The Flash: Story of Plasma Kat

Chapter 24: Crossing Beams With Heat Wave!

[Later]

Marianne struggles against her bindings. She narrows her eyes as she looks over at Snart and his partner, Mick Rory.

"You hurt her and I'll claw your eyes out." Marianne says.

"I'm not going to hurt either one of you." Snart says.

"I want to burn them alive watch them scream." Mick says.

"Mick, we aren't going to kill them." Snart says.

"Why not? I want to see them burn." Mick says.

"If you kill us you won't survive Flash's rage." Caitlyn says, "And you'd have three deaths added to your sentence." Once she said it she gasped. Snart grabs Marianne's hair pulling her head back to look at him.

"Three? You mean the reason Plasma hasn't been active is because she's carrying?" Snart says laughing.

"You sicken me." She says hissing.

"I think we have our leverage for the Flash." Snart says and Mick smiles.

Barry takes a deep breath as he stares at the treadmill. He wondered just what was taking Marianne and Caitlyn so long. He looks over when he hears Harrison speak.

"I hope we're not enemies." Harrison says.

"What? No, of course not." Barry says.

"I thought you might blame me for pushing you to pursue your training rather than help the police." Harrison says.

"Look, I'm an adult. I make my own choices, my own mistakes. And I'm glad you push me to be better. It's so weird. There was a time in my life that I would've paid money for your autograph. And now we're..." Barry says.

"Partners." Harrison says.

"I was gonna say friends." Barry says.

"In case you doubt it, you push me to be better too." Harrison says.

"Guys, you have to come look at this." Cisco says and leads the two into the other room, "When the heat gun was fired, it increased the surrounding temperature of the air dramatically, sort of like an extreme heat wave. Heat Wave."

"Stop doing that." Harrison says.

"Okay. I measured the temperature output of both the cold and heat guns, right? And while the cold gun achieves absolute zero, the heat gun successfully reaches absolute hot, or the hottest temperature an object can reach." Cisco explains.

"Planck Temperature." Barry says.

"So potentially, these two guns could cancel each other out." Harrison asks.

"Yeah, but to do that, you'd have to make them cross streams." Cisco explains.

"You mean like Ghostbusters?" Barry asks.

"That film is surprisingly scientifically accurate." Cisco says.

"And really quite funny." Harrison says and Barry's phone vibrates and he grabs it thinking that it's Marianne. He sees that it's Joe and he answers it anyway.

"Hey, Joe, what's up?" Barry asks and his smile fades as his eyes widen. Barry rushes out of the room leaving Harrison and Cisco confused.
