Jaime sunk further into the couch. Bart had finally told his family about them. Iris had taken it well. In fact, she took it so well, Iris had to be shut out the room or she would have crushed Jaime in a hug.
So Bart took her out to the shops while Jaime, Wally and Barry were at home alone. This terrified Jaime; the death glares made Batman's seem like a lovely smile.
"You won't hurt him." Wally growled under his breath and Jaime rolled his eyes.
"I won't!" Jaime repeated for the 100th time in 30 minutes.
Actually, it was 32 times, Jaime Reyes. 32 times in 14 minutes.
Ugh. I give up on you.
"Jaime!" Barry snapped.
"Huh?" Jaime focused back on what the two speedsters were saying.
"Were you listening?" Barry now glared at Jaime.
"..." Jaime remained silent.
"I'll take that as a no." Wally replied while rolling his eyes.
"The scarab was talking to me." Jaime defended himself.
"While on the subject of the... scarab. How can we trust it?" Barry raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I-" Jaime began but was cut off by the News blasting out a news alert. The three of them turned to the telly, pausing their discussion.
On the screen was a lady sitting in the usual news office, in the usual news attire.
"We are terribly sorry for interrupting whatever you were watching. But we have some urgent news. Two strange new speedsters has emerged in Central City, holding people in the Central Mall hostage. Here is all we managed to get from the security footage." The screen then cut to people being forced to the floor by someone who had a similar suit to Bart, only it was green and there was a reverse one of Flash.
Both Wally and Barry gasped when they saw them, but Jaime gasped when he saw two familiar people in the corner, lying down on their stomachs.
"What is it, Jaime?" Wally asked, having gotten dressed into his KF suit.
Jaime picked up the remote and paused the TV.
"There in the corner." Jaime pointed out and the two speedsters came closer to the screen.
"Who are they?" Barry asked.
"Can't you see?" Jaime looked at the two, who shook their heads. It was Jaime's turn to roll his eyes, but he knew this wasn't the time.
"It's Iris and Bart."
Guess who's not dead. That's right! Batman! Oh, also me. Here's the chapter. And sorry for not updating in a while. School's a bitch.
