Location: Unknown.

He woke up with a shuddering breath. The first thing he saw was that he was in a glass cell. A glass cell which was in some kind of dungeon cave. The last thing he remembered was fighting a speedster dressed in black. This speedster had invaded the Wizarding World six months ago. He had been unable to catch up with this man..Zoom. That was what the speedster had called himself. "Mmmghhhhrrr", to his shock he found that he could not form a word. Raising his hands to his face, he felt the iron mask that was tightly clad around his face.

With a sudden desperation he tried to pry it off his face. His attempts did not succeed. Trying to access his speed he tried to phase through the mask. Nothing. He could not access the Speedforce. There was something blocking it! As he looked around the cell, he saw his wand! Yes! Now he could try to pry off the mask using a silent spell. Hah! Zoom obviously did not know that not only he was a speedster but also a wizard!

Reaching for the wand, he gathered into his magic and cast the Unlocking charm on the mask. Or more correctly he tried to do so. To his utter horror he found that the same thing blocking his speed was blocking his magic!

"Missing something?", he heard a dark chuckle. The sight that met him when he looked up terrified him. A man costumed entirely in black was standing in front of him. Blue sparks of lightning danced around him. His mask covered the entirety of his face having openings only for his eyes and slits for his mouth. The man's eyes though were the most terrifying part about him. They were black, cold, unfeeling and pure evil. ZOOM.

"Welcome to my..humble abode. Do you like it? Oops. Sorry. You cannot speak", the man chuckled.

"NNGGHH", the man banged his fists against the glass in fury. How had Zoom kidnapped him? He had been about to win in his last fight with Zoom. Then another terrifying thought struck him. What about his world! Now that he was incapacitated, what would Zoom do to it? No! He could not anything happen to it! With that he intensified his struggles against the glass.

"There is no use struggling, Flash. Do not worry about your Earth. I have no plans for it...yet. For now, get comfortable because this is the last place on any Earth you are going to see", Zoom replied with a guttural growl, and with burst of blue lightning, he was gone.

The Man in The Iron Mask sagged in defeat hands, muted sobs emanating from him.

*********** The Emerald Speedster**********

Great Hall, Hogwarts.

With a great joy, Albus Dumbledore, the 120 year old Headmaster of Hogwarts (Technically 60 ever since Harry's power surge) sprung from his chair with an agility beyond his age and hugged Arianna.

"Arianna. Dear sweet little Arianna. You are alive.", he mumbled tears of happiness running down his face. Arianna hugged him back with the same vigor. After a long time, she was reunited with her brother.

"I am so sorry Arianna. It was my fault that you were killed. If I had not fought...", he was suddenly cut off by Arianna who replied in a low voice, inaudible to all but Albus.

"No Albus, do not complete that. It was not your fault. Besides, I think the Speed Force meant for it to happen. I was always destined to be a speedster...just like Harry." At the shocked look on Dumbledore's face, she smiled, continuing in the same low voice, "Yes, I know Albus, it showed me. And it showed me many other things. Albus, there are many things I need to discuss with you and Harry, Al.", her eyes turned serious.

The headmaster's eyes also turned serious. It seemed there was more to her return than he thought. Also, Arianna was no longer the young 16 year old sister he had known. Her eyes showed far more wisdom and age. She could even be more older that him and Abe combined.

"Very well Ri", he used her old nickname,"why don't you settle in. I shall take to you our home. We shall discuss this later today at my office. For now let me introduce you to the others".

"Everyone I have a small announcement to make. May I introduce you all to my sister Arianna?", at everyone's shocked look, he chuckled and continued,"There is an explanation for that. I had always suspected that Arianna did not die, but was merely trapped in another dimension. Today those suspicions were confirmed. Arianna has finally come back. As to the how, that is a piece of advanced magic.", with that everyone accepted Dumbledore's word and went back to eating. It was a testament to how much people trusted Dumbedore's word as gospel, which sometimes he found irritating but useful at times. Only Harry had a knowing look in his eyes.

He did not tell everyone the truth knowing how fickle the Wizarding World was, should they learn of the existence of people with super powers.

At the Gryffindor table, Harry mused over what had happened. It seemed he would not have to do the ritual for bring Arianna. As he looked around the table, he was reminded of who they lost. Everyone around the table wore grim faces. The Weasley twins, who would normally be laughing and cracking jokes, were but, a pale shadow of themselves. They looked like they would never smile again in their life. Ginny was picking up at her food, her face looking as if she hadn't slept in many days. She had puffy eyes..which meant she had been crying. Clenching his fists Harry thought about Zoom. He had been much faster than Harry had been. He swore that he would find a way to get faster that Zoom and defeat him before he could hurt any of his friends.

Later that evening, Dumbledore summoned Harry, Hermione, the Weasleys, Sirius, Remus. It was time to tell Harry's friends everything. They deserved to know now more than ever, especially after Ron's death. Arianna and Aberforth who had a happy reunion earlier that day, and were with Albus, nodded at him to comfort him.

A stunned silence followed as Hermione, the Weasleys sans Arthur, digested this new information.

"Why Ron but, Professor?", came the hoarse question from George Weasley.

Dumbledore sighed, as Harry slumped further into his seat in sadness,"That is what I would like to know as well. Obviously he did it to hurt Harry here, but then that raises the question as to how he knew that would work. Zoom seems to know a lot about Harry."

"Albus, I believe I have some of the answers to that question.", all heads turned to look expectantly.

"When I was in the Speed Force, it showed me..things. Why I do not know, but there must have been a reason. It always does things for a reason. You see, I am different from Harry. I cannot tell you the specifics but lets just say that Harry has a more natural connection to the speed force. He was always destined to be the Emerald Flash, in any timeline.", she replied mysteriously. Harry stared intensely at her. What on earth did she mean? Great..she was no more cryptic than her brother, he thought sarcastically. Continuing Arianna said,

"Coming back to our topic, there is one thing I can tell you about Zoom. He is NOT from this Earth."

"Wait..do you mean that he is..from an alternate Earth?", Hermione asked in shock.

"Yes. There are infinite universes that exist at a time. Don't ask me technical aspect of it, because even I do not understand it fully. For now, understand it like this. Each decision of ours affects our lives. Each decision creates a new timeline. Like this there are infinite universes..each decision creates a new universe...For e.g in an alternate world, there were never any World Wars or even worse, Hitler won.", everyone shuddered at that. If there was a world were Hitler won, that equaled to Grindelwald winning since it was well known that Hitler's real name was Gellert Grindelwald.

"I do not know who Zoom is. That is something, I am afraid, you will have to find out yourself. But let me warn you. This is just the beginning. The Speed Force has warned me that there will be a storm and you, Harry, will be dang in the middle of it.", she gazed intently at Harry at this.

"We will have to prepare for it, won't we then?", he said.

"Well said my boy. And that is why I have invited along our mutual ally for that purpose.", Dumbledore said, locking his gaze with Harry's eyes, pleading with him mentally to maintain his calm.

"Good evening Gentlemen", came a smooth voice from the back.

Even though Dumbledore had told him about Riddle's changed nature, Harry could not help it. Years of anger, rage...desire for avenging his parents death...came to the forefront...barely a fraction of a second of a blink, Tom Riddle a.k.a Lord Voldemort was pushed against the wall, with an enraged speedster's hand pressed against his neck, the other vibrating as raised in a striking position. It happened too fast that no one realized it until they heard Tom's groan of pain.

"You...You...", Harry could only hiss in anger.

Tom did not react, slumping in acceptance. He had known that somehow this would happen, and he was not afraid to accept it.

"Potter...Harry. Go ahead. Kill me..I deserve it. I have committed many grave mistakes in my life. One of them was killing your parents...and I forever will regret it. Kill me so that I can finally reunite with her.", he replied.

"Harry, my boy,leave him. Now!", Dumbledore said sternly. "Remember what I told you! Yes Tom killed your parents but he was not entirely in control!"

Reluctantly Harry left Tom's throat. "I know that you regret your acts Riddle, but mark my words, I will forgive but I won't forget. If I find out that this is all an act, I will kill you faster than you can say Avada Kedavra!"

After everyone had settled down, Albus said,"Harry as much as you don't want to, I will have to insist of it. You have to train with Tom here to improve your magic skills.", raising his hand to stop Harry's protests, he replied,"Hear me out first..He will not be teaching you Dark spells..but instead Duelling...after all who better than to teach you than the Dark Lord himelf?", he chuckled at his attempt of humor. No one laughed.

"Arianna will train you in using the Speed Force. According to her you are still unskilled at using your speed", at that Harry perked up. Arianna probably had years of experience with the speed force...the things she could him.

"Well Harry, one of the first things you are going to learn is..blocking your mind using the Speed Force", Arianna quipped with an amused smile. At Harry's indigenous yelp, she chuckled,"Yes Harry, if trained properly, you can do more than just run with the speed force. One of these being able to read other minds. This is different from normal Legilmency and Occulmency in the sense that, a normal telepath-speedster can break through the Occlumency shields of a powerful wizard with ease."

"Oh Alright", he replied. Some of his unease must have shown through however as Arianna replied, "Don't worry Harry, whatever secrets of yours that I may see, will be yours to keep. By the Speed Force I swear this to be.", he was surprised to see a bolt of gold lightning link both of them for a second and then dissappear.

"This is one of the things you are going to learn about. Vows, contracts made with the Speed Force are more purer and stronger than normal ones."

With their plans to prepare for Zoom discussed, they were about to disperse for the day when suddenly there was an alarm.

"It would seem someone unknown has entered the office.", Dumbledore glanced at the spiral stairs that lead up to his office. There was a sound of footsteps coming up the stairs.

Fingering their wands, everyone stood alert, Harry's aura manifesting in his eyes in preparation.

The man that came into view shocked them all.

"Hello..I am ..."

********* The Emerald Speedster************

Blue eyes sparkled with amusement. The new arrival was...interesting. Granted he was probably from another Earth, but still. Then the man frowned. His plans would have to be pushed even further now! They already had been pushed further due to Zoom's arrival.

This changed things a lot. He could not afford Zoom getting successful at killing Harry until his plans were complete. If needed he would have to do something about Zoom. For now, however, he would be content to sit and watch everything unfold. He enjoyed seeing Zoom destroy Harry emotionally anyway. Perhaps he would have to ensure that Harry was not too FAR gone for his plans to execute successfully.

A fraction of a second later, the man had slipped his suit on. It was yellowish green from the top, turning into blackish green down his legs. It had the same emblem Harry had except the lightning was in reverse.

It was time to take care of a few loose ends. There were some things that had happened in the old timeline that he could not let happen in this timeline.

********The Emerald Speedster*********

Cornelius Fudge mulled over the latest articles in the Prophet. Harry Potter had once again become the beloved of the Wizarding World! He on the other hand had been receiving flak for the decisions he had taken over the last year.

Well no more! He would see the Potter brat taken care of once and for all. He had devised a cunning plan with the help of Lucius Malfoy. Of course he knew that Malfoy was a Death Eater, but so long as the gold kept coming, who cared? Malfoy thought that this would please Lord Thingy...well so long as it suited him, he would play along!

First, they would find a way to frame Potter in a crime..the execution of this part of the plan would be left to Lucius. His job was to ensure that no evidence was uncovered, and that Potter did not get a fair trial but make the public think that he did. Chuckling he began planning.

In another timeline, Fudge would have succeeded, Harry who had not become the Flash until later in the old timeline, would have languished in Azkaban for a good one year, before Fudge was ousted and Harry freed. Harry would have recovered eventually and become the Flash later and the following story was something left for another time, but currently in this timeline, The man in the yellow suit could not let that happen as he needed Harry to be in full mental health when he executed his plan. Of course one would think that Harry being a speedster would change things..but it would not as Harry would choose for the truth to be found out in a lawful manner and subjugate himself to Azkaban for that one year and he did NOT want that.

"Cornelliuussss.", Fudge looked around in fright and saw a..vibrating man? The man had red glowing eyes which seemed to bore into him.

"W..wh..who are you? How did you get in here? Aurors!"

"Shhhh Corneliusss. They cannot hear you. Now let us talk." , the man replied.

"D..do you know who I am? I am the Minister of Magic!" he cried.

"Oh..trust me I know that. I know everything about you my dear Cornelius. Why, I even know about your...meetings with dear old Lucy.", the man said mockingly, his voice sinster and malicious.

"Wh..what are y..yyou talking about..", terrified, Cornelius tried to reach for his wand, but before he could even move his hand towards his wand, he heard a sickening crunch.

"Ah..Ah..none of that now,dear Corneliussss".

"AAAAH. Y...Y..you have broken my hand!", he cried, clutching his hand.

"Maybe that will teach you not to try and cross me.", the man growled. Gesturing for Fudge to sit on the chair, the man continued,

"Now, that we are all settled..let us continue. You see, you do not have any choice. Should you decide to tell anyone of what I tell you now, I shall destroy your entire life. Every citizen of Wizarding Britain will know their Minister's true nature...oh my..just imagine...what would they think?" he laughed cruelly.

Fudge paled. If there was one thing Fudge valued above anything else, it was his reputation. The man before him would gladly carry out his threats should he disobey him.

"Wh..what do you want. I will do anything! I...I swear!", he pleaded.

"Good. For starters..I want you to abandon your plan of taking care of Harry Potter. Oh..trust me, I hate him too", Fudge was momentarily shocked at the amount of hatred that showed through the man's eyes. But then the man chuckled evilly

"But I have far greater plans for him...oh far greater plans indeed. You are to do nothing against the boy. He must be kept...safe for now. Increase the auror security around Hogwarts. I shall let you know what you have to do. Until Ciao Corneliusssss".

A bolt of red lightning and the man was gone leaving a terrified minister in his office.

**********The Emerald Speedster***************

Authors Note: Hey guys..how was this chapter?

Some things to clarify:

1. Zoom and the man with blue eyes are two different characters. Also, no..they will not be the same characters from the TV show.

2. Harry is The Flash in this story..there will be no Barry Allen here. He might show up as an alternate Earth Flash though.

So...who do you think the four unknown characters are?

Man in The Iron Mask.

Zoom

Reverse Flash(Although I haven't given him the name yet, he is the Reverse Flash.)

and finally...

The new arrival at Dumbledore's office.

Do share your opinions :D
