Chapter One

A young woman in her twenties with strawberry blonde hair was running on a university campus, heading to the academic building. She was wearing a yellow dress that just reached her knees with a black belt, a black jacket, and black boots. Her sapphire blue eyes shifted their attention to a young man, also in his twenties. He joined her with a grin on his face. "Liz, you can run faster than that. Why don't you speed it up a bit?" He said, playfully.

"Harold, you know better than that. I don't run too fast out of costume, so people won't find out about my speed." She replied as she reached the door. "I would only do it in an emergency." She said as she reached for the door knob.

"Always so serious. You really need some fun in your life, Cos." Harold said as he stopped at the door with her. He beat her in opening the door and held it open for her.

"You may be right, but there is a fine line between fun and just plain recklessness with your idea of fun." She said while she walked into the building. "I'll see you later, my dear cousin." She said with a slight smile.

"Is it really?" He said with a smirk while he walked into the building behind her. "However, you do need to speed up a little bit if you don't want to be late." He said while he waved his hand and walked towards his class in the opposite direction.

Even though she majored in Physics, she was taking a forensic psychology class and an abnormal psychology class as electives because of Zoom. He has been causing trouble for her family for years, and he was clearly unstable. His reign of terror started when he tried to kill her great grandfather, Barry Allen. He wanted to kill all the speedsters, so he would be the only one. However, his twisted schemes became more twisted when he became obsessed with Jen Ognats, Barry's granddaughter and Liz's mother. He decided that he would take her as his bride because she was a pretty woman with the Speed Force, but she had no interest in him in that way. She had fallen in love with Eobard Thawne (Reverse Flash), which caused Zoom to fall deeper into madness.

Zoom devised a plan to cause Eobard and Barry to have a fallen out, thus causing a wedge between Jen and Eobard, but Jen figured it out and stopped Eobard from doing the worst mistake of his life, killing Barry's parents, Henry and Nora Allen. Zoom killed Eobard's grandma Agnes and planted evidence that pointed to Barry. He even planted evidence that Barry caused the accident that killed Eobard's parents, Elliot and Julia Thawne. The fake evidence was so convincing that Eobard believed it. He became so enraged that he decided to kill Barry's parents in revenge, and he carefully planned it. He would go back in time and kill them when Barry was just a little boy, so he could grow up without his parents like he did. Yes, he was grateful to his paternal grandparents for taking him in and raising him as their own, but he loved his parents as well. Just when he was about to go back, Jen stopped him, explaining that Barry did not kill his family members and he was just playing into Zoom's hands. He really felt like a fool, thinking that Barry could have done such a thing, and he was grateful that Jen did not gave up looking for the truth.

When Zoom realized that he could never have her, he made it his mission to make the Allen Family's life a living Hell. He always caused trouble during a Holiday or when they were in the middle of a case, so they never would have any peace. Unfortunately, his attention shifted to Liz when he first saw her on the university campus without anyone knowing it. She was a pretty girl with both the Speed Force and Negative Speed Force. She was a better catch than her mother, so he decided to take her as his bride. He could definitely could kill two birds with one stone. He could get the perfect mate and have his revenge on the Allens. They definitely would be dismayed when their precious Liz would be married to him and making love to him. He just needed to figure out how he was going to get his hands on her.

Zoom knew that they had not found out who he really was yet, so he could use that to his advantage. He could approach her as his secret identity and earn her trust that way. He just needed to find an excuse to cross her path and start a conversation. He had watched her for hours every day to find a good opportunity, and he started to grin when he found one.
