Hi again...ever since so many people wanted a sequel here is one! ^^ A big thank you to sweetchick621 for helping come with this plot. :D So anyways in this story there is one OC (created by me and sweetchick621). The OC is the villain in the story. Anyways hope you guys like it! Oh and to everyone who reviewed on Flash Flood...thank you! All your reviews meant a lot to me! Before I bore you...here's the story! R&R!

"Ha! I beat you!" Cisco whopped throwing his hands up in the air.

He and Barry Allen were playing a 'friendly' game of paddleball in order to test how much Barry's speed had improved. Unfortunately on this round Barry had lost.

"Oh that is so unfair..." Barry grumbled.

"Whose the champion paddleball player!?' Cisco smirked.

"You are..." Barry muttered rubbing his forehead.

Great...he was going to hear about this for weeks.

"Hey man...want to do one more round?" Cisco grinned, "Loser on this one has to get the pizza next time we order?"

Its about time he suggested that! Barry hated having to deliver pizza constantly. It was rather difficult to grab the pizza from the counter and leave behind the exact amount of change while moving at super speed.

"Oh you are on!" Barry smirked.

Cisco used the paddle to launch the ball right toward Barry. Barry hit it back but unfortunately used his super speed to do it. Cisco ducked and covered his head with a yelp as the ball came streaking toward his head with the force of an artillery round; it sounded like one to. The ball implanted itself in the wall behind him leaving a good size hole as the wall blew out. Dust floated everywhere. Cisco started wide eyed at the hole knowing what probably would have happened if it actually hit him.

"Cool it with the super speed would you?" Cisco frowned dropping his arms to his sides.

"Sorry..." Barry said sheepishly.

He glanced at the paddle in his hand and saw it had cracked almost in half. Then he glanced at the hole which was slightly smoking. The ping pong ball had disintegrated on impact leaving behind scent of something burning. Opps..

"Alright you two...I think that is enough," Catlin sighed looking up at them from the computer, "I'm pretty sure Dr. Wells is not going to be happy when he finds that hole."

Barry and Cisco already had gotten in trouble for using the drones with lasers during a training period a few days prior. They didn't need another slip up. At least Dr. Wells wasn't present this evening so they wouldn't get in trouble that quickly.

"You mean if he finds it,' Cisco smirked.

He glanced at Barry who nodded and grinned. Catlin must have figured out the message because she started to say, "Don't even..."

Barry quickly patched up the wall with some superglue and with the chunks that had crumbled to the ground when the paddle ball hit it.

"Think about it..." Catlin finished uselessly seeing he was done before she finished her sentence.

Barry grinned and sat down in a nearby chair. The wall had been patched but if you were to look a little closer at it you could see the cracks in it. But it would prevent them from getting in trouble for a little while.

"What? The wall is patched!" he exclaimed when Catlin gave him her death glare.

"You two are impossible..." she muttered stacking some papers together.

At least Dr. Wells wouldn't find out about the hole for a while...unless Catlin told him.

"Hey out of curiosity I'm kind of wondering how Percy's doing," Cisco said setting his ping pong paddle down slowly.

Did he have to suddenly bring that up? Barry rolled his eyes.

"Of course you do...," Catlin snorted," You just want to meet his friend."

"Heck yeah I do! After what Percy told me about him I think he and I can make some pretty cool stuff," Cisco said smugly, "Maybe he could help me rebuild these laser drones."

He indicated a pile of metal in the corner that must have been part of a machine at one time before it got blown to bits.

"Which brings us to the subject of doomsday," Catlin said dryly.

Barry just shook his head and recalled what had happened nearly a month earlier. They had met a kid named Percy Jackson who could control water and claimed he wasn't a Metahuman. They had offered to find his girlfriend who had been kidnapped by one of the Rogues. After succeeding Percy told them the truth about how he had his powers. He was a demi-god; half god half mortal. And if that couldn't be weird enough he said that his father was one of the Greek gods...more specifically Poseidon. Since then they hadn't heard or seen the kid. And there was no mysterious occurrences of things out of the ordinary. In other words no new Metahumans with weird powers that were past even Barry's standards.

One downside to the kid's explanation of the Greek myths being real was having Cisco talk nonstop about for days. Upside was that Percy finally told the truth.

"Hey!" Cisco pouted in response to Catlin's comment.

"Hey what? You know it is true! Dr. Wells specifically told you not to build any more laser drones!" Catlin grumbled, "Not after you nearly burned Barry's arm off with the last one!"

"It didn't almost burn my arm off...I totally avoided it," Barry muttered.

He didn't mention that it actually had burned him but only slightly.

"See!" Cisco said pointing at him, "He wasn't harmed."

"Um yeah...then why did I have to bandage his arm up after the training exercise?" Catlin scowled.

Barry just rolled his eyes at them and leaned backwards in his chair savoring the temporary peace and quiet for a moment. He jumped suddenly when the crime monitor started beeping. That noise was so annoying...especially when it was right next to his head or more specifically his ears.

"Robbery at Central City bank," Cisco said looking at it.

This late at night? It had barley turned nine o' clock!

"So much for a relaxing evening," Barry muttered getting to his feet, " I was looking forward to the ability to get home early and sleep."

He quickly put his super suit on and zipped out of the room. Papers were sent cascading every where making Cisco scramble to pick them up.

"Barry...be careful. For all we know the robber could be another Metahuman," Catlin cautioned over the headset as Barry ran down the street.

Good point...but there hadn't been any new ones for a while. But it was still a good idea to be cautious.

"Got it..." Barry muttered swerving to avoid a car.

He soon appeared at the bank and tried the doors. They were locked. How did the thief get inside? Barry quickly ran around the building scanning the windows. All were locked and none of them were broken. The police were not on scene yet...fortunately or unfortunately.

"Hey guys? You sure the call wasn't a prank?' he asked," The bank is completely locked up."

"Um...dude...someone inside the bank triggered the silent alarm," Cisco said, "So it isn't a prank."

"How the heck do I get in?" Barry asked.

"Vibrate the doors open...duh," Cisco said.

Barry just shook his head regretting that he had used that power to open up Cisco's apartment door that tended to get stuck at odd hours of the night. Now Cisco constantly had to remind him of it. But he did vibrate the doors open anyways; much easier than fazing through (which was one experience Barry did not want to repeat). Once the doors swung open Barry stepped inside. The first thing he noticed was the bank was completely dark. No security lights at all. The only light came from the street lights outside. And on top of it, it was cold. Like a numbing cold.

"Um...guys? The power is out," Barry said rubbing his arms to keep from shivering, "And it is really...cold in here."

Why would the bank owner leave the lights off?

"How is it cold?" Catlin asked shocked, "It is the high seventies outside."

"No idea..." Barry muttered.

"Hang on..." Cisco's voice came, "I will try to hack into the lightning system and turn the lights on."

Barry heard the sound of a switch being pressed. The lights came on but for some reason remained dim. The temperature also slightly lost its chilliness. Barry caught sight of a security guard stretched out on the floor. He raced over to the man and checked the man's pulse. There was none. There were markings on his neck telling that he had been strangled by something. His eyes were slightly opened as if in terror.

"Guys...there is a dead security guard," Barry said sadly, "Someone strangled him."

"Any sign of the robber?" Catlin asked, "He must be the one who did it."

"No..." Barry looked around, "I'll look around."

He quickly raced throughout the entire building searching everywhere. But he couldn't find anything. Off in the distance he heard police sirens implying that the police were coming.

"Hang on...I might have found something,' Barry said noticing the vault door.

It was open. He cautiously walked in and looked around. No one was in there but several bundles of cash were missing.

"Someone was defiantly here..." he said looking around one more time.

Strangely it seemed that someone was still there; there was the sound of someone breathing. Barry glanced up at the ceiling and saw someone drop down on him making both crash painfully to the ground. Whoever it was scrambled to their feet and took off running before Barry could recover.

"Barry?" Catlin asked worried.

"Ohhhh," Barry groaned clutching his head while sitting up, "Found him..."

He got to his feet and blocked the robber's escape route through the entrance of the bank. But he discovered the robber was a young woman maybe twenty years old. She had long spiky dark black hair that covered part of her face and her eyes were black. Not a dark brown color but a rich black color, the color of obsidian. Her skin was pale making her look kind of like a vampire. All she needed was some fake fangs and she could have played the part for Dracula's bribe just fine. A pale jagged scar zigzagged across her right cheek; directly beneath her eye. She wore dark clothing; all completely black. Even her jeans were black. Where do you get black jeans? Barry was slightly taller than her but it still didn't stop her from sneering at him and raising her head in a haughtily manner.

"Back the hell up," she snarled while taking a step back, "Who ever you are."

"You seriously haven't heard of me?" Barry asked with slight mockery.

"Oh I've heard of you," the woman smirked coldly," That still isn't going to stop me from stealing this cash."

Barry just shook his head and ran to grapple her. Something dark in color tripped him and he barely managed to catch his footing. But before he could move again the woman trust out her right hand. A dark mass the size of a softball collected in it.

"Uh..." Barry stuttered.

The woman flung the mass of darkness at him; hitting him in the chest. Barry flew back several feet hitting a wall before the mound of what ever it was disappeared. He slumped to the ground and clutched his chest. What ever that mound was it had broken several ribs. Great...he found another Metahuman...just his luck.

"What just happened? Your vitals spiked," Catlin said worried.

"Another...Meta...Human," Barry panted getting to his feet.

He glanced up at the woman. She backed farther away from him a sneer covering her face.

"Listen...I have some friends that can help you," Barry soothed stretching a hand out towards her.

She flickered her hand and another black mass flew at him. Barry managed to dodge it barely. It slammed into a nearby desk splintering it. Some much for a peaceful approach. This woman was crazy. At least with Percy he didn't try to hurt Barry when trying to escape.

"I'm warning you...Speedy...come near me and I'll...," the woman started.

Barry managed to rush toward her before she finished and get her in a grapple. She stomped on his foot and he released her with a painful grunt. The woman lashed out trying to strike him but Barry managed to avoid her blows. He managed to hit her in the middle of her back before she spun around to confront him.

"Oh...so you think you're fast don't you?" she sneered.

Barry smirked at her, "I'm faster than you."

"But not fast enough to dodge this!" she grinned widely stepping back.

He lunged at her. The woman held up her hand and a wall of darkness appeared in front of her. Barry tried to stop but still slammed into it; hard. He bounced back about twenty feet and landed on his shoulder as well as his left wrist.

"Barry!" Catlin cried over the microphone.

Barry groaned and curled up in a fetal position. That hurt...like a lot. His wrist must have become broken when he slammed into what ever that was because it was throbbing like crazy. Although he had to admit it wasn't as painful as getting thirteen fractures from punching Tony but this was bad enough. Barry felt blood trickle down his cheek letting him know he had received a wound on his face when he hit the ground. He looked up at the woman who looked down at him with a smug sneer on her face. Glancing behind her he saw that the wall he had slammed into had disappeared. He glowered up at the woman who gave a ghastly grin in return.

"To da lo!," she cackled waving to him, "I hope you like my going away present!"

Her entire body turned into a living silhouette and melted away. What in the world? And if it couldn't get worse the lights went out. The entire bank went completely black. Even the street lights outside went out. In the distance Barry heard car alarms going off and people yelling in panic. It was so dark that he couldn't even see his hand in front of his face. He groaned again and struggled to his feet. The chilly temperature came back. It felt like he was standing in a catacomb.

"Barry?" Catlin's voice was quivering.

"What?" he asked stepping back away from where he thought the woman had been standing, "I'm fine. The crook got away though."

And all he had a chance to receive was a new collection of bruises, a cut on his cheek, a couple of broken ribs, a sore shoulder, and a broken wrist. Oh and not to mention a splitting head ache. Not really helping his self esteem.

"Um...no you aren't fine but that is not what I'm talking about," Catlin gulped.

"Then what are you talking about?" Barry asked rubbing his sore shoulder.

"Where you are..." Cisco swallowed hard, "There is a power outage for about two miles. I mean no lights at all...even the car lights are out. It...seems like this part of the city part of the shadows."

"What were you thinking?" Dr. Wells snapped.

"Ow..." Barry grimaced as Catlin dabbed Neosporin on the nearly healed wound on his cheek.

"Sorry..." she winced apologetically.

Who said Neosporin didn't sting when it came in contact with a cut?

"Well?" Dr. Wells demanded.

"Ok...first of all how was I supposed to know that this...woman was able to do this?" Barry grumbled holding a bag of ice to his forehead to relieve his head ache.

He managed to race back to S.T.A.R Labs despite being in pain from his injuries. Dr. Wells arrived in the main computer room about half an hour after Barry arrived. No doubt Catlin and Cisco had alerted him to Barry's injuries.

"He does have a point..." Catlin admitted, "We didn't even know that this was a Metahuman. We thought it was another normal robber."

She finished wrapping a new bandage against Barry's chest; the first one had been too tightly wrapped. He groaned in pain as the ribs that were broken started to mend. They would need at least another hour to heal completely. Barry glared down at the brace that was attached to his broken wrist. It was healing but rather painfully. His bruised shoulder had healed but it still throbbed slightly.

"So what exactly did this Metahuman do?" Cisco asked.

He leaned against a chair.

"Ugh..." Barry moaned before sitting up in the hospital bed on which he had been reclining, "Well...first off she managed to some how collect a mass of darkness in her hand. And when she threw it at me...it became a solid only for a few minutes before dissolving. Then she managed to make a wall of the same substance and I unfortunately slammed into it hence the reason I got these injuries. And she also managed to extinguish the light in the bank as well as the surrounding area. Oh and not to mention she literally turned into a shadow and disappeared before my eyes."

"Interesting..." Dr. Wells mussed.

"So cool! She can control darkness evidently!" Cisco grinned crazily.

He didn't say any more which was a relief; it was super annoying when he compared Metahumans to movies. Slowly Barry shrugged on his shirt trying to move as slowly as possible to lessen the slight pain emitting from his shoulder.

"No...its not cool," Barry scowled when he was done.

He rubbed his shoulder. Also he couldn't help but shake the feeling that this woman probably took the lights out at the bank before strangling the guard. Then his phone rang. Barry answered it.

Hey, Barry...I need you to come down to the bank because..." Joe started.

"Yes I know...," Barry grumbled, "I was there about an hour ago responding to the robbery call. I will be there with my equipment in a minute."

He hung up and regretfully put the ice bag down. At least the head ache was fading but it was still there. As long as he didn't have to hear any loud noises then it would be ok.

"While I'm there check the security footage,' Barry said putting on his jacket, "Maybe it will shed some light into what happened."

He made sure that the jacket covered his wrist to hide the brace. Barry quickly picked up his briefcase that was full of his equipment.

"I sure will," Cisco grinned throwing his hand up in a mock salute.

Unfortunately when he did that he had been holding a pen; it flew out of his grasp when he threw his hand up. The pen slammed into the patched part of the wall making it crumble exposing the hole from earlier. Catlin faced palmed.

"Um...I'll be leaving now," Barry gulped.

He took off. Cisco grinned sheepishly. Dr. Wells turned towards him and gave him an annoyed look,

"When did that happen?"

"Um...' Cisco couldn't say anything; his face turning beat red from embarrassment, "I'm just gonna...look at the security footage...heh."

~~~...~~~

Barry came to a stop in an alley way by the bank. He glanced around to make sure no one had noticed him before walking towards the bank which had its lights back on. Even the street was brightly lit. He glumly jogged up the stairs at a normal person's speed towards the entrance of the bank.

"When did the lights turn on?" he asked Joe who was approaching him.

Around him several cops were guarding the bank vault while others started questioning people who had been outside the bank when Barry arrived earlier. He winced knowing that they would be saying that The Flash had been there...which was basically saying he had been there. The security guard had been covered in a yellow tarp hiding his identity. The chill that had been in the bank earlier had subsided but only slightly.

"About an half an hour ago...they were out for an hour," Joe responded looking at his watch, "When the lights went out it gave the officers on the way here quite a scare."

"Why?" Barry asked.

"Their car lights went out...and they didn't want to hit anybody so they had to stop their process," Joe answered, "In fact every light in the entire city went out. But the power was still on which was strange."

Evidently the woman could make sections of the city black out but only for a little while which was good news. Barry set to work on examining the security guard. He took samples of the fingerprints that could have been on his neck unless the woman had strangled him with something else (which was highly probable). Barry also found a single black hair caught on the bank vault door. He quickly stored it in a bag in order to extract DNA to find out who this was.

"Are you ok?" Joe asked Barry.

Barry followed his gaze and saw that Joe was looking at his brace on his wrist.

"Yeah I'm fine," Barry muttered pushing his sleeve up to cover it, "Just a few broken bones...but they'll heal."

Joe understood immediately what he meant.

"So um...what did you notice about the robber? Normally you wouldn't get injured unless...well," Joe started to say in a hushed whisper before he cut himself off.

Barry glanced around making sure no one was listening.

"She is a Metahuman...I'll give you that much," Barry replied in a hushed tone.

Joe nodded with a worried expression on his face. Then Barry's phone rang again. It was Cisco.

"Dude...get to S.T.A.R Labs pronto. You might want to check out the security footage," he said, "Oh and um...Dr. Wells found out about the hole and he is mad...really mad..."

Barry groaned, "I know...I was there."

"Maybe I should stop talking ever since he is right next to me...Catlin to," Cisco said nervously.

He hung up but not before Barry heard Catlin yelling at him about how he and Barry were being an couple idiots and how they should have told the truth in the first place.

"Joe...Cisco got the security footage. It might lead to the identity of the murder and thief," Barry told Joe.

"We will look at it...tomorrow. It is late. Call Cisco back and tell him ," Joe sighed, "We all need some rest. And judging by how you seem to be in pain you especially need some rest."

Could he have said it any louder?

The next day Barry scrutinized the black and white film trying to find out exactly what happened. The film showed the security guard making his rounds but it didn't show how the woman had entered the bank. It showed her suddenly attacking the guard but it didn't show how she was able to remain hidden from the guard or how she strangled him ever since the screen went black at a certain point. Then came the images of Barry's fight with her before the screen blacked out again. Cisco went back to when the bank first opened but there was not sign of anyone hiding in the bank even when it closed.

"It doesn't make sense..." Catlin muttered, "How was this...person able to get in here?"

Cisco replayed the film from the time the guard started making his rounds. Barry analyzed the film meticulously this round. This time something near the corner of the footage caught Barry's eye. It was a flicker of movement.

"Zoom in there..." he said pointing.

Cisco fiddled with the controllers on the computer and zoomed in. Barry caught a grainy image of the shadow from a table moving. It turned into a human silhouette that solidified into the woman that Barry had fought. The footage continued to play showing the guard grappling the woman. But then he suddenly staggered back as if something had hit him. The woman threw something small and black at him; aiming for his neck. Then the screen went black as the lights went out. Everyone was quiet.

"That was scary," Joe muttered summing everyone's thoughts up.

And this was coming from a guy who had to deal with pretty scary stuff on a daily basis. Not a good sign.

"Doesn't that woman's abilities remind you of something?' Cisco asked cautiously after a few minutes.

"Yeah...I recall Percy saying that his cousin had a similar ability," Barry sighed, "He said his cousin was able to transport himself anywhere...through the shadows."

"Huh?" Joe asked.

"Long story..." Catlin muttered.

Very long story.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Cisco smirked.

Seriously? Barry hated having to call Percy all because of this strange Metahuman. But Percy seemed to have more experiences with this type of thing. Maybe he knew how to defeat her or...who ever she was.

"Maybe if we can't exactly figure out who did this..." Barry sighed, "Felicity could be helpful with finding the culprit's identity with her facial recognition software."

But Felicity was all the way in Starling City. It would take her hours to get here.

"Don't even bother calling," Felicity muttered suddenly entering the room, "Catlin called me yesterday; late mind you."

Oliver also entered with a scowl on his face plainly telling everyone he didn't want to be here. He didn't say anything. He and Joe had a brief glaring contest. Joe dislike Oliver's methods of interrogating criminals (Barry totally agreed with him on that point but still respected Oliver) and Oliver disliked how Joe didn't trust him. This made it pretty hard for both of them to be in the same room.

Barry raised an eyebrow at Catlin who said, "What? I thought we might need her...and um...him."

Oliver broke off the glaring contest and sat down in a chair with a huff. Felicity also sat down and started typing rapidly on one of the three computers. She managed to get an improved picture of the thief.

"Her name is Shenka Levin," Felicity stated pulling up a folder on her on the TVs that were installed in the walls, "Age 20."

There were several pictures of the woman that Barry had fought the day before. It seemed like she never changed her outfit ever since in each one she had a Gothic style. And it also seemed that she didn't like to smile. All her mug shot photos (as well as a few regular) showed her with a sneer or a smirk.

"What the heck does Shenka even mean?" Cisco snickered, "Shrink...her?"

Did he have to even say that? Joe shook his head at him.

"No...I think it means shadow in the Siberian language," Felicity said reading the screen of the computer.

"Then I got the perfect name for her," Cisco grinned.

"Oh please no," Catlin groaned face palming.

Barry felt like doing the same thing but decided not to hurt Cisco's feelings by doing that.

"The Shade..." Cisco said, "That is her name! No protests!"

Seriously? Did he have to name every single villain?

"You got to stop giving your villains silly little pet names," Oliver grumbled to Cisco.

Catlin nodded in agreement. Barry had a feeling she was going to punch Cisco for his stupid comment.

"Any information we know about her?" Barry asked blocking Cisco from Catlin.

"Lets see..." Dr. Wells mused staring at the computer screen, "Mother unknown...father...unknown. Her father was killed when she was seventeen...since then she has been arrested several times for stealing, breaking and entering, and attempted murder. She is wanted in several counties."

"Ok then...seventeen year old gone rogue," Oliver muttered, "That's a new one. What's next?"

Why would this woman turn to the life of crime after the death of her father?

"I thought this woman was dead," Joe said suddenly.

Barry turned to look at him. Why would he be saying this?

"Seriously...the night the..." Joe broke off and glanced nervously at Dr. Wells, "um...particle accelerator exploded some of the officers in our unit were pursuing her but she 'died' that night."

Barry nodded understanding. Most of the Metahumans they had encountered had 'died' but in reality had gained superpowers through the blast.

"Somehow she has dark matter in her system," Cisco said reading a print out of the DNA result.

He suddenly dropped the paper as if it had burned him.

"What is it Cisco?" Barry asked worried.

Why did he react like that? Cisco shakily bent down to pick up the paper.

"Look..." he gulped.

Cisco pointed to the DNA test. Half of Shenka's DNA helix was missing.

"Where have we seen this before?" Catlin asked quietly.

Unfortunately Barry knew exactly where he had seen this before.

"In...Percy," Barry realized.

Could this woman be like Percy?

"You have to call the kid Barry..." Joe advised knowing exactly what Barry was talking about, "He defiantly has more experiences with this than you do."

Barry nodded and pulled out the sheet of paper Percy had given them. After a few rings a woman answered the phone.

"This is the Jackson residents. Sally Jackson speaking."

"Um...Mrs. Jackson?" Barry asked putting his cell phone on speaker.

There was a pause. Barry's friends listened in.

"Who is this?" Percy's mom asked suspsiously.

"I...I'm a friend of your son," Barry managed to say.

Another pause. Barry got the impression that 'Sally' was considering hanging up.

"What do you want with him?" she asked after several minutes, her voice slightly worried.

Had she gotten phone calls like this before? Barry pushed aside the thought. There was probably a good reason for that.

"Nothing...just tell him...a friend in Central City called," Barry said.

He heard Percy's mom suck in her breath. Barry understood that Percy probably discussed had happened but didn't tell his secret identity to his mom.

"Alright...I will...," she paused before calling, "Percy?"

There was silence.

"Perseus Jackson..." said Sally a little louder.

No answer.

"Ouch...full name...not a good sign," Cisco snickered.

"Defiantly," Oliver commented dryly.

Then came Percy's voice,

"What mom? Sorry for not answering sooner...Leo was trying to take a look at my cards and..."

"Someone from Central City needs to talk to you. Who ever he is."

In the background Barry could hear Percy cursing. A couple other people's voices rose up asking what was wrong. Two were boys and one was a girl's.

"Tell them to hang on a moment," Percy's voice sighed.

"He asked..." started his mom.

"We heard him..." Barry answered.

He kind of felt embarrassed because it seemed like he had been eavesdropping on their conversation. In the background Barry heard Percy's footsteps fading away and a door was opened.

"Leo I swear if you look at my cards you'll be sorry!" Percy's voice was slightly muffled as if he was yelling at the other side of the room his mom was in.

"I'm not lookin at them!" protested a boy who Barry assumed was Leo, "And what do you mean I'll be Sorry? That's the name of the game after all and..."

"Don't be a smart mouth! That's my job!" Percy shouted back.

"What do ya mean its your..."

"Don't worry Perc...I'll make sure he doesn't look," interjected another boy.

"Thank you Frank!" Percy grumbled, "At least someone has common sense."

Somewhere in the background a girl started laughing.

"He seems to have trouble with Leo..." chuckled Felicity.

Barry could hear Sally moan in annoyance. Then came Percy's returning footsteps.

"Alright I'm back...just give me a little privacy and be on the look out for...well you know," came Percy's voice.

"I know...," came his mom's voice, "I will. Plus your friends will be as well."

Then came the noise of the door shutting.

"What's up Barry?" came Percy's voice.

He kind of sounded annoyed.

"Not much...except we need your help on this...Metahuman," Barry admitted.

"What is it now? If it has anything to do with someone sprouting snakes for hair then I am out," Percy grumbled, "And I warned you about calling me. Make it quick."

"Someone sprouting snakes for hair?" Cisco muttered.

"Don't ask," came Percy's voice,"Trust me...you don't want to know. It involves a garden reflecting ball and a lot of disgusting noises."

Apparently he had heard Cisco's comment. Barry, Oliver, and Catlin shot Cisco a writhing glare. He grinned sheepishly and sat down in a chair trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Continue?" Percy asked.

He sounded kind of anxious to get off the phone.

" Anyways...this Metahuman...she can transport through shadows..." Barry answered.

There was silence on the other end except for someone in the back ground arguing with someone else about something. No doubt Leo had tried to look at Percy's cards and Frank had interrupted him.

"Kid?"

"Yeah...I'm here..."Percy sighed, "I'll be there as soon as I can...with a couple of friends. They could be handy with dealing with this."

He sounded kind of nervous about something.

"Percy? You are needed in the living room...Leo is...' came Percy's moms voice.

"Not again! I thought I smelled something burning. Does he honesty have start Spontan...Never mind...I already know. Listen Barry...I will be leaving as soon as I take care of the problem...in my living room," Percy said with a groan.

"If you are leaving then you better pack extra under..." his mom started.

"Mom! They can hear you...you know!" Percy moaned.

Cisco snickered again prompting Catlin to elbow him. Then there was the sound of the door shutting again. In the background there was a sound of water splashing on something and then a smoke alarm went off. Then came laughter from three people and a Leo protesting angrily about something.

"I got to go. Listen who ever you are..." said Percy's mom, "Just make sure my son makes it home in one piece."

"Can't vouch for that," Oliver smirked quietly.

Couldn't he be positive for once?

"I will...try," Barry answered after shooting Oliver a glare.

"Thank you...um...who ever you are."

The phone clicked and turned off.

"You had to say that Oliver?" Felicity groaned.

Oliver shrugged," I'm considering shooting an arrow at him for finding out my secret."

"You're joking right?" Barry asked.

Oliver raised an eyebrow.

"Never mind..." Barry muttered, "Just as a warning...I'm blocking that arrow. And you better not shoot me in the back with one if I do."

Oliver smirked at him. Great...

"I wonder how long it will take Percy to get here..." Cisco said, "After all New York is several..."

He was cut off when someone literally dropped through the shadow in the ceiling yelling like a banshee. He did a perfect belly flop onto the tile floor which must have been very painful. Another person followed suit (screaming) landing in a sitting position on the top of the person who had fallen through earlier. Both were boys and both were very familiar looking.

"OUCH! Bro...watch the back!" cursed the person on the ground, "I ain't a safety cushion!"

He clutched his back and moaned. The boy was wearing suspenders and a tool belt which was an interesting fashion statement. He also was soaking wet as if someone had hit him with a power hose and kept on him for several minutes.

"Sorry Leo..." muttered the person who landed on the boy's back, "But call it retribution for trying to peek at my cards."

"Didn't you already do it by spraying me with the garden hose?" Leo grumbled.

"No...I had no choice on that one," the other boy smirked, "You nearly lit the couch on fire."

It was Percy. But how did he get here so quick? And how did Leo almost light the couch on fire?

"Percy?" Barry asked shocked, "I literally just called."

"There is a perfect exclamation for this..." Percy muttered.

The shadow above them spat out two other people who fell straight down yelling.

"THAT I WILL EXPLAIN LATER!" Percy yelped.

He quickly rolled out of the way just in time but Leo had a boy land on him making him yelp. Hard. Barry and the others winced sympathetically. The other person was a girl who fell screaming. The large boy (who Barry identified as Frank) managed to catch her but her ankle still hit the ground.

"Hazel...next time you decided to shadow travel us...please...do...it...one at a time," Leo groaned clutching his back again, "And Frank...lose a few pounds."

The boy Frank scowled and wacked the back of Leo's head before standing up with Hazel in his arms.

"Sorry...Leo" the girl winced as Frank put her down gently, "I'm not as good as Nico with this. My talents...lie elsewhere."

"Yeah I know..." Leo moaned, "You know how many times I trip on those rocks that you have lying around?"

"You okay Hazel?" Frank asked anxiously.

She groaned response and clutched at her ankle. Catlin immediately rushed over to her and started to inspect the damage. After a few seconds she had the girl limp over to a chair while speaking to her gently.

"Ow...hey doctor lady...check on me next!" Leo winced standing up and cracking his back, "Owwwww! I'm defiantly going to feel this when I'm fifty."

Catlin scowled at him showing she was annoyed with the nickname. Barry couldn't help but smirk. Leo was defiantly a mini Cisco; humor included in the package.

"I'm liking this kid," Cisco grinned.

Of course he did.

"Now we have to deal with two of them," Oliver muttered.

Cisco glared at him.

"How did you get here so quickly?" Barry asked amazed.

He was shocked that Percy had come so quickly. He had literally just called the kid.

"That my friend...would be shadow traveling," Percy smiled,"I guess both of us have some explaining to do."

He set a backpack down on the table. Frank stood looking at everyone nervously and shifted from foot to foot. Leo slipped in a puddle of water he had dripping off himself and landed on his back making him curse in Spanish.

"Kid...watch your language," Cisco chuckled, "If my mom heard you say that you'll have soap in your mouth right now."

"Percy?" Joe asked.

Percy turned to him with a questioning look on his face.

"You should explain...now," Joe said turning to look at Hazel who had Catlin wrapping a wrap around her ankle.

Done. I hope this story is just as successful as my first story Flash Flood. R&R!
