Absolute Zero

Chapter 7

I went home and was just relaxing when Barry called me frantically, before speeding into my apartment in his suit. He threw me mine.

"Joe's in trouble, quick." Was all he said and I rushed into the bathroom, changed, and as soon as I opened the door Barry grabbed me and we sped away.

~o~

Barry sped and grabbed the guns from the guys and told Joe to get out of here. There were three guys, well actually i guess one guys? Cloned? Joe refused so Barry quickly ran him outside. He came back and stood in front of the guys.

"Whoever you are, give yourselves up." Barry told him.

"Sorry. We're not going anywhere." One said.

"Until Simon Stagg is dead." All three of them said. 

Barry sped and knocked two of them the side, then the last one multiplied and there was three again.

"Yup, guess hoping triplets was too much." I said and Barry started fighting with them but the more they fought, the more the guy cloned himself. 

I started helping Barry but they managed to get him on the ground and beat at him before they threw him into stuff. I grabbed one guy's shoulder and started freezing it, causing him to scream out in pain. Suddenly two of them grabbed me from behind and I ended up just like Barry. Combat wasn't my strongest. Then three of them held guns towards us and Barry was quick to get us out of there.

When we got to S.T.A.R Labs Caitlin was quick to treat us and Dr. Wells was keeping track of our healing and our connection.

"Must be hard for Becca out there. Every injury you get she feels." Cisco said.

"I hardly felt some of them." I said and looked at Dr. Wells.

"It may be the serious injuries Barry receives." Dr. Wells suggested.

"You mean like a twin way of saying, "Hey sis I'm really hurt and need help?" Cisco asked.

"Exactly. You two are meant to work as a team. If your separated, this is how you know Barry needs help."

"Makes sense to me." I told him.

"I got my ass handed to me." Barry said.

"I did too Bar. It's not gonna be the last time I'm sure." I told him.

"You got blood on my suit." Cisco said looking over at us.

"Out apologies." I said and turned back to Barry.

"I think some of it belongs to him." Barry said. "Another not so friendly meta-human."

Dr. Wells was able to find him in the data base. Danton Black had some sort of cloning research that Stagg took from him.

"Wait guys. He can create clones of himself. Like how a cell works, he just creates a complete copy of himself." I said.

"That's pretty ironic." Cisco said. "The guy specializes in cloning and now he can make xeroxes of himself."

"If he was experimenting on himself when he was exposed to the dark matter wave, released by the particle accelerator explosion-"

"Meet Captain Clone." We all looked back at Cisco. Hopefully he could do better than that one. "Don't worry. I'll come up with something cooler." Then Barry started to leave.

"Where are you going?" I asked him and he turned around.

"Joe was right. I'm in way over my head. Yeah I'm fast, but I'm no warrior. We could barely fight one meta-human let alone six." Barry went to leave when Dr. Wells called him again.
