Episode 32 - Flash Fanfiction - Dracula

Chapter 4

The Flash and Vibe were currently dealing with a group of meta-human vampires that they had caught attacking a random couple. Fortunately, the Flash had made it just in time and got the couple to safety.

"I wonder if the girls are this lucky!" Vibe called out as he shot a vibrational blast at one of the vampires.
"Lucky? Is that what you're calling it?" the Flash answered, as he cuffed the man that he had been dealing with.

"What other word fits? they're vampires? We can join the ranks of Van Helsing!" Vibe called back.

"I think we actually need to kill them to join his ranks..." Flash replied.

"Damn! I don't think I'm ready to do that just yet... Let's just lock these guys in the pipeline with the other one." Cisco said, creating a breach and pushing the vampire through. Barry pushed his foe through the breach and Cisco closed it again.

"That was actually fun!" The Flash said with a grin.

"Yeah, it was... It'll be better when we meet Dracula though... Do you think he really speaks with that accent? Because, that would be pretty awesome... Something to tell the grandkids!"

Barry shrugged and then ran the perimeter of the city. "Let's get back to STAR Labs. I just searched the rest of the streets... no vampires left."

The two of them returned back to the cortex and ran a search for Caitlin and Astrid's phone trackers throughout the city. "They're still in the graveyard." Cisco said.

"They're probably gossiping or something. You know what they're like." Barry replied, "You were pretty hesitant about going there today. How are you dealing with Harry's death?"

"I'm dealin'... It's only been a week... so, just let me deal. Ok?" there was a slight bitterness to Cisco's tone, asking for Barry to drop the conversation.

"Sure. But if you need to chat..."

"If I need to chat... my fian... my girlfrie... Astrid is a psychologist."

"Fiancé? Mazel tov... that's actually the second time I've said that today. So, when did that happen?"

"Thanks, man. The night we fought the Cadre, actually... She proposed to me. Does that make me the woman?"

"No, I don't think it does. Astrid's just... well... she's Astrid!"

"Yeah... she is! So where are you and Caitlin at? Are we talkin' double wedding or..." Cisco asked him.

"Double wedding? I think it's a little too early to tell."

"Coming from the fastest man alive? that's funny! I'll call Astrid to see how they're going." He replied picking up his phone and calling. His phone rang out.

Noting Cisco's confused expression, Barry tried to call Caitlin, but had the same reaction. Both the girl's phones were ringing out.

"They might need help. Let's go!" Barry said.

Count Rominoff, paced in front of Astrid, Caitlin and their newest recruit; Iris West. All of which were entirely under his compulsion, in his candlelit lair. "I told you all, that I have a special task for each of you. The three of you have the beauty that could cause a man to suffer into madness and torment. I am offering you a gift of immortal life, provided you act as my brides and you all do as I ask."

He stood before Iris and smiled a devilish smile at her.

"Do you accept?" he asked her.

"I do." She said with a grin that lit up her face, remarkably.

He asked the same of Caitlin, who also agreed to his request.

And he ended with Astrid. "Do you accept?" Once again she could not break free from his compulsion. "Yes, I do." She said with a smile. That same smile that mirrored that of her friends.

"The night is young. Let's begin." He said with a sly tone.

Astrid turned to Caitlin and cupped her head in her hand, just as Caitlin stroked Astrid's hair from her face. The two leant forward and kissed each other gently. Iris stepped up towards them, embracing them both, which they both welcomed.
