I hope you all enjoy this double update.


"Man, this thing brings back memories." Barry comments.

"Good ones? Bad ones?" Ralph asks.

"Thawne ones." Barry and I answer at the same time.

"We trapped the Reverse-Flash in this thing before we even knew he was Thawne." Barry explains.

"But we actually ended up trapping his Speed Mirage. While his real self just sat there chilling in his wheelchair." Cisco chimes in.

"I kind of respect his scheming ways." Damian adds.

"Vibrating hand through the chest!" Cisco yells.

"And you're alive, aren't you!"

"Man, Thawne's plans got plans." Ralph comments as he looks at the trap.

"But fear not, true believers. The Thawne Trap 2.0 is smaller, sleeker, and stronger." Cisco assures us. "I've gone ahead and sharpened the inflection points to account for your Negative Speed Force energy. So if you go full Dante's Peak in there, we'll be safe out there. And Anna, please, girl, save us." Cisco begs me.

"Smooth." Damian comments.

"I will place a forcefield around for extra protection." I explain to Nora.

"It also means I can't phase in there if you need me." Barry adds.

"We're going to be here the whole time." I reassure her.

"You always area." I bring Nora in for a hug, not wanting to waste a moment with her.

"I love you, my sweet Nora." I whisper to her.

"I love you too, mom." She squeezes me back.

"You got this." Barry encourages her as she steps inside.

"Let's go catch our big bad." Nora mutters. Cisco turns on the machine, and I place a forcefield around, keeping Nora inside.

"They're connected." I announce.

"I can see the completed atomizer." Nora informs us as red lightning strikes against the forcefield. "But I can't see where she's taking it."

"Remember Nora, that's not your anger. It's hers." Barry reminds her. More lighting strikes against the walls.

"Okay, something pissed her off." Ralph comments.

"Nora, fight through it. This is not your hate. It is not your anger." I instruct her, but the red lighting just grows with intensity.

"Uh, is that bad?" Ralph asks Cisco.

"Well, it's not good idiot!" Damian scolds him.

"I'm pulling her out." Cisco announces.

"No." I yell. "I can hold her off, but she needs to get control. We need to believe in her." Cisco looks to Barry.

"She's got this." Barry backs me up. Nora's nose starts to bleed, and the machine shuts off. I thrust my hand out, encircling Nora's body with my powers keeping her from hitting her head on the way down. Barry and I rush to her side.

"Nora." Barry checks her over to make sure she's okay.

"She's... she's at CCPD." Nora pants.

"Cicada's at CCPD, but she could use the atomizer to spread the virus from anywhere." Ralph points out.

"There are hundreds of metas there." Iris reminds us. "She's going to try and take all of their lives."

"Not their lives. Their dark matter." Nora corrects.
