Part 8: Battle
STAR LABS
Barry made eye contact with his daughter, both of them knew what they had to do. "Suit up," he said and in a flash, both speedsters were in their super suit. He then looked at his team who were still in a state of shock. "Let's put our plan into action," he said. And then in a flash, both Barry and Nora were gone.
CITY HALL
/NOTE: Pursuit is disguising his voice/body by vibrating it the entire time for this chapter/
Pursuit looked around observing the area from where he stood. Slowly his eyes changed back into a hazel color as he took some deep breath trying to calm down. His eyes soon landed on the camera guy and the reporter who was still filming him a few blocks away.
"Oh!" he said surprised, "Looks like I already have some fans" he smirked. He then was by their side in a blink of an eye ripping the camera out of the camera guy's hands. "You mind?" he asked vibrating his voice. The camera guy along with the reporter stood there frozen in fear. Slowly they began to nod their head allowing the speedster to continue. The speedster smiled satisfied seeing the look of horror on their face. "Good," he said still vibrating his voice. He then pointed the camera at himself.
"Citizens of Central City!" the mysterious speedster began, "Fear not, I am not here to hurt you. I am only here for one reason, and one reason only. I am looking for a speedster that goes by the name...Rewind." he said smirking. "So come out, come out, wherever you are...Rewind. You can't hide forever" he said looking directly at the camera.
Suddenly there was a gust of wind in front of Pursuit taking the reporter and the camera guy along with it. Pursuit quickly turned around dropping the camera and breaking it in the process, to see the one person he came here for..Nora.
"It's about time you showed up," replied the speedster, "I was beginning to think that you didn't get my...message," he said smirking and looking down satisfied at the small meteor sized crater he created.
"Why are you here?" asked Nora.
"I already told you that" replied Pursuit.
"Yeah, but what did you mean when you said, collect me?" asked Nora trying to buy time.
"I'm sure you're very familiar with my line of work, Nora" replied the speedster, "especially since you are from a different time".
"Why do you need to collect me? What did I do?" she asked innocently.
"You know exactly what you did Nora," replied the speedster bitterly. "Which is why the speed force has sent me here to collect you. So that you can be brought in, and justice will be served," he smiled wickedly at the thought.
"No," said Nora shaking her head,"I'm not going with you"
"I'm afraid that's not your choice," replied the speedster taking a step towards Nora. Suddenly in a flash of yellow, a person clad in a red suit stopped right in front of Nora. It was The Flash, the hero of Central City. Pursuit was a bit surprised to see the city's hero here, standing before him.
"Flash," said Pursuit stunned. "What a surprise to see you here?" he said recovering back with his infamous smirk (kind of like Sebastian Smythe's 😏). "I got to say, it's quite an honor to meet Central's City's greatest hero," replied Pursuit.
"Get away from her Pursuit" snarled Flash.
"I'm afraid I can't do that," replied Pursuit shaking his head back and forth. "So...why don't you...run along Flash, I'm sure you have some saving to do," said Pursuit with a grin.
"No," replied the Flash taking a step towards Pursuit, "I'm not leaving. Not until you tell me the real reason why you're here."
"The information that you seek is a bit too much for your little brain to handle, Flash" Pursuit replied back cockily.
"Oh yeah" Flash challenged, "try me"
There was a slight pause between the two speedsters as it seemed like Pursuit was actually considering it. After a while Pursuit groaned loudly before saying, "Alright, you want to know why I'm here Flash? I'll tell you why I'm here! I'm here because the speed force has sent me here to collect Rewind because they want her. So if you'll just excuse me, I'll just take her and be on my way" said Pursuit walking past the Flash.
Quickly Flash blocked Pursuit advance, standing a couple of inches away from his face. "LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE" growled Flash.
Pursuit took a couple of steps away from the Flash, taken aback by his comment. "Y-Your daughter?" replied Pursuit. "You know who she is?!" he said bubbling with anger.
"Of course I know who she is," replied the Flash, "Who the hell are you!!"
"It doesn't matter," replied Pursuit shaking his head. "Now I suggest you leave Flash, because this," he said gesturing around them, "does not concern you. This is just between me, and Rewind," said Pursuit glaring at Rewind.
"No," said Flash, "I'm not leaving. I'm not just going to let you take my daughter away from me!" he growled taking a step towards the speedster.
"Well, you better step back Flash, because I'm not leaving without her," Pursuit growled back taking a step towards the Flash. "She's my mission and I intend to complete it".
"Well god so help me because when I'm done with you your gonna be wishing you were dead," Flash said furiously.
"Was that a threat Flash?" Pursuit inquired, "Because if so you have no idea wh-" he began to say before he was punched straight in the jaw making his head turn swiftly to the side. Slowly he turned back his head around to face the Flash.
"I don't want to fight you" Pursuit pleaded with the hero.
"It's a little too late for that" replied the Flash brutally throwing Pursuit out of the crater making his body slam into a nearby car at super speed. Pieces of glass from the car surrounded Pursuit as he tried to stand up. Once he managed to stand up he saw Nora standing behind the Flash with an evil grin on her face, happy to see that her father was willing to protect her. Pursuit grimaced at the metal taste of blood in his mouth. He cocked his head to the side spitting out the blood then wiped the trail of blood leaking from his lips with his backhand. He looked down at the bloodstain on his hands with anger in his eyes. "Ok that's it!" said Pursuit getting into a fighting stance, "I'm done playing nice with you" he growled with lightning crackling in his eyes.
In a flash both Flash and Pursuit charged at each other. Flash threw a super speed punch at Pursuit making him double over. Pursuit quickly regained his balance just in time as Flash threw another punch at him, ducking and kicking him in the leg. Flash dropped down grunting in pain as Pursuit used this as an advantage to get away. Flash immediately got up after Pursuit left chasing him around the city. "DAD!" screamed Nora as she saw her father chasing after Pursuit. Then in a flash, she too was gone chasing after them.
The three speedsters ran around the city leaving behind a trail of lighting in their wake. Going at unmarkable speeds, they shattered nearby car windows and set off car alarms as they darted around the city.
STAR LABS
Team Flash was watching the news as it showed Pursuit making his speech. Suddenly the screen of the TV went black and a message popped up saying that the signal was lost.
"What's going on?" Iris asked as she watched the tracker of her daughter and husband suit popping up all over the city.
"It seems that Barry is trying to take down Pursuit" replied Harry like it was obvious.
"And Nora" added in Ralph.
"Yeah, her too" Harry replied back annoyed.
"Do you think they will be able to take down Pursuit?" Caitlin asked worried, "I mean Nora wasn't able to take him down the first time. What makes this time any different? What if they can't do it," she said.
There was silence in the Cortex as the other took in what Caitlin said. Could it be true they wondered? Quickly Harry shook his head trying to diminish those thoughts. "Well just have to wait and see," said Harry trying to think optimistically. Suddenly an alarm went off in the Cortex.
"What is that?" asked Joe.
"There seems to be some high rise wind signature coming from downtown Central City," said Ralph looking at one of the monitors. "Cisco, pull up the footage," said Harry.
With a click of a mouse, the security footage of the scene was pulled up. Everyone in the room gasped as they looked at the screen. The screen showed a giant vortex in the middle of downtown Central City. Inside the vortex, there was an electrical charge with what seemed to be lighting dancing inside of it. There was three distinct color of lighting that could be made out: yellow, purple, and...is that...light blue? (image above)
"Holy mother of God" breathed out Cisco looking at the screen😱.
CITY HALL
Pursuit was running around in circles trying to get Flash and Rewind off his tail with no luck. They were on his trail no matter which direction he went. They thought they were catching up to him, maybe, but Pursuit had other things in mind.
While Pursuit was running around his suit was absorbing the energy he produced as well as around him converting it to an energy that he could use later on. It was only a matter of time before Pursuit decided to put that energy to good use. Running up the side of a building with the Flash and Rewind close behind him, Pursuit jumped off the building doing a backflip in the air propelling his body off the wall and towards the ground below. Switching their previous direction Flash and Rewind quickly rushed back down the side of the building trying to catch Pursuit before he could fall to his death. Just before Pursuit could reach the ground, he quickly did one more flip in the air before landing with his fist imprinted on the ground, sending out a shockwave of energy from his suit (similar to black panther's suit).
The energy blast sent Flash and Rewind flying in different directions as glass shattered all around them. Flash was slammed into a nearby car and layed unconscious on the ground, while Rewind had her back slammed against a pole. In an instant, the once active vortex died down. Pursuit stood up from the cracked cement with piercing white eyes and white hair. He breathed in heavily as he took in his surroundings.
His eyes caught an injured Nora laying down on the ground trying to stand up. He slowly strutted over towards her with anger in his eyes. Nora tried even harder to stand up but didn't have the strength too since her body was still trying to recover from that blast. As Pursuit got closer Nora shock in fear as she saw the rage in his eyes. It seemed as if the temperature in the air had dropped radiating Pursuit's anger. Once Pursuit was just a meter away from reaching Nora, she managed to use the little bit of energy she had in her to run. As she got up and was about to run she was swiftly pulled back by the arm. Pursuit held onto her arm forcefully so that she couldn't escape. "You can't run forever," he said looking into her eyes. Angrily, Nora kicked Pursuit in the back of the leg making him grunt in pain and letting go of her. Hastily, she managed to run a couple of feet away before she was brutally thrown against a car. Grunting in pain Nora stood up.
"Face it, Nora," said Pursuit, "You can't escape me!" he said grinning wickedly. "Shut the hell up!" said Nora swinging a punch towards Pursuit. The two speedster began to fight swinging punches and kicking at each other. Eventually, Nora was beginning to slow down due to her body still recovering from the blast, allowing Pursuit to use this to his advantage. In a swift motion, Pursuit punched Nora in the ribs making her scream out in pain, as she dropped to her knee's clutching her wound. Reaching down to the side of his boot, Pursuit grabbed his tranq dart and stabbed Nora right in the back of her leg. Nora screamed out in agonizing pain as the sharp object dug into her skin. Forcefully pulling it out, Pursuit smiled satisfied as Nora groaned in pain. Looming over her, Pursuit was just about to grab her arm when he was brutally thrown slamming against a brick wall.
"Stay the HELL away from my daughter Pursuit!!" Flash yelled angrily.
Standing up shakingly Pursuit laughed viciously at the Flash with blood dripping out his mouth. "I don't think so," he said before attacking. The two speedster began to fight in what looked like a lightning storm of yellow and blue lighting. After some time, Flash kept throwing punches after punches at Pursuit as he let him. Eventually, getting tired of it Pursuit ruthlessly grabbed Flash's arm and threw him brutally against the side of a bus knocking him out.
"DAD!" screamed Nora seeing her father unconscious. Looking at Nora irritatedly Pursuit began to walk towards her. Nora tried to crawl away from Pursuit as he got closer. "Please," Nora began, "I'm sorry! Please don't take me. Please don't hurt me" she begged Pursuit. Grabbing her arm with one hand Pursuit said, "You're coming with me", before reaching over to the side of his belt with his other arm to grab his handcuff.
Just as he was about to handcuff Nora, he was violently thrown across the street by a blue blast colliding into a brick wall that crumbled on top of him. Nora turned her head towards where the blast had come from to see Vibe and Elongated Man. She sighed relieved to see her friends. Quickly, Cisco took off his vibe glasses.
"Yikes!" grimaced Cisco as he looked at the crumbled wall.
"Did you kill him?" asked Ralph looking at Cisco.
"I hope not," replied Cisco. "I just wanted to knock him out, not kill him!"
Hurridly Ralph and Cisco ran over towards Pursuit. They pushed some of the broken rubble that was on top of the speedster until they could see him. Pulling him out Cisco checked for a pulse.
"He's alive" Cisco sighed relieved.
"Thank god," said Ralph before running over to check on Nora and Barry.
In an instant, Cisco handcuffed Pursuit with the meta cuff and watched in awe as the speedster hair changed from white to light brown. "Woah," said Cisco amazed😮.
"Hey Nora," said Ralph, "are you ok?" he asked helping her stand up.
"Yeah I'm fine," grunted Nora standing up. "Go check on Flash," she said gesturing to Barry.
Running over towards an unconscious Barry, Ralph tried shaking him awake. "Hey Rookie," said Ralph shaking Barry who just moaned in his sleep. "Stop sleeping on the job!" Ralph shouted at him😂.
"Hmmh.," replied Barry quickly opening his eyes. "Ralph!" said Barry seeing him here for the first time. "What are you doing here?" Barry asked grunting in pain as he tried to sit up.
"I'm saving your sorry ass," replied Ralph cockily.
"Really?" said Barry annoyed.
"Hey, you asked," said Ralph grinning with his hands up in defense.
"Just help me up," said Barry.
"OK, Ok," said Ralph helping Barry up.
Quickly Ralph helped Barry up and the two of them began to walk over towards Nora and Cisco who stood next to an unconscious Pursuit.
"Nora!" said Barry embracing his daughter in a hug. "Are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," replied Nora hugging him back. "It's just my leg that hurts," she said.
"Well will get Caitlin to check it out when we get back," said Barry reassuring her.
"Ok," said Nora having no energy left in her to argue or fight back.
"How is he?"Barry asked Cisco gesturing to Pursuit.
"He's unconscious for now" informed the engineer. "Ready to go?" he asked them.
"Yeah," replied Barry, "Let's go"
Directly on command, Cisco opened a breach to Star Labs. Just as Cisco was about to pick up Pursuit Barry stopped him.
"I got him," said Barry, "You help Ralph with Nora"
Nodding his head Cisco helped Ralph lead Nora into the breach. Bending down to pick up Pursuit, Barry studied the speedster face for the first time. He was so young, a teenager to be precise. Why would someone so young want to do this, Barry wondered. Barry watched as Cisco, Ralph, and Nora entered the breach. Taking one last look at the speedster in his arms, Barry proceeded after them into the breach.
