September 23rd - 2014 - Earth 2

I was practically shouting with glee when I got word that Reverb had managed to work with Harry to remotely destabilize the breach. Moments later, as a breach was opened to bring us back to base, I got a shock as Barry showed up right in front of us. Apparently the plan was to bring me back across before the breach fully destabilized, so I quickly said my goodbye's as Ataşehir and Jay made their way back to base while Barry placed his hand on my shoulder and the pair of us sharing speed force energy allowing us to quickly move towards this earth's breaching device. That was until we were suddenly blindsided, throwing me out of superspeed and tripping over myself into a wall past the breach.

"You thought you could fight me?, he who conquered half a dozen earths, your world is one of many, and this is merely a setback." I was in shock because he had Barry by the neck, holding him up in the air like Bane getting ready to break batman's back.

"Ok now you're being an even bigger idiot, I mean you're breaking rule six just now!" He paused looking at me really confused as I held my head in my hands doing my best to look disappointed. It was desperate sure but if he was anything like his actions showed then ego is a huge flaw with him, especially as a fellow eccentric scientist, even if he was evil.

"What are you on about?" he seemed really confused as I continued to casually get closer, looking forlorn at my duplicates obvious lack of competence at this whole evil overlord thing. I mean, he looks scary as all hell, got that powered armor thing, though it's obviously been heavily damaged by explosives and high energy beams. But he's still a version of me somewhere in there.

"Have you not read the handbook? The List of things an evil overlord should never do, read it?" Now I was feeling particularly smug, just in my time here alone I'd noted dozens of infractions and stupid decisions that were classic points of failure that even bond villains could admit had tripped them up.

"Ok, rule six, never gloat over your enemy's predicament before killing them. Your control center, Rule twenty-seven, Never build just one of anything important, always have redundancy. Rule Eleven, make sure you're secure in your superiority and don't leave weaker enemies alive. The list goes on, but these are rookie mistakes, man." I could practically feel the rage coming off him. It was like he'd never actually had someone critique his work before, and quickly became focused on me.

"You call yourself my evil twin, overlord of half a dozen earths, and you keep making noob mistakes like these? More like Bizzaro version. I mean come on, what's next, did you send captured heroines to your bed chambers for nighttime fun? Are you secretly planning to grow a goatee? Ooh! Let me guess, you killed Dante and That's what led Francisco to betray you since you left him alive." In the blink of an eye he'd dropped Barry and was right on top of me, the remaining speed force I'd borrowed giving me just enough reaction speed to sidestep his mechanized grasp before grabbing the machine arm and twisting it off the suit, a cut up and bloodied arm hanging off to the side of the suit's torso.

"So much for being invincible. Even Lex Luthor is a better overlord than you. He became President 'Legally' just to annoy his nemesis, but you? You can't even hit your mirror counterpart." He charged again and this time I felt a bit slower, but I managed to sidestep him and push him forward onto the ground, the machine momentarily disoriented as it tried to correct for the sudden loss of balance and get back up.

"By the way, by capturing me you broke rule three, mirror duplicate, half brother, it doesn't matter. Hell I know I'm a better man than-" suddenly his free arm grabbed me, his speed insane as it seemed to increase with his rage despite his suit being severely damaged.

"Shut up! If I wanted to be critiqued I'd ask for it, and certainly not from you, you miserable sack of-" I began chuckling since I'd gotten him exactly where I wanted him, the machine's power was being sapped by me this time, the damage having prevented it from efficiently stealing my strength and energy. I grabbed the remaining arm and began crushing it as I tightly held it in my grasp, the hand forcibly releasing me once it lost energy due to the damage.

"Now Flash!" In an instant, millions of volts flooded both of us as I began channeling the energy into myself and then into the suit, amplifying it as I pulled on my own reserves. It was painful of course, it always is with these levels of energy, but I could take it. My counterpart however was having a very bad day, his rage echoing throughout the room before the suit suddenly erupted outward throwing me back while he vanished in a bright flash, the torso vanishing with him into what looked like another breach.

"Good night Gracie" I chuckled, smirking before the exhaustion overcame me, Barry quickly running us both back through the breach and onto earth one right as it collapsed closed. Right into a crowd of cheering heroes and metahumans. Moments later I found myself back at S.T.A.R. Labs as Caitlin was prepping to check for any injuries after the experience, Barry helping me climb up onto the medical bed.

"Listen, Barry, Before I suddenly pass out into a coma or something, you need to know something. Those metahumans my duplicate was using, they're refugees. They need help and will likely be a pain in the ass, but they'll need as much assistance as can be given. Just don't go sending them back to their earths yet. The other me, he's not gone, he's just retreated and will likely return. The war isn't over, and they're just as much victims as the rest of us." He seemed to understand as I sighed, I hadn't expected to deal with crap like this so soon, but I was hoping that maybe Reverb and Harry could figure out the breaching device and get me home. Cisco had my vibrational frequency but evil me already managed to open a door there once, potentially the device could do it again.
