The Flash: Paradox

Inertia/Cobalt Blue

(CC Jitters)

Iris West sat in her seat at Jitters. She received a call yesterday from Meloni and Eleanor. She remained in contact with them even after Eddie was gone. These two helped her a lot, and she was more than pleased to talk with them and she loved little Maggie too. She wasn't able to get in touch with them for past few months because of what's been happening with the Team and DeVoe.

She was surprised when she received a sudden call from them, but she was more than willing to meet them, especially with what happened to Grandma Agnes. She still can't believe Matt would do that.

So she sat there playing with Maggie and talking with Meloni and Elenor when suddenly the later two shot to their feet an expression of fear over their faces. Iris turned to look where they were looking at and there stood Matthais seething with rage, and than his chest lit up and so did his hands with blue flames.

'So Maggie was telling the truth when she said he hurt grandma Agnes.' Iris thought as she whipped out her phone to call Barry or her father, but before she could Meloni pulled her and Maggie back as Elenor flipped the table the blue flame striking the face of the table as it burned.

"What the hell is happening?!" Iris asked covering Maggie.

"I don't----" Meloni began but stopped as purple and yellow lightning arrived shoving Matt aside who flew into the the wall. From the lightning appeared a girl in her early twenties who looked over them as the expression of relief washed over her face before she looked behind them a glare taking over her.

Elenor looked behind them to see a man, face covered with a hood sitting there who slowly brought his hands up and clapped in a very dramatic fashion.

"Bravo Ms. Allen, Bravo." The man muttered. "That was a good save, right at the last moment, gives more of a heroic feel doesn't it?" The man said as he took a sip from his coffee and Allen? Eleanor turned to look at Iris in confusion, who was also surprised.

"What are you doing here Thawne?!" Iris heard Nora growls and Iris did a double take. Thawne?! Was that Eobard? Beside her Meloni also looked shocked.

"What no greeting?" Thawne said as she snarled. "What's with that attitude, well if you want to know what I am here for than I am here to wipe out that pathetic stain to the name Thanwe!" Last part was said with venom lacing his words and a glare towards Meloni and Maggie who were confused at the said glare, the latter one hiding behind her mother.

"Funny, you should say that!" Nora shot back with a smirk of her own, as a frown settled on Thawne's face. "Considering you are not even a real Thawne, nothing but a clone!"

"You mean like your brother." Thawne shot back.

"You are nothing like my brother!" Nora growled out in return.

"Oh believe me, I don't want to be either." Thawne spoke in a condescending tone. "I mean being someone like Bart, the world has enough trouble with only one of them, imagine there being two." There was a pause before Thawne continued. "Speaking of Bart, there is another thing I should do." His glance turned to only Iris. "I have to thank the mother-daughter duo for helping me take care of Bart, I mean if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found a way to incapacitate him, much less the condition I-I am sorry-we left him in."

"Stop talking!" Nora growled eyes burning with anger.

"Or what?" Thawne shot back, raising his arms and pushing his hood back to reveal his face shocking Iris, Meloni and Eleanor.

"Eddie?" Iris asks looking at the face of the man she once loved. But that couldn't be, he died, she mourned him.

Meanwhile Matthais stood up behind him his chest, a suit forming around him and blue flames covering his hands, surprising Maggie.
