Saving Harry

Cortex

The team listened to Jesse explain the situation, "It's been two weeks since he disappeared. I mean, no one's seen or heard from him since." she said

"Slow down. Just start from the beginning." Naruto said getting a nod as Jesse took a deep breath, "Okay, why did your dad go to Gorilla City?"

*Wait, can we slow down even further? Please explain what is a Gorilla City?" Felicity asked

"Okay, so there are sentient, highly intelligent evolved gorillas in Earth-2. And they all live in a city deep in the heart of Africa." Jesse explained

"We sent Grodd there when he went after Fay Wray here." Cisco said nodding to Caitlin

"Grodd's there?" Linda asked

"Mm. He wanted companionship and Harry helped us send him there." Caitlin said as Naruto frowned in thought

"Why on Earth, any Earth, would your father want to go there?" Whitney asked

"I mean, we received a mathematical cryptogram at S.T.A.R. Labs. It was highly complex. It took a week to decode it, but my dad and I did." Jesse said

"What did it say?" Naruto asked

"It was an invitation from the gorillas to my dad." Jesse said

"Why Harry?" Linda asked

"They wanted to meet him. So he mounted an expedition with ten other people, and they went into the jungle. But they failed multiple check-ins, and a search party went in after them. But all they found were the bodies all of them beaten to death...But no one's seen my dad. I mean, is he-"

"No. No, he's alive." Naruto said placing a hand on Jesse's arm to calm her down, "Grodd went to a lot of trouble to get him there. He need him for something. We're gonna figure out what that is."

"Oh! There you guys are. I've been looking all over for you." H.R. said walking in, "Are we going for coffee or what?"

"Dad!" Jesse yelled running over and hugging H.R as everyone looked at her sadly as H.R. smiled hugging her back

"Yes, that's how you say good morning, people with hugs." H.R. smiled

"Jesse, that's not who you think it is." Naruto said causing Jesse to look at them

"This is H.R. You met him briefly before you left last time." Caitlin said causing Jesse to back up as she looked at H.R

"At your service, madame." H.R bowed

"He's Harry's substitute." Naruto said

"Some would say improvement." H.R. smirked

"Um, this is Harry's daughter." Cisco said

"Yeah." H.R nodded

"He's been kidnapped." Cisco said

"He I didn't know. I'm so s - I thought - Sorry about that." Jesse and H.R stammared

"I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry I took the smile from your face." H.R. said as Jesse walked back from him, as Linda noticed the thoughtful expression on Naruto's face

"What are you thinking about?" Linda asked

"I don't think Grodd wanted just companionship, I think he wanted soldiers." Naruto said causing everyone to look at him, as he brought up the headline

"This headline from the future: the city's still recovering from a gorilla attack. I think Grodd lured Harry to Gorilla City to get us."

"He wants to come back." Caitlin frowned

"Not alone by the sound of it." Felicity said

"Chances are Grodd was forced into servitude under the Alpha, and wants us to do something about it." Naruto frowned

"Well what do we do?" Jesse asked

"Felicity put a call into Lyla see if she can get a cell that can hold Grodd."

"You want to bring him here?" Cisco asked

"He wants to be an Alpha he can earn that role for himself. We just need to expose him to the head ape in charge." Naruto said scratching the back of his head, "Harry's our friend. I'm not gonna just abandon him. I'm going back to Earth-2."

"And I suppose you'll want somebody to come with you who's gonna open those breaches for you?" Cisco asked

"We had so much fun last time." Naruto smiled

"Fun-ish." Cisco retorted smirking, "I'm in."

"I'm gonna come too. I have a special connection with Grodd. Maybe we can use that to get through to him." Caitlin said

"You sure?" Naruto asked getting a nod from Caitlin, "Okay, Jesse, Whitney, and Linda I need you all to protect the city."

"Look, I didn't come here for you to take all the risk. I'm going to help." Jesse said

"Your dad would kill me if I let you come along." Naruto replied

"I'm a Speedster now, okay? I can take care of myself." Jesse frowned

"I know, which is exactly why I need you to stay here. I mean, this city needs protecting while we're gone. Let's not forget we still have an evil Speedster on the loose. I need you three here."

Jesse frowned and nodded,

"Also of Julian asks, the three of us flew to Gotham for a business meeting with Bruce Wayne." Naruto said getting nods

Hour Later

Naruto had meditated for the hour, emerging himself in the power of Son Gokū feeling like his essence would be better suited for the upcoming company he would have,

"Hey, Nate. If you if you see my dad, just tell him-"

" You'll see him real soon, Jesse. Promise of a Lifetime." Naruto said getting a nod from Jesse as Cisco stepped forward

"All right, let's do this. Okay. Earth-2, here we come." Cisco said before he opened a breech and the three jumped into it

Earth 2, African Jungle

"Wow." Caitlin laughed looking around

"Well, we made it." Naruto said

"Welcome to the jungle, baby." Cisco nodded looking around, "Earth-2 Africa. Not hot. Guess global warming's not really a thing here." slapping a bug that flew to close he grimaced in disgust, "But bugs are."

"Okay rundown. So if Grodd is planning to attack, he's gonna need soldiers and to open a breach to our Earth, and the only one over here that can open one is-"

"Harrison Wells." Caitlin nodded

"Harrison Wells, yeah. So if we save him from Grodd, while exposing Grodd to the Alpha then we will prevent him from having the means to attack Central City." Naruto said

"No problem." Cisco said before the three began to trek through the forest

Earth 1, Uzumaki Labs

Whitney was walking through the hall when she ran into Julian, 'Hey Julian, how you doing?'

"Fine, uh where's Allen?"

"He, Caitlin, and Cisco went to Gotham for a business meeting." Whitney lied

"Hm, well tell him that I need to borrow the half of the Philosopher Stone he kept on Christmas. I want to run some test to see if it can help me find the other metas that came from the last 2 husks."

"You think that's a good idea? I mean last time you had the throne you were Dr. Alchemy." Whitney said

"I'll be prepared this time. I need to find those metas I created. For all we k ow they can be hurting someone or worst." Julian frowned

"Look, I get what your saying but wait until Nate gets back and you guys can talk about this, okay?"

Julian withheld his frown and nodded slowly, causing Whitney to smile before she walked off and with a from Julian walked to Cisco's workshop who had the stone last as he was working on creating a safe for it

Nursery Room

Jesse watched as Dash slept with a small smile on her face before Whitney arrived, "Hey." she greeted

"Hi." Jesse said as Whitney stood beside her smiling down at Dash,

"He's so cute, isn't he?" Whitney asked

"Yeah, Caitlin's going to have to beat the girls away with a stick." Jesse smiled causing Whitney to laugh slightly

"How're you doing?" Whitney asked frowning, watching as Jesse frowned before she made to speak, "And don't say fine."

"I'm scared." Jesse confessed as Whitney looked at her, "I helped my dad solve a cryptogram that lead him into an ambush by a super ape that wanted to lure a speedster from another Earth so that said super ape can lead am all put attack on Central City."

"You can't blame yourself for that. You had no way of knowing that this would happen." Whitney said wrapping an arm around Jesse's shoulder, "Besides, Nate went to save him, and that guy is the best."

Jesse nodded lightly, before Whitney took her hand

"C'mon, let's go for a run. It'll clear your head." Whitney said before the two left

Outside

Purple and bright Yellow lightning sped throughout the city as Impulse and Jesse Quick ran smiling before they heard alarms and skidded to a stop as two robbers ran out of the bank

"Didn't hear the news, huh?" Impulse asked

"What news?"

"You got to be a special kind of idiot to rob anything in a city with Speedsters protecting it." Impulse said

"Cute, but we got to get back to our friends. They're expecting us." the robbers said holding up their guns

"Yeah, they're stupid." Jesse nodded before they both sped forward

Jesse stepped on robber1's knee to flip and kick him in the chin sending him flying to the wall and slumping forward unconscious

Impulse slid between robber2's leg and came up before kicking him in the lower back as she spun and kicked him in the back of the head sending him into the same wall as his buddy

The citizens approached recording and cheering for them

"Oh, it's it's nothing to see here, guys. It's just a couple fools getting their asses handed to 'em." Impulse said as the citizens continued to applaud them as Jesse smiled

Earth 2

Naruto, Cisco, and Caitlin walked through the forest, before Cisco's device beeped, "We're close, guys."

"Wait." Naruto said looking around causing Caitlin and Cisco to go on guard, "We got company."

Feeling something cutting through the air, Caitlin summoned a wall of ice that blocked darts before she let it down so that Naruto could grab her and Cisco and speed out of the way as Grodd landed where they once were

"Grodd." Naruto said

"Welcome, Caitlin. Knew you'd come Flash." Grodd growled

"Where is Harry, Grodd?" Naruto asked

"Safe for now. I need your help."

"You kidnapped our friend cause you needed help?" Naruto asked

"You sent me here! Remember? To live in this hell! Where I am forced to serve under the rule of Solovar. Leader of Gorilla Kind. Ruler of Gorilla City. And now he wants to rule the humans. He will bring war to your Earth." Grodd said

"Liar." Naruto replied as Grodd glared at him, "Solovar has no beef with our Earth, you do. When you wanted Caitlin to repeat the process to give you more apes like you, you wanted soldiers to kneel before you."

Grodd growled seeing his lie not working, before they all looked up when an albino ape landed between them followed by other apes, "Solovar." Grodd knelled

"Kneel." Naruto said going to a knee and quickly Cisco, and Caitlin followed

Solovar looked surprised at the action of the humans kneeling, "Humans, why have you come?" he asked

"A friend of ours was lured here by Grodd and kidnapped, we just want him back." Naruto said

"Lies!" Grodd yelled

"Silence!" Solovar yelled back causing Grodd to grunt as Solovar looked back to the humans and narrowed his eyes

"You really expect me to believe that Grodd would betray me?" Cisco asked having been controlled by Solovar as he stood up and looked down at Naruto and Caitlin

"Grodd comes from our Earth. We thought he was lonely and sought to give him companionship, so we sent him here to live out his days among his kind in peace. Only Grodd didn't just want companions, he wanted soldiers, he's blinded by his hatred for humans that he doesn't care about anything else."

"You want to put him in a cage." Solovar said

"We sent him here to avoid that, but he still conspires against us." Naruto replied

"Take him out!" Grodd yelled causing Solovar to look up and see the apes picking up their spears to attack as Grodd ran for Solovar, "I challenge you!"

Naruto's eyes turned orange with white iris as he grabbed Caitlin and Cisco before a tower of yellow energy erupted from him causing the apes to halt as a monstrous presence made itself known

The apes watched as the pillar of energy morphed and a large yellow and black four tailed ape appeared and roared at them

The apes all kneeled as the avatar of Son Gokū towered over them,

Cisco, and Caitlin looked around in shock as they felt the power rushing through them

A clone appeared as Naruto grabbed the duo, "While we find Harry and any other human inside the city, get Grodd." Naruto whispered before he sped out of the back of the avatar and into the city where they saw the apes also kneeling

"I don't want any conflict with you or your people Solovar, but Grodd is a cancer to your rule. He will forever want to be in charge. He tried to get me to do it for him but I won't. He has challenged you for the role of Alpha, you fight and win I'll take him away where you will never have to see him again."

"If I lose?" Solovar asked

"You won't." Clone smirked as Solovar looked to Grodd and nodded

"Challenge accepted."

Gorilla City

Cisco looked back at the towering Yonbi avatar, taking a picture, "Yo, so how long have you been capable of that?" Cisco asked

"Never tried with anyone else's chakra before." Naruto said

"Well you sure picked a place to find out if you could." Caitlin replied as Cisco paused looking at a building, "What?"

"Let's check there." Cisco said before they all ran and entered to see Harry, and Gypsy unconscious, "Gypsy."

"Later, just open a breech." Naruto said getting a nod as he and Caitlin picked up Harry and Gypsy before they entered the breech with Cisco following

Arena, Gorilla City

Grodd growled as he glared toward the Clone as Solovar beat his chest before with roars they charged and slammed their shields into each other and took a step back before Solovar kicked Grodd in the chest sending him to the ground before he jumped atop of him as he stomped on him before he grabbed and tossed Grodd across the arena floor

Grodd got up and began to climb the wall to escape but Solovar grabbed his leg and began to punch him but Grodd landed a backhand that caused Solovar to fall back before Grodd jumped on him and began to punch him but Solovar kicked Grodd into the wall and got up before punching Grodd repeatedly and slammed his head into the wall

Solovar watched as Grodd fell forward unconscious, before he beat his chest and all the apes knelt down before him, before Clone appeared in a flash of speed, "Congrats." Clone said

"Take him away, he comes back I'll have his head." Solovar replied before with a shrug Naruto grabbed Grodd and sped off entering a breech

Earth 1, Uzumaki Labs,

Jesse, and Whitney sat on the roof eating Big Belly Burger, before Whitney spoke, "Jesse, if.. if you would, I want you to stay."

"I can't." Jesse said

"Why? Because of your dad?" Whitney asked

"No, I have responsibilities to my city, I've worked so hard to be accepted. After Zoom, speedsters pretty much were pariahs, but I've been gaining the cities trust and I can't just throw that all away no matter how much I want to." Jesse said

"Okay, then I'll come with you." Whitney said

"What? You can't what about Iris?"

"I have complete faith that Nate will save Iris. I love you, and I want to be with you. This Earth, or yours. Long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter." Whitney smiled

"But I saw you out there today being Impulse. Okay, and you were complete, Whitney. You were scary complete." Jesse said

"I could have all the speed in the world. I'm not complete without you." Whitney said getting a nod from Jesse just as an alarm was heard

Jesse smiled before they sped off into the breech room as Felicity, Linda, and H. and Jesse smiled as Naruto, Harry, Cisco, Caitlin, and Gypsy walked out

"Dad!" Jesse yelled as she and ran over to each other, "You okay?"

"Good, yeah." Harry said as everyone shared a hug, "I'm fine. I'm so fine, thanks thanks to our friends, our good friends."

"You're welcome, Harry." Caitlin smiled

"Wow, I I think I just forgot how handsome you were." H.R. smiled

"Oh, I forgot. He's- You're still here." Harry said

"Yeah. Still here." H.R. nodded smiling

"I guess we have your tactical and technical genius to thank for getting us out of that fix." Harry said as everyone shook there head

"No, no, nah." H.R said

"Nah?" Harry asked

"Nah. You were completely right about him. He's a total fraud. He's not even a scientist. And I'm sure you couldn't even remember an ATM code if you tried." Cisco said

"All those numbers." H.R scoffed

"It's only four digits. Why is he still here?" Harry asked

"Because while he isn't a genius he has been helpful. We couldn't do it without him." Cisco said

"I thank you, Francisco." H.R. bowed

"Fran Francisco?" Harry asked bewildered

"Don't ask." Cisco said turning to Gypsy, "You okay?"

"I owe you." Gypsy said

"Well how bout we go for a movie to celebrate your good health?" Cisco asked

"...I don't know, I have a-"

"Don't front. I can sense it. You're into me." Cisco said

Gypsy laughed, "Look, Cisco, I mean, even if I was-" Gypsy suddenly grabbed Cisco's face and kissed him causing the team to smile excitedly as she pulled away, "You couldn't handle me."

Gypsy released Cisco before she walked away, "Bye, guys."

"Bye." Naruto waved before he shit forward and wrapped an arm around Cisco's neck, "My boy!" he smiled which widened as he got memories from his clone that Grodd was now in a secure cell at Argus

"I'm going to marry that woman." Cisco said

"I believe it.' Naruto smiled

Team Flash all were happy and went out to celebrate the rescue of Harry and the thwarting of Grodd's invasion plan,

CCPD

Julian had been looking into the husk, wanting nothing more than to find all the metas he created and as he was getting the couch ready for a quick nap he planned on taking he turned around and gasped in shock as The Rival appeared, "Hello Julian." Savitar said possessing the speedster

Julian frowned, "Savitar."

"Yes. I have need of you again." Savitar said before he held up the Alchemy mask

"No. I'd rather die." Julian frowned

"Precisely my plan." Savitar said as a vibrating fist ripped Julian's heart to shreds, watching as Julian's corpse collapsed, Savitar walked to the desk and reached I to Julian's jacket pocket and pulled out the half of the stone that Julian stole

"With this, I will be free. Thank you Alchemy." Savitar smirked.
