The Flash: IM Reverse Flash

At STAR Labs, Harrison Wells never breaks character, and the wheelchair he doesn't need is the least of what he's hiding. Dexter Cross does slip, constantly, and only eleven years of dead theater training keeps a dead intern's hand from reaching for coffee the wrong way in front of Caitlin Snow. The Reverse Protocol running behind his borrowed eyes was built to recalibrate him back into Eobard Thawne, flashing a correction warning a third of a second before his posture betrays Omaha instead of Central City. It scores him on Deception, and gives its highest marks not for the performance but for the nights he mourns alone over cold pasta and means every bit of it. Caitlin keeps a second notebook now, separate from the lab one, started the day he handed her a forgotten paperback with both hands like a man who actually noticed things. Buried in a 2003 traffic file Gideon won't erase: proof Thawne already committed a murder pinned on someone else.
