CHAPTER 29 - FIRESTORM

TIMESKIP

ALFRED'S HOUSE

Speed was on the couch looking at a photo of a little Eevee and a Flareon, it was him and his mother

Alfred then walked in and noticed Speed looking at the photo: "Speed?"

Speed looked up and at Alfred

Alfred: "Should I have not shown you?"

Speed shook his head: "No, I had to know."

Alfred sighed: "We have been through so much. You have...all your life and you've been so strong."

Alfred then walked over to Speed

Alfred: "But I am still your guardian, and it's my job to guard you, not just physically, but from heartache."

He then sat down on the couch: "I can't help but feeling like I just handed you a brand new burden."

Speed nodded: "Yeah. "

He then looked at the Arcanine: "But it's our burden, right?"

Alfred: "Yeah."

Speed then asked Alfred something: "Hey, can I ask you something?"

Alfred nodded

Speed: "How did you know that the blood in the house belonged to me? You would have had to have tested it specifically."

Alfred sighed: "Trace tested it against everymon who worked at S.T.A.R. Labs."

Speed: "You wanted to know if it belonged to Wells?"

Alfred remained silent

Speed sighed: "Alfred. Dr. Wells had nothing to do with my mom's murder. You believe that now?"

Alfred nodded: "Yeah... I do."

CORTEX, S.T.A.R. LABS

Wells put an ice cube into one glass, he then poured some whiskey into it, he then poured whiskey into another glass

Wells picked up the glass with an ice cube and handed it to Robert, he then grabbed the other glass

Robert held up his glass: " Cheers."

Wells held up his glass: "Cheers."

They clinked the glasses and drank the liquor

Robert: "This is quite an impressive facility."

Wells sighed: "Well, it was. Now it's just a shell, I'm afraid."

Robert: "Must have been devastating, seeing your life's work fall to pieces before your eyes."

Wells nodded: "It was and yet, it was the exact same moment your life's work came to fruition."

Robert tilted his head: "My life's work?"

He then shook his head: "If living the last 14 months as a conjoined meta-Pokémon has taught me anything, it's that my life's work should have been being the best husband I could to my wife."

Robert then leaned onto the desk for support

Wells: "Are you all right, Robert?"

Robert nodded: "I apologize, it's just...I feel a little light-headed..."

His eyes roll back and he falls onto the floor, the sound of a glass shattering was heard

ALFRED'S HOUSE

Black was walking over to Pearl when he stumbled and almost fell, but he caught himself

Pearl gasped and ran over to him: "Are you okay?"
