In a extra-dimensional, there stood a man.... a man in yellow known as Reverse Flash or Eobard Thawne was standing in what was called the Speed Force. The Speed Force was the extra-dimensional that powers all speedster superhuman abilities. It was also the prison of Thawne against his crimes he did against the Speed Force but to truly understand his action we must understand Eobard's origins. The reason behind it all, the reason that he took the path that he did. The reason why he choose the life....... Of being the Reverse Flash.

Professor Eobard Thawne was a meta-human speedster from the 22nd century, a descendant of Eddie Thawne and the archenemy of Barry Allen/The Flash as well as an enemy of the Legends. Obsessed with the 21st century's Flash, Eobard recreated the accident that gave the Flash his powers and became a speedster himself. But after his very first travel back in time, Eobard learned that he was destined to become the Flash's archenemy and grew to despise the hero, attempting to prove his superiority as the Reverse-Flash and therefore became the opposite of his former idol. Since then, the two speedsters battled one another for many years, but neither of them were strong or fast enough to defeat each other.

After learning the Flash's secret identity, Eobard traveled back in time to kill Barry as a child in an attempt to erase his foe but he was thwarted by the Flash of a later time who brought the younger Barry to safety. An enraged Eobard then killed Nora Allen and framed Henry Allen for the crime instead. However, Eobard lost his connection to the Speed Force, becoming trapped in the 21st century. Realizing Barry was the only way to return to his time, Eobard forged a life for himself as Dr. Harrison Wells, the director of S.T.A.R. Labs, and pushed through for the creation of a particle accelerator to ensure that Barry would become the Flash. This also caused the existence of countless other meta-humans.

Posing as Wells, Eobard mentored the Flash and became the leader of a team he assembled to stop the meta-human threats, to increase his protégé's speed so that Eobard could use the hero's connection to the Speed Force to return to his own time. After his plan was exposed and subsequently foiled, he was erased from existence after Eddie killed himself to stop him. One year after his non-existence, Eobard was prevented from murdering Nora, creating Flashpoint and held him captive for months. After realizing this mistake, Barry released Eobard, allowing him to kill Nora. As a result of being pulled out of the timeline, Eobard was spared from his fate and continues to exist as a time remnant, while his original actions remain intact. Due to his own nullified state of existence being an aberration, he is hunted by a Speed Force enforcer, forcing him to seek out the Spear of Destiny in order to restore his natural existence.

Unable to find the object and outrun the enforcer at the same time, Eobard formed a supervillain alliance with Damien Darhk and Malcolm Merlyn, and later recruits a past version of Leonard Snart/Captain Cold and the reluctant Mick Rory/Heat Wave as well. Eobard and his co-conspirators eventually retrieve the Spear of Destiny, which they use to rewrite reality to their whims. Despite initially succeeding, his plan was foiled by Sara Lance/White Canary who traveled back in time and de-powered the object, and Eobard was killed by the Speed Force's enforcer as his non-existence resumed, restoring the timeline.

Eobard knew that the actions he made were wrong but he did them to keep the timeline in checked. He did feel guilty for killing Nora Allen and messing up Barry's childhood but he had to recreate the flash to restore the timeline. After being taken out of the timeline, trying to out run death, and being killed by the black flash, he could say that he was glad that he could slow down for a change. But that didn't last long as a old familiar face appeared beside him, Nora Allen or one of the forms the Speed Force takes. "Hello Thawne, it's been awhile.." Nora's voice was like that of a sweet, kind, and innocent woman... one that Eobard was guilty of killing. "Mrs. Allen...... its has been awhile" Thawn was confuse as to why Nora was here even talking to him.

"Please Thawne call me Nora" She held a small smile that only a mother would be able to make. Thawne look at the woman he killed years because he had to make Barry the flash and was wondering why she wasn't anger at him. Nora saw his confusion and said "We understood what you had to Thawne to keep the timeline stable but we are angry about the path you took to keep it stable". "Why are you here" Thawne was wondering what she was doing here and talking to him of all people, was she here to punish him? She smiled while speaking in a gently voice.. "The Speed Force had decided to give you another chance at live but this time to be the hero". Thawne was shocked to the core, he was just given the chance to a new live, a new start that he could actually help people.

Thawne smiled and thanked Nora as well the Speed Force for the chance to start over and start helping people like he wanted to. "Before you go, we have a few things to give you, first is a flash ring wth your new suit, second is a more pure connection to the Speed Force, and lastly we going to make you younger so that you'll be able to make some friends and go to school" Thawne was greatly surprised and had watery eyes. "Thank you, you don't know how much this mean to me... I promise to protect the innocent and punish the evil" with a nod form Nora, Thawne felt himself being push and lost consciousness. When Thawne woke up he found himself in a forest in a white t-shirt with a yellow jacket, blue jeans, and yellow shoes while a ring was on his right middle finger. There was a pond near him so Thawne walked over to it and saw his reflection, he was indeed young maybe around 17 years old.

"Ok first things first, got make a Identity for myself then figure out how to get some money....." With that Thawne has ran off towards the nearest town, in a matter of seconds he had created a identity for himself. Thawne made himself out of be high school student around 17 years old along with his date of birth, his parents' death in a car accident, living in a orphanage and getting straight A's through his school years. With his new identity, Thawne knew he needed a place to stay and get a job... so much to do and Thawne hasn't even scratch the surface yet.
