The Pain and the Pleasure-Leonard Snart

We're not the only ones...

The next few hours Rebecca spent at Star Labs, trying to discover her powers with Cisco, Dr. Wells and Caitlin. Barry came in, his face filled with anger.

"We weren't the only ones affected in the particle accelerator explosion, were we?" He asked. The four colleagues shared a nervous glance before Wells spoke up.

"We aren't sure."

"You said the city was safe. That there was no residual danger. But that's not true, so what really happened that night?" Barry went back at him. 

"Well, the accelerator went active. We all felt like heroes and then, it all went wrong." he said, pointing to the screen behind Barry. "The dimensional barrier ruptured, un-leashing unknown energies into the world. Anti-matter, dark energy, x-elements-"

"Those are all theoretical." Barry pointed out.

"And how theoretical are you and your sister Mr. Allen? We mapped the dispersion throughout and around Central City. Though, we have no way of knowing exactly what, or who was exposed. We have been searching for other meta-humans like you two."

"Meta-humans?" 

"That's what we've been calling them." Rebecca formed her brother. 

"I saw one today. He's a bank robber that can control the weather."

"This just keeps getting cooler." Cisco said like a kid.

"This is not cool. All right? A man died. Mardon must have gotten his powers the same way I did. From the storm cloud. He's still out there. We have to stop him before he hurts someone else."

"Barry!" Dr. Wells went back, "That's a job for the police."

"I work for the police."

"As a forensic assistant."

"You're responsible for this. For him."

"What's important is you. Both of you!" he said pointing to Rebecca, "Not me. I lost everything. I lost my company. I lost my reputation. I lost my freedom. And then you broke your arm and it healed in three hours. Inside your bodies could be a map to a whole new world- genetic therapies, vaccines, medicines, treasures buried deep within your cells and we cannot risk everything because you want to go out and play hero! You are not a hero. You are just a young man who was struck by lightning. " He gave Caitlin, Cisco, and Rebecca a small glance of disappointment before running away.

"I've been going over unsolved cases from the past nine months and there's been a sharp increase in unexplained deaths and missing people. Your meta humans have been busy." Barry explained. He had come back a few hours later, in hopes of taking down Clyde Mardon with his sister, Cisco and Caitlin. "Now, I'm not blaming you. I know you didn't mean for any of this to happen. I know you all lost something. But I need your help to catch Mardon and anyone else out there like him. But I can't do it without you." He said.

"If we're gonna do this, we have something that might help." he said pointing between him and the older Allen sibling. 

"Something we've been playing around with." Rebecca told her brother.

"Designed to replace the turnouts firefighters traditionally wear. We thought that if S.T.A.R. Labs could do something nice for the community maybe people wouldn't be so angry at Dr. Wells anymore."

"How is it going to help me?" Barry asked curiously.

"Us," she corrected him, "It's made of a reinforced trim-polymer. It's heat resistant, so it should withstand our moving at high velocity speeds. And the aerodynamic design should help us maintain control. Plus, it has built in sensors, so we can track your vitals and Cisco and Caitlin can stay in contact with us from here."

"Thanks." was all he said.

"Now, about Mardon, I retasked S.T.A.R. Labs satellite to track any metrological abnormalities over Central City. We just got a ping. Atmospheric pressure dropped 20 millibars in a matter of seconds. I've tracked it to a farm just west of the city." Caitlin chimed in. Rebecca and Barry each grabbed one of the two suits there and sped off.

When they got there they saw Joe and Eddie leaning against a car. Eddie was unconscious and Joe was supporting him. Mardon had used his powers to create a tornado.

"Barry? Becca? This things getting closer. Guys are you there?" Cisco asked over comms.

"Yeah we're here." Rebecca responded.

"If this keeps up it could become an F-5 tornado." 

"How do we stop it? Guys?" Barry and Rebecca didn't get a response, so she proposed an option.

"What if we run around it in the opposite direction? Cut off its legs?"

"You guys would each have to clock over 700 miles per hour for that to work. We don't know if your bodies could handle that. You would both die" Cisco said nervously.

"We have to try." Rebecca responded. She nodded at her brother who nodded back. Then they ran. It didn't seem like it was working. Mardon threw them away from the tornado.

"Guys it's not working!" Barry said loudly, trying to speak over the wind.

"You can do this Barry and Rebecca. You were right. I am responsible for all of this. So many people have been hurt because of me. And when I looked at you two, all I saw was two more potential victims of my hubris. And yes, I created all this madness, but you two can stop this. You can do this. Now run, Allen run!" Harrison Wells said inspirationally over the comms. This was as alive as he had felt since the explosion. And it was all the Allen siblings needed to hear. They stopped the tornado.

"Barry? Rebecca?"

"Yeah. We're here."

"Hey." came a voice from behind them. They turned around and saw Clyde Mardon holding a gun, before they both realized their masks were down. "I didn't think there was anyone else like me."

"We're not like you. You're a murderer." Rebecca said proudly. He raised his gun at the woman, but before he had the chance to shoot, he was shot my none other than Joe West. 

"Barry? Becca?" he asked them.

"It's over Joe." Barry responded. 

And then, Rebecca fainted.

Hi! Just wanted to say that I'm trying to upload more. Right now it's 1:30 in the morning where I am, but I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm following the flash script, so Snart won't be introduced until episode 4, but please hang on I promise it will be worth the wait.
