Unique Gamers Travels-Chapter 205 - 201: Eobard Thawne

[3rd POV]

Currently Talia was standing in the waveriders kitchen, whipping up some dinner for herself, as she made a simple burger. Only to stop when the door to the room slammed open, revealing Sara.

"Well hello to you too" Talia said with a raised eyebrow, as she turned off the oven, and walked over to a table with her food, before plopping down.

"Eobard Thawne" Sara said, as Talia looked up at her, before smiling.

"Good, you figured it out. Have you realized why he's so desperate to get the Spear yet?" Talia asked, as Stein spoke up, Nate and Amaya next to him. The others were off doing there own thing, in the case of Mick, he was probably playing around with his heat gun that was upgraded once again.

"He's running from his own nonexistence" Nate said, as Talia hummed.

"Sort of. See, the Speed Force is not a fan of people breaking it's rules, and amongst them all, it hates anomalies. Thawne is a walking anomaly that shouldn't, and couldn't, and yet he does, by abusing his speed, he is out running the Speed Forces enforcer" Talia explained, as Stein looked at her with a frown.

"An enforcer? Is it perhaps one of those time wraiths that Barry had spoken of?" Stein asked, as Talia shook her head.

"No, something a bit higher up. The enforcer is another speedster, one without a name, that tried to do some...bad things, and was given the duty of hunting down people like Thawne. It's more often known as the "Black Flash" and the "Bringer of Death". It's a death sentence to most speedsters, and not something Barry or Thawne can fight in a frontal confrontation" Talia replied, explaining what the Black Flash was.

"Well isn't that a good thing? He'll do the job for us" Nate asked, as Talia sighed. Sure, it would be a good thing normally, but the chances of the Black Flash actually detecting him was...very unlikely, due to the way it's power worked, which was...complicated to say the least.

"It would be, if it didn't rely on sensing the speed Force, meaning, if Thawne was to stop moving, then he cannot sense him. Just like how if you were to try and shoot him, or hit him with something that is not connected to the speed force, then he wouldn't notice that either. He's also not really the brightest, so trapping him is fairly easy as long as you're smart enough" Talia replied, before biting into her burger, sighing at its juicy goodness.

"How has Thawne not realized that yet?" Sara asked with a frown. She thought he was smarter, but to not notice something so obvious was...surprising to say the least.

"Fear, fear of dying. But by now, he's likely learned about this thanks to Darhk and Merlyn. They're not as intelligent as him in science, but when it comes to people, and reading emotions, they're better than him. And finding the weakness of something like the Black Flash, is right up their alley" Talia replied, knowing that this was exactly what was happening at the moment, but in the future.

"And you really couldn't tell us all of this beforehand?" Sara asked, as Talia nodded. They knew that she was hiding it for some reason, they just couldn't understand what she was hiding it for.

"Trust me Sara, it's for the best. You'll understand in the future" Talia replied simply, knowing that it had to happen this way. If she didn't, then people wouldn't get together, people wouldn't be born, and a whole lot of other issues that she just couldn't allow to happen.

Sighing, Sara replied "Fine, I guess all we can do now is wait for another aberration, and prepare to try and trap Thawne, if he's there"

Hearing Sara, the team nodded, as they slowly went there own ways, except for Stein, who looked back at Talia with a small smile "Thank you, Talia, for what you had said earlier. I have...spoken to my daughter, and while she isn't happy with me, I believe that we will be able to make up, which is...far better than I had hoped for. And for that, I thank you" Stein said, before walking off, leaving Talia who had a small smile of her own, before looking down at her burger.

'Well then, time to eat!'

________________________________________

A couple of days later, Talia was in the main deck of the ship, after a "Timequake" which is a product of a rather large Aberration, had shook the waverider. An aberration that was caused by the murder of George Washington on December 25th, 1776, so...not exactly a small change.

"This is a trap. It's Chicago all over again. Thawne and his buddies are trying to lure us into 1776" Sara said with a sigh.

"Very effectively, might I add" Stein added.

"Yeah" Mick said, walking in.

"You wish to speak, Mr Rory? I noticed the death of our forefather hasn't diminished your appetite" Stein said, as Mick moved and sat on one of the steps, biting into his food.

"Mm, Washington's a punk"

"He led America to independence and became its first President" Stein said, as Ray continued.

"Well, without Washington, America wouldn't have democracy. Or Hamilton"

"If Washington's so cool, why is he on the 1$ bill and Franklin's on the 100$ bill? Now he's cool" Mick said, as Talia struggled not to let out a snort at that one, as it was funny, and true.

"He is cool, but he didn't lead the troops across the Delaware in a sneak attack. Washington did, and, if that offensive fails, the American Revolution fails, and the United States ceases to exist" Nate replied, giving a good reason why Washington was so incredibly important, beyond just being a President.

"Like I said, trap" Sara said.

"Well we still have to go down there either way, don't we? I suggest you just be careful about it, otherwise who knows what sorts of changes will be made by your influence" Talia said, as Jax couldn't help but speak up.

"And what if Thawne is there? What do we do about him?" Jax asked.

"I doubt he'll be there, likely off doing his own thing. It'll be Merlyn and Darhk you'll have to worry about, but you should be able to deal with them easily enough" Talia said, as they nodded in understanding, trusting her judgment.

"Wait, how do we even know where to find Washington?" Amaya asked, as it sounded like finding the man would be harder than actually saving him.

"The night before crossing the Delaware, Washington was in Pennsylvania at the home of William Keith" Nate said, as they all moved to sit in the chairs, preparing to time travel.

"So we're just gonna break into someone's house on Christmas Eve?" Amaya asked, not liking the idea...at all.

"Yep, just like Santa" Jax said as Amaya rolled her eyes.

"Keith would've thrown a Christmas banquet for Washington and his men" Nate explained, knowing that breaking in would have been a bad idea, hence the banquet.

"Ooh, secret mission on Christmas Eve" Ray added.

"Congratulations, Mick, you just became a private in the U.S Army. Nate, Amaya, you two will pose as wealthy newlyweds, eager to make a contribution to the revolutionary cause. Jax and Stein, quarterback the mission, from the ship, at first sign of trouble, you Firestorm up. Ray, I need you to miniaturize down in the ATOM suit-" Sara was cut off from Mick's laugh. "A toy in a Christmas stocking"

"And run reconnaissance. As for you Talia, just...watch the ship I guess, to make sure they don't try anything since we've got the fragment here. All right, let's go save America"

Hearing this, Talia smiled, as she inwardly thought differently.

'Time to be bored...again!'

That's the end of the Chapter!

So, serious question, but should I just...kinda catapult through the next few episodes and get them done with, since she won't be doing a ton during them? If so, then this arc will literally finish in like two Chapters, with her going back to the Flash during that time. She'll also be getting something else too.

Anyways, have a good day!
