Chapter 136

The next morning, Felicity was surprised to find the Reverse Flash sitting in the prison cell.

"Okay, now I know why Kara called last night. I should've come in." Felicity said, regretting that she'd just let her phone go to voicemail so she could sleep.

"What are you doing here?" Felicity asked.

"Maybe if you'd been here last night you'd know. Ms. Smoak." Thawne said.

"You know who I am?" Felicity asked.

"Well, only from what I've been able to piece together from this time period since I've been here. In my time, there are records of all sorts of heroes. Flash, Supergirl, Green Arrow, Superman, Vibe, Killer Frost, all of them, heroes that go down in history. But, there isn't one mention of you Ms. Smoak. I guess you just never really stood out in the timeline." Thawne said.

"What?" Felicity asked.

"While your team goes down in history, you are nothing. You're discarded and forgotten." Thawne said.

"Enough." Barry said as he entered the base.

"I gotta get to work." Felicity said as she walked out.

"You really can't help yourself can you. You have to be such a dick to everyone you meet." Barry said.

"Hey, it's not my fault she can't handle the truth." Thawne said.

"You know the only reason you're even standing here is because you're useful in stopping Reign, but we can't stop him if you make us all too angry to focus." Barry said.

"Can't blame me for being bitter, being locked up in this cell." Thawne said.

"Because no one in this time period trusts you. A sentiment I'm sure is shared across the entire timeline. And we both know that as soon as this partnership is no longer beneficial, you'll turn on us, try and kill us all." Barry said.

"You really think I'd stick around long enough for that?" Thawne asked.

"Another reason you're in this cell. We need to make sure you don't run off before we send you back where you belong." Barry said.

"You honestly think that'll work?" Thawne asked.

"It held you once, it can hold you again." Barry said.

"We'll see Flash. But remember, no matter what you do, I will always be a part of you." Thawne said.

"I know, but that doesn't mean I have to let you control me anymore." Barry said.

"You're loving this aren't. Seeing me in here." Thawne said.

"Absolutely. Before I found out the truth about you, I never thought I could feel such hatred towards anyone. But then you came along. And you of all people, you know how strong of an emotion hatred is. And that is why, once Reign is dealt with, I'm putting you back where you belong." Barry said angrily.

"We'll see Flash. We'll see." Thawne said with a smile as Barry walked away.

Iris had just returned to Catco after her latest report when she saw Kara gesturing for her to come into her office.

"Is everything okay?" Iris asked worriedly as she noticed the man standing in the office.

"Yeah, everything's fine, but this gentleman here was hoping to speak with you." Kara said.

"Okay and you are?" Iris asked.

"My name is Evan Pierce." the man said as he held out his hand to Iris.

"Wait, as in the CEO of the Hub City Chronicle?" Iris asked.

"Yes, the very same. I've seen your work on the Catco TV." Evan said.

"You've seen my work?" Iris asked.

"Yes and I believe your skills are being wasted. I'd like to put them to better use." Evan said.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand?" Iris asked.

"I want to offer you a job as head anchor." Evan said.

"Wait, what?" Iris asked and Kara smiled.

"As much as I don't want to lose you Iris, I'll understand if you want to take this amazing opportunity." Kara said and Iris was still plain shocked.

"Can I have some time to think about it?" Iris asked.

"Of course. Here's my card, let me know when you've made your decision." Evan said as he handed Iris his business card.
