Using whatever she could to cordon off the street to stop people from walking into what was likely to be a very interesting fight, and very dangerous fight. It was her duty first and foremost to protect them. She didn’t do this for the glory, she didn’t do this to enforce her will on other people but to help other people in a way that others couldn’t. She stopped in front of him after clearing the street, and noticed a grin spread across his face. “Why so cheerful?” One of Hydros arms reformed into a mace like appendage while the other into a curved sword. “When that Zoom guy told me you’d run passed this street I didn’t believe him, I’ve been here almost all day without so much as a hint that you were going to come this way. Then right when I’m about to give you up, here you are.” ‘Zoom’. The entire word threw her balance, as the man of water came running towards her she only dodged at the last second. Barely calling upon her speed as she did so, regaining her composure she ducked below his arm and then moved off to the other end of the street. “I didn’t have you pegged as a lackey Hydro.” She sped towards him, sending her first straight for his face. Like every attack before however it just landed on water as her first entered the space where his head should be. Shortly after a massive fist punched her right in her gut. Doubling over she was pushed back, coughing she ran to the other end of the street. Grabbing various knives from a cutlery tray outside a restaurant she threw them at Hydro from various angles, she had no real skill in throwing knives but the speed really helped her alter the trajectory of the knives to ensure that they would find their target.The knives gave her a second to think. As they tore into him, they passed straight through but as his water changed it’s consistency to water Hydro seemed to be unable to really control much of his body while it had to keep reacting to the knives. Iris could keep him off balance, but off balance wasn’t going to win her this fight. It wasn’t going to put him somewhere where he couldn’t hurt anyone ever again. As she ran out of knives she ducked as he sent blasts of water at her, dashing back and forth at the end of the street dodging streams of water as they threatened to take her out. Could she really trust Jay? Iris had just been at his house, and on her way back she encountered someone who had been put in her path by Zoom. That seemed a little too suspicious, but the advice he had given her made some form of sense. Electricity and water didn’t mix very well, so whatever gave Hydro his powers likely meant that he had this weakness incorporated into his very being. Her trail was made out of lightning, though she wasn’t entirely happy about the prospect of having to run through another human being. There had to be another way. Running at him again she jumped as he cast out a low torrent of water, jumping over the stream before it was even close she landed in a run. Moving around him she started to circle him. With every revolution she gained speed, until she started to form a small vortex of air with Hydro at the centre of the vacuum. His body distorted as the forces pulled at it, it’s entirety taking on a liquid form as it was pulled apart. He screamed as he lost form and she smiled. She didn’t need Jay to figure this out, she could do it on her own. Slowing down she skidded to a stop looking over the puddle that was Hydro. Iris looked over him, trying to think of a clever quip. A superhero had just defeated a bad guy, that meant that a quip was in order. At least that was the etiquette that Barry was trying to force on her. When nothing was coming to her she shrugged and ran to a nearby hardware store. Seeing what she needed she picked up the Vacuum Backpack and slung it over her shoulders, returning to the scene she was almost ready to clean up her mess when a fist shot out from the puddle and hit her square in the jaw. Seeing stars she fell backwards, wind knocked from her as she hit the ground. “You think taking me out would have been that easy, Flash?” She groaned as she sat up, Hydro reforming himself but this time he didn’t look like a man. Instead he was a mass of water with eyes and a mouth. She rolled as water shot the knives she had thrown at him earlier straight for her chest. Kicking herself to her feet the whole world spun for a second before it righted herself. Iris had never been more thankful for her regenerative abilities than right this very second. A blow to that would have knocked a regular human on their ass for hours. “Don’t you get it girly? I’m the real deal. You’re just an amatuer.” [center][img]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vZ7OFWDylso/hqdefault.jpg[/img][/center] Lightning burnt through her as she planned her next move, as he shot a stream of water at her she turned and ran away. When she found herself pushing the sound barrier she turned in a wide arc, returning to the street she was already on. At this speed everything was at a standstill: Cars, people, animals. She moved around them as if they were statues, she stumbled slightly on her feet as the worry that she’d never be able to slow down crept into her mind. Iris took a deep breath and pushed on, right now she couldn’t worry about that. She saw the shockwave as she broke the sound barrier, just at the moment she had hoped to. Passing through a park where there was no glass. She had learned the hard way that civilians and shattered glass didn’t go terribly well together. She took a deep breath and felt the air coursing through her, the speed and the lightning flowing with her as she ran. She could see Hydro now, still frozen moving to attack the place where she had been. Iris felt the entire world shift, running straight towards him she closed her eyes as she passed through him, and the next building. Zipping back around she was just in time to see him convulse in pain as the lightning knocked him down, simply falling into a puddle. Taking no chances she used the vacuum on her back to suck up every drop of water. A smile crossing her face, she had just beat her first metahuman.
