Baby Speedster - The Flash

Chapter 19

Third Person's POV

Barry was sat at home watching TV when his phone rang. The familiar voice of Cisco informed him, "Emergency at the morgue."

Barry stopped off at S.T.A.R. Labs to change into his Flash suit then raced towards the morgue. On the way, he saw something next to him. It was a silhouette of himself. The two of them looked at each other in surprise and Barry skidded to a halt. Panting, he looked at his surroundings. Everything seemed normal.

A woman nearby shouted, "Taxi! Taxi! Oh, come on, I'm gonna be late!"

Taking a breath, Barry carried on towards the morgue.

"What do you see?" asked Cisco.

Barry looked at the floor. "A dead body."

"Barry, you're in a morgue. You're gonna have to be a little more specific than that."

"The coroner, he's dead."

At the sound of an approaching car, Barry changed into his regular clothes just in time to greet Joe and Eddie.

"What's with all the water? Did the sprinkler system go off or something?" asked Joe, looking at the puddle on the floor.

"No, I checked all the sprinklers. They're all intact. But look at this." Barry pointed to something solid nearer to the coroner's body.

"What is that, ice?" asked Joe.

Barry nodded. "The coroner has multiple impact bruises on his torso, all the size of a tennis ball. Judging by the amount of ice and water on the ground, I'm guessing he was killed by hail.

"Hail? In here? Do you think this was Snart?"

"No, his cold-gun couldn't have done this."

Eddie came over to them. "Joe, we got something. The Coroner's office just installed an automated dictation system. Listen to this."

He pressed play and they all heard a crackly recording of a voice begging, "Please, no more."

"I'll stop when you tell me Stop. Who killed him? I want a name." This was a second voice, more ferocious.

"I know that voice. That's Mardon," said Joe.

"Clyde Mardon's dead," Eddie pointed out.

"It's not Clyde Mardon. It's his brother, Mark," said Barry.

The first voice on the recording spoke again. "It was Detective West. He shot him. Detective Joe West killed your brother."

"... He will pay for what he did," said Mark Mardon.

.....
Charlie's POV

"So Clyde Mardon had a brother? I do love a good plot twist!" I say looking over to my brother. I hadn't been to the morgue because Dr Wells didn't want me to, instead he had asked for my help upgrading the system we use to speak on the comms.

So here I was now, sat on the desk with me boot clad feet on one of the empty chairs. As my brother talks about how Clyde Mardon's brother was out for blood, or more specifically, Joe's.

"And both brothers survived the plane crash, and then the dark matter released from the particle accelerator explosion affects them both in virtually the same way," explained Dr Wells.

"Yeah, only Mark's powers seem to be a lot more precise," added Barry.

"To be able to control the weather like that, indoors? You'd have to be a Weather Wizard," said Cisco triumphantly. "Ooh, been waiting since week one to use that." He took a sip of his slushy then winced and clutched his forehead.
