Flash Vs Arrow

2 Weeks Later

Naruto's Apartment

Naruto ripped through his city, as he returned from his lap around the country, skidding to a stop in a alley, he panted for a bit, before he lifted an arm to look at the speedometer watch Cisco made for him, to see that he had reached Mach 2.1,

In the month that has passed since he's returned Naruto had kicked his training into high gear, with a goal in mind besides his revenge, he had noticed that he was slower than his Six Paths Sage mode, he wanted to regain that speed and go beyond it,

His first step was a gravity belt, he had invented with some of the supplies he had got from Earth 38, the necklace was made from Nth metal an alien metal on Earth 38, it was unbreakable and had could defy gravity, but a little tinkering and some nanotechnology bonded with the belt thanks to Jeremiah allowed him to raise, and lower his own center of gravity with it, so far he was under 10x Earth normal gravity

His second step could only be performed in crazy thunder storms, where he stood in a field surrounded by lightning rods, and dodged or cut the lightning strikes, a painful but worthwhile exercise

His third step had to deal with vibrations, if there were other Earth's out there, it would be cool to go to them to see what things he could pick up, and who knows some of them might have a way to reactivate his chakra network, and if that happened then he'd really be at peace.

His newest project was Molekinesis, and Stealing Speed from objects, although he was putting as much time into those as he should since he was busy enhancing the range of his chronokenisis,

Looking up, he was about to take another lap when Cisco got in touch with him "Nate, bank robbery in progress at Cunningham and Sampere."

"Got it." Naruto said before he sighed and zipped off

"Wait, that's where I bank." he heard Caitlin say

"Once super thieves showed up, I went mattress."

Naruto smiled and continued to run, before he made it to the bank just as a gunshot went off, quickly he entered to see a bullet headed toward a man, and ran forward to catch it, before he snatched the gun from the woman and was on the balcony looking down as everyone seemed to come to their senses

Later

C.C.P.D

Naruto was sitting at Joe's desk waiting for him and Eddie to come out of Singh's office, as he sat with nothing to do, he couldn't help but think of the case he worked before he was struck by lightning in Starling City

Flashback

Starling City

Queen Applied Science Devision

S.C.P.D along with their CSI's we're canvassing the building while Captain Lance, briefed Oliver, Diggle, and Felicity on what they had so far, unknown to anyone in another part of the warehouse Naruto had snuck in, and was examining the crime scene

Standing up, and walking around where the industrial centrifuge was ripped from the ground Naruto, noticed the footprints left in the ground by one guy, as well as the scent of one man as well "All evidence points to one guy doing all this, but to steal an industrial centrifuge means he had to be at least as strong as I am. Could this be what old man Ivo was looking for, his miracle drug?"

Naruto paused in his investigation when he caught a familiar scent causing him to look up and walk toward it where he heard "This is what we're able to pull off the security cameras...He was the only guy we got on video. The rest of the crew must have come in after him."

"Actually, it was only one guy." Naruto said causing everyone to turn to him,

Felicity gasped in shock seeing Naruto who smirked at her

"Who the hell are you?" Officer Lance asked as Naruto walked over

"And do your parents know that you're here?" Oliver asked

"That was as funny as the last time you said that Oliver." Naruto said causing Oliver to look confused as Naruto turned to Lance "Officer Lance, nice to see you again, I think since last time you threatened to castrate me."

"...Your that Allen kid, Sara's friend." Lance said

"Nathan, yeah." Naruto nodded

"What are you doing here?" Lance asked

"I'm with the Central City police department. The crime scene investigation unit. S.T.A.R. Labs had a break in with some similar unexplained elements in Central City, so when the report of your robbery came over the wire, my captain sent me up here." Naruto lied convincingly

"And you think one guy ripped through this door like it was tin foil?" Lance asked

"One very strong guy, yeah." Naruto said pulling out his tablet, before he showed them the picture of the guard that was killed causing them to get closer "It takes about 1,250 foot pounds of torque to break someone's neck. You see the marks on the guard's neck? The bruising pattern suggests the killer used only one hand."

"Uh, we're going to need a list of the entire inventory here to figure out exactly what was stolen." the CSI said getting there attention

"A centrifuge." Naruto said causing everyone to turn back to him before he led them to where he was earlier "An industrial centrifuge. Probably the Cord Enterprises 2BX 900. Maybe the six series. Both have a three column base. Here, you can see the three sets of broken bolts where the thief just ripped it out of the ground."

"And what exactly is a centrifuge?" Lance asked

"It separates liquids. The centripetal acceleration causes denser substances to separate out along the radial direction."

"And lighter objects move to the top." Naruto added as an afterthought looking at Felicity "Still the nerd I see."

Felicity tossed her pen at Naruto who caught it "I'm guessing you two know each other?" Oliver asked

"Vividly." Naruto said causing Felicity to blush before she cleared her throat "Anyway, you can see the cracks heading towards the door. Footsteps. One guy."

"There has to be another explanation." Lance asked

"There's always is." Naruto said with a shrug, as Lance walked away with Felicity using his acute hearing he heard what was said, as he looked down to Oliver

End Flashback

Naruto was knocked out of his trip down memory lane, when Iris walked up to hear muffled arguing from Singh's office "Hey. What's going on in there?"

"Eddie's trying to convince the Captain that The Flash is public menace." Naruto shrugged

"Excuse me?" Iris asked upset, before Eddie walked out causing her to walk over "So after weeks of my trying to convince you that The Flash is real, now that you finally do believe me, you're trying to have him arrested? What the hell?"

"Thanks, Nate." Eddie said looking over to Naruto

"No problem." Naruto waved

Eddie looked back to Iris "Don't worry about it, The captain shot me down. Look, I'm not feeling like lunch. See you later." he said before he left

"He's just jealous." Iris said to Naruto who raised an eyebrow

"Of The Flash?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow before he sat up looking as if he came to a realization "Oh my god, Iris is hot for red speedster."

"No." Iris said shaking her head only for Naruto to give her a look "I'll see you later."

"To go call your new crush?" Naruto asked causing her to blush before she hit him causing him to laugh as she walked away

"Nate, you need to get to S.T.A.R. Labs." Joe said

"Got it." Naruto said getting up and walking off, before he paused and took a photo of Singh eating his burger before he sent it to Singh's boyfriend, after a few minutes he watched as Singh got a call and he left

S.T.A.R. Labs

Naruto was at the lab, with Cisco and Caitlin looking over his shoulder as he told them of something he wanted to make for the team, as well as for Arrow's team as well, an A.I.

Before he could go into further detail however Wells entered "Anger, hate, aggression."

"A Jedi craves not these things." Cisco said imitating Yoda, causing everyone to look at him "No one is feeling that quote?"

"Everyone in the bank went total savage for, like, five minutes. And then they were fine again." Naruto said

"Anger can be a powerful emotion." Wells said something Naruto knew very well "If this meta-human can engender irrational feelings of anger in his victims, he can do a lot of damage."

"Detective West helped get a copy of the CAT scans the hospital did on everyone at the bank." Caitlin said walking to the computer "Take a look."

Everyone looked at the CAT scans "Well, look at this, the emotion centers of the brains are still showing signs of being overwhelmed. Particularly the area that controls executive function." Caitlin said

"The part of the brain that stops people from doing whatever random and potentially destructive thing that pops into their head."

"How do you think the meta does it to them?" Cisco asked

"Who knows it could be through his voice, eye contact, mental or physical. Until we actually see him in action we'll just have to tread lightly." Naruto said before he looked to his phone to see Iris wanted to meet the Flash, "Hey, if you guys figure it out, just give me a call, okay?"

"Is The Flash off to another rooftop rendezvous with Iris?" Caitlin asked a bit jealous

"No, I'm going to go work out." Naruto said with a smile "I'll see you later."

Later

Just as he said, Naruto skipped out on going to talk to Iris although he did leave her a cell phone that was untraceable, she had called and tried to have an entire conversation but he made an excuse that he was busy with another meta human,

Currently Naruto was doing one handed push ups, with his gravity belt, weighing him down, 15x normal gravity, was putting pressure on his body, so he couldn't speed through this exercise, his belt had advanced on its own as soon as he finished the Salmon Ladder, which caught him by surprise

"298...2-299...urk...300!" Naruto collapsed caked in sweat, panting as he tried to move his hand to his belt to cut it off, and after a trying time he finally did so, he really needed to put in a voice command function on this thing.

"Nooooo!" Naruto screamed in annoyance when his phone began to ring, "Hello?"

"Nate, The police got a ping from the tracer hidden in the stolen cash. SWAT team's closing in on the 1600 block of Pass." Cisco said

"On my way." Naruto said but he could hardly move, as his muscles were still so stiff, so speeding up the process of his muscles he climbed to his feet, and settled the gravity belt down to 10x if he was used to it, might as well get faster under it,

1600 & Pass

Naruto skidded to a stop at the storage unit to see Joe and a few SWAT team members had stopped the meta human watching as Joe ordered one of the SWAT team members to cuff, him he noticed how the man stopped before his eyes glowed red

"Certo, what are you waiting for? Cuff him!" Joe said

"You don't tell me what to do." Certo said tuned on Joe and the others before he cocked his shotgun

"Get down!" Joe yelled just as Certo fired

Naruto sped in and grabbed Joe and the others before he got them out of the way, "You alright?"

"Yeah." Joe nodded

Naruto turned around and when he was about to speed forward and arrow was fired taking out Certo who was knocked unconscious

"Seriously?" Naruto asked looking to the corner where Oliver dressed as the Arrow was

"Nice mask!" Oliver complimented before he showed off his athleticism and left

Flashback

Naruto groaned awake, last thing he remembered was getting ready to board his train, back to Central City than a dart ended up in his neck, blinking the blurriness from his vision he saw Oliver on the table unconscious with Diggle and Felicity standing over him

"Nate, please help me save my friend." Felicity pleaded

"What the hell have you gotten yourself into, Felicity?" Naruto asked looking at Oliver's unconscious form, before he got up when he began to thrash "Hold him!" He ordered Diggle

"He's not going to make it." Diggle said as he and Felicity grabbed Oliver

"He will. We just have to find out what's in his system." Naruto said before he began to check Oliver over "All right, I can think of four possible diagnosis for what's causing his body to react this way. 3...Two. Diggle start chest compressions."

Naruto walked over to get a syringe and came back before he stuck it into Oliver's arm, and drew some blood "Got it. He's suffering from intravenous coagulation."

"What?" Diggle asked

"His blood is unnaturally clotting. It's like maple syrup." Naruto said showing them the filled syringe

"You can save him, right?" Felicity asked

Naruto looked around before he saw a box of rat poison "Lucky you guys have a rat problem." he said walking over and grabbing it,

"Are you kidding? That'll kill him!" Diggle shouted

"He dies if I don't." Naruto said as he walked over with a syringe "Just the right amount of this stuff will thin his blood enough to get it circulating again."

Naruto stuck Oliver with the syringe and after he stopped thrashing he appeared to reach out for something before he went unconscious

Few Minutes Later

Naruto yawned as he began to take a fingerprint off, of Oliver's neck, when Oliver's arm shot up but he caught him by his wrist, and placed his fist on his chest to keep him down

"He's up." Naruto said as Diggle, and Felicity turned to see Oliver trying to get up so he could fight Naruto

"Oliver!"

Naruto stepped away, when Felicity and Diggle came over and watched as the vigilante got up "What the hell is going on?" he asked

"You were injected with a strong-acting blood coagulant." Felicity said

"You would have stroked out, but fortunately you had a very effective blood thinner handy." Naruto said causing Oliver to turn toward him

"Kid saved your life, Oliver." Diggle said only for Oliver to remain silent

"This is the point in a lifesaving emergency where you thank the person that did the lifesaving." Felicity said before Oliver turned to her

"You told him who I am."

"Yeah, I did." Felicity nodded

"That's not your secret to tell, Felicity. I decide who finds out my identity." Oliver said upset

"Well, we didn't have time to get your vote, what with you unconscious and dying." Felicity defended herself

"What happens if he leaves here and goes right to the police?"

"I/He wouldn't do that." Naruto, and Felicity said at the same time

"I trust him." Felicity added

"I don't!" Oliver shouted

"What are you going to do, put an arrow in him?" Felicity asked

"I am considering it." Oliver said looking to Naruto

"I liked to see you try." Naruto baited

"Don't worry, he's kidding!" Felicity said standing in front of Oliver who glared at the smirking Naruto "How is this any different from when your mother shot you and you came to me for help?"

"Your mother shot you? Damn." Naruto said

"Or when you brought Dig down here when he was poisoned with curare." Felicity continued

"The difference is that I did my homework on both of you! I don't just tell people easily." Oliver snapped

"Hey!" Naruto said stepping up "I'm not going to tell anyone. And you don't have to thank me, but you should thank her instead of being a dick."

Oliver, turned to step to Naruto, but as soon as he was within arms reach, Naruto grabbed him by his neck and lifted him clean off the floor

Oliver grunted in surprise as he looked down at Naruto "Apologize to her, for helping save your life, Mr. Queen."

Oliver looked to Felicity and forced out "Thanks for saving my life."

Naruto dropped Oliver who coughed "Your still weak, you may experience hallucinations, and an increase in sweat. Take it easy." he said

Oliver looked at Naruto before his phone sounded off

End Flashback

Outskirts of Central City

Abandoned Warehouse

Diggle and Felicity were eating as they waited for Oliver to return "It's kinda comforting to know that no matter what city you go to, Big Belly Burger is always going to taste like Big Belly Burger." Felicity said sipping her soda as she looked up at the stars

"You mean full of grease and salt?" Diggle asked causing Felicity to turn to him

"I thought those were the secret ingredients." Felicity said before she turned around when she heard the roar of a motorcycle "Oliver's back."

Suddenly Naruto appeared munching on a burrito, cause Diggle to jump in surprise throwing his frys in the air "By the way, I gave Oliver, like, 1/2 hour head start."

"Hi, Nate." Felicity grinned as Naruto finished his burrito and tossed the wrapper

"Hey, Felicity." Naruto said before he looked to Diggle who was staring at him in shock "How you doing, Dig?"

"You're fast." John said causing Naruto to look to Felicity

"Did you guys not tell him about me?" Naruto asked

"Seeing is believing," Felicity shrugged before she looked to Diggle's face "or Drooling."

Naruto chuckled before he looked back when Oliver parked and walked over "Hey, thanks for showing up back there, but I had that."

"Uh-huh." Oliver nodded

"What, I was getting ready to make my move." Naruto said

"What move?"

"The one you would've seen of you didn't shoot the arrow at Certo, but anyway what what are you guys doing in Central City? Have you found Sara's killer?"

"No, we're still looking, but we're working a case." Felicity said pulling out a boomerang "Suspicious homicide in the styling where the murder weapon is a boomerang."

"Cool." Naruto said picking it upbefore he saw Oliver frowning "What?"

"I found traces of iron oxide on it. I know it's a long shot, but Central City has the highest concentration of iron oxide in the country."

Naruto raised an eyebrow "It's vibrating." he noticed

"We were following up a lead when we heard the S.W.A. over the radio, and I thought that I would come by watch you make your move."

"Or steal my thunder." Naruto shot back causing Oliver to snort as he smirked

"I had a cousin got hit by lightning once." Diggle said suddenly getting their attention "He just developed a stutter."

Naruto, Felicity, and Oliver shared a glance, "That's...interesting." Naruto said slowly "Well, my team and I are after a meta-human who makes people angry."

"Cool." Felicity said causing Oliver to look at her "What?"

"Uh, well, since you guys are here, why don't we team up? I'll help you find your boomerang man, you can help me find my super rage-a-holic." Naruto said since it might be more interesting to deal with this meta

"We'd love to." Felicity said excited

"No, we'll handle our business and head home." Oliver said causing Naruto to shrug

"The fastest way to find out everything we need to know about the boomerang is to sic S.T.A.R. Labs on it." Felicity said

"Enough people know my secret identity." Oliver sighed

"Fine I'll go. They already know who I am. I will meet up with you later." Felicity said walking over to Naruto

"See ya later." Naruto said picking up Felicity and speeding off

"Man, that's not freaking you out?" Diggle asked pointing

"Let's go." Oliver said walking away

Moments Later

S.T.A.R. Labs

Naruto stopped in the cortex and sat down Felicity "That will never get old!" Felicity said before she looked down and gasped when she saw her jacket on fire "My shirt's on fire!"

Felicity made to rip off her shirt but Naruto stopped her and took her jacket before he left and returned with a new better jacket for her

"Sorry about that." Naruto said as Felicity took the jacket, before he looked to Caitlin and Cisco "You guys remember Felicity?"

"Hi, Felicity, it's so good to see you." Caitlin said walking over "What brings you back to Central City? Not Nate?"

"No, just a well appreciated coincidence, I'm actually here because of this." Felicity said pulling out the boomerang

"Awesome!" Cisco said with a gasp as he began to examine it "What are the wings made of?"

"Not sure I'm thinking some sort of composite or high-density plastic reinforced with carbon fiber."

"It vibrates, also, Cisco could you run some test?" Naruto asked

"Of course!" Cisco said giddy as he walked to his workshop while Felicity smiled as Naruto looked to Caitlin

"Hey, you guys come up with anything new on our meta?"

"The officer who was affected tonight says he saw a flash of red before he lost control." Caitlin said

"So eye contact, great." Naruto sighed because he didn't have enough enemies with eye based abilities

"Oh, Dr. Wells, and Detective West, wants to see you." Caitlin said causing him to raise an eyebrow

Moments Later

Naruto walked into the room to see Joe, and Wells waiting for him "Why do I feel like I just got called into the principal's office?"

"Starling City vigilante." Joe said

"What about him?" Naruto asked

"We don't trust him." Wells said simply

"Ok, and?" Naruto asked

"Nate, he was wanted for murder in at least 12 different cases dating back three years." Joe said

"There's been at least two major terrorist attacks in Starling since he became active."

"He might not kill people anymore, but what about all the criminals that he put arrows through? Those, what, don't count?"

"He's a hero, Joe." Naruto said

"You're a hero, Nate. You offer protection, hope, light. What that man does is carry out a dark reckoning for his city. It is a brutal, violent vision of justice, one we do not share." Wells replied

"I'm not a hero, I'm just a guy who was struck by lightning, whose mission is to find Eobard." Naruto said causing Wells eyes to widen "My speed helps me do that, and when I find and kill him, my atonement will be helping people.

I'm a grown ass man, I decide who I chose to associate with, no one else, and if you guys don't like it, keep it to yourselves and deal with it, cause I don't care." Naruto said before he walked off

Joe sighed before he looked to Wells who was frowning deeply "Told you, no one tells Nate how to live his life."

Cortex

Naruto walked into the cortex, just as Caitlin ran by him screaming causing him to raise an eyebrow before he looked to the side to see the boomerang headed for him, quickly he caught it between him fingers, just as it was about to pierce his forehead

"That's my bad." Cisco said causing Naruto to look at him "That's on me."

Naruto shook his head and handed the boomerang back to Cisco

"I'm out of here, see y'all tomorrow." Naruto said walking away, followed by Felicity

"Hey," Felicity said causing him to look at her "I heard, what happened. Your really planning on killing that guy."

"Shouldn't I be?" Naruto asked

"You're sounding a lot like your friend Sasuke." Felicity said causing Naruto to stop and turn to here

"Sasuke, betrayed his home, and friends in his pursuit of Itachi, I'll never abandon my friends, especially you." Naruto said causing Felicity to smile

"Naruto, remember that you need the man alive so you can free your dad." Felicity said causing Naruto to nod

"First I need to find him, he's had 14 years to strike again, but he hasn't, he's probably gotten faster, and stronger, I need to be ready, so far my only advantage that I know I have is that he may underestimate me. I just need to be ready."

Felicity nodded before she wrapped her arms around Naruto's before he sped off toward his apartment

Next Day

CC Jitters

Naruto walked into Jitters having been called by Felicity to see Oliver and she at a table "The bad guy that you're after, the one who robbed the bank, his name is Roy ."

"Uh, thanks. I thought you didn't want to help."

"I'm not. It's just a name." Oliver said

"That still sounds like helping." Naruto said before Oliver could reply Iris walked over

"Hi." Iris greeted as Naruto backed up

"Hey." he said as she placed down the mugs

"One non-fat latte, extra sugar for Felicity, and one coffee, black, for Oliver." Iris said serving them before Naruto leaned forward

"Your staring." He whispered causing her to slap his arm

"I brewed you a fresh pot, so,"

"Thank you." Oliver said smiling

"Yeah. Nate, um, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah." Naruto said as Iris kept staring at Oliver

"Bye." Iris said

"Bye." Oliver smiled as Iris and Naruto. Egan to walk away

"You did not tell me that you knew Oliver Queen." Iris said slapping Naruto's arm

"He dated Sara's sister, Laurel." Naruto replied

"Oh, my God, he's even more handsome in person. And his arms are, like, the same size as yours." Iris said

"I think mines might be bigger." Naruto said as Iris hopped in front of him

"He's on my three list."

"What's a three list?" Naruto asked

"My list of three guys I'm allowed to cheat on Eddie with." Iris said

"Really."

"You usually don't meet people on your list, but now here he is, and I just cannot stop staring at him." Iris gushed staring at Oliver with a breathless sigh before Naruto flicked her foreheard "Ow!"

"Your really creeping me out." Naruto said

With Oliver

Felicity held her mug as she stared at Oliver which he noticed "Felicity, this is me noticing you staring."

"We need to help Nate with his case." Felicity said causing Oliver to sigh "Why don't you want to help?"

"Because Nate doesn't really want my help." Oliver said

"Harrison Wells and Nate's guardian both said you were dangerous and a bad influence. He defended you."

"You're going to hock me about this until I say yes, aren't you?" Oliver asked causing Felicity to smile

"I'm a hocker." Felicity said causing him to sigh and get up before he walked over to Naruto who was walking back over

"Okay." Oliver said

"Okay, what?" Naruto asked

"Okay, we'll help you catch your bad guy." Oliver said

Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked over Oliver's shoulder at a smiling Felicity "She did her hocker, thing didn't she?" he asked causing Oliver to nod with a sigh

Later

Outskirts of Central City

Oliver was waiting for Nate, who skidded to a stop and began to walk toward him "You're late. Nate, how can you have super-speed - and still not be on time?"

"I was visiting my dad, in prison." Naruto said

"Oh." Oliver said before he turned to Naruto "We're here to train."

"What?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow

"I read your friend Iris' blog post on The Flash, and I visited all the crime scenes you fought at. Last month you took on a man named Lenard Snart."

"We call him Captain Cold." Naruto said

"We can talk about you giving your enemies silly code names later."

"You mean like Deathstroke and The Huntress?" Naruto asked crossing arms over his chest

"The point is that you engaged Snart on a commuter train, which he derailed."

"Which happened before I could make a move to stop him, after talking failed."

"Barry, when you approach a new environment, do you case every inch of it? You could. You have the time. But you don't. You just run in blind."

"This talk seems familiar." Naruto thought remembering a conversation he had with Jiraiya

"There's a difference, Nate, between having powers and having precision. You need discipline. And since you are probably as stubborn as I am," Oliver walked over to his bike, and grabbed his bow, and notched am arrow

"What is that for?" Naruto asked

"You're going to run over there, you're going to come back at me, and you're going to get hit with an arrow."

"You think so?" Naruto smirked

"Yes, I do." Oliver grinned

"Okay, fine, let's see." with a quick shift of his foot Naruto was a mile away "Ready?"

"Ready." Oliver said aiming at Naruto, before he shot at him, but Naruto caught the arrow

"Nice try." Naruto smirked before Oliver pressed a button, and Naruto easily spun around and grabbed the two arrows flying at him from behind in midair "You know it's bad to underestimate people right?"

Oliver shook his head and placed his bow down before he turned to Naruto who tossed him the 3 arrows,

Naruto and Oliver would spend the next 2 hours sparring in hand to hand combat

Later

S.T.A.R. Labs

Felicity stood in the hallway watching as Wells rolled away after he tried and failed to get her to tell him who the Arrow was, looking up she saw Naruto come in "Hey. How'd it go with Oliver?"

"Not bad actually."

"Oh, did he really do the thing with the arrows?" Felicity asked causing Naruto to stop and look at her

"You knew he was going to try to shoot me?" Naruto asked

"Whoa, it is practically impossible to tell when Oliver's making a joke." Felicity said putting her hands up in defense

"You do realize that I'm going to get you for not telling me right?" Naruto asked before Felicity to try to talk him out of it Cisco called out

"Hey, we just got a ping from the facial recognition software on Bivolo, aka, Prism."

"Since when do we have facial recognition software?" Caitlin asked

"Happy Chanukah." Felicity said walked over to Caitlin

"Where can I find him?" Naruto asked

"Traffic cameras just caught him entering a residence at 168 Jarvis." Cisco said

"We should let The Arrow know." Felicity said

"He's kinda stitching himself up." Naruto said

"What?" Felicity asked

"We were sparring, and he brought out his arrows, and I may have used one or two to defend myself." Naruto shrugged "Anyway, I'll be back." he said before he sped off

168 Jarvis

Naruto phased through the door, and began to look around, when he heard "I knew you'd be coming for me. I could see it in your eyes at the bank. When I turned those people against each other, it made you angry." Roy said

"Right, your coming with me." Naruto said before he sped toward Bivalo and grabbed him by his jacket before he slammed him into a wall causing his glasses to come off, showing his glowing red eyes

Roy glared at Naruto who began to blink rapidly "You, have some real anger." he said before he made to leave but a hand grabbed him by his neck, and began to squeeze, looking to the red suited man Roy saw his eyes were red, but they were different as I'd they belonged to an animal

"I grow tired of you rogue metahumans." Naruto said before he snapped Bivalo's neck

Later

S.T.A.R. Labs

Felicity, Caitlin, Cisco, and Wells had been in the cortex trying to get in touch with Naruto but he wasn't responding on the coms, and the tracker in his suit placed him still at the building where Buvalo was, so they all with the exception of Wells decided to see if he was alright,

Arriving at the building they entered to see Bivalo dead, with Naruto's emblem and coms on the ground, immediately they had began to work on finding the speedster, but his phone was off, and the Arrow hadn't seen him

Looking up they saw Joe walk in "Is Nathan here?" he asked

"No, we've been trying to find him, I was just about to call you to see if you had heard from him." Felicity said

"I haven't talked to him, but according to Captain Singh he just called and quit the C.C.P.D." Joe said

"He wouldn't do that, being in the C.C.P.D helps him free his dad from prison." Felicity said

"Yeah, I thought I'd check here before I head to his apartment." Joe said

"I'll go with you." Felicity and Caitlin said together but before they could leave Naruto sped into the cortex with white lightning trailing him instead of the usual yellow

"Nate!" Joe said as Naruto put in a drive into the computer before his fingers bits a crossed the keyboard

"Hi, Joe." Naruto said as he worked

"Singh said you quit the C.C.P.D, why?"

"That's because I decided to focus all of my time in finding the man responsible for shattering my family." Naruto said simply

"What happened with Bivalo?" Wells asked

"He didn't want to come in peacefully." Naruto said

"What are you looking for?" Felicity asked watching as the files sped open and closed on the monitor

"The energy that's bonding to my cells, I'm writing an algorithm, that'll blanket the city to find anyone with a signature remotely similar to it." Naruto said

"And if it doesn't work?" Caitlin asked

"Then I'll lure him out by going after his family." Naruto said, causing Wells to freeze

"Nate, are you hearing yourself, you can't do that."

Naruto stopped and turned to look at them allowing them to see his glowing red eyes that caused their eyes to widen "Either back me up, or stay out of my way." he said before he snatched his thumb drive "Don't interfere in things that don't have nothing to do with you, this man targeted my family, and the longer he draws breath is a slap in my face. That ends today."

Naruto sped away, causing everyone to look at each other in worry

"This is bad," Joe said turning to the scientists "The longer you suppress your emotions the bigger the explosion. And Nathan has a lot of anger, it's why he meditates. Considering what he can do, how do we even stop him?"

"A cold-gun would come in real handy right about now." Cisco said

"Hey." Joe said glaring

"I'm just sayin'." Cisco said

"None of us can stop Nate. Fortunately, Felicity knows someone who can. I think you better call Oliver Queen. We're gonna need The Arrow's help." Wells said smirking while inside he was a wreck, if Nate's algorithm worked he could be found out, if it didn't the consequences were worst

Naruto's Apartment

Naruto was pacing as his laptop ran a search using the algorithm he had made, hearing hearing a beep he walked over to his laptop and sighed in annoyance, the algorithm seemed to follow his trail, all around central city with the two main points, his home, and S.T.A.R. Labs

Slamming his laptop shut he began to pace, before he stopped and looked to the picture of him, and Iris "Eddie." he smirked sinisterly

Elsewhere

Iris and Eddie were in the car, driving to Eddie's apartment while, Eddie flipped through stations in annoyance at his task force being denied again,

Iris glanced to her boyfriend and asked"Is this your way of telling me that you want satellite radio for Christmas?" before Eddie turned off the radio "Look, I am not mad at you."

"Good, 'cause there's no reason you should be." Eddie said

"Eddie, both you and The Flash care about protecting this city. You would both give your lives for it. You're more alike than you think, okay? He's not the bad guy."

"How do you know so much about him, Iris?" Eddie asked

"He got in touch with me after I started the blog, and I've seen him a couple times." Iris said with a sigh

"A couple times? Why didn't you tell me about this?" Eddie asked aghast

"Well, given the fact that I think he's a hero, and you want to put him in jail, do you really need to ask that question?"

"How could you ever think I would be okay with this?" Eddie asked before the window shattered and he was grabbed and thrown to the ground while Iris slammed on the breaks

"I've heard you've been looking for me." Naruto said

Eddie was watching Naruto in shock before he looked behind him to see Iris watching, so he pulled out his gun

"Guess you haven't read your girlfriend's blog." Naruto said

"Eddie, no!" Iris screamed when Eddie took aim and fired, but the bullets were caught by Naruto

S.T.A.R. Labs

John had joined everyone at the lab, waiting for them to come up with a plan, before an excited Cisco walked over to him "Ooh, see I knew The Arrow was Oliver Queen. I mean, I had it narrowed down to, like, a list of 150 people, but he was definitely on that list."

Diggle stared at Cisco before he looked to the others "Do you have a way to stop Nate's rage-fest?"

"I have an idea about how to do that. Joe, we're gonna need your help." Wells said

"We need to find him first before he hurts somebody." Joe said

"I have him." Felicity said pulling up surveillance footage "Facial recognition picked him up on a traffic camera downtown. Oh, God."

Everyone gasped when they saw Eddie on the ground before he shot at Naruto who caught the bullets

"Joe let's hurry." Wells said urgently before he and Joe left

With Naruto

Eddie got up and charged at Naruto, who sped in and kneed him in the gut, causing Eddie to haunch over with spittle flying from his mouth,

"Eddie!" Iris screamed in worry

Naruto grabbed Eddie by his face, and lifted him up into the air before tossing him back into a building causing spiderweb cracks to form and Eddie to slide down to the ground

Iris quickly ran to get between them "What are you doing?" she asked before she saw his eyes "What has happened to you?"

"I feel fine." Naruto said

"You are not fine." Iris said

"How would you know? Because you write about me? You don't know me! You don't know who I am. You never did. Now move!"

"I know that you have risked your life to help people, to save them! Someone who does that does not suddenly turn around and want to hurt people. Please."

"You should leave, Iris. Things are about to get bloody." Naruto said walking passed her but before he could get closer to Eddie he caught an arrow heading for him bUT a second arrow wrapped around his arms

Iris looked over into an alley to see the Arrow "Run!"

"Eddie, run!" Iris said running away to her car

Naruto looked to Eddie who was using the wall as leverage to get to his feet "Catch you in a bit, Eddie. We're going to talk about your friend in the yellow suit."

Eddie left as Naruto turned to Oliver "You need to calm down."

Naruto burst from the wire, and was in front of Oliver in the blink of an eye "That man you momentarily stopped me from attacking is the only lead I have to the man who murdered my mother, and brother. You are just like me we both witnessed the death of people precious to us, and we only have one family member left that we'll do anything for, my father has spent the last decade plus behind bars for a crime he didn't commit."

"I know where, your coming from,"

"Good." Naruto said turning and walking toward where Iris and Eddie had driven off to but two arrows to the back stopped him causing him to fall to his knees feeling drowsy all of the sudden

"But you'll never forgive yourself if you kill an innocent man." Oliver said before he watched in surprise when Naruto pulled out the two arrows filled with horse tranquilizer and began to vibrate causing a green mist to rise from his body before he turned to him with the arrows

"You shouldn't have done that." Naruto growled

S.T.A.R. Labs

"I just hope they can turn Nate back before he kills Oliver." Caitlin said beside Cisco and Diggle

"Me, I'd be more worried about what Oliver might have to do to Nate." Diggle said

"Barry has superpowers. Oliver has a bow and arrow." Caitlin replied with a raised eyebrow

"Do you have any idea how many people Oliver has killed with that bow and arrow?" Diggle asked turning to her

"Recurve bow arrows can travel up to 300 feet per second, so, like, 200 miles an hour. Nate can run faster than Mach 2. And punch a hole through reinforced steel." Cisco said

"Whatever. Oliver's been doing this a lot longer. My money's on experience." Diggle said turning back to watch his friends fight

"My money's on speed, and strength." Cisco said watching as well

"Please tell me you're not actually having this conversation right now." Felicity said worried knowing that chances were high that Naruto not thinking straight would kill Oliver

With Flash and Arrow

Oliver watched as lightning began to arc off of the arrows Naruto was holding before he tossed them at him, quickly he dropped to the ground and looked back when he heard something heavy falling, to see the top of his motorcycle had been severed from its bottom half

"Never look away from your opponent." Naruto whispered in Oliver's ear,

Oliver turned with a swing, that Naruto blocked before he connected with a jaw jarring hit that sent Oliver rolling away

Oliver groaned as he flexed his jaw, before he climbed to his feet and shot 3 arrows at Naruto that he cut with a swip of his hand before he held his arm to the side, and a long blade of lightning extended from his hand

S.T.A.R. Labs

"I thought Nate only had super speed?" Diggle asked watching as Naruto began to walk toward Oliver with his lightning sword cutting into the concrete easily

"He does, but he's been using his lightning in ways we never thought he could." Caitlin said in shock at the ability as well

"Oliver do not take a single scratch from that!" Felicity said

Flash v Arrow

"I'm not going to kill you, Ollie, your my friend, so I'll paralyze you for a couple hours." Naruto said before Oliver began to fire every arrow he had, which Naruto began to slash, before he lunged at Oliver who rolled out of the way, but his leg was nicked which caused it to go numb, before he stabbed Naruto through the leg with his last arrow,

Naruto shouted in pain, as the arrow went through his leg, canceling out the sword, he clutched his leg, "That was dirty." Naruto grunted snatching the arrow from his leg,

"I still believe in you, Nate." Oliver said trying to get feeling back in his leg, as he watched Naruto stand up

Naruto looked at Oliver, before he heard a truck coming and turned around to see Joe, and Wells in a van heading for him, "I grow tired of these annoyance." he said darkly Naruto threw up his arm before lightning needles began flying at the van

"Joe!" Wells shouted before Joe turned the car, just as some of the needles hit Wells in the shoulder causing him to scream in pain,

Oliver grabbed Naruto and forced him to look at the machine in the back of the van as colors began to flash

When the machine stopped Naruto groaned clutching his head "Nate, you okay?" Oliver asked

"I thin-" Naruto couldn't finish as he collapsed to his knees hacking up blood,

"Nate!" Oliver screamed as Joe hopped out of the van, and ran over to check on him as well

Naruto was breathing deeply as he raised a hand "I'm good." he said breathing deeply

Wells in the van looked to his numb arm at the lightning senbon, before it faded it away, Nathan Allen was very dangerous indeed, a monster who has only been using his powers for not even 4 months now, and yet was advancing in unprecedented ways,

S.T.A.R. Labs

Felicity sighed in relief, along with Caitlin as Cisco looked to Diggle "So It was a tie."

With Naruto

"Guys, I'm so sorry." Naruto said

"It's ok, it's not your fault." Oliver smiled, as Naruto shook his head, before Oliver and Joe helped him to his feet

Next Day

S.T.A.R Labs

Naruto was sitting outside, when Oliver, Felicity, and Diggle walked out having said goodbye to the others upstairs "So?" Naruto asked Oliver

"You're right, there is something off with him." Oliver said

"I don't know what it is, but I feel like trusting him would be a grave mistake." Naruto said

Later

CC Jitters

Naruto, Felicity, and Oliver walked into Jitters to see Iris, and Eddie talking "Well I guess one good thing came from this."

"What's that?" Felicity asked

"Iris, decided to stop writing her blog." Naruto said before Iris walked over

"You guys heading home?" Iris asked

"Yeah, we could use some Javas for the road." Felicity said

"I will hook you up." Iris said before she and Oliver walked away, leaving Naruto to turn to Felicity

"I'm sorry you had to see that." Naruto said, sitting down

"It wasn't you." Felicity said

"It was, Felicity. No matter what, I will forever be Naruto Uzumaki, murderer, trained assassin, human sacrifice.11 years with memories of a loving mother, and father, and a little brother isn't enough to change that. I may have lost my own power but with my new abilities I might be less dangerous then I could be at full power, but I am dangerous non the less. If I would've hurt you."

"You didn't. I know that you'll never hurt me." Felicity said cupping his cheek, "Don't focus on what happen when you were whammied, focus on the good you can do for the world and the fact that I still love you."

Naruto smiled slightly "And I will strive to make sure you don't ever stop loving me."

Naruto kissed Felicity's lips before he turned to Oliver who walked over "You know, I can run you guys home right?"

"The train would be fine." Oliver said

"I'll get you a new bike." Naruto said

"I'm counting on it," Oliver said shaking Naruto's hand

"Tell Laurel, I said hello, and don't screw it up this time."

Oliver snorted and with a nod he walked away with Felicity who waved to Naruto

Iris walked over as Naruto watched his friends leave "Hey, I heard you quit the C.C.P.D"

"Yeah, cleaned out the lab, earlier." Naruto said nodding before he looked to her "Has your speedster come to apologize?"

"He tried earlier, but I told him not to contact me. You were right he's dangerous."

"Well, all he did was kick Eddie's ass, so as long as he didn't touch you, I'm cool."

"How can you say that?" Iris asked

"With my lips." Naruto said with a shrug as he began walking deeper into the store with Iris.
