《Changing the Future》26 - Connection
Advertisement
Thane was waiting in his cell when the timer went off. The guard them came in and said "15 years, how does it feel knowing that your going to be extinct" and another guard brought in the machine he was going to be killed in.
In a random cabin in the woods Grace from the future was working on modifying the cryo-atomizer to her advantage. Not that team Flash new, they were going over what they knew to come up with a plan.
"Here's what we know about the cryo-atomizer, it was originally used by tanhouser industries to combat land fires in droughts" Caitlin said
"It can disperse cold air particles into the atmosphere that triggered rainfall" Dawn said and everyone looked shocked that she knew how it works. "What? I know stuff and I may or may not have accidentally activated it once"
People weren't exactly in a laughing mood so it was kind of silent. "Instead of causing rainfall Cicada can replace the col particles with cure prototypes"
"Which doesn't cure but kill" Cisco said
"She should be able to effect the entire city" Caitlin said and stood next to Barry who was in the centre of the cortex facing everyone except Cisco who was on the other side of Caitlin.
"And every meta human" Iris said and they all looked around the room feeling scared.
"Look its not great but there is a silver lining, if Cicada had everything she needed to carry put her plan she would have already done so." Sherlock said
"He's right" Nora said
"Not for long though" Barry said "she's not gong to waste time, whatever she needs she's looking fro it now"
"Then we move right away and cure anyone who needs it" Iris said
"Do we have enough of the cure?" Dawn asked and Caitlin and Cisco shook their heads
"Not nearly enough" Cisco said
"How fast can we make more?" Joe asked
"We'll see" Caitlin said and went straight to her lab
"We need to find a place to distribute it now" Cecil said
"Dad, do you think you could do it at CCPD?" Iris asked
"Yeah, that's good idea" Joe said
"But gathering mets in that one place ,makes it a target" Nora said
"We'll she has everything so along as a meta is in the city they have a target on their back.

"You guys make sas much of the cure as you can and Cecil and I can talk to Singh" Joe said and Barry nodded so Joe and Cecil left the room.
"Let track Cicada we need to be ready to face her" Barry said. Dawn feels something is off with this whole thing so she is re-thinking the whole situation and Thawne. She trust her sister but not the man who killed her grandmother.
"Follow me" Cisco said and they all followed him to his workshop.
"Is that the core?" Iris asks
"Yep, the satellite gave us a lot of things and if the mirror gun works on the core here then it will work on the dagger" Cisco said and then got out the mirror gun. "Ok here we go" H Ethan fired the gun and it hit the satellite. At first nothing happened but to started to fold in mirror reflections.
"It works" Barry said excited for some good news "if we Destry the dagger we will have our powers when were around cicada"
"And we can finally take her down" Nora said and it sounded a bit evil
"Nora you ok?" Iris asks
"Yeah" Nora said
"Its just earlier today you had red lightning" Barry said
"I'm fine, Caitlin ran very test in the book" Nora said
"Its our job to worry" Iris said
"The only one who needs to worry is Cicada II" She said and both Barry and Iris were worried but they weren't the only ones. Dawn overheard the whole thing.
They got a cicada alert and Dawn, Nora and Barry were on the scene. While they were running to scene Nora saw something, something that someone else was seeing. She didn't know that Cicada II could see her too. Nora's lightning then turned red and she was speeding compared to Barry and Dawn who gave each other a look before going after her. All 3 of the speedsters still driver at the same time and threw 3 lightning bolts at Cicada but she got away.
They found out that she needs one more thing to complete her machine so they are looking for it as Joe is keeping everything intact at the station and Caitlin is pulling and all-nighter makings sure all the cures are being made. Nora told them what happened when she was running and she wanted to use it to their advantage but they want deer to be safe so they aren't.

In the morning CCPD was named with meat humans and Caitlin was trying to serve as many cures as she could. They founds where a hyper-conduit was but she got it first. As a desperate attempt to defeat Cicada they are using Nora and her connection to Grace.
Nora was in the speed lab and they had her in the old trap they used to trap Thawne all those years ago. This way she can't hurt anyone. Barry, Iris, Cisco and Dawn were there for her outside. Nora stuck the M.A.D 2.0 on her head and her eyes turned black with sparks of orange. "I can see the completed atomiser I can't see where she's taking it." Nora said but before she could Grace figured out what she was doing and Nora was having a conversation with her. Nora inanely controlled what she was seeing and found that Grace was at CCPD.
Nora was resting at Star Labs and Barry, Dawn, Cisco were going to meet up with them there. Joe was there when Cicada came in the main office. She stop everyone's powers and they all evacuated except for Joe who tried getting a few shots off. She was about to kill Joe when Barry sped him away.
"Hey Cricket freak" Frost said "You and I have some unfinished business" Shen then blasted him and Barry came and punched her to the side. "Nice hit" she said and Cisco came through the breach and Dawn sped in. Something about this was still fishy to her, it was Thawne.
"It won't keep her down long" Barry said
"Why do we have our powers?" Dawn asked
"The dagger is in the atomizer" Barry said and was about to shoot it.
"Wait, if we shoot it while it's still in there then it could detonate the virus" Cisco said
"Uhh, she's waking up" Dawn said
"Figure out a way to stop it, we got you" Barry said and Cisco went to go figure to out. Frost then put up an ice wall to help slow her down.
"Touching this thing could set if off, my powers only work here" Cisco said
"Then use your brain" Sherlock said standing next to Iris and Nora.
"Morning Cicada, try fighting us without your dagger" Dawn said
"I don't need a dagger to kill you I didn't have it before I came to this time" She said and shot Barry so he was up against a wall. He then sent Dawn and Frost flying up to the next level. She knocked Barry out and while she was distracted Frost tried to get a shot at her but she dodged it. Cicada then went up the second level and Frost had two ice daggers in hand. "Wanna kill me, come get me" she said
"What she said" Dawn said creating ice daggers of her own"
While they were fighting Cisco tried to disarm the atomiser with the help of Nora over the coms. "You should see a control process plane that you should be"
"I need a quantum computer to hack this" Cisco said
"Its a good thing we have one" Nora said and got her gauntlet and used the breacher device to breach it to Cisco. He was trying to focus really hard and the team was trying to stall but were getting their buts kicked out there. Cicada kicked the two girls put cold before gong back down to the ground level.
Barry was waking up but she used her powers to shove him through the ice wall and he went flying. Cisco just inputed the last wire as it was about to detonate. "It's too late" she said but then it powered down and she could believe it. She was about to hurt Cisco but Barry speed punched her across the room. Frost and Dawn coem down as well ands stood next to Barry.
"Barry" Cisco said and threw him the gun. In that moment Dawn realised thanwes plan. He wanted to live, the dagger was the only thinking keeping his powers from working, he is a criminal mastermind, he knew all of this would happen. It was all in front of her.
"Don't shoot it" Dawn said but Barry still did it, she used her speed to intercept the blast so the mirror gun hit her instead of the dagger. Luckily she wasn't only turned to a chunky version of herself for some reason.
"Dawn" Barry said and crouched next to her and Caitlin did the same.
"Thawne, Cicada, Dagger" Is all Dawn said before passing out. Cicada then retrieved her dagger and flew away.

I Totally Don't Have Anger Problems!
Discontinued 7/11/2020 Sorry if anyone was hoping for more updates. It seems I'm losing interest in the character as time goes on - not sure if that's due to miscalculated character development direction or just a limited amount to express in the first place. If I do any writing projects in the future, I'll make sure the premise has a lot of room for long-term, interesting, development before posting anything. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback! I’m Talia Shimada, and my life just got a lot more complicated. One moment I was just doing some regular investigation of an interesting boy from my senior year in high school, and then suddenly, everything went wrong and I was stranded in another world in the middle of nowhere. It’s not my fault he left a clear line of sight to his house keys where they could be photographed and replicated on a 3D printer! Now I’m stuck in the middle of a giant forest with all these annoying creatures that keep attacking me until I SMASH THEM INTO PIECES AND STOMP ON THEIR REMAINS, surviving off of raw meat and, well, other kinds of raw meat. What, am I supposed to know which plants are edible in some far-away wilderness on another PLANET!? This is a planet right? It has to be! What did I do to deserve this? At least that class I got is useful. Now, when something doesn’t do what it’s supposed to, I can keep smashing it until it CAN’T BE A PROBLEM ANY MORE BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL! If anyone else tries to get in the way of my plans, I’ll just PICK UP THEIR PUNY BODIES AND THROW THEM ASIDE and watch them sail away, never to trouble me again, because I am DONE having people mess with my life and not being able to do anything about it! From now on, anyone who tries will get to briefly realize their error as I SMASH THEM INTO PASTE BECAUSE THEY PICKED A FIGHT WITH THE WRONG WOMAN! I totally don’t have anger problems!
