Against The Clones

"Why did it start moving?" Barry asks, as he too was surprised by the clone's sudden movement.

"Prime. My guess is that Prime is on the move. This one heard the summons to battle," Dr. Wells theorizes.

"And I know where he was summoned to," Joe says putting his gun away. "Stagg Industries," he says.

Barry looks at Joe and meets his eyes. "What should I do Joe?" Barry asks.

"I believe in you, Barry. Mardon, and now Black, this is beyond me, beyond what the police can handle. The only person it's not beyond is you. You gotta do this.

So, for once in your life, do what I tell you to do. Go kick his ass," Joe says.

Barry smiles and nods his head.

Barry walks up to his superhero suit and puts it on at super speed before zooming out of S.T.A.R. Labs.

Stagg Industries_

Simon Stagg is working late when he suddenly hears gunshots outside. He immediately gets scared as he realizes that his killer is out to get him again.

He makes a run for his life only to find his security personnel, all shot dead, and before their dead bodies stand three people looking exactly the same.

"Hello Danton," Simon says looking at the three identical men. He would be surprised to see him like this if not for the gun being pointed at him.

"Goodbye Simon," Black says and pulls the trigger, but Barry is here.

He zooms in and drags Simon Stagg away, back to his office. "Stay here while I deal with him," Barry instructs and zooms away bewildering Simon.

Barry returns to where Black is and sees duplicates of him all over the place, all with guns in their hands.

"Black, I know Stagg stole your research, but that doesn't give you the right to murder," Barry tries to talk, but he doesn't have much hope. He tried this before and it didn't work.

And just like he expected, Black and his clones open fire on him. Too bad for Black, Barry is way faster than bullets.

Barry sees each bullet coming towards him in slow motion. He sighs and moves out of the bullets' trajectories.

He then runs into every Black he can see, tackles, and disarms them, but there are clones of Black everywhere.

One of them approaches Barry pointing his gun at him while Barry is trying to find the Prime. "You think this is about my job?" He questions and tries to shoot, but Barry can't be touched. He immediately disarms the clone.

But another clone is immediately behind him. "This is about Elizabeth. She was my wife," Black says and shoots again, but it's futile. Barry knocks out another clone.

This time, the clones are not turning into dust as Black is keeping his hold on them.

"She had a degenerative coronary disease — She'd been on the transplant list for years — but time was running out — So if I couldn't get her a new heart--" Barry heard sentence after sentence from every clone before Barry took them out but the numbers are still showing no sign of reducing.

'Where are you prime?' Barry questions looking around. He then thinks of something.

'I need to bring them all in together,' Barry thinks and stops right in the middle of the lobby. "You were gonna grow her one," Barry says grabbing every clone's attention.

"I was so close until Stagg stole my research, so he could reap the glory, and I got to bury my best friend. Now I'm Alone," Stagg says before all the clones begin vibrating and multiplying, creating more.

'Yes, come on, push yourself more,' Barry thinks as he avoids every attack being thrown at him by these clones.

He zooms around, tackling any clone in his way, sending them flying, only leaving behind a trail of lightning behind.

More clones start to appear, but they are still not enough to even graze the fastest man alive.

Barry runs through the hoards of clones, trying to find the prime. And then he notices one, different from others.

The only one breaking a sweat. "Got you," Barry says with a smile and charges at him.

In the blink of an eye, he arrives in front of the Prime. He grabs him and then drags him away at super speed and then smashes him against a wall, knocking him out cold.

As soon as he goes down, the rest of the clones immediately begin rag dolling on top of each other.

"Barry! Barry, are you all right?" Barry hears Joe's voice in his earpiece.

"I'm fine. I got him, it's done," Barry says smiling victoriously as he looks outside the window at the beautiful city.

He then sees Black getting up back to his feet in the reflection. Black tries to tackle him but Barry is too fast. He moves to the side causing Black to smash into the window and almost fall, but Barry is right here.

He grabs the back of Black's vest and begins pulling him up.

"No! Let me go," Black shouts, trying to put an end to his life.

"You were wronged, Black, but you killed innocent people who had nothing to do with your wife's death. For that, you need to repent and be judged for your crimes," Barry says yanking Black up and once again knocking him out.

"Guys, what do I do with him now?" Barry asks, as he realizes that they have no place to hold him right now.

"He will be conscious soon and will start causing trouble again. Do we have a place to hold him?" Barry asks.

"No, we don't..." Cisco says as they realize that they have nothing to contain these Meta-Humans

The team looks at each other, clueless for the time being.

"What if I just run him into the precinct and lock him inside a jail cell? He shouldn't be able to break out, right?" Barry suggests.

"Good idea, Mr. Allen," Dr. Wells says.

Barry does just that. He grabs Black and immediately runs to CCPD. He then puts him inside an empty hold-up and locks it from outside before taking the key away with him as he doesn't want someone to mistakenly release him.
