Chapter 4: Midnight

Start from the beginning
                                        

"How could you forget her so easily?! How could you forget the blood on your hands!" Snart says, freezing Barry's legs in place. "I will finally have vengeance for my sister!" He says as he raises an icicle in the air, but his revenge is cut short as Frost nails him with a blast of ice. Barry shakes off the shock of everything and vibrates through the ice. "I'm not going down that easily!" Snart screams and sends Barry flying onto an overlooking balcony in the ballroom with a huge blast of ice.

Frost creates a huge slide made of ice and Barry leaps off the balcony, sliding down the structure and turning 180, chucking a bolt of lightning at Snart which puts him down for good. Barry flashes to get a pair of meta cuffs and returns to slap them on Snart. "I've waited so long, I can wait a little longer." Captain Cold whispers as the police stuff him into a car and began their journey to Iron Heights.

"Damn what a good show!" Barry hears Sionis laugh. He had stayed here this whole time when he could've escaped? This is all just a sadistic game to him. Frost freezes the chandelier of the ball room before hitting it with a ball of ice, letting it crash against the floor. "I might have bluffed abou the two bombs!" Barry turns to look at the gas that starts filling the ballroom as it pours out of the chandelier.

In a flash, Barry sets the last person outside before he returns to the ballroom as it fills up with gas and looks it over. Barry runs around and shuts the windows to prevent further spreading. "Okay, let's see, the composition of this means that the only way to stop the further spread of a chemical is to..."

"You have to freeze it!" Barry turns around and Frost walks over to him with her arms swinging alongside her, eliciting a smirk from the scarlet speedster. Her hands rise up and the air fills with icy mist and then spreads to cool the chemicals to a level where they no longer able to contaminate anybody.

The helicopter begins to rise up off of the rooftop with some of Roman's men on the roof. They point their guns in wait. A crimson figure shoots out and disarms the men in a blink of an eye. Barry punches them out and secures them to make sure they cannot get back up and cause him any trouble.

"Oh, you just won't give up, will you?"
Black Mask dangles Iris out of the helicopter after finishing strapping a vest onto her for a little added trouble. "All I have to do is pull the pin and I paint the town red with her blood. And I'll do it too. You know that..."

One second, Iris is in Sionis' hands and the next second, she is ripped from his grip. Iris collapses down on the roof with the vest lying dismantled next to her. Now, Flash gains the necessary momentum and rushes up. He lands the helicopter and pulls Black Mask out of it in a blink of an eye. Roman skids all the way across the rooftop.

As Barry moves closer Roman pulls a gun out of his coat from pure instinct and before he can fire the first bullet, The Flash snatches it out of his hand and delivers a punch. Barry pulls him up and slams him against a wall before running him down to the ground right into the waiting arms of the Central City Police Department. "Fun's over, Sionis."

Barry speeds back to the rooftop, helping Iris off the ground. she immediately goes to capture his lips but Barry pulls away instantly. "But I- I thought...?" She stammers.

He shakes his head. "We're done." Barry says simply as he flashes her to the street before giving Frost a lift back to Star Labs. As they cone to a stop in the Cortex Barry yanks his cowl down, letting out a heavy breath as he sits down. White locks fade away as Caitlin assumes control and takes a seat next to Barry.

"Are you okay?" He hears her ask suddenly, and he jerks his head to meet her concerned eyes.

"What do you mean?" He squints his eyes at her in confusion. Caitlin reaches over and runs her fingers through his beard to show her point. "Oh, I- I just haven't really give it much though. I haven't cared enough to shave it."
