Running on Water: The Flash

chapter 28

"Oh my god." I mumbled under my breath. My eyes were widened in shock, I was standing as stiff as an oak and I couldn't even speak. "You're seeing this, right?" Barry asked also shocked to see Oliver standing in front of an army of assassins. "Uh, huh," I said nodding up and down slightly. "You have been called upon by Ra's A Gul!" Oliver said. " "Why?!" I asked breaking out of my shock.. "Because he has heard of your great power." "What great power, I'm a water bender." "He wants you to become his aprentance." "Ya, not gonna happen." "You go to Nanada Parbat or we lay siege to Central City." He said in a serious tone. "Fine." I said with a smirk, I started walking forward when Barry grabbed my arm. "Liz, don't we can find another way." He said starting to tear up. "Barry, please, trust me." He gave me a slight nod and let me go.

I walked over to Oliver, "what happen to you, Oliver?" I asked. "Oliver is dead, I am Al-Sah-Him." He said not even looking at me. "Oliver, this is not you. What happen to the promise you made of protecting your city. How Diggle would be there if you turned into something else." He still wasn't looking at me, I didn't even know if he was listening. "Oliver Queen! Listen to me! You have friends, friends who care about you. Friends who love you, you can't just leave them. What about Thea, who's going to take care of her, huh. Malcolm, I know you don't want that!" I said letting it all out because I got annoyed of what he had become. He then looked at me with a very serious face, he took a step closer. "You will show respect to Reshime A Gul." He said pulling back his sword getting ready to strike. I pulled my hand back then shot it forward sending Oliver flying with a wave of water. Thats when everything went south. When Oliver stood up he had a mad look on his face, like really mad. He pulled out his bow and started firing arrows. The army he had standing behind him started running towards us. I fought off as many as I could, so did Barry, but we knew this fight was uneven.

Barry was speed punching one of the soldiers when Oliver came up behind him and sent one of his small arrows through his leg. Barry fell on one knee and Oliver came up behind him bow drawn back ready to fire. I knocked out the one I was fighting and sent a wave towards Oliver. Weaving through all the people, right before it hit Oliver, I turned my open hands into fists making the water go faster and I could see, in the water, what looked like blue electricity. I hit Oliver right before he could fire his arrow sending him flying backwards and shocking him at the same time. I ran over to Barry helping him up. I looked around and the League of Assassins were already running away. I walked over to Oliver slapping him in the face waking him up. "Tell Ra's A Gul that if he wants me to become his aprentance, he has to come tell me himself and if he hurts anyone in this whole city or any city, he's going to regret it." I said going up all in his face. He stood up and walked backwards towards the edge of the building. "You have made a terrible mistake." He said jumping off the edge and swinging on a grapple arrow.

"Are you ok?" I asked walking closer to Barry. "I'll be fine, but I could use some healing." He said with a smile while trying his best not to fall over. "Sure." I said pulling water out of my bag and rapping it around Barry's injured leg. "So, what was that?" He asked when I was finished. "What was what?" I asked. "The water." "Oh, I don't know, I saw Oliver ready to shoot at you so I just turned my hand into a fist and blue electricity appeared in the water." "That wasn't even like electricity, it was more like-" Barry stopped mid sentence and his eyes went wide.

Barry POV
Liz finished healing my leg and I stood up feeling better now with a healed leg. "So, what was that?" I asked curious about the water Liz hit Oliver with. "What was what?" She asked. "The water." "Oh, I don't know, I saw Oliver ready to shoot at you so I just turned my hand into a fist and blue electricity appeared in the water." "That wasn't even like electricity, it was more like-" I stopped mid sentence and my eyes went wide. "Barry, what is it?" Liz asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice. "What, oh nothing. Its fine, I just, I'll call you later." and I raced off the rooftop we were on. "Hey, you can't leave me up here!" I heard Liz yell from the roof. 'Man, oops.' I ran back up and carried her to Star Labs.

Liz POV
Barry carried me to Star Labs and we were in the main room in seconds. "Sorry." Barry said rubbing the back of his neck with a dorky smile. "Uh huh, so what were you going to say on the roof?" I asked still wondering what Barry was going to say. "Nothing, its fine." "Barry Allen, I have these two things called eyes and thats not what I see." "Its nothing, it just reminded me of a dream I had." "What dream?" "Nothing, just it doesn't make sense how Oliver is Al Sah-Him, we were just with him a couple of days ago." "Barry, what are you talking about. I've never met Oliver until today." I said completely confused. "This is so weird, but the dream, it felt so real."

"What happened in the dream?" "Ya, I think its best if I don't say." "Barry, what happened?" I asked a little more serious. "I don't think I should tell you." "Tell her what?" Caitlin asked walking into the room. "Oh, hey Caitlin. Uh, nothing, its fine." Caitlin looked at me with a signature face. "Barry, had a dream that has something to do with my new power and he won't tell me. He also said he saw Oliver a few days ago and we just faced off against him as the new Reshime A Gul, Al Sah-Him." "You got a new power?" Caitlin asked walking over to the computers. "Ya, apparently I can electrocute people with water." "Wow, I will need to take a blood sample and run some tests." Caitlin said sterilizing a needle. "Oh, about that, I hate needles." "Its a small needle, I don't think you'll feel it." Barry said trying to reassure me. "She's definitely going to feel it." Caitlin said sticking the needle up arm. I winced in pain grabbing Barry's hand squeezing it really hard then letting go. "Owch."

"I will run tests on this and we should know whats going on in about 30 minutes or so." Caitlin said walking away with the blood sample. "Now we're going to see whats wrong." Barry said wrapping his arm around my waist. "Ya and now you're going to tell ne what your dream was." "Its nothing, you don't need to worry." "Uh, when my superpowered boyfriend thinks he saw a friend a few days ago then tried to kill us a few hours ago. I think its I need to worry about." "I can't, what happen in the dream, it-it kind of killed me inside." "Barry, was it your-" "No, no, it wasn't my mom. It-it was you." He said starting to tear up. "Oh my god, Barry. I'm sorry, I promise I will never leave you." I said pulling him into a hug. "The test results are back!" Caitlin said walking in with her tablet." "So whats wrong?!" Barry asked walking up to her. "Nothing really, everything looks fine, except-" "Except Liz's cells are glowing..." Barry trailed off looking up at me with a concerned face then at Caitlin. "Soooo, whats wrong?" I asked sticking my hands in my pockets.

"Look at your cells," Caitlin said walking over with the tablet. "Ok, they're glowing, I don't-" Them it hit me. "They're glowing just like Barry's cells." I said with a face of shock. "Caitlin how is that possible? How can she have cells like mine?" Barry asked. "She doesn't have the same cells, her cells have the same-how can I say this-they have the same mutation." "Okay, but how is that possible entirely?" I asked. "I'm not sure, yet. You're both metas, maybe you shared a connection or something. I mean you did wake up the same way Barry did when he got out of his coma." "What do you mean, a connection?" I asked. "You mean like a kiss?" Barry asked. "No, I don't think it was a kiss. Maybe if you both scratched yourselves and touch the wound, you could have possibly passed some blood. It could be anything." Caitlin said leaning other the computers. "It could even be a tear." When Caitlin said that I saw Barry's head shoot up, "Barry, what is it?" He looked at me and Caitlin, "the tear."
