'Harrison Wells' stood inside the Time Vault, gazing at his Reverse-Flash suit. He was thinking, plotting, finding a way for him to go home. To returned to his time. Because of his meddling with time, he could not have access to the Speed Force.
Originally, he went back in time to kill his archenemy, the Flash. He got tired of the fight that never ended between him and the Flash. But one day, he learned something. The real identity of the Flash. Barry Allen.
From there onwards, he learned everything that he could get his hands on this Barry Allen. And then he found his answer to defeat the Flash. Why didn't he just make the Flash never happened? To kill Barry Allen before he became the Flash.
He traveled back in time to the time when Barry was still a kid. But his plan didn't go as he planned. The Flash followed him to the past and managed to save young Barry before he could have a chance to kill him.
But then, an inspiration struck him. If he could not kill the Flash, what if he made him feel despair, so deep in despair until he wouldn't even rise again and took up the Flash mantle. So he proceeded to kill his mother, Nora Allen, and framed his father for the kill.
Back to the Time Vault, he tried to turn on Gideon, the AI from the future, but no response came. And then he switched it to reveal the newspaper. He was shocked. The headline changed, and there were three headlines. That meant the future wasn't his future anymore.
'How did this happen? Where did I slip up?'
SUPERMAN SAVES THE WORLD FROM INVASION
THE MAN OF STEEL IS THE ENEMY
THE FLASH MISSING IN CRISIS
And at the byline was the name of one Julia Greer. There was no Iris West-Allen like it used to, but the year was still 25th April, 2025. 'Those probably are the possibilities of the future. Which one will happen I don't know. I'm in uncharted waters right now.'
And then he got out of the Time Vault, and headed back to the Cortex. 'It seems I must move up the time table and recreate the Flash soon.'
I was sleeping. That's the thing I do, or remembered to do, before I was sucked into my mindscape forcefully. And then, the dimension full of lightning storm was there before my eyes.
"It's good to see you again, Ken-El. Or should I say, Kyle?" said a very familiar voice that I hadn't heard in a very long time.
"Henry?" the man laughed before he calmed his self down.
"How did it feel like being a kid again, huh?" I totally forgot about that. I still had to pay him back from that.
"You damn old man. I'm gonna kill you right about now," with that, the chase was on.
After several hours maybe, I got him and began beat him up. Until I felt enough, and then we just laughed it off. "It's good to see you again, Henry. What brings you here to my head?"
He frowned. This must be a bad news. Very bad news. "It seemed that your interference in this Earth has made a few altercations. For example-"
"-Barry Allen is not the Flash anymore, is it?"
"That would be correct."
"It is my fault. No worries, I'll take up the mantle, but not the name."
"What do you have in mind?"
"If Earth-38 has Superman and Supergirl, why don't Earth-1 has one as well?" I smirked at him and then he laughed again. For anything's sake, the Speed Force sure loved to laugh wasn't it?
After his laugh died down, I asked again. "What are the others?"
"I don't know. The future is always unclear with you, Ken-El. I think you should reveal yourself to the world sooner." As he finished that, he just disappeared and I was back on my bed at my house.
"Kelex, get me an appointment with Dr. Harrison Wells of S.T.A.R Labs," if Barry didn't become the Flash, I should branch out to Central City and build an office there. Maybe S.T.A.R Labs could be the proper place. Besides, I needed brains like Cisco and Caitlin. I'd buy it from Wells.
"Done, sir," not long later, my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Good Morning. Mr. Kennedy I presume. It is me, Dr. Harrison Wells. I just received an email from you about cooperating together between Kennedy, Inc. and S.T.A.R Labs?"
"Ahh, Dr. Wells. Good Morning. Well, thank you for responding immediately and I apologize for such a sudden notification. And yes, I propose that we should combine our work in finishing your infamous life work project, The Particle Accelerator, I recall?"
And that's my move 'Harrison'. I'd wait for yours.
I oversee the construction of the club that would be Oliver's hideout as the Hood. It was already on 80% progress thanks to me. My staffs allowed the construction to be finished faster than ever. Oliver didn't hire any workers to do this. He asked me to deploy my androids to do it. And I accepted. I called them all the way from the Fortress, but they got here via teleportation portal between the Fortress locked to the beacon that I always held with me. So they could finished the club faster.
And then Oliver came. "So, how long until it finishes?"
"I think several more days," Oliver nodded at that, "we need to talk about the Undertaking. Let's go inside. Lyla! Join us for a sec,"
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
"So, you want to expose Malcolm early? What changes?"
I sighed. Maybe it was time to reveal it. "Your father. I told Robert that I will get the Queen's name clean from the aftermath of the Undertaking, but he went out of his way and spilled it to Malcolm. Now he knows that someone is hindering his plan and sooner or later, reveal himself as Al-Saher."
Lyla seemed pretty confused at this. "What are you guys on about?"
I showed Lyla the data I had on the Undertaking to her. She was shocked too like Oliver, and I need her connection to Waller to smooth things out. "I need A.R.G.U.S's help, Lyla. I'm sure Waller would be happy."
"I'll call the Director," she pulled out her phone and call Waller.
"Yes, Agent Michaels?"
"Director, there is a situation. Looked into the file that was just arrived,"
"Is this…?"
I decided to step in and make the call to be on speaker. "Yes, it is, Waller. I need a favor. Expose Malcolm Merlyn, but keep the Queen's name out of it. We need a scapegoat, and you know it."
"Ah, Mr. Kennedy. The one who destroyed Reiter. I should have known it was you back then. Yes, you are right. We need a scapegoat, but why should I comply to this request of yours?"
"I'd help you to gather the members for your Task Force – X. But never even think of controlling me. Back to the topic, we'll use Frank Chen. He was the one who planted the bomb on the Gambit," this fact shocked the A.R.G.U.S agents. "Pay Robert and Moira Queen a visit, and then Chen. That should be good."
"Your assistance is certainly appreciated , Mr. Kennedy. But, are you not worried I might expose your and Mr. Queen's secret to everybody?"
I laughed at that and shot back. "You won't do that, and you know it. Me and Oliver are too valuable for you to be your enemies. You certainly don't want me as your enemy."
"You have yourself a deal, Mr. Kennedy. I'll send you the people I have put my eyes on-"
"Keep Slade Wilson out of it, Waller, or I swear-"
"- He's already on board with me. He is a very good field operative. He'll be their handler."
And then my screen revealed the file that Waller just sent, and showed us several names. Chein Na White, Floyd Lawton, George Harkness were just starters. I know there were more to come, but I'd be patient.
"I'll go get them tonight and be done by tomorrow, thank you Waller."
And that earned me a very loud shout and protests.
"What the hell was that?!" both of them shout at me, yelling the same question. Okay that's weird. Very weird.
"You know I can do it. Don't worry. Oliver, you and Lyla keep the city safe while I'm gone. I intend to finish this ASAP," besides, I had Eobard Thawne to take care of soon.
"Okay, Kyle. We expose Malcolm now, and then what? We don't even know where he keeps the machine," Ollie said his concerns about this.
I showed Lyla and Oliver another file that contained infos about the Markov Device. "FYI, he has two devices. I trust A.R.G.U.S will lend a hand when the time comes, Lyla?"
Lyla nodded, "Sure."
"Wait, you're not gonna be here when it all are being done?"
I looked at him with a regretful face. "I'm afraid not."
"Why?"
"I have to go to Central City. Expand my company there since that city is the place where techs are at the highest. I trust you can do it, Ollie. You have Lyla, and the League will help if you give them the word. This is your mission. Right your parents wrongs."
Oliver then shook his head in understanding and then he nodded. "Okay."
First, I searched for Chein Na White because she's the easiest of the three. If I remembered correctly, TRIAD had contacts with Lawton. As for Harkness, I could just track him with Kelex.
"Kelex, scan the globe for Chein Na White, Floyd Lawton and George Harkness."
"Scanning. Found them. Sending coordinates now."
Good. Let's go hunting.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
As I spotted China White, she were dropping drugs to the port to be sent somewhere it seemed. I wore my suit, resembling that of Oliver with the House of El sigil, black in color, with hood, mask, and mask that cover my mouth.
I pulled out my hand, and a bow appeared from the nano tech. I reached for an arrow, pulled the string and released it. The arrow hit a guy in the head and the others started to stopped what they were doing and looked to their fallen friend.
I dropped down from my hiding spot, and they started to open fire at me. Their bullets just bounced off my suit. They kept firing until they ran out of bullets. As they're out of ammo, China White started saying something in Chinese, something about beating me down maybe.
As the first man shouted at me while trying to sliced me with his knife, I caught his hand and then punched him in the face, sent him flying and went unconscious. I sighed as I grew bored. This Earth had no one that I could challenge myself to. And it's very boring.
When the next person approached, I let him punched me, the other got behind me and holding me to prevent me from running as the thugs beat me up with their fist. Then I released all the kinetic energy that the suit had absorbed and sent all of the men flying. And then there was one. Only China White herself.
"I'll give you the upperhand. You have 5 minutes to try escape me. That should be plenty of time for you, and it starts now."
China White was smart. She knew she couldn't win against me, and used every advantage she had. I didn't need to taste her combat capabilities. I knew she was one of the high ranking members of TRIAD.
The 5 minutes were up. And I gave chase to her. I used my senses to the limit to find her. In the air, the streets, underground, the water. I flew to the city, and began to looked for her.
It wasn't very difficult to find her as I had superior senses. I could separate her from anybody else and flew towards her location. She was in an abandoned building. I saw her hiding in one of the many of the rooms, and I busted her from the sky. Landing in front of her.
She backed away from me and spoke, "What do you want with me?"
"It's nothing personal," after that I struck her with a kick to the abdomen, she couldn't block the strike and was sent across the room. She got up and rushed to me with her knife. I let her stabbed me, or at least tried to.
The blade was broken from its handle because colliding against my body, and she looked me with fear in her eyes, "What are you?"
"Someone you never want to cross," and then I knocked her out. "One down, two to go."
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
I dodged the bullet that was shot at me by Lawton. I found him in an apartment while he was cleaning his sniper rifle. Seemed like he wasn't one to talk peacefully. "What do you want?"
"A duel. Which one kills faster. My arrow or your bullet," what kind of nonsense did I spit? I know the answer obviously.
"I didn't see you carrying your bow," a moment later, my nano-bow was out. And then he grabbed his sniper and ran outside. I kept him in sight using my x-ray and he was on the roof top.
I rushed to the roof and prepare my bow. As I got there, Lawton shot first and I shot my arrow. My arrow, and his bullet collided and the result was my arrow was broken. I sighed and Lawton still had his guard up.
"I knew the result, Mr. Lawton. Thanks for humoring me. And I'm sorry for this. It's nothing personal," I disappeared only to reappeared behind him.
"What the-" and I knocked him unconscious.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
"There are yours, Waller. Keep your end of our deal."
Oliver was with me when I delivered them to Waller. Fortunately, Harkness was really easy to find. He was at a his safe house sleeping. So, I knocked him out and brought him here like the rest.
"Of course, Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Queen, if you would follow me, we have a plan to make," said Waller to Oliver as she walked out of the holding cell.
"You're not coming, Kyle?" I shook my head. "Why?"
"I have something to take care of. Maybe I won't be in Starling anymore, Oliver. See you around, Oliver," I waved my hand to him and I activated the stealth mode of my suit and flew away.
It's time to work with S.T.A.R Labs.
Notes:
I am pretty much stuck. Any ideas?
