DC Universe: Flash - 1.11 - Back to the Future, Part One
Thawne's words are still playing in the back of my mind as I race out of that prison, making my way towards the one place that has exactly what I need. The Cosmic Treadmill! Left at Star Labs of all places. Not really sure why though, as Barry never worked with them as the Flash. Anyways, I need the treadmill, as it helps us speedsters time travel better. Meaning, that we end up in the right place at the right time. After all, we wouldn't want to end up in a future where the Earth's radioactive or anything. Sorry, not really in the dystopian mood right now. It isn't long before I'm back at Star Labs, finding the room with the treadmill soon after. Next stop, the 30th Century! More specifically, Central City!
---------------------------
"I'm back!" I say with a laugh, as I speed through the bustling streets of Central City, weaving through the oncoming traffic. Anti-Gravity is a big part of the 30th century tech. It's helped to prevent billions of crashes each year, so I'm glad to see me showing up in the past hasn't changed that. Besides, hover vehicles are just so much cooler anyway! Oh, there's the Renegades out on patrol! Nice! Taking down some Purifiers. It isn't long though, before I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look beside me, and it's yet another speedster. Though I don't recognize them. Black suit, with light blue accents throughout, with a helmet covering their face. Looks especially badass though!
"You're under arrest, for unregistered use of the Speed Force. Surrender now!" Its voice commands, as it continues to chase me through the city.
"Sorry, no can do! Kind of busy at the moment, trying to get answers! Catch me if ya can!" I taunt, sticking my tongue out, before going even faster. But the bounty hunter is in tight pursuit, not letting up in the slightest.
"President Thawne's not gonna be happy about this." I somehow manage to hear them talking, through their mumbling. I abruptly stop at the mention of his name.
"Thawne, president? Aha, you're joking, right? Right?" I ask, shuddering at the thought.
"No.. Why would I be?" The figure responds deadpan, with no change in tone.
"Well that's just great.." I groan. The speedster pulls out a device, which I recognize as a DNA holo scanner. Can instantly tell you within a matter of seconds who the person is.
"Bartholomew Henry Allen II.. Wait.. What? Bart, that's you?" Their tone shifts, to being more excited. They're almost cheering.
"I don't know what you're talking about! I'm the Flash!" I say, vibrating my voice, to sound differently.
"Sure you are cuz. I really should've figured it out sooner." Sure enough, as the speedster removes their helmet, I instantly recognize them. My cousin, Jenni Ognats. Also known as the Legionnaire XS.
"Jenni?! Woah, okay, that's a plot twist I wasn't expecting. What's going on here? I thought you were with the Legion? XS.." I look at her, completely baffled at the newfound changes.
"Legion? XS? Since when was I a legionnaire? Are you okay Bart? Cause the only other name I've ever gone by is Pursuit. I know you've been gone for a while, but you should know this.." She replies, looking rather concerned for me.
"Huh? Yeah, just fine. So crash, nothing to worry about." Besides me completely changing the timeline, and now a Thawne's president, along with Jenni being some sort of bounty hunter! Just what everyone wants!
"So why didn't you come back sooner? Your mom was worried sick. We expected a couple of hours, maybe a day at most. But it's been years. What have you been doing?" She prods, her voice almost trailing off.
"I couldn't help myself Jenni! Getting to see both Flashes in their prime? Who would dare miss something as awesome as that? Just too crash! I couldn't let that go so soon.. I've started to build a life there. I've got friends there!" I blurt out, as I can't help myself from smiling ear to ear.
"But you don't belong in the 21st century.. I know you don't want to hear this Bart, but this is your time.. You have family and friends here too. Can't discount it just for a chance to play hero. Besides, you risk changing the timeline by going back." There it is once again.. Jenni was always one to follow the rules.
"Lil late for that.." I mutter to myself.
"What was that?"
"Nothing Jenni. Nothing at all. Anyways, I gotta go. Wally West's been captured by Inertia, and I need to find some answers. Have you heard that name before? Inertia, that is."
"Inertia? Never heard of them.." She remarks.
"Really? Dangit. What about Thaddeus Thawne II?"
"Well President Thawne is Thaddeus Thawne. So it's probably best if you start there. Guess it's a good thing I have to bring you to him. Who knows, maybe he'll give you the answers you need." She explains.
"Guess I may as well.. Don't have any other leads to go off of after all." I say as I follow Jenni through Central City, towards a spiraling tower, in the center of the city. Yup, that sounds about right. Thawne's have quite the ego. Looks like I'll be talking to another Thawne today after all.
