Chapter 5 by Rowenar Rowenar

What happens?

She gets stopped by a familiar face

She saw movement.

That alone almost made her come to a screeching halt; only the panic at being seen in her lacking sleepwear made her keep running, keep trying to accelerate. How did she see something move?! She was going at- she didn't even know how fast.

Maybe it was her imagination. Yeah. That was definitely the better option.

And then there was another flash of yellow. Eyes widening, Nora focused, trying to move faster; why couldn't she reach the speed ****?! She'd gotten here, she knew she could go fast enough, she just needed to concentrate...

Not that it was particularly easy to concentrate with the air rushing past her bare legs.

Yellow lightning streaked past her - oh god they were faster - and she just caught a glimpse of red before they stopped in front of her, bringing them both to a sudden stop.

Nora stumbled, hurriedly tugging her shirt back down, frantically trying to hide her panties as she glanced around.

Ok, still outside, but thankfully this world's speedster had opted to stop her away from any crowd. Probably a smart move from their perspective, even if it meant she'd have to get up to speed again.

She straightened, catching her breath-

Then froze to see the red-suited speedster in front of her. Ok, she could only see maybe half of his face, but that little combined with the suit and powers and...

"Dad?!" Nora squeaked, still struggling with her top.

Barry tilted his head.

"I doubt it," he said. His voice reverberated, like even Nora had done when talking to people in costume.

"What? I-" Nora said, then squeaked again. Wait, she knew how the multiverse worked, there were countless Barry Allens out there, only one of them would know her at this point in time.

So he was this Earth's Barry, this Earth's Flash. Which would take even more explaining.

"What do you think you're doing?" 'Barry' said, the echoing voice produced as he vibrated his vocal cords rather impressively intimidating. "You know the law and you've broken it twice over. If you come quietly-"

"What?!" Nora squeaked again. "I wasn't- I didn't hurt anyone, I was just-"

"You're dressed," Barry said. "And I haven't heard of you, so you can't be licensed to use your powers. I don't know what you thought you were doing, but if you truly didn't hurt anyone we can work this out, but you need to at least try to obey the law."

Huh?!

Wait. Nora's eyes widened; from what she'd seen, none of the women on this world were dressed. Was that what he meant by law-

Oh god, no way, oh no. Nora nervously glanced over her shoulder, still crouching slightly to try and hide her panties. he wanted her to what?!

"I'm, uh, not from here," Nora tried. "I didn't know. Uh, if you just point me the way out of here..."

"You..." Barry said, and paused. He sighed. "A breacher?"

"What?" Nora said. "Uh. Kind of. I guess. You know about the multiverse?"

"We've had visitors," Barry said. "It's my job to keep the peace, that involves finding a lot of people like you, meta-humans out of control, or from backwards worlds where women are allowed clothes. There was that Gypsy who visited a while ago. You do stand out."

"Backwards?!" Nora echoed.

"What would you call it?" Barry said.

"Normal!"

"Maybe where you're from," Barry said. "But while you're in our world I can't just let you flout the law."

Nervously, Nora clutched at her top, cheeks burning.

He wanted her to take it off. It'd have been humiliating enough even if he didn't look exactly like her father; she wasn't going to be seen naked by him!

And on top of that they were still in the middle of the street, even if people were keeping their distance.

"If you let me run-" Nora said.

There was a streak of yellow, and a click. Nora squeaked to suddenly feel a metal bracelet around her wrist.

"We have a zero tolerance policy for unlicensed meta-humans," Barry said. "You can work on that if you want, but I can't let you go around freely using such dangerous abilities, just like I can't allow you to go around wearing those," his tone turned distasteful, "Clothes."

Nora squeaked, hugging her arms around herself. Did he really expect her to strip down?!

She shifted again, nervously looking behind her. Oh god, there were more people gathering.

And by the feel of it, the bracelet was a power-dampener. And even if she could power through it, this world's Barry definitely seemed to be faster than her so she couldn't exactly run away as it was.

"Please," she squeaked.

"I won't help you while you're wearing that illegal garment," Barry said.

What does Nora do?
