Chapter 26: Tom the Wizard
(Team Flash POV)
"How the hell has it already healed so much." Caitlyn muttered in shock, as she did an X-ray and was able to see Barry's spinal injury.
"So?" Iris questioned, asking Caitlyn to share her data.
Caitlyn then pulled up 2 different images of Barry's spine and showed one where his spine was curved and one that was visibly healed.
"He sped up your already insane healing process by at least 1 week."
The entire team stayed quite at this, as Barry was resting his head on his chin while viewing the whole image.
"How do you feel?" Iris asked, rubbing his shoulders.
"I felt as if a whole new world had been opened up to me." He said, as he thought back to when the man in the blue suit grabbed his arm.
"Like the speed force inside me had been amplified to crazy amounts, almost happy to share and amplify my energy."
"That makes a little sense, since the speedforce inside of your body had a permanent boost of a small amount."
"How small?" Cisco asked.
"0.0001%"
"I see, but an increase is an increase." Iris said, slightly happy as she continued, "This might be a way to stop Zoom."
Barry however didn't respond, as he just stared at his Flash suit.
"Well, we won't find him again anyway."
"Actually…" Cisco called out as he looked at the rest of the team.
"What did you do?" Iris asked in a scolding tone.
"It wasn't anything major, I just bugged the drive I gave him. So if he ever uses it I will know from where he had access to it."
"Did you just antagonize the man who tried to help us?" Caitlyn asked.
"Hey! I did no such thing, I just want to know who he is? Don't you?" Cisco asked as he turned towards the Flash who was sitting on the wheel chair.
Barry however was staring into space and didn't reply.

(Lucas POV)
"This is good." I told Steel as we both were in the invisible mode while running back towards the house.
"It is. We will be able to find out more about that crazy man now…also Lucas, I think that the energy the Flash uses to run has buffed our Turbo Speed mode by a little." Steel said, as he pulled up some charts of analysis inside of the suit.
"We have yet to test our max speed, but my hypothesis is if the Flash and you are able to form some sort of alliance, your Speed most will be buffed…by at maximum a thousand times. But a perfect synergy is impossible without stealing all of the Flash's speed, but we should be able to do 100 times our top speed." He said.
"So we should go out testing what our top speed is." I told him, as I took my phone which was buzzing from my suit pocket.
"It's the cat?" Steel questioned as he saw an image of Tom sniffing my phone camera, as if he was kissing it.
I remember that this was the first day Tom had come back to this world, and he was curious about what a phone was.
It was so cute I proceeded to put it as my wallpaper too.
"No shit Steel." I said as I moved to an abandoned alley and deactivated the stealth mode, and answered the video call.
As the video opened, I was able to see Tom wearing what seemed to be a wizard robe.
He also has a pointy wizard hat which complimented his wooden wand which he was pointing at what seemed to be a cauldron with green liquid inside of it.
On the liquid was a physical photo of myself, and after showing me that image, Tom showed me a frightened expression while pointing at my photo that was dissolving.
"Tom, where did you get those Harry Potter glasses and scar?" I asked since he had a lightning scar on his face.
Tom however ignored what I said and shook his head while pointing at my photo which was not completely dissolved.
"What is this stupid cat trying to say?" Steel asked.
Tom then changed the view a little to show that he was literally using Buzz to stir the boiling liquid, and he then threw some catnip into the solution…wait a minute.
"TOM. How did you get more catnip!" I scolded but my cat ignored me as he began running around the house in complete panic.
"Alright fine, explain slowly."
As I saw Tom comically throw his hands around to try and explain what was going on, I finally understood what was happening.
"Are you saying if I come back home right now something bad will happen to us?" I asked, to which Tom nodded crazily and then pointed towards our fridge.
"...And that we will lose a lot of food?"
He then nodded again.
"Then what do you want us to do?" I questioned to which he motioned for me to stay right where I was, as he cut the call off.
"Is he always like this?" Steel asked.
"You should get it, you have been with him for a couple of weeks now."
"And I still don't get it."
"And if you as an advanced Alien Robot don't get it how the hell am I, a normal human, supposed to?"
Right as I finished that, a shadow went right past us, and I looked up into the sky to see something.
Was it a plane?
Was it a bird?
No…it was Tom on a broom.
As he landed onto the ground, he held his wizard hat in place as he quickly ran towards me and then passed me Buzz before reaching into my pockets.
"How the hell did this cat get through the biotech defenses?!" Steel questioned again as he watched Tom's paws just go through the armor.
"Lucas…save me…" Buzz asked in a pleading tone, and I sighed while cleaning him up from the disgusting goo he was covered in.
Buzz then fainted, and I felt held him in my hands letting the poor toy rest.
"AH!" Tom exclaimed in happiness as he took out the thumbdrive Cisco had passed to me before.
He stared at it for a second and grabbed it with his paws tightly before raising his paw into the air like he just didn't care.
"WAIT WAIT WAIT." I got onto my knees as I pleaded for him to not do anything rash.
Tom looked at me with a questioning look, but he still had his paw raised into the air.
"Tom, that drive is very important, could you at least tell me why you want to break it?" I asked, to which Tom scratched his chin in question.
"You don't know?"
He nodded.
"What can I do to convince you to not smash the drive?"
He shook his head, saying there was nothing could do whatsoever to avoid it.
"Come on Tom…how about you check first and then let me know about why you have to smash it? I promise I will give you more treats."
He deadpanned at me to which I responded, "Yes yes, I should be giving you more treats anyway…your right. How about I finally let you try alcohol? Haven't you been asking for so long?"
Tom immediately brought the drive to his eyes and began getting to work.
"If this cat gets drunk…I am doomed." Buzz managed to mutter as he heard the whole conversation before being knocked out again.
I then watched as Tom flexed one of his paws slightly before a massive claw popped up from his index finger.
I looked on with confusion as Tom used his claw to tinker with the drive.
"Wait you stupid cat you're going to spoil that!" Steel shouted as he emerged from my chest.
However Tom's claw perfectly dismantled the device as he took out a small chip.
"How is that even possible?" Steel asked in shock as Tom passed me the chip before taunting Steel.
'How can you still question my greatness?' Tom's pose sent that message, as he puffed his chest out which looked hilarious since he was currently still drowning in wizard robes.
'I love my cat.' I thought as I pet his head.
