Fastest man alive

“It’s my job to protect the Gem Cities. To protect my friends. No matter the price I have to pay. I won’t stop running.” Barry Allen, commonly known as The Flash. Affiliated with Citta Alveare

“Bored already. You’re just like the way I prefer my crooks. Dumb and slow…“

“Well, there goes my hope on you getting us out of here. No offense—it’s just, if they can limit us both? We’re gonna be here a while.” 

“You think these guys are working with forces beyond us? I’m not having a vacation here, that’s for sure!  It’s like talking backwards is just a neat party trick now…”

[centralspeedster]

“No offence taken, I can understand how it would be expected from me to get everyone back to our cities! I can’t help but worry about it now, I left Central City in bad hands, I’m sure...”

“That’s exactly what I think! It’s always like that, isn’t it? I mean, they’ve proving to be really dangerous.. and people here seem so carefree, do you think that we could be dealing with mind control? Speaking of party tricks, have you seen Constantine yet?”

✡— “Eh… A few months now innit. Not too long. Still though, mate, if you touch my beer I’m coming for your throat.” 

[centralspeedster]

“Really? I was here for a little while some time ago, I thought that I managed to run away, and here I am again... I just managed to see Iris again and I woke up here. I’m not going after that beer, it’s most carbs that I’m after.”

✡— “Oi hot rod, you best not be scoffin’ down all that in the fridge I know you just moved in but that’s shared food here.” 

[centralspeedster]

“Come on now, Constantine, you know that speedsters need more food that the average human, and so does Captain America. Besides, I hear that our sponsor has enough money for that-wait, how long have you been staying here?”

“That… would be indeed helpful. I am lost, as I am looking for a place to gather some herbs. If any are in this… city.”

So much bigger than Kirkwall.

[centralspeedster]

Barry’s costume disappeared into his ring; he didn’t have to be masked up to meet someone new, he bet that this wasn’t the best way to make a good impression.

“Some herbs? Like, in a  garden?”, he asked, trying to remember the map of the city. “I’m pretty sure that one of the districts has a huge park.. we might be able to find something in there?”

Two guys—both clad in ridiculous outfits—walked down the busy street. No, they didn’t know each other, but to those passing by it probably looked like they were friends. You know, considering how similar their costumes were.

It wouldn’t have made much of an impression on Tommy, if only they hadn’t been walking at the same pace for so long.

The light-haired man took in the red suit beside him. Curiously enough, the material looked similar to his own specially made suit, though it was hard to say why. Honestly, it was just like Tommy to ignore the lightning bolt stitched into the guy’s front. It wasn’t the most interesting costume he’d seen before, okay?

Instead, both of his eyes moved back to his own abdomen and he compared the noticeable differences. It was only then that the speedster heard a voice muttering something about Christmas under a breath. Holy shit, they did look like a freaking Christmas advertisement! 

Whipping his head back to the stranger, Tommy looked at him with a slack jawed expression. “You’re making both of us look like a weird holiday card, you know.”

[centralspeedster]

Barry had his eyes fixed on the stranger who was walking next to him. Well, walking wasn’t exactly the way to put it, they might have felt that they were walking, but to the people around them, it certainly looked like they were jogging or power walking. His experienced eyes could tell a speedster from another human so easily, and the white haired kid sure was one.

His eyes narrowed; there was one speedster that he knew off with a green suit, light hair and goggles. Inertia, and he sure didn’t mean well if he ended up in the Hive. As far as he knew, Bart wasn’t around, which meant that he had to deal with his nephew’s enemy and descendant of his own arch enemy alone.

However, the longer he stared at the boy, the less he looked like Thawne. When he talked, he didn’t seem to recognise him either, which was either him being a good actor or genuinely dealing with a new speedster that he never met before. It couldn’t have been impossible, meetings from alternate dimensions and timelines was a common occurrence to his life.

“Well, one of us will have to change, kid. And I’ve been wearing this costume for so long to change it now.”

It was ridiculous for the scientists behind this little experiment to think they could keep his cold gun away from him for long. While it was true they had exchanged the masterpiece he had on him when he arrived, there was one thing they could never take from him: his intimate knowledge of every single mechanism, screw, and wire of that gun. And so, it was after a week of gathering components from various sources –including the cheap imitation he was given in exchange– he had finally replicated what had been stolen from him.

And there was no better time for him to have finished this project– he had recently learned that Barry Allen was somewhere in this city. Maybe they could go ice skating together. Do a little catching up.

He really did like chatting with that kid.

Now as far as the matter of arranging a meeting went, Snart figured he would go with a bank robbery. He was just an old fashioned guy at heart. This wouldn’t be any normal bank job for him, however, this time he didn’t stop any alarms from being raised. 

And so Leonard Snart strode confidently into a branch of the Hive City National Credit Union, reflexively firing a blast of his cold gun at both security guards. The two men quite literally froze in their tracks. “Somebody better call the police.” Cold said mockingly as he walked up to the bank tellers. Predictably, that’s exactly what they did as alarms bells went off loudly before he took more than a few steps. Perfect.

“Thanks.” He smirked before turning his gun on the entire crowd of people around him, firing a steady stream as he went. Now all that remained were the tellers who were scared out of their wits, but before Snart could so much as twitch a muscle, a red blur zoomed into the bank and came to a stop in front of him.

“Well, if it isn’t the Scarlet Speedster. Or should I say…Barry.”

That had to be Barry’s second time that he ended up in that city, he was trying to yet again adjust, relieved to see that the Avengers were still there, as well as Diana, Zatanna and more members of their own League. It was rather quiet, but part of him was eager to face a threat, anything to give him an excuse to run again, test his limits. The fact that he was slowed again only enervated him, and he was continuously trying to tap into the speed force like he always did with no effect. 

News traveled fast in that city, but not faster than he could get to the crime scene. An old fashioned bank robbery, that’s what he was hoping for. As she speeded towards the central bank, the frozen security guards at the entrance genuinely took him by surprise. There were a few villains that had ice powers and that he knew of, but what mattered was how did they manage to get here in the first place.

Running inside the main room, he only had to take one look at the culprit to know who he was; dark blue parka and glasses, his prominent cold gun in hand, or rather, a make shift one that seemed to be working just as well. The next question that came to mind was, if he really was as alone as he seemed. The Rogues almost never operated alone, and he had to be ready to face Heat Wave, Glider, Piper, Trickshot, anyone. 

He stopped in front of the tellers, ready to disarm Snart if he had to. Which he would probably end up doing, but not before getting some answers to his questions. After all, Snart wanted a chat and he was about to offer him one anyway. He might have called him by his real name, but the good thing was, it didn’t matter to anyone in the Hive, not that he knew of. Next thing he knew, Iris could pop out of nowhere.

“Captain Cold”, he greeted him. “Or should I say, Leonard Snart. Has a different ring to it, doesn’t it?”

“Oomf! Sorry, I didn’t mean to run into you, I normally know my way around here but I forgot that this place shifts sometimes.. You see, that’s my second time in this city already...”

“I’m sorry, I don’t want to be rude or anything but...is that thing edible? ”

[tamedcount]

“I dread the implications behind your words, though I suppose we could leave that issue for later. It’s good to see you too, Flash. I’ve needed a bit of good news since I arrived here. Please tell me we’re not the only ones.”

[centralspeedster]

“Yeah, let’s rather have a discussion about how an alternate version of yourself was one of the scariest things I’ve seen in my life...Anyway, yes! I just briefly saw Zatanna, but from what I gathered, a few of Batman’s kids are here...my personal favourite, Captain Cold... and some of the Avengers, remember them?”

[backwardspeak-deactivated201802]

“Can’t be that hard to catch up—considering who it is I’m talking to! I’m sorta surprised though, they managed to snatch The Flash? Still, I get what you mean. Too bad my magic’s near busted in this place.”

[centralspeedster]

“That’s a good one, I’ll give you that, despite the situation that we’re both stuck in! You’re just as surprised as I am, at first I thought that something was off with the Speedforce but no, this seems to be a cross dimensional effect, it’s not only applying to us. What?! How did they manage to do that?! I can think of ways of slowing my speed but your magic too..?”

you’re worth taking a beating for…

“Zatanna, I feel like we haven’t have any time to catch up in ages! What are you doing here? I know it might sound stupid to you and really basic, but can’t you, you know, magic us out of this city?”
