Night Flash (The Flash Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

I sat by the window while Caitlyn got the middle. It took ten hours to get to Mojave. When we got off the plane we got our luggage and I drove our rental car to my house. When we got there I saw Charles's truck. I went and knocked on the door. Barry and Caitlyn stood behind me. Mom opened it. "Tina!" She hugged me. "Don't you dare try to scare him away," she hissed in my ear. She let go.

I glared. "It's just like you to be in a dangerous relationship, Mother." I call her 'Mother' when I'm mad at her.

She shook her head. "Don't." Then she looked at the others. "Aren't you going to introduce your friends?"

I smirked. "I think I should do that in front of Charles, don't you?"

She glared and led the way to the kitchen. "Charles, this is Tina and her friends."

Charles turned from the fridge. "Hello, Tina."

"Now will you introduce your friends?" Mom asked politely.

I gave her a look that told her that I knew she was faking that niceness. "Barry Allan and Caitlyn Snow. Guys, this is my mother Irene and her fiancee Charles. Who was my English teacher in tenth grade."

"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Pole," Caitlyn said while Barry nodded in agreement.

Mom smiled. "It's nice to meet you too, Miss Snow and Mr, Allan."

I rolled my eyes. "I lead them to their rooms." I motioned for them to follow me. I led them to one. "The one next to this one is a guest room too."

"How long do you think it will take before Zoom finds out you're here?" Caitlyn asked.

I thought for a moment. "The next time Charles speaks to him."

Barry nodded. "Did your English teacher ever do anything suspicious when he was teaching you?"

I shook my head. "I'm not sure. His was the only class I didn't pay attention to much."

"Why?"

I snorted. "It was extremely boring." Then I frowned. "Huh, maybe there was something that was odd."

"What?"

"He had us read the exact same stories as we did in ninth grade. We even had that same tests. Maybe he was doing something because he never taught anything new."

Barry frowned. "Nothing?"

I nodded. "I only paid attention in my other classes because I was being taught new things."

Caitlyn frowned. "Maybe I could hack into Charles's computer. Does he still work at that school?"

I shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe I'll ask at dinner."

Barry nodded. "Yeah. Did you ever have crimes that seemed odd here?"

I nodded slowly. "Several. All of them were houses being completely frozen."

Caitlyn's eyes widened. "The whole house?"

"Yes." I pulled out my phone and looked one of the houses up. Then handed it to her. "See?" The image was a house that was painted yellow covered in blue ice.

"Wow," Caitlyn said. She scrolled. "That's a lot of houses."

"Yeah, and all the people who lived there were frozen to death."

"Do you think it could be Charles?" Barry asked.

"It's possible," I murmured.

"It is," Caitlyn agreed. "Did all these happen at night?" She handed my phone back.
