Disclaimer: I don't own the Silver Hawks. I have done two versions of this story. One version is a crossover with Eobard Thawne from the Flash comic books actually helping find Flashback and helping find those responsible. This is Not that version. This story contains Quicksilver, Steel Heart, Steel Will Stargazer, Hotwing and Original Characters. This story contains no touch torture methods, mature content, insanity and I am going to tone a lot down keeping it at an M rating. Chonologically this story comes after Escape which is still being worked on and before Hearts. In future chapters there will be adult situations, sexual content, extreme acts of violence and torture.

"Andy to my office immediately" Star Gazer summoned

In his familiar green armour he appeared out of thin air in front of Star Gazer and saluted him "Reporting for duty sir. I am in the middle of investigating some odd temporal disturbances"

"People are disappearing throughout Limbo and I need you to get to the bottom of it"

It sounded like an easy mission he could handle on his own for a change. Not that he minded having S'Raki, the love of his life, around. She didn't seem to have the same feelings for him at times while at other times it seemed like she might he often observed. She confused him and things were often complicated between them. She saved him more times than he cared to remember. She taught him a lot. He wished she would show up on a social call from time to time.

The 32nd Century could be an interesting time to say the least. Flashback had noticed some strange shit happening with time around Limbo and surrounding galaxies. He was wondering the cause and how to fix it. He had been hearing strange noises while in the time vortex as of late. What was it S'Raki was saying about time? Sometimes future events affect past events. He was seeing flashes of future events and things in the past. It lasted for a moment when it would occur. Taking Backlash he wondered if what he was checking out and The Commander's mission for him were the same.

He disappeared from where he was and stood his once green armour was in all white in an all-white room. With the floor, ceiling, walls, no furniture, the lighting all white he wondered where he was and how he got there. A white paper plate with white food sat on the floor. A white foam cup with a white liquid sat beside the plate. The plastic eating utensils were white too. He was isolated in the ice cold white room that had no windows or a door he could find. The only sound he could hear was his own breathing and heart rate. That would be the first day of The White Torture he would be forced to endure. Though he tried to speak he was incapable for some reason to talk. He tried to use his weapons but they didn't work. He tried to break through the walls but they were stronger than he was. He couldn't teleport or open a gate outside of time or even a simple time vortex.

Several days had passed and when he tried to sleep he was forced to stay away by his unknown unseen captors. Disorientation and confusion are the first things that fuck with the mind, he was no different it simply took a little longer to affect him.

Elsewhere in time and space:

Johnny was getting a bad feeling about his son Andrew.

"Sam I need to go to Limbo and find out if Andrew is ok"

"Do you need me to come along too?"

"I think I should be ok"

Just as he was leaving S'Raki appeared out of thin air . "Andrew has been removed from time." She said very concerned, trying not to cry or panic. "I don't know where or even when he is now. Somebody has your son. We need to find him and save him."

"Are you sure?" Johnny asked feeling a deeper dread.

"I don't joke about this sort of thing" She answered

"Did you ask his Fighting Hawk, Backlash where his master was?"

"Backlash summoned me. They were investigating something wrong with time and Andrew vanished. That was several days ago." she said trying her best to remain calm.

"Who could do this?"

"The Temporal Counsel or any number of beings and individuals" I was investigating something for Chronos when Backlash summoned me. He didn't know what happened to Andrew. He was trying to find him but couldn't."

Whatever concern Johnny had was now much worse. Backlash not being able to track somebody down never happened before. "Andrew was trained by me at a young age. It was something he requested at only 3 years old. I taught him a lot and never once did change his mind about me training him. I subjected him to a lot during his training."

"That training just might save his life if I can't get to him soon"

While S'Raki was trying to learn what happened to Andrew Quick, aka Flashback somewhere in the Shadows of Time, The Temporal Counsel was in session holding a strange ritual. Were they responsible for Andrew's disappearance? It wouldn't be the first time they did something utterly shady and it wouldn't be the last.

"…but we have to undo it" one of them said.

"We have to fix it"

"It's our fault it is happening"

Or was there a new player pulling the strings. People were randomly disappearing throughout time and space including their own. Who was responsible or was it just random events in time?

This was indeed a mystery that needed to be solved and it bring many warring factions together unknown to them at the time.

A week had passed for Flashback. Though tired he wasn't able to sleep because of forced sleep deprivation seeing and hearing things that weren't there. He was past the stage where you laugh at everything. Paranoia plagues the mind and deceives you. What if the life he had was a lie. What if he was just a delusion? He couldn't remember what he done to escape yet or if he had always been in there? Was he always in this place with all that fucking white? Did he do something wrong?

Then the only thing he remembered of his former life was a woman but couldn't remember S'Raki's name? He felt love for her and was deeply in love with her. He wondered if she was captured too. He had to save her if she was. Being unfocused and uncoordinated didn't help him at all at this stage.

Meanwhile Backlash was sharing what he knew once again with S'Raki, Johnny and The Silver Hawks. Maybe they missed something. First one of the members of The Temporal Society showed up. They had members disappearing, removed out of time.

"S'Raki we need your help." The member spoke dressed inform fitting tan clothing. Their appearance androgynous made it an interesting interaction for the humans.

"What happened?" she asked

"Some of our people have been removed from time"

"I'm investigating the disappearance of a friend of mine." She commented. "The same thing happened to him. I'm worried about him. Even The Counsel have had their people removed from time, I heard"

"How do we know it's not them and they sent their own people away to avoid suspicion?"

"I would normally agree but this time it seems different. I remember an incident happened similar to this long ago. It was right before Mr. Cloud left The Counsel to pursue other activities. The members, who returned, were never the same. I believe that is what corrupted them initially" She said.

"Did you and your brother even find who was responsible?"

"No. We didn't learn who the captors were. I wish he was still with us but he was erased from time after his murder."

"S'Raki, who is your friend?"

"I'm sorry. How rude of me. Hajikoz-Na these are my friend's family. His dad, his mom and his uncle we have been working together on this mystery"

"How much time has passed for you?"

"A week" Johnny says

"I hope we find them soon" Hajikoz-Na said concerned.

Members of The Temporal Counsel show up during the following week that had passed;

Making it 2 weeks, since Andrew disappeared without a trace and temporary truce was agreed upon. Other time agencies sent people out to ask S'Raki for help and wanted to know what happened to their own. Were they all suffering as Andrew was suffering?

Many months had passed and it was affecting S'Raki who was changing until she became "Anti-Time" with her transformation Backlash changed as well becoming Counter Clock Works. His once green Fighting Hawk form changed from the familiar green into a steampunk version in brown, copper and beige. With countless gears moving counter clockwise showing he had decided that he was going to temporarily be her assistant. Her "Anti-Time" form was not her normal appearance others were familiar with. Her waist long loosely curled omber golden and pink hair turned blood red straight and a short harsh bob. Her golden skin became as pale as a vampire. Her clothing, normally a pretty pink or red dress with a short skirt turned into a twisted deranged steampunk design. This design was vertical striped brown pants, brown laced up boots that went to her mid-calf and flat heels. The black underbust corset was black with a light brown blouse that fell from her shoulders. The top hat was brown with copper gears on it moving counter clockwise. She had goggles with brass that surrounded the dark glass. She had a walking stick with an octopus on top of a black skull. Her golden eyes became a glowing red. The other temporals had seen this form only once before and they all prayed they would never see it again. It was when her brother was murdered and erased from time and throughout the Temporal War.

Whoever had Andrew better pray to Hell that she would show mercy to them or do the smart thing and release him and apologize.

Flashback had been gone for a few months. From the room where everything was all white he was teleported by his unknown captor to a deprivation room. Where it was dark, nothing touching his skin, no sound, no scent and he floated. Still unable to teleport himself out or open a time vortex and his weapons didn't work in this room. He was still removed from time and still nobody was sure where he was. He stayed in the deprivation room for months before teleported back into the white room. He was teleported back and forth by his captor between both areas for over a year. Still no clue to who it was. He saw no sign of who it could be and everything was silent.

It would be a non-stop search for them checking all throughout time and space and interrogating many people along the way.

It had been 18 months that had passed when she and Counter Clock Works finally found Andrew. He was deranged, paranoid, delusional, psychotic and depressed. He was glad to finally see something that was real and not white. Not sure if he could believe what he was seeing he took her hand knowing somewhere this was the woman he loved and was in love with but now was obsessed with.

"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner to save you but we were trying to find you and everywhere and every time we couldn't find you until now" She said helped him to his feet holding on to him as she hugged him then did something she wouldn't normally do and that was kiss him. It seemed like time could freeze and if he wondered if she loved him too his question was now answered with a simple kiss.

"Now there will be Hell for Ransom and Hell to Pay"

He was disoriented and completely unfocused and uncoordinated. "Hold on to me, Andrew. I am here now and everything will be fine"

"Vengeance will be ours for what has been done" He said as his armour turned blood red, steampunk and developed brass spikes on it. "I hate the colour white my dear" His once pretty purple eyes turned yellow and burned with intense hatred and desire to hunt anybody responsible. My codename is Time Storm now. For now Flashback is gone. Hmm, it was fun being him but I can't be him now" He said insanely trying to wipe his own past away but was failing at doing so.

"You can't wipe your past or you erase yourself"

"I would rather erase myself than live like this"

"We'll find them and make them pay"
