S.T.A.R Labs, 1:35 A.M. August 2, 2020
The professor is sitting in the wheelchair, looking at the monitor. He hasn't talk since Chelsea told him that he will never walk again due to a lower spinal cord injury. Everyone left expect for Lincoln and Tabby. The white haired teen is on the treadmill, he's running to get better. Before the professor went silent he said that a yellow suited speedster came to him and attacked him, sending a message that Lincoln needs to get ready for their "race." Although he has doubt that it is a real race, he's still preparing for it. Tabby is checking Lincoln's speed. After an hour, Lincoln finally stopped as he was getting tired and a bit hungry. He grabbed a towel to stop sweating and grabbed a granola bar that Elias made to help Lincoln's energy to be stable. Lincoln went to the small room.
Lincoln: (catching his breath) So... How. Did i do?
Tabby looked at the monitor that recorded his latest test run.
Tabby: Well mate, you ran 547 mph. Your getting more faster, considering that you first ran 500 mph.
Lincoln was disappointed that he wasn't going fast enough.
Lincoln: (sad) Oh. Nice.
Tabby hear her boyfriend's disappointed and sad voice
Tabby: (concerned) Are you okay, luv?
Lincoln took a breath and sat at a chair.
Lincoln: I don't think I can do it.
Tabby: (concerned) Can't do what?
Lincoln started to tear up
Lincoln: (sad) I don't think, I can save everyone, I try and I did, but then Captain Cold shoot the freeze ray at a guard, I tried to run as fast as I can, but I was too slow. I'm making sure I run fast so that I won't be slow enough to save everyone. Not only that but before then, Weather Wizard was able to flip Luna's car which you and her were in it. Both of you were hurt, and now the professor has been attacked by some crazy speedster.
Tabby felt sorry for Lincoln so she gave him a hug which he accepted. He started to tear up more at her shoulder.
Lincoln: (sad) I don't want you, Luna, my friends, and my family to be targeted by him. I loved all of you and i want to make sure you and them will be safe, I need to make sure he doesn't do it again, but i don't think i can do it, not anymore.
Tabby felt bad about her boyfriend's situation as Lincoln was sadly doubting himself which hurts her to witness it.
Tabby: Lincoln. I know you can do it. Here's a thing. There will be times that you will not be able to save someone and sadly, you have to deal with it. But it doesn't mean you can't save people anymore or that you can't be a hero. Even superheroes messed up sometimes.
Lincoln sniffed, and stop hugging Tabby.
Lincoln: Thanks Tab.
Tabby smiles
Tabby: You're welcome luv.
Lincoln looks at his watch which is 1:35 A.M
Lincoln: Oof, ummm... Tabby, I think I need to bring you back to your house.
Tabby looks at her phone.
Tabby: Yeah, thankfully my dad is sleeping right now, when he comes back tired. He would go to sleep.
Lincoln: Okay, ummm... You're ready?
Tabby nodded. Lincoln holds Tabby in a bride holding. Tabby snuggle in his chest. Lincoln, now knowing that Tabby is ready. Lincoln start running all the way to her house. When they got there. Lincoln brought her to her bathroom. Tabby kneel down and immediately puked in the toilet. Lincoln pats in her back. When Tabby finished, she looked up to Lincoln and smiled.
Tabby: (weak) Thanks Linky.
Lincoln smiled and nodded. He kissed Tabby in the cheek, soon he ran back to the S.T.A.R Labs. When he got there, he was in the Cortex, he looks around and see the professor sleeping in the wheelchair. Lincoln went to his room, bring out a blanket, and cover the professor with it.
Lincoln: (quietly) Goodnight Professor.
With that, Lincoln went back to his room and went to sleep.
2 weeks later , 9:24pm
Lincoln is not doing so well lately. Apparently, the evil speedster has been causing destruction in the city, making everyone not trust the Flash at all. Every single time that the Flash saves everyone, everyone always scream for help. Some even attacks him. Lincoln was running around the city, trying to find the other speedster. He checked out every single place. Not a single trace of the yellow men. He's starting to get desperate. He didnt want everyone he knew and love to get hurt or even killed just because some lunatic wants to kill him
Meanwhile, The professor and Chelsea is looking at the computer monitor, the screen shows maps where shows Lincoln's whereabouts while Elias is playing a handheld console. When there's a alert. Elias jumped in fear then checks the alert which is a small robbery. Elias turns on the mic.
Meanwhile with Lincoln, he is sitting up top of a building, eating a cheeseburger and a soda.
Elias: (over the speaker) LINCOLN, THERE'S A SMALL ROBBERY IN A MINIMARKET IN *any name you can think of* STREET!
Lincoln jumped and screamed. He accidentally dropped his cheeseburger and soda into the street, unfortunately it hit a bald business men, which cause a mess. The business men look up to see Flash. He was pissed off. Lincoln look down with a "hehe, my bad..." face.
Lincoln: (embarrassed) My bad!
Lincoln soon runs towards to where the small robbery was. While running, Lincoln turn on his earbuds.
Lincoln:(not amused) Elias, tone down the volume. It was so loud.
Lincoln ran towards to the Mini Market, he gets there and immediately grabbed the robber and brought him to the police care, while the entire world was slowing down, Lincoln grabbed a handcuffs and place it to the criminal then he left running to the roof of an apartment. In the police cars. Two cops look at the criminal in confusion, looking at each other with disbelief. The criminal was baffled as well.
Meanwhile in S.T.A.R Labs, Elias heard what Lincoln said, he made sure the mic volume will be lower. He looks at the professor and the Chelsea, whom both of them had a "really" face and mood. Elias nervously smiled.
Elias: (embarrassed) Heh, silly me. It won't happen again.
The professor: (stern) It better not. Let's make sure no mistake from you won't happen again.
Elias was pretty much getting tired of the professor being petty. The two genius start to argue. Chelsea rolled her eyes as she has to hear a huge argument between the two.
Meanwhile with Lincoln/Flash
The thief was already knocked down and was in the ground, being tied up by a zip tie. He gave the cashier the money. The cashier was hesitant to get the money but then, she saw a man behind Flash. Lincoln sees this and was confused.
Flash: (confused) Are you okay?
The cashier shakily pointed at what was behind the teen. Lincoln slowly turned around to see the yellow man. Lincoln was started to gett angry, while the yellow speedster looked at him with a smug face.
Flash: (angry) YOU!
The man was chuckling as he started to run off. Lincoln who was getting tired of being framed and getting his friends being targeted, ran towards him. They both ran around the city, into buildings and went to the roofs. They were running in the streets when the evil speedster turned around towards him and punched Lincoln in the face, the white hair teen flew. The yellow man ran towards him and catch him. He then threw him to the windows of a restaurant. Everyone who was in the restaurant got up and backed away after the crash happened. Lincoln rolled, got up and was getting ready, the speedsters started to clash in the restaurant, Lincoln started to use his martial arts fighting skills, he karate chop the yellow man in the forehead many times. The speedsters then punched in his face, then kicked him in the stomach. Lincoln fell down, groaning as it took a lot of his air. He then got up and uppercut him, causing the evil man to flew up and then down, crashing at many bottles of wines. This didn't end there. Lincoln ran towards him and started to brutally punched the man in the face repeatedly. The man was starting to bleed. All of the suddenly, the white hair teen got punched in the middle of his face, he got up and started to touch his nose, he sees his hand to show blood. He broke his nose. The man got up and started to run away. The teen looked around to see everyone in shocked, couldn't believe that this was happening. Lincoln ran towards to a glass of cup and a spoon. He hit it to get everyone attention.
Lincoln: (pain) Ummm... You guys might want to go to your home right now as this might not end well.
Lincoln ran around the city to check for the villainous speedster, he taps his earbuds.
Meanwhile:
Chelsea was scrolling down her phone, she was trying to ignore the argument that Elias and Professor Roberts were having. It was getting extremely that at one point, Chelsea had to separate them before both were going fight. Now it's not as heated as it was, but they were still arguing.
Elias: (Angry) I made one mistake, alright. Get over it.
Prof. Roberts: (angry) If that mistake didn't happen, Lincoln's weakness wouldn't be exposed, now many evil metahumans will try to use his weakness against him.
Chelsea looked at the map, which shows two dots in the maps, one of them was yellow and it was coming towards to S.T.A.R Labs. Finally the argument had ended when...
Lincoln: (in the speaker) Guys, do you see anything in the map that is going extremely fast, Because the yellow man has returned and is on the run.
All three of them looked at the map which shows the yellow dot inside of S.T.A.R Labs. Elias turned the mic on.
Elias: HE'S IN S.T.A.R LABS, COME HERE QUICK!!!
Meanwhile with Lincoln:
Lincoln freaked out when he heard that, he immediately ran towards to the facility. He sees a yellow man standing in front of him. Lincoln then spear the man, the spear had a lot of speed force in it. The teen got up and looked down. The man was knocked out, he grabbed him and brought him to the S.T.A.R Labs Metahuman Prison, put him in the unbreakable cell and closed it. He took a breather. He walked towards to the cortex. He sees Chelsea, Elias and Professor Roberts looking at him. Chelsea immediately ran towards him and hugged him.
Chelsea: (worried) Are you okay?
Lincoln wasn't able to answer as Chelsea dragged him to the hospital bed. He was laying down, with Chelsea bandaging the nose and healing it, so it won't swelled. Elias, wheeling the professor, walk towards him.
Prof. Roberts: Seems like you finally captured the yellow speedster. First things first, we need to know his identity. Lincoln's nose was finally bandaged up, and sat up.
Lincoln: alright let's go.
The group walked towards to the Particle Accelerator which was now a metahuman prison. Elias looked at a small screen in the wall and choose the cell that the yellow man was in. The cell opened, the man was laying down. Lincoln walked towards to the unconscious speedster. He kneeled down and set up the yellow man to sitting position, which was sitting against the cell wall. He took of his mask to reveal the face. The yellow man was white, he haded blue eyes which was shocking to him as with his mask, his eyes was black and red pupils. His hair was a blonde bowl haircut. He looks to be in his late 30's. Lincoln got up, Elias pulled out his tablet and took a photo of the villainous speedster.
Chelsea: (confused) What are you doing, Eli?
Elias was looking something in the tablet.
Elias: I'm trying to find to see if any database can match him. But it seems like there's not data on him, no identity in him. Which is weird because this would have know anyone.
All three of them looked at Elias. The young man showed everyone at the tablet to prove it.
Lincoln: Looks like we need know his identity by talking him.
An hour later
Lincoln was in the Cortex, sitting with his legs in the table. Fresh from the shower. He was looking at a movie in a computer. He was bored. Soon his phone ringed, he checks to see that it was Tabby. He accepted the call and put his phone on his ears.
Lincoln: Hey sweetie.
Tabby: (in the phone) Hello luv. I was wondering if I can go on a date in "CC Jitters"
Lincoln smiled
Lincoln: I would love to.
Tabby: Well, then. I will get ready. See ya.
Lincoln: See you later
Lincoln ended the call. He gets up. He runs towards to his room. He checked himself in a mirror. He forgot that he had a broken nose, bandaged up. He sighed. He can't just cancelled the date. He went to his drawer, he brought out his orange long sleeve shirt and black pants. He wore it, he then put on his black sneakers, and put on his black hat. Lincoln ran towards to Tabby's house. He was in front of the door. Tabby opened the door to see Lincoln looking good but then she saw the broken nose.
Tabby: (worried) Bloody hell, Are you okay luv?
Lincoln: Yep, just got a broken nose, it will heal up in an hour trust me, and wow, your outfit looks great
Tabby wore the same outfit from the musical club day. Tabby tip toes to kiss Lincoln in the lips.
Lincoln: Let's go
Lincoln and Tabby hold hands, walking towards to the cafe. They enter, went to the cashier and order what they wanted. Lincoln paid everything despite Tabby wanted to pay for herself. They both sat in a table. The cafe was empty with the cashier only there, which isnt surprising considering it was the night. Tabby looked at Lincoln.
Tabby: So, how's it going?
30 minutes of Lincoln talking about his week and how it wasn't good, then started to talk to how he fought with the yellow man and was able to capture him. Lincoln was telling her about the situation while Tabby was listening and drinking coffee.
Tabby: (Amazed) So what are you going to do now?
Lincoln: well, at first we were trying to identify him, but Elias was unable to verify his identity. So, when he wakes up, I will question him and see if I get something from him.
Tabby: Oh ok, but what will you do after that, luv?
Lincoln: Just like any other evil metahumans who are in the jail, he will be there for a long time until we will able to take out the energy from them.
Before They were able to finish drinking, Lincoln got a phone call. Lincoln picked up the phone.
Lincoln: Hello?
Chelsea: Linky! Where are you?! Come here, he's awake!
Lincoln: Wait really!? Okay, I'm coming.
Chelsea ended the phone call. Tabby looked at Lincoln with confusion. She noticed the expression from Lincoln
Tabby: (confused) Lincoln, what wrong?
The white hair teen looked at her.
Lincoln: He woke up. I need to go.
They both got up. They left the cafe.
Lincoln: Do you want me to drop you off in your house?
Tabby: No, I want to be with you. I can see the tense in your face. I want to be their for support luv.
Lincoln didn't really want his girlfriend to be there, but he had no choice.
Lincoln: (reluctant) Okay, let's go to an alley to make sure no one sees us.
Tabby nodded. Both of them walk to an alley, Lincoln checks to see that no one was there. Lincoln grabbed Tabby in a bride hold. He make sure that Tabby was ready. Tabby then snuggle in his chest, showing that she's ready. Lincoln ran to S.T.A.R Labs, when they got there, they were in the cortex. Lincoln carefully let go. Tabby was gagging but then stop, she was getting used to the fast motion. Lincoln looked around to see Chelsea walking towards him
Chelsea: Hi Tabby.
Tabby: Hey, how are you mate?
Chelsea: Doing great.
Lincoln: Where's Elias and Professor Roberts?
Chelsea: They are both in the entrance, they are waiting for you.
Lincoln nodded, and ran to the entrance of the particle accelerator. Elias was looking at his phone while the professor was in his wheelchair, looking around the place. Lincoln walked into.
Lincoln: Okay I'm ready, Elias. Open the cell.
Elias nodded and select the cell. Lincoln was taking a breath. Tabby and Chelsea walk into the room. They see Lincoln infront of the entrance door. Soon it was opening. Lincoln sees the man, smirking at him. The teen wants to just punch him.
???: Hello Lincoln.
Lincoln was shocked.
Lincoln: You know my name?
???: Yes, I know who and what you are. You're Lincoln Marie Loud, age 15, 5'11 tall, Born in Royal Woods, Michigan, March 17, 2005, the only son of the loud family, run away in S.T.A.R Labs, worked on the particle accelerator which made you turn into Central City's speedster hero, I know who you are. You're the Flash.
Everyone except for the man was shocked that he knew a lot about him.
Lincoln: (shocked, weirded out) Okay, I want to know who you are, how do you know who I am, and what do you want from me.
???: If you insist. My name is Eobard Thawne, I'm a scientist in 2642, I'm 38 years old, I was trying to see what made you become the Flash, I was fascinated of you. I studied about the speed force, soon I was a big fan of you, unfortunately, I wasn't getting anywhere until I saw a crash site, it seems like a rocket from the 21 century. I went inside to see what's inside of the rocket. I saw your suit and was able to get the speed force from your suit onto me. I became a speed force metahuman. What did I want from you? Well, here a story. Once I became a speedster, I went back to time from the speed force and into a cosmic tredmill. I went back to time to 2026. The flash was 21 years old. I wanted to be like you, (angry) I WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE YOU! I wanted to see if you can help me to be a flash for my time. However, you found out that I was endangering lives to be a hero to you. You said no. I went back to 2642. I was sad, then I went to the flash museum. I saw a new piece of an old artifacts. It was about me, being your worst enemy. I discovered that You weredestined to kill me before you ever met me. Soon, me and the flash soon fought each other. Every single time. I always lose and end up getting killed, thankfully. The speed force that i had prevents me from permanently being dead. I'm your worst enemy, I'm Reverse Flash
Everyone was shocked.
Lincoln: (angry) You hate me, because you couldn't be me?!
Reverse Flash: (Angry) I BECAME BETTER THAN YOU!!!
Lincoln jumped. Didn't expected that loud outbursts.
Lincoln: Then why don't you stop me from being the Flash?
Eobard chuckled
Reverse Flash: If you're not the Flash, then I would be erased from the existence. You being the flash is what makes me alive. So what do I do, I make sure you life was a living hell. Many times after i died, I do something so that you experience tragedy and suffering so you can become The Flash. Sometimes I destroyed your comic books, maybe bully you when you were a kid, heck once before I killed your mom. I make sure your life was a nightmare, in many timelines I created.
Everyone gasped.
Tabby: (Angry) What a wanker!
Lincoln: WHAT!? YOU DISGUST ME!
The craze ex-scientist was smirking.
Lincoln: (realization) Wait... No. You didn't.
Reverse Flash: Oh yeah. Remember when your sporty sister, Lynn lost due to a unexpected speed increase of the ball, too fast for her to hit it, losing the game for the team. Then she came to you and yelling at you and accused you of being bad luck.
Lincoln started to tear up.
Reverse Flash: IT WAS ME, LINCOLN! I WAS THE ONE WHO MADE SURE THAT YOUR SISTER LOSE TO MAKE YOUR GET KICKED!
Eobard was laughing at him. Lincoln was silent. Everyone was staring at him. They were concerned of Lincoln's mindset. Tabby walked towards to Lincoln.
Tabby: (concerned) Linky?
Lincoln then started to have his body full with the speed force. He was angry, furious. He hit the glass panel.
Lincoln: (angry) IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!
Everyone jumped as they weren't expecting it. The anger from Lincoln was out of character. Reverse Flash wasn't scared at all, if anything he was enjoying.
Reverse Flash: Well then, let's begin.
Everyone looked at the cell to see that Eobard was fading away. Everyone was shocked. Until Lincoln was snatched from everyone and was dragged fast from Reverse Flash. Lincoln punched him in the jaw which cause him to be let go. They were in the cortex. Thet started to brawl. Lincoln ran towards him and punched him in the face which was blocked the evil speedster. He grabbed the fist and head butting Lincoln, causing him to fall down. Lincoln got up quickly and did a round house kick in the heat which made Reverse Flash to fly up and fell on the computers. Reverse flash then jumped at him and did a hurricarana on Lincoln. The teen was on the ground when the Reverse Flash started to brutally punched him in the face, left and right. Lincoln bleeding badly. The professor was wheeling into the cortex with a tranquilizer gun. He tried to shoot it at the man but unfortunately... The Reverse Flash grabbed the dart. The shot was unsuccessful. Eobard looked at the dart. He then looked at the professor with a murderous smirk.
Reverse Flash: Let's go for a run!
Reverse Flash grabbed the professor and ran away. Lincoln got up, wiping blood. When he sees the professor wheelchair empty. He knew something went wrong. He grabbed his suit and left S.T.A.R Labs, he checks to see that both of them were in the roof. He ran up, he sees Reverse Flash, grabbing Professor Roberts from the coat on the ledge. His hand was phasing
Lincoln: (Tearing up) PLEASE LET HIM GO, JUST GET ME! JUST DONT HURT HIM!
The evil speedster smiled
Reverse Flash: We aren't done, but this will be the beginning of the end.
He then shoved his hand into the professor heart. Shredding it into pieces.
Lincoln: (Crying) NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The Reverse Flash dropped him to the his doom, Lincoln ran towards to the professor trying to save him while Reverse Flash ran away. Before Professor Roberts hit the ground he was caught by Lincoln. The white hair teen then safely put him the ground. He tried to check his pulse but he couldn't hear it. Lincoln was crying. Tabby, Chelsea, and Elias looked at his tablet to see the event that happened. Chelsea and Elias was tearing up while Tabby was expressing concern and shocked.
Lincoln: (crying) Don't worry professor, we will save you.
Lincoln grabbed him in a bride hold and brought him inside of the S.T.A.R City.
