Wally needed to talk to someone. About Adrian's death and the bomb. But Barry was on the dominator's ship. Making up his mind, he went to tell Cisco.
"You're saying that Zoom came back and murdered Adrian and there's a bomb that blows up the entire City?" Cisco asked trying not to panic. Wally just nodded. "You re-named him Black Flash cuz he looks like a zombie. Should we change the timeline or let things happen as they should?" Wally asked. "I don't think we have much of a choice here. I'll get Harry from Earth-2 to help us out. You go stay with Adrian and let's keep this between you and I." Cisco ordered, and Wally obliged.

Adrian was exhausted from his training session with Daniel. He didn't know he could learn so much in such little time. Apparently, speedsters can communicate through the speed force. He was about to try that with Barry, but Daniel promised he would take him to his brother. "You said you would take me to my brother. I hope you're a man of your words." Adrian said to Daniel as he folded his arms. Daniel just motioned to a room next to where Barry was being held ignoring Adrian's comment.
Adrian rushed in and opened the cell and performed the speed heal on an unconscious figure. 'He actually learns by watching. I have to keep an eye on him.' Daniel thought to himself as he left the two alone. Adrian's brother stirred a few minutes later and was instantly enveloped in a speed suit as he jumped up abruptly. "You have got to teach me that Bart!" Adrian exclaimed as he gave his brother a hug. It took him a minute to take in his surroundings and returned his brother's hug. "Thank god you're alive, I thought you were erased when I came to check on you. I thought t was a different universe until that speedster told me it was Earth-1, before he beat me up that is."
Adrian tried talking telepathically to his brother and to his surprise, it worked. 'We are in Earth-1 and the speedster is uncle Daniel.' "Yeah he told me before he decided to use me as a battery." Bart replied before he realised Adrian hadn't spoken. "That was so cool! How did you do that?" Bart asked in shock.
"Uncle Daniel. He's been training me." Adrian told his brother as he received a concerning look from him. 'I'm not evil if that's what you're thinking about.' Adrian assured his brother telepathically. Bart shook his head and smiled as he hugged Adrian.

Harry jumped from Cisco's breach with a disappointed look on his face. "Where is he? The me from Earth-19. I'm sure he can help." Harry demanded thinking that's why Cisco called him.
"He's not an actual scientist but he helps out. Not why I brought you here. Wally came back in time to warn us that Adrian gets killed and a nuke is in Central City." Cisco summarized while putting his Vibe gear away.
Harry just wen to the computer and started typing ignoring Cisco completely. "Have you not heard a word I just said?!"
Harry pointed to the monitor showing an Earth with no life on it. "If we can find the bomb, you can take it to the Earth with no life on it. If you can breach something that big that is." Harry said calmly. "Judging by the look on your face it seems you have forgotten how smart I am."
"So, you're not gonna try and stop us from changing the timeline?" Cisco asked suspiciously. "Its not like you will actually listen if I say that." Harry replied as he put his hands on his head. "I'm going to work on something that'll amplify your powers to help you breach an object of that magnitude while you try to find the bomb." Harry ordered. Cisco complied and went to work.
Meanwhile, Wally was with Adrian playing games at Joe's house. "I beat you again Wally, you owe me big belly burger now." Adrian mocked Wally who flailed his arms in frustration. "I don't know how, but you're cheating."
"No luck, all skill." Adrian chuckled, but he noticed something was not quite right. Wally received a text from Cisco.
We figured out a way to get rid of a bomb.
"I'm gonna check with the team and see if they need help." Wally said awkwardly after checking his phone. "You still owe me big belly burger." Adrian reminded Wally as they shook hands. 'Yep something's definitely not right.' Adrian thought to himself as he prepared to go to the hangar.
He got there a few minutes later at normal speed and everyone seemed a bit down. He went over to where team Flash was and asked what happened.
"Barry turned himself over to the dominators. They said either he gives himself up or they drop a meta-bomb that kills 2 million people." Harry summarized. "Okay so what's the plan to get him back?" Adrian asked thinking he would get to prove himself.
2066
Barry's train of thought was interrupted when Adrian came back with a stranger in his early 20's dressed in a white and red speedster suit. "Barry, meet my brother, Bart Allen, Impulse." Adrian said as he entered the room. 'Get ready, G.' Adrian sent telepathically. Just before Adrian entered his cell, Bart grabbed Daniel and phased both himself and Daniel out of the building. Less than a second after this happened, Adrian got Barry and Artemis out of their cells by destroying the electronic locks.
Barry nodded and phased out the building to help Bart against Daniel with Bart following closely behind. Bart was losing, bad. "Give it up Daniel, it's 3 against 1, you're not gonna win." Barry said as he put his suit on while Adrian helped Bart up. "He's a monster! I don't think we're gonna win." Bart said as he wiped some blood from his mouth.
When Artemis came out, all she saw was 4 distinct trails of lightning all over the place. A few seconds later, Barry, Adrian and Bart were on the ground panting, but it looked like Daniel didn't take a single hit. 'We could try running around him to create a vacuum, even he can't run if he can't breathe.' Adrian sent to the other speedsters. 'I'll keep him busy while you guys get to work.' Bart sent back as he attacked.
"Whatever plan you made telepathically, I assure you it won't work." Daniel told them with a smirk on his face. Bart started attacking while Barry and Adrian ran around both of them, drafting the air upwards. A few seconds later, the lack of air was affecting Daniel, but it was worse on Bart. They stopped when they didn't see Daniel. "He… must have… phased into… another universe." Barry said in between breaths.
"Barry, you have to take care of my brother. Please…" Bart said in a serious ton before his skin started turning into pure energy.
"What are you doing?! Dad told us to never use that!" Adrian yelled. "It's the only way we can beat him Adrian. Forgive me." Bart said as he got on a running stance and ran forward, into another universe.
All of this was new to Barry. "Bart's skin looked like the speed force. What happened?" Barry asked his grandson. "He basically turned into the speed force. It's a process where you gain immense speed temporarily but at a price…" Adrian replied as he wiped a tear and got up.
2016
Everything was happening as it happened in the previous timeline except Cisco and Harry were about to the find the bomb and it looked like Adrian's fate was sealed. He was suffering from Barry being gone and the Black Flash was about to come correct the aberration.
Cisco opened a breach to where the bomb was with Harry and Wally. Cisco brought out a projector which marked four places on the walls of the room. "We're gonna need you to place these on the marked places." Harry told Wally while he handed him four orbs. Wally ran up the walls and placed the orbs which started glowing blue. "You should probably go to Adrian, we can handle it from here. We'll be there as soon as we're done." Cisco told the speedster as he put his gear on. Wally nodded and headed to the hangar.
"If we get Allen out then his grandson lives right?" Harry asked Cisco. "I guess but I doubt that'll stop the Black Flash. We have to Hurry."
Back at the hangar, Adrian was fighting already fighting the Black Flash and was holding his own but not for long. Black Flash started choking him which seemed to drain him. But Adrian returned the favour by doing the same.
"My evil uncle taught me how to do that." Adrian said as his colour went back to normal. Adrian sped behind him and kicked him right on the spine, breaking the zombie's back. "And that's for my grandfather." Adrian said as he plopped onto the floor panting heavily. "He's getting back up!" Wally informed him while he sprinted to attack Black Flash, who anticipated and countered all his attacks leaving Wally on the floor injured.
"Leave him alone, I'm the one you want after all." Adrian said as he onto a fighting stance. He roared and dashed towards the young speedster. 'He got faster, this is not looking good for me.'
Caitlyn made up her mind and took her meta cuffs off and blasted Zolomon with Ice, giving Adrian the upper hand. Adrian nodded and began attacking again but that only seemed to make him more aggressive. He broke free of the ice and knocked Caitlyn out and got Adrian in a choke hold and started vibrating his hand, preparing for the final blow. As he was about to kill Adrian, Wally knocked him to the ground, hoping he bought Cisco some time. But not before Black Flash broke Wally's left foot.
And he did, a breach opened, and Barry came out with Cisco and Harry following suit. "You weren't kidding, Zoom does look like a zombie." An exhausted Barry said. Cisco opened a breach to the speed force, "I can't hold this for long, you've got to throw him in." Cisco informed hastily while the breach emitted lightning, making it unstable. Knowing what was going on, Adrian stood in front of the breach tempting Black Flash. "Come get me, you undead puppet!" Adrian taunted. It worked, Black Flash ran at him at full speed, but Adrian started phasing, so he went right through him and into the speed force.
The Black Flash was back in the speed force, his threat was taken care of. At least for now...
