Chapter 92

"I don't understand why you feel like you need to do this my love. Thaddeus and I are more than capable of clearing the way for our army to arrive. Not to mention the army I've had Grodd begin to build here since before I left." Thawne said to his wife as she prepared to inject herself with a nanite concoction of her own.

"Doing this will speed up your timetable, since it will allow me to strike the Flash in a way you can't without disrupting the timeline. This will break him in a way you've always wanted too and allow us to return home. Besides, while you were gone for 5 years, I was left to rule our empire and several people seemed to think that was the time to strike at me. If it weren't for Thaddeus and the high guard, I'd be dead right now and I'll never let myself be that vulnerable again. I've learned a thing or two while you were gone." Meena said to her husband.

"Meena, this is dangerous. I can't lose you." Thawne said.

"And you think I can stand the thought of losing you? I won't stand on the sidelines. Not when I can help you as more than just your scientist." Meena said.

"You've always been more than just a scientist to me. You know that." Thawne said.

"I know. Which is why I'm doing this. I've created this nanite serum using 25th century technology and calculated every possible outcome. This will give me the power I need to hurt the Flash in a way that will crush him." Meena said as she injected herself with the serum before even the Reverse Flash could stop her.

"Mother." Thaddeus said as he entered just in time to watch her collapse.

"Meena." Thawne said as he rushed to help her up and Meena just shook him off.

"I can feel it." Meena said.

"Feel what?" Thaddeus asked as Meena closed her hand into a fist, causing the ground to shake and a rock to lift from it.

"Let's see if the Flash can run when the Earth literally cracks beneath his feet." Meena said with a grin, which her husband shared.

"Are you sure you're ready for this? After all, this isn't an experiment in the lab and you've never had to fight anyone before." Eobard said, since he was all for the advantage his wife had just given them, he needed to be sure she was ready, since she and his sons, even the traitor Erikson, were the only people he cared about. Which was why he'd spared Erikson and maybe by the time his army arrived in the present, Erikson would be the one leading it, assuming his re-education went as planned.

"I know, but I can do this, Eobard. The sooner the Flash is gone, the sooner we can bring this time period under our rule. And then bring peace to the whole timeline." Meena said.

"Let's not get crazy, Meena." Eobard said.

"Don't call me that anymore. From now on, call me Landslide." Meena said as she suddenly summoned a green and brown costume around.

"I think that before you go along with whatever you're planning, we need to make sure that you can handle what's coming." Eobard said, already getting a little concerned over how much this nanite injection was affecting her.

A month later found Iris sitting in at her weekly veteran support group meeting, since after she'd initially come home from overseas, it had helped her learn to cope not only with the loss of her arm and legs, but also the loss of her fellow soldiers. She still didn't know why people didn't question how she'd miraculously regained the use of her legs or regrown her arm, but she was grateful for it.

And being here also helped her deal with the guilt she felt about not being able to bring her platoon home. The fact that there were others who felt the same way she did helped, though she was still trying to get Gabby to attend a meeting and she knew Caitlin was trying too. Gabby was just too stubborn to admit that it could help her.

Anyways, the meeting had just wrapped up and Iris was heading out her car when suddenly the ground began to shake and crack under her.

"What the hell?" Iris shouted before she quickly used her powers to fly into the air, also shifting into her red and yellow Cyclone costume (picture a red and yellow version of the outfit Cyclone wore in Black Adam) as she flew back up to the surface to see her car was wrecked.

"Oh come on, I just finished paying that off." Cyclone complained, only to have to duck as a boulder was tossed at her.

"What the hell?" Cyclone asked as she looked down to see a woman that she recognized from Silver Bolt's files as Thawne's wife, Meena Dhewan, rising from the ground.

"Iris West, it's nice to meet you. It'll be even better to say goodbye." Meena said as she chucked another boulder at Cyclone, who quickly used her wind powers to redirect back at her.

"Meena Dhewan. I didn't know you had powers." Cyclone said.

"It's Landslide to you and I gave myself powers because it's the only way I can kill you, which is the first step to my husband finally putting his grudge with your fiance aside and letting us go home, since your death will destroy the Flash." Landslide said.

"I don't think so bitch." Cyclone said as she sent an air blast at Landslide, who summoned a rockshield to protect herself from it.

"Let's do this." Landslide said as Cyclone landed.

"Let's. I'm guessing you gave yourself Earth powers to counter my air powers?" Cyclone asked.

"Very observant. But you don't stand a chance against me." Landslide said, only for Cyclone to literally knock the wind out of her with an extra strong air blast.

"Clearly, you haven't had your powers as long as I've had mine, not to mention I learned from a pro." Cyclone said as she summoned a tornado around herself.

"You think I'm scared of a little hot air?" Landslide asked as she summoned a wave of rock and sent it flying at Cyclone, who turned sideways so she was laying on her back in the middle of her tornado, which she used as a drill to move straight through the rock with ease.

"What?" Landslide asked as she was knocked and Cyclone landed with ease.

"Like I said, I've been training to use my powers for a long time. Not to mention I have this." Cyclone said as she showed up her bionic arm by having it produce a blaster in her palm, since Cisco had upgraded her arm in case her powers ever failed for some reason.

"This isn't over." Landslide said as she escaped by sinking back into the ground.

"Well, that was new. And that chick needs to get some therapy." Cyclone said as she flew towards Mount Flash.
