Episode 10 The Flash Fanfic

Chapter 3

"Woah woah woah! Let me get this straight... You're the Flash?" Reyes asked, once they had gone somewhere private to come up with a plan. He sounded as if he were meeting an iconic celebrity. The building that they had escaped to was dark. Electricity had not yet returned back to the city.

"Erm... what makes you say that?" Barry asked him. He had only just met the guy.

"Oh, when your friend Cisco told me he knew the Flash, he never thought you would be able to find him. But here you are. Have you learnt how to travel through alternate dimensions yet?" Reyes asked.

"No... actually we were brought here by a guy who looks a hell of a lot like him... like Cisco, I mean." Barry replied.

"Francisco Ramon? I would imagine." Reyes replied, there was a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"You know the guy?" Astrid asked.
"I did, actually. Paco was my best friend, until he turned on us. To work for that low life Eobard Thawne to bring down The Flash, who is standing right here."

"I never said that I was the Flash." Barry chimed in.
"Ok, we will leave it at that. I understand secrets. But we need to trust each other if we intend on saving your friend and our girl Gypsy." Reyes told them. The phone in his pocket rang and so he put the caller, immediately on loud speaker.

"Reyes! I haven't been able to locate Cisco or Gypsy. I think they have been kidnapped." Felicity's voice was heard by all three of them.
"Felicity Smoake?" Astrid and Barry both asked in unison.

"Who's that?" she asked, alarmed.

"Felicity, it's ok. This is Barry and Astrid. They are friends of Cisco's and they are here to help us rescue them." Reyes reassured her.
"Ok. So, you guys what's the plan?" she asked them.

Astrid and Reyes both looked at Barry, who looked as if he had thought one up.
"Felicity? How are your hacking skills?" he asked her.
"I am quite possibly the world's best hacker... if I do say so myself... I am just waiting for my award... Which I am quite disappointed hasn't come yet... but then again no one can find me... haha, you guys, it was joke and probably not a very funny one!" they could hear the laughter in Felicity's voice, which made them both chuckle.

"I hope she is like that in every dimension." Astrid said with a laugh.
Barry went on with his plan. "Well. Chances are STAR Labs will be currently working with a generator. We need you to hack into the STAR Lab systems and find out where they are keeping them. Astrid, will you and Reyes be able to sneak through the facility to find where they are being kept?" Barry asked.

"Sounds good, Bar. We'll find a couple lab coats as I would prefer not to have to fight." Astrid replied.
"Don't worry, I'll look after you." Reyes said trying to comfort her.

Barry and Astrid cracked up laughing. They couldn't contain themselves, which had Reyes and Felicity confused.

"What's so funny?" Reyes asked.
"Astrid was worried about you. She can take care of herself." Barry explained.
"Worried about me?" Reyes asked, "What can she do?"
"In all truth. I could blow your mind..." Astrid said vaguely, "and not in the way you're hoping." Reyes was all the more confused.

"Don't worry." Barry told him. "While the two of you find them. I will look for this Wells guy. It shouldn't take too long."

"Because you're the Flash, right?" Reyes really wanted his question answered.
"Let's just get to work." Astrid chimed in. "We will talk about who is who once everyone is safe. I'm pretty certain that Wells shot at your friend Gypsy. Cisco only knows basic wound management so chances are things could be getting pretty dicey if the guy hit an artery."

Astrid and Reyes made it to STAR Labs which sure enough had all its power restored thanks to the generator systems. Thankfully, Felicity was able to blur out each camera to the rooms that the two of them entered. They found a set of lab coats and put them on. But they both lacked identification to pass through the security doors.

Astrid spotted a couple of employees and approached them with Reyes beside her. She wasn't too keen on demonstrating her power in front of him, but she knew that she could mind wipe him later if she needed to.

"Hi," she said to the employees, "I need the two of you to give my friend and I your identification badges, please." She spoke sternly. Reyes stifled back a laugh, he swore that the girl was crazy. Why the hell would these two give up their pass cards for the two of them to get past security? Surely their plans were ruined. But to his bewilderment they did so, without hesitation.

Astrid handed him one of the badges and fixed the other to her lab coat. "You can now go home early. Have a good sleep. Good night!" she told the employees and they listened obediently and left.

"How the hell did you do that?" he asked her, under his breath so no one would hear.
"I told you that I would blow your mind. She checked the blueprints map that was displayed on the phone. "Come on. They're this way." She told him as she left in the direction up ahead.

Barry scanned the facility looking for Dr Wells. He couldn't find him anywhere. It was as if the guy had just vanished. He received a messaged, from Felicity, on the phone that he had been given. His actual phone did not have proper service in this world.

Cisco and Gypsy were being held in the STAR Labs pipeline. It was a forwarded message that he was sure that Astrid and Reyes had also received.

This STAR Labs was built considerably different to the one back home. But there seemed to be just as many employees. He had to be careful not to be noticed.

He remembered the Particle accelerator. It seemed fitting that the man would be there. So he went in search for it. Alas, he found it... and standing at the console before it, was the man he was looking for. But before he could be noticed, he put on a lab coat and entered the room as a regular employee would. He wanted to be as inconspicuous as possible.

Reyes and Astrid entered the pipeline, where they were certain, as per Felicity's message, that they would find their friends. What they didn't expect however, was the sight that they found when they arrived.

The two of them were sitting with their backs to the glass... they were kissing.
Astrid immediately found a console and angrily unlocked the glass, making the two of them fall backwards. Cisco pushed Gypsy away as an instant reaction when he saw just who had saved them.
"Astrid! It's not what it looks like! How did you get here?" he asked her.
Both she and Reyes were both clearly put off by what they had just witnessed.

"Look. Let's just get the two of you out of here! Barry's looking for that Wells guy." She said, trying to keep her annoyance under wraps.

"Barry's found Wells at the particle accelerator." Reyes said, irritably. "I just received an update from Felicity."

Gypsy who had been quiet all this time seemed a little embarrassed. There was clearly something going on with Cisco and Astrid. But he had not said anything to her, earlier.

The four of them left to find Barry.
