A New Dawn

Chapter 4: Snarts

April 7th, 2033

It has been around two weeks since I met my future self, well Alternate Future self. No Godspeed appearances it's just been us training at the HQ. Thomas has developed his powers but I have to make sure he does not get into trouble. Anyways today is just an ordinary day. Go to school, come back and do my homework. No training.

I was walking down the hall but was dragged into the girl's washroom.
"What the hell?" I yelled
"Quiet down Allen" Ruby said "I just want to talk"
"What do you want Snart? I'm going to be late for class"
"Oh, you're good. How do you pull off this ordinary teenager act?"
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"I know your Meta Allen. Same with Dibny, Ramon and Thawne"
"We're... we're not metas"
"I heard you four talking a couple of weeks ago behind the school about it"
"Fine, we're metas. What do you want?"
"I want to meet him"
"Who?"
"Your father. The Flash"
"How did you know that?"
"Well, since you're a Meta and definitely have some sort of speed-related powers"
"Wow, did not expect you to have actually some brain in that head of yours" She tries to punch me but I speed behind her and I put my arm around her neck.
"Don't ever try that again" I demanded. I let go of her neck and she drops to the floor coughing.
"After school. Meet me out back" I walk out quite pleased because she finally got what she deserves. It was a quiet day. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. I slowly told Francine, Thomas, Josh and Dante to meet me out back at the end of the day. It finally came time for me to meet Ruby behind the school so I grabbed my bag and started to make my way back there. While I was walking out I heard my name get called, it was August.
"Nora! Wait up!" He yelled. I stopped walking and turned back to see him rushing down the hall.
"Hey, August, what's up?" I asked
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out"
"Sorry, August I can't right now. I uh... need to head over to CCPD later and help my dad with something. I might be able to later though"
"Oh... ok"
"I'll give you shout later if I can" I yelled while rushing out. I felt kinda bad though. August doesn't really have any friends, well... other than Dante, Francine, Thomas, Josh and myself. I also kinda want to spend some time with him but this meeting is really important. I make my way around to the other side of the school to see and hear Josh and Ruby screaming at each other.
"There she is, finally. Maybe she can explain why you're here" Josh yells "Why the hell is she here?"
"She knows that we're metas" I explain
"What how?" Dante asked perplexed
"A couple of weeks ago she heard us talking back here"
"So what does she want?" Josh asked
"She wants in"
"And why should we let her?" Thomas exclaimed
"We shouldn't but, I've already contacted dad and he's allowed us to bring us to the HQ. Dante if you would"
"I think this is a bad idea" He says opening up a breach. We all enter it and exit in the HQ.
"Welcome Ruby" Dad greets us.
"You're... you're" Sputtered Ruby
"The Flash. That's correct" Dad says while removing his cowl "Or just Barry Allen"
"I knew it!" She yelled "I knew you were the Flash"
"And so did I" An unknown woman walks in.
"Mom?" Ruby asked perplexed
"Everyone this is Lisa Snart. Mother of Ruby over there"
"What are you doing here?" Ruby asked
"Well, Team Flash And I go back quite far so when they said you had discovered their secret, they brought me in"
"Ruby, we have talked and decided that it would be too dangerous for you to join the team" Dad informed her.
"What I thought we had a deal!? I keep your team junior a secret but I join the team" Ruby seemed quite mad. It actually seemed like she wanted to help. I had to help.
"Dad. I think we should let Ruby help"
"What?!" Everyone said including Ruby.
"I think she could help us defeat Godspeed" Dad proceeds to look at Lisa which she proceeds to nod.
"Okay, but she's your responsibility. Okay everyone we need to be ready for Godspeed. Cisco, can you, Caitlin, and Lisa find a way to track him"
"On it" Uncle Cisco leaves with Mom and Lisa.
"Nora can you fill in Ruby with what has been going on?"
"I can do that" We end up walking out of the training room.
"Thank you Nora for letting me be part of the team"
"You better not have been lying Ruby. So anyways, Godspeed. Currently he's at top of our 'most wanted' list. He is the fastest man alive. Faster than my father and myself."
About an hour later after I debriefed Ruby, we got a communication from Dad telling us to return, quickly.
I ran us back and asked what was wrong "What's going on?"
"Godspeed! He's attacking Jitters"
"Okay. Francine and Ruby. You too stay here on comms. The rest of us will go to Jitters" Dad yells
"How do we work the comms?" Francine asks. Uncle Cisco runs over and pushes a few buttons.
"It's online. You don't have to push any buttons and watch the tracker we have on Godspeed. Let us know his position if we lost him" Uncle Cisco opens a breach and we jump through. We ended up right in the middle of Jitters and saw Godspeed running around the place with people huddled in corners, and on the floor. He stopped dead in his tracks and raced towards us.
"Ah, Team Flash. How lovely of you to join me this evening" He taunted
"Godspeed. It's time to end this" Dad spoke
"Maybe it is time. But part of me believes that my image will be required for a bigger picture"
"That bigger picture will be your defeat"
"You fools. You have no idea what is coming. I have seen it"
"Okay that's enough. You're coming with us"
"No, I don't think I will" He charges towards us. Dad takes point and runs towards him. Godspeed over powers Dad though and throws him back. I flank him though and he falls onto the ground. Mom freezes him to the ground.
"Now to see who our God of Speed really is" Uncle Cisco says while walking towards him. Godspeed starts to faze through the floor and disappears.
"What the?" I say very confused
"Where did he go? Cisco where is he?" Dad asked not seeing what happened
"I don't know. He just fazed through the ground and ice. The sewers are probably below Jitters"
"Dammit we had him"
"Hey over there" I yell while pointing to drops of blood
"Blood? Maybe it's Godspeed's. If we take a sample we should be able to find he or his relatives if we have any matching samples" Mom says
"Do it" Mom grabs a sample and we return to the HQ.
"Hey what happened we lost contact with you when you left" Francine asked
"He must of distribution field around Jitters" Uncle Cisco said
"I'm going to get this to my lab" Mom says before leaving.

April 9th, 2033

It has been two days since the attack on Jitters and we have not gotten anything from the blood sample. As it was Saturday I was just chilling up on my computer playing an online game with August when I hear a knock on the door.

A/N: If anyone has any good names for this game that they are playing please suggest them. I will be using this game later on in the storyline. Just for some context it's an online FPS game that is set in 3033.

I was curious so I told him I'll be right back and went to the stair well. I saw Dad walk to the door and open it to a man wearing a black suit.
"Mr. Allan, I wish to talk may I come in?" He asked.
"Of course Bruce" The man enters the house and they sit on the couch.
"What happened to lying low until Luthor gets off your trail?"
"That's why I'm here. I thought we could be of use to each other"
"What do you have in mind?"
"We work together. To defeat Godspeed and Luthor"
"Okay. I guess we'll be working together again... Batman"
