Chapter 2
"Any idea on what triggered the lockdown?" Commander Carson Williams asked one of his commandos as they continued their search of the Star Labs facility.
"None. Best we can figure someone activated it remotely, but we don't know how they knew we had entered or anything else about it." the commando said.
"Can you override it?" Williams asked.
"We're working on it, the security system is encrypted in a way our techs have never seen before." the commando said.
"Then we focus on our other objectives. I'm assuming there's been no sign of Dr. Snow." Williams asked.
"None. We're guessing she's out for the weekend." another commando said.
"Then we move on to our other objectives. The acquisition of all the data on Dr. Snow's computers, and all dark matter energy reserves in this facility." Williams said.
"Yes sir." the other soldiers said.
"Two teams. Commandos, head for Dr. Snow's lab and take every computer in there. The files it contains will no doubt prove useful in more ways than one. The rest of you, with me, we're going to locate and secure the dark matter reserves this facility keeps." Williams said.
"Yes sir." They said as they dispersed into their two teams, completely unaware that they'd been overheard.
"Well?" Vibe asked as Mirage popped out of the monitors, since they'd decided to disable the surveillance system and let Mirage use her powers and the mirrorverse to keep tabs on the ASA.
"It's not good. While they fortunately have not cracked your encryption to gain access to our entire system, they are dividing up into teams." Mirage said.
"What are they after?" Frost asked.
"First, our dark matter reserves and second, your computer. Or Caitlin's computer." Mirage said.
"Why would they be after those?" Vibe asked.
"Caity is saying that it's because both are critical to creating the cure that the ASA wants." Frost said, as she then proceeded to ice blast her own computer.
"What was that?" Vibe asked.
"Caity said to destroy the computers, since there's too much information in there that we can't let the ASA get their hands on and she's not just talking about the cure. It also contains all the information she's gathered on all our powers." Frost said.
"Yeah, cannot let that fall into enemy hands." Mirage agreed as one of the computers beeped.
"And we've got more bad news." Vibe said.
"What?" Mirage asked.
"The tracker in Ralph's suit just went dark and his comms are offline." Vibe said.
"Flash, get in here now. Vibe is opening a breach now." Frost said over the comms.
"Copy that." Flash said as Vibe opened the breach and Flash and Jesse sped through it.
"Good timing. We'd just about finished the last of the snipers." Jesse said.
"Well that's great, but we've lost eyes on Ralph." Vibe said.
"What do you mean?" Flash asked.
"Both his comms and his suit's tracker are down." Vibe said.
"That's not good." Flash said.
"I'll do a search of the city, see if I can find him." Jesse said.
"No, we can't afford to lose you as well." Flash said, right as his phone rang.
"Hello?" Flash asked when he picked up.
"Barry, what's going on? We just arrived at Star Labs and it looks like the place is locked down." Jefferson said.
"That's because it is. The ASA is raiding the place." Barry said.
"What?" Jefferson asked.
"Yeah, hold on a second, Cisco is going to open a breach for you guys to come straight to us without having to face any ASA forces." Flash said as Vibe traced his call and got a location and opened a breach.
About a minute later, Jefferson, Gambi, Anissa and Jen jumped out of it.
"Okay, that was cool." Anissa said.
"Barry, it's good to see you again." Jefferson said as they shook hands.
"You too. Sorry it has to be under these circumstances." Flash said.
"Okay uh, mind introducing us." Anissa asked.
"Right, sorry. This is my team. My foster father, Peter Gambi." Jefferson said.
"Just call me Gambi." Gambi said.
"And my daughters, Anissa." Jefferson said.
"Call me Thunder." Anissa said.
"And Jennifer." Jefferson finished.
"I prefer Jen or Lightning." Jen said.
"How'd you get those names?" Vibe asked.
"Well, Jen's powers are basically a more advanced version of mine and Anissa got the name Thunder since she's basically the thunder to my lightning. It's easier to show you. Now, you know my team, but what about yours." Jefferson said.
"Well, I'm Barry Allen, the Flash, this is my fiance Iris West." Barry said as Iris removed her mask.
"Mirage." Iris said.
"My sister Jesse." Barry said.
"Velocity." Jesse said, since she liked that name way better than Jesse Quick.
"And my best friends, Cisco Ramon," Barry said.
"Vibe." Cisco said as he removed his goggles.
"And Dr. Caitlin Snow." Barry said.
"Ahem." Frost said.
"Right sorry. While she can be Dr. Caitlin Snow, right now she's Frost." Barry said.
"Wait, what?" Anissa asked.
"Caity's powers are different then other metas. Instead of just having powers, she has a me. We're basically two people in the same body." Frost said.
"What?" Jen asked.
"Frost is the result of a medical treatment Caitlin's father used to cure her of potential ALS. It's basically a dual identity thing. While Caitlin and Frost share the same body, they have two different personalities." Barry explained.
"I'm basically Caity's meta power, since our powers only work when I'm in control." Frost said.
"Cool." Jen said.
"Anyways, now that we're all acquainted, let's get down to business." Barry said.
