I couldn't help but play with the note that Serena's friend passed to me for a bit.
When should I call her? If I called her immediately, would I seem too desperate? Or do girls like that? Who should I even ask for advice? Barry clearly has a lot on his plate and we can't 100% be called friends.
"Everybody on the ground! Now!"
Ahh what the hell! A mugging only a week after opening?
I could see 10 men all in black clothes and masks covering their faces entering with guns.
Which idiot thought it would smart to rob a fucking coffee shop? Serena's friend who was about to exit the shop was thrown back in and she fell onto the floor.
I could see her visibly shocked and fear was evident on her face.
Discreetly grabbing my phone, I tried to dial the police.
"You! Hands up, NOW!" One of the men said as he pointed his gun at me and charged in my direction.
"Alight." I said in a calm tone and raised my hand in the air.
The man grabbed my phone and slammed it onto the ground completely shattering it.
I used the necklace Tom had given me to send a transmission to Steel asking him to hurry his way towards me.
Maybe Tom should learn Fuinjutsu and master the flying raijin or something to help me avoid this.
The man aggressively grabbed my hands and tried to get me to move. It was pitiful to be honest, but I didn't resist.
I wasn't really scared, mainly because Steel assured me his armor can survive even missiles, we only had to be afraid of Atomic Bombs. The Atomic bombs couldn't even break the armor, but the blunt force would kill me.
The armor was nigh indestructible and was on me 24/7.
I was thrown right next to Serena's friend who had tears welling up in her eyes and was holding back her emotions.
"Stay here you piece of shit or I will blow your brains out." The man said as he placed the barrel of the gun at the back of my head and pushed me.
I just nodded at his words.
Serena's friend was shaken by his words and tried to crawl aside.
"You bitch! Don't move!" Tha man shouted as he raised his leg to stomp her.
I moved in the way, protecting her as he stomped my back. Honestly, it felt more like an itch but everyone around me didn't know that.
"You think you are a hero man? Let's see you be a hero when I unload this into your head."
Now that sounded so wrong.
"Stop fooling around and set up for the flash." A man stated as the group went around setting some traps up.
As they all left, Serena's friend looked towards me as tears threatened to drop from her eyes.
"You good?" I asked her, trying to calm her down.
"Do I look good? I am trapped in this shit hole and am about to die a stupid death without accomplishing anything in my life! I have so many things left to wear before I die!" She started to sob silently.
I tried to console her, as I hugged her with one hand to calm her down.
The Turbo energy in my body began to move on my own without listening to my commands and moved towards Serena's friend.
"Thanks." She murmured.
"No need to mention it. By the way, what is your name?" I asked as she began to get comfortable in my arms.
"Blair Waldorf." She replied.
Isn't she going to ask mine? Isn't that how a conversation works? "Get ready, Flash should be here any second!" Right, we were getting mugged right now.
Right as I thought that, my Turbo energy began to sense a supersonic speedster running my way, something Steel taught me to do.
But the thing is, he was running right into the trap.
The flash came right from the entrance of the store, where the robbers had set up invisible wires meant to trap him.
They were literally invisible, the second they were installed they disappeared from everyone's view.
So as the Flash ran into the wires, he got tangled and crashed into the opposite side of the entrance as he tried to slow down.
"Flash!" One of the patrons shouted excitedly thinking they were saved.
But as they saw their savior uselessly on the floor, injured due to crashing into the walls at insane speed and unable to get out of the wires, they began to be worried.
"Barry, Phase out of that." I could clearly hear Cisco's voice from the suit.
"I can't. My speed is dampened!" He whispered to make sure the other people didn't hear him.
"Well well well, we caught the big fish." One of the men walked up towards the Flash and pointed his gun at him.
"You move and everyone here including yourself dies." He said.
It was now that it became crystal clear to me that they didn't come to rob the shop, they came to trap the flash. Well at least they didn't risk going to prison for 200 dollars.
That's all I had in the box.
Split that among 10 people that's 20 each. What would be the point of that?
I felt Steel getting closer, so I just needed to be patient for a bit, I am sure the little Alien would think of something on his way here.
"Then let everyone here go." Barry said, as he stood up while still struggling in the restraints.
"No…I don't think I will." He said, as he used the back of his rifle to knock the Flash back into the ground.
"Stay Down Flash," He muttered as he carried Barry on his shoulders and looked towards the rest of his men. "Well what are you waiting for? Blow this place to shit." He commanded as he adjusted Barry on his shoulders.
"Say cheese!" I heard a robotic voice say, as it crashed into the window of the store and expelled the majority of the Turbo energy he stored.
Everyone in the vicinity immediately got blinded.
As they got blinded, Steel reemerged with me to replenish his reserve of Turbo Energy.
"You can't do anything without me." He commented.
'Shut up.' I replied telepathically.
I could still see perfectly since Turbo Energy didn't affect me, my body was made of it.
I grabbed Blair and guided as many people as I could out of the Shop.
However as we were moving, one of the men held up his gun and shouted, "Screw this!"
He started to fire his gun in random directions causing massive damage everywhere.
'Steel, take care of him before someone gets hurt!' I quickly commanded.
Steel left me and began shooting his Turbo Beams towards all the men in black.
I was quickly able to evacuate most people, and Steel himself left the place through the air vents.
Before he did leave, he shot a beam towards the wire capturing the Flash, who soon regained consciousness.
Well, I guess I saved the day?
All in a day's work I guess.
