The next morning, Ethan woke up with a sense of determination coursing through his veins. Despite the dangers that lurked in the shadows, he was determined to make the most of his time in Central City and continue honing his skills as a hero and the wielder of the Omnitrix.

As he made his way to the dining room, Ethan was greeted by the familiar sight of Barry, Iris , and Joe seated around the table, enjoying breakfast together.

"Morning, Ethan. Sleep well?" Barry asked, flashing a warm smile as he motioned for Ethan to take a seat.

"Morning, Barry. Yeah, I slept fine," Ethan replied, returning the smile as he settled into his seat.

Over breakfast, the conversation flowed easily, filled with laughter. Ethan couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging as he listened to Barry and Joe swap stories about their latest adventures at CCPD, while Iris  regaled them with tales from her latest journalism assignment.
"Iris  I never knew you were interested in journalism" Ethan said trying to act the part of someone who didn't know much about them as he had just started living with them for almost a week.
"Well I've been blogging and been interested in journalism since I was little"  Iris  replied.
" That's great" Ethan replied as he picked up his sandwich.
"So what do you plan on doing today Ethan" Joe asked the young boy.
" Well nothing much, I guess I'll just take a trip round central city and get to know more places" he replied.
" That's great actually maybe later you can come over to CCPD and I'll show you around the city" Barry offered.

After breakfast, Ethan bid farewell to the Allen family and set out into the city, eager to begin his patrol. As he traversed the streets of Central City, he kept a vigilant eye out for any signs of trouble, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.

It wasn't long before Ethan to notice a commotion in a nearby alley.
As he rounded the corner, Ethan came face to face with a group of small-time crooks, harassing a lady.

Without hesitation, he activated the omnitrix and transformed into a towering red tetramand.

"Hey why don't y'all pick on someone your own size" Ethan said in tetramand form.

The thugs were shocked at the sight before them and some of them immediately emptied their guns on the alien before them but it touched nothing as the figure disappeared before their eyes.

He appeared behind one of the crooks and smashed his head into the wall causing the others to quickly turned around but four arms quickly took them all down.
After apprehending the crooks, he went around in different forms stopping crimes and helping the city but made sure not to let his human form be seen.

As the sun began to set, Ethan went to jitters to start his shift for the day. He got behind the counter and started attending to customers, apparently since he started working there the numbers of customers had increased especially the females as he had a look that was far above average.
Later that day, Barry and Cisco came over to jitters  when Ethan was about finishing his shift.
"Hey Barry, Cisco" he greeted the duo as he say down with them.
"Hey Ethan, how was your trip round central city, hope you had a great time" Barry asked
" It was eventful, a nice change in pace" he replied.
" Sorry I wasn't able to show you around like I said, somethings came up and I was needed at STAR Labs" Barry apologized.
" It's cool actually, I fully understand " Ethan replied. 'at least I was able to take care of somethings will looking around'.

Just as the trio where talking a blur burst into the shop hitting all three guy to the floor, Ethan looked at what had hit them and was shocked to see the reverse flash staring at them mostly at Barry before running off to which Barry ran out saying he'll be back and after leaving the door a flash of yellow although dull was seen by Ethan who was still shocked by the encounter.
"You alright man?" Cisco asked as he checked on Ethan who just nodded his head.
From what he had encountered that night he knew he was completely unprepared for what this world had for him, if reverse flash wanted to kill him, and would have ended him a million times before he could activate the omnitrix. He had to up his game and get ready for anything and anyone.

As Barry bolted out of Jitters in pursuit of the Reverse Flash, Ethan's mind raced with questions and concerns. He couldn't shake the feeling of dread that lingered in the pit of his stomach, knowing that he had just come face to face with one of the Flash's most dangerous adversaries.

"Cisco, what was that?" Ethan asked, his voice trembling slightly as he struggled to process the events that had just unfolded.

Cisco hesitated, weighing his words carefully. "It's... I'm not sure Ethan. But right now, the best thing you can do is go home and stay safe."

Ethan frowned, confusion evident in his expression. "But what about Barry?"

Cisco shook his head, his expression grave. "Barry can handle himself, Ethan. But you... you need to get out of here."

Ethan felt a surge of frustration rise within him, but he knew that Cisco was right. He had only just begun to understand the dangers that lurked in Central City, and he couldn't afford to put himself at risk.

Reluctantly, Ethan nodded, his heart heavy with worry for his friend. "Okay, Cisco. I'll go home. But please, keep me updated on what's happening."

Cisco nodded, his expression sympathetic. "Of course, Ethan. Just stay safe, alright?"

With a heavy heart, Ethan turned and began to make his way home, his thoughts consumed by the fact that he was defenceless against the reverse flash.
As Barry dashed through the streets of Central City in pursuit of the Reverse Flash, he couldn't shake the feeling of urgency that gripped his heart. The streets blurred past him in a whirl of motion, his mind focused solely on catching up to his elusive adversary.

Finally, he spotted a familiar blur of yellow ahead, and with a burst of speed, he closed the distance between them. "Thawne!" Barry called out, his voice echoing through the night.

The Reverse Flash came to a halt, turning to face Barry with a malevolent smirk. "Ah, Barry Allen. How nice of you to join the party."

Barry's jaw clenched with determination as he confronted his nemesis. "What do you want, Thawne? Why are you here?"

The Reverse Flash's smirk widened into a chilling grin. "Oh, Barry. You know why I'm here. I'm here to remind you of who you really are. To show you that no matter how hard you try to escape your destiny, you'll always be destined to become me."

Barry's fists tightened at his sides as he resisted the urge to lash out at his adversary. "I'm nothing like you, Thawne. I fight for justice, for what's right. You fight for nothing but your own twisted agenda."

The Reverse Flash chuckled darkly, the sound sending shivers down Barry's spine. "Oh, Barry. You're so naive. You think you can change the future, alter the course of destiny. But you can't. No matter how hard you try, you'll always be the man who becomes the Flash. And I'll always be the man who haunts your every step."

Barry's resolve hardened as he locked eyes with his enemy. "I won't let you win, Thawne. Not now, not ever."

With a final, chilling laugh, the Reverse Flash vanished into the night, leaving Barry alone with his thoughts and the weight of his destiny pressing down upon him. As he stood there, bathed in the glow of the city lights, he knew that the battle between them was far from over. And as long as the Reverse Flash remained a threat, Barry would continue to fight, no matter the cost.
