Hellfire (The Flash - Book 2) [RE-UPLOAD]

Chapter 9 - Legends of Yesterday

Team Phlash and Team Arrow met up at a farmhouse in Central City, everybody got out of their cars and grabbed out their belongings."

"A bunch of superheroes in a farmhouse? I feel like I've seen that in a movie before," Thea said.

"We need a secure location," Oliver told us.

"What's wrong with S.T.A.R. Labs?" Caitlin asked.

"Well, I mean, absolutely nothing," Oliver answered. "If you forget about the revolving door you guys installed so the bad guys can come and go as they please."

"Remind me again what happened to your old lair?" Caitlin replied. "Or the one before that?"

"Well, lair number one was compromised by the police," Felicity told us. Oliver gave her a look. "And I will stop helping."

"Savage only let Barry, Zoe and I live because he felt Kendra start to emerge as Hawkgirl and went after her," Oliver told us. "He can sense her and Carter's presence. We don't need to make it easier on him by staying in the city limits."

John looked at Laurel. "Bet you wish you stayed at your mother's place now."

We walked inside.

"We need to find a way to neutralize Savage's advantage," Oliver told us. Barry walked in. "Barry, you're late."

"Sorry," Barry said. "It turns out it's not easy finding the ass-end of nowhere."

"Yeah, for real," Cisco agreed. "The roaming charges alone are going to bankrupt me."

"We're discussing how to take away Savage's newfound power," I informed my boyfriend. "And his magic stick thing."

"Uh, Staff of Horus," Carter corrected.

"Well, it's protected by some kind of energy field," Barry told us. "I couldn't lay a finger on it."

"Maybe you wear mittens next time," Felicity said.

"What if we made some sort of insulated gauntlets?" Caitlin suggested.

"Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah," Cisco chimed in. "The magnetic shielding could disrupt the--"

"Staff's magnetic polarity," Felicity finished.

Felicity, Caitlin and Cisco walked out of the room.

"Well, while the geek squad works--" Oliver started, looking at me and Barry.

"Heard that, honey," Felicity said.

"While they work to get the staff away from Savage, we need to know everything there is to know about him," Oliver told us.

"Well, I googled 'reincarnated nutjobs' and came up with nothing," Thea informed us.

"Kendra and I would be the reincarnated nutjobs," Carter said. "Savage is merely immortal."

"Merely?" Laurel repeated.

"Welcome to the new normal," I told her.

"Anyone who's been around for 4,000 years should leave a trail," John told us. "I'll check with A.R.G.U.S. See if they have anything on him."

"Laurel and I can check police reports and stuff like that," Thea said.

"Good," Oliver nodded. Thea, John and Laurel walked out. Oliver looked at Kendra. "We need to find a way to utilize your new ability."

"My ability?" Kendra repeated.

"It might give us an advantage." Oliver said.

"Yeah, whatever you do, don't let him train you," Barry told her. Oliver looked at him. "I'm sorry, but when it rains, I can still feel where you shot me with those arrows."
