Catastrophe-2

King of the Ocean

Sorry for the long wait in between updates but here is the next chapter enjoy.

Nora's POV

How did I travel back in time? How is this happening? How can I make it stop? These are the questions that keep passing through my mind with every chance I try and prevent someone from dying. Each time I fail and someone else is put in danger. It seems like no matter what I do it's never enough. 52 times I've tried to be the hero my parents believe I can be and 52 times I have failed. I walk slowly back into the lab dreading having to fail once again. I stop as I see they are all gathered around talking to each other which is different from the other times. "You're reversing time, aren't you?" Mom asks me. I nod my head confirming the sad truth.

"And no matter what I do I can't fix it." I quickly explain to them everything that's happened.

"So all of us die?" Aunt Iris asks.

"Sometimes. Or just one of you. Sometimes Cecile, but every time, there's at least one."

"I thought I was having déjà vu." Cisco mutters.

"Hmm?"

"I keep seeing my date with Kamilla again and again, me failing miserably every time by using these." He motions to Ralph's cyberstalking evidence. "I'm not having déjà vu. I'm vibing the past hour over and over."

"Yes."

"How many times has this happened?" Sherloque asks me.

"52."

"52?" Caitlin exclaims shocked.

"Let me guess Rapunzel was killed 50 of the times." Damian jokes.

"Actually you were the first one killed."

"What?!" He yells.

"HAAA!" Cisco pokes fun at him.

"Yo..."

"Stop it both of you." Mom separates them with her powers as we process the issue at hand.

"This is one of those fixed points the Legends theorized, isn't it?" Ralph asks. "There's no way to keep one of us from dying."

"We have to get Barry." Aunt Iris says.

"No, I tried that, but there's something wrong with me. I can't get into the Speed Force."

"Well, then we'll just wait here until he gets back." Caitlin suggests.

"No, if we do that, Cicada will kill Cecile."

"So just reverse time and go back to before he left." Ralph suggests next.

"No, I've tried that too, but I can't control it. It doesn't' matter what I try to do. Nothing works!" I run away feeling helpless and knowing this hour is almost up and someone will die and it's because I wasn't fast enough.

"Want to talk about it?" Mom asks me.

"Cisco already talked to me."

"About the vibrating hand from Eobard Thawne." She sits down across from me in the Pipeline. "This isn't your fault Nora."

"Then why do I feel like everyone's life is in my hands?"

"That's part of being a hero. What you're doing is nothing different from what your dad would do."

"Really?" She nods her head.

"It's okay to feel frustrated but you don't need to blame yourself. Some things can't easily be fixed by changing the past. No matter how much we want to."
