"This is your fault, Flash."

"How is this his fault, captain hologram?"

"She would never have tried to get her hands on Godspeed, if you had just told her no to the whole joining the Legends thing. You knew she was just trying to be petty, why didn't you stop her?"

"Because she's allowed to have a life Thawne. One, mind you, she never really got to live no thanks to you."

"You take that, back."

"Mmmm, stop harassing him, boys, he's a little frustrated right now, in more ways than one."

I hear the boys chuckle at Thawne as he sputters for a second at my comment as I go to sit up is when I suddenly realize..

"I, I can't feel my legs, Barry, Eo, I can't feel my legs."

I start to panic, when I feel a stabbing pain in my chest.

"Easy, eeeasy, Kymina. Godspeed broke more than just your back."
Thawne hovering close by, his hand going through the bars of the medical bed.

"Yeah, I know. But I thought by now I would have healed."

"Unfortunately, it seems it's going to take weeks till you fully heal. According to the legendary losers, their Gideon couldn't heal you due to your unique condition."

Thawne seemed slightly irritated. It was as if he wanted to reach through the hologram and gently reassure me about everything.

"So why exactly is Thawne a hologram?"

"Because he refused to eat, sleep, or be tested while you were unconscious and kept demanding to see you."

I look at him, seeing the genuine concern and anxiety in his eyes.

"Sooo do we still have... the mobile wheelchair around?"

"Yeah, yeah we do, do you need help getting into it?"

"Yes, please."

Much to the dismay of Eobard, Barry gently picks me up, carries me to the wheelchair, and gently sets me down. I quickly maneuver it around, and start heading to the door.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"Down to actually get you to cooperate and run some tests, make sure you still don't have your speed."

I say as I roll out the door down to his cell.
He was standing there in a pair of nice looking jeans and another dry fit shirt that gently hugged his muscular physique.

"Is there any a moment when you're not annoyingly good looking?

"Is this you admitting you're still attracted to me, because that's what it sounds like."

I roll my eyes, chuckling as I look through the data on screen.

"In your dreams leather boy."

"Oh, but I'm sure I can make that a reality for both of us."

"Oh-hoho! A little too arrogant today are we?"

I look over at him shaking my head laughing.

"Trying to charm me, now?"

"I don't know, is it working?"

"Mmm, no, but nice try though."

I look up at him, seeing his blue eyes zero in on the bracers.

"Sooo, is the serum working?"

I nod, according to some notes left by Cisco one vile could last me at least a  full day.

"So, you really wanted to make sure I lived that badly, huh?"

When Thawne didn't reply I looked up, apparently the only thing the team was letting him have for entertainment was books, and he was now reading a book on theoretical science and timeline theory analysis.

"So you've decided to ignore me, cute."

I roll over to the panel to see if I could scare him with a hologram of Black Flash, while texting my plan to Cisco, who texted back thinking it was the funniest idea in the history of ideas.

"Hey, Barry? Do you think it's safe for me to go in his cell? Since, you know, one of us has to do his laundry since he can't leave?"

I hear Thawne sputter behind me.

"I don't see why not, just be careful!"

"Will do!"

I roll over to the panel of the outer door, scan my hand, and roll into the space between the first and second door. The second door is just a automatic door with a highly complex system of locks and protocols, designed by yours truly, to keep Thawne from opening it. I finish getting the first set of protocols with the built in tablet on the wheelchair, when I see Thawne shake his head.

"Why exactly are you doing this?"

"My reasons are beyond your understanding."

I say back as I quickly get through the last of the protocols and locks. My tablet automatically shuts off once inside preventing a easy escape for Thawne. If I want out the boys are going to have to manually come down here and let me out themselves.

"Whoah, okay that feels a little bit weird." I muttered as I feel my speed and powers dissipate thanks to the dampeners inside the cell.

The door slams shut and locks behind me. I look nervously over to it, knowing full well I'm now in the lion's den. I look back to see Thawne walk closer, like a predator toying with his prey.

"You know, I could get used to you being so... deliciously, helpless. Unable to run or to hide, just pure helplessness."

Thawne carefully stalked closer, stopping a mere three feet away. I tired not to panic, I knew what he was doing. He was trying to get under my skin, mess with my emotions, my head, trying to get me to let my guard down fully, like that was ever going to happen.

"Trying to frighten me isn't going to work anymore, Eobard."

"Really?"

He chuckled back. He seemed to be amused by this game of his. Him making attempts to lure me in and me fighting my inhibitions and pull towards him.

"Yeah, nope, I'm out, have fun dealing with boys."

I go to turn the wheelchair around, it only takes two to three quick steps until he's suddenly leaning on the back of the headrest. I lean my head back to look at him.

"Yes?"

"Don't go, please."

"Are you going to behave, and play nice?"

He paused, slowly leaning down to whisper in my ear.

"Only if you will."

He quickly kisses my ear for good measure, with me giving him a annoyed disgruntled look.
