A New Dawn

Chapter 7: Betrayal

October 19th, 2033

Central City, Missouri

It has been almost a week since the attack on S.T.A.R. Labs and the formation of the Justice League. Uncle Cisco is off world right now upgrading our Satellite. We would have helped if we didn't have another problem to deal with.
"Today, we say our final goodbyes to a loving mother and grandmother"
"My mother wasn't the greatest during my childhood. It was only about thirteen years ago where she really became part of my life. Even though she wasn't the greatest we will greatly miss her"

Later that evening

Snow-Allen Residents, Central City, Missouri

We are eating dinner when we hear a knock on the door. Mom goes up and answers it and there's a man standing there with a folder in hand.
"Hello are you Caitlin Snow?" The man asked
"Yes I am. How can I help you?"
"Well with the passing of your mother the owner of Tannhauser Industries has became vacant. However, as your mother's last wish before her departure, she left you that position" The man hands mom the folder "Congratulations Mrs. Snow" The man walks away and mom closes the door.
"Do you know what this means Barry?" Mom asks
"You have to run two companies?"
"This means I'll have more resources to develop new technologies. I plan on merging Tannhauser Industries into S.T.A.R. Labs!"

Thomas' POV

Team Flash HQ, Central City, Missouri

"Thomas, this is all I could find on August" Ralph hands me an envelope with some documents within it. "You know Thomas. If you think August is Godspeed, you should tell the rest of the team or at least your sister"
"Goodnight Ralph"

The next day
Nora's POV

"Nora! Nora!" I faintly hear dad yelling. "Wake up Nora!"
"What?! Why are you waking me up Dad? It's 4:37 in the morning"
"Godspeed is attacking Mercury Labs" I wake up almost immediately. We speed out to Mercury Labs and see guards knocked unconscious. We speed inside the facility to see Godspeed trying to break into a meta-secured Vault door that leads to a containment of Dark Matter.
"We have to stop him before he is able to retrieve that Dark Matter" Godspeed turns around and just looks at us
"You won't be able to stop me" He says "I'm trying to save everyone"
"Save everyone? What about all those people that you have killed?" I yell back
"I'm done with that life. I've eliminated the last person I will kill"
"And who is that?" Dad asks
"Alchemy... my father"
"You killed your father?" I asked
"Yes, I did. He wanted me to kill some very close to me. If you're looking for his body try the coastline of the city. Now if that's it I need this Dark Matter" He finally opens the Vault door and we proceed to try and apprehend him
"I'm trying to save Central City. I thought you of all people would understand that"
"Not if the person in question is a murderer"
"I do understand that I should be punished for what I've done but right now I need that Dark Matter to prevent the destruction of the city!"
"Go. Take it" Dad says
"What?! You're just going to let him take it?" I yell
"Yes I am. This one time"
"Thank you Flash" Godspeed grabs the dark matter container and speeds out
"Why did you let him take the dark matter?!"
"I need to know what he is going to do with it. I'll go find him and trail him. You need to go and find Alchemy and confirm if he is telling the truth about him killing his own father" We both speed out and I head and search the coastline. I search not even for 10 minutes until I found what I was looking for.
"Oh my god! He wasn't lying" I say to myself while looking at Alchemy's body. I get on comms and try to contact Dad. "Dad! I found Alchemy"
"Good bring him to S.T.A.R. Labs for an analysis" I pick up Alchemy's body and run to S.T.A.R. Labs. I place him on an examination table when Mom and some scientists walk in.
"We'll send all the data we collect to the Flash" Mom informs me. I nod and run back home. I contemplate about getting some more sleep but it's already 6:30 and I start school at 8:20.

Later that day

Lampert High, Central City, Missouri

I arrive at the school and search the school for Francine. I couldn't find her inside the building so I check outside. I found her and Ruby making out.
"Hey you two" They quickly pull apart
"Oh... hey Nora" Francine said embarrassed "How long have you been here?"
"For you, a couple of seconds. For me, an eternity. One of the down falls of having super speed. So, you two?"
"Yeah it kinda just happened" Ruby said also quite embarrassed
"Anyways, my dad and I found had another run in with Godspeed. He was trying to steal some Dark Matter from Mercury Labs. He said he needed it to save Central City"
"It doesn't sound like that's it"
"He killed Alchemy. He killed his own father because he wanted him to kill someone close to him"
"Who do you think it is?" Francine asks
"Could it be his mother or a significant other?" Ruby suggests
"We don't know but my father has all of the Justice League in the general vicinity looking for him here in Central City and the surrounding areas"

Six hours later

"Nora. We are needed at Headquarters" Dante said. We all go out back and he opens a breach and we go through.
"What's going on?" I ask
"It's Godspeed we found him" Uncle Cisco replies
"Where is he?" Dad asks
"He at Fox Memorial Park"
"Why would he be at the park? It doesn't make any sense" I ask
"It makes perfect sense. It's one of the most centralized places in Central City"
"But why does he need to be in the middle of Central City"
"Let's go find out" We leave the HQ through a breach and exit in the park.
"Flash? What do you want?" Godspeed said
"To stop you from doing whatever it is that you are doing"
"This is want Central City needs. No meta humans. It's what the world needs"
"That's why you need the dark matter. To synthesize your own Meta-Human Cure"
"Yes I did need to to create my own cure but I am doing this for the greater good of Central City"
"We can't let you do this Godspeed" I said
"I don't want a fight, Impulse"
"Well if you don't shut down that machine, that's what you are going to get"
"I can't do that"
"Then let's end this" Dad, Thomas and I start to charge at him while he does the same. He knocks Thomas down but he was able to get some good hits in. We start running around Central City while Uncle Cisco and Mom try to disarm the meta-human cure. Godspeed was able to lose my father but I am still on his tail. We stop back at the park.
"I don't want to hurt you Impulse. I don't want to hurt anyone. Not after what I have done"
"You're gonna be going straight to Iron Heights after we are done here" We start to fight again until he hits me pretty hard knocking me out.

Godspeed's POV

I finally was able to defeat Impulse. I see her mask fall off when she hit the ground, exposing her face.
"Nora?" I ask very shocked to see my girlfriend in front of me "Oh my god Nora!"
I remove my mask and run to her.
"Nora! Nora! Wake up please"
"What the?" I hear the Flash say.

If Nora is Impulse that must mean that the Flash must be her father. The Flash is Barry Allen.

"August?! You're Godspeed?!" I here him yell.
"Mr. Allen I had no idea" I see Nora start to wake up.
"Nora are you okay?" I ask

Nora's POV

I reawaken to see August asking me if I'm okay.
"Yeah just a bit fuzzy. Where are we?" I ask still unable to open my eyes.
"Fox Memorial Park" Once he spoke I remembered what happened. I quickly open my eyes and try to get away from August.
"August how could you?"
"Nora I had no idea that you were Impluse"
"I will give you one chance. Leave now. Leave Central City permanently"
"Nora..."
"Now!" He speeds off leaving Central City. I could handle what just happened and just collapsed again, blacking out.
