Barry P.O.V:

The nasty blow to the robbers gut sent him to floor, knocking the wind right out of him. He rolled over to his stomach and used his forearms to try and crawl away. I casually walked by him as he continues to crawl in hope of getting away from me.

The sight of this would have made anyone laugh, but all I felt was pity for the guy. Well, until I remember what he was doing only moments before.

"You do realize I'm the fastest man alive, right?" I ask. This was followed by a few mumbled curse words that slipped from the robbers lips. I reach down and grabbed the guy from his jacket collar and helped him to his feet quite roughly in order to make a point. "You most also know that you're quite a terrible robber since you tripped the silent alarms."

"Who are you to judge what I do for a living? Look what you do for a living." she guy scuffled as I procced to drag him to a waiting cop car outside of the jewelry store the man was previously trying to rob.

"I think you need a new occupation. Once you get out of jail of course." I tell him as I hand him over to the grateful cop. I watched as the cop hand cuffs the thief and ushers him into the backseat of the car.

"Thanks, Flash." The cop says. "We need more people like you around here." I reply with a smile and turn to be on my way, but stop when I hear the cop radio turn on. The cop leans into the car to see what's the commotion and mumbles a few words to whoever is contacting any cops in the area. When he pops his head back out I wait to see what's up.

"Looks like the fire alarm was pulled at the power plant at County Heights." says the cop as he hops into his car. "I better get going."

"Yeah." I reply as he puts on this police lights and speeds off into the night. "Then I better get going too." With that, I'm running as fast as I can to Country Heights.

"Where are you going?" Cisco ask through my earpiece sounding slightly worried.

"Country Heights alarm went off." I state.

"I'm sure it's under control. You put away like ten bad guys today. You should head home and rest or we can watch a marathon of Star Wars at my place." Cisco says in a rush. He sounded a bit off, but I decided to ignore it and focus at the task at hand.

"Maybe another time, Cisco. I'll be quick."

"Bu-" I tuned off my earpiece and continued to keep running. I know it seemed mean, but I didn't need Cisco telling me to not help whoever is in danger. If someone is in need of help then I'm going to help.

When I get to the power plant I notice two girls outside in a restricted area. Based on how they are dress, they diffidently don't work here. One girl had hair as white as snow and wore casual attire while the other wore an impressive body suit that was dark blue, highlighted with silver detailing. It took me a while to recognize who she was.

Spark.

They were facing toward a worker of the power plant and before I knew it the girl with white hair hand ignited with electricity and threw a ball of light at the worker. I didn't waste no time at all to run over to the guy and grab him away to safety. As I was doing so, I saw Spark bring up her hands and absorb the ball of light before it can even make it's way to the initial target.

I placed the man down and he looked very startled.

"What the hell?" he yelled.

"You okay?"

"Does it look like I'm okay?"

I glanced over at the girls to see them in a heated agreement which then lead to an all out fight. I told myself to go over there and help Spark, but my feet were practically glued to the cement floor. I just watched, not really sure of what to do.
