Destiny

Forty six

"I know we established that August is just a psychopath," Cisco continued his thought, "but every psychopath has a past?"

"What do you mean?" Julian asked.

"I mean, August... Godspeed has to have some reason he's so messed up and obsessive over having a super baby. And we know he's been living this double evil psycho life since not a lot of the public has heard of Godspeed yet. So that means August has to have some family and record of his past besides his dead brother, which is already kind of suspicious anyways. We learn more about August Heart, we learn more about Godspeed," Cisco said.

"Well that's a great idea and all, but we've already tried to look ingo the records," Barry replied, "Any files on Jorge's death are either flat or locked up."

"This, my friends... is the making of a stakeout!" Cisco exclaimed.

...................................

"You sure he won't see us?" Barry asked Cisco as he was handed a syringe full of his newest invention.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I had Caitlin and Harry check it and everything," Cisco replied.

"What is it?" Charlie asked

"It's something I brewed up that will turn us invisible for approximately three hours, just enough to learn more about August. I got the idea from our invisible meta from a couple weeks ago. His saliva is packed with dark matter residue that when injected into your body, turns you transparent."

"Uck... I didn't want to here that last part," Julian commented.

"You sure Cisco?" Barry asked again, "I mean you're not exactly the biological expert at Star Labs at least..."

"Ight, fine. I'll take no offense to that this time," Cisco respond. "If you don't believe me look," he said injecting the serum into his neck. With in a few seconds Cisco disappeared.

"See told you," Cisco remarked.

"Okay then," Barry said injecting the serum. "Cisco, Julian, and I will go spy on August. Charlie you're on comms."

Before Charlie could make a comment, the invisable trio picked up their gear, which made it look like the bags were floating, and left. Cisco and Julian sensed the akwardness that just occurred but Barry rushed out before anything else could be said.

..................................

"K, August should be getting out of work just about.... now," Julian said as the three peered around the Star Labs van, parked just far enough from CCPD.

"Alright lets go," Barry called them behind him as they began following August.

Despite being a speedster, he was a slow walker. His first stop was at Jitters which wasn't all that interesting, only they had learned he was a decaf drinker. After a two hours, the serum only had one more left. They continued to follow him around the block to a playground.

"Well this isn't creepy at all," Cisco whispered on the fact about a grown man going to a playground.

"I feel like doing this in the first place was already creepy," Julian replied.

"Look," Barry pointed out the them, "he keeps looking at that one little girl."

"Who's that woman walking up to him?" Cisco added.

..................................

"What are you doing here?!" Emilia yelled, silently so she wouldn't disturb the other children and parents in the park. "I told you never to talk to us again."

"I wasn't the one who started the talking," August snarked back.

"Why are you here?!" She asked.

"I just want to see my niece," August replied. "I am her uncle!"

"You lost the right to be her uncle when you killed her father!" She yelled in a whisper. "And when you-" she began slowly starting to raise her volume before August cut her off.

"Be careful..." He said "remember without Jorge, I could just call ICE on over to your home."

"You do that I'll tell authorities everything about that night I found out. They'd never let you have custody of Rosaria. Nor would she want that, she's terrified of you now.

August grunted in anger raising his hand flat, pointing it towards the center of her chest but pulling it away. "I guess both of us won't be happy anyway it went."

"Only this way, Rosaria still has one parent alive in this country...," Emilia looked at August with disgust. "I don't get you... you breathed violence when it came to slaughtering your mother and brother. Yet with Rosaria..."

"She is apart of our next generation, a new dawn. Any thing we do will be remembered and carried out by them. They are our legacy..."

............................................

"You sure you can sponsor my citizenship," Emilia said disbelieving as she was sat down in her own home by three random men.

After they had reappeared, the three rushed to the Star Labs van and used facial recognition to ID the woman August spoke to. Emilia Gomez-Heart, widow, single mother of one, hard to track since with her husband dead her citizenship's end was impending.

She had just finished telling them what had happened in the park, what she knew about August, his relationship with Jorge, and anything she could think of in order to get him out her life.

"Yes, we promise ma'am," Barry replied, "but just one more question. Do you know anything about August ever wanting a family or kids, besides Rosaria?"

"I mean, besides his psychopathicness... he oddly had a small family orientated side to him, as twisted as he is. His mother was a immigrant too, and he and his brother never knew who their father was. The idea of family legacy was very important to them, and as the first generation in the US, Jorge and August took it upon themselves to establish the good precedent. Well, Jorge did at least. And August... August is el diablo. For all I knew he wanted to take Rosaria from me to make her a metahuman or create some metahuman dystopia where he fear mongers over everyone Or something. Or both."

"Thank you," Barry replied, a bit nerved, before they left back to Star Labs.
