As the sound he didn't even know he could make grinds its way out of his mouth, Barry slides down the wall, feeling a bit like a cartoon fly that's just gotten smacked with the swatter. He'd really thought this one would be simple. Crazy angry meta - yep. Done that. Explosive powers - sure! A couple of times. But a meta capable of forming a violently expanding energy field around themselves? That's new.
Due to the spherical shape of the energy blast, it's not one Barry can run around, either, only away from, which makes it hard to get to the meta to incapacitate him long enough to stop him from -
Barry shakes his head, for a moment too addled by his impact with the wall to remember the meta's scheme. Oh right, he thinks, staring up at the stone building, rob the bank, because why not? "Listen!" he calls, fighting down a burst of hysteria as he looks at the exploding man. Even if he hadn't had these telekinetic energy powers, the meta would look like a villain. His shirt is even striped. All he needs is a bag of gold with a dollar sign on it, and the look would be complete.
"There are innocent people here!" say Barry, motioning to the streets. "I know you don't want to hurt them, but I can't let you take that money."
"Fat chance," replies the meta with a snarl, and as he turns to the onlookers, Barry curses himself for giving him the idea. As the concussive energy expands outward from the meta, Barry runs, removing each onlooker from its path, but he can't keep doing this and catch the meta.
He hates when he has to choose.
