Time After Time ϟ Barry Allen [2]

1- Keep Running

A/N: BASED OFF OF EPISODE ONE, SEASON FOUR.

"Okay Peekaboo, try to dodge this lightning bolt." My palms fill with blue energy.
"Sky, we tried that," Cisco/ Vibe says through my coms, as he opens another portal.
I roll my eyes, "I got this."
Kid Flash races up and down the buildings in a yellow blur, "you said that three times already."
"You boys need to chill out, I have been hunting down all sorts of crazies more than you."
Iris interrupts us, "stop arguing. Peekaboo jumps every three buildings, and that's how we stop her. Cisco, head to the one directly in front of you."

Cisco vibes to the building, "I hate teleporters," he mutters.
"Hey," I snap, looking up at the building he's at. My press the device close to my ear, "I can still send you static shocks through this thing."
"Sorry, I meant some teleporters. Keep your mask on."
Wally zips by, "okay, ready when you are."
"What do you want me to do?" I ask.
"Just stand there, we've got this," Cisco says. "Got her!"
I smirk, "oh, I have got to see this." I teleport to where they are.
Lucky for them, I got there before Peekaboo could shoot them with her pistols.

Sending out a quick jolt, Peekaboo falls flat. Cisco and Wally look up at me form the ground.
"That did not look you got that," I point out.
"Show off," Wally scoffs, but he's grinning.
"I now owe you five dollars," Cisco grumbles. "But you did save us from getting shot."
"Well, we got her," Joe says from behind, the CCPD is lined up in the background.

Iris beams at us, "great job guys."
I remove my mask, and grin. "A foursome is pretty useful."
"Yeah, Team Kid Flash," Wally says.
"Uh, no," I shake my head.
Wally furrows his eyebrows, "no?"
"Too many syllables," Cisco tells him.
Iris gives us a look, "we can't fool around."
"C'mon Iris, we gotta do something to heighten our spirits while we get punched in the face." I point out, playfully bumping her my elbow a little. Iris's lip twitches a bit, like she were about to smile, then she says, "you, of all people, should know what I'm talking about."

I frown. I feel like I know what she's talking about, but at the same time, I don't. My phone begins to ring. I take it out of my pocket, and sigh, "its Ms. Hart, my boss. I'll meet up with you guys later." I teleport and go off to my other work.

I teleport into Central City's street, by Birch Avenue and that huge tower that Ms. Hart had once called 'the soul sucker of all things modern' (whatever that meant). My eyes widen under my black mask, "whoa. That is one creepy but also cool samurai."
"If only we could speak Japanese," Cisco said. "Do you speak it?
"Don't look at me. I speak Spanish and little bits of other languages and can understand Italian. I'm only half Asian, but Japanese is not that."
"That isn't what I meant-- Wait, Wally can speak it?"
Wally is spewing out Japanese, though it turns out the samurai speaks English.

"Bring me The Flash," it rasps. I look at Kid Flash, and exchange a glance with Cisco.
"You're looking at him," Wally responds.
"No, the real Flash," the samurai insists, its sword at the ready.
Cisco seems to find humor in that, "look, you have a sword, and we have superpowers. What are you going to do with that?"
"Don't ask that," I hiss. "You're going to provoke him."
Then at that moment, the samurai stabs it blade into the asphalt, and a big shockwave blasts through the street.
I get thrown into the air, and teleport before I hit the ground.

The samurai leaps up into the sky, and flies away on a jetpack.
"You guys okay?" Iris asks through our coms.
I stare up at where the swordsman left, "we're fine. But our new best friend made quite an exit."

Back at STAR Labs, Vibe, Kid Flash, and I are out of our suits. Cisco is standing in front of the monitor with an up close shot of the samurai.
"If we don't give him The Flash, people are going to die," Cisco says. "We can't let that happen."
"I agree with you, but Barry isn't here. As much as I hate saying that," I mutter.
"Sky is right. Barry isn't here, and we have to move on," Iris states.
Cisco has that look in his eye that tells me he's got something to say.
"Oh no. Spill whatever you got on that brain of yours before it explodes," I tell him.
"I found a way to bring Barry back," he says. "And I've had help. From Harry, from Tina, from Tracy. It can work."
