2014
3 months before Barry Allen wakes from his coma as the Flash.
Nighttime, just after Joe, Iris, Cisco, and Caitlin leave for the night.

I come out of the time portal out side of S.T.A.R labs. I feel myself starting to shake violently again as I fight back the heartbreak and tears. I inject myself with the second to last serum.
I quickly press buttons on my bracers, the nanotech responding giving me new-ish clothes. I quickly walk into  the elevator and head down to the 600th floor, pretending to look scared and in need of help.
As the elevator doors open I'm greeted by a slender, yet incredibly fit, glasses wearing man in a wheelchair. His brilliant blue eyes filled with intelligence and wonder looking up at me. I could also sense the smallest flicker of negative speed force coming from him. So you really did become this earth's Harrison Wells, huh, Eobard Thawne.

"Excuse me, but this lab is currently closed for the night, Ms.?"

I snicker as I get off the elevator and cross my arms across my chest shaking my head in amused disbelief.

"Oh, please, enough of the shenanigans, you know exactly who I am."

I see a highly amused look come across his face as he adjusts his glass.

"I don't know what you're talking about miss, and I believe it's time for you to leave."

His voice becoming stern. I let out a small mocking scoff.

"I mean, I would believe you but.."

I use my super speed to zip towards him, he didn't even flinching a bit.

"You don't even bat an eye, when I use
my speed. So try again... Thawne." I say menacingly mock.

Harrison Wells or should I say Eobard Thawne let's out a breath, like he'd hadn't heard that name for a very long time. He looks at me as I smirk looking down at him. He was about to get up when I say,

"Don't get up, wouldn't want anyone seeing you for the fraud that you, now would we? That, and I like being taller than you for once."

I hear him settle back into his chair, chuckling. He looks at me again and says,

"Yes... if I remember correctly aren't you 5 foot 6? However, I do miss towering over people."

He gets up and he does tower over me. I take a quick step back, he pauses and takes a small step towards me as I backup again. His eyes lighting up with amusement as if this was some kind of game to him.

"What's the matter Mina? You're not afraid of me are you?"

he was mocking me. I scoffed and took a step forward closing the distance, my eyes filling with rage as I looked at him.
 
"Nice try, but might I remind you, you still owe me debt, and I've come to... cash it in so to speak." I say as I step back and pull the last vile of serum out of my hip bag.

"I need more, but I need a better one, for some reason it's not working, I keep coming out of time portals and end up having to use the serum more."

He takes the serum from me, eyeing me suspiciously while looking at it. I back up to a respectable distance.

"What? Scared I might leak your precious little secret? Because I could if you don't help me."

I threatened him, hoping he'd fall for the bluff.
He stops eyeing the vile in he's right hand and starts stepping closer.

"I'll make your serum, but on one condition. Don't.. you EVER threaten me ever again, Kymina."

His voice, Dr. Wells's voice, was a deadly whisper, I could feel his blue eyes on me, piercing me,and knowing full well that I shouldn't press my luck any further, I did anyways.

"Loud and clear, red eyes." I say mockingly, looking back at him.

I move to brush past him, but he quickly grabs my arm in a vice grip.

"What?"

"I mean it, Kymina, don't test me or else."

I felt his warm breath against my ear. I felt my heart rate going up knowing how close and how easily he could kill me right then and there.

"Fine, just, please hurry I don't know how long this current dose will last." I say pulling my arm from his grasp.

He walks past me, and sits one of the  wheely chairs, takes a sample of the serum,and taking various viles of strange unknown liquids and mixes them.
I frown watching him from his left, unaware he also had a strong sedative near by. He grabs a needle and syringe, then stands up. As I move out of his way I don't see him pick up the sedative.

"I need you to sit down with your back facing towards me."

I give him a very suspicious look.

"Why?"

"Because I need a small sample from... your condition to make sure I don't accidentally kill you with this new serum or make things even worse than they already are."

I sigh, sitting down, facing the back of the chair, and leaned on it.

"Oh and about that sample?" He places his hand on my lower back preventing me from moving.

"Yeah? Ow!"

He stabs me in the neck with the sedative.

"I lied."

The last thing I hear before losing consciousness, is his voice saying,

"Oops."
