Barry started as flesh. Now they were wondering how Naruto would play a this, and how he could help Barry defeat the mist.
For Barry, though this was one of his hardest challenges in his first year as a flash. as he felt that he was going to die when fighting the mist.
Iris was saddened to see Eddie on screen, The both of them had wonderful moments and she would cherish them for the rest of her life.

In the other part of town, Dr. Wells, Cisco and Caitlin were able to find the current address of Naruto…the Central City shelter. They all got out of the car and looked at where they were.
"Man, he lives here," Cisco said.
(Off-Screen)
Upon hearing this, Caitlin slapped the back of Cisco's head.
"Ow! What was that for!" Cisco asked his friend.
But Caitlin just glares at him, "That was uncalled for and you know it Cisco." She scolds him at his behaviour on screen.
(On-Screen, Line Break xxxxx)
"I guess when your parents are gone, and you quit school…you don't have many options left," Caitlin said.
"Come on, let's find him." Dr Wells said as they entered the shelter to see a Blonde woman with a large bust talking with another woman with black hair and carrying a baby pig.
"Hello, can we help you?" The Blonde woman asked.
"Yes, my name is Dr. Harrison Wells. This is Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow, we're from STAR Labs and we're here to see a resident of yours." Dr. Wells said.
"And who would that be?" The other woman asked.
"Naruto Namikaze." Dr. Wells said.
"Ah, you must be the Dr. Wells who worked with Naruto's parents." The Blonde woman said.
"I am." Dr. Wells said.
"My name is Tsunade Senju and this is my home. This is my assistant Shizune." Tsunade said.
"It's nice to meet you," Shizune said.
"So what do you want with Naruto?" Tsunade asked.
"Just to talk to him." Dr. Wells said. "I'm surprised that you know who I am."
"Naruto told me about you," Tsunade said.
"He did?" Dr. Wells asked.
"Not at first, but after some time here and when he finally got comfortable…he talked about his past and his parents. How they worked at STAR labs and how they worked with you on this Particle Accelerator Project." Tsunade said.
"Minato and Kushina were very good people. I owe them a lot…and I'm sorry to say that I couldn't be there for Naruto when he needed me. But I hope to make up for that." Dr. Wells said.
"Well, let's go see if he's in his room," Tsunade said as Tsunade showed them through the shelter to Naruto's room.
"So, Naruto lives here?" Caitlin asked.
"He does. He came looking for a job so I hired him to help tidy around the place and in exchange he gets a pay and a room here as well." Tsunade said.
"He also helps the kids with their homework. He's a very brilliant young boy." Shizune said.
"That he is." Dr. Wells said as Tsunade knocked on the door to Naruto's room.
"Naruto? You have guests." Tsunade said as there was no answer. Tsunade knocked again but still no answer so Tsunade opened the door and they saw Naruto was not in his room but Kurama was.
"Oh, who's the cutie?" Caitlin asked as Kurama walked over to Caitlin and pet himself against her as she pet his head.
"That would be Kurama. He was Naruto's family pet, we've met on more than one occasion." Dr. Wells said as Kurama walked over to Dr. Wells and petted the fox's head.
(Off-Screen)
"Okay there is no way that those are real," Cisco commented once he saw how large those boobs were.
Homelander on the other hand had a huge grin on his face as he thought of many ways on how he could suck those titties himself.
In response to this, he was punched in the face by Naruto himself who glares at him "If you go anywhere near her I will rip your fucking head off!" Naruto warns him as he speeds back to his seat.
(On-Screen)
"I guess Naruto isn't here," Cisco said as they looked around and saw Naruto's room. It was basic, he had a bed, a dresser and a desk. Some old photos and snack packages around...a lot of snack packages and then they saw some old files and worksheets. Dr. Wells went up to the files and saw they were Minato's old worksheets.
"Huh, looks like Naruto tried to use his father's research to make sense of what was going on." Dr. Wells said.
"What is going on? Why do you people need Naruto?" Tsunade asked, protective of Naruto.
"We would just like to talk to him about his accident that occurred over 9 months ago, that's it. If you see him, tell him to come to STAR Labs, we'd like to talk." Dr. Wells said as they left.

After Dr. Wells, Caitlin and Cisco struck out at the Shelter, they returned to STAR Labs where Joe and Barry were waiting for them with another meta-human case: a possible meta-human would can control poison gas.
"Fascinating a meta-human that can manipulate poison gas." Dr. Wells said as he got to work on his computer.
"Is it just poisonous gas or can he control all aerated substances?" Cisco pointed out.
"And how is he able to formulate the connection? Is it physiological or psychological?" Caitlin added.
"This individual can create a mental nexus using gaseous substances." Dr. Wells said.
"You mean connect with gases on a molecular level, that is ridiculously cool." Cisco said.
"They get really excited about this stuff." Barry told Joe.
"The only thing I'm concerned about is putting this criminal behind bars. Except Iron Heights isn't exactly equipped to handle meta-humans." Joe said.
"Then I guess it's fortunate that the ones we've encountered are no longer with us." Dr. Well said.
"Well, unless we plan on executing every super criminal we stop, you geniuses are going to have to find someplace else to hold them." Joe said.
"A meta-human prison? Cool." Cisco said.
Dr. Wells then saw the computer beep and activated the monitor and they saw Naruto Namikaze riding the elevator.
"Well, it seems he got our message." Dr. Wells said.
"That's him?" Barry asked.
"That's him." Dr. Wells said.
"Who him?" Joe asked.
"That is Naruto Namikaze, our second Speedster." Dr. Wells said.
"Stay here for a moment. I'll get him." Dr. Wells said as he strolled out of the main lab and to the entrance.
Naruto exited the elevator and walked out to see Dr. Wells waiting for him. "I see you got my message." Dr. Wells said.
"Yeah, as soon as I got back to the shelter they told me and I made my way over here. You said you had answers for me?" Naruto asked.
"I believe so. Follow me." Dr. Wells said as he went down the hall and Naruto followed.
"So I was right, something did happen the night of the Particle Acceleration explosion," Naruto said.
"Something did. The night of the explosion, a dimensional barrier opened unleashing unknown elements into our world. Anti-matter, dark energy, type-zero elements. Basically, when the accelerator exploded, the world's definition of normal changed." Dr. Wells said.
"Dr. Wells…do you know of any people who were affected by the blast?" Naruto asked.
(Off-Screen)
Everything seemed pretty normal as they got to see their counterparts talk to each other but some of them were curious about Naruto's father's research as it seemed beyond anything that they could comprehend but they felt that later down the line this would come in handy to help them take down metahumans.
(On-Screen)
"Yes, we do." Dr. Wells said.
"We?" Naruto asked as they walked into the main room of STAR Labs and Naruto saw all the computers and lab equipment and a red suit in the center that Naruto saw. He also saw four other people in the room as well.
"Naruto Namikaze, I'd like to introduce you to Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, Barry Allen, and Detective Joe West. Everyone meet Naruto Namikaze." Dr. Wells said as they smiled and Naruto seemed a bit confused.
"Uh, hi," Naruto said.
"Don't worry, Naruto. You're among friends." Dr. Wells said.
"So, aside from being in one of the most advanced labs in the country, why am I here?" Naruto asked.
"Well, we figured if you were going to continue using your powers to try and help the city. Then you should at least do it with someone who may have some more experience than you." Dr. Wells said.
"Yup," Barry said as he super sped behind Naruto and Naruto quickly turned around. "I hear you're pretty fast."
"No way. You're the…the Streak." Naruto said.
"Yup. And I hear that you've been making a name for yourself as well." Barry said as Naruto smirked and then super sped behind Barry as Barry turned around.
"Trying to," Naruto said as everyone laughed.
"This is so cool." Cisco said.
"So do you guys have powers as well?" Naruto asked.
"No, we are just here to help Barry stop other dangerous meta-humans out there." Dr. Wells said.
"Meta-humans?" Naruto asked.
"People like Multiplex you fought a few days ago," Cisco said.
"Uh…" Naruto said confused.
"The guy who could create copies of himself. The one who shot up Stag industries that you and Barry helped stop." Detective Joe West said.
"Oh. So the CCPD knows about the explosion and meta-humans?" Naruto asked.
"No, the CCPD and the rest of the city don't know what happened for that matter. Just tall tales and rumours at this point, and we'd like to keep it that way. But these meta-humans are a serious threat and the police can't handle them." Joe said.
"So you guys are like some superhero crime-fighting team…cool!" Naruto said.
"Basically. We help Barry keep this city safe and help him develop and control his powers. We'd also like to help you as well, Naruto." Dr. Wells said.
"Really…be a part of a secret crime-fighting group to bust super-powered villains…I'm in." Naruto said as they chuckled.
"Sweet, I get my own sidekick." Barry chuckled as he put his arm on Naruto's shoulder as Naruto removed his arm.
"Whoa, I'm not your sidekick," Naruto said as everyone chuckled and Naruto looked at the computer screens and saw copies of police files. "So guys have another meta-human to find?"
"Yeah, a new strange one. We think this guy can control poison gas." Caitlin said.
"Only poison gas or can he control other gaseous substances? And does he control the gas by physical or mental means?" Naruto asked as he walked over to the computers and he and Caitlin, Cisco and Dr. Wells began to talk about the details as Joe looked at Barry.
"Looks like he's settling right in." Joe said as Barry chuckled.
(Off-Screen)
Barry was enjoying seeing someone who was just like him but he could see how this partnership could help him out in the long run but he had this strange feeling that he was not going to see Naruto as a partner more like a sidekick.
He also found it funny on what Joe said to him or this version of him.
(On-Screen)
"A question. How do you plan on stopping this guy? I mean if this guy can control gas, a normal prison can't keep this guy locked up." Naruto said.
"Well, we'll have to come up with a prison to hold them." Dr. Wells said.
"Cool, a meta-human prison," Naruto said.
"At least until we can figure out how to remove their powers." Dr. Wells said.
"There is one place here that might hold them," Cisco said as Caitlin and Dr. Wells realized what he meant.
"You can't be serious. I mean we haven't been down there since…It's closed off." Caitlin said as she began to get emotional.
"Cisco is right. It could be modified to act as a makeshift prison." Dr. Wells said.
"What could?" Barry asked.
"The Particle Accelerator." Dr. Wells said as Caitlin remembered that night, 9 months ago.
(Off-Screen)
"Whoa, what the heck is happening?" A confused Cisco asked as the scene changes
"You're all about to see a flashback of what happened the day of the particle accelerator" Naruto explains to them.
(On-Screen)
Line Break xxxxx (Flashback)
9 Months ago in Central City, everyone was buzzing with the news that the STAR Labs particle accelerator would be turned on as Dr Wells was giving a speech to the people who came to watch it at the labs. After his speech, Dr. Wells returned to the main lab where Cisco, Caitlin and a bunch of the other scientists were busy triple-checking everything to make sure it would run fine.
Dr. Wells walked in as Cisco walked up to him. "Dr. Wells, we just got the latest weather report. A big thunderstorm is rolling in." Cisco said.
"Well, we're not launching a space shuttle. We'll be fine." Dr. Wells said as Cisco went over to the computer and Caitlin was talking to her fiancé Ronnie Raymond, one of the lead engineers who helped build the Particle Accelerator.
"Tahiti?" Ronnie asked.
"I know it's a long flight, Ronnie. But we can binge-watch Orange is the new black on the air plane." Caitlin said.
"Ok, but what about Italy? Pizza and wine, and more pizza." Ronnie said.
"Yes, but Italy doesn't have Mai Tais. And a honeymoon isn't a honeymoon without Mai Tais." Caitlin said.
"Dr. Wells. The Accelerator is primed and ready for particle injection." Cisco said as Dr. Wells smiled and the other scientists gathered around to watch.
"Well, I feel I should say something profound, like one small step for man. All I can say is that I feel like I've been waiting for this day for my entire life. And I couldn't have made it this far without two dear friends and colleagues who are no longer with us. Minato…Kushina…this is for you." Dr. Wells said as he held his hand against the computer as it scanned his fingerprints, recognized that it was him and activated the Accelerator when everyone heard a little whir sound start.
"That's it? You'd think there would be like, a loud bang." Cisco said.
"If there was a loud bang we'd all be in trouble," Ronnie said.
"Take it from the guy who helped build it," Caitlin said.
"Ladies and gentlemen,…we did it." Dr Wells said as everyone clapped as Ronnie kissed Caitlin and smiled.
Dr. Wells then opened a bottle of champagne and everyone cheered but then they heard a weird sound as some of the champagne actually floated out of the bottle and floated in the air for a few seconds…like it was in a zero gravity environment. It then fell to the ground as an alarm went off and a loud bang came from the Accelerator.
"Was that…" "The Loud Bang," Ronnie said.
Line Break xxxxx End of Flashback
(Off-Screen)
Everyone there was impressed at the particle accelerator but they felt a little sympathy for Caitlin seeing that this was going to be the last time or supposedly the last time that she would see her fiance they didn't know that yet all they had to do was just watch and see for themselves.
(On-Screen)
"Caitlin…CAITLIN. Did you hear me? I'm going down to the Accelerator ring." Dr. Wells said as Barry saw how hurt Caitlin was getting at this news.
"Actually, Dr. Wells. I could use Caitlin's help identifying the poison gas." Barry said as Dr. Wells understood.
"Ok." Dr. Wells said.
"If that's ok with you?" Barry asked.
"Let's go," Caitlin said as she got up and Dr. Wells went over to Naruto.
"Naruto, Cisco and I have to do something really quickly. Just wait here, and I'll be back." Dr. Wells said.
"Sure," Naruto said as he stuck around.
Naruto looked around at the lab as everyone left. He looked at Barry's suit that was on display, analyzing the material and wondering what it was made of. He also looked at the rest of the lab equipment, the computer monitors hooked up to the STAR labs satellite and the medical equipment in one of the rooms. He then made his way to another room and saw a giant treadmill with an observation room. Naruto made his way over to the treadmill and saw the wires connected to the observation room and then saw a whole wall of boxes against the far wall.
"Hmm, a large treadmill. Eh, why not." Naruto said as he took off his jacket and put on his goggles and stood on the treadmill. He didn't see an on button so he decided to start running…very slowly to begin with as the treadmill seemed to start up so he kept running.
As he was running, Dr. Wells and Cisco walked into the lab and saw Naruto was gone but heard the treadmill running so they walked into the observation room and saw Naruto running on the treadmill as Dr. Wells turned on the monitors to see how Naruto was doing.
"Hmm, blood pressure and respiratory functions are the same as Barry's," Cisco said as he saw monitors.
"Yes, and his speed is about the same as Barry's as well." Dr. Wells said as he activated the speaker. "Naruto!" Dr. Wells shouted as Naruto was shocked and slipped, and ended up crashing off the treadmill as Cisco and Dr. Wells saw him.
"Oh, that's got to hurt," Cisco said as he and Dr. Wells left the observation room to help Naruto.
(Off-Screen)
"Hahaha, I guess history repeats itself doesn't it Barry?" Cisco jokingly asked his friend.
Barry just glares at him not saying a word about how he started as the flesh in his first year.
(On-Screen)
They helped him onto his feet and took him back to the labs as Naruto sat down and held his wrist.
"Ow, my wrist," Naruto said as Cisco and Dr. Wells looked him over.
"Looks like a sprain. Don't worry, if you have Barry's powers, you'll heal fast as well." Cisco said.
"Cool," Naruto said as his stomach growled and Dr. Wells chuckled and handed him an energy bar.
"Along with your new speed, your metabolism shot up as well." Dr. Wells said.
"Yeah, I kind of figured that," Naruto said.
"Here, we made these for Barry. High-calorie energy bars to keep your metabolism up." Cisco said as Naruto ate the energy bar and felt better.
"Wow, that works," Naruto said as they chuckled and then Naruto looked at his shoes and they were worn out.
"I guess normal shoes aren't really going to work with my speed," Naruto said as Cisco walked over to another room and came back with some red boots.
"Here, use these. They're frictionless boots so they should be fine with your running at high speeds." Cisco said as Naruto thanked him.
"Do you guys have spare goggles?" Naruto asked as his goggles were a bit wrecked when he fell on the treadmill.
"I'll see what I can do," Cisco said.
"Thanks," Naruto said as Cisco took them and went over to the computers as Dr. Wells spoke to Naruto.
"I'm glad to see you got a handle on your powers." Dr. Wells said.
"Well, I'm just glad the high metabolism is the only thing I've got to worry about." Naruto joked as Dr. Wells chuckled.
"I'm just glad you developed powers instead of staying in a coma." Dr. Wells said.
"So…Dr. Wells are you all right with all of this?" Naruto asked.
"What do you mean?" Dr. Well"I mean all of these meta-humans and capturing bad guys. You and my parents were scientists, through and through…science was your life. This..." Naruto said as he pointed to STAR Labs. "was what you and my parents worked for. How do you come back…when everyone you worked with…everything you held dear is gone?" Naruto asked as Dr. Wells thought for a moment and then looked at Naruto.
"By reminding myself that doing nothing or walking away is no answer to my problem. I caused all of this to happen…I ruined many lives that night, because of my hubris and my ego and I caused so much pain to so many lives, including my own." Dr. Wells said as Naruto looked at the wheelchair. "I hurt so many lives that night, but now I can try and make amends for what I did. I'm not sure how much I can help the people of this city, but one thing for sure is that I can help Barry…and help you."
(Off-Screen)
While that felt touching to some of the viewers, Thawne couldn't help but wonder why this version of him cared so much about Naruto and what their connection was on this Earth.
For now, he'll just watch the viewings and then he'll see what is going on with his counterpart.
(On-Screen)
"I just wish my parents were here," Naruto said.
"I know you miss them. But they would want you to move on with your life…and if they could see you now. They would want you to trust your heart and head and do what you believe was right." Dr. Wells said as Naruto nodded and then Cisco called to them.
"Hey, Naruto. I was looking over your goggles and I found something hidden in the strap." Cisco said as he walked over and showed Naruto and small key.
"A key?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, it was tucked behind one of the straps. It was hidden pretty well, inserted in the middle of the strap so you wouldn't notice it if you put the goggles on." Cisco said.
"Why would my dad put a key in this?" Naruto asked.
"Because he wanted you to find it." Dr. Wells said. "Your father must have left you that key in case something happened to him."
"But what does this key unlock?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not sure." Dr. Wells said as he looked at the key and then the computer speaker went off.
"Cisco, do you read me?!" Barry said over the speaker as Cisco went to the computer.
"Yeah, Barry I read you," Cisco said.
"There was another mysterious gas attack at the Central City Mall," Barry said as Cisco brought up blueprints of the mall and brought up the mall security radio system.
"I patched into the mall's security system. According to eyewitnesses the gas attack occurred in the main elevator at the north wing." Cisco said.
"Which one is the north wing?" Barry asked.
"The one with the Big Belly Burger." Dr. Wells said as Cisco and Naruto looked at him weirdly. "I eat."
Barry super sped through the mall, going so fast that he appeared as a blur to the civilians. He saw the dead woman and kicked himself for not getting there sooner. He then looked around and saw green smoke go through a door that led to the maintenance entrance and Barry ran after it.
He entered the maintenance hallway to see the green smoke solidify into an actual person. "Why did you kill that woman?!" Barry yelled as the man turned around.
"She deserved to die. Now go run away. I still have one more name on my list, don't make me add you to it." The man said as Barry super sped forward and punched him in the face but he turned to smoke and then re-solidify. He then punched Barry in the face and then in the stomach as Barry fell to his knees. Barry then swung at the man's midsection but he turned to smoke again and moved behind Barry. The smoke then actually hit Barry in the face and then forced itself into Barry's nose and mouth as Barry began to react immediately, trying to breathe.

That looks painful and some of the viewers couldn't help but feel sorry for that dead woman but now they were scared mostly Cisco Caitlin and the others from Earth-1 were scared of Barry's health breathing in that smoke.

He fell to the ground as the sensors in the suit began to lower as Dr. Wells was a bit concerned. "Barry? Barry, can you hear me?!" Dr. Wells said over the speaker.
"His vitals are weak Dr. Wells, but they're still there. I'm sure he's fine." Naruto said as a whoosh of air hit the lab and Barry appeared near the computers, with his mask off and hyperventilating.
"I…I can't breathe {Cough}" Barry managed to say as his lungs ways began to constrict.
"He needs oxygen! GET THE CRASH CART!" Dr. Wells shouted as Cisco ran to get it while Naruto got him on the lab gurney as Caitlin arrived.
"BARRY!" Caitlin shouted as she ran in and Naruto unzipped his jacket and Cisco tried to get a read on what was in his lungs.
"Cut me open…ah…the poison's still in me…" Barry managed to say.
"He brought us a sample. Caitlin we need to do a pulmonary biopsy, and extract an active portion of that gas!" Dr. Wells said.
"I can't give you any anesthetics, you're metabolism will burn right through it!" Caitlin told Barry.
"I heal quick…remember," Barry said.
"Do it." Dr. Wells said.
"Cisco, hand me the syringe," Caitlin said as Cisco handed her a syringe with a pretty large needle. "This is going to hurt, a lot."
"It's a small needle he probably won't even feel it," Cisco said.
"You're definitely going to feel it," Caitlin said as she stabbed the needle in his chest as Barry felt the extreme pain.

Barry has his hand up to stop Cisco from saying anything, "Don't say anything this is my first time dealing with Nimbus." Barry warns him
(On-Screen)
Barry soon regained consciousness and felt a lot of pain in his chest as he saw Cisco looking at him. "The Streak lives," Cisco said.
"You'd be dead if your lung cells didn't regenerate so quickly," Caitlin said.
"Oh, my chest feels like that one time I had a cigarette," Barry said as Caitlin looked at him weirdly. "Yeah, teen me lived for danger."
"This isn't funny, you could have…" "I didn't," Barry said.
"Now that we have a sample, we'll get to work analyzing it, figure out the makeup of the poison. Maybe get a clue to his human identity." Dr. Wells said.
"Or at least find out a way to stop him from turning into a mist," Cisco said as he got a smile. "The Mist! Ok, that's his name, end of discussion."
"I have to get to the station," Barry said.
"You should be resting," Naruto told him.
"I have to talk to Joe," Barry said as he left.
Barry got changed and headed back to the police precinct and walked into his lab where he saw Joe looking over some files. "Joe, I had him. The meta-human, we were wrong he's not controlling airborne toxins. He can literally transform himself into poison gas." Barry said.
"That's new. The victim was a judge. We're going through some of her old cases to see if there's a connection." Joe said.
"It's too late. I should have been faster." Barry said.
"Focus on the job, don't think about that right now," Joe told him.
"You don't want to know what I'm thinking about," Barry said as he walked over to the window ledge.
"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.
"Didn't I tell you that we would get your father out of prison, together?" Joe said.
"I don't need your help, Joe. I could be in and out of there with him before anyone even sees me." Barry said.
"Ok, you break him out of there. Then what? He's on the run. For the rest of his life, and something tells me that he's not as fast as you are." Joe said.
"You don't know what it's like there," Barry said.
"You think I don't understand what you're feeling? I've been a cop for almost as long as you've been alive. So you should know that putting on that suit does not make everybody safe. For everybody you save, there's going to be somebody you can't, and the hardest thing you're going to have to face is not some monster out there with superpowers, it's going to be that feeling of uselessness. When you can't do anything. Or the guilt that weighs on you when you make a mistake." Joe told Barry as he thought for a moment.
"Something's, Barry, you can't fight. Something's you just have to live with." Joe told him as he left.
(Off-Screen)
Placing his hand on Barry's shoulder "It's ok Barry, I understand what you're going you don't need to be angry as we did eventually help your dad get out of prison.
Smiling "Thank you, Joe." Barry thinks of his stepdad.
(On-Screen)
Back with Naruto, he returned to the shelter and walked into his room to see Tsunade and Shizune waiting for him. "Uh, hi," Naruto said.
"Hey, Naruto," Tsunade said.
"Is something wrong?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know. We were hoping you could tell us." Tsunade said as Naruto looked at her.
"You were in a coma for 9 months and when you get back, you begin to act strange. Not to mention the fact that Dr. Wells from STAR labs seems to have taken an extreme interest in what happened to you and that doesn't normally happen." Shizune said.
"Relax, nothing's going on," Naruto told them as they knew he was lying.
"You always were a bad liar, Naruto," Tsunade said as she stood up and walked up to Naruto. "Seriously, what's going on? We're worried." Tsunade said as Naruto saw they were concerned,…and he didn't feel right from keeping this from them. They needed to know.
"Believe me, it's a long and complicated story," Naruto told them.
"We can keep up," Tsunade said as Naruto sat down and made the decision to tell them the truth.
(Off-Screen)
Even though some of them think that those aren't real they can't imagine how much money she had to pay for to get those boobs right.
From what they can gather upon watching this, they see Tsunade Stepped into the mother role for Naruto after his parents' death which is a good thing as if is the only thing that's keeping Naruto sane right now but also it looks like they have helped Naruto through his grievances as well.
(On-Screen)
After a good night's sleep, Naruto felt refreshed and returned back to STAR Labs. He super sped to the labs and walked through the front door to the main labs. He pulled out the key that Cisco found yesterday in his dad's old goggles from his pocket. He looked at it and wondered what it was for. He then walked into the main lab to see Cisco working at a table and Dr. Wells at the computers.
"Morning," Naruto said as Dr. Wells and Cisco saw Naruto walk in.
"Morning." Dr. Wells said as Cisco walked over to Naruto.
"Hey, fixed your dad's goggles," Cisco said as he handed them to Naruto and Naruto smiled as he saw they were fixed.
"Thanks, Cisco," Naruto said.
"No problem. I did have some ideas about some alterations, so let me know. I've got some great ideas." Cisco said as Naruto chuckled.
"So any idea on what kind of poison we've got?" Naruto asked.
"Almost. The computer is almost done with the reconstruction and identification of the poison." Dr. Wells said as he rolled over to Naruto who put his dad's goggles around his neck. "How are you?"
"Fine." Naruto said.
"Good. Do you still have that key?" Dr. Wells asked.
"Yeah. Did you find out what this unlocks?" Naruto asked.
"No, but I think I may have an idea." Dr. Wells said as he and Naruto walked out of the lab. "Cisco, watch over the computers and contact us when it's done." Dr. Wells said as Cisco nodded.
Dr. Wells then led Naruto to one office that Naruto recognized. "My dad's office," Naruto said.
"Yeah. I figured if he put that key in there, this would be the best place to start looking." Dr. Wells said as Naruto nodded. Naruto then opened the door and saw a partially empty room that his dad used to work in. Some old boxes and furniture were still there collecting dust as Naruto remembered when he was younger, he used to spend a lot of time in this office.
"Wow, it seems like yesterday when my dad used to help me with my homework here," Naruto said as he remembered sitting in an old chair near his dad's desk.
"Yes, those were good times." Dr. Wells said as he smiled as well. They looked around for something that might help them. Dr. Wells looked over the desk while Naruto looked around the rest of the room. He went to the far wall and saw an old photo of his family outside STAR labs when he was younger. Naruto smiled as he remembered the memory but noticed how some dust seemed to seep under the photo, which was kind of weird.
Naruto then reached up to the photo and took it off the wall and saw it was covering a keyhole. "Dr. Wells," Naruto said as Dr. Wells rolled over to Naruto and saw the keyhole.
"Your father was always a clever person." Dr. Wells said as Naruto smiled. Naruto then took the key out and inserted it into the keyhole and turned it 90 degrees and heard a click. Then part of the bookcase pushed out and Naruto saw it was a door. Naruto then opened the bookcase door and walked in as the light in the room turned on. Naruto saw computer monitors around the room that were connected to various machines but the main focal point of the room was in the middle,…it was a suit. Not a business or party suit but some kind of lab suit. Naruto saw it had a large dark orange arrow-like streak down the middle of the suit and dark orange gloves and boots with the rest of the suit colored white. He also saw the suit cover the neck, and parts of the head including the jaw, and sides of the face including the ears but left most of the face and hair uncovered.
(Off-Screen)
Being the designer of many costumes, Cisco had to admit that this costume looks pretty amazing but he could make it even better if he got a hold of it.
"You'll get to see it when we have our next break, Cisco," Naruto assures him sensing what the engineer is thinking about.
(On-Screen)
Naruto walked around the suit, getting a closer look and saw it didn't look like the material used for regular clothes. "What is it?" Naruto asked.
"Not sure. Maybe one of your father's secret projects." Dr. Wells said.
"Secret projects?" Naruto asked.
"If he went to the trouble of hiding the door and key, it was probably for a reason." Dr. Wells said as Naruto nodded and looked at the suit and then walked over to one of the computers. He pressed a button and the screen turned on but said a password was required. Naruto thought for a moment then typed in his father's birth date, his mother's birth date and his mother's name but it was wrong. Naruto then typed in his name and it was right.
"Hmm, Project Control?" Naruto asked.
"Never heard of it." Dr. Wells said.
"It says here that this is a prototype environmental suit. Designed for experiments with hazardous conditions. It has built-in sensors to monitor the researcher's body for any injuries or exposure to dangerous elements. The suit insulates the body's natural heat in situations dealing with extreme colds and can regulate cooling in situations with extreme heat. The suit also is tear resistant and friction proof, my father designed it as the scientist's perfect protection for experiments, for the scientist to maintain absolute control on what he was doing." Naruto said.
"Interesting." Dr. Wells said as he looked over the suit.
"I guess my dad had his fill of secrets," Naruto said as he looked at the suit and then at the computers that had recorded it's last use.
"We all have our secrets. Don't tell me that you don't keep certain things close to the chest?" Dr. Wells joked as Naruto chuckled.
"I wonder why my dad never told me about this or why he never tried to put this into use for other scientists?" Naruto said out loud.
"My guess is that either he wanted to keep one thing for himself or he was afraid of how other scientists or people might use it." Dr. Wells said.
"I guess so," Naruto said as they heard the intercom go off.
"Dr. Wells, the analysis of the poison gas is done," Cisco said over the speakers as Dr. Wells replied using the speaker in his chair.
"We're on our way back." Dr. Wells said as he and Naruto went back to the lab.
"So what do we got?" Naruto asked.
"This," Cisco said as he brought up a 3-D molecular image of the toxin. "Hydrogen Cyanide."
"Hmm." Dr. Wells said as he looked at the image. "There's something else mixed in as well, right?"
"Yeah, it was some kind of sedative," Cisco said.
"That's weird," Naruto said as Barry and Caitlin walked in, having heard Cisco call to them over the speakers at the particle accelerator chamber.
"Hey, check this out. It's a 3-D molecular model of the gas we retrieved from your lungs." Cisco said.
"We have identified the toxin." Dr. Wells said.
"Hydrogen Cyanide?" Barry asked.
"What's interesting is what is mixed in with the cyanide. A sedative." Dr. Wells said as Barry got an idea.
"Of course. The night of the explosion find out if anyone was executed." Barry told Caitlin who used the computer.
"Why?" Naruto asked.
"That sedative is given to criminals on death row before they go to the gas chamber and breathe in hydrogen cyanide," Barry said.
"That's right." Dr. Wells said.
"There was someone executed. Kyle Nimbis." Caitlin said as she brought up his file and photo on the computer.
"That's him," Barry said, recognizing him.
"He was a hitman for the Darbinian crime family. They turned against him and testified. Judge Teresa Howard was the judge at his trial. She sentenced him to death." Caitlin said.
"He must have been affected by the Particle Accelerator while he was being gassed which then fused his body with it," Naruto said.
"Records indicate the execution was completed," Cisco said.
"Well, that's why we didn't find a DNA match. The database only holds records of the living." Barry said.
"Right." Dr. Wells replied.
"He said there was one more person on his list. Check the arrest record, who caught him. That could be his next target." Barry said as Caitlin used the computer.
"Barry. The lead detective…" Caitlin said as she showed Barry the screen and Barry saw it was Joe.
(Off-Screen)
Joe speaks up before anyone can say anything, "In case anyone's wondering I survived this encounter so no need to ask questions." Joe says out loud.
(On-Screen)
"Joe…" Barry said as he took out his phone and called Joe. He waited for an answer but Joe didn't pick up his phone. He tried two more times but nothing so he then called the police station. "Eddie."
"Barry, what's up?" Eddie asked.
"Hey, do you know where Joe went, he's not picking up his cell," Barry said.
"Um, not sure," Joe said.
"Eddie, it's really important I speak to him. I need to know where he went." Barry said.
"He went to Iron Heights,…to see your dad." Eddie as Barry went wide-eyed and then hung up.
"Barry. I reverse-engineered an antidote to the toxin. I hope you won't need it." Caitlin said as she handed him an injector with the antidote. Barry thanked her and then got suited up and left.

Joe arrived at Iron Heights Prison and went through security check-in and registration and was then moved to the visiting section where visitors could talk to family or loved ones through phones and a mirror. Joe walked in and sat down at a booth and then Henry Allen, Barry's father walked through the other side and was confused as to why Joe was there. He sat down and took the phone off the wall as Joe picked up the other phone.
"What are you doing here? Is Barry all right?" Henry asked.
"He's fine," Joe said.
"Then to what do I owe this visit?" Henry asked.
"I know I should have come to see you sooner," Joe said.
"You just weren't up for a little chit-chat with the man who murdered his wife in front of his own son?" Henry asked as Joe got serious.
"Except now I know you didn't kill your wife," Joe said as Henry was a bit shocked and listened. "Some new evidence has come to light…I can't go into detail, it's just that…look. The important thing is, I'm reopening the case. I'm going to find out who really killed Nora, and I promise you, Henry, I'm going to get you out of here. I am so sorry."
"Doesn't matter that you didn't believe in me…cause you always believed in my son," Henry said as the two old friends were starting to repair their friendship.
Henry then heard some wind rustling and the guard choking and saw the guard in the room surrounded by a cloud of green smoke. Joe turned too, to see the guard choking, gasping for breath and trying to breathe but he couldn't and fell to the ground dead. Joe got up and walked to the guard as Henry stood up to get a better view.
Then the green smoke formed in front of Joe and solidified to show Nimbus, and Joe recognized him.
"Nimbus? You're supposed to be dead?" Joe said in shock.
"So are you," Nimbus said as he turned to gas and sent some through Joe's mouth and nose as Joe began to cough and hyperventilate as he tried to breathe but couldn't. Joe fell to the ground and began to into seizure as Henry shouted for help.
(Off-Screen)
Is a heartfelt moment between Joe and Henry as it was two dads talking about Barry to which Joe talked about how Barry was doing while Henry felt that there was something else he wanted to talk about which was his case on the murder of his wife.
But that was all ruined when Nimbus showed up and used his powers on Joe to cause him to have a seizure.
Now they just hope Barry can show up and save his stepdad from dying.
(On-Screen)
"Joe?! JOE?! Help guards, help!" Henry shouted as the green smoke left through the ventilation system.
Henry continued to watch as Joe was shaking when he saw a flash of yellow lightning zoomed into the room and Henry saw some man in a red suit appear next to Joe. Barry arrived and saw Joe going into a seizure. He then took out the antidote and injected it into Joe's neck, as Joe seemed to calm down. Barry then looked up to see his dad looking at him and Joe. So his dad wouldn't recognise him, he moved his face at super-sped, vibrating it so that his face wouldn't be clear. Barry then looked back down at Joe as Joe started to regain consciousness.
"Go get him," Joe whispered as Barry nodded and left.
Back at Star Labs, they were monitoring the situation and saw that Barry used the cure on Joe, the only one. "He used the antidote on Joe," Caitlyn said. "You need to stay away from him, Barry. Do not breathe him in." She said through the communicator.
"What am I supposed to do?" Barry asked.
"Just…keep him coming at you, that should sap his strength," Caitlyn said as Naruto was sick of waiting on the sidelines and he got an idea…but it would take two speedsters.
"Barry, just hold him off for another minute. I got an idea." Naruto said as he then grabbed his goggles on the table and Dr. Wells knew what he was planning to do.
"Naruto, wait—" Harrison was cut off when Naruto super sped away. Naruto ran to his dad's office, grabbed the suit and then booked it to the road leading to Iron Heights as fast as he could while also putting on the suit. He unzipped it, strapped it on and pulled the sleeves up and put on the face part as he then put on his goggles and ran through the city in a blur of orange lightning.
(Off-Screen)
Barry Caitlin Cisco and Joe who were glad to see a version of Joe were still alive but now they were curious about how Naruto was going to help Barry stop Nimbus once and for all.
Overall this should be interesting.
Meanwhile, Naruto didn't say anything as he already knew what was about to happen he just didn't speak up about it.
But he did know some of the people of Earth One aren't going to like what happens at the end of this video screen.
(On-Screen)
Barry was dodging and running away from Nimbus but didn't see a smoke cloud to his side. The cloud solidified a bit and smacked Barry through the air, and sent him tumbling to the ground. Barry groaned as he saw the mist heading towards him but was then tackled to the side and saved. He turned to see Naruto in a white and orange suit with his goggles on.
"Came just in time," Naruto said as he helped Barry to his feet.
"Yeah. Nice suit." Barry said as Naruto smiled. They saw the green mist solidify into Nimbus as he was beginning to breathe heavily. "So, what's the plan?"
"An old high school experiment. Trap some gas in a vacuum." Naruto said as Barry smiled at the plan. They nodded and then super-sped to Nimbus as he exploded in a cloud of green smoke. Naruto and Barry ran around Nimbus in a circle, creating an air vacuum that would prevent Nimbus from smoking out. The vacuum wasn't giving his smoke a chance to leave. Nimbus concentrated as hard as he could, straining himself but his smoke wasn't leaving the vacuum and after a minute, Naruto and Barry stopped running to see Nimbus on the ground, unconscious from the vacuum that also sucked up the oxygen.
(Off-Screen)
"That's what I'm talking about baby!" Cisco says an excitement at the scene of Nimbus being taken down for good thanks to Naruto and Barry.
The others cheered as well at the scene but others namely Thawne and Homelander didn't cheer as they kind of found it pointless but Thawne secretly enjoyed it the most.
(On-Screen)
"Nicely done there," Barry said as he patted Naruto on the shoulder.
'"All in a day's work." Naruto said.
"Nicely done, both of you." Dr. Wells said over the communicator. "Now bring him back here, the pipeline is ready for him.

After defeating Nimbus and taking him back to Star Labs, Barry rushed Joe to the hospital where they were looking after him. He stayed with Joe and after about an hour, Joe began to wake up and was greeted by the sight of Barry sleeping in a chair. Barry groaned as he began to wake up and saw Joe looking at him.
"Been a while since I saw you sleep," Joe said as Barry chuckled and rubbed his eyes.
"Rescuing you is exhausting." Barry joked as he got out of the chair.
"I really miss the ability to be able to ground you," Joe said as he chuckled.
"Sorry, I went and grew up," Barry said as he shook Joe's hand. "I could have gotten my dad out of Iron Heights tonight."
"I know," Joe replied.
"But you were right. It's not the way." Barry said.
"Daddy." They heard as they saw Iris and Eddie walk in. Iris walked up and hugged her dad.
"Hey, baby. I'm fine, don't worry." Joe said.
"I'll let you guys talk," Barry said as he left.
(Off-Screen)
Everyone Smiled at the stepson and stepdad moment as they felt it was to help calm down the tension on what happened a few minutes ago.
(On-Screen)
Back at Star Labs, Dr. Wells, Caitlyn, Cisco, and Naruto still in his suit but with his goggles off and the face part of his suit down, were standing outside the particle accelerator chamber as they saw Nimbus try and smoke out, or bust open his new jail cell, but it wasn't working.
"Will it hold?" Caitlyn asked.
"The barrier is powered by an 8.3 Tesla superconducting electromagnet, which is about 100 times the strength of Earth's magnetic field," Cisco said.
"In other words, yes," Naruto said as they looked at Nimbus. "He seems angry."
"Indeed," Wells said as he pressed a button on his wheelchair pad. "Goodbye." He said as the accelerator door closed.
"So we're just supposed to get used to working in a lab above a makeshift prison containing criminals with superpowers?" Caitlyn asked.
"You'd be surprised about what you can get you used to." Dr. Wells said.
"Can things get weirder?" Naruto asked.
"Coming from the new speedster wearing the outfit," Cisco said as Naruto looked at himself.
"I think I look good. And it's a nice fit." Naruto said as he patted his shoulder.
"I kind of like the colour scheme. But I'm not sure how I feel about the sort of weird arrow down the middle. And there's not really a mask." Cisco said.
"Well I'm sure when my dad was making this, he didn't think to really conceal his identity," Naruto said as he put his goggles on. "But that's what my goggles are for."
"He's got a point," Caitlyn said.
"Well, I got some ideas of upgrades and enhancements if you want to wear goggles. And I'd like to analyze that suit so I can make more, just in case." Cisco said.
"All right," Naruto said.
"Now, all we need is a name for you," Caitlyn said.
"Oh, I got it. How about, Kid Streak?" Cisco asked.
"Uh, no. I'm not a kid. I'm about the same age as Barry." Naruto said.
"A few years younger. How about, the Orange Flash?" Caitlyn asked.
"Ehh," Naruto said, not sure about it.
"Well maybe if you hadn't left so abruptly, we could have talked this out," Cisco said.
"Hey, I was just acting on impulse," Naruto said as Dr. Wells smiled.
"How about…Impulse?" Dr. Wells asked.
(Off-Screen)
Thawne's eyes widened when he heard this. Now THIS Has changed everything as that name was meant to be for Bart Allen Barry's grandson but now it seems that Naruto is taking on the mental of impulse. He was now fully interested in watching this to see how certain things would change with Naruto's presence and how this would impact his future.
(On-Screen)
"Hmm, a driving force of momentum…I like it." Naruto said.
"Impulse. Not bad." Cisco said.
"All right. Naruto you're Impulse." Caitlyn said.
"Good, well I got to see Tsunade. I was supposed to be back a while ago." Naruto said as he super sped and left. After Naruto left, Cisco and Caitlyn decided to hang out like the old days and Dr. Wells was doing some research before he left. He was in the main room, drinking a glass of scotch as he looked at Barry's costume.
Line Break xxxxx Flashback
Dr. Wells was at the computer as everyone else was starting to evacuate and get clear. Dr. Wells had stayed behind to make sure that Cisco and Ronnie had vented the system properly. He then got a call from Cisco. "Dr. Wells, Ronnie did it. He vented the system." Cisco said.
"Good, Cisco. I'm on my way down." Dr. Wells said as he walked out of the room.
He walked through the hallway and stopped at the wall. He pressed a button and the wall opened to reveal a dark room. He walked in and went to the far wall where a console was placed. He walked over and activated the console as two holographic screens appeared. They were real-time footage of placed cameras at two locations. One was at a gas station on the outskirts of the city and the other was at a CSI lab at the police station. Dr. Wells watched as Barry tried to close the ceiling hatch in his lab and Naruto ran for cover from the storm. Then a flash of lightning filled the sky and then two bolts of lightning struck, one hitting Barry and the other hitting Naruto.
"See you soon, boys." Dr. Wells said.
(Off-Screen)
Once the final scene ended, everyone had their thoughts on what just happened but it was safe to say that they were interested in watching more but Barry on their hand was glaring at Thawne as he knew that the evil Speedster was up to something on the screen.
But all in all the viewings are about to get even more interesting with the way the things are going.
"So, are you guys ready for more?" Naruto asked them.
Their response was yes they wanted to see more of Naruto's life on screen so Naruto pressed the button on the remote to show the next film.
On with the show then.
