Episode 27 - Flash Fanfiction - 16 Again

Chapter 8

As Captain Cold, Heatwave and Vibe fought their way through rooms, Cisco received a vibe telling him which room that Astrid was in. As he was distracted by the vision, he was struck by a strong gust of wind which was created by one of Amunet's soldiers. As he was knocked back to reality, he watched as Leonard knocked out the man who was responsible for the wind gust.

Snart approached Cisco and held out his hand for him to take, to help him up. But Cisco refused to take his hand, he got up on his own accord. He nodded at Leonard as if to say 'thank you' and then remembered the room that he had seen Astrid in. He bypassed both the men running through the hallway.

"Follow me, she's up here!" Cisco said, leading them through the hall way, taking anyone else down who stood in his way by blasts of vibrational energy.

Snart looked over at Rory, who shook his head at him. "He sees us as the bad guys, remember?" Mick gruffed, "Let's just get this over with!"

Cisco led them to an old locked door with the numbers 3215, where they could hear Astrid banging and calling out from the other side. "I guess, that we found her." Mick said.

"Hey, Astrid!" Cisco called out, "It's me Cisco, I need you to step away from the door. I'm going to bust the door open!"

"Cisco?" Astrid called out from the other side of the door. "Okay... I'm away from the door!"

Cisco shot a projectile energy blast at the door, which hit the door at such a force, opening it and almost knocking it off the hinges. He ran up and hugged her, happy to see her.

As he did, she began hitting at him. "How could you leave me! You could have breached me away! But you left me!"

"I'm so sorry, Astrid!" Cisco said apologetically.

Astrid broke away from him and gave Leonard a hug, "Thank you for sitting by me. I'm sorry about your super cool cold gun!" Leonard was thrown off guard by the hug, it wasn't something that he was used to. She let go of him and went to run out of the room.

"Princess, where are you going?" Mick asked her.

"To give that woman a taste of my mind!" Astrid said with such determination.

"I'd hate to disappoint you, but you're sitting this one out, kid!" Leonard said. "Your boyfriend is going to breach you home and stay there with you!" He nodded at Cisco to do so.

Cisco, who was still highly annoyed at being dissed for Snart, opened a breach.

"That's not fair!" Astrid said, with a pout.

"Take that up with him, we don't have time for this!" Snart said as he pushed Astrid back to Cisco. Cisco grabbed a hold of her and dragged her through the breach.

"Sara owes us big time for that babysitting job, let's go, Mick." Leonard said as he led his partner out.
"Right behind ya, Snart!" Mick said, noticing his friend's overcompensation at the affection that had just been given to him.

From Harry's position, he could see that Sara was bleeding out quickly. He was currently sitting under the table, with chairs as a shield. He had the barrel of his gun peering through a crack in the chair. He was currently looking through the scope.

The chairs were beginning to bend in. Amunet was preparing to crush him from inside his hideout. He just needed to get a good view of her. He understood that his friends would much rather that the woman didn't die, but sometimes one needed to be taken out of the game. He was willing to take that shot for the sake of his friends.

He set the control to deep freeze. He would shoot a solid ice bullet and make it count. He could hear the metal of the chairs being crushed from in front of him. He noticed a small enough gap to peer through, to the left of him.

He shifted the barrel to that position and peered through.

"It looks like that girl is bleeding out. You should go see to her." Amunet said, trying to provoke him out of his spot. Harry would not leave his spot until Amunet had been taken down, even if it meant that Sara would die.

"Oh look, it's that speedster!" Amunet said.
Harry prayed that she was just mocking him, until he heard Barry's voice. "Oh my god, Sara!" He saw the scarlet speedster pass through the scope.

Just as he saw Amunet pass and stand right in front. He pulled the trigger, just as he had heard the scream of Caitlin.

Harry had hit Caitlin with the bullet instead of Amunet.

"Caitlin!" Barry exclaimed.

"Woops!" Amunet said, mockingly. He could hear the moment that Amunet threw cutlery at the pair and he prayed that Barry had escaped with Sara and Caitlin in time.

Harry kept his eye on the scope and readied another ice bullet. This time he saw Amunet's face. Just as she saw the barrel. It was now or never. He took the shot, this time shooting Amunet down.

Harry ran from his hideout, Amunet had been taken down, there was blood where Caitlin and Sara had both been. As he looked at the entrance, Leonard and Mick were both standing there.

Barry arrived at that moment with a solemn look on his face. He looked at Amunet on the floor and ignored her. He took Harry, then Leonard and then Mick back to STAR Labs.
