Running Towards the Reverse.

Deception At It's Finest

"So let's go over the plan one more time so that way none of you, meaning you Barry, messes this up."

I stood in the Cortex with the rest of Team Flash, going over the plan to "rescue" Kymina from the new Legion of Doom headed by Lex Luthor.

"We still have no idea what other villains might have joined Luthor. We need to be more than prepared if we want to get 'Bender back."

I look over at the remaining Wells. I barely registered my jaw clenching in anger.
You think you're so special just because you made a connection with her, you barely know her. Not like I do.

"Thawne? You hear me?"

"Yes, you're right, and I think I have an idea which ones."

I take the data and sightings we've gathered and displayed various pictures of various villains. Two of the pictures didn't have a profiles just a blank, black figure with a question mark on them.

"Mumur, Silver Banshee, Livewire, Deathstroke, Weather Wizard, Trickster, Hyena, Al-Mughawi, Shadow, Thread, and Lex Luthor."

"Why are the last two without pictures?"

"Nobody could ever get decent photos of them. That and they've never been caught. Thread is actually some type of demon that manifests itself as a goblin like human woman."

"Creepy. How did Kymina take it, her, down?"

"Unfortunately she never told me. She only gave vague details about how. Mostly to not fear Thread but to pity her and to tell her 'May God and his angels have mercy on you'. Or at least that's what she told me. In all likelihood she did this to prevent me from being able to control Thread."

"Probably in case you decide to create your own Legion of Doom, right?"

I look over at Cisco with a slight fondness.

"Perhaps, yes."

"Whatever the reason, that is a lot of people looking to knock all of us down a peg. So how do you suppose we get in?"

"Oh, you don't. I do."

I looked around at them, they were all staring at me in disbelief.

"What?"

"You're joking, right?"

"I  can assure you I'm not."

"They'll attempt to attack or kill you the moment you try to free her."

"That is if they can catch him."

"Nash, you're siding with him?!"

"I'm not siding with anybody, I'm just looking at this objectively speaking, he's faster than them and so technically he could free her in time."

At least someone is thinking with their smarts.

"I knew were more than just a pretty face, Wells. That is exactly what I'm saying, I am faster than you, Flash. I don't see any problem with me going alone and bringing her back."

"Only we do. We don't trust you, Thawne. You may not remember all shit you but us through, but we haven't forgotten or forgiven you for it."

"Look, you don't have to trust me, you just have to trust my love for Kymina out weighs my hatred for you, and right now it does. I want her back safe and sound just as much as the rest of you."

"You really love her that much?"

"Yes."

"Alright, fine, but you have till tonight to return here with her. Otherwise you'll have more than her wrath to deal with."

I raised an eyebrow at the threat. Looks like I'm not the only one whose in love, huh, Nash.

"Hold on we don't even know where they took her!"

"I think I have an idea where."

We all looked at Nash.

"Where?"

"A DEO black site, right under A Lexcorp storage facility."

"See you soon, Team Flash." 

I activated my speedster ring, phased into my suit, and ran like my life depended on it. I'm coming, Kymina, just hold on, I'm coming.

Inside the new Legion of Doom HQ

I howled in agony, the electricity making my body shake violently. I was strung up by my wrists with a shock collar wrapped around my neck. My feet were also lightly chained to the floor with power dampeners strapped to them. The  electrocution stopped as suddenly as it has started, my body had started to shake on its own, making my tormentor realize I needed another dose of my serum. He walked out of the shadows and slammed the injector into my back causing me to shriek in pain.

"This can stop, TimeBender, all you have to do is tell us how to get into S.T.A.R labs."

I turn my head to look over my shoulder at the strange purple eyes looking back at me.

"Go to hell."

Hissed back through gritted teeth.

"It is a pity I have to do this to such a lovely woman such as yourself. You could have the world, and yet you choose to play the hero. How disappointing."

Suddenly the lights  flickered, then went out, along with the sound of the power going down, and from the commotion down the hall it seems they're blaming it on Livewire, whom, by the shrieks of rage, isn't quite happy about being blamed.

I could feel my interrogator, who calls himself Shadow, standing behind me. His cold breath ghosting the back of neck giving me goosebumps.

"Are you just gonna stand there, or are gonna let them be stupid?"

That when I felt it, the electricity of another speedster, like a jolt to my dampened speed. I started to laugh.
Then I felt a jolt to my brain waves as I felt Murmur in my head,  I quickly put um a mental blockage.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because you're all about to be sent to Iron Heights or worse."

"What do you mean 'or worse'?"

In a blur of yellow and red lighting Murmur is on the floor unconscious and standing over him is none other than the Reverse Flash himself.

"I think she means me."

I watch him look me up and down, eyes narrowing, in a blur of red and yellow he's in front of me looking at the shock collar. He carefully undoes the collar, tosses it aside, and steps back.

"I'm going to give 5 minutes in which you will come over here in front of TimeBender and apologize."

"And if I don't?"

"I can kill you before you even know it was happening. I'd hurry if I were you, speedster aren't known for their patience."

"Eo, I don't need an apology, I just want to go back to S.T.A.R labs."

"Oh, your laboring under the delusion I'm going to take you back there, but that's the thing about me, sweetheart, I'm deception at it's finest."
