Date Unknown
Time Masters base in the distant past.I come out of the portal just as I see sparks of red lightning dart into the entrance. I freeze, hoping I got lucky and Thawne hadn't seen me. I start walk towards the building, not daring to use my speed incase he could sense my speed force. Just as I started jogging toward the entrance and past the first set of doors I got an arrow through my right calf.
"AAAUGH! Shit, I should have known I was being watched via the security system!" I snarl after I hit the ground in agony, pushing myself up slightly to look in the direction it came from.
"Malcolm Merlyn, I presume? You truly are an elite archer and assassin, to be able to shoot an arrow that quickly into my leg."
"Funny it sounds like you've heard of me, but I don't think I've ever seen you before." Merlyn shoots back pointing another arrow at me.
Suddenly I feel a pressure on my lower back. Someone was stepping on me, and not in a good way.
"Are you one of the Legends, Ms.?" said the voice of Damien Darhk from my left.
"Onyx. Her name is Dr. Kymina Onyx, a very accomplished scientist and a ex-coworker of mine"
My eyes widened, Thawne's voice was coming from the shadows in front of me. I try pushing myself up higher only to get slammed back down by Darhk's foot. I hear him and the others soft chuckling. I lay flat, and flip my left hand around with the palm facing up.
"Darhk, I'm gonna give you ten seconds to let me up and explain myself, or you're going to be in a world of hurt." I say, my voice coming out in a hushed painful tone.
"I'd like to see you try." I hear him reply just as I release a wave of time freezing energy at him. I then use my full body strength to push him off me and quickly release him from being time freezed. I hear him hit the floor with loud grunt of pain. I balance myself onto my left leg, smirking.
"I mean I did warn you..." I'm cut off as Thawne, using his speed, slams me into the wall with his left hand around my neck. I grunt in pain, letting out a small choked laugh.
"What are you doing here, Kymina " his low, intimidating voice sugar coating my name, I start feeling the adrenaline and serotonin zip through me.
"Well, would you look at that, the red eyed man finally caught his time bending clock, and to answer your question, would you believe I'm actually here to make amends with you?" I say in a slightly choked voice. I look into his blue eyes, hoping he would see the sincerity in mine.
He sighs, breaking eye contact only to see my hip bag.
"What's this?" He reaches for the bag with his right only for me to slap it away.
"Not yours, but if you let me go I can show you what it's for."
He let's me go only to wrap his left arm around me. I roll my eyes as I open the bag pulling out a vile of gold liquid and the injector. I put the vile in the injector and roll up the sleeve of my suit, revealing that my blue blood vessels were turning red. I then slam the injector into my arm injecting the serum. Suddenly the red blood vessels started turning blue again.
"See?" I say, looking up at him. His gaze still on my arm.
"To be honest I didn't think you'd still be alive, after.. after what happened." he replied back, swallowing.
He looks at me and let's me go. He walks off to the command panel for the computer. I quickly snap the arrow and pull it out grunting in pain, then follow, keeping a respectable distance from him. I look at him, studying his face.
"Have you been sleeping Eo? Have you been eating?""I don't have time for such things right now, Mina."
"That's bullshit, and you know it! Wait, have any of you been eating or sleeping since you started this, whatever this is?" I stare at them in horror. All three men shake their heads.
"Eobard!" I say in a very angry and concerned tone.
"What! It's not like they need it!" Thawne snaps back, both Merlyn and Darhk share a look.
"Yes they do, they're human and humans that have never time traveled before I might add. They don't know they side effects of not sleeping or eating, but you do and you know better!" I shot back pointing at both Merlyn and Darhk. Thawne shakes his head, that look of madness and hate still in his eyes.
"Enough, Kymina."
"No, you need rest. You might not see it, but I'm pretty sure you're... partners do." I say holding my ground on the matter.
"And if I refuse? You honestly think you can take me on?" Sparks of red lightning flicker through his, very, amused eyes.
"Oh please, darlin, I've got you beat faster than you can change the timeline." I say taking a step closer, sparks of silver lightning flickering through my eyes.
I could tell both Merlyn and Darhk were trying not to laugh at the exchange. Suddenly Merlyn speaks up, "Well to be quite honest, Ms. Onyx is right. I don't know about you Eobard, but I'm a little tired." He walks off.
"You know what, so am I." Darhk says as he walks away.
