章 16: Time Rupture
Naruto continued to push himself to his limit, as he gave a shout of exertion before a large boom was heard and he stumbled forward while continuing his run, before he noticed his surroundings had changed, it was dark now and he was running through the city, before he looked to his side to see himself who faded out of existence, before he skidded to a stop, and panted slightly, before he looked around and once again saw the two dogs barking at each other, the same man spinning a street sign and the same woman dressed up for a special occasion
"Taxi! Taxi! Oh, come on, I'm gonna be late!" the woman screamed as Naruto looked around wide eyed
"Oh shit."
"Hey, what's going on?" Cisco voice said over the coms causing Naruto to jump "Dude? "
"Yeah, Cisco. I'm here." Naruto said wondering what in the hell was going on
"What happened? Why'd you stop?" Cisco asked
"I got a little disoriented." Naruto said helping the woman out again,
"Well, you need to make up some time, man. You better hurry up." Cisco said causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow
"For what?"
"What are you..Hurry, as in get to the morgue." Cisco said causing Naruto to blink in confusion
"The morgue? But I was there, yesterday." Naruto said
"What are you talking about? Come on, you gotta go." Cisco said causing Naruto to run off, and arrive at the morgue to see everything was exactly like it was the first time he was here, and shook his head in disbelief before he walked over to the dictation system and found the file which he played over
"What the hell is happening?" Naruto asked himself
S.T.A.R. Labs
Cisco got off the elevator with Caitlin both having a slushy in hand in mid conversation "And I really don't wanna go." Cisco said
"He's your brother, Cisco." Caitlin replied
"Not by choice." Cisco retorted
"Okay, well, how bad can a birthday party be?" Caitlin asked as they made there way to the cortex
"Um, my folks think Dante's stink don't stink. Doesn't matter how much he screws up, or how many times he gets into trouble. In their eyes, he can do no wrong. And yet, they never fail to remind me that I can do no right." Cisco said with a frown, as Caitlin looked thoughtful
"What if I came with you?" Caitlin asked standing in front of him
"What? Seriously?" Cisco asked
"Absolutely. You've done so much for me. Let me be there for you for a change. And I could look at old family photo albums and see what little Cisco looks like without long hair." Caitlin said smiling
"I'm rescinding your invite." Cisco said walking off with his friend following after him
Moments Later
Caitlin looked at the mugshots for the Mardon brothers and said to herself "Clyde Mardon has a brother." as she walked to her desk
"So, both Mardon brothers survived the plane crash and then the dark matter released by the Particle Accelerator explosion affects them both in,"
"Virtually the same way. Only Mark's not like Clyde at all. He can do things that you couldn't even imagine." Naruto said to himself as Wells looked at him in suspicion
"You mean he's sort of like a,"
"Weather wizard./Weather wizard?" Naruto, and Cisco said together as everyone looked at Naruto oddly
"Yeah." Cisco said before he sipped his slushy and groaned from brain freeze
"Trigeminal headache/Trigeminal headache?" Naruto, and Caitlin said together as Naruto looked troubled and ran a hand through his hair
"Fuck me." Naruto whispered
" . A word please." Wells said getting Naruto's attention
"Sure." Naruto said still looking troubled as the nature of his situation just settled in, which shouldn't be to surprising to him, since he's time traveled before back on his Earth
Moments Later
Naruto followed Wells into a room, and closed the door "You ruptured the time continuum, didn't you? You're experiencing temporal reversion." Wells said
"Yeah!" Naruto nodded
"How long?" Wells asked
"Uh, a day and some change. It's like I'm living it all over again." Naruto said
"Yeah, well that's good. That means there's not too much you could've messed up yet." Wells said causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow "How did this happen?"
"I was running faster than I've ever ran, to stop a tidal wave and," Naruto began but a panicked Wells waved his hands
"No. Do not tell me. I do not want to know anything about the future you experienced. Nothing! Time is an extremely fragile construct. Any deviation, no matter how small, could result in a cataclysm. Now here's what you're going to do. Everything you did before. Every word you uttered, every step you took, you're going to do again. And you're not going to tell anyone this happened." Wells said leaving before Naruto could say anything
"I'll think about it." Naruto said speeding away
CCPD
Naruto walked into the precinct looking for Joe, when he saw Singh standing in his office, cause his to see his friend being struck by lightning again, which caused him to frown, as Joe, and Eddie walked out
"What's going with you?" Joe asked
"I traveled through time." Naruto said
"What?" Joe asked surprise taking Naruto by his arm and leading him away just as Iris walked in and walked over to Eddie
"Yeah, I lived this day already. Mark had somehow got you, and lured Iris, and I to the water front and made a tsunami. I was running then next thing I know I'm back here." Naruto said bluntly before he frowned
"So you know where Mardon is hold up?" Joe asked
"Yeah, I'll be back." Naruto said walking off
Moments Later
Abandoned Apartment Complex
Naruto had immediately sped through the city, to the old Mardon hideout, and checked the abandoned apartments before he ran upstairs to see Mark on a mattress, looking at a news paper article on his brother, before the man jumped up to see him
"I didn't know there was anyone else like me." Mark said
"Funny, those were your brothers last words." Naruto replied causing Mark to glare before Naruto sped in and punched Mark in the jaw, sending him to the ground before he kick to the gut sent him flying back into a metal cabinet before Naruto grabbed him by his hair and dragged him out of the building
S.T.A.R. Labs
Caitlin, Cisco, and Wells stood behind Naruto after he just arrived and tossed Mark into the pipeline, and watched as Mark wiped his bloody nose and glared at Naruto "I'm gonna break out of here! I'm gonna create a tidal wave that destroys your entire city!"
"Shut up." Naruto said closing the pipeline and turning to Caitlin, and Cisco
"So, I don't understand. How did you find him?" Cisco asked
"I'll tell you later." Naruto said
"Well that's gotta be some kind of record." Caitlin smiled causing Naruto to return it as Cisco with a groan turned around and began walking away
"Yeah., there goes my excuse for bailing on my brother's birthday." Cisco said as Caitlin followed him out
Naruto made to follow when "Do you have any idea what you've just done?" Wells asked
"I know exactly what I just did, I just saved a lot of lives." Naruto replied
"I warned you not to mess with the timeline." Wells glared
"I wear this suit, to save people, and that is what I did, so excuse me if I can't find myself caring about the warning of a man who has nothing but, unproven theories, science fiction films, and novels about time travel. I looked at the facts Harrison. Mark had the ability to wipe out the coty, along with everyone I love. Fact. All he cares about is making Joe, and anyone and anything Joe cares about destroyed. Fact. Unless you have a working theory on time travel changing what was originally supposed to happen that is 100% proven true. We have nothing to talk about." Naruto said with a frown as Wells looked st him with a glare and a deep frown "I thought so." Naruto said walking away not seeing Wells eyes turn bright red, as he clenched the armrest of his chair tightly
Unknown House
An Italian middle aged man sat in his study, with armed guards around, when he looked up when his name was called "Don Santini, they're here."
"Move it." a man said as he and 3 other men forced a bound Lenord Snart, and Mick Rory into the study and forced them to sit down
"Oh, love the paneling." Snart said unbothered
"Mahogany? So glad your house is made out of wood. It's gonna be a pleasure watching it burn." Mick smirked before he was hit in the back of the head by a guard with the but of a gun unbothered he looked up at the man "Refreshing!"
'What are you doing back in Central City, Snart?" Vincent Santini asked
"This is my city." Snart said
"Our city." Mick corrected
"I told you if I ever saw you again I'd put the hurt on you. You stir up trouble. Trouble is bad for business." Santini said glaring at Snart
"It's time for you and your family to pack up. Leave town. Retire to warmer climates. Finito." Snart replied causing Santini to sit back
"And if we don't?" Santini asked smirking
"You will all freeze." Snart threatened
"Or burn." Mick smiled as Santini scoffed
"I heard about your guns. I also heard that you lost them." Santini said standing up as Mick, and Snart frowned remembering how easy The Flash took them out "So, tell me, Snart. What the hell are you and your pyro friend gonna do without your fancy weapons?"
"This." Snart said before he swung his bound hands into the nuts of the nearest guard as Mick burst out of his binds and punched the guard closest to him
Santini watched in horror as Snart, and Rory easily dealt with his crew, before the last thing he saw was Snart rolling over the desk and kicking him in the face, effectively knocking him unconscious
"Now that was fun!" Mick shouted looking around at the unconscious men, before he saw the only conscious man, and stood over him as Snart walked over
"Go. Tell the rest of the Santini family there's a new Godfather. And his name is Cold." Snart said before Mick knocked the man out
Cisco's Parents House
Cisco, and Caitlin walked into his parents home, to see family and friends enjoying the festivities before Caitlin noticed the large cake on the table "Wow. Your parents really went all out with the cake." she said
"Oh, well it is Dante's birthday. Most important day of the year." Cisco said sarcastically before he looked over to his mom, and his brother who were talking to his aunt, and cousins
"Mi hijo was invited to play Carnegie Hall when he was just 13 years old." Cisco's mom said proudly while her sister, and nieces and nephews looked unimpressed appropriate considering everyone they see her, she was talking about the same shit
"They invited the entire band, Mama." Dante said with a smug smile loving his mother's pride in him that outweighed all of Cisco's achievements
"That doesn't make it any less worthwhile." his mom said
Dante smirking looked back to see Cisco had arrived with a beautiful woman nonetheless, and walked over intending to embarrass Cisco and steal who he believed to be his girlfriend "Hey. What's up, man?"
"Hey." Cisco nodded
"Glad you could make it." Dante said
"Of course." Cisco replied unenthusiastically
"Hi, I'm Dante." Dante said looking to Caitlin
"This is my friend, Caitlin." Cisco introduced
"Hi, Caitlin." Dante said
"Happy birthday, Dante." Caitlin said politely
"Thank you." Dante said with what he felt was charming smile
"Here, I got you this. I think you'll really like it." Cisco said handing Dante a gift
"Thanks, man. Excuse me." Dante said as Cisco nodded and Dante walked off to find a way to show off and found it at the piano
Cisco sighed in annoyance as his mom gathered everyone around to listen to Dante play the piano, and once he was finished she walked over "Que linda, Dante! Well, here is one who was touched by God." she said
Caitlin frowned feeling as of that was a shot sent at Cisco as the woman hadn't even acknowledged her other son at all, putting on a fake smile as Dante walked over and spoke "Ah, I was a little rusty. I haven't played in a while." he lied having never stopped playing seeing as that was all his parents talked about
"Oh, well If that was what you sounded like rusty, I can't imagine what you sound like when you've practiced." Caitlin nodded politely even though she had heard better
"Oh, for you, I'd practice morning, noon, and night." Dante flirted
"That means you'd actually have to get up in the morning." Cisco chuckled as he sipped his drink
"So, Mom tells me you're still working at S.T.A.R. Labs, huh? Yeah. Why?" Dante asked with a frown
"No reason, man." Cisco lied
"Guess it was just hard to find another job, huh?" Dante nodded assuredly glancing to Caitlin
"Oh, I wasn't looking.I actually like working at S.T.A.R. Labs." Cisco said with a frown
"And we couldn't do what we do without Cisco." Caitlin said causing Dante to realize they worked together, so he switched tactics
"Oh, he's loyal. Just like a dog." Dante said causing Cisco to glare and Caitlin to frown "Oh, come on. Why are you so serious, mi hija?"
With a scoff Cisco walked off, and left the party,
"Happy birthday." Caitlin said leaving as well, after Dante turned to her and made to speak
CC Picture News
Naruto walked into the news station to see Iris, and Mason talking "The Flash, speeding his way into our lives."
"It's a little bit on the nose, don't you think?" Naruto asked getting there attention "Hey, Iris. Mason."
"Do I know you?" Mason asked
"Not at all." Naruto smirked
"We'll catch up later." Mason said nodding to Iris who had his folder before he looked to Naruto "Nice meeting you, strange young man."
"I'm sure." Naruto nodded as the man walked off, and he turned to Naruto "You were right, I sense he is in fact a major douche bag."
Iris smiled and slapped Naruto's arm "He's an acquired taste." she said before she turned to face him "So what's up? Everything okay with you and Linda?"
"Yeah, we're great. She left early to National City, for the playoffs. what about you and Eddie?"
"What do you mean?" Iris asked
"At the bowling alley, I noticed that he was a bit agitated." Naruto said
"Yeah, he said he didn't like the way he felt watching us."
"Understandable." Naruto nodded "So what did you want to talk about?"
"It's about Harrison Wells." Iris said holding up a folder Mason had given her
Next Day
Cisco was in trouble, apparently when he went to a bar to get drunk to forget the crap family he had caught the attention of Lisa Snart, who lured him to a house where she and her brother along with Mick were squatting, and was being forced to remake their weapons with Dante bound and at a table "Dante, just keep cool, okay? Let me do my thing." Cisco said
"Oh, really? And what? You're gonna save us with your mechanical engineering skills?" Dante asked sarcastically
"Right now, my skills are the only things keeping us alive, so if I were you, I would shut up." Cisco said
"You shut up!" Dante glared just as Mick and the Smart siblings walked in
"Ah! There she is." Mick said picking up his mini flamethrower "I missed this baby."
"Here it is. All finished. You gonna let us go now?" Cisco asked stepping away from the cold gun as Snart looked at it
"You know, I took the first gun you made me apart dozens of times. Learned how it ticked. What went where." Snart said glaring at Cisco who scowled and took off a piece, that Snart snatched from him "Thought you could tamper with the firing pin without me noticing. Nice try, kid."
"Lenny? Where's my gun? Girl's gotta defend herself." Lisa said with a pout "Besides, why should you two have all the fun?"
Snart, looked at his sister and nodded "My sister needs a weapon. Something that suits her personality."
"Make me something pretty and toxic, like me." Lisa smiled before she gained an idea "How about something with gold?"
"Gold." Cisco said with a raised eyebrow
Later
S.T.A.R. Labs
Naruto and Caitlin were talking about Mason Bridge looking into Dr. Wells, when Joe called Naruto "Joe, what's up?"
"Yeah, Snart's back." Joe said causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow
"Wait, Cold is back?" Naruto asked as Wells appeared in the threshold looking at Naruto along with Caitlin
"Yeah, he was spotted at the Santini crime family casino. If he's hitting the Santinis, we could be looking at the beginning of a mob war." Joe said hanging up causing Naruto to sigh
"Here we go again." Naruto said speeding off
Santini Casino
Everyone was having a good time, gambling as Snart walked in, winter coat and all, when members of the Santini crime family walked up with their guns ready, "You killed my brother!" the lead man said as everyone sensing a confrontation immediately gathered their money and ran off "You shouldn't have messed with my family."
"That's funny." Lisa said walking in after the last bystander left "I was gonna say the same thing about ours." she smirked before a guard raised his gun at her but she shot her new weapon causing the man to turn into a gold statue "All that glitters." she smirked
Immediately Lisa, and Snart were forced to take cover when shots were fired at them, with Snart freezing a chandelier causing it to fall onto a gunman "This is sick." Lisa said smiling brightly as she looked to her brother while they took cover, behind an overturned blackjack table
"Well, you wanted us to spend more time together." Snart smiled before Naruto arrived and took all the gunmen and tied them up outside for the cops to handle and appeared back in the casino
"How many times are we gonna go through this, Snart?" Naruto asked
"Until the best man wins!" Snart yelled jumping up and aiming his gun at Naruto who in a flash of speed had Lisa with her new gun pointed at her neck
"Drop the gun!" Naruto ordered only for Snart to raise his hands up and smirk as he began to walk toward Naruto
"We both know you're not going to do anything to her." Snart said confidently "Oh, by the way, meet my baby sister. Lisa, Flash. Flash, Lisa."
Naruto took note of the weapons the two had and gained a sinking feeling in his gut "Cisco has been very, very busy." Snart said causing the world to freeze for Naruto "Unless you want me to mail small, frozen pieces of him back to his family, I'd take your hands off her."
Naruto's arms went slack, before Lisa with a smirk made to walk toward her brother before in a flash of speed Naruto had his hand around her neck and held her up off the ground with her gun at Snart's feet
"This is the second time you went after someone I care about." Naruto said glaring at Snart who looked unsure of what to do as he aimed his cold gun at Naruto "You continue to make mistakes with me Snart. You think because I save people that I am a hero, but your wrong."
"Put her down. Or Cisco dies." Snart threatened
"See, why would I do that, a man who kills his other partners, would've just left. But your a family man, surprisingly. So here's how this works, you tell me where Cisco is or I kill your sister."
"Your bluf-"
"Eight points: Jugular, Liver, Lungs, Spine, Subclavian Artery, Larynx, Kidney, Heart. Now, Snart which one should I use to kill your baby sister?" Naruto asked darkly as a chidori roared into existence in his free hand, as Lisa struggled while Snart looked into the cold dead eyes of Naruto
"He's not bluffing, he will kill her." he thought as Naruto raised his lightning covered hand "Y-your supposed to be a hero."
"I save people as repentance for all the lives I've taken, but adding you, your sister, and Mick Rory to that long list wouldn't hurt." Naruto said as the chirping got louder "So what's it going to be Snart?! Your sister life, for my friend, or I kill her, torture you, then kill Mick and finish with you."
Snart looked to his sister who was clutching the Flash's wrist as tears streamed down her eyes as she looked at the lightning covered hand in fear, "Alright! I'll tell you where he is." Snart said putting his hands up, and Naruto put his arm down but kept the chidori active "He's a Vincent Santini'so house."
"Good boy." Naruto said dropping Lisa, before he was in front of Snart, and a vicious hook sent the man flying back into a wall, causing spiderweb cracks to form on the wall
With a groan as he clutched his jaw, Snart looked up at Naruto who stood over him "Your on notice Snart, you come after Cisco or anyone else I care about again, or hurt anyone in my town. I'll find you and kill you." Naruto threatened before he sped off
Vincent Santini's Home
Dante, and Cisco had a little heart to heart as Mick was watching his fire, before Dante feeling guilty for all the cap he's caused in Cisco's life tried to make up for it by acting as bait, so he had got loose and attacked Mick, who knocked him to the ground and kicked him in the ribs a few times before Cisco decided to protect Dante, and swung at Mick but with his still bound hands was tackled to the floor before Mick stood over him and began to rain down blow after blow,
This was the scene that Naruto arrived to and sped in, and cocked his foot back and kicked Mick right in the face, causing his upper body to go straight before Naruto punched him in the nose sending him flying away, scrambling for his gun Mick swung his arm up to burn the Flash only for Naruto to catch his wrist and caused Mick to give a shout in pain as Naruto snapped his arm in 3 different places before, he grabbed Mick by his neck and tossed him through a window
Naruto turned to Cisco who was kneeling over Dante, whose ribs were broken "Are you okay?" Naruto asked
"Yes, but my brother he needs an hospital." Cisco said getting a nod from Naruto who took Dante, and Cisco to the hospital
Later
CC Picture News
Mason was alone writing his article about the sociopath that was Harrison Wells, when his bulb went out, "God dammit." he said slapping the side of his lamp when
"Harrison Wells." a deep vibrating voice said causing him to stand up and look around "What do you know about him?"
Turning around he saw the Reverse Flash just before he was punched up over his desk, and into the leg of Iris' causing it to fall over, before he crawled away and got on his knees with his hands raised in surrender "What do you know?"
"Everything I know is in that drive. I swear." Mason swore before he was punched into the ceiling and tossed a crossed the building
"Everything?" the Reverse Flash asked as Mason crawled into a room and sat with his back against the wall
"Everything! Just take it!" Mason said before he wheezed when a vibrating arm was fazed through the wall and his chest
The Reverse Flash appeared back in the building by Mason's desk "You really were on to the story of the century. Well this century, anyway." he said looking at the man's computer before he vibrated his hand through it causing smoke to rise, before he sped around fixing everything and taking Mason's body with him
2 Days Later
Joe's House
After two peaceful days Naruto was at Joe's house for movie night, when a report on Mason appeared "Son of a bitch." Naruto said
"What?' Joe asked walking into the room
"That's Mason Bridge, Iris' mentor who was looking into Dr. Wells." Naruto said causing Joe to frown
"And now he's missing."
"I think Harrison Wells needs to be looked into." Naruto said
"Definitely." Joe nodded.
