"Whoa, what happened to you?" Kira asked when Wally zooming into their new base, which was now located McCulloch Manor, an old abandoned manor house that was owned by Jesse's grandparents on her mother's side, but had fallen into disrepair after they'd passed on, since no one had lived there since then. The grounds were unkept and the house itself looked like it was falling part.
"Godspeed happened." Wally said as he pulled off what was left of his cowl.
"Wait, since when can Godspeed do that kind of damage to you?" Jesse asked as she rushed toward her boyfriend, since the whole team, meaning them, Kira and Dinah, were gathered in the entrance hall of the base.
"Since he connected to the negative speed force, giving him organic speed." Wally said.
"Wait, negative speed force?" Jesse asked.
"Think of it like yin and yang. Light and dark. The universe requires a cosmic balance. I draw my speed from the positive speed force, but every positive needs a negative. The negative speed force is what fuels evil speedsters, it draws on negative emotions, anger, hatred, etc." Wally said.
"So now he's a real deal speedster, not just a faker?" Kira asked.
"Exactly. The only reason I beat him this time is because he's still learning how to use his new powers, while I still have experience." Wally said.
"That does make sense." Kira said.
"So, what do we do now?" Dinah asked.
"Well for starters, I need a new suit, since this one is trashed and I think I'm due for an upgrade anyways." Wally said.
"We'll see what we can do when we're not looking for my mother." Jesse said.
"And we will find her Jesse. Godspeed's new speed isn't going to distract me from that." Wally was quick to promise.
"Good. I just wish I knew where to start. My mother kept her personal lab hidden very well and normally I'd applaud her effort, but now it's keeping me from finding her." Jesse said.
"We'll find it." Wally said.
"How, you've searched all over the city for it at least 10 times and haven't found anything." Jesse said.
"Jesse, you knew that this wouldn't be easy. But we will find a way to save your mom. I promise." Wally said.
"I know, it's just getting frustrating that we're no closer to finding her than when we started and she hasn't even appeared once since that first time." Jesse said frustratedly.
"We'll find it and hopefully with it, a way to save her." Kira said, right as Jesse placed her hand on a weird stone in the house, which suddenly lit up.
"McCulloch DNA detected, please enter password." a female voice said as suddenly a keyboard flipped out of the wall.
"I think we might've found your mom's lab. It's literally been hidden beneath our feet this whole time." Kira said.
"I should've known." Jesse said with a smile.
"What would your mom's password be, since I'm assuming that there's some kind of failsafe in place in the event the wrong password is put in." Wally asked.
"I got this." Kira said as she attempted to hack through the lock, to jolt back like she'd been shocked.
"I think I tripped a security measure to keep hackers out. And it looks like that activated some kind of failsafe self destruct program. We have 3 minutes to figure out the correct password or else the lab and the house above it go boom." Kira said.
"We need to evacuate. If this were a number keypad code, I might stand a chance, but even at superspeed, there's only so many words I can type in three minutes." Wally said.
"Let me try something first." Jesse said and before anyone could stop her, she ran over to the computer and started typing.
"J-E-S-S-E. Jesse." Jesse said, typing her name in and sure enough, it worked.
"Password accepted, welcome back Eva." The computer said as a wall slid out of the way to reveal a hidden passage.
"Well mom, let's see what you've got for us here." Jesse said, hoping that this really was what she was hoping it was as she led the team downstairs.
