I know it's cheesy but I had to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For about thirty seconds nobody moved. We all just stared at the place that formerly held a very creepy looking Barry Allen. Then "...Was that supposed to happen?"

CIsco jumped to his feet, completely ignored me, and help Caitllen up. They seemed to be conversing silently. Then they both ran to the van; Caitllen in the driver's seat, and Cisco in the back. I jumped to my feet, and ran to the back of the van with Cisco.

Cisco had a headset on, the kind Val wore when she played videogames or had a video chat, and was talking into it. "Joe, Joe! We got a problem." He was practically screaming into the head set," Barry...Grodd...speedy-child-metahuman. Get to S.T.A.R. Labs. We're gonna need help.

"I do not approve of that name, Just for the record."

"Not now Wally" He started typing like a mad man on the keyboard, so fast and hard that I was surprised that it didn't break. "Yeah, Yeah, I'm still here Joe." pause,"Okay, bye." He pressed some buttons on his headset, then some keys on the keyboard, then," Caitllen, you there? Yeah, take off!" Immediently, the van learched forward causing me to fall on my but. "For real?! What is she doing up there?"

"Either crashing, trying to hit a meta-human, or both."  Cisco said, somehow mixing both sarcasm with worry into his voice. I could tell he was pretty worried about Barry, even if I had no idea what's going on. My thoughts were interupted by an angry, "Oh, Darn it!"

"What? What?!" 

"Police scanner is picking up a bank robbery by a man who runs with lightning. Grodd's been busy."

"But do we have a way to stop Barry-" another inturuption. Yay, me right.

"Aww! Arrow is robbing the bank too?!?!" He started talking into the headset again,"Caitllen? We need to go to S.T.A.R. Labs. Drive like meta-humans are speed bumps!" At that moment the already moving van lurched forward perpeling me into the other side of the van head first. I have got to stop hitting my head.

"Cisco, I thought you said that Barry and Robin Hood were robbing a bank! Why are we going to S.T.A.R. Labs?"

"What would we do if we did go to the bank to combat a meta-human and a really strong...artury...dude, Okay he doesn't have a title, while their being controlled by a meta-gorilla!!!" He was screaming by the time he got to the end.

At this point I was mad. I had seen these two really cool people do things that no normal person could do, and now they were just giving up? Well, someone had to do something, and if they wouldn't I would. On a seconds decision, I jumped out of the van. 

As I landed on the asfalt, I looked up to see the van swerving back and forth and in that moment I decided that I would never let Caitllen drive me anywhere. I got to my feet-a little shaky. Hey, this was my first car jump. I looked around to see where I was. Right in front of Ken's Deli- three blocks from the bank. I pulled down my goggles and started to run. This was, what, the fifth time I had run that night? 

Next thing I knew I was at the bank. It wasn't the only bank in Central City, but it was the biggest. I didn't think the two vigilantes would rob a lower class bank. I took all my courage and pushed inside the bank, it was too late to turn back now.
