2 hours after Onyx had left
Inside the particular accelerator.I came out of the portal and darted into the cortex to see the team waiting for me.
"What happened why were you gone for so long?" Barry asked.
"Needed more of the serum that keeps my condition... stable. I didn't think Thawne would try to keep me there. Luckily for me, I found the one version who barely had any negative speed force to threaten me with."
"You mean the Wells version, don't you."
Nash said a strange look coming across his face.
"Yes... so how's the plan coming along?"
"We hit a snag, apparently reverse flash is good at hiding because there hasn't been any freak red lightning storms."
Joe looked irritated and worried.
"Right well, we'll just have to get his attention the old fashioned way."
"And that is?"
"Getting Godspeed to try and do me harm."
I look up at them see looks of shock and disbelief mixed with concern.
"No. No, we can't let you do that, Bender, may I call you Bender?"
I looked at Nash baffled. "Uh, um, sure, but why not? It's our next best option!"
"How do you know he'll wake back up and save you? How do you know he won't just kill us?!"
Nash looked very fearfull. What did you do to this poor man, Eobard? Perhaps you truly have become a ruthless monster.
"Because... BECAUSE HE WAS IN LOVE WITH ME!" I yelled back in panic. They looked at me in surprise, like I was crazy.
"You're joking. Thawne is a ruthless, remorseless, killing psychopath. He doesn't love anyone but himself."
"Is this why you want us to help you catch Thawne? Because you can't get over the fact that he might not actually love you?"
"No it, it's because I told our Allen, his allen, that he was going to kill you all those years ago. I'm the reason he got marooned in the first place. It, it was my fault, I, I didn't want either of you to disappear."
Tears run down my cheek as I remembered what I did.
"I'm, I'm gonna go work on my bracers."
"Kymina wai-"
I was already gonna down inside the bunker hiding in the same room he would live again. I quickly darted about fixing things and making sure things were running smoothly. I hear footsteps approach then the door close.
"I'm not in the mood for a pep talk right now, Nash."
"I was just checking in on you, I have some experience with feeling guilt and regret."
Suddenly, just as I was about to reply, the silent alarm goes off, and I see large red electrical currents being absorbed into the Eobard Thawne clone's body.
I head over to the console and check to see if there is any activity that would suggest he was alive. The only thing that showed was his heart beat and brain activity, nothing else.
Suddenly with a loud gasp, Thawne sat up, coughing as he looked around. When his eyes met mine I knew it was him, he was staring at me with a mixture of love, pain, mischief, and rage."Kymina! Nash! Are you guys alright?"
I heard Cisco's voice over the coms."Yeah, me and Nash are fine, guys, we did it! The Reverse Flash lives again!"
I heard a crude chorus of boos from the coms, and a small laugh from Nash.
"We're glad he's finally were he belongs."
"Locked up, without the ability to use his powers, highly annoyingly smart and snarky. Yeah I'd say that's a win."
I say laughing as he glares at me through the very large, glass and metal chamber he's in.
"Dinner is on me tonight guys, now could you unlock the lab so Nash and I can leave?"
"Your going already, Kymina? I honestly thought you'd want to spend time with me, after all we were.. quite close once."
I turn around and nearly stop breathing, his eyes, his clear blue eyes, had such a strong, almost magnetic alluring look to them. It took me a minute to clear my head before speaking,
"Nice try, but if you play nice and don't try to escape while we're gone, which by the way I will know if you do, I'll bring you your favorite dinner and drink from Big Belly Burger."
He looks at me with highly amused intense gaze, then sighs.
"Fiine, I'll play nice as long as it's you and none of those dim wits you call friends."
He sneers the last word giving me goosebumps.
"Thank you, Eobard."
And with that the doors unlock, Nash and I leave to join the team for dinner.
