Today was sort of an offday for Team Flash, since there hadn't been any serious crimes that needed to be handled, so the team was kind of taking it easy. Jesse was at Hudson University for finals week, Ralph was working on a case to expose to Mayor Bellows as the criminal he is, Joe was at CCPD for his normal crime fighting job, Cecille was out of town visiting her daughter and the rest of Team Flash was gathered at the Nexus, all of them doing different things.

Cisco and Caitlin were in Cisco's lab and Barry had noticed how the security cameras in it had been disabled, so he was quickly able to determine what they were doing when they should be working, but honestly, as long as they weren't disrupting anyone, he saw no need to interrupt them, especially since he did not need Frost on his ass about it, as he stood in the command center in the Nexus, checking the city's surveillance system for any signs of real trouble and Iris was in the training room with Allegra, since they'd decided that it was time to start her real training, since while she'd proven she knew how to use her powers, they could use some refinement.

Anyways, Barry was currently working in the cortex of the Nexus when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Barry Allen, we need to speak." Mar Novu said as Barry whirled around to face him.

"What do you want? Literally every time you show up, bad things happen." Barry complained.

"I am aware of that, but there is a matter we must discuss." Novu said.

"Let me guess, the Anti Monitor is alive." Barry said, not at all surprised.

"You don't seem as surprised as I thought you would be." Novu said and Barry shrugged.

"If Oliver could survive being at Ground Zero of the big bang, I don't see why the anti monitor couldn't survive it too." Barry said.

"Fair enough. Fortunately, you bought us some time." Novu said.

"What do you mean? Oliver recovered instantly." Barry asked.

"Only because he had a doppelganger in this new universe to transfer his consciousness into, as all you paragons did. Mobius did not, therefore, he is still healing since while he survived the battle, just as Oliver Queen was, he was severely injured and weakened. He has spent the past few millennia recovering in the anti matter universe and he is still not yet ready to attack." Novu said.

"So why are you here?" Barry asked.

"Because of a disturbing discovery I have made in my plans to prevent Mobius from growing as strong as he did before." Novu said.

"I'm listening." Barry said.

"I've discovered how you have not been able to track the Reverse Flash. It would appear that your opposite has joined forces with mine." Novu said, much to Barry's shock.

"That son of a bitch. But then again, that's not surprising considering in the original crisis, Thawne was the one leading the army of shadow demons. But I can't believe the Anti Monitor would partner with him." Barry said.

"He didn't. He recruited Thawne to be his general." Novu said.

"Well, now I know where he is, what do I do now?" Barry asked.

"As frustrating as it may be, there is nothing you can do until he returns to this universe, since the barrier between this universe and the antimatter universe is too strong for a normal breach to get through. It would take an immense amount of power to get through and that barrier is the only reason we have time to find a solution." Novu said.

"How did Thawne get through the barrier?" Barry asked.

"Mobius was able to weaken it enough to let him through, though doing so cost him precious energy. It will take longer for him to recover and build enough energy to bring the barrier down." Novu said.

"Okay, is there anything else you need to tell me?" Barry asked.

"Actually yes. The first thing is that you cannot tell anyone aside from your team about this. I will inform the other paragons when the time is right for them to know." Novu said and Barry nodded in understanding.

"What else?" Barry asked.

"One more thing, though this might be something you have mixed feelings about." Novu said.

"And that would be?" Barry asked.

"When I found the new book of destiny and tome of the guardians of this new universe, I learned of a change made to the paragons. A new individual has become the paragon of truth." Novu said.

"Who is it?" Barry asked.

"A man who has devoted his life to pursuing and exposing the truth. Even though he has gone about it in strange and incorrect ways." Novu said.

"Wait, you don't mean?" Barry asked as Novu waved his hand and a familiar person appeared.

"Say hello to the new Paragon of truth." Novu said.

"Allen." Harrison Nash Wells said.

"Nash you son of a bitch. You're the reason the Anti Monitor is a threat in the first place." Barry said angrily.

"I know. And I know that there's nothing I can say to justify what I did, but maybe this is how I serve my penance for it." Nash said as Barry took a deep breath.

"You're lucky I believe in second chances. But if you screw up again, there will not be a third. You caused the deaths of trillions of innocent lives. You can never fully make up for it." Barry said and Nash sighed.

"I know. But please, let me try. Let me try to fix what I broke." Nash said.

"You can never fix it, the damage is done. But I will give you a chance to keep it from happening again. Besides, Team Flash is always at it's best when we have a Harrison Wells to back us up. Just don't blow it. Now come on, we need to let the team know about this. And just to be clear, you are not working alone anymore, you are part of a team." Barry said.

"That is part of why I am bringing him here now. In order to prevent Mobius from succeeding, the paragons need to be able to work together in sync, a skill that Nash clearly needs help refining." Novu said.

"On that we agree. Thank you for the warning and I promise we will wait until you bring us together to tell the other teams." Barry said and Novu nodded as he disappeared.

"Don't make me regret giving you another chance. Because there are people who are a lot less forgiving than I am who'd love to get their hands on you and I'm probably the only person who can protect you from them. Now come on, let's go tell the team you're back and try to keep them from killing you." Barry said as he dragged Nash out of the cortex before he could respond.
