Episode 35 - Flash Fanfiction - Game On!

Chapter 9

Harry sat in his office, when just as he had expected, Paco breached in there.

"Something tells me you didn't come here to whine about your defeat. You have something else up your sleeve, don't you?" Harry asked him, Paco had just closed the door so the two could speak in privacy.

"That would be correct. Because, I still have an ace up my sleeve, and I know that with the technology that my father applied to this office, that no one can overhear our conversation."

"You compelled them all to forget you. Iris, Joe and most likely CCPD too, didn't you? I can't imagine how hard that must have been."

Paco nodded, "By the time they come to, it will be like today never happened... My powers are far stronger than my father's I don't think even he will be able to vibe this one... Which gives me the opportunity to ask a favor of you."

"A favor? What are you asking of me, Ramon... junior?" Harry asked him, confused as to how to address the man.

Paco let out a small laugh at the nickname, but continued, nonetheless "There is a vial of serum in your vault. You need to give it to Wally."

"You need me to turn him into Kid Flash, don't you?"

"I do... But while that's not the way he was supposed to get his powers... We need him to be faster than Barry. We need him to stop Barry. That vial contains the speed of so many different speedsters... it's our final hope to stop the Flash."

"Why? What will Barry do?"

"I can't answer that... but if you love this team as much as I think you do... you will stop at nothing to keep them safe... Even if the one thing that needs to be done, is the one thing that will break their trust in you." Paco said lowering his head to the floor.

"Are you sure that the answer lies with Wally?" Dr Wells asked him, studying every one of his characteristics.

Paco pursed his lips together and nodded. "I could have killed him myself... but they're right! I can't stop him. But Wally can. Provided he is fast enough."

"You asking this of me, must mean that the speed force is running through his blood."

"Yes, it is! When he drank that vaccine, it did cure him... but there are still traces of the speed serum cells running through his veins. He still has the speed force within him... If he drinks that serum... the Kid Flash will be the fastest man alive... and after what Barry does to all those around him... We're desperate."

"...And how do you suppose I carry this out?"

"For the smartest man that I have ever had the pleasure in knowing... I'm sure that you'll think of something..." Paco smiled at Harry and breached back to his own time, in hope that he had changed the future for the good.

Harry, on the other hand, walked over to the picture on his wall. He requested that Gideon open the vault, from which he pulled out the speed serum.

He pocketed the speed serum, as he could hear the group arriving into the cortex in high spirits. "Hey what the hell happened to my DeLorean model?" Cisco whined, clearly having forgotten the entire day.

Harry walked out into the cortex to greet them. "Hey, Harry... did you see what happened to my model?" Cisco asked him.

"No, I didn't see what happened to your toy, Ramon..." Harry replied.

"How could you be so careless to call it a toy... that's just... that's just... not right!"

"So what took the lot of you so long to come into work today?" Harry asked them.

"We're all still exhausted from moving Cisco's stuff to Sutherland Mansion last night." Barry replied, "We all just woke up."

"I bet the lot of you were drinking... Why don't we all have dinner tonight... invite Joe, Iris, and Wally... Hell, I'll even cook!" Harry said.

Caitlin went up and checked Harry's temperature with the back of her hand. "Are you feeling okay, Harry?"

"I swear... we're gone for one day and he goes insane without us." Cisco joked.

"What the hell, family dinner at mine and Cisco's house tonight..." Astrid said. "But maybe we should go easy on the wine this time... we don't want to sleep through tomorrow too..."

"I'll call them now!" Barry replied.
