STAR LABS

After Nora's run, she headed over to Star Labs to see if they needed her help with anything. As she was about to enter the Cortex she heard two people laughing. She stopped in her tracks near a wall and slowly peered over her shoulder to see who it was.

She saw Barry and Caitlin casually sitting next to each other talking. Caitlin laughed at Barry's joke and placed a hand lightly on his forearm as he smiled. Nora watched them with hate in her eyes remembering the real reason why she despised the good doctor......

*FLASHBACK September 27, 2040*

10 days after Iris's funeral (she died 2040 not 2033)

After hunting down and deliberately killing Iris's killer Nora (37-year-old stuck in a 20-year-old body) discovered something she never saw coming. And now she is standing outside of that one person's house ready to confront them. She slowly walked up the porch and knocked on the door. After a while of waiting, the person answered the door wearing a dirty apron and holding a towel in her hands.

"Nora," Caitlin called out "what brings you by?" she asked with a smile on her face.

"Can I come in?" asked Nora bitterly.

"Uh yeah, yeah...of course," said Caitlin stepping aside to allow Nora in.

Nora walked in and looked around to see if anyone else was here. "Where is everyone?" she asked Caitlin.

"Well, Barry is still at work if that is why you stopped by. The twins are right now upstairs sleeping and Henry is in his room reading" replied Caitlin.

"Actually..." said Nota turning around, "I came here to talk to you?" she said facing Caitlin.

"Me?" asked Caitlin surprised.

"Yeah," replied Nora,"I wanted to know why you did it?" she said angrily.

"Did what?" Caitlin asked confused.

"Why did you kill my mother!!" Nora screamed at Caitlin.

Caitlin was shocked and taken back by Nora's comment. "I didn't kill your mother, Nora," Caitlin said truthfully, "That was the Badger Gang who shot and killed Iris, not me," she said.

"You did kill my mother!!" Nora yelled at Caitlin "You were the one who told her about the gang in the first place!!"

Caitlin was frozen in shock. She remembered a couple of months ago when she and Iris had gone out for a drink at a local bar. She was talking to Caitlin about a drug-dealing gang that was running around Central City stealing drugs without leaving behind a single trace. Although Iris did not know who they were, the description of it fitted the same gang Caitlin remembered when she worked for Amunet. They were called the Badger Gang and were very good at what they did. So Caitlin told Iris everything she knew about the Badger Gang hoping to help her friend. But she never expected Iris to go after them.

"I never expected her to go chasing after them," Caitlin said sincerely.

Nora laughed bitterly at Caitlin."Oh, cut the crap, Caitlin." Nora said her name in disgust, "I'm sure that you wanted to see my mother go chasing after them in the first place. Isn't that why you told her about them?! Cause you wanted her dead! Hell... you're probably glad that she's gone!" she said angrily taking a step towards Caitlin.

"I'm NOT glad that she's dead Nora!" said Caitlin honestly, "I lost her too. She was my friend...my family. She was an amazing person who I cared about. I cared about her too Nora...I would never wish any harm upon her," said Caitlin trying to reason with the girl.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KILLED HER! YOU'RE THE REASON MY MOTHER IS DEAD!!! " screamed Nora not listening to a word Caitlin said. She was furious and her eyes were crackling with lightning as she stared at the woman.

"Look...Nora," said Caitlin raising her hand up in defence, "I know how much Iris meant to you," she said taking a step towards her, "...and I know how much losing her has hurt you," she said taking another step, "But I need you to calm down...." said Caitlin trying to calm the angry speedster.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!" said Nora pushing Caitlin at superspeed.

Caitlin was thrown across the room hitting her back on the brick wall making a sickening crack. She laid on the ground still conscious but her whole body ached in pain. She tried to stand up but didn't have the strength to.

"Still too weak I see," said Nora smiling evilly,"I guess your last fight must have tired you out...Frost😱," she said as she began to approach Caitlin.

Caitlin tried even harder to stand but her body was screaming out in pain preventing her from doing so. "I guess this will make things...much easier," said Nora sauntering her way over while pulling out a sharp object from behind her back😈🗡.

As she was just a few feet away from Caitlin the temperature in the room dropped drastically🌡. Nora breathed out a puff of air and could see her breath in the air 🌬. Before she had time to react she felt a gust of wind stop right in front of her causing her to drop the object in her hand and taking a few steps back in alarm🚨.

A 17-year-old Henry stood in front of her with icy blue eyes and hair as white as snow. "STAY AWAY FROM HER NORA" he growled at her.

"Why should I?" asked Nora recovering from shock, "She's the reason my mother is dead!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Henry confused.

"She's the one who told my mother about the Badger Gang in the first place! She's the one who sent her to her death! She's the one who KILLED HER!!" screamed Nora fuming with anger😡.

"My mother did not kill your mother!!" yelled Henry taking a step towards Nora.

"Yes, she did!" Nora screamed back.

"No, she, didn't" growled Henry, "Cause the last time I CHECKED, she WASN'T the one who pulled the trigger and SHOT your mother straight through the HEART!" yelled Henry a few inches away from Nora's face.

Hurt quickly flashed through Nora's face and she took a few steps back away from Henry. She couldn't believe this. Her little brother who she cared for and loved choose to side with that bitch (Nora's words not mine👐) who murdered her mother.

Henry's face softened a bit realizing that his words had hurt Nora."I'm sorry Nora," Henry said sincerely, "I know how much you miss your mother. I miss her too. But you can't keep blaming other people for what has happened. Blaming my mother won't bring your mother back."

Nora was sad. He's right, she thought, blaming Caitlin won't bring my mother back...but what can? 🤔And then she thought of it💡. A way to bring her mother back, but she won't do it...well not yet😏. She smiled a bit at the thought😈.

"You right," agreed Nora, "Blaming Caitlin won't bring my mother back," she said heading towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Henry asked confused.

"Oh don't worry Henry," said Nora smiling evilly,"I'm just going go for a little run. But don't worry...I'll be back. And when I do....I'm going to make you suffer...just like I have" she smiled evilly at her plan😈.

"Until then," she said before leaving, "make sure to watch your back" and just like that she was gone in a flash of purple and yellow lighting leaving behind a confused Henry.........................................

Nora was brought back to reality when she heard the clicking of heels and the voices of people heading her way. She quickly flashed over to the other end of the hall so that she wasn't caught. She saw Cisco, Ralph, and Iris heading towards the Cortex. She quickly straightened up her clothes and began to walk towards them pretending like she just got here.

"Oh, hey mom!" said Nora to Iris. Quickly both Barry and Caitlin stood up surprised that the others were here. Cisco and Ralph went into the Cortex to greet Barry and Caitlin while Iris talked to her daughter in the hallway.

"Hey Nora," said Iris embracing her daughter in a hug.

"How did it go?" Nora asked her mother.

"Not bad actually. I think Mayor Bellow might be a hard cookie to beat," she said laughing at her own joke. Nora smiled at her mother glad to see that she was still alive. They then made their way over to the Cortex to join the others.

Suddenly, the alarms started going off. Cisco's hands were flying off the keyboard trying to pinpoint where the problem was coming from. Joe and Harry both ran into the cortex out of breath, since they had to run all the way here from the other side of Star Labs. Joe phone went off signaling that he got a notification.

"Uh..guys," said Joe looking up from his phone, "turn the TV on to Channel 6 (News Channel)"

Quickly Caitlin grabbed the remote from a nearby table and turned on the news. The screen of the television lit up showing people frantically running around screaming in terror as a heavily charged portal with lighting moving around it opened up in City Hall. Team Flash just stood there in shock as they held in their breaths looking at the screen.

"It can't be," cried Barry.

"What the hell is that?" questioned Ralph.

"The Speedforce" breathed out Caitlin.

"We are here...live in City Hall," said the reporter on television, "where it seems like some kind of portal has opened up...." played in the background.

"How is that possible?" asked Iris.

"I don't know" stated Harry dumfounded for once.

"Is it going to destroy the whole city, like the last time?" asked Joe.

"It's hard to tell," said Harry.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake making everyone in the Cortex grab onto the table trying to keep their balance. The video filming the portal began to shake as well until something jumped out of the portal. The impact sent a shock wave causing everything in its way to be thrown back a couple meters away, including the camera guy and the reporter. The sound of glass breaking from buildings and cars could be heard through the speakers of Star Labs. A dust cloud began to form on the screen. Slowly as the dust cloud died down, an image of a person clad in a black suit stood in the middle of the scene. He was crouched down with his fist on the ground with a small meteor sized dent around him. He slowly began to stand up looking unharmed. The camera zoomed in on his face to show a young man with a mask on who had light brown hair and icy white eyes.

Nora gasped seeing the person. "It's him," she said scared.

"Who's him?" asked Joe worried for his granddaughter.

"Pursuit," growled Barry angrily.

"WHERE IS REWIND!!!" screamed the speedster in a metallic voice.
