Red Racer Pt. 30.
{7:20 P.M.}
Though his face is noticeably decaying, I recognize him. It all makes sense now. All this time I had no clue but now that I know. Now that I know who is underneath the mask it all clicks. It couldn’t be anyone other than him. He knew all of this. The only question is…
”Why?” I ask.
”Isn’t it obvious. You forgot about me. You moved on with Linda. We were so close and it took you less than a month to stop coming to see me. Less than a month to move on and forget. Did you even care? Did anything we do together even matter to you? All those memories for not?” His words pierced my heart. It’s true. I did forget to soon…
”But that still doesn’t give you reason to take Linda from me.”
”Does it not? She took your attention away from me.”
”Did you really expect me to waste my entire life sulking over your death?”
”The least you could do for not fighting harder to save mine.”
”I tried everything I possibly could.”
”Apparently you didn’t try hard enough or I wouldn’t have joined with the negative speed force.”
”How do y…”
”Know about the negative speed force? I’ve been here for a lot longer than you think, Wally. For every second you live out here I live ten more. All that time I spent fighting to stay alive. I would get glimpses of hope in time when you perhaps weren’t using your powers. I thought back to something. The Reverse Flash used powers that were opposite of yours. A negative speed force. Something I learned was that I would grow stronger every second you weren’t using your powers. That’s how I became faster than you.”
”Well all that to fail. You aren’t faster than me, Hunter.”
”That’s where you’re wrong. I didn’t really want to kill Linda, though as tempting as it was when I was so far ahead of you, I didn’t. No, truly the greatest thing to do in retaliation was to kill you.”
”No.”
”So, I slowed down and let you catch up to me.”
”No.”
”I let you knock me down.”
”N-no.”
”I allowed you to feel safe as you took my weapon from you.”
”No.”
”I let you feel hope.” In the matter of an instant, Hunter is up and grabs me by the throat. He lifts me into the air and reels back with his scythe. ”Just so I could rip it from you.”
“No!”
(BLAM! BLAM!)
The sound of bullets ejecting from the barrel of a gun fill the air. Hunter turns back to see the two bullets getting ever closer to the pair of us.
“Or…” Hunter lowers me to the ground and stands me in front of the bullets. ”Have your own girlfriend kill you. Sweet, sweet revenge.”
The bullets get closer and closer to Hunter and I. He holds me so I can’t move. I need to think fast.
”Good-bye, Wally…”
