Chapter 25: Rogue Air (and the Idol's Escape Plan)
"Okay, so, prison break time!" Adam announced, watching the S.T.A.R. Labs team prepare to transport the metahumans from the pipeline to Lian Yu. "And guess who they're enlisting for help? Our favorite ice-cold betrayer, Captain Cold, and his pyro sidekick, Fire Boy! What could possibly go wrong? I'm sensing a theme here: 'Trust the villains, get betrayed.' It's like a bad sitcom, but with more explosions."
Jisoo, who was meticulously arranging a bowl of assorted berries, looked up. "They are… not very trustworthy, Snack King. Like a very loud, off-key song." She was wary of the Rogues, but also intrigued by their dynamic. She was also deeply concerned about the escaped metahumans and was already mentally tracking their potential escape routes.
Adam knew Snart's betrayal was coming. He couldn't stop it, but he could certainly make it more… entertaining.
"System, Minor Wish: 'Inside-Out Clothes.' Target: All escaping metahumans. Activate when they make their move."
[SYSTEM MESSAGE]: Minor Wish 'Inside-Out Clothes' Used. Cost: 40 Days. Current Wish Balance: 191 Days. Metahumans' frustration: High. Host's amusement: High.
As Snart and Rory unleashed the metahumans, chaos erupted. But just as the villains were making their escape, a strange shimmer passed over them. Suddenly, every single escaping metahuman's clothes spontaneously turned inside out. A hulking strongman found his shirt reversed, a speedster's pants were suddenly inside out, and a woman who could control shadows found her entire outfit flipped. They all paused, bewildered, fumbling with their suddenly unwearable attire.
"What the…?! My pants!" a metahuman yelled, tripping over his own reversed trousers.
The momentary confusion was enough for Barry and the team to regain control of a few of the escapees.
"Did… did their clothes just turn inside out?" Caitlin asked, utterly confused.
"It's a new fashion trend, Cait," Adam said, trying to look innocent. "You're welcome, Central City. You got a little less chaos, and I got a lot of laughs."
Later, Adam saw Eddie Thawne, looking overwhelmed by the sheer madness of the Flash's world. "Poor Eddie. Always caught in the crossfire. Time for a little confidence boost."
"Detective Thawne," Adam said, "you look like you're about to spontaneously combust from all the superhero drama. How about a temporary 'confidence boost' wish? Make you feel like you can take on a whole army of inside-out metahumans. For, say, sixty days."
Eddie, looking utterly exhausted, sighed. "Sixty days? What is that even… you know what? Fine. Just… make me feel like I can handle this."
[SYSTEM MESSAGE]: Wish Trade initiated. Customer: Eddie Thawne. Wish: Confidence Boost. System Estimate: 30 Days. Host Proposed Trade: 60 Days. Profit: 30 Days. Customer agreed. Wish granted. Current Wish Balance: 221 Days.
A subtle surge of self-assurance washed over Eddie, making him stand a little taller, his shoulders relaxing.
As the remaining metahumans tried to escape, Jisoo, with a deadpan expression, began to subtly manipulate space. Small, shimmering distortions, like heat hazes, appeared around some of the more dangerous escapees. They would run through a doorway, only to find themselves inexplicably back in their cells, or in another part of the pipeline. It was like a magical, invisible maze.
"Did… did I just run in a circle?" a metahuman muttered, finding himself back where he started.
Jisoo simply smiled. "They are not very smart. Like a very simple song."
Adam watched her, a profound sense of pride swelling in his chest. "My Jichu. Turning a prison break into a game of magical whack-a-mole. And my Wish Day balance is looking healthy. This is going to be a good year."
