From Jinchuriki to Speedster

Chapter 17: Trickster

Week Later

Joe's House

Naruto and Joe were in the living room, with a white board filled with info from his mom's and Barry's murder, along with everything they knew on Wells which wasn't much "All right, this is everything that we know about Harrison Wells, which is actually not a lot." Naruto said

"Didn't you read a whole book about him?" Joe asked

"I just brought it, and out of that 600 pages price of crap the big takeaway is, he's enigmatic." Naruto said

"Your mom, and Barry were killed by a speedster. Wells' machine turned you into a speedster. That's way too many coincidences for this old cop."

"Tell me about it." Naruto said glaring at the photo of Wells before he looked to Joe "Do you think that he wanted me to become The Flash?"

"Everything he's done since that night you got struck by lightning bringing you to S.T.A.R. Labs, giving you the suit, helping you it's all been to keep you safe."

"And to make me faster. Wells once said that he needed more speed from me, and tried to make it sound like my speed was the key to curing all manner of things."

"We don't know what his goals are yet, but he wants something from you, Nate. We just need to figure out what it is." Joe said causing Naruto to nod and hands before he pointed at Joe in full agreement

"Now we're talking." Naruto turning to speed away but Joe quickly grabbed him

"Woah, woah, you know how this works, we can't confront him now as much as we might want to."

"Come on Joe, we had suspicions about Wells from the very beginning. For all we know he might be the man in yellow."

"Except the blood from your house didn't match him." Joe reminded

"Okay, then how about the fact, there is no medical records for Wells ever being admitted into a hospital? Hell, the last check up he had was 15 years ago." Naruto said before he picked up a pair of scissors and stabbed them into Wells picture and turned back to Joe "He either is in league with Reverse Flash, or he is the Reverse Flash, either way could have the key to getting my dad out of prison."

"I hear you, I do, but whatever Wells wants from you, it started 15 years ago, and he's been patient. Scary patient." Joe said walking up and taking the scissors from Wells picture and turned to Naruto "You gotta listen to me on this. We have to be just as patient."

"What are we going to do about Iris? She's been asking about Mason."

"I'll figure something out." Joe said

"She needs to learn the truth, her asking about a man who for all we knock is dead, is dangerous."

"I'll think about it." Joe said, as Naruto shook his head and they put up the board some place safe, where Iris wouldn't find it

Meanwhile

At a park families were having a good time as children played before they all noticed small boxes with red parachutes descending from the sky "Oh wow." a mother said smiling as her daughter looked up in awe

Everyone was all smiles till the first box touched down and exploded "Oh shit!" a woman yelled before everyone began to run to safety grabbing their children as the bombs exploded repeatedly before a father saw his son looking up at a box and reaching for it

"Henry?" the man asked his eyes widening in horror as his son reached for the box "Henry!"

Henry was only fingertips from touching the box, when Naruto sped in and grabbed him, having seen the smoke rising on his way home
