TIME VAULT

9:00 am

With the same sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach, Henry made his way over towards the time vault. Placing a hand on the side of the wall the futuristic tech scanned his palm before allowing him in.

"Good morning Henry Joseph Allen. How may I assist you today," replied Gideon.

"Gideon please pull up the news article for December 25, 2040," commanded Henry.

"Yes sir," replied Gideon pulling up the article.

FLASH AND REWIND SAVES THE DAY Written by Iris West-Allen

Looking at the article Henry scrunched his eyebrow in confusion. "That's not possible. Aunt Iris is supposed to be dead," mumbled Henry to himself.

"Gideon could you refresh the page," said Henry hoping that it will help. After refreshing the page the article stayed the same.

"But how? I made sure everything was how it was suppose to be?" said Henry beginning to freak out.

"Gideon, run a complete search. Show any references to Henry Joseph Allen, Pursuit, or Absolute Zero," commanded Henry.

"0 references found," replied Gideon.

"Dawn and Don Allen," tried Henry.

"0 references," repeated Gideon.

"Caitlin Allen?" inquired Henry.

"0 references," said Gideon.

"Look again!!" yelled Henry beginning to worry. He was getting impatient at the monotone of the AI repeating the same phrase.

"I've searched three thousand four hundred and fifty two times, Dr. Allen. There's nothing on Caitlin Allen," said Gideon. Huffing out a puff of air, Henry looked down in defeat. He must have screwed up somewhere. But where?

"But I did find an article on Caitlin Snow," piped up Gideon making Henry look back up at the screen. Looking at the screen Henry stared at the the article in disbelief before anger quickly took over him.

"Motherfucker," Henry swore before storming out of the time vault.

STAR LABS

9:10 am

Getting off the elevator, Ralph hummed to himself as he made his way towards the Cortex. Rounding a corner Ralph was aggressively grabbed by the collar of his shirt and pushed up against the wall. Panicking Ralph lifted both his arms up in the air as the mysterious person held him a few inches above the floor.

"Fine I confess! I ate the last pizza pocket, but I don't regret it. Those things are delicious!" confessed Ralph closing his eyes tightly. Hearing the persons ragged breathing Ralph peeked his eyes open to be meet with Henry who had white hair and crystal blue eyes.

"Where is she?" demanded Henry.

"Where is who?" asked Ralph confused.

"Nora," growled Henry dangerously pushing him deeper into the wall.

"In t-the sp-peed lab," stuttered Ralph recalling seeing her there before making his way up to the Cortex.

Letting go of his collar, Ralph immediately dropped to the floor. Stepping over him Henry made his way past Ralph towards the speed lab.

"Jeez," said Ralph wiping away of bead of sweat. "I got to make sure I stay on his good side," breathed out Ralph before standing up and brushing off the dust on his clothes.

9:15 am

SPEED LAB

Strapping on a pair of boxing gloves Nora swung a punch at the punching bag. She needed to take her anger out on something, so she thought she might stop by at the speed lab. A couple feet away stood Cisco and Harry arguing as usual. Hearing their bickering Nora rolled her eyes.

"I'm telling you. The egg came before the chicken," argued Cisco.

"No. How is that biologically possible. Who would have laid the egg, but the chicken. So obviously the chicken came first," countered acted Harry swinging around his arms to emphasize his point.

"But the chicken had came out of a-" began Cisco.

Focusing on the punching bag, Nora failed to notice the stream of frost heading towards her.

Being thrown back a couple of feet away, Nora looked up only to be met with a very frosty Henry.

"You cold bitch," fumed Henry strutting over towards her with anger in his eyes.

Stopping their argument, Harry and Cisco watched the commotion between the two speedsters.

Standing up with shaky legs Nora laughed menacingly as she wiped the blood off her lip. "I was beginning to wonder when you would notice. Took you long enough," smirked Nora making Henry's blood boil.

"I can't believe you went behind my back and deliberately screwed up with the timeline I tried to fix!" yelled Henry angrily.

"Well, you didn't think it would be that easy. Did you?" inquired Nora taking a step towards Henry. "What? Are your scared that I would hurt you the way I hurt mommy?" taunted Nora whispering so that Cisco and Harry wouldn't hear her. At the mention of his mother, Henry saw a brief flash of himself holding his mother's lifeless body in his arms.

"I'm not afraid of you," growled Henry looking into her eyes.

"Then prove it," said Nora. "Let me out of these stupid cuffs and lets finally see whose faster," provoked Nora. "What are you afraid of?" asked Nora looking into Henry's blue-green eyes. She was ready to prove to him once and for all that he would never beat her.

There was a slight pause between the two speedsters as it seemed like Henry was actually considering it. Looking at her, Henry clenched his jaw. How dare she bring up his mother. He was ready to prove to her who really was the best.

"Alright," said Henry after awhile. "You want to go?" asked Henry with an eyebrow raised. Tapping on his futuristic tech bracelet Henry enabled Nora to regain her speed. Feeling the energy coursing through her Nora felt a spark of lighting running across her arm. Flashing away Henry brought Nora's suit. Throwing it at her Nora super speeded her suit on. Strapping on his mask, lightning coursed through Henry's eyes.

"Let's go!" growled Henry as the two speedsters charged at one another. In a flash of purple and blue, Henry and Nora ran around the speed lab shattering glass in their wake as they fought one another.

As shards of glass began to fall from above Harry and Cisco took cover.

"Holy shit!" exclaimed Cisco ducking as he was nearly shot with a bolt of lightning.

"We need to get in touch with the other's before they destroy this place!" yelled Harry over the commotion nearly missing an icicle that impaled into the desk behind him.

"On it," said Cisco. Leaning against the wall, Cisco spotted his phone laying on the computer desk nearby. Taking a deep breath, Cisco decided to make a run for it. Taking a step forward a ice blast hit the table making Cisco shriek as he ducked for cover. Soon after a lighting bolt shot the table short circuiting the computer and disabling it. Peeking from under the desk Cisco noticed his phone frozen into the desk.

"Shit," grimaced Cisco.

------------------------------------------

Running around the speed lab at remarkable speeds, the speedsters threw punches and kicks at each other. Nora threw a super speed punch at Henry making him double over. Henry quickly regained his balance just in time as Nora threw another punch at him, ducking and kicking her in the leg. Nora dropped down grunting in pain as Henry used this as an advantage.

Running around in a circle, Henry engulfed Nora in a swirl of lighting. Channeling his inner frost Henry ran around her faster. As Nora began to stand up Henry threw a lightning bolt encased  with some of his frost power at her.

Being shot a couple of feet back Nora hit her back against the brick wall. Shivering from the cold Nora vibrated her body back to it's normal temperature. Breathing heavily Henry began to stalk towards her. Seeing this Nora got up from the floor and began to run around the outer wall of the track. Standing in the middle of the speed lab, Henry began to shoot his icicles in all direction trying to hit his sister.

Gathering enough speed Nora threw a lighting bolt at Henry. Counteracting it Henry created an ice blast dispensing the lighting bolt entirely.

Looking at him Nora took a step back in shock. With his eyes engaged on her Henry began to fume with anger. With the powers he has been absorbing within his suit Henry began to attack Nora with it.

Throwing a lightning bolt encased with frost Nora blocked the blast by creating a shield with her futuristic tech bracelet that disintegrated on contact. Taking this as his opportunity Henry ran at Nora before jumping over her and throwing another ice blast at her. Being distracted from the first blast, Nora was unable to counteract this blast and was instead thrown across the room.

Nora's back made a sickening crack as it made an impact with the wall. Laying on the ground, Nora groaned in pain. She tried to stand up but didn't have the strength to. Standing up from his crouched position Henry strutted over towards Nora with anger in his eyes. Nora tried even harder to stand up but didn't have the strength too since her body was still trying to recover from that blast. It seemed as if the temperature in the air had dropped radiating Henry's anger. Walking towards her Henry began to form an ice spear within the palm of his hands. 

------------------------------------------

9:30 am

CORTEX

Finally arriving at the Cortex Ralph sipped on the coffee he had made. To be precise, it was his 4th cup of coffee since he had messed up the first three. Looking up from his cup of coffee Ralph noticed Barry, Caitlin, Iris, and Joe gathered around the Cortex talking.

"Remind me never to mess with your son," said Ralph pointing at Caitlin.

"Excuse me?" questioned Caitlin raising and eyebrow in confusion.

"Henry," clarified Ralph. "He just attacked me in the hallway," pouted Ralph rubbing his chest.

"That doesn't sound like Henry," said Caitlin sharing a look with Barry who seemed worried.

"Phff, your telling me," huffed out Ralph. "I'd hate to be on his bad side," said Ralph taking a seat.

"Did he say where he was going?" asked Barry looking at his friend.

"The Speed Lab. He said he was looking for Nora," said Ralph.

"Why would he need Nora?" questioned Iris as the computer started beeping.

"Maybe because of this," said Joe pulling up the live feed of the Speed Lab and projecting it on the monitors across the Cortex. Everyone in the room gasped as they looked at the screen. The screen showed the speed lab covered in ice, looking like a winter wonderland. Cisco and Harry were shown crouching down behind a desk in the corner as Henry loomed over Nora.

"Oh my God," breathed out Caitlin looking at the screen. In a flash, Barry was speeding out of the Cortex towards the Speed Lab with the others trailing behind him.

---------------------------------------

SPEED LAB

Looming over Nora Henry bent down grabbing her by the neck. Lifting her off the ground Henry slammed Nora into the wall. Strengthening his grip around her neck, Nora clawed at Henry's arm trying to get air to breathe. Looking at her Henry began to play with the ice spear in his hand feeling unaffected by her effort to be set free.

"Tsk, Tsk, you really shouldn't have done that," scowled Henry looking at her. "Did you honestly think you could beat me?" asked Henry with a smirk on his face.

"Well, let me tell you something Nora," said Henry emphasizing on her name. "No matter what you do, I will always be faster than you," said Henry. "That's just how it is," said Henry as Nora looked into his blue-green eyes.

"Now let me teach you a lesson about who really is in charge," said Henry bringing the ice spear to her face. Taking the spear, Henry dragged it along Nora's cheek creating a slash making her wince in pain. Smiling Henry raised the spear above his head. He was going to use it as a way to knock Nora out but was brutally thrown back at super speed by his father (Henry doesn't kill just like his father).

"What the hell is going on?!" asked Barry furiously.

Running into the Speed Lab Caitlin made her way over towards Henry while Iris made her way towards Nora. Walking in after them Joe and Ralph went to check on Cisco & Harry to see if they were injured. With the help of her mother Nora stood up. After helping her son up, Henry marched passed Caitlin over towards Nora with anger in his eyes. Pushing past her mother Nora stalked towards Henry. Seeing as they were about to attack one another again Barry stood in the middle of them with his arms raised.

"Alright that's enough!" yelled Barry. "Will someone please tell me what's going on?" asked Barry looking between his two kids.

"Henry attacked me!" claimed Nora.

"You tried to erase me from existence!" yelled Henry looking at Nora with daggers in his eyes.

"What?" breathed out Barry looking at his son.

"Nora deliberately messed with the timeline I tried to fix," confessed Henry. "She went behind my back and screwed it up so bad where I don't even exist anymore," said Henry projecting the data he found from his futuristic tech bracelet. Looking at the screen the Team saw no references to 'Henry Joseph Allen'.

"But how is that possible?" asked Barry confused. "Didn't Caitlin and I have you in the future?" said Barry not understanding how that was possible.

"Yeah, well you can't have a kid with someone who is dead," mumbled Henry.

"What?" asked Caitlin looking at her son.

Tapping on the bracelet Henry pulled up the article on Caitlin's death.

"Oh my god," breathed out Joe looking at the screen.

"Is there anyway we could fix this?" asked Barry looking at his son. He was willing to do anything to protect Caitlin, no matter the cost.

"That's what I'm going to do," said Henry tapping onto his bracelet. Pulling up Nora's speed Henry turned it off enabling Nora from using it anymore. In a flash of blue lighting Henry sped out of the Speed Lab with Nora.

-------------------------------------------

PIPELINE

Opening a cell Henry threw Nora into it before closing it shut.

"Hey! Let me out of here! Let me out of here!!" yelled Nora banging on the glass door.

Running into the pipeline the rest of the gang slowed down to a stop as they watched the scene.

"Why are you locking her in there?" questioned Iris looking at Henry.

"So she can't mess with anything else," stated Henry before turning around.

"No one is to let her out of their until I return," said Henry looking at the team.

"And to be on the safe side," said Henry before looking back at the device. Pulling out a chip from his tech bracelet Henry attached it to the palm scanner. Scanning his hand over the device the machine allowed for Henry to be the ONLY one who will be able to open the cell door.

"There," said Henry turning around. "Now I will be the only one who can open that cell door," said Henry walking past them and strapping on his mask.

"Where are you going?" asked Caitlin looking at her son.

"To the speed force to see if I can fix this mess," said Henry before zooming out of the room.
