Heroes of Central City

Revenge of the Rogues 2

Blue Arrow Cave

Dakota was in the back training with Nyssa, Ra's Al Guhl's daughter.

"You're fighting angry." Nyssa pointed out. "That's dangerous."

"I have to take down this guy with a cold gun which can freeze things at absolute zero and my boyfriend believes I can't do it." Dakota grumbled.

"He's trying to protect you." Nyssa replied.

"Can I ask you something?" Dakota lowered her sword.

Nyssa sheathed her sword, "Go ahead."

"What happened to Oliver? He called me saying he was going after Ra's." Dakota placed hers on the table.

Nyssa stiffened up, "He's...dead...I'm sorry..."

Dakota took a step in shock, "My uncle is crazy."

"He's MY father." Nyssa rebutted. "It's  a custom. You have the mark. You're one of us now. Deal with it."

"I don't give a damn if I have the mark!" Dakota shouted. "I will NEVER be one of you! I won't kill for your father! He killed my BEST FRIEND! He showed up after fourteen years! In fact he never came in my life until a few months ago!"

"Dakota...." Nyssa murmured.

"I don't have a family! I have a lunatic uncle and a boyfriend who loves me so so much! So please don't ruin this anymore." Dakota snapped.

Airport

Dakota was on the roof watching the couple climb off the plane.

"Careful with that." The husband ordered.

Snart stepped from the shadows, "SOMEBODY CALL 911!"

Dakota jumped from the roof and aimed one of Cisco's arrows at Snart's gun.

"SNART!" Joe yelled with cops swarming behind him.

Snart fired his gun but the shields deflected it and Dakota rolled out of the way.

"Mick!" Snart yelled.

Another man came from behind the plane and fired a hand held flamethrower. Dakota ducked behind a car but slowly raised her head so she could see the gun. She aimed it at the flamethrower instead and fired. Just as she did two bullets hit the gun as well. Mick and Smart grabbed the painting and left while they could.

Precinct

Barry stepped off the elevator to see cops with ash on their faces and injuries mostly on their lower body.

"What happened?" He asked coming to a stop in front of Joe.

"Snart's new partner had some kind of hand held flamethrower." Joe murmured. "Most were treated on the scene, two are in the burn unit."

"What about Dakota?! Is she okay?!" Barry whispered.

"She's upstairs." Joe glanced at the staircase.

Barry rushed up the stairs and into the lab, "Hey."

Dakota was wrapping gauze around her wrist, "Hey."

"Are you alright?" Barry asked stepping closer to her desk.

"Fire nicked my wrist a little but otherwise I'm okay." Dakota still wasn't looking at him. "Still think it's too dangerous?"

Barry turned so he was facing her, "Maybe a little but that won't stop you."

Dakota cut the gaze and taped it on, "Damn right." She stood up. "I gotta go. Got some criminals to catch."

Dakota left the lab and headed to her cave.

Time Skip

Dakota was pulling up to the parking lot behind Jitters. She took off her helmet and looked at the crime scene.

She ran under the tape, "I got here as fast as I could."

"What happened?" Barry demanded coming under the tape.

"Snart got her last night." Joe replied.

"Damn." Kota cursed and ran to her bike.

Precinct

Dakota was on the main floor with Barry and Joe.

"Attention Central City." Snart came onto the TV. "The red streak running around town. The one they call the Flash. He's real."

Barry's face hardened.

"Porter and Main. Sun down. Be there or she dies." Snart pulled away from the camera and let Caitlyn come into view.

"No! Not for me! Stay away!" Caitlyn yelled as Mick pulled her away.

The TV cut back to the news.
