A Change - vampire AU

[chosenbylightning]

The call to St. Louis had been a frantic one. While the team at S.T.A.R. Labs had thought Central City was facing another metahuman attack, it was, in fact, a deeply curious vampire who wished to taste the blood of metahumans.

Barry's blood loss had been catastrophic. His suit slashed to ribbons and vampire blood staining his lips as Cisco and Caitlin brought him home. While they worked to stabilize Barry, Joe called the one person who might be best suited to help his son.

Jason, and possibly Jean-Claude as well.

Someone had to. Metahumans they could handle. Not vampires.

Jason KNEW something was wrong. It had been a growing, gnawing thing in his guts the entire afternoon. The attack on Central City had been on the news, but nobody had known the reason behind it.

Then there'd been the call from Joe, frantic and confirming the worst. Normally, it would have been Jason driving, but considering everything, Jean-Claude had put a call in to Anita. Something the Central City police might not do, depending on how they felt about federal executioners. Though Jean-Claude might want a crack at the vampire first, considering it was known in the vampire courts that Central City was under his jurisdiction. Even if the specific reasons why weren't as well known.

But Jean-Claude would put that on the back burner for the moment. Because Jason was barely paying attention to him, instead keeping on the conversation with Joe.

Not that he could offer much help at the moment. Over the phone, all he could tell them was the obvious: keep Barry alive. Blood transfusions, liquids. Anything to counteract the blood loss. There was nothing they could do to get the vampire blood out, which meant that if Barry died, there was a chance that he would come back as a vampire.

And, depending on how it interacted with Barry's powers, could be even worse than normal. A vampire as fast as Barry was bad enough. It was the metabolism that scared Jason.

Losing Barry scared him more.

By the time they got to S.T.A.R. Labs, though, Jason was not in a good place. His eyes had bled from light blue to leaf green, meaning his wolf was bleeding over. But he wasn't going to let it go. Not unless he needed to. And, luckily, somebody had been sent up to escort him and Jean-Claude down.
