He had expected the Flash to re-appear by now, after all she had faced one hell of a threat recently. Yes Superman had came through to Central City but she had still taken a fair old beating, word on the News was that she crossed half the planet before punching the Surfer, he had seen the drone footage himself. Jay had been right about one thing, she was far faster than he had ever been. He very much doubted that he could have done that in his prime, and here she was just beginning to test out the limits of her powers. Phasing through objects, running all over the world. Pretty soon she’d be doing things that he could only imagine having done, or had struggled having done. There was a whole other realm of possibility over to her. “Jay, where are you Jay?” He smiled as he put the cup in the sink. It wasn’t worth dwelling on anything right now, He sighed, he had his life to live and as much as he hated to admit it his hero days were long behind him. [b][right]T - 01:00[/right][/b] Jay sat down next to Joan when he felt that something wasn’t quite right. It was like a tingling running through his body, similar to the one he had got the first time he had been near the new Flash. It was different though, almost perverted. Like it had been twisted and warped. If the Speedforce that flowed through him and Iris was a positive charge, this was definitely the negative to that. Joan turned her head to face him, she knew something was wrong. They had been married for long enough for her to know that something wasn’t quite right. “Jay?” There was tension in her voice, genuine worry. “Jay what’s wrong?” He disappeared for barely a second while he got changed into his old outfit, if trouble was going to come to him he was going to wear something that he knew could handle the strains of speed. Okay, maybe the helmet was unnecessary but he couldn’t just wear half of the outfit. “Joan. I need you to go upstairs.” “Jay, what’s happening?” “I don’t know hon-” He leaned down and planted a kiss on her cheek “-but it’ll all be okay, you’ll see. Just go upstairs and wait for me there.” [b][Right]T - 00:00[/right][/b] There was a crash as the window gave way, Jay barely had time to turn his head as he saw a streak of yellow coming towards him. [b][right]T + 00:02[/right][/b] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6b/2d/5b/6b2d5bff5930e546d134cf96a59d239d.jpg[/img][/center] The next thing he knew there were confused roadworkers as he lay in the middle of a intersection being worked on. His helmet [i]dinged[/i] as it bounced and then slid away from the rapid deceleration. That never happened before, he had never went so fast to as to lose his helmet. Looking up he saw the man in yellow standing above him. “What do you want?” The man just stood there, vibrating his molecules creating an ominous humming sound as he looked over Jay. Eventually he spoke. “What did you do to the Timeline?!” “What do you mean?” [b][right]T + 00:26[/right][/b] The man ran straight at him, grabbing him. Jay attempted to bat his hand away, but the man in yellow just pulled his hand back and came at an angle far faster than he could ever hope to move. Lifted off his feet by his neck he grasped at the hands clamping down on his throat, trying to pull them loose. He tried vibrating his molecules, but whoever the man was he knew how to counter it. “Barry Allen was supposed to become the Flash. I planned it, every, single, part. Then I decide to take a look for myself at this [i]Scarlet Speedster[/i], the Flash that’s running around because the news reporting it was a women.” He delivered a quick blow to Jays gut, knocking the wind out of him as the man threw Jay over onto a nearby concrete barrier. “I thought it was a stroke of genius on Barrys behalf. Somehow presenting himself to appear to be a woman, keep people guessing.” He leaned in. “Then I discover it is Iris West beneath the cowl.” He spat at Jay, rushing forward. Pushing himself up Jay ran. [b][right]T + 00:41[/right][/b] Jay pushed on, his legs, arms, everything screaming in protest. He was in pain, something was broken and there was likely some bleeding but he couldn’t let that stop him. This madman was going to kill him, and he needed to find the Flash- Iris. Maybe the two of them together could find a way to beat him. [b][right]T +00:42 [/right][/b] The man in yellow was gone as he turned a corner. Sighing in relief he turned back to where he was going to meet a fist colliding with his face. [b][right]T + 01:05[/right][/b] Joan gasped as there was a rush of wind in the room. “Jay?!” She looked around to see no Jay, instead there lay a bloodstained note on the table. Tears streaming down her face she lifted the note. `Bring me the Flash, or Jay dies.` Below there were more instructions, likely where and when the exchange was supposed to happen but she couldn’t bring herself to read them. Joan simply fell to her knees weak as she sobbed for her husband.
