The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (Male Reader Insert)

6.12 Challenge of the Speedsters

Y/N and his team were getting things in order, trying to come up with a plan to defeat Zoom. With all they were doing, they were surprised he had yet to show up. It was almost as if he had disappeared after Y/N's speed was reignited. The group all sat around in the lab trying to think of their next plan of action.

Patty: Y/N's got his speed back, plus a little more. Can't we just find him and grab him? I'm sure Y/N is faster now,

Wells: Which means that he is all the more appetizing for Zolomon. With Y/N's new surge of power, it seems logical to assume Zoom is trying to think of his own way to extract it for himself. 

Cisco: Plus, we have no idea of knowing where Sonic the Devilhog is. We need to lure him out somehow.

Y/N: What about a race? Like I said, it'd lure him out. His ego is too big to let him sit back on such a challenge.

Wells: Yes, but then what? We just beat him to a pulp? You may be fast, Y/N, but Zoom will find a way to get faster. There's no way of telling if your current speed will be able to match his.

While they were talking, Caitlin's eyes wandered around the room. They stopped and landed on the vial of blue Velocity-9. Cait pondered for a moment. She got an idea.

Caitlin: Maybe we don't have to. 

Cisco: What do you mean?

Cait walked over to the blue vial. She picked it up and proposed her idea aloud.

Caitlin: The Velocity-9 in Zoom's body is causing his cells to rapidly degenerate. The more he consumes, the quicker his body deteriorates. 

Y/N caught on to what she was saying.

Y/N: So if we can get him to take more than he needs, inject a large dosage into his system...

Caitlin: ...it could actually cause his body to completely disintegrate

The others all looked around. Joe exhaled and looked over at Y/N.

Joe: That would involve killing him. Are you sure you want to do that?

Y/N thought for a moment. With a heavy heart he shook his head.

Y/N: No. But he's already proven that there's no light in him. This is the only way to keep this city safe. To keep everyone safe. We need to do this. 

Everyone nodded in agreement. This was something that had to be done both for their own safety as well as the world's. With that, the team got to work. They put together the formulas that they needed and mixed all the necessary chemicals. After getting everything in order, Y/N delivered his message.

The streets of Central City were still overrun with metahuman criminals. Street corners burned, tops of roofs were destroyed, scared civilians hid wherever they could. The criminals all laughed and chuckled in their new playground. That was until all the television screens throughout the city were taken over. A familiar face appeared on all of them, one sporting a pair of goggles and a silver winged cap.

Y/N: Attention Central City, I deliver this message to one person and one person only. Zoom. Your reign over this city is over. You claim to be the fastest man alive. I'd like to see how true that is or if you're just another crying poser. I challenge you to a race. S.T.A.R. Labs. You know where to find me. This ends now.

With that, the video feed ended. All the criminals looked around. Their confidence was shaken. The Flash was back. Some of them argued they should attack him now since they know where he is. Others were intimidated by the recent storm over S.T.A.R. Labs as well as the speedster's tone in the video. He didn't resemble the typical calm or friendly demeanor they had learned to associate with him. He sounded pissed, like nothing was going to stand in his way.
