He climbed out of the fire escape and I turned around to answer the door. Only, it wasn't the cops that were there. It was Tony.


I immediately turned around to grab my phone and call for help, but Tony grabbed my arm. I couldn't use my speed because I knew if he got away he would expose me to the rest of the world. I was trapped.

"You trying to relive our first date?" I asked Tony as he dragged me back to the West House. He turned around and made his arm turn into metal before punching me in the face. I wiped the blood off of my mouth and started to laugh.

"You're still the same son of a bitch I almost killed 12 years ago."

"Why are we here Tony?" I asked him again.

"We're here to pick up the daughter of the guy who locked me up."

"Leave Iris alone." I struggled through his grip. "It's me you want. I was the one that went to the cops not her. Just take me."

"Well, you're my hostage to get past Iris' detail." He put a knife to my neck. And the cops got out of the car with their guns drawn.

"Freeze!" He demanded. 

"Take a step closer I kill her!"

"Don't listen to him blow us both to kingdom come!" I yelled back at them. "He wants Iris just kill him now!" The officer didn't have to be told twice. He fired the gun at Tony's head, but he turned to steel and the bullet bounced off of him. Tony moved the knife from my neck and threw it at the cop. It hit his neck and he turned and pulled the trigger, shooting the other cop. He busted through the door where Iris was writing her blog. "Iris run!" He approached her and she ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife.

"I'm not going anywhere without you Becca."

"Iris, I'm telling you to run! I will be fine just run and tell Joe and Barry."

"Becca-"

"Iris, trust me. Call Lenny too. His number is in my phone. It's back at the apartment. Run!" She dropped the knife and hurried out the back door. I twisted Tony's arm which was still around my neck, but he turned his other arm to steel and hit me over the head.

Iris's POV

"Dad!" I ran up to my dad and hugged him. "Woodward took Becca. She told me to run and tell you." I said out of breath. I had ran to the station because my keys were inside my house.

"What?"

"He broke through both of our details. He took Becca." He immediately picked up the phone.

"Barry, come back to the station. Woodward has Becca."

I slipped out of the CCPD and went back to Becca's apartment. When I got there, it looked like no one had been there except for an overturned chair. I found her phone on her kitchen counter. Her phone was unlocked and I went into her contacts. Most recent call had the name Lenny on it. It was probably him. I called the number and it rang two times before he picked up.

"Going to bed now princess?" I almost vomited at the name. "Is everything okay?" He asked because of the silence.

"Snart, it's Iris."

"Iris?"

"The woman you kidnapped a few nights ago. Ring any bells?"

"Yes, I know who you are. Where is Becca?"

"I don't know. No one does. Woodward took her."

"That's not possible. I- I left when her detail showed up. She- she was fine." I could hear the pain in his voice. 

"She's not now. Are you in Central City?"

"No- no I'm in Coast City. I- I can't get out of this job."

"And she thinks you're a good boyfriend." I said underneath my breath.

"You're right. I am a horrible boyfriend I left her with him and now I can't get her back. Iris, please, please do whatever you can to bring her home."

"I promise."

Becca's POV

When I woke up, we were back in our old high school. "Why'd you bring us back here Tony, finally going to get that GED?" He punched me again. I watched as he walked over to the trophy case with his old wrestling trophy in it. I slowly got up and walked beside him.

"You know, I got to say, you look better than you did in high school. And you looked good in high school."

"Well, why didn't you say anything." I walked towards him until his back hit the wall. I quickly pulled the fire alarm and turned around, but without my super speed, Tony was faster than me. He grabbed my arm and turned me back to him.

"You think someone's coming to save you?"

"I don't think it. I know it." It was almost on queue that Barry ran in.

"Ha. The streak. Come to rescue your fangirl's bestie, huh?" 

"Let her go Woodward. Your fight is with me not her."

"Well, she got me thrown in prison, so not just with you." He tossed me to the side and started throwing punches at Barry who was struggling. Eventually he ran away. 

"Come on!"

"Ha. Your hero's a wuss." All of a sudden, Barry blew through the doors. Tony steeled up, but the punch was too much. I could hear Cisco yelling on the comms.

"SUPER SONIC PUNCH BABY!" He fell to the floor, but he was still conscious. When he got up, I punched him, finally knocking him out.

"Ah. I think I broke my hand." I looked down at my deeply bruised hand.

"Me too." All of a sudden, I started to feel super light headed and I collapsed to the floor.
