CHLOE HADN'T EVEN said goodbye to Iris as she got into her car and sped to STAR Labs. She needed to tell the team what had happened, unless Iris had already put it on her blog, but Chloe hoped Iris wasn't that stupid.
Turns out she was as Chloe speed into where Girder was, seeing Caitlin, Cisco and Barry all around a tablet. Chloe rushed in, and sorta shouted, "I swear to fuck! If Iris put it on her stupid little blog!" That got the threes attention, as they turned to look at the angered redhead, who was blowing a strand of her wavy hair out of her face. "Guess who I just ran into?!" She didn't give them time to guess, "Tony fucking Woodward."
"We figured that from what Iris posted on her blog." Cisco pointed out, putting his hands in front of his body as if to say "We know". "Not helping, Cisco!" Chloe hissed to the long haired man. Cisco simply put his hands up in surrender while Chloe let out a small amused smile to her friend.
"I guess you're going to go see Iris now, huh, Streak?" Chloe questioned, taking a huff of breath as she stood next to him. All Barry did was stammer in response.
BARRY DID GO see Iris, though it was later after Jitters closed. And as Barry and Iris' conversation ended and Barry started to run in a direction that was not STAR Labs, the three got worried.
"Barry talk to us. What are you doing?" Caitlin questioned, concerned. Barry didn't answer as he kept running.
"Dude, don't run angry. We don't know how to defeat him yet." Cisco pointed out as Chloe let out a frustrated sigh. She was already handling her stupid crush on Captain Cold; She saw Barry's old bully earlier today - a man which she still very much hated - and now Barry was going to get his ass kicked by said old bully.
"Barry, after Tony kicks your ass, I'm coming and I'm going to beat the crap out of you." Chloe warned, before adding, "So stop fucking running and come back to STAR Labs!" But Barry didn't come back, as he stopped at a place in Keystone.
"This is definitely the place." Barry finally spoke.
"Barry you better come back here right now! Or I'm finding fucking Leonard Snart and taking my Cold Gun back and shooting you in the chest with it, and then I'll shove it so far up your ass that you'll choke on it!" Chloe yelled out. Barry didn't answer, although her comment got a small smile from Caitlin and a snort from Cisco. "I'm not joking!" She added in a hiss. Suddenly there was a loud crash and Barry's coms went out. "Shit! Barry?!" Chloe called out, before looking back to her friends, "Guess were going to find my stupid ass brother." She sighed.
NOW IN KEYSTONE, Cisco, Caitlin and Chloe we're all calling out for Barry.
"Barry?"
"Barry where are you?"
"You better not be dead, you asshole!" Guess who said the last one.
Suddenly Cisco called out to the two females, "Guys! Over here." And he led them toward a shelf that had collapsed on top of Barry.
"Barry? Please say something!" Caitlin gasped.
"Barry this isn't funny! You better say something!" Chloe yelled, as she got down and helped Cisco to get Barry out from under the shelf, hearing him groan in pain.
"Say something so we know you're okay!"
"Ow."
Chloe snorted, despite the circumstances, "Really?! Barry, "Ow." Really?"
"Get him out of there." Caitlin told Cisco, urgently. They got him out of the rubble and off to face the wrath of Dr. Harrison Wells they went.
"WHAT WERE YOU thinking?! I told you that we would figure out a way to deal with him!" Dr. Wells yelled at Barry.
"I'll heal." Barry told him.
"You could've died, Barry! Hell even I'll admit I may have beat his ass in the past, but he's made of metal now! Metal!" Chloe shouted at Barry, trying to show him how much it would break her if he was to die, again.
"You can't heal when you're dead." Wells told Barry coldly. "He could have killed you." Dr. Wells added less harshly.
"I know, alright. I know!" Barry yelled to him. "In the past 36 hours I've had my ass handed to me twice by the same guy that tortured me as a kid. I couldn't stop him then and I can't stop him now! Even with my powers I'm still powerless against him." Barry argued.
"Not necessarily. Cisco?" Dr. Wells asked before adding, "Any material, if struck at a high enough velocity can be compromised."
"We ran an analysis on the metal in Tony's footprint. Based on its density and atomic structure, if you impact it at just the right angle, at just the right speed, you could do some serious damage." Cisco told him.
"How fast would I have to go?" Barry's asked.
"Factoring in the metals tensile strength, estimated dermal thickness, atmospheric pressure, air temp, you'd have to hit him at approximately..." Cisco tapped a key on his computer before reading aloud, "Mach 1.1."
Barry scoffed.
"You want Barry to hit something at 800 miles an hour?" Caitlin asked in disbelief.
"837, actually."
"That's faster than the speed of sound." Caitlin exclaimed.
"I know. He would create a sonic boom, which as I've said before, would be awesome." Cisco told them, excited.
"I've never gone that fast." Barry shook his head at Cisco.
"Yet." Both Dr. Wells and Chloe told him.
"I can't believe we're actually entertaining this idea. I mean he'd need a straight shot from miles away." Caitlin said in disbelief.
"Yeah, 5.3 miles. . Theoretically." Cisco told her.
"Do it right, you'll take him down." Dr. Wells told Barry.
"It could work." Chloe told him.
"Do it wrong, you'll shatter every bone in your body." Caitlin explained, making Barry look away. Chloe thought over the options and for once she wasn't as. worried as to what the negative would be, Barry could take Tony down.
He would take Tony down, once and for all. That, Chloe was positive of.
