I Need You » SuperFlash {3} | √

not in vain

Waterfront

The Flash, Supergirl and Caitlin were all standing on a dock, looking at the waters, staring at a dummy that looked like The Flash. Then Dig and Lyla walked up to them. "What exactly is that?" Dig asked.

"That, my friend, is bait," Barry said.

"You made a Flash lure?" Lyla asked.

"It's the best I could come up with given the time frame. It's rigged to mimic and enhance the electric field Barry's body generates. King Shark takes one whiff of that, cue the Jaws soundtrack. Also stuffed it with enough tranqs to knock him out for a month," Cisco said on comms.

"Should make him a lot easier to reel in," Kara said.

"And that container. Strong enough to hold him once he's sedated?" Dig asked.

"It's made of promethium metal. It's impenetrable," Harry said on comms.

"Meanwhile, we'll be able to keep track of King Shark with this, and the cameras that are on the lure. Whatever he does, we'll have eyes on him," Caitlin said.

"All right, then. Let's go fishing," Lyla said.

"Caitlin, I don't understand why I can't be the one playing Quint in this scenario. I should be the one out there, not you," Cisco said on comms.

"I need to do this," Caitlin said.

"You know Quint dies, right?" Harry said on comms.

"Water is this monster's natural habitat. He's gonna be a lot stronger here. You sure about this?" Dig asked and Barry nodded.

"This ends tonight," Barry said.

Hours later, everyone was still waiting and searching. "Maybe he's not gonna fall for this," Dig said.

"He's a shark. He'll come," Flash said then Supergirl pressed her comms.

"Anything, Cisco?" She asked.

"Uh, nope, nothing that looks like it could be him," Cisco said.

"You programmed the satellite though, right?" Harry asked.

"Yes, Harry," Cisco said.

"I mean, you punched in the correct parameters?" Harry asked.

"You're insulting my intelligence," Cisco said.

"But they've been waiting for hours. Did you punch in the correct parameters?" Harry asked.

"I know they've been out there for hours, but you're insulting my intelligence with this, okay? I know. Okay," Cisco said.

"Hey, you set the right distortion scope, right?" Jesse asked and Cisco gave the two a look.

"Oh, for real? Okay. You know what, we're gonna play a game here. It's called, if you're from Earth-2, you're gonna be quiet, okay?" Cisco said.

Supergirl walked up to The Flash with a worried look. "Hey, Barry, are you okay?" she asked.

"Ever since Zoom beat me here and on Earth-2, I've been running away from things, instead of towards them. That needs to change," Barry said.

"We'll get you back there," Kara said.

"I know," Barry said before he sighed shakily. "But I wasn't just talking about Earth-2." Kara faced him nervously. "Kara," he said before he took her hand. "I've pushed you away so far that I would think you'd want to stay away from me. But you don't, you keep on running back to me, and I don't deserve it. I don't deserve you. I think I-" Barry started to say.
