"You'd think she'd be up by now."

"Hey keep your voice down. She's been through a lot let her rest, Allen."

"You shut up, she's only in there, becaus-"

"Would you two cut it out your bickering is what's gonna wake her up."

"Mmmmm, too late."

I roll over and open my eyes to see Eobard, Barry, and Cecile all look at me.
I wave Eobard over to help me up.

"Could you pick me up and set me and my wheelchair? And for the record, Barry," I look up to give him a very stern look, "none of you has any control over my actions, if it weren't for me, red eyes here would still be a bunch of negative tachyon particles. Just remember that when you decide to say shit like that, yeah?"

I continue to hold my stern, and somewhat, angry gaze until Barry looks away and nods.

"Yeah, okay."

"Good."

Eobard picks me up, carries me to the wheelchair, and gently sets me down.
He quickly leans down kisses me on my right temple and backs off as Barry starts the somewhat lengthy process of opening the doors.

"Why exactly do we need all these protocols and locks on this door?"

"So only the rest of the team, you, and I can only open the door to the cell, that way if anyone tries to break Thawne out, one mistake would put the entire lab and doors into intruder mode. Then that way no one can escape not even the one attempting the jail break."

"But why do they have to be so complex?"

"It's so that way anyone who hasn't been briefed about them personally can't even get through them in the first place. It's even unhackable, so that way no one can access it remotely. You never can be too prepared, not when your dealing with someone who  is smarter then almost anyone in 25 & 21 centuries at least."

"Seems someone's done their homework."

I look over at Eobard who has a glint of pride in his eyes as he looks at me.
Barry finally gets the door open, I navigate the wheelchair through the door and it automatically closes behind me. Barry opens the door behind him and we finally exit the cell.

"Besides anyone who hasn't had a hand of their chosing molecularly scanned to be placed in the cell's molecular hand scanner database won't even be allowed in, let alone to leave. The doors would go into intruder lockdown mode and the only way out is if one of us lets them out."

Barry looks at me in surprise.

"Wait so why isn't this a cell at Iron Heights?"

"Seriously? Have you ever heard the saying, 'keep your friends close, and your enemies closer'? It's easier to keep an eye on him here, besides do you honestly trust a prison that, at point, had meta human trafficking? Because I certainly don't."

With that I grab my bracers, from the command table and roll out the door, heading towards the workshop, or Cisco's lab, because I honestly didn't want to be distracted at the moment.
As I rolled in I see Cisco working on something.

"Sup, Vibe?"

He looks up with an odd look on his face.

"Right, sorry, I, uh, I forgot about the whole no powers thing. Sorry, Cisco."

"It's fine, Kymina. What exactly are you doing down here anyway?"

"Wanted to see if I can enhance my Vibe tech bracers."

"Vibe tech bracers?"

"Right, I forgot, different timeline, different you.  My version of you, gave me these bracers when I accidentally time traveled for the first time. This is years before my time, but this was after you hung up your suit. You were a lot older looking than you are now, but not by much. These allow me to breach around the city and even open time portals. It's another way for me to stop my unique condition spreading through out my body and killing me. The serums can only do so much."

Cisco held out his hands.

"May I take a look at them."

"Sure"

I hand them to him and watch as he looks at them.

"They even have a built in portable Gideon."

He looks up at me a little surprised and goes back to look at them.

"You could try turning the vibe lines up a bit to give you a quicker open and close time. As for the time portal portion, I'd try enhancing the super connector for better and quicker opening and closing times."

"Thanks."

I quickly start to tinker with them. Suddenly I felt a jolt go through my system as I suddenly could feel me legs.

"Holy hell."

"What?"

"I-I think I just moved my legs."

"WHAT?! We need to get you up to the med lab, right away then."

"But, but what about my bracers?"

"They're off right?"

"Yeah?"

"So they'll be fine."
