Chapter 10: The Return Part 2

Previously on "A New Perception"

"His name is Cobalt Blue. We don't know who is really is just that he's fast, faster than you dad" We talk about it for hours before we realize the time and all went to bed. We were woken up by the noise of stuff breaking in the living room and Barry ran us there to see Nora and Thomas fighting someone who has blue lightning, darker than Zoom but still blue. Barry runs in and started to fight him as well. They all stop fighting and are just looking at each other.

"Ah the Tornado Twins, heard a lot about you from my future self. You're not needed to preserve the timeline, so I guess it's your unlikely day" Cobalt Blue taunted. Before he could make his move I shot him with an ice shard which knocked his mask off. He looked back up at us.

"Eddie?!"

And now the continuation…

"Who the hell is Eddie?" He said while running off. He left his mask but no one moved for at least a minute trying to process what just happened.

"Was it just me or was that…" Barry asked

"Yeah, that was Eddie"

"Wait, Uncle Eddie's Cobalt Blue?"

"Maybe not, that could be another power of his, to look like another person"

"We should get to STAR Labs and figure this out" Barry suggested

"Good idea, we should grab Cisco as well"

"We shouldn't bother him with it now it's quite late, we'll let him know tomorrow"

"Okay" He picked me up and we ran to STAR Labs.

Barry's POV

"Cait, how did Eddie die?"

"He died when we tried to get your speed back. He was hit with the wave of dark matter and straight up disappeared. What if Eddie was somehow ended up in the speed force?"

"Maybe he did. When I was in the speed force I saw Eddie but I thought it was just a persona that the speed force was using to communicate with me" We started to discuss how Eddie could still be alive but before we could come up with a reason the alarm went off.

"Eddie he's… outside STAR Labs" Caitlin informed us. I ran out and followed by Nora and Thomas.

"Barr, what's going on? Why can't I remember anything from the past few months? I can't remem… ahhh!" He screamed. "How can he keep fighting me? He's clearly lost so why put up a fight. Ah, Flash, you should follow in that lesson" He started to run towards us but before we could react Thomas froze the ground in front of us causing Eddie to stop. "Don't worry, I'll be back" He ran off and we ran back to the Cortex.

"Barry we need Cisco to vibe the mask. It's the only way we can continue"

"Cait… Okay. I'll give Cisco a call" I pick up my phone and dialed Cisco's number.

"Barry? Why exactly are you called me in the middle of the night?" Cisco asked

"We need you at STAR Labs" He sighed and I see a breach open up in the Cortex. Cisco walked out still in his pajamas.

"Why exactly do you need me?"

"We need you to vibe this mask"

"And why couldn't this wait until tomorrow?"

"Because the person who used to own this just attacked us and… that person is Eddie" I see his face turn to confused instantly.

"Eddie? Barry he died"

"That's what we are trying to figure out" Cisco picked up the mask and proceeded to vibe it.

"Cisco what did you see?"

"I saw Eddie alive talking to himself"

"So we know that it is Eddie but why would he attack us? We're his friends." Caitlin asked

"What if it's a split personality?" I suggested. We went on talking for a bit until Nora came up with an idea.

"Firestorm" Nora suggested

"What about them?" I asked

"What if this works like Firestorm and not like say, Trajectory."

"Yeah that does make kinda make sense, the talking as if nothing has happened, then turning hostile in an instant"

"So Eddie is still in that, monster?" Caitlin asked

I nodded and replied with "And it's our job to find a way to get Eddie back"

"Well now that I solved your ghost problem. I'm going back to bed" Cisco said as he opened a breach and walked into it.

"Maybe that's not that bad of an idea" I said as I picked up Caitlin and we all ran back home.

The Morning

I woke up at 10:30, luckily it's the weekend. I roll over to see Caitlin still sleeping.

"You know I can feel you watching me" Caitlin mumbled while rolling over. I smiled and then kissed her. We get out of bed and I go make all of us some breakfast while Caitlin is taking a shower.

"Hey. Thomas. Wake up" I whisper.

He wakes up and says "Five more minutes Dad, please"

"Fine but when you do, go wake up your sister" He falls back asleep and I start to make breakfast. It's been five minutes so I walk over to Thomas again and I throw a pillow at him.

"Fine" He sighed. He got up and walked over to Nora's room and woke her up. I hear her yelling at him to let her sleep since she's tired and came stopping out of her room.

"Dad he's not letting me sleep" Nora yelled

"I know. I told him to wake you" I said starting to chuckle.

"What's so funny?" She asked

"You look just like your mother when you're mad" I finish making breakfast around the same time Caitlin finished her shower. We all ate and headed to STAR Labs. We walked into the Cortex and saw Cisco, Harry and another Harrison Wells.

"Wondered when you four would show up" Cisco remarked "Anyways this is HR Wells, from Earth-19" He shook all our hands and greeted us but mentioned that he was single while shaking Nora's hand.

"HR… that's Barry's daughter… from the future" Cisco hesitated to say.

"Cisco have you found anything on Eddie?" I asked

"Wait Eddie? Didn't he die when we got your speed back?" Harry asked

"Yeah but he's not himself"

"We think he's in a state just like Firestorm" Caitlin said

"So how do we save him?"

"We could use the quantum splicer. It worked on Ronnie and Professor Stein"

"He probably won't volunteer to put it on" Harry remarked

"Then we will have to see who's the fastest man alive" I added

Cisco's POV

"So Cisco, anything?" Barry asked

"No, nothing. Not even a trace of an unusual amount of static electricity"

"Okay I'll see if I can later but for now I have some questions for you two" I said pointing at Nora and Thomas

"Okay?" They both said in unison

"H.R. this could be a way for you to learn a bit about us. So how did you two get here?" I asked

"About twenty eight years from now, all of team flash decided to send us back in time to save Dad. You, our aunt, and your son opened a breach through time. You guys had to do it since when Dad created Flashpoint, had affected every speedster in a way that we couldn't travel through time. We can only travel through time if we ran at the speed of light" Thomas informed us

"And you said that you two are nicknamed Tornado Twins, What are you when you aren't together?"

"Well after you were killed Dad, I took on the roll of The Flash" Nora said

"And I took on the mantle of Frostbite. A version of your alias from the future mom" Thomas said.

"What is my alias from the future?"

"Frost"

"Kinda like it. Also there was something that I wanted to ask you two about. When I took blood samples of you two I found that Thomas' blood was fine but Nora, yours had an odd DNA marker on it"

"It was a side effect when we were born" We all looked puzzled "When we were born I had an unusual effect of having Frost and Speed DNA. Because Thomas was technically born before me…" She said before being cut off.

"Technically? I was born a whole ten minutes before you" Thomas remarked

"Anyways, because he was born first he didn't have this problem but because of this problem my cells mutated in a way where I run faster than Tommy but I don't have any powers related to mom"

"How many times do I have to tell you Nora, no one calls me Tommy anymore" I can see she just rolls her eyes to the comment.

"So what's the fastest you've ran?" Barry asked

"It was about Mach 40.6, or about thirty thousand miles per hour while, Tommy, has only ran up two Mach 26.3"

"So maybe if we start to work on a cure now we will be able to fix that mutated gene when you two are born. Speaking of which when were you two born?" Caitlin suggested.

"We were born in 2018. But Mom if you do it you might be hurt. Tommy might be hurt. There is no way to know the consequences" We debated on the subject for a while before the Metahuman alarm activated. I ran over to the computer.

Barry's POV

"I'm detecting a speedster outside STAR Labs. It's most likely Eddie so be prepared this time" I run outside to be greeted by a young woman in what I could tell her twenties.

"What do you want?" I asked. Shortly after Nora and Thomas arrived.

"I made a huge mistake and the only person who can help me is you"

"Why me?" She takes off her mask.

"Because I'm your daughter Nora from the future"

To be continued...

A/N: From this point on I will be updating this story every week on Wednesday. The new chapters will also be a lot longer than they have been. So expect chapters ranging from 2,500 words to 3,500 words. Also I will be showing sneak peaks for the upcoming chapter and updates that I will be doing on previous chapters on my twitter. And yes I know it's kinda confusing that another future child of Barry's is called Nora but I will be explaining it in the next chapter.
