3 Weeks Later
Joe's House
It's been 3 weeks since Naruto's rage fest, the week after he, Cisco and Caitlin had went to Starling City to help out Oliver and his team with Captain Boomerang the team up had went smoothly with no problems. After they returned to Central City, Naruto had began to train, and help out the city, he actually had no intention of finding another job, his book was doing very well, and in 2 months he'll release the second installment.
Currently Naruto was with Joe, helping him decorate the Christmas tree which was going rather slowly, handing the man another decoration, Naruto sighed
"There's only 2 boxes left." Joe said
"Seriously?" Naruto asked before in a blur he decorated the entire tree, and sat back down on the couch "There you go." he said
"OK, the only red-suited dude I want in this house right now is Kris Kringle, you got it?" Joe asked
With a groan, Naruto undid the tree and sat back down, while Joe laughed as Iris walked in with three Christmas mugs "Uh, these ornaments are not gonna hang themselves."
"Says the one whose been in the kitchen this entire time." Naruto said as he handed Joe another decoration
Iris began to hand out the mugs "Grandma Esther's recipe...Light on the bourbon."
"Oh, yes." Naruto said taking his mug
"Mmm. I always loved her definition of light." Joe said sipping his mug, before his phone rung "And the Christmas tradition continues." he said missing Iris' blush as she glanced to a grinning Naruto "Detective West...Yeah? All right." hanging up he looked to Iris and Naruto "Sorry, kids, the D.A. wants to ask me some questions. Make sure there's some nog left for me when I get back."
"We'll think about it." Naruto said as Joe grabbed his jacket and left, making to sip his mug again, Naruto looked up when Iris grabbed it, and placed it down "Iris I don't think Santa's elf should take advantage of him this year."
Iris who was turning off the T.V blushed, as around this time every year she would run upstairs and show Naruto her sexy elf costume before they would sleep together
"Shut up." Iris said before she cleared her throat and made Naruto sit on the floor with her before she grabbed two of the presents from under the tree
"Oh, come on, we're doing this already? Christmas isn't for a few days." Naruto said
"I couldn't wait any longer." Iris said before she handed Naruto her present "Here." suddenly she snatched it back "Oh, wait, me first."
"Okay." Naruto said with a smile watching as Iris opened her gift before she pulled out a necklace with a ring
"My mother's wedding band?" Iris asked in surprise
"A replica, yeah." Naruto lied having searched the entire zoo for the real one, and cleaned it up "You were devastated when you lost the real one."
"Our field trip to the zoo." Iris said
"You cried for weeks." Naruto remembered, before he grabbed it "Here."
Iris turned around so Naruto can put on the necklace, she looked back when he clasped it on her neck to see he had a soft smile on his face, as he sat back "I don't know what to say."
Naruto smiled as Iris brought him into a hug, Iris held Naruto tightly as she took light whiffs of his scent, before he pulled back "My gift so sucks in comparison"
"No way." Naruto said before he opened it to see it was a microscope
"It's supposed to be the best one on the market." Iris explained as Naruto looked at it with a raised eyebrow "I thought you could maybe use a new one...It's lame, I know."
"Yeah, it is." Naruto said causing Iris to punch his chest "I was going to say, that I'll cherish because it came from you."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Iris said
"To late, you just punched yourself out of the Benz I was ordering for you, congrats Iris you'll be getting a Prius." Naruto said shaking his head causing Iris to gasp, before she tried to apologize but the door rang
"That must be Eddie."
"My queue to leave." Naruto said getting up and helping her to her feet, pecking her cheek, Naruto grabbed his jacket, and walked over to open the door to see Eddie
"Hey. Nate how you been?" Eddie asked
"I've been good, Eddie, I wish I could talk but I got to handle something. I'll see you at the Christmas party." Naruto said walking off
"Nate, don't forget this." Iris said handing him a flask
Later
S.T.A.R. Labs
After leaving Joe's house, Naruto had went Christmas shopping for his friends and Wells to be polite, to the wheelchair bound man
"Merry Christmas. Just a small token of my gratitude." Naruto said handing out the gifts "For everything you guys have done for me this year."
"I think I speak on behalf of my colleagues when I say you've been a gift for us, Nate." Wells said
Naruto turned around and picked up a flask "What's that?" Caitlin asked as she began to open her present
"This is compliments of Iris, Grandma Esther's famous eggnog." Naruto said
"That's what I'm talking about." Cisco said walking off to get something to drink from
"Maybe later for me. Wouldn't want to drink and drive." Wells said rolling away
Naruto raised an eyebrow "Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Caitlin said shaking her head
"No, man. He, um this used to be his favorite time of year, but the accident happened before Christmas, so kind of ruined the holidays." Cisco said walking over
Caitlin gasped, seeing the diamond snowflake necklace Naruto had got for her "Nate, it's beautiful."
Naruto smiled before Caitlin hugged him, and he helped her put it on, while Cisco began to pour himself some eggnog
The three friends would enjoy their time together before Caitlin left to get a present for Wells to cheer him up
CC Jitters
Iris and Eddie were at jitters drinking coffee "The fact that I asked you for your shirt size should in no way indicate that I am getting you something shirt-related for Christmas."
Eddie smiled before he sat forward "Nate seemed a little odd today. I'm pretty sure he wasn't psyched I came by, with how fast he got out of there...You ever think He maybe might like you?"
Iris gulped her coffee, and looked at Eddie "Should I tell him that me and Nate have dated, no that's a bad idea he'll probably want me to not be around him as much anymore." Iris thought before she said "What? No."
"Friends don't give friends wedding bands." Eddie said
"He wasn't proposing to me, silly. He and I are just best friends." Iris said hoping that Eddie would let it go, and not get all jealous of Nate
"Well, then he won't be bothered by this." Eddie said before he placed a small box on the table, his gift would probably out due Nate's he secretly hoped "A bit early, but I couldn't wait."
Iris opened the box slowly, before she saw a key inside it "I figured we've been together a year now." Eddie said causing her to look up at him "You pretty much stay there most nights anyway."
"I love you." Iris said grabbing his hand
"That's a yes, I take it?" Eddie asked with a smirk
Mall
Caitlin was leaving the mall, currently heading heading to her car while on the phone with Cisco "It was that or Stephen Hawking's new autobiography, and we both know how he feels about Hawking...Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye, Cisco."
Caitlin hung up but paused as she thought she saw something, slowly heading to her car, she gasped when she saw Ronnie in the reflection of her mirror standing behind her, turn in around she saw someone turning a corner, and immediately followed him and found the man in the corner seemingly struggling with himself before his hands and head burst into flames, and he turned to her
Caitlin gasped when she saw Ronnie, and backed away and hid behind a wall
Later
Linda's Apartment
Naruto just arrived at Linda's apartment to help her set up decorations, "Linda?" he asked
"I'm in the kitchen!" Linda shouted
Naruto began to walk toward the kitchen taking note of the undecorated tree, that he had brought up for her yesterday, and the Charlie Brown Christmas special playing on her flatscreen
Standing in the doorway of the kitchen, he saw her in one of his large t-shirts that he had let her have, pouring herself a glass of eggnog
"So will Larkin be giving you a break soon?" Naruto asked since Linda had been working overtime at the news station
"Not till after New Years." Linda said before she looked to him, and seemed to notice something so she placed her glass down and walked over to him
Naruto raised an eyebrow when she stood in front of him, "What?" he asked only for her to smile, looking up Naruto saw a mistletoe, "A mistletoe, do you know how tack-mmph!"
Naruto was interrupted by Linda who kissed him as soon as he looked back down at her, moaning in pleasure, Naruto wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her panty clad ass, before he lifted her up and placed her on the counter, as Linda gripped him by his hair when he began to suck on her neck causing her to moan in pleasure
Suddenly Naruto stopped, "Wait, wait," Naruto pulled away to look at Linda who looked confused "You have no idea, how much I want to do this, from here to the couch to your bed room, hell all over your house."
"But?"
"I need to tell you something." Naruto said seriously, when she raised an eyebrow in question he continued "Including you, there are 4 women in my life that I can say that I have feelings for, 1 lives in Starling City, another has a boyfriend, another has a dead fiance that she is still in love with, and you.
You're not a consolation prize, I really care for you, and you need to know that I do have feelings for 3 other women. You also need to know exactly who it is, that your getting involved with."
"What's next, your a serial killer?" Linda asked jokingly
"No." Naruto said shaking his head, before he grabbed her hand "Let me show you."
Linda watched confused as Naruto led her to the living room and had her sit on the couch "Nate?"
"Just watch." Naruto said standing by the box of decorations
Linda watched as Naruto touched one decoration before he turned into a blur of yellow electricity, her entire living room was decorated with Naruto now sitting on the coffee table in front of her, causing her to jump so that her knees were tucked to her chest, as she looked around her apartment to see every inch was decorated
Looking back to Naruto who gave a small smile she asked "Y-your the.." Naruto nodded "Oh my god, the hot guy who I've fallen in love with is a super speeding super hero."
Naruto chuckled before he realized what she said "Fallen in love?"
Linda blushed "Um,"
"Listen, this is a lot to take in, all at once, but I'll tell you anything you want to know, only it has to stay between us." Naruto said getting a nod from Linda,
Naruto's Apartment
Clanging could be heard in Naruto's apartment, as he worked out on his salmon ladder, with his gravity belt still under 15x gravity, last night he had told Linda everything and she requested some space to process everything, which he agreed to
Hearing Joe enter, he kept at his workout, "Man, I still don't know how you can do that." Joe said
"It's all in the core." Naruto said continuing "What can I do for you this lovely morning?"
"There was an attack at Mercury Labs last night." Joe said
Naruto stopped and looked to Joe, "Is Tina ok?" he asked having interned at Mercury Labs and gotten close to the woman who he hadn't seen in a while
"Yes, 2 security guards were killed, and the witness described seeing what looked like a blur in some kind of yellow suit."
Naruto who was about to get another rep in, stopped, and looked to Joe, as he dropped down "What?" he asked walking closer, as he took a towel and began to wipe the sweat from his face "So he's back."
"Yeah, he's been back for a few weeks." Joe said causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow
"A few weeks?" Naruto asked
"He paid a visit to me at the house, and took all the files on your mom's and Barry's case,"
"Why didn't you say anything?" Naruto asked
"He threatened to kill Iris." Joe said causing Naruto eyes to narrow
"Give me a minute, and we'll head to S.T.A.R. Labs, to see if we can lure this guy out." Naruto said getting a nod from Joe
Walking toward his room, Naruto was in deep thought "He shows up, when Joe vegans to actively look into mom's and Barry's case, and now after I wrote the algorithm. Either he's been watching me, or its just a coincidence. But my algorithm has only followed the trail I've left around Central City, meaning he either hasn't been using his speed, or something is different about him."
Later
S.T.A.R. Labs
Team Flash was in the cortex, with Naruto sitting in a chair deep in thought "The witness described seeing a yellow blur just like the one that killed Nate's brother, and mother." Joe said
"Then we need to get cracking and stop this speed psycho." Cisco said before he looked to Naruto "That I wasn't trying to give him a name."
"The crime scene at Mercury Labs was on a floor with highly secured vaults, and the witness said he was looking for something." Naruto said having sped through the facility
"Whatever it was, he wanted it badly enough to kill for it." Wells said
"Doctor, what all do you know about Mercury Labs?" Joe asked
"Mercury was one of S.T.A.R. Labs' major competitors until our little setback, and then it catapulted to the forefront led by Dr. Christina McGee, brilliant but egocentric physicist." Wells aid pulling up all the info he had on Mercury Labs
"Says here Dr. McGee has secured half a billion dollars in private funding to develop, and I quote, "prototypes for the technology of the future." Cisco said
"Well, I'll be. Tina's messing with tachyons, superluminal particles." Wells said
"Of course. So what could someone do with one of those Tachyons?" Joe asked
"Applied to someone like me, with a matrix stable enough to harness their power, the speedster could become unbelievably faster." Naruto said having just had a conversation on tachyons with Jeremiah
"That's right." Wells said
"He's gonna try to get them again, so we need to get what Mercury has and use it as a lure." Joe said
"Exactly right. Cisco, Caitlin, let's start engineering a trap." Wells said rolling away
"You got it." Cisco said following
"Of course." Caitlin said placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder before she followed her colleagues
"Nate." Joe said causing Naruto to look up at him "Well find this guy."
"I'm counting on it." Naruto said
"Look, when we find him, you can't kill him."
"What? Joe, I swea-"
"Remember, we have to get your dad out of prison if this guy is dead, we can't do that." Joe said interrupting Naruto who took a deep breath and nodded his head
Later
Naruto laid in bed, staring at the ceiling, before he looked over to Iris who was sleeping in content, after they slept together, getting up and putting on a fresh pair of underwear, and his black jeans as well as his shoes, Naruto walked to his kitchen and poured himself a glass of bourbon,
Earlier today he had made a stop at Mercury Labs to see Tina and had fashioned a plan with her, for the tachyon prototype, one that made sure Harrison Wells couldn't steal it, or the man in yellow and even if they did it wouldn't matter because it'll just be a replica and have no where near the needed particles to do anything productive with, As he gulped down his drink he began to walk toward his balcony, he paused and looked to his bedroom where Iris was asleep
Flashback
Iris sat beside Naruto on the couch while Rudolph played on the T.V. "Nate, you know you can talk to me about anything right?"
Naruto who was eating his popcorn stopped and looked to her "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I just feel that your not telling me something."
"Iris, your my best friend, and I love you, if I'm keeping something from you it'll never be by choice."
"So nothing is wrong?" Iris asked
"Just matters of the heart." Naruto said causing her to raise an eyebrow "Look I love you, and I'll never stop, loving you. Not for anything. But there are other women who I've fallen for, how can I be with a woman when I love other women the exact same way that I love her. It's that reason, I don't think relationships are the way to go for me at this moment."
End Flashback
Naruto shook his head, it was a mistake to sleep with her, not that he cared about Eddie, it just meant things were going to be awkward with her now, not that they slept together, but the fact that she basically cheated on Eddie
Pinching the bridge of his nose, Naruto sighed as he placed down his glass, and leaned on the banister, and looked down at the street, feeling himself being watched he looked up and his eyes widened as Eobard Thawne stood across the way on a rooftop
Ba-Dump!
The entire world froze around him, as Naruto hopped on the banister and charged at Eobard kicking the air itself, before he was in front of Eobard as time resumed
Eobard was vibrating as he watched his meal-ticket, to his way back home, when he saw that Nate had noticed him, getting ready to lead him on a chase, he was surprised when Naruto was right in front of him before a mean right hook sent him flying off the roof
As soon as Naruto's feet hit the ground he wiped his bloody nose and was chasing after the tumbling Eobard, appearing beside his airborne body, Naruto twirling landed 10 kicks in quick succession, before one sent Robards down toward the street,
Ba-Dump!
Time stoppedal again and Naruto was now under Eobard, and a punch to his jaw sent him back up, before Naruto stopped time again, and was over Eobard and an axe handle blow sent him flipping toward a building
Smashing through a window through three walls, Eobard groaned as blood leaked from his mouth, and out one of his eye holes as a cut above his eye was opened,
Quickly as he could he ran out of the office building down into the street, leading Naruto through the city
Naruto skidded to a stop when Eobard stood there clutching his ribs, in an alleyway "Eobard Thawne. You should've stayed under the rock you crawled out from."
"You know my name?" Eobard asked giving time for his ribs to heal
"The speed force let your name slip, when I was in my coma." Naruto said as lightning began to buzz around him "You killed my mother, and my brother for no reason. My father has spent the last 14 years behind bars, and his entire family has turned their backs on him, because of you." Naruto's pupils turned to slits "I'm going to kill you, but not now, no the D.A is going to see you and free my father, then I'm going to make you suffer."
"You'll have to catch me first." Eobard smirked a bit rattled from the conviction in the threat, before he turned and ran, but a shockwave caused him to look back to see Naruto was gaining on him and quickly,
Slapping his chest to activate the tachyon devise on his suit, he shot off
Naruto was following Eobard, noticing how he cut the corners, getting a feel for his pattern Naruto made work of his knowledge of the layout of the city, and broke off
Vibrating through, cars, and buildings Naruto caught Eobard with another hook which Eobard ducked under before he kept running with Naruto beside him, Naruto threw a backhand, that Eobard blocked with a grunt, and the two began to throw blows as they ran before Naruto caught Eobard in the chin with a knee, while Eobard got back to his feet and dodged a car, before he made a sharp turn toward the staduim, but Naruto was back on him and grabbed him by the wrist and using his enhanced strength tried to swing Eobard into the chidori he manifested,
Thinking quickly Eobard swung his hips and the momentum caused Naruto to hit the entrance of the football stadium, and release Eobard as he rolled on the field and got to his feet,
Looking around Naruto looked up when the lights began to come on, and Eobard was now in front of him
"Impressive." Eobard said panting slightly
Naruto remained silent and took a step forward, Eobard smirked ready to clash, but his eyes widened when Naruto just vanished before pain erupted from his back, causing him to spit up blood, as Naruto appeared behind him, and stabbed him with his lightning sword
Ripping the sword from Eobard's back, Naruto turned him around and punched him in the jaw, before a blow to stomach, caused the man to hunch over, grabbing the man Naruto with a roar tossed him away
Eobard's grunted when he hit the field goal, and fell into the stands, and tried to climb to his feet, his body was going numb, and he tried to neutralize the effects but it wasn't working fast enough
Naruto began to walk toward Eobard's and noticed that he stopped vibrating before it returned like his speed was fluctuating, seeing the man speed toward the exit Naruto screamed "Your not leaving!"
Naruto stopped time again, and ignored the blood dripping from his nose, and appeared in front of Eobard, and charged him just as time restarted before he screamed "Lariat!"
"Guahh!" Eobard was sent flying across the stadium before he hit the ground and began to tumble, but Naruto not letting him get enough time to regain his barring was by his side, before a mean kick to the torso sped up his flight, before Naruto began to appear all around Eobard landing blow after blow (Tailed beast Flash bullet)
Naruto skidded to a stop and fell to a knee and wiped his nose, as he panted as he looked at Eobard who was groaning in pain,
Seeing him forcing himself up to his feet, Naruto gritted his teeth,
Eobard was wary of the young speedster, and relieved that he had reinforced his suit, it was like he was experienced in high speed combat, and his blows were doing a lot of damage he needed to leave and quickly
Naruto climbed to his feet,
"Your almost there Flash, just a little bit more." Eobard said
"What is it that you want from me, why did you kill my mother and brother?" Naruto asked trying to get one more breath so he could freeze time no matter the consequences it was having on his body
"All in due time."
"You say that like your going to leave here." Naruto said as a chidori roared into existence
Eobard's eyes widened before he turned around as Naruto cocked his arm back and threw it forward the lightning leapt from his palm and turned into a wolf, that immediately began to chase Eobard who managed to get away as Naruto collapsed to his knees with his vision blurry causing the lightning wolf to implode into a shower of electricity
Gritting his teeth, Naruto sat down and regained his breath
Climbing to his feet he began to walk home, stewing in his weakness,
Next Day
S.T.A.R. Labs
Naruto was at the lab, he had brought in the dummy prototype, earlier, and while Cisco had put out the word that they had, it Wells, and Joe had decided that he shouldn't be hear, and the fact that he was no longer with the police, would be used against him when Eddie, and his task force were here
Currently he was heading to the basement to blow off some steam, when he saw Caitlin in the pipeline hall, looking at her ring with tears in her eyes
"Cait?" Naruto asked after taking a deposit breath to put away his frustration and anger to be there for his friend "You okay?"
"Yeah, are you? I know this is a big time for you"
"Forget about me, your sitting here alone, crying. What's wrong?"
"Ronnie's alive." Caitlin said after a moment causing Naruto to look at her in surprise
"T-that's great, why aren't you excited?"
"He's different."
"He's the man you fell in love with, we'll find him."
"Why so we can throw him in there with all the other meta-human psychos?" Caitlin asked sadly causing Naruto to sigh "I used to play this game in my head. What would I give up for just one more minute with him? My house, my career, the rest of my life? Today I finally got that minute. Then I wish I hadn't. Seeing him like that, what he's become...Dear God I wish he had just died that day."
Naruto looked at her sadly and brought her into a hug as she began to sob
Later
Joe's House
Naruto was standing alone on the porch after coming from visiting his dad, who had told him that the man in the yellow suit had already stolen so much of his life, because of what happened that night, his dad had told him to start really living his life, and to let it go.
Fuck what he talkin' bout Naruto had no intention of doing that whatsoever
Entering he saw, Iris doing the tree, "Hey." Iris greeted turning to him but keeping her distance
"You snuck out while I was in the shower this morning so we couldn't talk." Naruto said
Iris frowned "I cheated on Eddie with you."
Naruto nodded "I know."
"I know that you know, you just don't care." Iris said which was true
"That's right, but I care about you, Iris. Your not in this alone when you kissed me I could've stopped you, but I didn't. You can't tell Eddie."
"What? How can you say that, I'm supposed to be moving in with him, I can't just keep that a secret."
"Yes you can, just like we unnecessarily kept are relationship a secret from Joe."
"Unnecessarily?"
"Joe knew that we were dating the entire time." Naruto revealed causing Iris to look at him in shock "Now, I know you haven't told Eddie about us, so don't tell him this. He makes you happy, that's all that matters."
Iris stared at Naruto for a moment before she nodded "Fine, but we need some space."
"Okay, it's perfectly understandable." Naruto said before his phone buzzed as an alert went off "I have to go,"
Iris watched as Naruto left the house, and sighed before she sat down
2 Hours Later
S.T.A.R. Labs
Unaware of what his girlfriend had done, Eddie was looking around the cortex, as he and his task force waited alongside Team Flash "Sending out another pulse." Cisco said as he unknowingly depleted the already low amount of tachyon particles
"Are you certain this trap will work?" Eddie asked impatient
"I've sent up at least three charges into open satellite. If anyone's looking tachyonic particles, they'll know we got them." Cisco said
After a moment of everyone watching the monitor they saw Eobard speed into the trap and began to bang on the force field that sprung up
"Let's see what we caught." Wells smirked as he, Joe, and the task force went to see their catch "Cisco? Lights."
"Sure thing, Dr. Wells." Cisco said over the mic before he turned on the lights as the officers had their weapons of Eobard who was watching them "Detective Thawne, would you like to read him his rights?"
Eddie nodded, but before he could do anything Joe walked forward "Joe, what are you doing?" he asked
"Getting some answers." Joe said watching Eobard "14 years ago, you murdered Nora, and Barry Allen, I want to know why. Why?"
Naruto's Apartment
Naruto had hacked into S.T.A.R. Labs security cameras and was watching everything
S.T.A.R. Labs
Eobard ignored Joe, and walked toward Wells and said "Dr. Wells, we meet at last."
"What do you want with the tachyonic particles?" Wells asked
"My goals are beyond your understanding." Eobard said
"Oh, I don't know, I'm a pretty smart guy. I knew you were exceptionally fast, so any trap we manufactured would have to be invisible. I knew your cells could repair themselves at extraordinary speeds, so you could withstand the damage this is doing to your body right now." Wells said
With Cisco, and Caitlin
Cisco eyes widened when he noticed his machine failing "The super capacitors the containment field is fluctuating. They need to get out of there now."
With Task force & Wells
"The reason I know all this is because your powers are almost exactly like those of The Flash." Wells said
"Oh, I'm not like The Flash at all. Some would say I'm the reverse." Eobard said
Cortex
"Dr. Wells, evacuate! Get out of there now!" Caitlin screamed but they couldn't be heard
With Wells
The officers were watching when suddenly a streak of red lightning and Wells was getting his ass beat in the force field
Naruto's Apartment
Naruto made no move to go to the rescue, as he watched Wells get a beat down listening to Joe and Cisco argue to shut down the barrier before Joe did by taking out a compaciter, and Eobard grab the prototype before he left and was back, quickly he grabbed his suit and was on his way to round 2
S.T.A.R. Labs
Joe was being held against a capacitor by Eobard "I warned you not to hunt me." the man said before Naruto arrived and kicked him away from Joe
Eddie was on the ground, he should be dead like his comrades but he wasn't 'Catch you in a bit Eddie, we're going to talk about you friend in the yellow suit.' he remembered the Flash saying
Outside
Caitlin, and Cisco ran outside to see a tornado of red, and yellow lightning, before they landed and both threw a punch causing their fist to clash, turning around to land a reverse round house, Naruto saw Eobard duck, before he batted away Eobard's low jab, and tried to punch Eobard's nose, but the man tilted his body out of the way, and tried a high kick, that Naruto blocked
Eobard tried a wild hook, but Naruto slapped his elbow away, before Naruto landed a spinning back fist, causing Eobard to stumble, before he tried a reverse round house, that Naruto ducked under, before he tried it again, but he was blocked once again, and back flipped leading with the same leg, but Naruto slapped his leg up
Frustrated Eobard went for another round house, but Naruto once again ducked, and flipped away, coming out of his flip, Naruto dodged when Eobard sped in to punch him, and elbowed Eobard's jaw, and spun around so he was behind Eobard and kicked his ribs sending him into a car
Naruto began to walk toward the down, Eobard cracking his knuckles, and when he sped in with his arm raised he punched his arm through the car door, while Eobard had dodged turning around his eyes widened when he saw Eobard had Caitlin, and Cisco by their necks
"No!" Naruto yelled
"Your stronger then I was expecting, Flash, but your weaknesses are easily accessible, you care for people to much." Eobard said
"Your right, and it's because that I care, that I'm strong." Naruto said just as 2 speed clones appeared and grabbed Cisco, and Caitlin and put them behind him
Eobard glanced at the three Naruto as they shared a glance, before they rushed him, trying to see which was the real one, he thought he had him when the first clone grabbed his wrist only to be shocked when. the second actually hit him in the face, before the third kneed him in the gut
"They're real!" he thought in horror, before the three Naruto's began to land vicious blow, after blow
Naruto took a deep breath when the clones vanished as he hid his exhaustion before he grabbed Eobard by his throat, "Let's see behind the mask shall we."
Eobard's eyes widened when Naruto began to remove his mask
Naruto was anticipating what this guy really looked like, but was unprepared when a fireball knocked him away from Eobard
"Maybe next time Flash." Eobard said before he sped away
Naruto got up, and saw some guy on fire, before he was in his face, "What the hell was that?" Naruto growled before Cisco, and Caitlin got between him and the mystery man
"Nate calm down its Ronnie." Caitlin said understanding what he was going through
Naruto sighed and turned around to where Eobard had ran off to, he needed to perfect his abilities, he can't be limited to the way he is now, looking up Naruto saw Ronnie flying away, while Caitlin watched, before he looked to Cisco "I'm going to need your help."
"With what?" Cisco asked
"To figure out, how to steal speed from objects and people." Naruto said causing Cisco to look at him in surprise as Naruto looked back toward where Eobard had escaped
Later
Harrison was alone in the lab, after everyone went to Joe's house, in his weird braille room, he was tinkering with his tachyon devise and the prototype he stole. before he frowned when he saw that there were barely any particles inside it, causing him to frown, so all of this was for nothing, he couldn't even go higher than Mach 2 with his fluctuating connection to the speed force, and Nate was getting stronger and more dangerous as time passed
With no way to stop, or recreate any of the milestones Nate was achieving how the hell was he going to stop that monster, from killing him, and return home.
"Gideon." Wells said before his A.I showed up "Search for tachyon particles outside of Central City, and find Grodd."
