A woman walks through the city of Keystone. Hours later, she walks through an ally.

Its dark, and the moon is full. A gun clicks. Hand it over. Okay. Okay, here. She reaches into a small purse, and takes out a wallet. She hands it to the mugger. A red streak of light, with yellow at some points, zooms through the city. Okay? Thats all I have. Good. Now do me a favor, and dont make a mess. He starts to pull the trigger, when the red streak seems to move through him, and past the woman. The mugger falls to the ground. The woman takes her wallet back, and kicks the body. She then looks to where the streak went. CUT TO: TITLE SCREEN- DARKNESS It starts to rain, and lightning strikes. The shot freezes, and the lightning turns into the Flash symbol. T H E CUT TO: We see Keystones skyline, in the morning. The camera moves down, showing a man with blond hair, that covers his forehead and neck, which sticks to his head, talking on a cell phone. He has a white, buttoned down shirt on, with tan pants. The man is standing on a curb, waiting for a stoplight to turn green. Im going to be late. No, its not because Im avoiding work, its because Im always late. Im slow. I didnt oversleep. Look, I dont control it, Im always late. He hangs up, and walks across the street. CUT TO: KEYSTONE POLICE STATION Barry walks into a large, square room, wearing a lab coat. Barry, youre 3 minutes late. Thats the fastest youve gone. Barry: Thats great Mr.... James. James Jesse. We found a man dead in an ally. Mid-thirties. His entire body was ripped apart. Weve managed to find most of the pieces. James has clean cut blond hair, and light blue eyes. Barry: Give me a few hours. Two, at the least. This should be fun. What was his name? It could help. James: Thats classified. Barry: Government agent, could hold some grudges. Thanks. Jesse puts his face in his hand. James: Damn it. Just...just get to work. He grabbed a handle on a drawer, and pulled out a table. It had chunks of flesh where it would be, if the man was alive. CUT TO: KEYSTONE A thin man is talking to someone on his cell phone. He has short brown hair, and brown eyes. The man has on a black T-shirt, and blue jeans. He looks angry. I did your dirty work Falcone, wheres my money? What do you mean its not coming? I did what you wanted! Hes dead. You want me to get the Flash? Forget it Falcone, I dont want your damn fake money. At least Maroni pays half up front! He hangs up on Falcone. The man then collapses on an old, green chair. CUT TO: F L A S H

THE KEYSTONE POLICE STATION Jesse is walking out of the building. He straightens his suit, and walks past a dozen reporters, with their cameramen. Hes stopped by one. She has long, brown hair, and blue eyes. James: Iris West. Always a pleasure. Please step out of my way. Iris: Sir, do you know who, or what, killed this man? James: Classified. Iris: Was it- James: Heres a headline: Classified. Then, in your story, you can use the word and. The rest can be classified. Iris: Thank you for your time. She awkwardly backs up into the crowd, as Jesse walks away. Her cameraman starts to talk, a small laugh entering his sentences. Nice. So, are you going to write that story? Iris: Oh, shut up Jim. CUT TO: Barry picks through the meat under the skin. He takes DNA from the skin and flesh. He searches the body for fingerprints. He reviews samples and papers. He doesnt come up with anything. He looks at the papers again. CUT TO: Thirty Minutes Later James walks into the lab. James: What did you find? Barry: Long, or short? James: Short. Barry: Nothing. James: Okay, long. Barry: I reviewed DNA samples, fingerprints, hair samples. I scanned the edges of the...er...chunks. His body wasnt cut by a knife. There would be specific markings, possible rust within the body, some form of DNA. There was nothing. There werent any fingerprints on the man from the known criminal database. I checked. He wasnt eaten by the rats. Thats for sure. The only theory I have at the time is that something was put in him, the center of the body, that expanded, or blew his body apart. Its not valid though, unless the device was vaporized, or recovered. James: What about superhumans? Barry: Superhumans? James: Yes. Superman could have zoomed over, and blasted him apart. The Flash could have ran straight through him. What if Batman ripped him apart with a batarang? Barry: That wouldnt happen. James: Why not? Barry: These men and women have helped us. They arent criminals. James: Keep thinking that. You can go. Barry walked away from the table. James pushed the destroyed body back into the drawer, as Barry left the building. CUT TO: Most of the reporters have left. Iris West is still there. She approaches Barry. Iris: Hello sir, can you tell me, who, or what, killed the man? Barry: Okay, I cant say that here, but tell you what. Meet me for dinner on Saturday, and Ill tell you what I know. He writes down his phone number, and hands the slip of paper to Iris. Iris: Um...thanks? He smiles, and walks away. CUT TO: BARRYS HOUSE Barry slowly walks in, and collapses in a chair. He breathes heavily. His cell phone starts vibrating in his pocket, and Barry smiles.

pocket, and Barry smiles. CUT TO: KEYSTONE The brown haired man quickly wakes up in the chair. His phone is ringing. He stumbles in the dark, looking for it. He then realizes that its in his pocket. He answers the call. Hello? Who is this? What do you mean its classified? Yes, Im for hire. You want me to kill the Flash? Im no idiotic super-villain, with a dumb name. Yes, I do have what some would call a gimmick. No, I would not call it that. How much are you willing to pay? What? Could you repeat that? Okay, on million? Just for the Flash? Youd be willing to pay half up front? Good. Where should I meet you? I wont? Youll send an associate? Perfect! Send him to me tomorrow. Ill get started the day after. He ends the call, and starts laughing happily. CUT TO: BARRYS HOUSE Barry is looking through his closet. He reaches to the very back, and pulls out a smooth, red costume. It has yellow lightning bolts circling the waist, wrist, and yellow on the legs and feet. It also has a lightning bolt on the chest. Two metal lightning bolts are also connected to the cowl, where the ears would be. He puts on the suit, and lifts the cowl up. He runs outside, at super-speeds. CUT TO: KEYSTONE The Flash runs through the city as a yellow and red streak of light. He passes a bank being robbed. Flash: Oh, come on! He runs past the bank, and stops. He turns around. There are five men, each armed. They are all in a straight line, hiding behind pillars. Cops are behind cars, holding pistols, waiting for the criminals. Flash: Three two, one, go. He runs, becoming a blur. Soon, all five men are down. Barry stops. Flash: All in a days work officers. Cop: Get the hell out of here! Flash: I just saved you. Cop: So? Flash: Well, you should be thanking me. Cop: Um...no. You should let us do our jobs. You can take them down, but we could lose our jobs. You ever think of that? Flash: Well Im sorry if three hostages died. Cop: Dont get involved. Flash: Wait. Just...give me a minute. He runs inside the bank. A minute later, he runs out. Flash: Insides secure. No casualties. Cop: Damn it, dont get involved. Flash: Why is Batman treated so well? He runs away. CUT TO: BARRYS HOUSE The Flash lays down on his bed. He closes his eyes. CUT TO: The Next Day KEYSTONE POLICE STATION Barry walks into the police station. Jesse is waiting for him. Barry: You called? James: Three times. You didnt pick up. Barry: It was the middle of the night.

James: It was urgent. Barry: Well, in that case...it was the middle of the night. James: We looked t your theory, and werent able to find any devices. However, there were no superhuman sightings, and we didnt find any evidence at the scene. We have a new theory. Barry: And youd like me to check? James: Yes. Barry: Okay, so whats the theory? James: Energy. Barry: Energy? James: What else could enter a mans body, and expand, destroying it? Barry: A late chest-burster? Ill get to work. James: Good. CUT TO: KEYSTONE The man is sitting on his bed. A lamp is on. We can see his face. Wheres my money? Youre coming? Great! Youre going to come in. Youre my brother. Okay? Good. Where are you? No, exactly. Corner of Plainveiw and Thane? Okay. Bye. CUT TO: 10 Minutes Later A buzz enters the apartment, and the man opens the door. A man with clean cut blond hair, and light blue eyes is there, with a metal briefcase. Im James Jesse. Your money is in the case. CUT TO: KEYSTONE POLICE STATION Barry looks through the destroyed corpse. Jesse walks into the room. Barry: Okay, I think I found something. There isnt any DNA on the man, right? James: Right. Barry: And energy went into him, and expanded? James: Right. Barry: So, what if The energy was fired into him?? Like, a super-genius made a gun that could fire energy? James: Thats insane. Barry: Sos half the stuff youve got locked away. James: I dont believe it. Barry: But you can believe that a man dresses up like a bat to fight crime? James: Okay. Ill look. Youre part in this is over. Barry: Well, thats great. He walks out of the building. CUT TO: The Next Day BARRYS HOUSE Barry walks into his house, and turns on the lights. He goes through the closet, and grabs his Flash suit. He puts it on, and runs outside. CUT TO: KEYSTONE The Flash runs through the city. Suddenly, he hears a strange sound, (not unlike a portal gun) and falls into the ground. Onto a rooftop. He looks around. Flash: What the hell? He looks at a large square, straight up, on the roof. It has uneven swirls, moving in all directions on it. Barry can faintly make out his reflectionWHAM!

WHAM! A fist hits the back of his head. He quickly turns around, and dodges another punch, but is hit by a second, which hits his gut. Flash: Fake, nice. Whats your name? Mr. Bad Fashion Sense? A man wearing an orange body suit, with a green belt and cowl, is staring at Flash. His fists are clenched, and is breathing heavily. His belt has a holster, with a gun. Flash: Um...whats your name? Mr. Bad Fashion Sense? Okay, whats your name? Im...uh...the Mirror Master! Flash: The...? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! He bent down, and wiped a tear from his eye. Flash looked up at the man again. Flash: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Thats hilarious! Whats your name? The man ran towards Flash, raising his fist. He brought it down, and the Flash crouched, and rolled out of the way. He got back to his feet, and uppercutted the man. He ran forward as the man was in mid-air, and slammed his fist into the mans face. Barry stopped, grabbed the mans leg, and threw him to the other side of the rooftop. Flash: Okay, who are you? MM: Why the hell would I tell you? Flash: Well, for starters, I can punch you 10 times in one second. Let me guess, you killed that man. MM: I kill a lot of men. Flash: You know. The one who got blown up from the inside. MM: That happens a lot. I usually clean it up. Flash: Thats great. Are you a mercenary? Who sent you? MM: I cant tell you that. Flash: Then tell me your damn name! MM: Well, its- The man kicked Flashs crotch, got up, and punched him. The man grabbed Flashs back, and pulled him towards the portal, throwing him in. Flash landed on the road. He got up, and looked for the man. He was gone. Flash ran away. CUT TO: KEYSTONE UNIVERSITY Barry has goggles on, and is holding two test tubes. His laptop is open. It makes a noise. Barry clicks on a program, and a man comes on screen. He has brown hair, blue eyes, and is sweating, while smiling. Barry returns to his experiment. Barry: Hi Ray. Ray: I could have found it. Barry: Found what? Ray: I think you know. Barry: Wait...is this about the belt? Ray: It is. Barry I could have found the key to the belt. Barry: thats amazing! What is it? Ray: I cant tell you. I, well, I just wanted you to know. Im gonna go now. Barry: Okay. Good luck. Ray: Thanks. Barry continues his experiment. CUT TO: KEYSTONE The man is talking on his phone, in his apartment. I didnt get him. Yes, I met him. I fought him. Yes, I stood a chance. Look, I want to know about him. You dont know anything. Okay. How badly do you need this guy? Dead? You never said that he should be dead. I was holding back. Damn it. Dont worry, you wont find a corpse. CUT TO: That Night Barry has on a collared shirt, and dress pants. Hes in a restaurant, a plate in front of him. Hes frowning. Iris walks in, wearing normal clothes, carrying a notepad. Barry signals for her. Barry: You actually showed up. I thought I was late.

Iris: Sorry. Why are you all dressed up? Barry: I thought... Iris: Oh, you thought...no. No, this isnt a date, Mr. Allen. Barry: This...okay. Iris: I am only here, because I want questions answered on the body. Barry: Oh, the body. I dont know anything more than you do. Iris: Oh. Any...theories? Barry: Theories. Okay, theories...got it. I believe that the man was ripped apart by energy, as there were no elements of weaponry, or DNA. Mr. James Jesse, on the other hand, thinks it was a hero. Iris: Vigilante? Barry: Thats what I meant. Iris wrote something down. Barry: Are you... Iris: Thank you, Mr. Allen. She got up, and walked away. Barry sat there, a blank stare on his face. A waiter came over, with the bill. Barry: Nice. CUT TO: The Next Day Flash runs down a street. He hears a woman scream. He runs in that direction. A man in a hoodie has Iris at gunpoint. Mugger: Dont scream again, okay? Now, wallet, watch, phone, purse, everything. Iris throws her purse on the ground. Mugger: Is it all there? Iris: It is. Dont shoot me. Mugger: Yeah, about that... He points the gun at her. A red flash goes by, and the gun is gone. Mugger: Oh no. Its him. Oh my god, no! Where is he? Flash: Um...excuse me? He taps the muggers shoulders, and zooms to the other side of him as he turns around. Mugger: Where are you? Flash: Are you blind? He does it again. Flash: Im right here. The mugger turns around, and he punches him. He then runs to his side, and slams him into a wall. He punches the mugger again, and turns to Iris. Iris: Thanks. I might have to reconsider my views on vigilantes. Flash: Heroes? Iris: Wait...Ba- He was gone. CUT TO: BARRYS HOUSE Flash laid on Barrys bed, looking at the ceiling. He closed his eyes, and his head sunk into the pillow. He smiled. CUT TO: KEYSTONE The man opens his apartment door. Its Jesse, holding a briefcase. What do you want? Jesse: Well, Scudder, thats your name, right? Sam Scudder? Scudder: Yeah. What the hell do you want? Jesse: Did you learn anything from the Flash? Scudder: I got that recording, like you asked me. He got a USB, and tossed it to Jesse. Scudder: Got our little conversation on that thing. Jesse: Thanks. You dont mind if I check it, do you? Scudder: Not at all. Jesse put the USB into a laptop, and listened to the sound bytes. He smiled.

Jesse put the USB into a laptop, and listened to the sound bytes. He smiled. Scudder: So? Jesse: Take this briefcase. Youll find 5,000 dollars, and some reports on the Flash. Scudder: Thanks. He smiled, as Jesse walked out of the apartment. CUT TO: KEYSTONE UNIVERSITY Barry walks through the university halls. His hands are in his lab coats pockets. He walks into an office. Barry: Is Professor Garrick here? Right here. An old man, in a collared shirt, walks to Barry. Barry: I have a question. Garrick: About? Barry: Travel through two spots in separate areas. Garrick: Portals? Barry: Well...yeah. Garrick: Well, I dont think anyone has completed it yet. I was working on one device like it, a gun, but, it was stolen. Barry: Did you try to recover it? Garrick: Of course I did. The police never found it. Barry: Did you try to recreate it? Garrick: No. It required an element I couldnt possibly get back. Barry: Okay. Do you have the blueprints? Garrick: Why? Barry: Id like to see the design. Possibly redesign it, see if theres another element that can make it work. Garrick: Ill get them. He walked to his desk, and opened a drawer. He pulled out a blueprint, and handed it to Barry. Garrick: Here. Good luck. Barry: Thanks. He walked out of the room. Garrick sits at his desk, with a sign that reads: Jay Garrick CUT TO: THE KEYSTONE NEWS Iris West is typing away at a laptop. She stops, and thinks. Iris: No. He cant be. It must have been a coincidence. It had to be. Just, one big coincidence. But saying exactly what I said, only, the other way around. No, it cant be a coincidence. But...do I ask him? No. Or should I? What the hell. She picks up her cell phone, and dials a number. CUT TO: BARRYS HOUSE Barry is staring at the blueprints. His phone rings. He answers. Barry: Hello? Iris: Oh hi. Barry, I need to ask you something. His eyes widen. Barry: Um...what? Iris: Y-the Flash, he...well...said something, and it reminded me of you. Barry: It did? He was talking through clenched teeth. Iris: Well, yes. Barry: Whats your point? He wasnt blinking. Iris: Dont judge me based on this question, and please dont think Im stupid, but...Barry, are you the Flash? He took in the words, and almost instantly, burst out laughing.

Barry: Oh, am...am I-ha ha ha ha ha!!! Oh man, oh god, Iris, why the hell would I be a superhero. And why would I have super-speed? Some crazy lab accident? Oh god. Ha. Iris: Oh. Im...Im sorry. I should have realized how stupid that was. Bye. Barry: Wait! Would you want to maybe- She had hung up. Barry closed his phone, and slammed his head against a wall. The Next Day CUT TO: KEYSTONE Flash zooms down A street. He hears a strange sound, and narrowly dodges a portal. Flash: Take that- Another one opens in front of him, and he zooms through, to a rooftop. Suddenly, hes punched, into the portal. Flash: -sucker. Mirror Master appears behind him, coming through another portal. Flash pushes himself off the ground, and punches him. He shoots at Flash, creating portals everywhere. Soon, him and Flash are surrounded by them. Mirror Master smiles, and runs through one portal. Flash looks at each of the portals. Mirror Master lunges at Flash from behind. He lads on his back, and starts choking him. He throws him off, and he tumbles into another portal. Flash breathes, and looks around again. Mirror Master runs at Flash from behind. Flash turns around, grabs his shoulders, and tosses him into another mirror. Flash runs after him. Mirror Master runs out of one mirror, and sees the Flash is gone. He smiles, and shoots each of the portals, closing them. CUT TO: Scudder is in his apartment. Hes holding his gun, when he hears someone buzz in. Scudder: Jesse? It is. Scudder: Come in. Jesse walked into the apartment, holding a briefcase. Scudder: Before you ask, yes, I killed him. Jesse: Body? Scudder: There isnt one. Jesse: How do I know you killed him? Scudder: Give me the briefcase. Jesse: Why would I do that? Scudder pulls out the gun seen on the Mirror Master. Jesse: Dont. Scudder shoots, and Jessie rolls out of the way. A portal opens, and Flash runs out, slamming into Scudder. They drop to the floor. Jesse pulls out a gun, and points it at them both. Jesse: Dont make me shoot. Flash: You do realize that Im a good guy. Jesse: Youre a vigilante. Flash: Gotham has vigilantes. Now, Im just going to get up, hands behind my head, and... He dashed away. Scudder stared. Jesse pointed the gun at Scudder. Jesse: Get up. Scudder: Definitely. Jesse: Get up. Scudder: Okay, okay. Jeez. Jesse: As of now, you work for me, and the government. Permanently. CUT TO: UNKNOWN Light flashed into Scudders eyes. Jesse was looking at him, a lamp shining at him. Scudder: Turn that thing off. James: Okay. He did so. James: I want to know where you got that gun. Scudder: Why, you want to tamper with it?

Scudder: Why, you want to tamper with it? James: Yes. Scudder: Im no genius. Stole it from some guy, bout a year ago. James: Well, Mr. Scudder, lets make a deal. You bring in the Flash, alive, and we let you go. Scudder: With the gun? James: No. Scudder: Then you dont have a deal. James: You know, in some countries, your crimes are punishable by death. We could take your money, give you the gun, drop you somewhere, let you work like you have, exploit you, and let you die. Scudder: That sounds elaborate. James: It is. Now, your other option is to go without the gun. Scudder: Fine. Jesse put the gun on the table. James: Enjoy. He walks out of the room. CUT TO: James: Should we tell him? We hear an African-American womans voice. Why shouldnt we? It would help him. James: Well...he could sell it, get out of the country, and hes home free. We wont let him do that. You know what to do. CUT TO: James: Hi. He walks towards Scudder, still sitting down. He goes behind him, and sticks a needle in his neck. Sam winces. Scudder: That hurt. CUT TO: BARRYS HOUSE Barry looks over the blueprints once more. Barry: Whats this thing even supposed to use? What does it do? Do you go through an alternate dimension? Through one portal, you go in. With two portals, you only go in a split second? Huh. Better write that down. He hears a knock on his door. Barry walks over, and opens it. Iris was standing there. Barry: Oh, um...hi. Iris: Hi. Barry: What are you doing here? Iris: Well...I...he wants you. Barry: What? He hears a weird sound, and a portal opens in the house. They both stare at it, as a time bomb comes through. Barry: RUN!!! He goes out the door, Iris in front of him. He jumps down a few stairs, and lands on his back. The house explodes. Barrys ear starts ringing. He slowly gets up, weak from the explosion. He looks around. Barry: How did you know!?! ... Barry: WHERE ARE YOU!?! Right here. Mirror Master punches Barrys jaw, and uppercuts him. Barry is knocked back, and kicked in the stomach. He clutches his stomach, and Scudder kicks his face, then grabbing him, and pushing him to the ground. He laughs. Barry: How did you know? MM: Oh, it was simple. Government hired me to take you down. They asked for a soundbite of you. They were able to trace the voice back to you, a man who, apparently, worked for a guy in that field. He saw people running away. No one was around. Barry: Well, cant hurt to beat you up. Scudder quickly pulls out his gun, and points it at Barry. MM: Make one move, and Ill shoot. Yknow whatll happen? Youll be ripped apart, and-

Iris socked him. He grabbed his jaw, and pointed at Iris, as Barry ran, at super speed, into him. He was knocked back, and opened a portal. He ran into it, and had it close. Barry looked at where the portal was. Iris: What the hell was that? Barry: You said that he wanted me, how did you know? Iris: I didnt! I swear, I didnt know what was going on. I just woke up with a sack over my head, and some guy was telling me to lead him to Barry Allen. He had a gun. I heard two other people with guns. Im sorry. Wait. You used-youre- She slapped him. Iris: You lied to me! Barry: I barely knew you! Iris: You asked me out! Barry: Well, apparently it wasnt a date. Iris: Why would it be? Barry: Seriously? Iris: That doesnt mean you didnt- Barry: You would have reported it! The story of the century! Barry Allen is the Flash. Iris: I wouldnt have done anything like that! Barry: Okay, okay. Lets just focus on the bigger picture here. The government is obviously after me, and they want Mirror Master to take me down. He knows my identity, which means he can get to either one of us at any time. Iris: Do you know whats up with the gun? Barry: I had blueprints. from a professor, where I work. Burned down with the house. I made a copy, but thats gone too. Maybe I should call-crap. My phone was in there. Crap. Everything was in there. Iris: You can stay with me. Barry: Okay. Ill do that. CUT TO: KEYSTONE Iris walks into a large apartment. She turns on the lights, and Barry follows. Iris: Its not much, but its home. Barry: Its great. He smiles. CUT TO: UNKNOWN Scudder steps through a portal, and closes it. Jesse is waiting for him. James: Good job. You ran away, and revealed our involvement. MM: I thought I would get him. James: Oh did you? Then why did you run away if youre so sure of yourself? MM: I thought- James: You thought? You thought? No you didnt. You just took everything, and got rid of it. Allen knows everything now! MM: Its not my fault! James: Why not!?! MM: Fine. Im sorry, blah blah blah. CUT TO: KEYSTONE UNIVERSITY Barry runs through the halls, to Garricks office. He runs into him. Barry: Oh man. Oh man I am so sorry. Garrick: Dont be. It was an accident. I heard about what happened yesterday. Barry: Oh, yeah. I have a question. Garrick: Shoot. Barry: Um...what material did you use? For the gun. Garrick: Well, Im not sure what it was called. It was a green, glowing crystal, I believe. Barry: Okay. Where was it? Garrick: It was on the top. Where you would put ammo, if there was any. A hatch. Lifted up, you put it in, connect a wire or two, and bam! You got a portal gun.

connect a wire or two, and bam! You got a portal gun. Barry: Thanks. Garrick: No problem. In his lab, Barry pulls out a new cell phone. Barry: Okay, Iris its a green crystal that powers the gun. Okay? CUT TO: THE KEYSTONE NEWS Iris: Okay. You better not get me fired for this. She types in something on her laptop. Iris: Okay, looks like LexCorp used some of it. Um...not much else, except for that its been found all over Earth. And above it. CUT TO: KEYSTONE UNIVERSITY Barry: Okay. Thanks. Bye. He smiles, and continues with an experiment. That Night CUT TO: UNKNOWN Scudder sits in a cell, bouncing a ball off of the wall. A portal suddenly opens up, the ball going through one, and hitting him on the back of the head. Scudder: Lemme guess. Another mission? James: Thats correct. He throws Scudder the gun. He smiles. CUT TO: IRIS APARTMENT Barry tosses a small device to Iris. Barry: Its a communicator. In case I need you. Information, that kind of thing. Just put it in your ear. Iris: Uh...thanks. Barry: See ya. He zoomed to a closet, and zoomed back, in his costume. He then zoomed out of the apartment. CUT TO: KEYSTONE Flash zoomed through the streets. He went down an ally. He was jumped. Thug: Big mistake! The thug punched him, again and again. Thug: Ha ha ha! His fist went down one more time, straight through Flashs face. Thug: What the hell!?! Flash: Yeah. I can vibrate my molecules. Solid matter cant touch me. Thug: Ive never seen you do that before! He backed up against a wall. Flash: Well, yknow, it gives me a bloody nose. He went solid. Flash: Oh hey, look at that. Blood dripped down from his nostril. He smiled, and punched the thug, then uppercutting him, and running

towards him, hitting him, and slamming him into the wall. Flash: See ya- He fell into the ground, and onto a rooftop. Flash: -obviously. Mirror Master kicked him, and grabbed Flashs shoulders. He shoved him across the rooftop, and opened a portal. Flash fell through, into Mirror Masters fist. Flash: Ow. Mirror Master kicked him through the portal again, and Flash landed on the rooftop, on his back. Flash: Double ow. He put his hand to his ear. Flash: Iris, um...I dont know how to say this but, well, this isnt fun. Mirror Master ran at Flash, who was getting up. He tackled him, and pushed him into a portal. Flash came out of another, and got up. He ran at Mirror Master, and punched him, sending him flying into a portal, zooming out the other. Flash turned around, slamming his fists into him. Scudder flew off the roof, screaming. He opened a portal on the ground, and went back onto the rooftop. He smiled.Flash zoomed towards him, slamming his fist into his face. Mirror Master stumbled back, was punched again, and uppercutted Flash. Flash kicked Scudder, and punched him through a portal. Scudder flew up out of one, and Flash zoomed at him, holding him. He zoomed across the rooftops. Flash: Now, are you going to be a good little super-villain and go to prison? -click-click-click-clickFlash: Oh hey, look at that. Government agents pointed guns at Flash. They surrounded him. He dropped Scudder, and put his hands in the air. CUT TO: UNKNOWN Agents lead Flash down a hallway. He enters a dark room. He puts his hand to his ear. Flash: Iris, I dot no where I am, but the government has captured me. Dont worry, Im gonna break out. Just dont freak out. Dont call anyone, just say that Im sick, and cant go to work. Im gonna get - Whats that? Flash looks at James Jesse. James: I asked you a question. Flash: That Im not gonna answer. James: Wonderful. Barry, did she reply? Flash: No. James: Hmm. Would you like to see her? Flash: What did you with her? James: Would you like to see her? Flash: What did you do with her!?! James: Shes here, shes safe, and she isnt hurt. But would you like to see her? Flash: No thanks. He punched Jesse, and zoomed through the wall. Flash: Crap, bloody nose! CUT TO: Flash zoomed through the halls, knocking people over. He stopped, and zoomed into a room. He started typing on a keyboard. Flash: Where am I? Wheres Iris? A picture came up on a large screen. It showed a large building. Flash: Well, thats not too bad. He zoomed out of the room. CUT TO: Jessie was running through halls, ordering people around.

James: You! Try to trace him! Heat signatures, use anything! You three! Get to the portal, make sure he doesnt get through by accident. The rest of you, get back to work! Shell have my head for this. CUT TO: Iris opened her eyes. The room was pitch black, but her eyes quickly adjusted. She made a muffled scream. Bound and gagged. Tied to a chair too. She rolled her eyes. CUT TO: Flash zoomed through the building. Flash: Sorry. Pardon me. Bye! He looked behind him, and saw three guards with guns out. He stopped, turned around, and ran at them, knocking them over. He ran away. CUT TO: James burst into a room full of guns and guards. James: All of you, grab a gun, and spread out! Find the Flash, I dont care if hes alive or dead. Go! The guards ran out, carrying rifles, machine guns, and assault rifles. Jesse grabbed a pistol and walked out. CUT TO: Flash ran past cells, but only one had someone in it. Scudder: Hey! Let me out! Come on, please! Flash: Seriously? You think Im gonna let you out? Scudder: Im sorry, alright? I was just doing what they told me to! Flash: Well, when you put it like that... no. Scudder: Ill kill you! Flash: Im sure. He zoomed away. CUT TO: Jesse walked out of the building, dialing a number on his phone. James: We have him surrounded, dont worry. We arent positive on his location. Yes, Scudders still in containment. Sos the girl. Form a perimeter around her? Why? Oh, I see. Um... Ill get right on it. Got it. Alright. He ended the call, and ran back into the building. CUT TO: Iris rocked side to side in the chair, trying to tip over. It eventually came down, and she pushed it away from her. A guard rushed into the room. Guard: The hell are you doing? He lifted her to her feet, and shoved her back onto the ground. CUT TO: Flash ran down a hallway, past a few people, and collided with a wall. He fell onto the floor. Guards started surrounding him, laughing. Guard: Get up nice and easy. We dont want any- Flash ran towards him, slamming the guard into the ground, picking up his gun, and pointing it at the others. Guard: You arent gonna use that. They lifted their guns, and in a split second, Flash shot at the ceiling, hitting a pipe. Steam filled the hall, as Flash zoomed away.

CUT TO: Jesse burst into the room as the guard pointed his gun at Iris. James: What the hell are you doing? We need her alive! Guard: Yeah, fine. What should I do? James: Join the perimeter, Ill stay with her. Guard: Yes sir. He ran out of the room, leaving Jesse with Iris. James: Hi. CUT TO: Flash grabbed a gun from one guard. He threw it on the ground, and punched him. The guard backed up to a wall, raising his fists. Flash right hooked him and slammed his knee into the guards crotch. He turned around, easily dodging bullets fired by another guard. He sped forwards, punching him right in the nose. He was knocked down, and Flash kicked his face. He sped away from another bullet, and then sped to the next guard. He knocked him down, and then sped past him, speeding back, and knocking him across the hall. He sped away. CUT TO: Jesse stood over Iris, who was still on the floor. James: You really dont understand. Flash is a threat to America. Maybe to the world. So are the rest of these heroes. We dont know who these people are. What their true intentions are. And besides, Im just following orders. Understand? Iris: Mph! James: Heh heh. Of course you do. CUT TO: Flash went past men and women wearing lab coats and body armor. He grabbed one guard, and pinned him against the wall. Flash: Where is she? Guard: She? Flash: Iris! Guard: Oh, uh... shes right to the left. Theres a perimeter. Flash: Thanks. He punched the guard, knocking him out. CUT TO: Scudder sat on his bed. A guard ran to his cell. Guard: Scudder, youre up. Scudder: Really? Give me the gun. He was released, and handed the gun. He ran out of the room. The guard pressed a communicator on his gauntlet. Guard: Its done, just like you said. Jesse doesnt know. CUT TO: Flash zoomed past a line of guards. Guard: Hes here! Safety off! Flash grabbed one guard, threw him into another, and zoomed away as he was being shot at. He sped back, knocking one down, grabbing his gun, and slamming it into another guard. He kicked the first guard, and pushed him into two more. He sped at one guard, ripped his gun from him, and unloaded it, in three seconds. He smiled, and punched him in the face. He turned around, zooming towards another guard, ramming into him. He dodged a swarm of bullets, and knocked the last guard unconscious.

CUT TO: Iris was still on the floor. James: Its gone quiet. Damn, he took them out! Flash burst into the room. James pointed his gun at Flash. Flash: You know I can dodge that Jesse. James: Good point Barry. He pointed the gun at Iris. Flash: Dont. James: Will you come in quietly? Hope not. Scudder walked into the room, gun in hand. James: Scudder, why are you out of your cell? Scudder: One of your guards let me out. You didnt know? James pointed his gun at Scudder. Flash zoomed at him, grabbed Jesses gun, and slammed the butt into his face. James fell down, and Scudder shot at the ground. He shot beneath Iris, and she fell through the portal, and into Scudders arms. He smiled, and pointed the gun at her. Flash: Let her go. Scudder: Why should I? Flash: Then I swear- Scudder: Oh, you swear? Of course you swear! Flash: Just let her go! He shoved her onto the ground, and aimed at Flash. He zoomed forwards, and knocked the gun out of his hands. Flash grabbed Scudders shoulders, and shoved him forwards. BANG! Scudder grabbed his leg, and fell to the floor. James stood next to Flash, gun in hand. Flash: That takes care of that. You still going to turn me in? James: Go. Flash: You sure? James: Just go! And take her with you. Flash: Thanks. He untied Iris, and ungagged her. They left the room. James stood there, as Scudder clutched his leg. CUT TO: KEYSTONE Barry and Iris sat in the apartment. Iris: So, um... do you want something to drink? Barry: No. No thanks. Im sorry. Iris: Dont be sorry. Its just a drink. Barry: No, its not that. Its... you being kidnapped, and being dragged into this- Iris: Its not your fault Barry. Besides, you saved me. Barry: You could have died. Iris: But I didnt. Barry: I know youre right but... what if they go after others? Like the one in Gotham, or Metropolis? I mean, they have lives too, right? Iris: They can take care of themselves. Barry: Iris, if Jesse keeps this up, I dont know whatll happen to us. Heroes, I mean. Would we have to work together? Go into hiding? Iris: Maybe you will. But you wont have to do it now, or maybe ever. Barry: But what if- Iris leaned in and kissed him. She sat back in her chair. Barry: Okay. He smiled. CUT TO: WASHINGTON DC James walked into the Oval Office. He frowned. James: Mr. President, a minute?

Call me John, okay? James: Yes, John. Do you know about the Flash? John: The hero? James: The vigilante. We took him in two days ago, but he escaped. John: You took him in? Who authorized this? James: You know who authorized it. John: Her. I see. Continue. James: Well, I just wanted permission to take in more of these vigilantes. John: Ill think about it. James: Mr. President, before I go, just remember this. We dont know these peoples intentions. Their true intentions. We dont know if they have any plans. We dont know what they think. John: Ill take it into consideration. James: Thank you. CUT TO: KEYSTONE A man walks down a dark alleyway. Hes jumped. Thug: Give me your money! Man: Here! Here! A red streak flashes by, and a thug is on the ground. THE FLASH

CUT TO: POST CREDITS SCENE: James sits in a dark room. His phone rings. James: No, he didnt find the portal. Dont worry, the Watchtower is safe.
