Time After Time ϟ Barry Allen [2]

7- Evil Doppelgangers Of Earth-X (pt. 2)

I teleport in and grab a falling worker from the iron structure. Barry stops on a beam above, and looks down at me.
"Really? I said you didn't need me on this?" I ask, letting go of the guy.
"I'm sorry, I actually do," Barry apologizes.
"Next time, you should--" I get cut off by a bright red bolt of lightning. I tumble quite a ways, and prop myself up. "--you have got to be kidding me. Reverse Flash is alive?"
"I am, but you won't be," Reverse Flash/Eobard Thawne 's hand begins to vibrate. The killing move.
Barry slams into him, "Electrical Strike isn't for you to harm."
"Not yet. I have better things to do," the evil speedster replies. Then he's off.

Barry helps me to my feet. I look over where the crazy yellow suited villain fled. "Don't worry. I'll make him pay." My arms have energy visibly rippling along them. The Flash grips my wrist, and shakes his head.
"Sky, you aren't going to face him. If I lost you..."
"Barry, I love you. But you have got to let me kick the crap out of bad people every once and awhile."
Barry looks deep into my eyes for a moment. "I--"
"C'mon, you two," Oliver puts an arrow in his quiver. "You can worry about each other later. We have doppelgangers to beat."
I cover my mouth to muffle a laugh, "okay, Green Turtle."
Oliver frowns at me, "I can see you trying to hold yourself together. I am not that slow. You can teleport, don't forget."

Pulling on my mask for the third time today, I look in the mirror. A half Asian half white, brown haired, brown eyed, black and pale blued suited superhero stares back at me. I secure my fingerless gloves and walk out to meet my fellow heroes. It is time to storm the Nazi castle.
The Legends, Supergirl, The Flash, Green Arrow, and Electrical Strike are teaming up once more.

I teleport to the roof of a building. Flash comes to my side and nods to me. Arrow drops down to my other side, "they're here somewhere."
My hands ball into fists, "are we killing?"
Barry gives me a startled glance. Oliver shakes his head, "I am. You can if you want. We may be at war."
I look down at my hands, "people die in wars. I've seen mine." I bring my gaze up to Barry. The expression on his face shows what I know, there are still things he does not know about me. I have not killed anyone before. He knows that. But this job means that even the best of us can drift away from our lighted paths. I know, because I have seen people do that before. "But may the good side of us shine through, and help us defeat the darkness."
"Where did you hear that?" Barry finally asks.
"I learned it mostly, and someone once told me something like that... Shall we?" I teleport.

The next few minutes are filed with lots of punching, massive waves of energy, and many Nazis.
Barry races through the building, Kara flies and knocks Nazis around, Oliver fires arrows, Firestorm are torching the place and Sara and Alex are hard at work with their martial arts.
Electricity snaps and crackles in my palms. I wait as the enemy gather in numbers around me. Their guns are trained, but my party trick is only getting started. I teleport, and then drop from the ceiling in the same spot. All charged up, I release my power on impact. A huge shockwave sends everyone in range flying. The noise of Nazi bodies smacking into concrete with loud, singed thuds reaches my ears.
Then the sound of a pair of feet lands behind me cause me to turn automatically. Overgirl, Kara's evil doppelganger, begins her ray of heat-vision. I brace myself for getting burned, as my hand extends and absorbs her ability. Warmth channels through me, and its a miracle my heart does not fail from the energy I'm transmitting into electrical volts. Like a machine gun, I fire out the power I'm taking into a weapon against the attackers. More dark people drop.
Overgirl looks at me shocked, "I forgot how your powers worked. But now, I won't."
I stumble. I had not taken so much power like heat-vision, and my stamina had receded.
Overgirl smirks, "don't look so tough when you're tired, do you?" She questions in a baby voice. I narrow my eyes at her, and straighten up. "Come on, hit me."

Overgirl takes a swing, but I teleport out of her way. I grin, "I know you can do it. Just dig deep into that twisted soul of yours and hit me."
Overgirl growls angrily with her gasmask looking faceguard. She launches herself at me, but once again I dodge her. Her staggers and huffs at her not being able to catch me.
"You know, after you beat the crap out of everyone. It is great to see that you are not fast enough." Shortly after the words leave my lips, a fist comes in and clobbers me over the head. I look from my place on the floor up at Reverse Flash.
He chuckles harshly, "she might not be, but I am. Tell me this, Electrical Strike, are you fast enough to teleport away from death?"
No. His answer is no.

I flinch as my head pounds from being hit. I realize my mask is not longer there. My gaze flicks down to my belt, and it is attached. Then I glance up at the hostiles around me. Overgirl gives me a gloating look. I bet she'll be overjoyed to kill me.
I turn my head to see the others with their hands cuffed, and collars around their necks. Power-dampers. Professor Agony used those on me when he wanted torture from me and my friends.
"Wakey, wakey," Overgirl beams at my glare. "Nice to see you up and awake for your death day. Way better than a wedding day if you ask me." She walks up close to me and places a hand firmly on my throat, but she does not constrict. I'm guessing she wants to see fear in my eyes. She won't get to, I'll tell you that.
"Don't you dare think about snapping her neck," Barry tells her. Overgirl flicks her gaze over to the red speedster.
"Oh, don't you worry, Romeo. I'll make sure Juliet doesn't have her head broken off too soon," Overgirl smiles. "But Supergirl is first to go."
"You stay the hell away from my sister," Alex says aggressively.
"Ah," Overgirl lets go of me. "What's funny is my sister tried to kill me. But you both will be different. You'll both die, all of you, slowly and painfully."
"You won't get away with this," Oliver tells his evil doppelganger. "I'll kill you."
Evil Oliver chuckles, "no you won't. You're too soft."
"Don't tempt him," I warn.

Reverse Flash leans over from his platform above, so his head is looming over me. His blue eyes, once Harrison Wells of Earth-One's, gleam menacingly. "We're going to have so much fun with you. I just wish I could see you die, but I'll have other matters to attend to."
"You chose to die, heroes," evil Oliver tells us. Him and Overgirl walk away, and then Metalo steps in. First everything glows bright green, then it all goes black. I hate this part of the job.

I open my eyes, and gradually get to my feet. We are in a penned in area with prisoners all around in striped gray uniforms. There a soldiers marching outside. I can hear Jax say, "guys, I don't' think this is our Earth."
I squeeze my eyes shut again, "oh no, oh no," I mutter over and over again to myself. I do not want to be right.
"We're on Earth-X," Sara responds. My eyelids come open again. I am right.
"We have to find my sister," Alex says. Her voice is desperate.
"Don't worry, Alex. We will," I assure her, looking at the chain-linked fence. "As soon as we get past 'the gates of hell'."
