The Warehouse: Sunday Evening

[badassprodigy]

Barry was still at work trying to find signs of what was causing the weekend to be so fucked up.

And of course that's when music began to swell in the warehouse while Barry brought up his phone... and sang.

Computers are better than people
Siri, don't you think that's true?

And the crazy thing? Siri sang back.

Yes, Barry. People are stupid and slow and would eat their own poo
Every one of them is inefficient except you.

But people are kinder than computers.
Siri, don't you think I'm riiiiiiiight?

That's once again true,
for all except you.

You got me, let's call it a night.

Good night, Barry.

Don't let the software bugs biiiiiiiite.

Barry let out a long sign. "One more thing I have to fucking research," he muttered to himself.

"I know," Kathy said softly. "It's not like I meant to duke it out with my roommate's doppelganger--"

Exactly. Though she certainly hadn't backed off any, once he's started going all megalomaniacal on her.

"He was talking about taking over the island. That kind of behavior is technically under my purview."

"Yeah, well that shit happens all the time around here, doesn't it?" Barry said rolling his eyes. "But we usually get a bunch of people pulled in to take care of this crap, right?"

"Because I had time to go around and check who's still themselves?" Kathy grumbled before bowing her head. Barry was serious, this wasn't the time for snark. "Sorry. It just all happened really fast. One minute, he was offering to be friends, the next he was plotting to take over as mayor and threatening to shut Minako up permanently because she kept barking at him. It's not like the time I got my ass handed to me by the creepy monster on the warehouse roof. This time everything seemed totally normal and then got super-creepy wicked fast."

"And you tried to take him on yourself? Or did you consider retreating at all. We talked yesterday. You knew I was normal, right? We listened to the radio and knew people who was or wasn't out of their fucking minds, right" Barry said crossing his arms. His tone wasn't angry. Just... lecturey.

"In fairness, I didn't listen to radio today. I slept through it and then Minako needed walkies before I could boot up the podcast." And that had turned into finding Chase in the park and one thing led to another led to her getting wrecked in the park.

"Okay, so it went down like this. He was normal, he turned creepy, I told him we weren't going to let him take over the island, he telekinetically threw rocks at me, I dodged and kicked him, then he teleported away and suddenly there's a mini-hurricane all around me and he's flinging lightning bolts and it's all I can do to keep standing, never mind run away anywhere. Then he flung Minako, I dove and caught her, slammed into a tree, and then the storm was gone because he was throwing rocks again."

And her ability to dodge had been greatly impeded by her dislocated shoulder.

"I was planning to bail as soon as I could walk again. He set the fire, I jumped over it, and tried to make my getaway. There wasn't a whole lot of time for calling the cavalry. There wasn't much time for anything."
