1 Prologue

"Nick... why the fuck are we doing this?" Thawne asks as the two walked under the hot sun of Pandora.

"Well if anyone wants to kick Reaver's ass it's probably Troy," Nick replies blandly.

"Well, I for one don't see how we are supposed to find him," Thawne says as Nick stops ahead of him.

"Well they say best friends forever don't they?" Nick says pointing to an impossible oasis.

A small tree grew behind Sarah's grave, now a proper well tended tombstone.

A small engravement on the stone read 'The Last and First Hero Of Many'.

The sound of gunfire persists as they drew closer to a fence made of junk, tires and scrap wood sloppily nailed and screwed together topped with barbed wire and Christmas lights.

This couldn't be the worse encampment on Pandora but it certainly was a hot mess.

"So now what?" Thawne wheezes, as his arm lay against the gate.

*knock knock knock*

"IS ANYBODY HOME?!" Nick yelled.

"ARE YOU A FUCKING IDIOT?!" Thawne scolded.

The gunshots stopped.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" A kids voice yelled.

"TINA WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU COULD-" the second voice stopped.

A certain female jumped down.

"Long time no see! It's The Tin Man and Speedrun Fail," Tyreen mocked.

"Call me that again one more time and you'll be known as The Runner's Roadkill," Thawne Threatened. Tyreen Smirked and pressed on.

"Either way, you both missed the funeral, but you couldn't even run fast enough to begin with notto mention Officer Modem over here,"

"Tyreen this is serious, We need to talk to, it's about Sarah," Nick interjected.

"Did you two see her?" Tyreen asked, all sense of mischief and malice replaced with concern.

"Oh no we came to visit, NO SHIT WHY ELSE WOULD I COME BACK TO THE PLACE I FAILED?!"

Thawne says grabbing Tyreen's Jacket.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!" Nick yelled.

Thawne forcefully released Tyreen and ended up in a similar hold, only now he was in the air.

"You, You have no right, to blame it all on yourself. She chose us to do this, and you know WHAT?!I'M BARELY KEEPING IT TOGETHER!!!" Nick yelled.

Tyreen watched as the Thawne struggled and failed to phase through Nick to escape his hold, earning him a well placed blow from Nick.

"THIS IS SHITTY FOR ALL OF US! YOUR ACTING LIKE A TEN YEAR OLD WHEN YOU WERE AS OLD AS I WAS BEFORE I BECAME AN ATOMIC WAR MACHINE LAB RAT! SHE CAME TO US OF ALL PEOPLE WHO COULD HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER, SHE COULD HAVE CHOSEN SOMEONE ELSE TO FINISH THIS FUCKING WAR AND I KNOW I'M NOT DEALING WITH YOUR BULLSHIT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!!!" Nick proclaimed. His eyes despite being only lights, flared with pure rage and disgust.

"SO DECIDE RIGHT NOW EOBARD, ARE YOU GOING TO WALLOW IN SELF DEPRIVTIVE PITY OR ARE YOU GONNA SHOW SOME FUCKING DIGNITY AND HONOR AND GET OF YOUR HIGH HORSE?!" Nick asked.

"I can't breathe-," Thawne answered barley muttering the words.

Unknown to Nick his hands had made their way to Thawne's neck.

The embers faded as a shadowy figure stood above Sarah's Grave appeared, catching his attention.

He lowered Thawne by his collar and released him.

The figure had disappeared. But it's face, was unmistakably familiar to Thawne.
