Scarlet's Wolf (chapter 9, post 2)

Chapter 9

The news of Simon Stagg’s death took over Central City’s news outlets for days.  Len and company had had a hell of a time calming Black down after he’d seen it, raging as he was that he had been cheated of avenging his wife, making enough copies of himself to fight against all of them until Barry had sped in and knocked him out again.

That had been days ago now, and Len was still scowling at the news.  Simon Stagg had been found dead in his own office the very same night that Barry had brought Black to him and had gathered them all together.  None of the media wanted to let it go because of how clean a kill the scene was, how perfect the break-in, like the murderer had walked in and no one had tried to stop them.

Observational notes, B. Allen:

While Snart said that Chain couldn’t move as fast as me on his own, when I grabbed Snart and Clyde Chain ran at my speed right next to me, pacing me just fine.  Makes me wonder if Clyde’s familiar was able to keep pace with me, or Mark’s, or Snart’s associates, or even Black’s familiar so that none of them separated from them.

I know Nor and I are kind of an anomaly with being able to be so far apart from each other, but can other familiars be separated from their humans with no ill side effects?  There’s just no way to test this!

Chapter 7

Observational notes, B. Allen:

It’s fascinating to know that my soulmates familiar was effected by the accelerator just because I was affected by it.  Ironically it’s a cheetah, so it could already run pretty fast, but now it runs inside the lightning like I can.  It’s lightning color isn’t the same as mine though, a paler shade.  I wonder if my soulmate picked up on that?

I wonder if other people’s paired familiars also got toned down versions of what they can do?  Can you imagine a familiar controlling the weather, on small scale, because their human got upset or was being bullied?

Speaking of doing things on behalf of their humans...Nor has been affecting other people for a while now, no crazy burst of dark matter needed...Did my soulmate dump all of his character points into charisma or something and that’s leaking over into Nor?

(Nor stop looking at me like that, these are my notes, and if I want to make a dumb reference that no one will get, then who will know?  No one, that’s who, because they’re my notes)

—

The sofa did not swallow Barry up, letting him escape whatever questions Snart had for him, it made him sad, which made Chain sad, which made the cheetah go and huddle against Snart and that just made the criminal stare at him harder.  Fantastic.  Barry sped through eating another pizza.

Nor had to hop up next to him and hold his paw out, as if he was going to put it on Barry’s arm, which would have been dumb because at the speed Barry was eating he could have gotten hurt.  Barry slowed to a stop and only then did Nor put his paw on Barry’s arm.

“Stop, breath, breath again, drink water, breath,” the wolf said.  Barry saw Snart raise an eyebrow out of the corner of his eye, but he still did what his familiar said.
