Chapter 28 Speedsters Galore

I'm telling you. You can't look at that picture and not think Cisco has power over vibrations... powerful ones. That's why he's flinging things by accident if anyone has noticed that.

   Prongs apparently knew all of the same superheroes as me. She was officially an Avenger and one of the X-Men, knew Oliver quite well, she was our adopted sister, and was a half-blood. I knew exactly what that meant. I'd read the book series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, but hadn't thought it was a real thing.

   "Is there a six-hundredth floor?" Barry asked before I could.

   Prongs grinned. "I cannot confirm nor deny."

   "Drat. With you that could really mean one or the other," Barry said with a sigh.

   Prongs laughed. "Isn't it great?"

   Barry shook his head in exasperation. "She's always like this," he told me. "She's usually with Oliver in Starling City, but she comes around once in a while. She showed up a couple times while they were building the Particle Accelerator."

   I smiled at Prongs. "Well, another speedster is always nice. What's your superhero name?"

   "Cisco literally gave me one as soon as I got into the Cortex. Shooting Star."

   I shook my head. "Cisco comes up with all the names around here."

   "Except yours," Barry pointed out.

   "Right, except mine."

   Prongs held up a hand. "Skye, you wanted me to tell you where you'd seen me? Remember the aliens Loki let loose in the middle of New York?"

   I paused, thinking about that. I vaguely remembered seeing a silver streak around the Avengers Tower. "Oh yeah!"

   "I stopped by the lab afterward. I introduced myself as-"

   "Saila," I finished. "I remember that now."

   Prongs grinned and slid off the hood of the van. "Barry, your shift at the CCPD started ten minutes ago."

   Barry sighed and shot away. I guessed he wasn't very impressed about Prongs knowing his schedule.

   "So, Child of Hephaestus," I said. "What kinds of cool things have you created?"

   "I thought you'd never ask," Prongs said jokingly. "Cisco's looking at a couple of them."

   Prongs flipped a silver disk into the air and it started spinning extremely fast. "Shoot it Cisco!" she shouted.

   I grinned as a small shock-wave pulsed from Cisco's palm. When it connected with the disk, it exploded into tiny shards. Prongs and I both ducked to avoid getting hit.

   Prongs had changed out of her silver suit into a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt. Cisco had been working on making a symbol for Prongs, but had gotten just a little distracted by the technology Prongs kept making.

   Cisco laughed. "Okay, much as it's sad, I'm going to try focusing now."

   "Okay. I will try to not build anything to distract you with," Prongs said. She placed her hands in her lap and pointedly tried hard to not look at the scraps of metal on my desk.

   I smiled and turned to my computer. Barry likely wouldn't be back for another hour or so, so I had time to try doing some things. I went through all of the security cameras that were around S.T.A.R. Labs.

   "What are you doing?" Prongs whispered, putting her head on my shoulder. "I'm bored."

   "I'm trying to find something about Ronnie. I've been trying to see what the chances of him surviving are," I whispered back.

   "Oh. You're not looking for Robbie?"

    I turned my head and frowned at her. "Who?"

   "Really?" Prongs looked at me incredulously. "Robbie Baldwin, Speedball, one of the New Warriors. Not ringing any bells?"

   I shook my head. "Nope. I can't say I've heard of him."

   "I've been trying to find him. He's hilarious." Prongs took her head off my shoulder and walked over to Cisco. "Could I use a computer?"

   Cisco looked up. "Sure. You can use them all at the moment. I'm not using any of them."

   Prongs grinned broadly and sat down in the second desk chair next to Cisco. It didn't take long for them to start talking about different ways of building things and for them both to be thoroughly distracted.

   I smirked at the two of them and went back to my computer. Forty-five minutes. Plenty of time to look for something useful.
