Central City. The outskirts of the city.
That evening, the weather was a little rough. A light rain was drizzling in the city, though it didn't affect the people of the city in any way. Central City was as lively as ever. Advertising signs blinked with colorful lights, and crowds of honking cars in traffic were a familiar sight. Because of the many dark clouds, the stars in the sky were almost invisible. But the moon was unaffected, shining as it always did, free and bright.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the city, where it was relatively quiet and the hustle and bustle of city life was barely present, a strange scene was taking place.
Several people stood in the drizzling rain and looked at each other tensely. One looked like an ordinary man, wearing simple clothes. Black pants, sneakers, leather jacket. Only his slightly glowing red eyes, gave him a strange creepy image. The bright light of those eyes stood out clearly in this dark alley. This man stood apart from the others, but he was not nervous at all. In fact, he had a cheerful grin on his face and was looking at the people in front of him one by one.
There were three people, but each was more unusual than the other. The furthest away was a girl with very pale skin and blue lips. Her silver eyes were mesmerizing, and her icy beauty made her even more attractive. But behind the beautiful appearance was a cold ruthless heart. The girl reeked of deadly coldness. In Central City, she was a rather famous criminal - Killer Frost.
Her partner was next to her, the only one she wasn't cold to. The only thing that made him stand out was the strange object on his chest, emitting an unusual light. But behind the mask of a simple man was Deathstorm. It was Firestorm's doppelganger, no less powerful. But unlike his copy on Earth-1, this man was much more ruthless, as well as stronger. Having absorbed his partner, his fire power went to a completely different level.
The third was a short man with long dark hair. He was the one who had brought them all here, the one who had predicted the arrival of the red-eyed man standing before them. Reverb, Cisco Ramon's doppelganger from Earth-1. His power was amazing, but unfortunately for him, he had not yet fully mastered it. Possess his full power and even Zoom wouldn't be able to control him. But he himself knew that his power might not be enough, which was why he had brought help here. That was why he had brought him...
The other, standing a little farther away, looked quite unusual, even his eyes were not human. He was dressed in an all-black suit, with a dark zipper on his chest and a couple of them on his creepy-looking mask. His eyes were completely black, and there was a strange tattered dark cloth around his mouth area. It was more like a demonic maw than a mouth. Of course even though it looked like that, it was actually a human, just with a slightly creepy mask and costume. What was even more unusual was the frequently blinking lightning bolts next to this person. They flashed quite often and had a light bluish hue to them. Because of the silence, the crackling of these lightning bolts seemed even louder and even drowned out the sound of the rain.
Four. Four meta humans, with incredible strength stood against one. Zoom scoffed, he didn't even put it in his eyes. The only reason for his arrival, was to preserve the lives of his handmaidens. Reverb's powers could still be useful, which was why he had decided to keep an eye on him. Hunger wasn't weak, but what could he do against the fastest man in the world?
The only thing that made him nervous was Hunger's reaction. A mocking smile and red squinted eyes. What made the speedster even angrier was the slight shiver when he looked directly into them....

The Reverb had arrived, which was good news. Dante wasn't so useless. Unfortunately, there was more bad news. In addition to Cisko, someone else had arrived. Deathstorm, Killer Frost, even Zoom honored me with his presence. I didn't see that coming, so perhaps the kid was able to predict my arrival. I wonder... did he predict his own death as well? Zoom's appearance was even more unpleasant, it wouldn't be hard to defeat the others, but him....
When the first trio arrived, led by Reverb, I didn't even bother, just stood and waited. But just a moment later, Zoom appeared before me. I squinted and looked at him, unfortunately it was hard to understand his reaction, his heart was beating differently than humans. But the reaction of the others was expected. No one was afraid of me, but they tried not to look me in the eye. The first to speak was Cisco:
«Tell me where my brother is, I already know he wasn't the one who spoke to me. So don't be stupid and tell me where he is and why you were looking for me.
I just ignored the guy's question. I couldn't take my eyes off Caitlin, I was amazed by her beauty.... Those eyes and pale skin... Damn, she looks so much better like that. If they asked me, I like Caitlin like that a lot more.
Yeah, I'm thinking about the wrong thing, the wrong thing.....
«Why are you hatching? - The girl asked irritably.
I shook my head and sighed:
«The original is still better, you're too violent.
«What? Are you talking to me? - The girl asked in surprise.
I grinned and turning to Cisco said:
«I've come to eat you, chase this rabble away and we'll get started. If not, they will suffer.
«Э... - Cisco didn't know what to answer, and then a creepy laugh was heard.
«Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! What chutzpah, ha ha ha ha ha ha.... - Zoom laughed wickedly, Caitlin and Ronnie looked at me mockingly. Even Cisco grinned and shook his head:
«Sounds like you're an idiot.
I smiled and sighed:
«Eh, you don't seem to realize the situation you're in.
After my words, Zoom's patience finally ran out and he growled:
«No! You don't understand! You come to my town and you think you're in charge?! Know your-- Ahem. - blood spurted from the speedster's mouth and he stared at his chest in amazement.
My hand flaunted right there, I held his beating heart lightly and tilted my head looking into the speedster's black eyes:
«Fastest, huh? Which do you think is faster, you or my hand on your heart?
«Ghghr... - Zoom continued to stare at my hand in astonishment as he mumbled something incoherent. I smiled and hit him on the head with my free hand.
*♪ Bang ♪
The speedster immediately passed out. I crouched down and, pulling out a flask, dripped a couple of drops on the hole in his chest. The wound began to heal quickly, and in just a few seconds, there wasn't even a scar.
