Okay first off, the Flash series finale was amazing. Best one yet and remember, that's just my opinion. I'm thrilled that Caitlin is back, though I do wish that Carlos Valdes had been able to appear in it. I loved the final scene and I promise that aspects of the episode will appear in this story. Please do not turn this into another place to air your grievances about the show, since you should know by now I don't like those. Now onto the story.
While Barry was keeping Thawne occupied, the rest of Team Flash, including Henry, Tina and Chloe, took a breach to the Speed Sanctum.
"Cisco, do you have a lock on Barry and Thawne's location?" Caitlin asked, since now that Thawne had forced Barry to come clean to them about the old reality, there was no point in trying to keep up the facade, though luckily, more explanations could wait until after they put Thawne in a cell where he belonged.
"Yeah and get this, they're at Shark Stadium." Cisco said.
"What's the big deal about that?" Henry asked.
"That's where Barry and Thawne first met in the old reality. After Barry got his powers, that is, since Thawne's the one who killed his mom." Caitlin said regretfully.
"He's the one who killed Nora?" Henry asked angrily and Caitlin and Cisco both nodded, since both Iris and Frost had left to head to Cisco's workshop.
"Yeah, he is and Barry has been fighting him for years." Cisco said.
"I'm going out there." Henry said, since now that he had his speed back, there was no way he was sitting this out.
"Bad idea. No offense Mr. Allen, but you just got your speed back and we don't even know how you lost it. We have no way of knowing how your speed came back or if it's permanent." Caitlin said.
"Okay, then I'll go. That lunatic just tried to kill me, I want some payback." Chloe said, since she wanted to take on her first baddie.
"No way, this guy is way too dangerous for a teenager to take on. Your brother spent years fighting him on the old earth and it took him years to get the experience he needed to be able to fight him." Cisco said.
"I'm just as good as Barry, I can do this." Chloe insisted, only to have her parents shake her head.
"I'm sorry Chloe, but I agree with Cisco, we don't know enough about this guy, but clearly your brother and his friends do. It's too dangerous for someone so young to face." Henry said and Tina nodded.
"Chloe, I know you want to help, but you're still learning. You don't have the experience needed to take on a criminal of this caliber." Tina said.
"But." Chloe said, right as Frost returned, now dressed in her suit.
"Don't worry kid, we got this." Frost said with a grin as Iris returned as well, now dressed in a deep purple suit that was definitely new in this world.
"That's new." Cisco said, since he knew he'd never made that suit.
"Yeah, it's a family heirloom. What do you think?" Iris asked as she showed off her costume, which Cisco had to admit, was impressive. Her suit was dark purple and on the chest it had a white emblem on it that could only be described as angel wings on it and around Iris's neck was her heaven totem. The suit had what looked like angelic designs patterned all over it and the further down Iris's body it went, the more it began to turn from purple to gold. The arms on her suit were semi sleeveless, with sleeves covering the bottom of her arms, but straps covering her wrists and the middle of her arms and her face was a golden mask that was patterned like angel wings and Iris was also wearing a golden belt with the same pattern on it.
"Looks good. Though what are the slots on the back for?" Cisco asked, since while he had an idea, he needed to see for himself and Iris rolled her eyes at that.
"Well, one of the perks of using a totem that comes from angels is that I can do this." Iris said as she tapped her necklace and sure enough, two large white angel wings appeared to spout from her back.
"So cool." Cisco said.
"Does he at least get to name you?" Caitlin asked, since Cisco was too busy geeking over Iris's suit to ask.
"No, I'm using the same name all my ancestors before me have used. Celestial." Iris said and Cisco couldn't deny that was a sweet name.
"Fine." Cisco said, though he couldn't deny that he was disappointed.
"Hey, you've named literally every meta in the city, you can get by letting me go by my family's name." Iris said, right as Wally sped in.
"And you've got a suit too?" Cisco complained as Iris retracted her wings.
"Yes, but I have been thinking about rebranding." Wally said and Cisco grinned at that.
"Yeah, Kid Flash doesn't really suit you anymore. Besides, I got a better name for you. What do you think about Impulse?" Cisco asked and Wally grinned.
"I like it." Wally said, since that name definitely seemed more like him.
"Good." Cisco said.
"Anyways, I'm here to bring Iris and Crystal to the fight, since Cisco clearly isn't geared up for it." Wally said.
"I'll catch up as soon as I'm sure that girl wonder here won't go running after you." Cisco said.
"Come on, you're letting them get in on the action." Chloe said.
"No Chloe. I may not know this character as well as they do, but I can clearly tell that he's too dangerous to let a teenage girl fight." Henry said.
"But dad." Chloe insisted as Cisco pressed a few keys on the computer.
"I opened the anti speedster cell if you want to put her in there." Cisco offered.
"That is tempting." Henry said, looking at his daughter.
"Dad." Chloe said.
"Chloe, you'll get your chance, but this isn't it. Now, are you going to stay here on your own or are we going to have to use the cell?" Tina asked and before Chloe could even respond, her father sped her into the open cell, which closed as soon as she was in it.
"Really dad?" Chloe asked.
"I'm sorry Chloe, but I already lost my first wife to this monster and he nearly killed you too. I'm not risking your life. Once your brother gets back, we'll talk about what's next." Henry said as he returned to the Cortex to find Wally gone with Crystal and Iris, Caitlin sitting at the computers and Cisco now suited up as well.
"Caitlin, you got mission control?" Cisco asked.
"Yeah, now go help kick Thawne's ass." Caitlin said.
"With pleasure. Are they still at the stadium" Cisco asked.
"Yep. Barry and Thawne are currently trying to kill each other again and while Wally's en route, if you don't get there, I think Barry might finally kill him." Caitlin said.
"I'm on it." Cisco said as he opened a breach and jumped through it.
