"It's time, we have it ready, the people are out there waiting. A couple of LexCorp men are out there as well and some of the Outfit made guys. People are approaching and are ready to see what we have in store for this earth, what we wish to give them can be seen as a guy and in others, a curse."

"I know, it's why I wish to give them this chance. They all deserve it, maybe they will see that this is about every single one of us. We are all one, not just something to be used as heroes or cannon fodder for the next crisis. We have to be one machine, a group, otherwise, we are nothing but fools playing to the whims of a higher being than us."

Hunter sat in his office, nervousness and fear gnawed away at him. This was the moment that would make or break him, the moment that the entire world or even the speed force itself could turn against him. He was no longer doing what was right, even with his system being pumped with the drink that he had received days ago. Hunter felt it fading, it was not forever, this small drink was going to be gone within a matter of hours and he had hope, he had it all in the palm of his hands, all he had to do was make it public. 

Now here was the problem of it all, the chance of someone dying was so high. The serum that once had, he could die and he would take it all again. This was uncharted territory, that moment, the singularity of this world had made him sacrifice his precious speed force energy. Now Hunter was on borrowed time, the words of Eobard Thawne knocked into once more. 

'Our energy is like a limb, an extra one that some would call a freakish ability or sinful, something that does not help us but prevents us from being normal in this world. We were chosen Hunter, we were given these abilities because we had the chance to become these men. We are who we are because we decided our fate, now we choose what to do with it. Nevertheless, you cannot do this, a battle like this, one where you will sacrifice something is not one that you wish to walk into blindly, think for a second.' 

Oh, he wished that he had for a single moment, the moment that he had become a man of speed back on his earth. Creating an empire that dominated two Earths and lived until his removal at the hands of Barry Allen. Thus began the power of dwindling, a speedster not of this timeline, not of this world would never really stabilize, the bursts of power had been here and there but he knew it was not forever. 

Even though he felt like he had belonged on this earth, nothing was going to be the same now. He would lose his energy, all of it. No matter what he took or tried to take. The speed force would leave him, it was why he had taken to carrying the gun like these mobsters, he longer trusted his speed and wanted to rely on something else, hence his interest in firearms now. 

"Hunter, we have to do this. You need this, otherwise, there is plan B. You know that you want this, do not fight it. I wish for you to become one of the greatest men on this earth. Allow me to assist you in this, whatever it takes, whatever you need. I am willing to do because this world will need men like you. Someone to look too, someone who will save them every time no matter what."

Even if it meant his death? She was willing to sacrifice him for the greater good of this world, he spared Sara a look, just who was she looking out for here? It was not him, he knew that much and the fact that she Godspeed's spawn. He was doubting, pressing his hands into the side of his head, he wanted to know what he could be doing right now. The answer was terrifying him to the core.

"The things I do to be a hero..."

"Should I really do this? Should I bestow this upon the world?"

"Are you asking me this or are you trying to get me to help you out of this situation? You're the one that wished for speed, you have it, right there in the palm of your hands. We need this, now more than ever. Not for the world, not for the need of the greater good, for these fucks that have us ready for war."

Eobard was looking different, he was dressed in his Reverse-Flash suit. He had been ready for all of this, he was not going to be fighting this alone though. He had notified team flash and was bringing them up to speed. Quite the pun he thought for a second before he focused back on the situation at hand. 

"I just want something for myself Eobard, for fuck's sake is that so much to ask!? I have a war on my hands, I have to fight one of them or join one. I never asked for this, I helped sure but I never wanted to become a fucking mercenary for hire. I was ready to assist in other ways and yet I am here today. A man of speed reduced to a man of the highest bidder, I am nothing but a sellout."

"You need to calm down my friend. You are getting worked up over this and yet you were calm a week ago, how comes you never let her see this side of you? The businessman, the one that worries so much that his hair may be going grey by the looks of it, hm?"

Hunter knew who he was talking about and now was not the time, he was not going to be indulging this moment. Eobard had grown to brazen with his time throughout the touring of the cities until they had to be called back on business, now they had dawned their masks again and resumed the supposed hatred between them. 

"No one, not even her needs to know what I go through. She helped me, I give her that much. Now I am stuck like this, I do not wish to drink a potion of speed once more. Nor do I wish to bring her into this world, you know that much friend. Just let it go, for now, I need to make a choice and soon."

Eobard sighed knowing the choice would have been easy for him, with the threat of these speedsters coming their way. They would need Zoom, not Hunter Solomon. Eobard wanted to know what happened back in the crisis, almost like he had changed without another word, becoming a different person entirely, whenever he dawned the mask and cowl, he became Zoom. 

"You know what you need to do, you know you need to do it now. We need this, Hunter, no, Zoom. He needs to be here now, not you. It's time that the Speed Demon we know came out to play."

Hunter grasped the syringe that held the golden energy of the V9 Serum...it looked different but he needed this and without another word, he plunged it into his forearm and growled as his eyes turned black, streaks of black, white, yellow, and blue lightning gathered around him as he growls to the heavens. 

"And so it has begun...Welcome back, Speed Demon."
