Taster 1 harvest versus reverse flash
Ahh and with you been a time remnant and having them throughout all of time I can drain you and consume each and every version and copy of yours. Your stain will vanish say your goodbyes now thawne for soon you will just be a distant easily forgotten vague memory..
Thawnes red eyes pulsed with negative speed force anger fury and fear. Dread began to claw it way throughout his system and began to flood his mind.
Dark crystal green eyes bore into his fading red ones as a dark ominous smile graced the younger mans face as Damien slowly walked towards them a casual look in his eyes and a average everyday plain blank visage visible to the world but thawne saw past that saw deeper and underneath that.
Hmm do you understand now eobard?
Why? If you had this child how did you fail? How did you lose against queen and his band of merry do gooder's .
Oh yes that..well you see
A snicker cut Damien off and thawne looked to the one that had him pinned
Sorry..it just you telling me the man out of time the so called fastest man alive cant tell when he is talking to alternative dimensional counterparts? We are not the us's of this earth or verse thawne…
Yes what my young apprentice said I am not the Damien of this verse nor the one that you had dealings with thus I don't fear you or your abilities why would I when I have your counter and neutralizer handy Damien darkh gestured to his apprentice with a dark smile

A cold and dark ominous wind picked up as the sky grew dark and forboding …time for yet another reckoning ..if you must know or call me something n your final moments call me harvest
Taster 2 warrior versus blood hive

Wide fearful eyes looked up to the ''towering'' being before him,one who was wreathed in shadows death and power tremendous
Taster 3 umbra & Blackstar cleanse the star
Dark eyes framed by a somewhat pretty angular face gazed out of the metropolis before them it was still hard for her to come to grips with seeing it the city she knew the city she watched slowly fall into the abyss the city her father gave his life to protect safeguard and build up. Crumble to ash and dust and be once more consumed by villainy corruption and tainted. Her dark blonde hair framed her face as she glared out of her window her hearing just barely picking up the calls for help and the sounds of the last few good upholders of the law dying or been held back.
She stiffened briefly before a pair of arms encircled her waist a scent that at one point annoyed her and angered her greatly now doing very much the opposite…well it still annoyed her but that was more to do with it owner and source then the scent itself.
Starling city..pre arrow pre undertaking pre every truly bad thing that happened to it.
Pre dad dying.
Yep. So whats on your mind my Blackstar?
Just want to go out there. To show all those who constantly destroy hope light and goodness show them how it feels to be crushed and stepped on to be shot, stabbed. Run over ,trampled.
Normally I would say vengeance isn't the way..but this is far from normal the situation actually calls for it. Your father was a beacon even when he didn't want to be or he thought other wise. He left this city to phonies, false hero. Those who helped and aid in the destructon we know. He left you and will in the hands of people he shouldn't of loved or trusted. Time and again they proved they weren't worthy yet he kept trusting them. We have lost much my Blackstar. But now we have a chance to change all that. To do what your father did to work with him yet not to be heroes just not the type they want or expect us to be. We will be beacons symbols of hope, light and
And Blackstar aka mia queen looked up her eyes lightly misty as her hands gripped those around her waist tightly
And justice , retribution, revenge, that miracles can happen that there are people out there who will fight no matter what.
So what will we do first my sweet umbra? She asked looking back over the city as he felt her boyfriends grip tighten slightly his reflection briefly visible before his suit manifested shortly followed by her own newly modified one. His reflection were starting beyond precious and flawless emerald green that held a darkened light to them and were like the abyss stare into them long enough and you will be both consumed by it and your very soul pierced by locks of raven and obsidian framed his face streaks of dull dark blue and a reddish auburn trailed down the sides and atop his head. Scars multiple layers worth covered his face some close to 2 decades old others as recent as 5 months- 5 years.
Her suit was a nod to her father yet slightly more armoured and of course more designed for a female form. That and it was more a golden bronze then green. Sure the green was still there it was just closer to jungle and leaf green to blend better with the gold and bronze. Strapped to her back were two sheaths for her swords a larger quiver with two small conveyor belt that ringed the bottom of her quiver and housed trick and special arrow heads that could attach or connected to her arrows as needed. She had multiple belts crisscrossing her body each one having a purpose or supporting something attached to her suit or keeping her suit held together.
Along her right arm was a hawking like cover/armour that went from her shoulder to her wrist beneath it and embed through out were links of chainmail and other metals to improve the protection the hawking gear gave her. From her crease of her elbow to just past her wrist was a vambrace gauntlet that had many tricks and surprises built in that she could switch out by using one of the many bags and accessories she had on her person.
Her left arm didn't have the hawking gear was more steam line yet no less armoured or protected along the outer side of her arm were small flechette and small blades. Similar to her right arm was a gauntlet-vambrace this one more suited to projectiles and releasing smoke and assorted gases or their bomb equivalent. Around her neck up was a face covering that protected her nose down from airborne hazards and concealed her face. Over her eyes were polarised and tech enhanced domino mask that housed many secrets and apps. It also turned her dark blonde hair into waves of black with silver streaks to further conceal her identity encase she had her hood down and someone obtained a hair sample.
Her chest was a golden polished bronze with yellowish hue and tint dark brown belts and straps keeping the armour and metallic coverings to her suit. Her pants were more a canopy forest green with a slight brownish tint. Her knee length boots were mostly black with bronze and yellow arrows pointing downwards the sole and in tread was dark green. Her ''skirt'' only covered her sides and her back was open at the front was made in the same material as the hawking padding over it was her second and third quiver and third, fourth and fifth sheath. Bandolier also covered her body thighs and hips.
She looked into the reflection and what was shadowing her was something that would give even the most hardened and twisted serial killers nightmares. Whisp of smoke ash and black flames dripped off and broke away from her lovers suit. Unlike her codename not meshing well with her suit colour scheme her loves was completely different it fit..a little to well.
Every thing was in the black or dark end of the colour spectrum or board. Midnight and dark sea blues. Dark violets and purples. Shadowy and condensed forest greens the type that gets little to no sunlight the type where the predators lurk and prefer to live. The place were monsters and demons hide. And finally blood red so dark it seemed black. Everything was there except ironically the shade of black itself. Everything that looked black or was close to it without actually been said shade was there covering his body shielding it from the light of day. There were ripple patterns covering the entire thing , optical illusions and tricks of the light and reflection occurring and playing out amongst the myriad of dark colours. Then there was the literal cloak of dark flames and shadows clinging to him wrapping him in a cocoon of eternal darkness. Night personified. His face was obscured by shadows and the darkness of the hood yet if he wished all you would see was that which you fear or if one was truly unlucky the face of the reaper. His attire was similar styled and formatted much like hers just his hid more then hers ever could a by-product of him been blessed with magic. While hers had hidden tricks toys and goodies it was no where near the amount he had throughout his suit. Hers were charged by ether his magic thus his magically charged touched or by drawing in the ambient energy of the magical sort around her.
There was of course a difference between their suits besdes style colour and other odds and ends. And it was the weapons and their supply. Unlike herself her umbra didn't have more then two quivers but he did have more than five sheaths. Of course his housed more long daggers and more variation in his sword then her three daos and two jians, sure he had one of each but he preferred more width then length..something she was happy to say he didn't need were it ''counts''.
A fox like grin briefly flash across her face it vanished as she felt his eye on her a knowing gleam within them even if she couldn't see them she knew. She always did.
Slowly the cloak vanished as he lowered his hood the full mask dissolving and fleeing back into the darkness of the suit and it hood.
Something you care to share?
Nope
A slight shake of the head and that half smirk she enjoyed seeing made its presence known
So umbra what is our first task?
Break the wheels.
The circle and tempest?
Among others yes..brickwell
Rebecca murderer
Yes among others. Sampson the counts, we may seem to be starting small but
But it isn't truly small take out the legs the bestial giant cant stand and will come crashing down.
Pretty much yes..this is only the beginning.
She smiled as her suit rippled returing her to her robe and night grown as her eyes pireced through the gloom of night and watched as the dawn slowly crawled into the world.
This is where it begins.
And this is where their end is she heard him whisper and she couldn't agree more
Taster 4
Fiery golden eyes looked out over the city of London said eyes were framed by locks of auburn hair with streaks of silver and black.
Settling in fine are we sweetie?
Yes mom I am…do you know when big brother will be here?
Hmm he said he had something to do but..
All discussion and a mother worrying over her little girl moving and been alone in the ''big'' city ceased as the tv suddenly flicked over interrupting the monotone and bland drivel that is day time soap opera for news bulletin
Breaking news Millennium Bridge has been under attack by strange mysterious black mist and shadows
The fiery golden eyes snapped towards the large tv hanging off the wall. Said eyes narrowed
I guess that explains where my brother is..
Oh I hope he isn't in to much over his head.
A snort was heard.
Mom
Yes..yes I know but a mother can hope cant she?
The owner of the fiery eyes and the daughter to the woman heard over the phone nodded her head and shrugged agreeing with her mother on that point and others she no doubt had.
Yes I supposes a mother can…Morgause knows aunt lily will be hoping beyond hope that her son never gets in over his head or loss his cool…what small minuscule amount of it he has..
