Hey everyone I am back at it :) - Here is the the first chapter of my new story, and don't worry I haven't forgotten about my GoT story, I am working on new chapters.
###############################
Synopses...
Eobard and Lillian were never suppose to be together, he is a villain and she was suppose to be dead. So what does time have in store for them when one has so much knowledge of the future he can keep it in tack and the other is a paradox who alters the future of everything around her just but waking up every morning. With the time line continuously in flux Eobard works to keep the dream of love and a family alive while realizing that the Speed Force may not feel the same.
This will cross over into the Legion of Doom in Legends, that is how much of this story I have mapped out in a story board right now. I have so many ideas for this and I hope you all enjoy it.

Chapter One
For such a giant building there was sure no one around. As Lillian made her way through the halls of S.T.A.R. Laboratories her heels clicked and echoed against the cool grey walls. She had followed Caitlins instructions to get into the building. The key card she had given her and code worked without any issue. Which made her glad, she did not want her first visit to S.T.A.R. labs to involve the police thinking she was trying to break in. She still could not believe that Caitlin had ditched on being her to meet her, but she was an adult and she could totally handle walking herself into super sophisticated laboratory without someone holding her hand. Maybe it would have been better if there was actually people here, it was so quiet and cold. At least she had guilted Caitlin into bringing her coffee when she finally got here.
She came to the elevator and the doors opened before she even had a chance to push a button. "Creepy." Lillian spoke with a whisper as she entered the elevator and hit the desired floor. Thankfully Caitlin's instruction for how to get to the Cortex as she called it were very thorough, and it didn't seem like it was all the difficult to find if you had some semblance of an idea as to where to go.
She entered what was known as the Cortex and looked around. There was no one in sight save a lone figure laying unmoving in a bed in a glass windowed room just off from where she was.
Lillian took a step further into the room just as a voice sounded behind her. "Can I help you?" Lillian jumped and quickly spun around as she moved a hand to her heart in fear while her other hugged her purse towards her chest. The voice had been quiet but in the emptiness of the room echoed much louder then she was sure intended. She found a man in a wheelchair had snuck up behind her, a man that was none other than Doctor Harrison Wells.
"Harrison Doctor...I mean Wells Harris…" Lillian began as she tried to find the right combination of words in her panicked state.
"It's actually Doctor Harrison Wells, and who might you be exactly?" Doctor Wells questioned from his spot in his chair. He had come around the corner just in time to see the edge of a purse and the tips of cherry red waves he did not recognize.
"Yes sorry, I know who you are. I'm sister, Caitlin...I mean Caitlin's sister." Lillian spoke quickly as she tried to pull herself back together. "It's ah, an honor to meet you Doctor Wells." Lillian smiled widely and stuck her hand that had just been clenching her heart out towards him. Doctor Lillian Snow, pleasure to meet you." She spoke to the dark haired, eyeglassed man before her.
"Ah." Said Harrison as reached his hand out to shake hers. Just as their hands were just about to touch a spark of electricity shot quickly from Harrison to Lillian, zapping her in the process.
"Ouch!" Lillian yelped as she pulled her hand back slightly and gave it a shake.
The spark had been so fast that he was sure Lillian had not seen it, but he knew it was the speed force. Could she be another speedster, did she know who he really was? So many questions filled his mind but were quieted as she took his hand in hers in a shake.
"I'm a big fan of your work Doctor Wells, this is truly a pleasure and an honor." Lillian spoke as she released his hand.
"You will have to excuse me, I wasn't aware you were stopping in. Caitlin isn't actually here at the moment." Harrison spoke as he began to wheel his chair around Lillian to the center of the room.
Lillian turned around to follow Harrison's movements. "Yes, she said she would be a little late, that's why she gave me a key card to get down here. I guess she hadn't mentioned that she asked me to come in as a second opinion?"
"No actually, I also wasn't aware that Caitlin even had a sister." Harrison replied from his spot in the middle of the Cortex. His mind racing as he thought back to the information he had gathered from future events and there was never a mention of Caitlin Snow having a sister. He wanted to get to his time vault and ask Gideon exactly what was going on, but he did not dare leave this unknown woman alone with Barry Allen. If she knew anything of his plan or even if she had a plan of her own she could ruin everything for him.
"Lillian!" Came the voice of Caitlin as the young woman entered the room holding a cardboard coffee tray containing four drinks. She moved to stand next to her sister. The resemblance between them easily seen as they stood next to each other.
Harrison noted their facial features and body type to be quite similar, but it was their hair and eyes that made them look so drastically different. Where Caitlin was a brunette with brown eyes, Lillian's head was encased in waves of cherry red which caused her jade green eyes to stand out sharply against her light skin. If you did not see them standing next to each other Harrison was not sure you would know they were sisters. But together, you could clearly tell. Knowing he did not want to leave Barry alone with this new person he decided to pry for information instead of just asking Gideon.
"So, older, younger?" Asked Harrison as he leaned back in his chair slightly so that he could observe Lillian's reaction.
"We are twins actually." Replied Caitlin with a smile as she as she reached her free arm around her sister to squeeze her. "Although Lily always likes to remind me she came out first."
"You'll have to excuse me once again, Caitlin never mentioned you before, and you introduced yourself as Doctor. Exactly what do you specialize in?" Harrison questioned as he watched Caitlin separate herself from her sister.
Lillian began to blush. "Oh I'm a Surgeon, Doctor Wells. Nothing that exciting."
"Oh please." Caitlin said with a huff. "She has a Ph.D. in both Molecular Genetics and Molecular Engineering. As well as currently having the best mortality rate in the country."
"Very impressive." Harrison spoke slowly as he examined Lillian once again.
It was at this that Lillian began to feel herself blush harder as she watched Harrison's eyes scan her up and down. Sizing her up in her in her black dress leggings and white button down blouse. She hoped that it wasn't showing because she felt like at any moment she might melt into a puddle. "It's really nothing compared to you Doctor Wells."
At this Caitlin elbowed her sister in the side. "Stop being modest, You are brilliant." Caitlin said with a smile. "She is brilliant, that is why I asked her to come and look at Mr. Allen. I hope that is okay Doctor Wells?"
"Of course. If your sister can figure out exactly what is keeping Mr. Allen in his coma then I welcome the help." Said Harrison. "But if you would excuse me, I have some things to attend to. Please help yourself to whatever you need Doctor Snow."
Harrison then turned his chair and wheeled himself away. Heading through the facility and into an abandoned hall. He positioned himself in such as way to rest a hand against the cool concrete, and as if by magic part of the wall disappeared revealing a hidden room. Quickly Harrison made his way into the room, the lights turning on inside as he went. The wall knitted itself shut behind him.
Standing from his chair Harrison moved forward toward a lone pillar in the room and placed his right hand upon it. A woman's face then appeared before him. "Gideon, search for all reference to a Doctor Lillian Snow. Both in this timeline and the original."
"Yes Doctor Wells." The voice responded and quickly images of news articles and government issued certificates were set about for him to view. "It appears in your original timeline Doctor Lillian Snow would have died the night of the particle accelerator explosion. She was killed in a car accident with a drunk driver on her way home from Central City Hospital."
"In your altered timeline it appears she was never killed. There is a missing persons report on her, not issued until months from now. I believe you will want to see this." Said the voice of Gideon as a marriage certificate appeared before him. It was dated from his home time, around the date that he had left. On it read Eobard Thawne and Lillian Snow.
"How did this happen?" Harrison asked as he removed the glasses from his face.
"Well, I would assume you two fell in love." Gideon spoke with a slight sarcastic undertone.
"That's not what I meant." Harrison snapped at the artificial intelligence. "How did my influence here prevent her death?" Moving himself back to the wheelchair he sat himself down with a huff.
"It appears as though something with the particle accelerator may have had something to do with it. It appears as though the autopsies from both timelines show different DNA sequences. The original is normal and the current timeline shows the presence of the Metagene." Said Gideon.
Harrison ran a hand through his hair. "So it would seem, I somehow altered her timeline. Interesting, she's an anomaly, something that shouldn't exist. Gideon turn on the feed from the cortex."
From his chair he sat and watched as Lillian interacted with Caitlin. Harrison watched as Lillian's fingers poked away at the tablet she was holding, Caitlin at her side obviously explaining everything they had found so far on Barry's condition. He watched as she pulled her lip between her teeth as she thought deeply scanning in the information before her. "Gideon what is her power?"
"I am unable to answer that Doctor Wells. It appears as though your future self erased that information from my records." Gideon replied. "However there is something else I believe you would wish to see."
While the feed still showed Lillian and her sister working away, Gideon pulled up another document for Harrison to view. It was a birth certificate and it read Eobard Thaddeus Thawne Junior
"I have a son…" Setting himself back properly in his chair Harrison left the room and made his way back to the Cortex. When he arrived he found Lillian and Caitlin sipping their respective coffees as they looked over a comatose Barry. It was in that moment that Caitlin's phone buzzed in her pocket and she excused herself from the room.
"He looks so peaceful doesn't he." Harrison spoke as he wheeled himself next to Lillian.
"Yeah, it will be a shock when he wakes up." Said Lillian as she then proceeded to take a sip of her coffee and turn to look at Harrison.
"So you think he will wake up then?" Asked Harrison, looking at Lillian with a curious eye.
Smiling Lillian glanced back to Barry before looking down at Harrison. "Of course. His cells, they are regenerating themselves and at speeds far beyond that of a normal persons. So I would say, it is only a matter of time before Mr. Allen's body decides that it is time to wake up."
Her tone of voice sounded enthused and intrigued, but Lillian found it hard to act completely surprised as she had seen almost the exact same thing in her own cells. I also seemed that Harrison noticed this.
"You don't seemed as intrigued as I would figure someone with your background would be, why is that?" Asked Harrison as he waited to judge her reaction.
"I've seen the impossible recently Doctor Wells." Lillian spoke before realizing what she was doing. "You know saving lives, with new technology and all that…"
"Lillian." Caitlin began as she re-entered the room. "I am sorry but I have to go to an appointment, if you want I'll walk you back to your car make sure you don't get lost." She said with a giggle.
Lillian looked to her sister and gave a slight sigh before making to step around Harrison. When his hand shot up and lightly grabbed her forearm.
Looking to Caitlin, Harrison gave a slight smile before saying. "If Doctor Snow would prefer to stay, I am more than happy to assist her in whatever she needs. That is if your sister doesn't mind my company."
Caitlin gave a slight laugh and looked at her sister with a smirk. "Oh trust me Doctor Wells, I don't think Lillian would mind your company."
"Caitlin." Lillian said with a gruff undertone, telling her sister she wished her to be quiet. "Actually, there is a few tests that I would like to run if you don't mind me hanging around longer?" She asked this with a smile as she looked down to Harrison.
Harrison released his hold on Lillian and looked up to meet her gaze. "I would enjoy the company, so please the lab is yours. If you can wake Mr. Allen then your assistance is invaluable."
"Okay well, I will leave the two of you to it then. Cisco should be here in a couple of hours too to help you out." Caitlin said with a smile, then she turned and began to leave the room before pausing to look back. "We are still on for dinner though don't forget."
"Never." Lillian said with a smile and then watched as her sister disappeared from sight leaving Lillian alone with Doctor Wells. "If you wouldn't mind Doctor Wells could I run a few blood tests of my own?"
"Of course. Do you require any assistance Doctor Snow?" Asked Harrison.
"If you are offering your company, I am more then willing to accept. Also please just call me Lillian. With Caitlin here it can get a little confusing." Said Lillian as she moved towards one of the desks outside of Barry's room. Setting down her coffee she looked back to Harrison with a smile.
Harrison returned her smile with one of his own. "Lillian." He said with a slight nod of his head. "Now, what can I help you with?"
"Well I would love to run a few blood tests of my own." Said Lillian as she looked excitedly at the lab that was off to the side.
Seeing the large smile on Lillian's face Harrison found himself giving a light chuckle and motioning with his hand toward the lab. Lillian gave an excited squeal and quickly made her way into the lab with Harrison wheeling behind her.
It had been a few hours and Lillian found herself pouring over some samples of Barry's blood under a microscope. Doctor Wells has moved some time ago towards another part of the lab and was typing away at one of the computers. She watched the way Barry's cells moved and the state at which they regenerated.
Taking a quick glance to her side Lillian noted that Harrison seemed preoccupied with his current task so she raised a hand to hold it just near to the sample of Barry's blood that she had laid on the microscope. Placing her eyes at the viewfinder she watched the cells as she concentrated on using her powers. Lillian felt the warmth in her palm a second before she watched the cells in Barry's blood move at such a speed that they almost seemed to vibrate. Then a second later there was an explosion.
"Ahh!" Lillian screamed as she moved to shield herself from blast of flying debris. The force of the blast blew her back and off the stool she had been sitting on. The last thing she felt was a sting on her skin as she was hit with glass and metal and then there was the woosh of air around her and a streak of red.
Harrison who had been silently working at the side of the room kept his senses open as Lillian had worked away at another side of the room. He watched he in a reflection off a monitor to his side. It had all happened so fast, faster than he could have imagined. One moment he was watching a soft glow emerge from Lillian's palm. He was able to see the transfer of energy as it connected with Barry's blood sample, and while the naked eye would never have seen it, he saw the speed force react to her power, in a way he had never seen before. The reaction could be felt all the way to where he was sat, the speed force and the reaction to her power.
The blow back had not been what he expected, but it only made sense with the speed force not being contained inside a conduit of any kind. With the explosion of speed force around him Harrison was able to move himself with a speed he had not felt in quite some time. Moving himself through the room he reached Lillian and pulled her out of immediate danger of a piece of flying debris and then pushed his chair a safe distance away before situating himself back in it. He let the edge of the blast push the chair back a few feet as to not take any injuries from the blast.
Looking over to where he had set Lillian to slide along the floor had been strategic enough to have her come to rest in the middle of the cortex, with nothing more than a few cuts. He wheeled himself over to her and leaned down to examine her as she continued to lay there with her eyes closed. "Doctor Snow?" Harrison questioned as he replayed the events in his mind. He had ensured she would just slide along the cortex floor, there was no reason for her to be unconscious. Leaning himself slightly farther down he stretched his arm out, careful as to not move himself too much incase she suddenly awoke. The tips of his fingers hovered just above Lillian's shoulder when a spark of electricity jolted from her and into his hand.
Harrison felt the Speed Force flowing through him yet again and then Lillian's eyes opened, the flashes of red electricity moved behind her green eyes as her vision as she locked eyes with him.
Lillian felt as though she had drank the equivalent to ten espressos. She was buzzing with energy and as the events of what had just happened replayed in her brain she felt surprisingly good for having just been involved in an explosion. That was when she remembered she had used her powers and the combination with Barry's blood had been what caused the microscope to explode.
With this realization her eyes opened quickly and she found herself staring up into Doctor Well's eyes, and for a split second he was not Doctor Wells. It was as though he was someone else, it was Doctor Wells staring down at her but for the quickest fraction of a second he looked like someone else.
As quickly as it had happened it was over and Lillian began to feel her head begin to pound and the sting of the cuts to her skin began to burn. "Owww." Groaned Lillian as she squinted her eyes closed and began to sit herself up.
"I don't think you should move Doctor Snow." Spoke Harrison as he eyed the woman before him. He watched as her as the cuts on her face began to knit themselves back together.
Feeling her skin closing Lillian opened her eyes and held her arms up in front of her. She watched in amazement as the cuts on her arms began to close. The only evidence of them being there was the rips in her shirt and the blood that was already beginning to dry on her skin. "But, I've never been able to heal myself." Whispered Lillian who then turned to look at Doctor Wells as if suddenly remembering that he was in the room.
"Your skin has never miraculously repaired itself before has it?" Asked Harrison as he leaned back in his chair.
"Umm. I should probably go." Lillian spoke as she began to panic and quickly stood up from the floor. "I ah, I'm sorry about your lab. I'll pay for whatever needs replacing. But I ah, I need to go…" Lillian said this as her eyes began to dart around the room as if to make sure that no one else had been here to witness what had happened.
"Doctor Snow." Harrison spoke as he watched the young woman before him begin to panic. She paid no mind to him though as she looked around the room like a frightened bird. "Lillian." Whispered Harrison as he reached out and grasped her wrist in his hand. A small shock from the contact paused Lillian in her tracks. "Please, just breathe."
"Doctor Wells…" Lillian whispered as she looked down at the scientist. Her eyes began to water and she quickly pulled her arm from his grasp so that she could wipe away the tears that threatened to fall. "I swear I've never hurt anyone, please don't lock me away..." She stared down at her shoes.
Harrison was shocked by the sudden change in the woman before him. She was timid now, and looked as though she was beginning to shake. It was not a look that suited her he thought to himself. "Lillian." Harrison spoke slowly as he tried to bring her attention back to himself. "Lily, please look at me."
At the nickname she looked up into Harrison's eyes. It seemed very unlike him to to refer to her with such a nickname, and by the look on his face even he was surprised by his words. But as quickly as it had been there it was gone and replaced with a neutral look as his eyes examined her.
"Let's get you cleaned up okay." He spoke softly and motioned to a stool off to the side of the room in the opposite direction of the lab she had just currently been working in. "I'll be right back."
Lillian followed Harrison's direction and moved herself to the stool and sat down. Her shoulders saged as she placed her hands together and allowed her arms to hang between her legs. She thought to herself how she should have not been so careless. Glancing back towards the lab she had been working in, she thought back to the events that occured.
She remembered watching Barry's blood cells begin to vibrate at a speed that she soon could not see, even with the assistance of the microscope. Then everything happened so fast. Lillian remembered the explosion and attempting to shield herself from debris that was blown around the room. Then there was the blur, what she could have only described as red lightning around her and then she was laying in the middle of the cortex, which really didn't make any sense considering where she had been sat. Logically she should have smashed herself into the glass window that divided the room from the Cortex, but somehow she had been pushed out the doorway.
Then there had been Doctor Wells. He had been in the lab with her but he didn't have a scratch on him, and his eyes, she thought to herself. When she had looked at him she could have sworn a different person was standing in front of her. It was odd, it was like she was looking at Harrison Wells, but it was not him. Almost as if he was two people melded into one. She must have hit her head when she hit the floor, that was the only way she could think to explain what she saw.
Harrison arrived back and made his way to Lillian's side. A sweater draped over his shoulder and cloth in his hand. He brought his chair to rest next to Lillian so that they were almost touching. Reaching his free hand underneath the stool he lowered her down as low as the seat would allow. Holding the cloth in his hand Harrison slowly raised it and brushed it gently on Lillian's cheek removing some of the blood that had dried there.
Lillian noticed how gentle he was and once he had finished with her face had backed his chair up slightly from her. "If ahh...you would remove your shirt we can finish getting you cleaned up." Harrison spoke with a slight stutter. The heat rose into Lillian's cheeks as she thought about stripping in front of this man before her.
"Here, I brought this for you as well." Said Harrison as he held out the cloth and the sweater that had been resting on his shoulder. Lillian took the items from the scientist and then just stared at him. "Sorry, I'll ah turn around." Harrison then wheeled his chair around so that his back faced Lillian.
With a sigh Lillian stood from the stool and placed the items she held upon it. Beginning at the top of her blouse she began to undo the buttons with shaky fingers, and once she had the garment off she quickly began to scrub the dried blood from her arms.
Harrison watched Lillian's blurred reflection through a piece of metal backing on a desk. He had to admit there was a small initial attraction to her. Something primal, something he normally scuffed at and attributed to the lesser intelligence's need to find a mate. But he could not deny the thought of having a son awoke something in him. A feeling in which he never thought he would ever have, the want to have a family. He had spent so much time be angry at the Flash and hating him that having a normal life was never in the cards for him. His future was never to be a good guy, it was always to be the Flash's greatest enemy. But now, now he had somehow changed his own future. The existence of one soul surviving supposedly changed everything for him.
The coolness of the cloth against her skin was beginning to chill Lillian and she was thankful that she was almost done cleaning herself off. Once she had finished she exchanged the cloth for the sweater that was sat on the seat. Quickly pulling it over her head to cover herself, relishing in the warmth the S.T.A.R. Labs sweater provided she wrapped her arms around herself. "I'm decent." She said with a slight laugh.
Turning himself back around Harrison folded his hands together and rested his elbows on the arms of his chair. "So Doctor Snow, would you care to explain how exactly you exploded my microscope?"
"I'm not actually sure how I did it Doctor Wells." Replied Lillian as she looked to the lab once again replaying what had happened in her mind.
"Perhaps we should start from the very beginning then." Said Harrison simply.
Lillian turned back to look at the Scientist who was sat before her. "It happened the night your particle accelerator exploded. I was in surgery working on a young boy. Everything happened so fast, but I remember the boy flatlining and then power going out in the surgical unit. I stuck my hand in his chest and messaged his heart to keep his blood flowing." As she said this Lillian pulled her hand from her chest and held it slightly in front of her, slowly pulsing her fingers closed as if she was reliving the event once again. "Then I remember the pulse. The only way I can describe it is as if I had been struck by lightning. The shockwave knocked everyone over in the suite, but I was still stood there holding onto this child's heart, keeping it beating. The power came back on after that, and I remember my hand feeling warm and watching as the heart that I was holding onto begin to beat on its own."
She pulled her hand back in and began to fidget with a loose string on the sweater she wore. "I thought it was just a miracle. But then I found the children in my care from that point on all began to have miraculous recoveries. Lung defects were repairing themselves. Heart murmurs were gone by the next morning check up. I realized it was me, I was the common factor in every case. Every patient I came into physical contact with had their body repaired. So then naturally I began to experiment. I don't have to be in direct contact with whatever I want to heal. I just need to be in very close proximity to it. I've never been able to heal myself though."
"Not until this moment?" Harrison questioned.
"No. I tried cutting myself with a scalpel." Lillian began before quickly sticking her hands out in front of her. "Strictly for scientific purposes I swear." She said as she saw Harrison's eyebrow raise at her statement. "Needless to say, hurt like hell, didn't heal."
"So your ability only affects others. Interesting." Spoke Harrison.
Lillian moved herself toward the lab she had been working in and peered in at the mess. "I wanted to see if Barry's blood would react to my attempt to heal the cells. Bring them back to their normal state. But...but something happened."
"What did you see?" Asked Harrison as he moved his chair through the room so that he could be next to Lillian.
"They went faster." Replied Lillian as she looked back to the table where she had been testing Barry's blood sample. "His cells, they sped up faster then they were already moving. The complete opposite of what should have happened. My power, it repairs damaged cells to their original state, but this time it just made it worse."
"How much control do you have over your power?" Asked Harrison as he spun his chair around to look at Lillian.
Lillian sighed. "I don't think it was a problem with control. This, this was something el…"
"Fracken Hell!" Came a voice from behind them. "What happened to Caitlin's Lab?"
"Mr. Ramon." Harrison spoke as he turned to face his employee. "Just a minor explosion, nothing to worry about."
As Lillian turned around she found a man standing there with long hair and a Star Wars T-shirt on holding a big belly burger cup. "Hello. I don't believe we have met before. My name is Cisco Ramon esteemed mechanical engineer of Star Labs, it is my pleasure to meet you." He spoke suavely as he looked at Lillian.
"Mr. Cisco Ramon, this Doctor Lillian Snow, Caitlin's sister." Harrison said with a slight smirk on his lips. He got an odd sense of fulfillment when he saw the shocked look takeover the young man's face.
Lillian gave as chuckle as she too witnessed Cisco's reaction. Sticking out her hand in greeting she placed a smile on her lips. "Pleasure to meet you Mr. Ramon." She gave another chuckle as Cisco took her hand in his and gave it an awkward shake. The whole time Harrison watching the contact waiting to see if the same electrical shock would occur, like when he and Lillian touched. There was nothing, no visual shock, and no look as to say that either of them had felt anything.
"Umm...so, you are Caitlin's sister, and your a Doctor?" Cisco questioned as he released the shake.
"Yup twins since birth." Lillian said with a laugh, "and I'm a Surgeon. Pediatric to be precise."
"Mr. Ramon, I was going to show Lillian around the building if you wouldn't mind cleaning up the lab for me." Harrison said with a forced smile. He then raised his hand and placed it on the small of Lillian's back and began to lead her out of the Cortex. When the two of them were out into the hall Harrison directed her down a corridor and into his personal office.
Once they had entered the room Harrison closed the door behind them. "So what happens now Doctor Wells?" Asked Lillian as she began to once again fidget with the sleeve of her sweater.
Harrison had so many questions, had so many thoughts as to what her powers might hold. How they might be linked with the speed force. But what was he to do? He could not tell her anything, and it would be far to suspicious if he gave any inclination to knowing what was wrong with Barry. There was no many what ifs, to many variables to his plan now, and he did not like it.
"You don't tell anyone. We test you, at a later date, see if we can figure out exactly what caused this. But until then, you should no longer use your power. Well it may seem fine now there may be consequences for your actions…"
"I won't stop, not if it means letting someone die." Lillian spoke shurley. She was shocked at Harrison's words. "There has not been a consequence of my actions yet, and I've already ran my tests on myself. Your particle accelerator spewed out dark matter Doctor Wells, it's imbedded in my DNA, re-written it. I have the ability to save a life and if there is a consequence I will deal with it, but I hold peoples...children's lives in my hands, when given the choice I will always choose life!" Lillian had not realized how loud she had gotten but she was shouting now.
"And what if this is killing you, what if the usage of your power drains you somehow? What if a life you save today leads to a killer twenty years from now, perhaps that boy you saved was never meant to live." Harrison began, before finding himself cut off by Lillian.
"That is a lot of what if's Doctor Harrison. I've drawn blood, I've done my tests. I might just seem like a Doctor to you, but do not for a second forget that I am also a Scientist. I just chose the field that allows me to get my hands dirty and save a life, instead of just sitting behind a desk playing god!"
Harrison was taken aback by the sudden change in Lillian's demeanor. The more worked up she appeared to get the straighter she began to stand. No longer did she fidget nervously, but instead stood tall and had her shoulders back. She looked as though she was ready to fight, to attack if needed.
"Doctor Snow, with your power, YOU are playing god. You are choosing who lives, when by all scientific fact they should be dead." Said Harrison who at this point was so infuriated he found himself wanting to stand and place his hand through this woman's chest.
"Thank you for allowing me the time to see Barry's condition Doctor Wells and to see the true you. I think it best for me to leave now." Lillian spoke sharply before turning and heading to the door, swinging it open she stepped out and into the hall and began to make her way back to the Cortex to collect her things. "Also, I'm keeping the sweater." She shouted as she disappeared from Harrison's view.
Storming her way through the Cortex Lillian grabbed her back and shredded shirt and headed to leave the building. When she finally arrived at her car she tossed her items in and got in the driver's seat. Angrily she pushed the start button and the car roared to life. Then looking at the time realized she was supposed to be meeting Caitlin for dinner in twenty minutes.
Harrison made his way to the time vault and once safely tucked inside he stood angrily from his chair. "She knew it was my particle accelerator that gave her her power." He spoke as he moved to the console in the center of the room. "Gideon, why did I ask you to scrub Lillian's Snow's powers from the records, what is her connection to the speed force?"
"You instructed me not to tell you Doctor Wells." Gideon replied.
"Why, what is so important about her that I would not want myself to know at this point in the timeline?" Harrison yelled at the Artificial Intelligence.
"You did not tell me Sir. However, you did tell me should you seem persistent to show you this." Spoke Gideon and suddenly a video appeared in front of Harrison. It was slightly shaky telling him it must have been filmed on a hand held device.
Harrison starred curiously at the video as recognition hit him. It was the Flash Museum, from his time, and it looked just as he remembered it. "Who's that Momma?" Came the voice of child somewhere off the screen. The camera slowly panned down and soon a mass of messy blonde hair came into view. The figure was short obviously as child Harrison thought as the child turned around to look at the camera. It was a boy dressed in a simple grey blazer and black slacks. He could not have been any older then five. "Why that is the Thinker, Thaddeus. He was a great villain of the Flash he…"
"Momma, Momma, who was this?" The boy questioned and quickly ran from view of the camera. It panned up then, and moved to show a woman, Lillian Snow dressed in a simple black short sleeve dress. She looked older than the woman Harrison had seen today but it was definitely her.
"Why Thaddeus, that is your Mom." Came a voice Harrison had not heard in 15 years. His voice, his true voice.
"Momma knew the flash!" The boy spoke excitedly. The camera then zoomed in on Lillian who was covering her face with her hands as she began to blush.
"She worked with the Flash, helped him on his missions to save the city." Came the voice from off camera again. It sent a shiver through Harrison to hear the words but not remember having ever said them.
"Eobard please." Lillian said with a laugh as she moved forward toward the camera. "And you are filming this too, why Eobard so you can embarrass me later too?"
The camera then shuffled around slightly and then went dark for a second before an image Harrison had long forgotten emerged on the screen. Eobards arm...his arm, wrapped itself around Lillian and pulled her in close to him. "How am I supposed to remember all these moments if I don't record them." Eobard said with a laugh.
"Well you could always just run back to them." Lillian whispered with a smile on her face.
"What fun is that if you and Thaddeus are not with me." The image of Eobard then moved to place his lips on Lillian's and the two shared a kiss.
Thaddeus's voice spoke off camera after a few seconds. "Ewwww Momma and Papa that's gross!" At this Eobard and Lillian broke apart each laughing lightly as they stared into each other eyes, and then the video went black.
"That was all you had instructed of me Doctor Wells. You said it should quell any curiosity you might have." Gideon spoke as the video disappeared from view.
Harrison remained quiet as the image of the young boy still appeared in the forefront of his mind. The birth certificate, that was his son. Lillian referred to him as Eobard. He had made it back to his time, he was himself again. With a wife and a son.
"Doctor Wells." Gideon spoke.
Giving his head a shake Harrison removed his glasses from his face and rubbed his eyes. "Yes Gideon?"
"Will that be all Doctor Wells?" Asked Gideon.
"Did I tell you why I would have wanted to show myself this?" Asked Harrison as he walked slowly back to his chair and sat himself down.
"I believe your exact words were, 'you didn't want yourself to fuck it up.'" Gideon spoke. "Doctor Wells, I should also note that there are trace amounts of speed force detected in your system."
