Meet Your Doom (EoWells x Reader)
Rating: T
Summary: What happens when you find out your seemingly perfect boyfriend turns out to be the psychotic evil Speedster Team Flash has been hunting this whole time? The prequel to Out of This (Doom)World.
A/N: I may have altered the timeline of the final episodes of Season 1 a bit in order to fit my vision for this story. Hope it worked out!
Life was perfect.
You have the job. The friends. The boyfriend. And sure, you tend to have these pesky visions that sometimes bring on headaches in varying degrees of pain, but other than that, life was perfect.
With a pep in your step, you arrive at S.T.A.R. Labs, the workplace of your love, Doctor Harrison Wells. How did you ever get so lucky?
Your heels clack on the floor as you enter the Cortex where Team Flash relaxes after a hard day's work of metahuman ass-kicking. Harrison had let you in on the secret of him leading the superhero group devoted to saving the city and helping Barry to run faster. How your man juggles so many philanthropic projects at once is awe-inspiring to you.
“There's my favourite journalist.” Harrison is the first to spot you. He always is. He always has his lovely baby blues glued to you. “You look exceptionally beautiful today,” he says adjusting his glasses. He makes your heart skip a beat.
“And you look especially sexy today.” You bend down to give Harrison a kiss hello and he returns it with a passion you're not used to seeing outside of the bedroom and certainly not in front of his colleagues. It catches you by surprise.
“Doctor Wells, do you and the Mrs. have to do this every time?” asks Cisco.
“Apologies, Cisco,” Harrison replies. “And (Y/N) isn't my Mrs. Not yet, anyway.” He flashes you a very aware smile and takes your hand to hold.
You rest a hand on his shoulder. “Ready to leave, babe?”
“I believe I am.”
“May I?” you ask, gesturing to his chair.
“Please do.”
You sit yourself down on his lap and Harrison drives his chair out of the Cortex. Even when he turns the corner, you can still hear Cisco's voice, “See, why can't I have something like that? Something beautiful and gross.”
That evening, you cook for Harrison. You wanted to do something special for your two year anniversary with him and what better way to spend it than a quiet, intimate night in, just the two of you?
The night is filled with deep conversation and loving gazes, which also follows you to your shared bed, where you celebrate your love of each other in a whole other way....
But oddly enough, you didn't sleep well afterwards. Your body tosses and turns in the middle of the night as a vision cruelly interrupts your sleep cycle. It pounds your brain with an urgent intensity. Your visions have never disturbed you in your sleep before.
In the vision, you see a man standing with his back to you. Harrison's motorized chair rests behind the figure, and when the man turns to show his face, you feel like screaming bloody murder.
It's Harrison. The love of your life.
But his eyes glow an evil red as if possessed.
Red lightning emits from his body and in a split second, he's gone.
You wake up with sweat on your forehead and feeling out of breath. What you just saw scares you to your very core. If this vision is true (and why wouldn't it be?), you needed to alert Team Flash. All your lives were in danger.
Harrison Wells is the man in yellow.
You try not to wake your more-than-likely-evil boyfriend by pulling back the covers.
“(Y/N),” comes Harrison's sleepy voice, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah. Yeah, I'm just going to get a glass of water,” you lie. “Be back soon.” Reaching for your phone on the nightstand, you get up and attempt to casually leave the room without looking back. Out in the living room, your fingers attempt to type out a text message to Barry, the only person who has the ability to help you in this moment, and quickly.
I don't think Harrison is who he
says he is. I need help. NOW.
Before you can hit send, a voice sends a chilling shiver down your spine:
“I wouldn't do that if I were you.”
What's strange is that you've heard this voice for the past two years and never once has it brought this kind of fear out of you.
“I knew your visions would eventually cause problems for me,” Harrison continues, moving bit by bit closer to you. He knows. It's difficult for you to wrap your head around him walking after all this time. “But hey, it's the price I pay for loving you.”
You feel sick.
“You're him. You're the Reverse-Flash.” He's been under your nose this whole time. Almost every night you'd ask Harrison how Team Flash was faring with the hunt for the man in yellow and every time he'd say they were making progress. Lies. All lies. How could you have missed this?
“Please, call me Eobard, my dear.”
“Eobard?” The name doesn't sound right in your ears, but it could be just that you're used to saying Harrison when speaking to the man with this face.
“Yes, and it sounds so good to hear it from your lips. Say it for me again, would you?”
“I wouldn't want to give you the satisfaction.”
Harris- no, Eobard, is closing in on your personal space. You have your phone grasped tightly behind your back. If I could just press send...
Done!
The villain shakes his head. “It's a shame it has to come to this.”
“C-Come to what?” Eobard is faster than you had anticipated, as he whisks you out of the house and passes buildings and vehicles in a total blur. You tumble to the cold, hard ground of some dark and unknown underground location.
“So what? You're going to leave me in this hole to rot all alone?”
Eobard laughs.
“Well, you won't be alone,” he says. “Isn't that right, Eddie?” A weary grunt comes from over in the corner. CCPD Detective Eddie Thawne sits limp and tied to a chair. He looks dreadful. Weak. How long has he been down here? Wherever here is?
“I don't know what kind of sick, twisted plan you have going on, but you won’t succeed.” It takes everything for you to not let your voice waver. To not let him hear your broken heart through your words. “Barry will stop you.”
“Au contraire, my dear,” Eobard says with an evil smile that seems to fit him. “Mr. Allen will be helping me. Whether he likes it or not.” You have no idea what this means. Eobard uses his super-speed to carry and tie you up to another chair like Eddie's in the blink of an eye. The rope scratches at your wrists.
“You know, if we were alone, this could be fun,” the Speedster's breath is warm in your ear. “Very reminiscent of your birthday last year.”
Your stomach churns.
“Shut up.”
“Aw, come on, (Y/N). You know I love you? I'm doing this for us. Soon we will be out this archaic time and the world will be ours. I have a plan.”
We? Plan?
“I don't want any part of this. Leave me out of it.”
“I'm afraid that's not an option.” Eobard steals a kiss from you. There's no other word for it other than steals. “I'll be back for you. Sit tight.”
“Ha ha.” The underground area becomes quiet once your psycho boyfriend leaves, save for the detective's noises of discomfort. Well, one thing's for sure...
No one has had a worse anniversary than you.
Hours pass. You're sure of it. What you are unsure of, is whether Barry or anyone from Team Flash for that matter has received your hasty text for help. Your multiple attempts to talk with Eddie about the current situation are futile. He's so out of it. You wonder how long it will take until you become this way, too.
But then, you hear the sound of a hatch opening from above. A man and a woman's voice echo down to the depths of where you're being held.
It's Joe and Iris West.
“(Y/N)! Eddie!” Iris cuts away your binds while Joe takes care of Eddie's.
“Thank God you're alive!” she says. “We've been looking everywhere-”
“Iris,” you tell your work friend, “It’s Harrison. He's the Reverse-Flash!”
“His name is Eobard.” Eddie's voice is scratchy. How does he know this? “He said that we're family. He's a Thawne. My descendant.”
You are so confused. Joe must see this on your face.
“Come on,” he says. “Let's meet up with the rest of team... And get you both some clean clothes.” You look at Eddie, whose suit is dingy from however long he's been down here, and then to yourself, still clad in your nightgown. You're too tired and shaken to feel any kind of embarrassment.
“Good idea.”
You end up sleeping for almost an entire day and a half. While Team Flash works out a way to deal with Eobard, you sleep the stress and heartache away in a back room of S.T.A.R. Labs. You wish you could be more help, but you don't have the energy right now. Besides, Team Flash knows what they're doing. Right?
On and off during this time of mental recuperation, a recurring image of a dark hole in the sky flickers in your mind. Sometimes you see it for longer periods of time, others shorter. It's unclear what this means, or when this phenomenon will take place, but nonetheless, it frightens you even while sleep.
A knock on the door wakes you. Your eyes flutter open to see Caitlin standing in the doorway, peeking in. She looks upset.
You sit up. “Caitlin?”
“(Y/N), I have terrible news.”
“What? What is it?”
She takes a breath. “Doctor Wells... Thawne is getting ready to return to his time.”
“Isn't this good news?”
“He... He threatened us. Saying if you didn't go with him to the future, he'd kill us all.” This statement cuts at you like a knife. Like hell if you were going with Eobard!
But if you don't, your friends will suffer.
I have to go. For their sakes.
“Take me to him.”
Eobard, the man you thought you knew, holds his arms out and open to you as if welcoming you back into his presence.
Where is Barry? And why is he not jumping in to save the day?
You suppose you're the one saving the day, in a sense, going with this man to keep your friends from being killed. Eobard is handsy with you and very firm when ushers you towards a glass bubble-like machine. Dressed in his infamous yellow and black suit, he has you sit down beside him in the chair within. The door closes on you both and he smiles to himself. Eobard is getting his way. Like he's planned for since the beginning. As he punches a button on the control panel, the futuristic machine begins to hover off the ground. There’s a far-off look in his eye.
“Home,” he whispers.
It may be his home, but it will never be yours.
Then, a torpedoing red streak hurtles its way directly at you both. The Flash. Barry smashes the glass machine, shattering it into a million shards and broken pieces, while also managing to cradle and shield you from the collision. Eobard starts yelling furiously at Barry.
“Get back,” Barry instructs you, staying in between you and the villain. It doesn't take long for the two Speedsters to begin fighting all around the courtyard to the death. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot Eddie, who has come to help you out of the situation safely. He offers you his hand.
“Go. Get away from here, quickly.” But Eddie doesn't seem to be coming with you.
“What about you?”
“Don't worry about me.” The detective looks sad as he says this, but you hurry off to join Joe and Cisco far away from the violent battle. The moment you reach them though, a deafening gun-shot blast rings out in the air. Joe rushes to his partner, now collapsing to the ground, a seeping, bloody wound forming at his chest.
You can't breathe.
“Eddie is Eobard's ancestor,” Cisco explains in shock. “If Eddie dies, he'll never be born and- he's being erased from existence!”
You can't take your eyes off of Eobard. The face of Harrison, the face you loved, the face you've kissed an immeasurable amount of times, transforms before your very eyes. The shape of his jaw, his eyes, his hair. He's turning into a completely different looking person.
But he's still the same man who betrayed you on the inside.
Eobard keeps his focus on you witnessing his change. It's almost hard to watch with the amount of tears welling up in your eyes.
“Oh, (Y/N), we could have changed the world together...”
“You've changed my world enough for one lifetime.” Cracks of light emit from his body slowly, then all at once. Eobard lets out a painful holler as he disintegrates into the air, then and there.
Eviscerated from time.
Harrison is gone. Eobard is gone. All that's left of what once was is you toppling to the ground, with your head in your hands, unleashing everything you've been feeling since finding out his secret through an uncontrollable series of silent sobs.
It takes you a while to fully realize the entirety of Team Flash is huddling around you, trying to force you back into the Labs and away from the pull of the wormhole in the sky.
My vision.
“(Y/N)! You gotta get up!” Barry shouts. “We can't lose you! Not like this!”
Before you can yell back “what's the point?!” Barry says one final thing:
“You are a part of this team as much as anyone! Team Flash doesn't abandon one of their own!”
His words are the driving force you needed to bring you to your feet. You stare up at the daunting, spiralling wormhole hovering above and wipe the streaks of tears from your face with your sleeve.
“Okay, Team. Let's save the world.”

#TheFlash S3 Ep 21 “Cause and Effect” Recap & Review
Episode Grade 9 for the humor
We start where we left off in episode 20, Barry and Future Barry are having a conversation, and it is revealed that Savitar is a time remnant from when Barry created Flashpoint. He explains that he was a duplicate and as future Barry had told he killed all the remnant except himself and because he was broken after he was shunned by him and the entire team because he was an admiration he created Savitar. He tells Barry that he only needed two more things Iris to die and the other he will keep to himself.
Future Barry continues to explain that he will soon ascend and that when he does Barry would be the one forgotten. Barry tried to kill future Barry but was attack by the Savitar suit “My suit is way cooler than your” he said. The attack each other with their lightening and the collision of both cause an explosion.
Barry is back at Star Labs, and he tells the team that Savitar is him, and Cisco explains that he was the worst parts of Barry. Cisco put it together that the message that was sent to the wave rider was from future Barry about Savitar Barry “everything is coming together in the worst way possible” Cisco mumbles.
Cisco explains fours from now future Barry creates remnants to help defeat Savitar, but Savitar made that one lives so when he put in prison he can go back in time so make it seems like he was the first speedster. Cisco tells them it was a close loop, and Wally brings up the fact that the remnant has Barry feelings and memories and questions why would he want to kill Iris.
Barry and H.R to help Tracey put a rush on the trap he is making. Barry tells Iris about the darkness and pain that he thinks lives within him, while Cisco and Julian work on the way to stop Savitar from knowing what Barry is thinking.
Cisco interrupt their conversation telling them he has the best or worst idea ever; Cisco and Julian create a machine to perm Barry memories. They were attempting let Barry forget daily activated mainly, but the disrupter took away all Barry’s memory, so he doesn’t even know who he is or anyone around him “who is Barry?”
Joe receives a call from Cecile that she need Barry at CCPD immediately, Iris tells Cisco and Julian that she and Joe will take Barry to CCPD while he and Julian figure out a way to reverse what they did to Barry’s brain. Meanwhile, Tracey has hit a speedbump in building the machine, so HR suggest that Tracy takes a step back and think about something that calms her so she can see what she is missing, they have a moment, and HR quickly runs away.
Joe, Iris and Barry have arrived at CCPD “Hi, I am Barry Allen, but you can call me Bart.” Is how Barry greeted Cecile. (I laughed so hard). Barry needs to testify against a pyromaniac named Lucious Coolidge because he was the CSI on the case. Joe tells Cecile that Barry has amnesia so he can’t testify and Joe goes down to the court to see if he can get delay the court date and Barry and Iris go out to eat.
We learn that Savitar has also lost his memory after killer frost goes to figure out why he is kneeling not doing anything after revealing his identity to Barry and team Flash.
Iris tries to be filled in some of the blanks in Barry’s memory and is enjoys a smiling and pain-free Barry. Barry received a call to go to the courthouse. Team Flash arrive at the courthouse to help Barry get through testifying without his memory and give him an eyeglass which that show him what to say, Julian uses it to toot his own horn. Barry starts to sweat as Cecile questions him and the sweat cause the eyeglass to spark and with no memory of his own could not answer the question, and Coolidge goes free.
Cisco and Julian arrive back and tells Wally that Barry’s memory loss have become a problem, and Killer Frost who was inside agreed telling them that Savitar has also lost his memory. Wally tried to speed over to Killer Frost and release that he had lost his speed, she tells them that she knows why and if they wanted to help Wally and Barry they must do exactly what she says.
Barry and Iris have arrived their Loft and Barry is expressing is guilty to Iris about Coolidge being free from prison, and she assures him that it was not his fault. Barry loves the décor of their apartment and sees’s pictures of his parent and Iris tells him that they were dead, and that how he came to live with her and Joe. She tells Barry that they were friends before he came to live with them and he was the happiest kid she has every met, and he tells her that it was because she came into his life.
Barry kisses Iris and stop, but she said it was ok and he continues to kiss her which turn on his speed which he does not remember how to control.
Barry, Iris, and Joe arrive at Star Labs, and Barry is all ecstatic about is need found power, but walk into a room filled with tension “buzz killed” he said, and Killer Frost came out saying her present in a room usually causes that effect.
Joe reaches for his gun, but Cisco tell him not to shot, and they explain that when Barry loses his memory Savitar also loses his memory, so Wally never got his speed. Caitlin offers to help them get Barry’s memory, and Wally’s speed back, the team consider it because if they don’t, they would have to stop Savitar from killing Iris. Killer Frost assure them that the Barry that they have right now can protect the City, so they have a tough choice to make.
H.R and Tracy shares a kiss which inspires a new idea, and Killer Frost, Cisco, and Julian work together to out thing back to normal. Cisco uses this opportunity to reminisce of some of his special moment with Caitlin telling her that when he thinks about the memories, he cherishes most she was in all they and Barry enjoy running in their indoor speed track.
Joes and Iris discuss the fact that Iris is conflicted on whether she wants Barry to remember because he is so happy and carefree. But Joe explains to Iris that he was not the real Barry without his memories whether they were good or bad.
In the City Coolidge is on the move and start a fire, leaving Barry no choice but to save the people in the building. Killer Frost have found a solution to Barry memory loss, but after zapping him he still does not regain his memory, but still, goes out to stop the fire.
Barry is at the scene, but with no experience of his power, he does not know where to start. Iris helps Barry to remember by telling him about the first time they fell in love, Iris tells Barry that wish that she could take the dark memory away, but for every bad memory, there is a good one that could get him through it. Both Barry and Savitar remembers “I remember, I remember everything” they both said and Barry and Wally both save the day.
Barry and the team are back at Star Labs, and they test his memory, and they beg Caitlin to stay, and Julian tell her that he could fix her and she told them that he already tried and fail. Julian tells her that he will try harder, and he loves her, but she said that she doesn’t love him and she never has, and she never loved any of them.
Barry tells Iris that he thinks Caitlin is too far gone to get back, and she tells him that they can fight to get her back just like how they got him back. Barry ask Iris if she was sure that he was the Barry she wanted and she explains that it was nice to see him free of all the pain and darkness, and Barry tells Iris that he had that in Flashpoint and he could have kept it that way, but that would mean losing everyone he loves. Barry tells her that pain and darkness is a part of him and it makes him a better person and a better superhero. Barry and Iris shared a kiss which is interrupted by HR who brought them and the rest of the team to show the Speed Force Bazooka, but there is a problem, it would require more energy that the sun. The final scene cuts to a room that has some alien technology from the Dominators, guarded by King Shark.
I enjoyed this episode I laugh so much; this was a light episode yet it hit a lot of key spot in the plot for this season. We now know that Savitar is an admiration from the future who hold all present Barry now and future memory, so he knows what Barry is going to do before he does it. I was excited to she Caitlin back with the team telling us that she is not entirely Killer Frost yet, and Cisco uses the opportunity to bring back memories of the good old days. The Court scene Julian and the smiley face thing, I just laugh so much this episode I already watch it three times, it still on my DVR, I like Bart he a good guy.
