What Brings Us Together (A Ralph Dibny/ The Flash Fan-Fiction)

Chapter Seven: I Knew He Was Our Meta

I didn't get far when a flash of lightening sped past me. I grabbed my phone, calling Iris.

"What just happened? Why did a speedster just run out the door?"

"There's an incident with a car. Barry's got it, don't worry about it."

"Cisco has my suit anyway. I was just wondering. Thanks Iris."

"No problem." I smiled kicking off of the ground and flying towards the Police Department. It's so refreshing not to have so much responsibility. I put my earpiece in as I landed on the roof of the Police Department and went through the skylight, landing in my desk chair.

"Barry, what's going on?" I asked.

"It's a runaway, guy's trapped inside, I'm gonna change his trajectory."

"Ok, then turn him left, there's a turn-off for runaway trucks coming up." Iris reported. "Just clear a path and the car will come to a safe stop there."

"No, No, no, I'm gonna push him right, that street's empty. I can help him there."

"Barry, I'd trust Iris. She's pretty good about these things." I told him, considering he's not used to working with Iris.

"Barry, you can't go down that road."

"What? Why?"

"Because they started construction on that street three months ago."

"Oh boy."

My shift ended and I headed back to STAR Labs to see the aftermath of Barry's mission. Wally, Caitlin, Barry, and Cisco were surrounding a table covered in car parts.

"Oh my gosh, what happened?!" I asked.

"The car was gonna hit a barrier so I took the car apart before it got there. The driver is fine." Barry assured me. "I'm sorry guys. This one is all on me." Iris came over.

"Ok, so my dad talked to the driver, Tim Kwon, he's fine. He's gonna question him and see if they can figure out who did this. Cisco? What do we got?"

"Beginning auto-topsy. Now." He said. I laughed. "I thought you'd appreciate that." He plugged it into the screen and we saw a familiar encryption.

"That is the same weird code from the elevator murder scene." Barry stated.

"But wait, doesn't that mean-"

"Our hacker's got a hit list." Iris concluded.

"Wa-Can you crack it?"

"Man, I've been trying to crack this code all day."

"It looks like a virus." Caitlin said.

"Well yeah, because it's a computer virus." Cisco chuckled.

"No, no, no, scooch." She bumped him with her hip, pushing his chair out of the way. 

"Ooh, I feel violated.' He said. She organized the code to look like a DNA strand.

"It looks like an organic virus."

"But with a digital sub-base."

"This has Metahuman written all over it." I pointed out.

"Is there any connection between the two victims?" Iris asked.

"There's nothing online. But their names, Weaver, Kwon, they sound very familiar to me. I started collecting these tech magazines in High School. They were like-"
